capitalquality Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 It sounds like the buyer is trying to pay you outside Fiverr, so no, don’t do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offlinehelpers Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 There’s no reason any buyer should ask you to signup for any account outside Fiverr.Is the person asking you to do this a buyer, or was it just a (spam) message? In either case, CS is your first port of call - glad you’ve contacted them, and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catwriter Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 You retouch photos and design business cards, why would he ask you to create coinbase accounts and… Wait… “Then you can change amounts/names/dates on those transactions to create p.ayment proofs according to my needs.”?Is he asking you to create fake proofs of payments, and, basically, break the law?Don’t people go to prison for doing things like that?

eoinfinnegan Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Sometimes it can be necessary to sign up to a site to get access to the information that you need to do a job so that is not an issue as long as it is described through the gig description and does not lead to communication outside the forum.What the buyer is asking you to do in this situation is to create fake proofs of payment which is completely illegal. Often, these would be used for tax fraud or scams and when authorities investigate they will probably discover that you made them. Being paid to assist fraud is also illegal and you could be reported to the authorities in your country. At the very least it would be reported to Fiverr and your account would be removed.Do not do this and report it to customer support. If CS do not understand what you mean then I suggest you send them what I have said above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
