johnwangui Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I got a message and I thought (This must be a prospective buyer) I was very happy and I replied as fast as I can with an aim of turning this prospective buyer to a customer. Little did I know he is a seller trying to get help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muhammadfaheem0 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Something similar happened to me a few weeks back. Sellers contact me and offer their service and request to share my work burden with them for a share of 50% amount of the work. I simply reply them with a "Thank You for you offer" Lol.

vapeskorea Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Same dude messaged me.I told him my advice is not to spam people, or else he will be reported. I advised him to post on the forum, which he did. I think he probably messaged a ton of people who post on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catwriter Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 When that happens, I politely inform them that spamming people isn’t allowed, and that the only legit reason to message a seller is if they intend to buy and need to discuss the project. And then I report them and block them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is spamming other sellers.Every day you’ll find a number of sellers in the buyer request section who are posting their requests to order them. Who’ll tell them them that the buyer request page appears only to sellers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is spamming other sellers.They can get their messaging disabled that way, and if they keep doing it, they can get their account banned, too. Good riddance. Nobody likes spammers.Getting orders that way is highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
