jenniyoung76 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Has anyone been scammed? I think I am being scammed by a buyer. They are really getting on me about banking information to pay me and want me to open an new checking account. Has anyone else had this issue? Please let me know.

socialhonor Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I have been a victim of a scamming buyer - who received work as described in my gig, with favorable results… but not the type of scam attempt you’re talking about… in your case OF COURSE HE OR SHE IS TRYING TO SCAM YOU.…Never, ever, give those types of details – or have any financial exchanges with fiverr buyers – outside of fiverr’s platform. It’s against fiverr’s TOS.You should report and block this person right away!🚩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve given them information that I should never have provided but just told them that I am no longer interested…They seemed so legit and I probably seemed so desperate to them. Ugh!!! I feel so foolish. I know better than this. I just got caught up in the newness of this. It was my first offer and I got too excited. Thank you for replying.

dynamicteapot Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Really sucks to both types of scams…Not here but as an artist people used to try to do this all the time (dip out on finished work). Be safe, go reset all the info you can and alert your bank, or accounts. The can issue a new card and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
