jbadrawings Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Same here, I was suspicious of that page as I had just logged in a second or two before. so I didn’t fill it in, luckily. But I wasn’t totally sure it was a scam until I read your message. Thanks. I searched out the gig mentioned and replied, asking for clarification, doh! but without giving any of my details.have you reported it to CS?

springarts Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hey,I had a level 2 account. But am not able to log in to to since yesterday. It keeps saying the email does not exist in their directory. BUt on searching my gig still turns up in the results. So that rules out the gig being disabled. I guess my account has been hacked. Hence had to create another account from scratch for the time being. Even tried contacting fiverr support. Its almost been more than a day still havnt heard from them. Really worried !! Anyone else experienced anything like this ever? Also does the customer support take this long to respond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adorablenames Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 I never actually submitted my password. Almost did cause it was early in the AM and I was on my ipad.

jbadrawings Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Reply to @adorablenames:Wow, eagle eyes 😉 I couldn’t work out why it wanted my name, when the name comes up automatically the way i have it set up on my computer, that’s what stopped me and made me engage my brain. . .

jontcoleman Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Always be vigilant everyone! And change those passwords regularly.I’m hoping Fiverr implements two-step verification. If you haven’t already turned that on for Facebook, twitter, etc… it’s a wonderful peace of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
