neotechincpk Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hello sellers I wish a good day for you all, this topic related to the scammers in the form of buyers, who will search new sellers gigs and will send them message to do no pay work before placing an order, because they want to test your ability and if they pass you then you will have more work from them, this is totally insane. If a seller following all term of Fiverr then buyer also should follow and place an order to seller if the job is small or complicated does not matter. I will suggest all sellers do not work without placing an order. You will get scam and waste your time.Wishing best for you allThanks 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avextor Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Buyers can do test of your ability, your skills, or your worth. But Buyers have to pay Sellers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenasemenkova Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I talked my good friend into joining fiverr recently. He left in a month without making a sale because he was scandalized by the number of scammers and fishy offers going his way.It’s either it’s gotten worse since I’ve joined or maybe it’s more prevalent in certain categories?Either way, good for you. I like the way you approach this. A potential buyer who wants free “test” work will NEVER make a purchase. They will tell you how they were fooled before, how they are not sure that you are that special person they want to entrust with their $5 project, how it is your job and holy duty to woo them befre they pay, etc., etc. Don’t do it, it’s not worth it.That being said, a potential buyer wanted a free sketch from me last week to make sure he’s not “wasting time” with me. And I’m here for 4 years. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammyl9 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Cheers for tipping us off! I’ve just put my first Gig up and I’m imagine it does get tempting to take the ‘opportunity’ if you get no requests for a time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanshuber16 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 If you want, you could have some “fun” with these scammers, as olie01 did: 😉 For context this happened the same day as I made my first ever gig. I got no messages for a couple weeks, the scammer must have ran dry on good leads though because he came back. I decided to have a little fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’m here for 4 years.I’ve been on Fiverr since 2014. The scammers seemed to arrive around early 2016. I’ve now raised my rates and they tend to steer clear. I was actually surprised. I added up my income over the past month and it’s pretty much the same. Fewer orders, less time working on them, but same income. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime a buer asks for trial, I would just say you can view my profile and I dont think it;s necessary if you are really interested in working with me. My credentials are up to the mark and you can find it in my feedback section 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
