contaythehero Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 FIVERR AND FIVERR SELLERS! I got a message from (Fragglesrock) claiming he was willing to order 25 orders a day…it sounded far fetched but hey I shot for it. He asked for google information and verification codes before we would start. I gave it to him just to see what would happen shortly afterwards. My profile was stolen. My email was changed slightly so I couldn’t log back in and he shut me out of my emails. If I wasn’t a computer science major I wouldn’t have known what to do to get all this back…plus linking my account to Facebook really helped out! YOU ARE AWESOME FIVERR! So sellers, buyers, everyone! Please watch out for false buyers trying to steal your profile. There is not telling how many fake profiles he’s made and how many profiles he’s stolen. THIS IS YOUR FAIR WARNING…AND FIVERR INVESTIGATE THIS JERK!Sincerely,Contay The HeroSheriff’s note: Please do not call out sellers or buyers on the forum. The screenshot of the conversation has been removed for this reason. If the names and details are obscured then it’s allowed, but any matters like this need to be dealt with by customer support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aingham69 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 This has been happening for a while. Never ever give out information like this. Nobody ever needs the verification codes for any orders–it’s a clear sign that there is a problem. You were lucky that you knew what to do, and maybe that is why you choose to give the codes to see what would happen. However, many people don’t.Please don’t give these codes or any personal information to buyers or sellers–or those posing to be them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcgraphicdesign Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Yes i just got a message from him too, sounded very dodgy so i did a quick google search on his username ‘fragglesrock’ and found this. He also asked me to contact him using his gmail acount which i did not do, i used the fiverr messaging system to reply and decline his request. Thanks for the heads up! Sellers beware!

calderjon Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Did this conversation happen outside of Fiverr?There, perhaps, is the answer, follow the rules, stay safe.It’s not rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbadrawings Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I got this and ignored the link. Just too dodgy looking and outside the TOS etc etc. Reported it to CS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
