ifolo12 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I got a message from a supposed buyer, the buyer sent me a document saying that I would find their request in that document. So I downloaded it, in the document the buyer stated that he needs a long-term business relationship and I should sign-up in their company to be a staff after that I should send my details such as name, country, ■■■■■ ID etc. And I should also pay a sign-up fee of $30 then afterwards they would place 3-5 orders daily on Fiverr. He also listed a tempting price range per month.So please I need advice from the experts and experienced people on Fiverr.I am still new on Fiverr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humanissocial Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Even in this wasn’t a scam and wasn’t a breach of ToS, you should never pay a fee to do work. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genuineguidance Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 The clue to the scam here is not only them asking you to pay them, but, that they sent this “offer” to you as an attachment. My guess is that if they tried to write whatever they wrote in the messages, it would keep flagging certain words.Definitely report this as spam after you reply to them in case it would harm your response rate. Good thing you asked about it here before being lured by a “too good to be true” offer.GG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misscrystal Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Pay someone $30 so they can then order from you several times a day? Usually they can do that without the seller paying them first. I hope no one falls for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
