tarafs Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I’m new and I don’t know if this is a thing here but I have a gig up in lifestyle for getting life advice and so far, I’ve only got messages from guys who want “special service” which I block. I recently got a message about a client interested in my gig but it requires a special call. I’m trying to be as professional as I can. While that could actually be a serious client, I highly doubt that. Anyone else experience this ?? it’s very discouraging, I’m thinking to take my gig down… 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwyneth_galvin Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Yep, I’ve had men ask me if I can call their personal number, email them and send them “special” recordings for “personal use”.Where there are professional women, there will be creepy men. Just carry on blocking these weirdos, respond to the odd buyer request if possible, and eventually you will get a proper order. You’re doing the right thing by putting your foot down! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re doing the right thing by putting your foot down!they are asking me to contact on calling software and they dont even have a normal name, its just numbers which already feels like what i think it is. i hope so, i just wanted a way to reach out to people but you just have these types of guys just ruin it.

coerdelion Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 It might be helpful to specify in your gig description that you’re not available for anything “adult”. Can’t hurt, might help. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmwritingco Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 i thought those things are prohibited? either way, i guess it won’t hurt.They are, but lots of buyers on Fiverr don’t know the ins and outs of the TOS. There are also some buyers who hope you don’t know the ins and outs of the TOS, as that gives them a greater chance of manipulating you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misscrystal Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Since you are giving life advice professionally it is a good idea to understand that there are things like this happening on the internet quite a bit. Just continue to block these guys. What advise would you give a client with this situation going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure that you will periodically get all sorts of surprising messages just as I have. I just block them without giving it any thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coerdelion Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Your situation has been preying on my mind today, @tarafs - and I’ve come up with this statement for you that may help. You could add it to your gig.“Adult content is against Fiverr Terms of Service. I block and report adult requests.”Could work …Those who can’t - or won’t! - read, say no, block and report. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catwriter Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 you’re right. sigh. just don’t know why they just go somewhere else where it’s actually needed.just don’t know why they just go somewhere else where it’s actually needed.Fiverr is much cheaper than the sites offering the services they seek. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Some of these people see this as a place to make contact with females and have no place else to do it and as catwriter said, other places can be costly for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
