joyh97 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 You should report them. You aren’t meant to contact people outside of fiverr unless it’s required for your service, which it doesn’t seem like it is. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did noit reply for 6 min then went offline.I did say i will not take any outside offers/gigs not on my fiver page and if he really needs something done to select the gig and use the instructions given. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloydsolutions Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 You need to remove the username of the buyer from your post as that is not allowed on the forum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your naïveté and lack of business savvy is making you prey for exploitation. Start thinking more critically to protect yourself.Read the ToS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
