uk1000 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 You mean to say that It’s illegal and risky?He wants access to your PC it looks like, it’s a scam (it could be illegal what he wants to do, he could also commit fraud/Id theft or something) and probably nothing to do with your gigs. Also if he wasn’t allowed to trade in his country, doing it through your PC would also not be allowed - but it’s a scam.Refuse what he’s asking. You can report it if you want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miiila Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 You mean to say that It’s illegal and risky?She means to say that it’s illegal and risky. And the wow doesn’t mean “Wow, what a great opportunity you got there” but “Why is that even a question, that this is illegal and risky”.Don’t engage with requests like that, reply briefly if you’re worried about your response rate and/or mark it as spam. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misscrystal Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 He wanted to do something illegal and use your computer and IP address to do it.So you get in trouble and possibly loss money and go to jail instead of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humanissocial Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 You mean to say that It’s illegal and risky?Yes and obviously a scam/ a way for this person to do nefarious activity through you without getting in trouble and obviously not appropriate for Fiverr and against the ToS.It’s deeply concerning that you don’t see this and need to ask. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
