humanissocial Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I assume you mean from someone who hasn’t ordered from you. The fact that it is an iso file itself is a red flag, as is someone sending you a file without them having an order with you.Never open a file from someone who isn’t your client. Even if it isn’t a scam or virus, it is really unreasonable for someone to do that. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Files are only to help you understand the requirements and fulfill them – and only sent when an order is active. An iso file wouldn’t do any of those things. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ducktheunicorn Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Every time a Fiverr user has sent me a file outside of an order page it has been a request to communicate or pay outside of Fiverr. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jberba1 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 You should even be careful with doc and excel files as some may contain malicious macros etc. that can infect your system. Just use common sense and screen the sender for obvious clues, like when was the profile created etc. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
