Scam, be carefull!

[Guest nicred]

HI guys I just got an inbox claiming to offer me more sales?? Seemed fishy. Link led me to a page asking for my username, email, password and telephone number - My scam senses are tingling I wouldn’t advise anyone to enter any info on this page…



This is what it says in the message I received:

fiverrnews

This is 100% an attempt to get your username and password.



There are several giveaways here.



#1 Fiverr do not use a mickey Mouse domain with a TK extension. Unfortunately some people will not look at the address bar.



#2 If you are already on fiverr and logged in you don’t need to login again and this is a clear attempt to grab your login credentials.



#3 The language and grammar, or lack of, used in the message is another giveaway.



#4 The form presented to you is asking for far more information than fiverr ( or any other site for that matter) would ask at login and is obviously trying to get every piece of information needed to gain access to your account and compromise it.



I would report this to support. They are obviously not able to do anything about external sites (except report them) but at least they can ban this person.

Reply to @markp: I reported immediately and im sure it will be taken care of - I would hate for anyone to be hacked, its such a shame when I see that someone has lost their earnings on Fiverr.



I reported the offender and posted to the forum within 5 minutes of receiving the message.

I don’t understand . What is this?

[Guest nicred]

Reply to @designersohel: It’s a way for hackers/scammers to acquire your Fiverr.com login details.



If they get your login details they can and will empty out your account balance, which wont be much fun 😉

Don’t even click links or download any files from anyone that hasn’t placed an order with you. This type of thing happens way too often!

I have reported this person and botfiverr who have sent me this same message.

Botfiverr made me confused for a second so I had to contact CS. The reason-remember when FiverrBot sent us messages about live portfolio-they used almost the same name for this scam.

Not to mention the “potential clients” sending .exe files as a sample of what would they like to be designed.
