Spam, spam, spam

[sher1972]

Just today I’ve received two emails at have asked me if I 1) would like to get paid $5 for giving someone positive feedback on his eBay site, and 2) someone asking me to email them back if I want more info about an online business. I reported them both.



How much spam do you all usually receive? These were my first…

Never get any spam yet

Like @madmoo said not as much as I would expect on such a website but when I do I click the Report button and ignore

[anarchofighter]

Why is the first one Spam? It seems to be a legitimate request for gig service based on your profile, no?

Reply to @anarchofighter:



No, giving feedback has nothing to do with any of my gigs… The emails were sent as messages through my gigs.

[anarchofighter]

OH yes, my mistake. I think I clicked another profile and saw some writing gigs. I see you’re all art. And frankly, very nice art!

I’ve never gotten spam on Fiverr before. Good thing, I get enough of it in my email inbox already.

[boslass]

I get it occasionally 😕 I either ignore or report.

I got once, I knew it because I couldn’t open the message and there’s a notification that it deleted due to spam flag. So I actually never read any spam message here LOL

[shawnecannon]

I don’t usually get much spam thankfully

[jayapatel]

i haven’t received any yet but not surprised - a lot of spam going on on the internet.

I get nothing but spam. I have not gotten a single genuine inquiry on any of my gigs. I get everything from people just saying Hi and nothing else, to people saying they will pay me $250 dollars (which is well over my gig price) if I will contact them via Google Hangouts or ■■■■■. I have gotten 35 of them over the last 3 months and 14 were just the last month alone. I have contacted Fiverr customer service multiple times and they inform my case is unheard of to them. . . and it appears that may be the case. . . but they are doing nothing other than simply saying they are sorry. My response time is still taking a hit because I am not engaging with spammers. I would be curious to know if anyone else has had any issues close to what I am having.

You are replying 7 years later (maybe you didn’t notice).

The moderators don’t like to see old posts resurrected.

Best just to create your own new topic for discussion.

Enjoy the forum. 🙂

Tell them you can’t help them, then block them and report them.

I have never received spam on Feever. Probably still to come!
