Suspicious buyer maybe??? NSFW voiceover

[nancystille]

Hi everyone! So I have a NSFW voice over gig on my profile. I have a buyer that asked me for a sample because he has a project (those were his words). I gave him the "no free samples" speech, and he said that's fine, but he asked me to please send him the sample recording that's on my demo on my profile. I was a little confused because, well, it's on my profile, for anyone to hear. He continues and tells me that when I send the sample he will then forward it to his client, and the client will purchase the gig. He then tells me the client didn't provide any details on the project, and that the client is not on the platform and that's why he can't see my demo. I'm assuming that's BS and that this whole thing smells fishy, but thought I'd ask.

I wouldn't say for sure. I have many clients on Fiverr who in turn have clients outside of Fiverr, meaning they need my mp3 demos. I always send demos with music (to avoid AI theft). I see no harm in that. If the buyer is fishy, the worst they can do is listening to your demos, I guess. 🤣 

With all of that said, you could be in violation of the community standards with your gig. I would take it down if I were you. 

Here's an excerpt from the Community Standars, found here: https://www.fiverr.com/community/standards/objectionable-content

"Explicit content meant to be sexually gratifying is not allowed on Fiverr. If detected or reported, sexually explicit content will be blocked and participants could be banned from the marketplace. Gigs and deliveries portraying violent, graphic, or humiliating fetishes are also not allowed. "

Do not post, offer or ask for:

• Nude or adult related images, or videos.

• Sex or s****l partners.

• Sex chats or conversations.

• The execution of fetish scenarios.

• Sexually gratifying modeling.

• Sexually gratifying voiceovers.

• Content that depicts explicit s****l activity, unless the conditions for “documentary exception,” as listed above, exist.

And here from the Terms of Service: https://www.fiverr.com/terms_of_service

Gigs and/or users may be removed by Fiverr from the Site for violations of these Terms of Service and/or our Community Standards, which may include (but are not limited to) the following violations and/or materials:

• Adult oriented services, Pornographic, Inappropriate/Obscene

Followed your advice! That gig isn't available anymore, just left my regular perfectly-safe-for-work voiceover gig lol. Thanks a lot for taking the time to respond.

@smashradio

thanks for this idea. I've always felt uncomfortable sending demos.
