Don't be like this guy

[Alex.M]

Even if you're having a rough day or whatever , try not to be like this guy over here ... As funny as it might seem this kind of behavior  could even get you (the seller ) in trouble if you respond in the same manner as this lovely user who contacted me. Always be careful when you are dealing with someone like this...  

By the way he hasn't been banned yet , I wanted to suggest him to contact support but I realize that it would be useless after his second reply.

Poeple trying to cheat the system and trying to start a brand new account. They don't realize Fiverr can do an IP ban.. :)) and a variety of other methods can be used to ensure he never has another account.

it's not that efficient though... there are ways of opening new accounts even if your IP was banned ( ask me how 😅 , just kidding ) but yes for the average user an IP ban should be enough... Even if he starts a new account with this kind of attitude / behavior he won't last long here.

I find it more funny than terrible that's why I wanted to share this 😄

VPN obviously. But he would have to use his VPN all the time, and it would be very easy to slip just by not turning the VPN on once.

An IP ban is easy to get past. Most of the time, a modem reboot is all it takes. 

But yes, Fiverr uses a number of techniques to stop users from registering multiple accounts. I'm sure they use cookies, IPs, device IDs, in addition to phone numbers, a database of Paypal and Payoneer accounts, ID verification and user reports to mention a few. We used to do this all the time back when I worked at an online community. Connecting the dots is usually very simple, because most people will make at least one mistake.

Besides the fact that this is obviously sad and pathetic, I agree with you seeing the funny side of it especially the last message 🙈

The use of the clown is very fitting I must say too. Nice creative choice!

Sure, but if he only has a dedicated IP, unless he uses VPN, it can be quite efficient. As you said, they have all kinds of data and tools to stop these people..

its a cat and mouse game really, people will always somehow be able to trick the system and a platform can only go so far not to negatively impact the average user experience. A person dedicated enough could always slip through, but all the tools you mentioned are efficient enough to get rid of most people who try something like this.

I must say he made my day, even the seller reply 🤣
But  don't get it, he just has to close his account in settings

I reported him by the way for his request and the way he talked but nothing happened , his account is still active  so... it seems that I wasn't able to help him too much 

[dlconcept1]

This is terrific! 

[prosjs]

Why won't he disable his account instead of wasting time on such activities?
