In my experience, most of these accounts end up getting blocked by the messaging system before they get through to me, but some still slip through - they might be altering the texts a bit now to perhaps not pop up as spam to start with? Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anything we can do against them. I think my favourite so far is the message from a dude who sent his own picture (and I assume, the ID for their tg under it.) They are fine to make hundreds of accounts a day (if they need to) since it's relatively easy to do so...

I'm honestly not sure what more can be done against the spam, to be honest... Though I guess there COULD be ways to filter it out better, but I'm sure some would still fall through.

Hi everybody 

I'm new here, I created my profile and first gig yesterday and I'm no expert on the field. 

So from yesterday I am receiving 20 messages (and counting) but they are all scam! Is obvious they are because they write and wait like only 2 minutes for you to reply (which I do not) and always ask you to contact them outside Fiverr, which doesn't make sense (usually telegram).

 

But the thing is, how can I stop this messages? Is getting really annoying

The thing is you can't. Respond to them accordingly and then block/report.
