I know whatsapp and telephone number are not allowed on Fiverr and I didn't share anything, rather I refused! But I can't understand why accounts marked as "Fiverr business" ("business clients can offer ongoing work and big projects") ask telephone number or they still try to break the rules (in my case to give me training and further details claiming also to be foundamental to that prokect/work). I thought that this "type" of accounts was "more controlled" or "more respectful" of the rules. I am disappointed.

Last I knew, "Fiverr Business" was offering one free year. Meaning no barrier-to-entry. Meaning anyone can join. Hopefully the scammers will vanish once the paywall is working.

For now, all you can do is keep reporting and blocking the accounts that break the Fiverr ToS.

Once, one of my regular customers found me on Social Media - I have no idea how)))

He keeps placing orders through Fiverr, and everything goes great, BUT he always text me on Social Media first with a question - Are you available now? 😆 And only after that texts me on Fiver

The same thing happened to me. I had some satisfied buyers and I didn't find it strange if they ask about my Instagram. Some ended up DM me the details of their new projects and even revision request, to which I responded by directing them to Fiverr if they want to discuss business-related matters. I guess I didn't think it through when giving my Instagram. I decided to never give away my Instagram to any buyer since then, even to the regulars.
