1 markovojvodic Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 Update: Just got another scam offer They are sending PDFs with the link to download files, or Google drive link. Don't! Simply don't! Always ask them to send text within the message and images/videos to send one by one attached in the message, never accept zip files. RED FLAGS: NEW FIVERR ACCOUNT FROM NOV 2022 OR CLOSE Usually they will say they want a big order, and they want to work long term, they will pay even more, anything to make you bite. They are saying that they work for the well established company showing you website and FB page with a lot of followers. 25 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Olyasr, I didn't have my antivirus on, which is a terrible mistake by me. Now I do have Avast and Malwarebytes, and also I am using Google authenticator app to protect all my Gmail and Facebook accounts by 2 factor identification. Hopefully this will help other sellers to protect themselves! 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 markovojvodic Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 Update: Protect yourself by installing trustworthy protection software The best antivirus for 2022 is Bitdefender, you can get a free version on their website, as well as many other free tools to protect your web browsing and home network. If you prefer other antivirus that's alright You can try running one and then another for extra security. They exclude each other, though, so you can have only one installed. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 olyasr Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 So, basically, if you use 2 factor Authentication, this should protect your data, right? 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 markovojvodic Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 I am not sure what they are capable of, so not sure if anything can 100% protect us, but if you use Google Authenticator app, they won't be able to reset your password because there will be a prompt asking for the code from the App You can use it for any email address or social media account 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 markovojvodic Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 You are welcome Gomesanik! The experience was really bad, and that's why I wanted to let everybody know what are the red flags and to be very careful when they get any kind of file from someone who just opened a Fiverr account. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, you can protect it by using Google Authenticator App for you Email Address or Facebook profile, that you used to sign up on Fiverr. How it works: • You download Google Authenticator App • Then you go to your Email or Facebook settings and turn on Two factor identification and choose Authenticator app as an option. • You will see a QR code • Open your Google Authenticator App • Tap on plus button to open a camera scanner • Simply scan the QR code and that's it Now when somebody tries to login into your account, he will be asked to enter the code but now only you have the code in your app. I hope it helps You can search on Youtube to see how it works, if this was not clear enough :) 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
