fiverr spam messages

[angelazdr]

Can anyone explain to me what is the point of the spam messages that constantly arrive in my inbox, each of them offers a job, but only if you contact them via telegram? what is their goal?

Simply report and block it. We can't predict the intention of spammers

Ignore this kind of buyers. report and block them.

Easy, their intention is to make you break Fiverr ToS by contacting them outside the platform and then scan you.

As said above, block and report.

Your money, what else...

They'll try to make you pay some "small" amount as a "safety deposit" or "fee" or whatever, with the promise of big jobs to come (they won't).

In addition, if you actually reply to them off-Fiverr, you're in violation of Fiverr's terms of use and open yourself up to potential blackmailing tries.

To get you to work for free (you do the work, they never actually pay you, and since they got you to violate Fiverr's Terms of Service, you can't complain, either).

To take your money (they want you to pay them to work for them).

In some cases, it could be identity theft.

Either way, their goal is nothing good.
