Am I the only one getting a bunch of spam messages from Nigerian accounts created this month?

I'm getting a whole bunch of spam messages from accounts created just this month trying to connect on stuff like telegram or email. It keeps sending me notifications about it. Is anyone else experiencing this?

No, I don't. In fact, I've never got spam messages. 

But it won't be surprising since spam is very common on this platform. You may want to answer briefly (say "no", for example) and block them, just in case their messages affect your response rate.

They're bots. One may think they're targeting new users, but what they're really targeting are new gigs. Annoying! 😡

No I also receive millions of spam messages from spammers around the world especially Nigerians. Ignore them because fiverr blocks them within seconds so enjoy!
