I wasn't going to visit an outside link. In future, I'll just say no. But that was the first time I was asked that, and I wasn't prepared. I did immediately sense that they were spamming, but after the fact, I thought that just maybe they were legit. That thought didn't last long. I tried the link, and it was as if Fiverr knew it was spam. It had been blocked.
Later, for the heck of it, I tried the link outside of Fiverr. It opened, and it was a sales site. While the spammer/buyer was telling me they wanted someone to write multiple pages and that I should refer to the site for examples, all that was there was a set of articles about how to buy insurance. There were no other pages. Furthermore, he quoted far more than anyone would offer a person without feedback. Hence, certainly a spammer. I didn't notice their quote earlier, or I'd not have entertained the notion that they might be legit.
To clarify, what I am asking is if you go to sites. In future, I will make it clear that I will not do that, period.
