Hii, I have just started my fiverr account about a month ago, and just 20 minutes ago i received a order msg, there was no gig added there but a link was there i thought that link would be there for a reason or related to my gig, but that link was for my bank account verification, because i was new i didn't know what is fiverr process to confirm fist order i clicked on that link and did some process like entered my card details but when they asked me for a OTP i was shocked and quickly searched about that website and other fiverr security details which does not require any OTP and deep details, than i just closed that website without any verification, it was a scam and luckily i didn't trapped,

be safe guys specially new sellers because we are the target of them,
have anyone experienced this before?

Good day!
Been on fiverr only for 2 weeks, just had my first message from someone who claims he wants to place an order on one of my gigs. The problem is that he says he cannot checkout because the platform is asking him to "ask the seller for his email", he even sent me a screenshot of his checkout order ready to be paid but missing my email in the last box to fill. Which is weird that fiverr needs the buyer to ask the seller directly for his email before checkout. I have not replied the message, but i'm pretty sure is a scam.
Has anyone had a similar experience?

I too have just received a message from this user:
 

We are looking for a freelancer to help us with content retyping and document creation. The main responsibility will be to retype content and create documents based on provided templates. This role requires attention to detail and accuracy in order to ensure all information is inputted correctly.

Good thing I checked this forum. I told the person that they were violating Fiverr's terms of service and told them that if they were legit, to have their senior manager reach me via Fiverr.
