Client whose account was made this month, reaches out to me via inbox. Sounds very professional(probably chatgpt generated), refers to one of my webcomic gigs and sends me an external link to some website, saying the project details are in the said link and i should check it out and let her know if i can handle it or not and provide me with any other options if possible.
 I go on the said link which has another link labled "project details" and looks like a google doc. I click on it, and it links to a website that has a youtube video on it in full screen mode and with a message displaying "click allow" or something like that. I dont click on anything there, because all this has been very suspicous to me from the start. 

This is a scam. But it made me wonder, what kind of links are allowed to send in the inbox and what aren't. I know that we aren't allowed to use fiverr to take business elsewhere.
 I told the client to send me the project requirements inside fiverr not outside. 

I'm new on fiverr, with no customers yet - so probably a ripe target for scammers. I'm still not all that sure how everything on fiverr works specially in the inbox and what to do and not to do. 

Potential client links to external most likely shady website in inbox. Is this a scam?
