Fake Buyer & Inbox Response Rate

[designcore69]

What should I do when a fake buyer messages me? I have blocked him without giving any reply. Now I am seeing my inbox response rate going down. What should I do Now ? What is the actual steps I need to take in this type of situation?

Always respond to the message even if it's spam. After responding to the message, block them.

At first, How did you identify a buyer who is fake without talking?

You have to talk politely and when you understand he/she is a fake buyer then you have to convince him/her that you are busy and aren't able to start a new job.

I think if you follow the rules then your response rate doesn't affect.

Okay, and sorry for what? Why does a seller need to apologize to a fake buyer?

Just reply to them and say you are not interested in continuing the work.

First reply to the message, then if you see it is a fake buyer then you should block it

Wrong Think:
At First you need to reply the message, then if you see it is a fake buyer then you could block it.

Block them asap

You cannot tell whether a buyer is a red or not without communicating. Have conversation with the buyer, and if you feel like he's asking for something that violates Fiverr's TOS, or trying to do any kind of scam, you can block them and report them to Fiverr.

Thank you all for your precious  suggestions.

You need to make a reply. After this, you can take any action.

First, you need to confirm that the buyer is a fake buyer. Then you give a short reply. Given reply is important for your inbox response rate. Then you can block the fake buyer.
