Job request through chat? is it a scam?

[mf2693]

I was contacted through message on Fiverr that I was paid for a gig, and asked if I received payment (they gave me job# and buyers name[2nd person], different from the person messaging[1st person]). I assured that the job request had been submitted. I was sent files through messaging by person 1 to do work for their client, person 2. The job still is incomplete because buyer (person 2) never sent anything for job. I feel I have been scammed, anyone ever have anything done to them like this?

Maybe they’re clueless about how Fiverr works.



You can tell person 1 that you can’t start working until person 2 sends the instructions through the gig page, because otherwise you simply have no means of delivering the work.
