0 Zahid I. Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 First of all, generally, having conversation with a buyer outside of Fiverr communication toll (Fiverr Platform message) is prohibited. So, avoid contacting buyers outside of Fiverr. And the work details you shared, most people reported this is actually a scam! Stay aware of this kind of proposals. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 johnpaulbalanza Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 Thank you sir Seven. I was just curious because I have been receiving messages like this when I first published my gig, a few days ago. I was almost tempted to accept their job offers because of their too good to be true offered payment for a simple task but knowing that they do not want to transact in the Fiverr platform, it sounds suspicious to me and I decline the job offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 puspojit_biswas Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I believe that it's a planned scam. The only intention of that person is to lure you to join in telegram with him and make a conversation out of Fiverr. Having a conversation outside of Fiverr is strictly against Fiverr TOS. I would like to just report and block them immediately. When we are on the internet not only on this platform, we have to be very careful about them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
