gavin_cjm Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Hey everyone, Just a heads up about a freelancer (******) you might want to be cautious with. He might suggest dealing outside of Fiverr and ask you to approve contract payment with promises of quick delivery. We contacted through discord where his username is (******). He outsource the project using upwork for the website using WordPress and hosted it on his local server. However, when I asked them to transfer ownership to my hosting, he vanished, and I haven't heard from him since. Be careful when working with freelancers who push for transactions outside of the platform. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhallvo Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 It's against ToS to communicate outside of Fiverr. Never agree to someone suggesting you do that - even if you don't end up getting scammed, your Fiverr account will most likely get banned. It's also against forum rules to post buyer/seller names. You're better off just reporting that person to Fiverr Support, given that they broke ToS when they suggested conducting business outside of Fiverr. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin_cjm Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 Hello mhallvo, Well, I was ready to make a payment, but the freelancer sent me an invoice through my email from Upwork instead of Fiverr. He suggested a lower price because the commission on Upwork is supposedly lower, and I agreed, considering Upwork is another freelancing platform. However, I've come to realize that this freelancer is violating the rules of both platforms. He also insisting on receiving payment before delivering the project, even after I've already made the initial payment. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueinarts Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Hi @gavin_cjm I had a buyer like this who asked me to pay outside but I managed to get him to stay to pay me on Fiverr because it's the best secure freelance platform. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
