Seller sent me a google meet

[liz_macdonald]

I'm a new buyer and without an offer, sent me a google meet and asked for my email. Is this out of the rules for fiverr?

Yes, scammers will try and do "business" outside of Fiverr. If someone states they want to do something outside of Fiverr, block and report hem.

I don’t think these are always scammers. I’ve had buyers just innocently trying to help by setting up a call. I have a ready-made response to this, which has helped me a lot in the past.

“Thank you for offering to set up a call. I appreciate the offer. However, Fiverr requires all communications to go through them. Using services like zoom or Google meet is against the terms of service 

Luckily there is a Fiverr zoom integration, which we can use.

The call will be automatically recorded and accessible, upon its conclusion.

In case you’d like to find out more, here’s a link to Fiverr’s documentation regarding the zoom call feature – https://help.fiverr.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011062838-Video-calls-Zoom-calls-“

Hope this helps.
