New scam attempt (sophisticated)

[wackymons]

Hi all,

I'm new here. I just received a screenshot with a QR code from a buyer through my Fiverr inbox. The screenshot showed that he purchased my services, but I didn't receive any notification or email from the platform. I'm not very sure about the process. Is this the correct procedure, or should I consider this a scam? Please help me! Thank you!

So I received these messages right after I published my Gigs. I wanna ask are they even real? When I pressed on one of the link they redirect me to a funding page or something. If anyone knows about this please tell me Thank you so much!

And then they blocked me when I didnt do as they said 😞

But should I reply to them or accept their offers? Are they real people wanting my service?

Is this a scam??
i am pretty sure it is please do let me know

It looks like they've changed the display name to "Heip Center" (letter i instead of letter L for help - though the dot above it is lower height than the one shown for the username). Maybe it's just the different font Fiverr user - unless the user has somehow put a different non-standard character in the display name field.

There's a scam going around targeting new Fiverr users. They're using a fake website to trick people into entering credit card info to 'receive payments.' Always verify transactions directly on the official Fiverr platform to stay safe.

It's definitely a scam. Avoid these types of messages and report the user to Fiverr. Always remember that Fiverr doesn't contact users via the inbox.

Fiverr Support texting you for bank details? Is this genuine or not? 

Within an hour of creating an account I received these many message requests, and now they all send an image with QR code in it stating it's from Fiverr.
Can Fiverr at least place a ban on "Support Fiverr" Username, because the link after scanning the QR code is also "fiverr.[random no.].com".

This is disgusting as I speak, I just wanted to open up my work space on contract basis because there weren't any openings for product Designers out there for 3 years experience guys. And now these things keep happening. Every other message that I received is related to this scam. And I'm telling you it's hard to identify the links too.

Yours Sincerely

Yonko (K Deshmukh)

Here it comes, how many should I block?

Ayyyye shhhhhhh huuuuh, seriously? I'm leaving Fiverr, it's more of a disappointment now.
They are changing locations to contact me, I keep blocking them, they start approaching me with the same stuff.

It seems you are on spam attack. Hope Fiverr's robot will detect and delete or band the spammers account and hope you will receive a message like this:
SPAMMERS ACCOUNT NAME can no longer be contacted. This will not affect your response rate.

So, don't get panic, Fiverr will take care of it.

Hi! I'm new to Fiverr and just got this message, Is this Legit or a Scam? After I click the link it redirected me to Fiverr (2nd photo) where I need to enter my bank details and they ask for an OTP and they need my Bank Account Balance

It's a scam. They've been blocked too.

Though it says "fiverr." at the start of the url, the site it redirects to is actually "id<a number>".com so it's not part of Fiverr. id<their number> is a scam site. Fiverr URLs start with "fiverr.com".

Fiverr doesn't message people in the inbox to ask for their bank/card info.

You can also see the scammer's logo looks quite different to the logo of the real Fiverr (that said they were no longer contactable).
