Beware of Fake Fiverr Messages: A Phishing Attempt I Received Today

[startalent2024]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share an experience I recently had with a phishing message. The message pretended to be from Fiverr, but it was actually a scam.

 

Here is the message:

 

When I opened the link, I saw the following page:

 

 

 

And after I clicked on the Verify button, I saw this:

 

 

Here are some tips to help you identify phishing messages:

1. Check the URL of the website - in this case, the URL was fiverr.service-verificate.com, while Fiverr's URL is fiverr.com.

2. These types of messages from Fiverr often come as notifications not messages.

3. Check the status of your account or service - in my case, my gig status was still active.

4. Be wary of messages that ask you to take action within a certain time frame - in this case, the message said I needed to act within 24 hours.

5. Be cautious when asked to provide unnecessary information.

 

Fortunately, Fiverr was able to block the user who sent me the message shortly after. But it's important to be vigilant against phishing scams, as scammers are always finding new ways to deceive people.

Thank you for reading and please share any similar experiences or tips to prevent falling for scams.

I had this and unfortunately i did fall for it, I searched online at different ways scammers would attempt to get information out of someone however it was only after that i saw this thread, I feel really stupid about it.

This has happened to me several times. They often target new sellers. New sellers are more likely to get scammed because they remain vigilant until they receive an order. one of example is here.

I recently received a message from the Fiverr username @sabanditos, claiming that they have already paid the amount. However, they want me to receive payment by deceiving me through a phishing attack. Scammers often target new sellers who may not be familiar with the platform, attempting to trick them. Below are the proofs:

Do NOT scan that QR code. Report their messages and send all the screenshots to Customer Support.
