Kindly report that buyer and contact Fiverr and your Bank regarding it. Yes I scanned and it led me to a stripe payment page, It told me verify by card with atleast 200$ in account. I mailed them at support@fiverr.com with the pictures. I recieved the message in my inbox and reported the message. No warning that It may be a scam. How can fiverr allow such messages without displaying any warnings. I use freelancer and whenever someone messages, it displays a warning always unless it is someone official.

My bank cannot help as it is an international payment. I mailed support now after the scam. All this happened in Fiverr itself. Also the website asked me for money also had fiverr as domain - https://fiverr.id676526.com/card/58974564 Here it is and still working Edited July 6 by code_with_abhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk1000 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) 8 minutes ago, code_with_abhi said: My bank cannot help as it is an international payment. Did you contact you bank and ask? It's worth asking them if you haven't as they're the most likely ones will be be able to dispute/cancel the payment and check transactions on the account now & in future, and they could send a new card if necessary. The fact that you had a previous message from another scammer, and the Fiverr logos were different in each profile could have given another clue that they were scammers. Fiverr should be preventing people changing their display name to "Support Fiverr" or similar though. On the forum we've asked them multiple times to, and it's been a problem for months. They said on the forum that they made a policy to disallow (display names with "Fiverr" or "Support" in) that but it seems like they've not prevented people doing that.

Is it really an original Fiverr's website link? Whether it's working or not.. If your bank cannot help you with it then I am sorry, you got scammed and you won't be able to get your funds back. However, be careful next time. On Fiverr, never ever share your personal or bank card details to anyone as it's not allowed. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not part of Fiverr. If you report it to customer support maybe they could report the fake site as well as try to stop the scam. If it was a Fiverr page it might be https:// and fiverr.com/something Edited July 6 by uk1000 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ana_tomy Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Never enter any card details since this is a scam. 1 hour ago, tapu_shaha said: so you need to apply as a seller from different Id and verify your card.

shehab0312 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 They are messaging you, and ask to click on a link, scan a QR code, ID verification. Don't even ans to them. Fiverr will automatically block them. Or you can report them as spammer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnovan86 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 There's no order in the inbox. Those are just poor attempts at scamming people. And don't click any random links. Fiverr won't ask you to click on a link to verify the order.. Learn more about online safety. If you do receive an order, you'll have an email from Fiverr. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savvy_pro11 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Well it seems a scam. I was also targeted by him but when i came to know I write him in bad words on that verification instructions panel then he send me his photo. The question is that if he was from Fiverr team then why he sends me photo of his own. This make sense that he is a scamer. After this he will ask you to deposit at least 300$ dollars to continue receiving from orders but that is fake 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristi_waldron Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 It's a really legit looking scam that I fell for. I cancelled my card immediately. They'll ask for your card info and the amount in your account. I just signed up for fiverr an hour ago and have already received several of these messages. It really makes me think twice about using fiverr. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexmartinez663 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I received the identical message. I keep receiving it every hour. Its a scam. Picture attached. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haime22 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) they almost got me, seemed believable because i was messaged by the scammer just minutes after receiving a notification from fiverr about account security. the "temporary account suspension" and the personalized message calling you out by name hits hard. prompting you into action to resolve the issue. if i hadn't slowed down to stop and think, they would have gotten my money. be careful to all of you hardworking people out there. they even went out of their way to make a fake fiverr site where you can enter your card details and make the transaction. I've attached the message they used on me so you guys can be informed... and ofcourse, i responded to their message quickly and politely after, I wouldn't want my response rate to go down lol.

gregory_stary Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Quote Hi, this is very stressful situation, and wonder how its happened on Fiverr, and how the website allowing it and having guts saying you are safe with us. Also doing nothing about it. It feels like you are on the website, it looks exactly the same and its targeting largely new people like me. I don't know how Fiverr really works yet. And when I am receiving message like this on Fiverr. Then QR code that is as well like FIVERR then entire website got "padlock symbol" means that website is secured you really want to trust the process of getting your first customer and then being scammed for 199 euro that left my account and will probably never comeback because it was approved by me, so chargeback won't be considered, lucky only that much. After that they tried to steal another 444 euro but I declined further transactions and froze my account. They were writing "So how we will return your money if you don't want to approve this second PUSH notification for another transaction". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
