Hi @siedibarra,

All of them are scams and the few that have given screenshots are from fiber notifications.

These are all scams and we should beware of them.  Types of scams should be known.  There are many topics about this in fiber forum, read them to get an idea about this type of scam.

And such links or QR code should never be scanned or clicked.  And fiber usually automatically detects them and neutralizes or blocks them. Such scams will never impact the response rating.  Such notifications or mails will usually come from Fiber.

So nothing to worry be careful, happy freelancing 😊

Thanks
Nion

Subject: How to Report of Suspicious QR Code Message

dear Fiverr community.

 I am writing to report a suspicious message I received on my Fiverr account today. The message contained a QR code and claimed to be from Fiverr, asking me to scan the QR code to verify my account due to an enhanced security verification process.

The message details are as follows:

• Username of the sender: @theresasmith712
• Message content: The message instructed me to scan a QR code and access the link provided for further instructions to restore account operation and resume receiving orders.

I suspect this message to be a scam attempt as I am aware of potential fraudulent activities on the platform. I have not interacted with the message or the QR code .

Attached is a screenshot of the message for your reference.

Could you guys please advise on the next steps and any actions I should take to protect my account?

Thank you 

Best regards,

Syed Fahad Ali Shah

If you want to report it there's 3 dots on the top right of a message in the Fiverr inbox that you can press which will them have options for report and spam. You could use either of those.

If you want to contact the help desk about it it's at: https://www.fiverr.com/support_tickets/

If you've not clicked on any links or scanned the QR code there's nothing you need to do to protect your account. If you wanted you could set up 2 factor authentication for extra account protection if you haven't already (in settings->security).

Would a potential customer contact you through the message box?

 

[priyank_mod]

Yes, alot of them text the seller first to discuss their requirements, deliverables and pricing. 

But these days usual modus operandi of SCAMMERS is also to slide in telling that, they need your email address/ask you to provide card details or scan a QR code. Beware of them. 

[grant_lopez]

Hi. Thanks for that. I got scammed like that a while ago, so I am a bit nervous when getting a message. I will definatley keep my eye out for that. Once again thanks for your advice

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:

[lasabro]

Telegram group and Qr cord scan. 

Be careful with these.

See attachment.

Yes before place an order buyer should be contact with seller for requirement, delivery time and also pricing

I have received a message from a client for payment through QR Code. Is it a Scam?

Please help. I received an image instructing me to scan a code to receive payment. Unaware of any potential risks, I scanned it and was directed to a page resembling Fiverr, which then asked for my card information. After entering it, I was taken to a chat page that requested my card details again. I mentioned that I had already provided them on the desktop and suggested using PayPal instead. However, the site insisted on using my card, so I did not proceed.

As I'm new to the site, can someone explain how I should properly receive orders?

it's a scam bro i have also received a message like it but instead of scanning I reported it.  

[donnovan86]

Fiverr will never ask you to use a QR code to send money. That seems very scammy and it is indeed a scam. 

[collinsconsult]

It's a scam. Don't fall for it. Report and block ASAP. 

[adv_cidra]

Good thing you didn’t give your card details again. When using Fiverr, always stick to their official site for everything, including payments. If something seems off, reach out to Fiverr support. Keep an eye on your bank account just in case, and maybe change your passwords to be safe. Stay safe! 🌟

It's a scam!
Do NOT scan that QR code. Report their messages and send all the screenshots to Customer Support.

[pure_creatives]

It's a scam, be aware of them. I also received this message multiple times.

[nionkhan2020]

It's a scam. You can report the user by contacting our Customer Support or emailing support@fiverr.com with a screenshot. Here’s an easy way to report:

Hover your mouse over the message area, and you’ll see three dots in the top right corner. Click on them, and a pop-up box will appear, as shown in the red-marked area.

Hello, I have recently relaunch my activity on Fiverr and today I have received a very strange order : only a MP with a QR code who should have give me all the informations that I needed but it's only a link to an order. I have no clue how to ask for more information because for an unknown reason, I could not contact the buyer anymore in the conversation : "pseudoname" can no longer be contacted. This will not affect your response rate.

What should I do ? Should I accept the Gig even without basic information ? Will I have a chance to discuss with the buyer after to get a better idea of what he is in need ? I added questions on the gig to get more informations but I havent received them with this order. 😵‍💫 In my gut, I feel that there is a problem. That's why I'm here.

[priyank_mod]

It was a fake order from a scamster. Do not click on anything or scan any QR code. 

Fiverr has already blocked the profile of sender.
