It's a scam message. Don't paste any links into the browser if it tries to pretend there's an order like that.

All valid orders will show on your real Fiverr dashboard.

Report all users who tell you an order has been placed and ask you to paste a link into your browser to see it.

If you pasted the link it would probably take you to a fake page where it will ask for your payment info to try to "get funds". That's not how real Fiverr orders work. Any "get funds" option to work on an order is a scam. Don't paste the link in your browser as it could be unsafe and would just be a scam site's page. Also don't scan any QR codes users send to the inbox.

Since it's from a user with an account dated 2022 (quite a while ago) it might be that that user's account is hacked. Though it's a buyer only account with only 1 review.

thank you for the valuable information.

Hey, Dear, a few days ago, I got a message in my Fiverr inbox. He asked me to accept his order request, but when I clicked on the Fiverr order link, I saw he had already paid 50 Dollars. But I Couldn't Receive the Money Because I didn't have a Payment Verification on Fiverr. I don't know if it's real or Fake. Please let me know if you know about this Message. Thanks in Advance.

It's definitely a scam. I've had a similar experience as well. Fiverr will automatically shut down any suspicious activity, so it’s crucial to stay vigilant. Always accept official "Orders" where the client has already paid for your services. And as @filipdevaere mentioned above, be sure to report and block any suspicious messages. Stay safe!

Scams for new seller? I get three sudden orders last night and the clients all require my email in chat, then I receive couple alike Fiverr email say client already pay the order just wait for my card verification.

Hi, I'm a new seller and just come for last week. I open really low price animate headshot commissions ($5) for practice my drawing. There is a customer pop up last night say they really like the work and already paid for it, ask for my email address. I never got any order before so I don't know what is the real process, so I click on the Fiverr-like email that send to my inbox. The website ask my for card information and bank balance ( they even show up the paypal and google pay option but can't choose lol). I was too exciting for my first order and didn't raise that on alert. Then I try many times for the verification for my two banks but didn't work out. I keep received the scam warning text from my two bank said I doing payments at rbxgold something. The customer support on website say my bank probably block the system because their company on European not American (What an obvious scam reminder). In next two hour, another two clients using similar asking me the email and very "enthusiastic" about help my go through the verification. I feel guilty for not accepting their orders and didn't reply in chat. After I wake up I start to realize that they are frauds in a big chance.......Luckily my banks all block them and I didn't lose money for hundred of dollars, but also feel sad about I the fact I never have a really customer so far LOL.

Don't give your card details.

Report the buyer and block him.

Hello, today I got a message from Fiverr. She asked me my email and send me an email saying: I'm waiting for your confirm. I didn't know that I shouldn't give my email so, I clicked on that button then I saw a new page, filled with card details that I need to enter. I was like: huh? then I closed the site and block her. I hope I didn't get any virus. I clicked that button when I was on phone. But still I didn't fill my card details.llla.PNG.b05ef9c74aaf2ed040a349ce87a872ee.PNG

Guys, i received the same scam and I almost got scammed and I gave my card details and my card had very low balance, they said they need 300 Euros in my account to verify it, but I had below 5 Euros, and I also gave my mothers card which has 30 Euros, but they didn't take anything like there was no money in it, and tell me what should I do now, should I block my mothers and my debit card or what should I do, and beware, this forum helped me realise this scam, 

I was approached by another scammer just 2 hours before, now I reported him as a scam.

Thanks Guys for creating awareness on this topic.
