Buyer wants to pay on Fiverr but wants to share details through other channel

[payal11063105]

Hello everyone,
1 buyer approached me and said that the quantity of work is very big and unable to share on Fiverr. So, he is asking me some othet channel for sharing the work. I asked him to share the work in parts. But he is saying that he wants to make the offer in one go and payments will be done through Fiverr only. 

Please guide me is this a spam or genuine buyer?

Doesn't matter if it's spam or a genuine buyer, just avoid contacting outside the platform for two reasons:

1. It's completely against the Terms of Service.
2. If you're chatting outside the platform, no matter if you have completed the work, the buyer can ask for a cancellation and refund by claiming that you have not worked as per their instructions. You will not have any proof to show to Customer Support (as chats outside the platform won't be considered in your favor). You will end up losing your order money, work efforts, time, and most probably, your account as well.

Instead, either ask your buyer to send the details through a PDF, recorded video --- or have a Zoom meeting. If the buyer still insists on contacting outside the platform, use the block button and move on. They probably just want to mess with you and your account, which is a big red flag.
