Recently ive experienced different buyer scams on fiverr, one buyer came to me and i did his first project he even gave me a 5 start, and he gave me a new job, i did according to his description after showing him he told me to add more functions then i told him he will pay more though the second job was suppose to be 1500$ but he paid half before i started the job but i trusted him because he gave me a project before, i agreed to do the additional job but immediately i showed him again he started requesting for cancellation. 

The second scammer did something similar after doing a job and showing him he immediately told me its not working i should cancel. 

The third scammer also after finsihing the job, he started ranting about how the job i did was a total disaster, but because of my two experience i made a video while doing his job but i never showed most important part, despite the video evidence fiverr decided to cancel the order after the buyer already gets what they want. 

I noticed and concluded that Fiverr only protects the buyers even if they are scammers, even if it clearly shows this buyer is scamming the seller, Fiver will never protect The sellers on the platform. 

I learnt from my lessons and i know what to do moving forward in order to protect this scam from happening to me again, if anyone has any tip for me ill gladly listen.
