Spam messages

[Guest ikimisteves_]

Am I the only one who receives spam messages from people using weird usernames? I have noticed that some of them are from Nigeria. Does this happen to everyone?

It's been three years since I've been working on Fiverr. It's crucial to assess client behavior, as it can prevent financial loss and maintain your gig ranking. Clients often request samples or general information. Scammers can be found everywhere. If you have even a 5% doubt about a client, it's best not to work with them. 

Let me tell you a story: Last month, a client placed an order. Her behavior seemed suspicious, so I declined. However, she proceeded to place the order directly. I completed the work brilliantly, and she accepted it. I started to trust her. Then, she requested five ebook orders with a total price of $800. When I delivered the work this time, she canceled the order, blocked me without explanation, and pretended to be by mistake. 

Days later, she returned, claiming ignorance about the canceled order and the block. I asked her to reinstate the order to compensate for my significant loss, but she hasn't responded since. Since then, my gig has suffered a significant drop in ranking.

@ana_tomy Fiverr needs to support honest sellers. Fiverr is my main source of income. This client's behavior has deeply affected me.

I also receive spam messages asking me to write to their Telegram accounts. Why doesn't Fiverr put better anti-spam filters?

Everyone gets spam messages more or less but spammer mainly target the newbie seller.
