A somewhat odd and suspicious request


Recommended Posts

I recently received an odd, suspicious request from a buyer that has apparently been on Fiverr since November 2023; profile states he is from "United States". I have reported the user.

Unlike other scammers from which I receive messages, this is not a brand new account created within the past couple of months. However, several red flags are evident from this request:

(message was sent to me split into 6 individual messages, to my Fiverr e-mail account)

"Do you think you can deliver an order by" ---> but then lists no specific date

Numerous grammatical and spelling errors:

HI How are you I hope you will be Fine  I will Promote your gigs on Social media Are you interested

Do you want to promote your gigs on social media ?

I will promote your gigs on social media platforms and biggest groups like UK Canada USA

I have done succefully 123+ Order ->  There is no evidence of this at all from the profile name of the user who contacted me; also the "123+" reference is suspicious

https://www.fiverr.com/s/klLv4w that is my gig link  -> This gig link is for a completely different user -- not even remotely close to the user name that contacted me

You can see my profile and check the reviews of my happy clients -> no such evidence of this from the user account that contacted me

Probably has more than one account, so it could be their gig.

Definitely a scammer, violating Fiverr's ToS.
