By the way,

Is it normal for newcomers to have so many Phishing messages just after starting in Fiverr?

I got 10 in less than 24 hours...

It's been 'normal' for a few months. Highly undesired, and Fiverr is working on the problem, but yeah, for the time being we're ALL having to deal with those.

Report and block. It's about the only thing we can do for now, but the Fiverr staff have emphasized that it helps them on the backend.

Thanks! I've been reporting each one of those. But usually in less than 24h they are banned.

But the first 4-5 of these posts I was actually happy to see the notifications. Now I'm just bored when I hear a fiverr notification. And that is a big problem in user experience for starters in the platform.

Hope the Fiverr staff finds a solution. I've been dealing problems like this as a programmer in the past in some of my high-end clients and it's always a whack-a-mole game every few iterations... Hope they solve it soon!

Thanks for the feedback!
