I just set up 3 new gigs and now im confused ...

[magzdigi]

Being a recent victim of a crypto scam, in super cautious about giving out my credit card info.  After I set up my gigs, I received a message from soeone with a barcode which took me to a place that asked for my credit card info.  I did not comply. Then another person sent me a message saying that they tried to purchase my gig twice, but it needed an emil address. I tried to send them my email, but Fiverr blocked it, which i guess makes sensem but it leaves me wondering if im supposed to input my email address somewhere ? .  Were these people scammers or do I actually have to input my credit card info somewhere. And if so ?  WHY ?  Some clarification would be great.  Us newbies can never be too careful.

Thank you so much in advance.

Yeah, that bar code is exactly what I got. PHEW.  So glad I asked.  So that means I really dont have to do anything other than report these people. So sad that one can't even feel safe in a work forum. I appreciate it.  Thanks for your help priyank_mod and nionkhan2020  for your speedy replies.  Im glad I asked.  look forward to learning from this community how to succeed as a seller 🤗 and im excited to dive into the content of this forum. If you guys have any other links that are great for newbies, I would love that..  Thanks in advance.
