Question

Hello. I am new here and I have a question. I received a message in my inbox from a user called "F. Agent" with a pic attached that says I need to verify by scanning a QR code. Is it real? Thanks!

It's fake. It's a scam. Fiverr doesn't send sellers QR codes to scan through the Fiverr inbox.

It would go to some other site where they'll try to scam (eg. try to get you to enter your bank card info or something). You can click the report option on the message (the 3 dots on the top left of the message will give the menu with the report option).

You could also check this page for detecting scams:

Variant B,

'Fiverr' (aka the scammers) will contact you in your inbox with an image with a QR code to scan. From what I've seen, this will take you to a site to verify your card details (just like above) and will steal from you once again!

The first thing to remember is that Fiverr Support does NOT exist in your inbox. They will NOT contact you (especially not by an unverified new account) there. 

Ignore them.
