is it okay to share scammers usernames? because someone just tricked me with faking an order

[fadhelsukadonat]

so someone just suddenly messaged me with an image of payment proof. turns out it is a scam but thank goodness I'm so broke they cant get anything out of it.

I want to share their username in public because they are an old member of Fiverr. I want people to be careful.

You could share the message without the username I think. Blanking out any other info that migh be necessary.

The forum rules say:

Quote

Use of respectful language is mandatory. Profanity, offensive language, s****l remarks, personal attacks, or negative callouts towards other members are strictly forbidden.

Though the rules also say:

Quote

Sharing content from private messages on the public forum is prohibited.

but it it's sharing an image or something from something that's definitely a scam, to warn people about it I assume it should be okay (with necessary things blanked out).

If it's a member on Fiverr that's been here a long time and has a lot of reviews then it's likely their account has been compromised.

You could/should report the the message using Fiverr's report option on the main site, or report it to customer support. Doing that will help other people being scammed.

Hi there! The best way to help protect other users from scammers on the platform is to report them. You can also share their username with Customer Support if you would like.
