I was scammed yesterday

[jerryc1200]

Hello guys! I want to share this terrible experience I went through yesterday Nov 27th. This is to alert everyone here.

I'm an English tutor, I've just registered myself yest. A couple of hours after my registration, "Christophert759" asked my E-mail to be able to continue with the payment process, this was too good to be true, well I gave to him (great mistake), then, I got an E-mail from "FIVER" that congratulate me for my fisrt learner and had a green button to link me to the payment page, of course,it was a fake one, surprisingly quite similar to the real one. I entered my bank account data and then asked me to type my balance, it's weird I thought but I never imagined it was a fake site.   I did everything through a chat box, I remember they said my balance wasn't enough for the operation so they asked me to top up to 200 euros, I managed to get the money and finally, they sent me a MSN to confirm my data, this link open my bank account to type my confirmation code, I did so and surprise, my 200 euros dissapeared, they stoppedresponding me on the chat box, this is when I realized I had been scammed when I remember I opened an axternal link. Fortunately, the bank charge was still on "pending movement", so I rushed to the bank and I cancelled the transfer, I will hopefully get over my money in a few days. A few hours later, I received a couple of messages more from unverified profiles, now, the three users who contacted me are shown as not available users, It seems they blocked me or disable the account. The fake site the scammers used was disabled too. I'm using this forum 'cause I didn't find the way to contact the support team and report this issue, just a bot that didn't solve anything. I took pictures to prove this fortunately. I think FIVERR team should be more strict when users logged up. It's hard to trust now.

You did violate Fiverr's TOS by giving your email.

Yes, it wasn't my intention honestly, later on, checking on the policies I realized I did so, this is because they sent me an E-mail with the same logo and name and I'm a newbie on the platform and the scammers took adantage of this, greetings

It happened to me as well. The scammer inboxed me and told me to give him the email. But when I reply fiverr doesn't allow that. After this reply, he didn't have any messages. It was my first messeage on Fiverr; unfortunately, he was a fake buyer.

I appreciate your comment on my case. You were lucky that Fiverr blocked the scam. There's a lot of scammers here, let's be careful and take a look on the profile first

Should be more careful from now on and never share your email address.

A few days ago, the same situation happened to me, but I didn't give my email. I did say I wouldn't because it was against Fiverr's policy. 

After a few days, Fiverr blocked him.
