Scam PayPal?

[daria_ashurova]

Hi, I've got such a message from a new client, with the link to PayPal about the paid order with a request to share my bankdetails. I don't see anything on my dashboard. Is it scam?

It's a a scam. they've sent you a scam QR code. Report the message and don't scan it. Don't share any bank details.

If you get an order it will show on your dashboard and you might get an email notification about it if you've set those up.

Ideally Fiverr could detect those QR code images and then flag them, the code should be quite simple for them, but they haven't added that check, but doing that should help prevent a lot of the QR code scams.

It does say at the top of that screen "keep all payments and communication on Fiverr" (and it's the buyer that would pay anyway) and "avoid sharing personal information" and "be cautious of links".
