Question
alannah_t
I am new to Fiverr. I created my account about 48 hours ago. In the past 24 hours, I have received about twelve messages, all from scammers, all asking the same thing: Can you give me your email so I can put the order through?
I did bite on the first one. They sent a screenshot of a fake Fiverr form with the logo and all, and I thought, well, my email is publicly visible on other websites so surely it's all right.
After I got another similar message (and then another, and another), I cottoned on and began reporting them.
I've changed my password and put on two-step verification. Is that about all I can do? I am reluctant to change my email, only because I already have several emails for different purposes and I do not want to have to keep track of another.
This is extremely frustrating. I haven't gotten a single legitimate message, but I have been inundated by these scammers requesting my email. Already my response rate has dropped from 100% because I deleted several of the messages immediately without responding to them or reporting them. I know I should have reported them all, but there were so many. If I do ever get a legitimate message it may well get buried under the chaff.
Fiverr could easily solve this problem by installing an AI-powered filter that checks messages for words relating to 'inbox' or 'email'.
