I want to share my personal experience to help others avoid the same mistake. I recently started on Fiverr because Im not doing well financially, and I was really excited because I had a sale. I was happy and trusting, but unfortunately, things went wrong.

When I entered my payment details, what I thought was a trustworthy platform ended up scamming me. Instead of receiving payment for my work, they took 200 euros from my account, and the situation has been a nightmare.

Right now, Im waiting for Simplex, the company holding my money, to not claim it. That amount is very important to me right now, and the feeling of being scammed is horrible.

What I want to say with this is: be very careful! Always double-check the websites where you enter your personal and banking details. It may seem obvious, but when you are just starting out and need the money, you sometimes trust too easily.

My recommendation is to always be cautious when sharing sensitive information. Online fraud is on the rise, and its important to stay alert.

Thank you for reading, and I hope my experience serves as a warning to prevent others from falling into the same trap.

I was scammed!
