Scammed

[maria_savescu85]

I bought a gig (https://www.fiverr.com/fragglesrock



from this user https://www.fiverr.com/fragglesrock



He never delivered anything, he has just set the order to completed and stopped responding.

I requested a refund which he declined.



This is all the discussions that I had with him:

And this:

Reading through the reviews on the gig’s page I can see that I am not the only one that got scammed by this user.



My question is why doesn’t fiverr provide a better protection against this kind of scams?



I don’t care about the 5$ that he scammed me for, but this has definitely impacted my view of doing business on this platform in a negative way.



Thanks.



SHERRIFF’S NOTE: Please do not call out users on the forums, It’s against the Fiverr TOS. Contacting the CS team, as you did, is the correct way to handle these types of situations. Thanks.

Just cancel the gig or reject his delivery.

He can’t “Scam” you unless you let him. He can’t deliver the gig unless you accept it.



If he rejects the cancel just cancel again.



And contact support.



But you are not scammed… unless you let yourself be.

Yes, thank you. I contacted customer support and they cancelled the order and refunded the money.

I admire the fact that you use Linux. 🙂

Reply to @matrixdevuk: What’s so unusual about using Linux? 🙂

Maria, I am feel sorry for You. I hope You dont think now, all Fiverr sellers proceed like that.

That guy should be banned or something… I hope at least Fiverr will not remove Your feedback.



Toate cele bune,
