Fraudulent message alert

[david388]

Just had the laugh of my day - received a message from someone who purports to be “dying” as a result of heart surgery he had last November, and magically wants to donate to YOU 3 million dollars. Unfortunately for him, in my non-Fiverr, “other” job, I’m actually a doctor and run a cardiac surgery intensive care unit a few nights a week - his line of reasoning is clear fabrication and obvious fraud.



Be on the lookout for people like this and other copycats! But to be honest, no medical training is necessary to sniff out this BS 🙂

Got it too, clicked on the Report button. That one is handing out his email address inside the message, so he’ll be dealt with quickly.

frpaul22, He sent me the same message too :'D I love this bs 😃

[david388]

@catwriter, I must be blind - where’s the report button you guys speak of? I don’t see one. I filed a separate report about this guy to Customer Support.



PS, @munimz, shouldn’t you be studying for some exams right now? ahem

[munimz]

The report button (written in small gray font) is just above the “Send a custom offer” button

Reply to @david388: Im on a break. since the last 6 hours. 😦

I got it to.

You mean to say this was a scam ?

I totally thought this was legit.

After all, it is totally believable to donate someone you never met instead of some charity centres.

LOL!! I got a Catholic Priest for 25 years, who had a bad open heart surgery that has him still bleeding. Wanted to give me 2,900,070 To help feed the poor and take care of the sick and my family!

I reported that so fast!

[david388]

Haha @kay2809 and @jdadvertising - that’s it! That’s the same one. Take it from me - there are numerous medical inaccuracies and inconsistencies in that brief (but shockingly generous!) message of his…

[wegotshoutouts]

@jdadvertising Thats the one I got I just replied saying I’m not interested. Lol

[zeus777]

I got one too!! 😃

I replied “Dear Father, how stupid do you think I am?” and reported him

Seriously… 😛

[fonthaunt]

I got mine too. For a dying priest, this guy has a LOT of energy. Does this mean we each get the money or we all have to split it? 😉

[catwriter]

Reply to @fonthaunt: Or the first one to accept gets it all? Hurry! 😃

[fonthaunt]

Reply to @catwriter: Too late. I just found out he bought a 600,000 5 dollar gigs on Fiverr since no one was taking him up on it. Since he only had 3 million dollars to start with he’s bankrupt now. 😃



Just to be on the safe side folks, I’m still kidding. This guy is just a scammer, nothing more and nothing less.

[Guest alexcreativity]

i got the same message but fiverr already mark this message as spam.

[carrerarace]

Oh, and here I thought i just made 3m and good to go haha

[fonthaunt]

Reply to @carrerarace: Right? That 3 million tip you know you deserve must be coming after the NEXT five buck gig.

[fastcopywriter]

Is that the Priest? I got a message for him, as if the Catholic Church couldn’t afford heart surgery for their own priests. Seriously, the fraudsters are too much.

[david388]

Haha - I think it was just a “who’s who” of people who post on the Forum - guys, we’ve all been outed!

[vitojamieson]

I wonder how many people actually fall for this stuff.



And as a side note, a doctor on Fiverr? Who knew?!!! Great to see all kinds of people here

[maddisont]

I got it too. [= Easily the funniest thing I have seen today.

[david388]

Reply to @vitojamieson: haha thanks! Love your gigs, btw.

[jmvazquez]

I received it this morning, too. Too bad… I was so excited, thinking that I finally had an order. XD Anyway, I can’t believe there are still scams like this. It’s so old and obvious.

[happyspace]

Got this too 😃
