cust0mcr3ationz Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Never respond to big project requests unless they actually put up. You don’t want someone putting a bone in your face only to take it away. Seriously no links or attachments unless it’s to do with a project and it’s their site. if it’s a FB or something suspicious exit stage left. if the file is an exe or a dll file don’t open. if the file is a zip file scan it. There are tons of people out there who will try and deceive but for every one shady person there are a lot of decent buyers. believe me I have like 5 customers who return on a weekly basis with like 2 or 3 orders a week.

zeus777 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hello,I’ve had those “I have a big project for you, please check the attached file for details” type of message, and when I actually read the text file, it was either an email address or an s***e/MSN ID. I never responded to them, I just clicked "report."Never respond to those messages!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kendur Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Nothing I hate more than spam and slackers…err… hackers.I just posted my first 2 gigs and have already been asked to join some community with contact info, phone number etc… for $5. Is this against Fiverr’s terms? No way I am going to, just curious.“Hi kendur, this is ******** I’m writing to ask you if you want to signup to a website as a lead with valid phone number and contact info for 5$? If you are interested let me know. It’s for a submit an invention site.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adnagam Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 How did you get hacked from a txt file? I’m always wary of people who send me txt files. It is usually because the have some shady info they don’t want to get caught in the filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
