rrrevif Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 How do you deal with spam messages on fiverr?In my short time here i already got 2 spammers messaging me. The first one was a while ago and seems to be already gone from the site (the message was a pretty blatant advertisement of another site) but this second one seems to be more subtle. I reported him once and somehow the report alert message disappeared and now it’s affecting my response rate even after reporting him again.Here are the messages:Hello there!Isn't it hard and frustrating to try and attract clients?Well, one way to keep them hooked is to use a video to explain your gig. I can create a stunning video based off from your creative mind! Adding a video makes Fiverr rank you up the page faster and can attract customers, it truly is just a small investment.I have a special promo that I want you to take a hold off, hoping to work with you soon. Cheers! :)Therealjamesarq has recommended a gig for the service you need. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catwriter Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I answer them first (“not interested” or “thanks for letting me know”), then click on Report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwenhwyfar37 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Yep, you may need to click on the “Report” button…I had a similar experience not too long ago…Kind of bizarre, it sounded like someone phishing around for my personal info. Straight away, red flag…hit “report”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaki Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 “If you don’t stop this, I will report you”.Either they apologize and bugger off (and hopefully reconsider their ways), or they repeat their offer (!) and I click the report button. Some are a bit more finessed than others, but all are essentially a load of cold-calling guff that these morons have no idea how to do. Dress 'em down, boys! It’s fun… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaki Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 The only other approach is of course to lead them on… which I would if I could be bothered and thought it might be faintly amusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
