mark74 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I’ve just received this messagehttp://puu.sh/kmn73/67f0991bf5.pngIt’s not the first time this kind of fraud is reported here on Fiverr, naturally everytime from a different user.Customer Support has already been warned and this user is going to be banned very soon.In the meanwhile, please do not share your personal details with this person, do not send emails, do not call him or your account could be restricted and, worse, you could lose your money.

willpower_hk Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I wonder whether such an obvious old school scamming technique works anymore nowadays. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david388 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Yeah - agree with @willpower_hk! Almost makes me nostalgic for those emails from Nigerian princes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark74 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Reply to @willpower_hk: probably they don’t work anymore… but if just a single user gets scammed that’s too much… so I decided to warn everyone 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willpower_hk Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Reply to @mark74:I now treat these messages as good opportunities to increase my response rate and response time (maybe…), using a quick response:"Thanks so much for your kindness. Your generosity has prompted me to report your message as a spam. Your account will soon be banned on Fiverr.Keep the treats for yourself. Cheers!":D/ :D/ :D/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark74 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Reply to @swahilipro: it’s called nigerian scam because the first one like this was coming from Nigeria if I’m not wrong.Search for “nigerian scam” on Google and you’ll find a lot of sites: one is https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/types-of-scams/unexpected-money/nigerian-scams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imagiwildinc Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I feel really bad for Country images and names that are being dented because of desperation of some few, if it doesn’t work anymore, I’m sure they would have found a better alternative it has to be that some people still fall victim to these lies.Let’s all be watchfulThanks Mark.
