The unwanted gig offer

[zeus777]

It’s not really a rant, but just because I was mildly annoyed by it…

I’m sure that a lot of us has received the gig offer which we never asked for.
Maybe I should call it spam offer.

I got a message so I went to check what it was, and boom there it was, a
gig offer for 500 facebook likes.

facepalm

I don’t care about facebook likes, even if it was free I don’t need it.
I messaged the guy telling him that I never asked for it, and it’s just spam.
He replies in one word: sorry.

I went to check his gigs for the heck of it, and I saw the facebook likes and some logo
design gigs which were pretty darn clear that those designs did not belong to him.

I’m not going to report this guy since I get the feeling he won’t be getting
orders anytime soon, it’s not a huge problem, but still, like I said, mildly annoyed by it.

…and hey, while I was typing this my coworker came to my booth and gave me a strawberry
chocolate.
OK, I feel better now, HAHAHA.

Chocolate; it works like magic each time.

I still have 2 notifications for custom offers under my TODO 😦
It still annoys me when I open that page.

And I don’t have anyone to give me treats while I’m typing this:(

You should contact customer support, I told them about the ugly “gig offer” message in my to-do box, and they removed it for me!

Mee too, 2 spam notifications for custom offers, many updates on fiverr but not so much bugs and issues fixed!

At least it seems to have been relegated to the bottom of the queue where I don’t see it (most of the time), instead of stuck to the top and sending my queue haywire. I’ve got a couple right now, but they’re not bothering me enough to contact CS yet. I do wish people wouldn’t offer me 500 likes for my photo/100 comments on my blog/1000 backlinked PR1 pages/Brad Pitt on a stick.

Might have gone for the last, admittedly–but it would have been a darned scam. Anyone engaging in gig offers without explicit request for an offer should be wheeled out and shot. Or at least have a thousand fake gig requests chunder up their list. At least it’s all over after you’re shot…
