alexanderamanda Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I have been sent the same message from at least six different accounts in a week or so. The first message is always goes like this…Them: HeyMe: Hi!Them: I have four projects. Are you interested?Me: (Casual opening conversation lines, questions etc.)Them: Please contact my boss. Asal dot peek at yandex dot comThe first time I receive this message, I gently explained that Fiverr doesn’t work that way and that they would need to work with me directly through this website.Every account that has messaged me like this has gotten closed very shortly after.What are they trying to pull people into? How does this keep happening over and over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijazsattar Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Yes; you are right, but i am here to write you that please i don’t have the information how to write the peoples who are looking for the freelancers to work. I am a freelancer and have good experience but waiting for the right person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catwriter Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It happens from time to time. Basically, it’s the same old “contact me outside of Fiverr so I can pay you directly and so you can earn more” scam, and those who fall for it end up not getting paid.

whitehatseo10 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Another problem is that if you don’t repond to this messages, then your reponse rate is dropping… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariokluser Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Happened to me and CS fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanishedk Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Probably to trick you into a scam site + “oh lets do it outside where the support cant help you nor save you cause you know, you’ll earn more money and who doesn’t want to do that (;” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariokluser Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 In this case you have to use a different platform. Not Fiverr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariokluser Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 If they stupid enough to deliver before getting paid they deserve to suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundusfarrukh Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I also used to get these messages. Initially I kept ignoring and/or reporting them. Once, out of curiosity, I did email… They basically were trying to score a FREE GIG!Guy were like, you need to show us what you can do… promote my link as sample. If good, we will give you order worth $thousand$ etc etc… I told em to F*** OFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shastaz Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 If they spam you, you can always respond as “Hi thank you, I’m not interested” since only the first message counts for your response rate. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miacmht Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 This is considered spam too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidelectus55 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 My response rate drop to 76% because of these spammers. I don’t respond to messages with only one word like “Hi” or “hello”. I hope that fiverr do something about this… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
