alinahu Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Dear friends, I just wanted to warn you not to get scammed to work for free.Recently I got such a message from another seller:"Hi, please we need 2 people to add to our team of transcribers…We are focusing of speed and accuracy. Please if you cannot do this, kindly inform me.Kindly transcribe just 2minutes of this youtube video in less than 30 minutes".Although it seemed like a scam I did this work and never got a reply.Then in one day I could see a positive review on her page.Please be careful with this kind of sellers.Thank you for your attention.

deltasierra360 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 You don’t go to Burger King (or any other fast food restaurant) and ask, to test a burger. 😉So never never really NEVER provide a test work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catwriter Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 It happens from time to time.Another one is: a fellow seller wants to team up with you, wants you to deliver more work for $5 than you’d normally do, and wants it delivered in 24 hours even though you don’t offer 1 day delivery. Of course, they promise you that you’ll be receiving a lot of orders from them (well, a lot of $5 orders that must be delivered in 24 hours), and they’re really keen to work with you, and how come you’re not interested?

fitrigwrites4u Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 So, after I read about some buyers tricked some sellers, and some sellers tricked some buyers, now a seller tricked another seller. Sometimes I wonder how some people could do such thing. Ahhh perhaps they don´t feel bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltasierra360 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Yes. Contacting the buyer beside fiverr violates the TOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
