My ratings are going to go down because i was sent surveys for someone who was supposedly doing research, I received the document to my PC with the links to do these surveys, they asked me for a revision after I did their research project, but I will never see the end of the spam, I am being scammed out of my ratings and spammed daily by thi person asking for revisions and my ratings will drop if I don't entertain their request.
Also (unrelated to the prior incident), I did a gig for someone who was supposed to accept a custom gig offer and pay through the Fiverr platform, they tried to take me off of the platform and they hacked my email and I was quick enough to migrate my stuff to other email addresses, so I then retired that email address by contacting the company and showing them my identification card from the state where I live and then the account was closed. He tried to go through my banking info, my payoneer info and what not, I quickly recovered those (thank goodness for nothing being available on those accounts), I showed my ID to those platforms as well and retired the one bank account. I do not know how he got my email address, but now I am just more careful.
My suggestion is that there needs to be more regulations of who can buy and what they are allowed to propose as a gig request by filtering things like surveys out if they aren't from an approved source and if they cannot be regulated through the site, then they shouldn't be allowed. I reported these individuals. I reported the man in the second incident 3 times and the woman in the first incident 1 time but I updated the case by submitting the document she sent me for the spam surveys she used the scam me. These 2 incidents are not related, but, there needs to be some sort of way to reconcile the amount of harassment I've endured. I was hacked by someone from Nigeria in the second incident and once I caught wind that my email was hacked by the supposed customer who confessed it was him elsewhere, I was livid to put it mildly and I deactivated the email after updating my emails for all of the things I use and scattering them between multiple email addresses so that hacking me won't do the hacker any good anymore for the most part. I just don't understand why it has taken Fiverr 8+ hours to do something about the first incident and they've yet to do something about either incident and it's been 1 hour since I have reported the second incident once I was walked through as to what to do.
Fortunately, my Fiverr account hasn't been hacked (yet). I am not posting this to bash anyone, but I am posting this to say the following: this has happened, what can we do to make sure that buyers aren't malicious in their intents on this platform to both spam and scam sellers? Once there is a solution, please implement it. Thank all of you for reading this, and have a great day!
