[Help Desperately Needed-]

here is my profile:https://www.fiverr.com/kevineaton407?public_mode=true


So this buyer from Germany wants me to make an upwork account. They say : "If you create an account of that for me, I will provide profit ($100 (upfront)+30 pct. (incoming per month)"

 

I asked "30% of what?"

He said "my profit every month."

He said: "I can make $10k every month if I use your account"

 

I asked a few times if that was legal and he dodged that question.

***Here is the whole conversation:

Hi @kevineaton407, your buyer will need to leave feedback first - then you will be able to leave feedback on your buyer. However, if the buyer leaves feedback too late, you might not be able to leave feedback (both reviews have to be completed within 10 days of the delivery date).

Please note that feedback is optional and buyers don't have to leave a review at all.

hmmm..I wonder why they wouldn't. guess im being paranoid ..I must have done an alright job they're ordering again

[I completed an order and the buyer accepted it, but it does not give me the option to leave feedback?]

I completed an order and the buyer accepted it, but it does not give me the option to leave feedback nor can I leave feedback for him. What gives? It was a revision, but I've had an order revised before and feedback was still left. does it matter that he is a repeat customer for the 3rd time?

It really does not feel legal. I am not law nerd but I suggest you to tell the buyer you cannot provide such service.

A kind of workaround I am thinking about (NOT a suggestion or incouragement to do so) is making your customer sign a sheet where he states he will not use the content outside of private use, but I am afraid the fact that you are being paid to create this copyrighted material is itself a law infringement you cannot avoid.

I agree, homie. They even want me to say the original app's name...

[Buyer wants me to copy an app's advertisement...is this legal?]

Doesn't feel like it. So this buyer wants me to copy an app's advertisement verbatim and shot by shot and send it to him. feels like copyright infringement or something. is this legal?

[Is there any way a buyer could scam me out of money by having me buy something on Amazon?]

I supposed I could do a little research but was hoping that one of you folks would be willing to help out a newbie. 

Normally, I wouldn't ask this question but the item is sort of expensive. They claim to just want me to model their product and to purchase it from Amazon and they would reimburse me through fiverr. If I set a custom gig just saying that I would buy the product, is there any way they could just cancel the order and get their money back even if I do exactly what I said I'd do?

If they are the business, why can't they just send me the item? I know some people just want purchases and comments, though. I suppose I would just have to look at Amazon's return policy but just in case this is legit I would like to do this now. 

 

Thank you, smart folks.
