Thank you, it’s strange that fiverr don’t want to know. Surely they want ethical sellers on their platform, giving buyers a good experience which will make the buyer come back for more. i agree it’s my word against his, I am more than happy for him to come and defend himself but ultimately all I want is the database so I can keep operating the website I paid for. All developers I speak to say he should still have this. This has become painful, and gen fiverr has given me a warning for slandering him instead of offering to help or provide some level of mediation

Agreed although I used him a number of times afterwards and spent a lot of money with him so would have thought he would be honourable. I have also had a warning from fiverr to say I shouldn’t be slandering people. This is a last resort for me as I have tried to contact him on a number of occasions and he has now blocked me. fiverr should be reaching out to him and investigating as opposed to giving me a warning - surely other people that use him should be informed of his shady practice

I used a developer [***] who decided to log into my hosting service and remove all the files without mY permission. He is now saying in order to retrieve the files I need to pay him. I have spoken to the hosting company and they don’t have any backups. Any ideas please on how I can get my website back that I have paid him for?!

He is saying that I did it, I wouldn’t even know how to do it. I am not a developer and have no idea what / how to use host wesbites. He is saying that I logged in and removed it - i only found out about it when I went to the website. The problem is I didn’t back up (again I am a novice). Because I have said I will report him he is now saying he no longer has a copy and will have to start from scratch. I have no idea what to do now

I pay for it, I use bluehost and it was hosted there. I have been speaking to them and they say it was purposely removed a couple of months ago. He was the only person with the login. [***] said he can sort it for me for money. This isn’t what I would expect after paying him over £500. Any advice on what I can do here?

Thanks @webcut I have contacted them on a number of occasions and have not even acknowledged my messages. Not sure what else I can do. The developer in question has blocked me as well

I used a developer [***] on fiverr and all seemed well, a year after he removed the database from my hosting company and is asking for money to reinstate it. My experience on trying to contact and complain to fiverr has not been good as they do not reply and furthermore you cannot go back and change the reviews and ratings that I gave him. All I want is for him to reinstate the website but he is refusing to do this unless I pay him money again - surely he should have provided me with the database when I completed the project - my naivety I did not request. Please be warned

Here is the link. He has blocked me now and does not allow me to communicate with him - all I want is the the database so I can reinstate the website otherwise it’s been a complete waste of money and time

Word of warning - this guy is called [***], he built a website and then logged into your hosting and removed the database. He is now asking for money for to reinstate and although complaining to fiverr they have not done anything about it. I spent over £500 with this guy and he should have provided me the database when built but it’s my bad I didn’t ask him for it. Use this guy with caution

Word of warning - he built a website and then logged into my hosting and removed the database and is now asking money to reinstate it. Stay away from this guy - I have spent well over £500 with this guy but he is not to be trusted. He has further blocked me, fiverr dont seem to care

Can you name and shame sellers who do not provide all the info and details they should? I only realised after I had accepted and now they are asking for more money. I have complained to fiverr but they seem to ignore all my requests / complaints

I paid a fiverr pro to build a website over a year ago, since then he seems to have destroyed the website on the hosting platform - I am trying to get it fixed and appear Ely he removed the database from the hosting platform and is not proving mE with the database so I can rectify the problem. I have complained to fiverr but nothing seems to be getting done. Any advice will be appreciated
