@Kesha How this stupid scammer manged to get what's supposed to be a negative keywords in the filter system (If there is any)? Could anyone register as AdminFiverr too? This reveals so much. Suggest to the tech team to include some cocktails: Fivvre Fivvrr Fivrer Fivrerr Fiveer Fiveerr Fivere I don't believe what I'm saying now.

Depends on the category that scammers are targeting as well, I started 4 days ago, I received just 1 spam asking to contact outside the platform but I know the pain of this outside Fiverr : I see you're in translation, I'm in websites maintenance, most of them will avoid my category because they know well we help website owners with spam messages.

Yes, any of those could make the scammers journey pointless from the first hour without a real impact on real buyers and sellers. If Fiverr didn't implemented this in the near future, this could mean that Fiverr is making money from it. A marketplace with open windows, if the lock is placed on these windows, they could lose a percentage due to a small lazy group who flee the site once asked for a verification. It's really a percentage game, are they worth losing? if you asked me, if less than 5% of the overall new joins in 1 year spend on their first day are lost in exchange for safety and peace of mind? Yes.

It is a great idea to terminate/kill almost 99% of the spam messages by charging fees, scammers hates to pay, but they love to take other people hard earned money for no return. This approach is really good IF Fiverr at the highest of the freelance mountain (and they are) + there is no one near to compete, this could solve a huge problem by creating another, I mean who could pay first to just get access to a freelance market without considering alternatives?, And then start spending?. specially if they've never heard of Fiver before. Some freelance marketplace will rise up and take advantage of the situation by marketing against the core idea of fighting spams, example: Are you paying to just hire a freelancer? Sign Up It's FREE and so on, this could limit Fiverr ability for growth overtime and they know it. The bright side is most of the seller will work comfortably with trust anticipating a new message as a new lead not spam and they will reconsider leaving the platform 10 times before making a decision. The question is: Will Fiverr really consider locking the door like an ATM to protect its sellers? Apologize for the long comment, I'm not hear to argue.

😶 whaat!, I think these people don't read the intros, they just looking for the green signup button and thinking of Fiverr as an employer not a tool with rules to get buyers.

I didn't suffer from this yet, I'm new here, but any company of this size with great talent should utilize AI for security to flag certain strings/patterns and delete or contain the messages before reaching the sellers inboxes. I know the team is doing his best, Thanks for the heads up. Regards,

I was curious to see a sample of these messages, until I saw your last post I hate scammers so much, they leverage social engineering to mimic communications systems I'm new here but I will not say I'm discouraged now with the platform but I will give it a try. Fiverr will eventually use AI to detect unverified URLs sent within the platform. That's the sad reality, I see most of the gigs are done cheap for more value, I mean it's not easy to formulate a package for a reasonable price.

Hi Fiverrs, My name is Naif, I'm a SystemAdmin and WordPress developer Nice to be on Fiverr sense 2013, I mean things have changed big time. Fiverr is a giant company today, I'm taking the steps to be a seller these days unless it's too late to do so. But joining the community could be a start to take some random thoughts. Looking forward to learn and give back.
