So basically I run a gig where I build a house in a game for you. So the first red flag I got was they asked for a 3d model. I explained to them I build houses not models. And then they said that’s what they wanted a house in a game. So I was thinking ‘maybe they just miscommunicated.’ Anyway then they said “I have some references but fiverr won’t let me send them” (second red flag) they asked if I can give them my email to send them through. I thought this was a bit sketchy so I sent an old email I never use. They said it wouldn’t send the references either. After that they said they are going to pay for premium. I got a email saying: ‘

Hello Your service payment has been adequately processed. Kindly affirm by selecting the button below.’

I thought they had paid and fiverr was emailing me about this. But in the app I had to active sales…and I got a email from “fiverr”, from the email I gave them not my main one fiverr usually sends to. I was getting a bit suspicious but I haven’t got an order in months and I really needed a bit more money. I tested them asking for their username so I can friend them (in order to build.) and they gave me one…so I typed it in and it wasn’t a person. They keep telling me to accept the email to get the money so we can start but I don’t trust it.

Is this a scam?
