Hello to everyone, I just wanted to share my experience with this new method of scam spammers are now coming up with in order to get our emails and personal info. Please feel free to share to newbies or people who needs to get this message. So, the first think they do is that they no longer use bots to send us messages, they want you to think that you're chatting with potential customers or in another way, make you think they have problems with the payment method, and request your e-mail, it seems simple, but i think genuine newbies who only want to work honestly may fall into the trap for the thrill of gaining a new customer. Please I'll repeat it one more time, don't let the emotion of thinking that you gained a new customer (of which I am also a victim) take over your reasoning, and check the Terms of Service and Community Standards Fiverr offers you in order to gave you advice and rules that you have to follow. Spammers are very smart and will do a great effort to make you think that you are engaging in a potential deal, to get your personal info, or/and to make you download corrupted files that contains viruses to steal all your data, or worse. So please stay cool-minded and always check the tips Fiverr and other users like me share with you, that's all. A real example of which I'm telling you may look like this (srry for the bad quality but I only took an screenshot since I didn't want to take the risk of getting a malware 🤷‍♂️) 

Hello, I think spammers are getting more and more smarter, this is scary
