Hi, i just i got messages from someone on fiverr saying he want to buy my offers and need my email. then i sent it, there's an email sent to me it did look from fiverr but weird email address, at first i don't want to open it, and still asking the buyer what kind of project he want to do. but we got conversation, and i brave my self to click on the link, the website is the exact same with fiverr there's my account and more (it's really same). then there's sth like i need to proceed about how am i getting paid, because it does in fiverr website so i trusted it, but i can't use paypal for it, and there's a bubble chat and she said her name is emily, i talk to her she said i can't use my paypal first before i confirm my bank account or something like that. I'm still trusted it cause it's really fiverr web i can check my account and more on it like fiverr nothing change, so i put my bank account on it, i felt weird because they asked my card balance and says that it will hold some amount of money, i didn't believe at first but I'm still believe it's fiverr. so i put it, and then it sent me a code to my phone with my real bank as a sender, but the really weird things is it ask $195 for it, so I'm not put the code cause I'm not trusting it, but is it safe for me?. I asked the buyer more and he didn't reply so i'm sure now it's a scam, I'm afraid so i will transfer all my money to my sister first. but is it okay?, please if someone ever get this could you share what happened to you, 

i have question for it
