I've been a seller on Fiverr on and off for years. 

I've recently come back to Fiverr on a new account and the amount of scammers targeting new sellers is 

It seems to me Fiverr is clearly overwhelmed by the staggering number of scammers as the majority of the accounts that have messaged me in the last few days are still active. 

I have noticed there is no longer a report button anywhere on-screen *if* you interact with the user. Fiverr does give you the option to report the user before you start communication, but if you initialise communication that warning (along with the report button) vanishes... 

If you're unsure if it is a legitimate customer and you ask further questions, you can't report them if they are a scammer... 

The amount of scammers messaging me makes the entire platform feel under resourced and unprofessional because how is a billion dollar company unable to tackle the issue that has not only existed for a while but gotten worse? 

It makes for a very negative experience for new sellers who are eager to communicate and sell to real customers. 

Fiverr is overwhelmed with scammers for new sellers. My experience.

A home for meaningful connections, peer support, and professional growth.
