Hope you are all doing well!
 
Just wanted to share my experience with the 7 spam messages I've gotten in only 2 days! I keep getting messages from fake buyers asking for my e-mail because they can't place the order. A lie, of course. However, reacting to and reporting fake buyers takes up too much time.
 
So I am wondering: Why is it that only sellers need to be vetted and apparently buyers are not?
 
I mean, one spam message in a while is doable, but 7 in 2 days? That means Fiverr is not protecting sellers, which are the ones they're making money of.
 
Am I the only one experiencing this? And am I missing a solution I haven't found yet?
