Potential Scam Alert – New Sellers, Be Careful! 🚨

Hey everyone! I recently encountered a suspicious client, and I wanted to share my experience to help others stay safe. 

A buyer messaged me about a scriptwriting order. Everything seemed normal until they sent me a

 to proceed with payment. The page claimed that because I’m a new seller, they need my email to complete the transaction. 🚩 

At first, I was excited, but something felt off. 

Fiverr never asks for seller emails during payment – all payments happen automatically through the platform.

 After some research, I realized this was likely a scam! 😨 

I’m sharing this to warn other sellers. Have you ever faced something similar? How do you handle these situations? Let’s help each other stay safe!
