Are There Scams on Fiverr?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 12:24 am

If you’re thinking about using Fiverr to get some work done, you might be wondering if there are any scams on the platform. The short answer is yes, there are definitely scams on Fiverr – but there are also ways to avoid them.

One of the most common scams on Fiverr is when someone offers to do a job for you for $5, but then asks for more money once they’ve started working. This is known as the “upsell” scam, and it’s pretty easy to avoid. If you’re approached by someone who wants to upsell you, just say no thanks and move on.

PRO TIP: There are a number of scams on Fiverr. Be sure to do your research before hiring anyone. There are a number of red flags to watch out for, such as sellers who want you to pay outside of Fiverr, or who have a lot of negative reviews. If you’re not sure about a seller, don’t be afraid to ask for more information or for clarification on their services.

Another common scam is when someone takes your money and then doesn’t do the job they promised. This is called the “no show” scam, and it’s also pretty easy to avoid. If you’re worried that the person you’re working with might not be legitimate, you can always request a refund through Fiverr’s dispute resolution process.

Of course, not every gig on Fiverr is a scam – there are plenty of great deals to be found. Just be sure to use your best judgement and don’t give anyone your money until you’re sure they’re going to do the job they promised.
