If you decide to use Fiverr to find services or products, it’s important to be aware of potential scams. In particular, be wary of people who offer services that they cannot actually provide. Additionally, be cautious of people who ask for payment before they have completed the task. If you’re unsure about a potential purchase, ask the seller for more information or to send you a sample of the work they’ve completed.
PRO TIP: There are a number of scams that can occur on Fiverr. As a buyer, you may be asked to pay for a gig that is never delivered. The seller may also deliver substandard work or work that is not as described in the gig. If you are not satisfied with the work, you may have difficulty getting a refund. It is important to communicate with the seller before ordering a gig to ensure that you are both clear about what will be delivered. If you have any concerns, it is best to cancel the order and find another seller.
Finally, be sure to use a credit card rather than sending money to people you don’t know. If something seems too good to be true, it likely is.
