Fiverr gigs are often known to be a scam through attractive pricing, service descriptions that lack meaning, or promises of the impossible results such as "we will guarantee 5,000 followers overnight". In their majority scammers use portfolios stolen from people or non-trending templates. You should take the time to find out if any of the reviews are the same or 5 stars, the next probably are fake. Be aware of new account holders with no job history that offer top-notch service at the lowest prices. Real freelancers will talk politely and answer your questions, but a seller who avoids answering your direct questions, speaks in a confusing manner or insists on communication not on the Fiverr platform should be viewed with suspicion. Stay away from the gigs that you have to provide ID and/or make transactions outside of the Fiverr—as per the terms of Fiverr, this is not allowed and is a means that bring theft close easily. Look for asymmetrical profiles of the seller—like the mix of languages and services or an incoherent bio—that indicate that the account was not built with the love of the work. Look for sellers who are straightforward about their work process, delivery time, and policy of revisions. At the end of the day, trust your gut feeling—if you feel that untowardness is present, just walk away. The scammers. Impulse and urgency are what the scammers rely on. Stop and research the thing that seems suspicious and it's always better to go for the option with clear facts, not what's trending.

Well, there was this client I had one time on Fiverr, I never knew that he was a freelancer.

So he gave me a really bulky job worth $100, since I was a new seller looking to grow my gig quickly, I accepted the work not knowing the he was getting paid close to $600 for the work.

He disturbed me with reviews upon reviews and at the end, he left a 1-star negative review on my gig that totally de-stablised my Fiverr earnings for a month plus.

…also, there was this time I lost $58 when trying to withdraw my Fiverr earnings via my friend’s Payoneer account. Fiverr told me that the funds had been withdrawn successfully but I never saw the funds credited on my friend’s Payoneer wallet.

So I could say, these are the two major times I got scammed on Fiverr

On Fiverr, I've learned to exercise extra caution. I back off if a gig offers upscale work at ridiculously low prices or guarantees 5,000 followers overnight. I've seen sellers claiming expert-level skills with empty profiles, copy-paste reviews, or stolen portfolios. An immediate warning sign is when someone sidesteps my inquiries or encourages me to communicate off-platform. I always abide by Fiverr's rules, which prohibit exchanging IDs or paying outside of the platform. I have faith in vendors who have realistic deadlines, communicate effectively, and are transparent about their work. I don't ignore a strange feeling. Scammers tend to make snap decisions, but I've learned to take my time and research potential hires.

Spotting a scam gig on Fiverr should not be that difficult. There are various ways you can spot such kind of scam gigs in many different ways. For example, you can have a look at the profile itself. Many scammers do not bother to create a professional profile. Having said that, this doesn't necessarily mean that a professionally-looking profile can't be a scam. However, in many cases, many such scam gigs creators also have counterfeit reviews. Under such circumstances, it would be really hard to distinguish between legitimate and scam gig profile creators.

I’ve come across my fair share of sketchy Fiverr gigs, and I’ve learned to trust my gut. If a deal looks too good to be true—like 10,000 followers overnight—it probably is. I always check reviews closely, especially if they’re all five stars and sound copied. I avoid sellers who dodge questions or try to take the convo off Fiverr. That’s a big red flag. I’ve also noticed that real freelancers are clear about what they offer and don’t pressure you. I steer clear of vague bios, mismatched services, or accounts that just feel off. Fiverr can be great, but only if you stay sharp, ask questions, and don’t let urgency cloud your judgment.

To identify potential scam gigs on Fiverr, be wary of offers that seem too good to be true, requests to communicate or pay outside the platform, and gigs with no reviews or suspiciously high ratings. Always scrutinize seller profiles and reviews, and be cautious of gigs requesting your personal information or promising unrealistic results.
