Am I being cheated by this Fiverr guy?

I ordered a gig that promised to give 1 million backlinks using GSA method to my site for $5. (Am new to GSA and I very well know these links are shit, but still wanted to try for testing)

It's been 3 days and the order is delivered today. He shared an excel report with the links and other details, and there were exactly 1042533 links in it. Out of curiosity, I filtered the rows to only list unique records, to my surprise, only 3230 records passed the uniqueness test, which is not even close to 1% of what is promised on the gig!

When I enquired about this to the guy, he says the following,



What I don't understand is, as he mentioned, all his reviews are 5 star, and have 4 to 5 orders in queue most of the time.

It worries me to be the 1st buyer to give negative feedback without knowing if this is normal with GSA, so thought I would check with you all.

If you are not satisfied,give him the review he deserves and no rocket science here.

But still you should confirm here with the SEO Guys.

This is how fiverr works.

He promised you 1M links and gave 3k. If it was me, I would give him 1 star and give a detailed explanation.

Disclaimer: I dont know what GSA is

Yep you shouldn't get only 3000 uniques, he's a scum. What do you expect for $5 though? It was a test costing you $5 and now you know spending $5 on GSA backlinks is pretty crap.

Most GSA Blasts on these marketplaces are just like you have experienced.

The review system is there for a reason and you should post it. Just explain everything in the review.
I can bet most of those 4 & 5 * review guys wouldn't have checked their reports properly.

Cheap learning lesson for 5.00 (or is it 7.0 now?).

If the price is too good to be true usually its a scam.

Most likely people buy it to send them to their competitor.

Judging by the responses . Yes

I would give him 1star review
3k out or 1 Mill
Less the 2% of the order

Very well, thanks for all your responses. Now I know what to do!

Agreed! (and yes it's $7 with charges )

Took me a while to understand the typo here, Defend=Depend. Was literally wondering for 5 minutes what was the seller trying to say exactly.
Bdw, Fiverr is not somewhere I'd bet my money on when it comes to Backlinks. BHW Marketplace is way better IMHO!

Definitely sounds like a scummy seller.
Not sure what you expected for $5 though.

Give him the review You feel he deserves. If he can deliver 3000 links, I think thats what he should put on his gig

had he mentioned in his GIG, 1M links(backlink) will be unique?
if not, give him what he deserves!

Mate I think he made it clear that we have to defend on it!!!

Serious: 1 star him, not only did he under-deliver, he also tried to hide it by duplicating rows in the spreadsheet. I wouldn't even notice it if I was buying GSA links because the quantities are outrageous anyways.

Yup, that's just Fiverr

Lesson learned.

If you feel like you got cheated, you probably did.

But my friend ...
