Fuck Fiverr.

Two tests only? They should have done 10 tests from day 1 considering the fact that all these clueless scammers have almost ruined their reputation and quality of services.

How can one get scammed on Fiverr? You might get bad service, but scammed? Do you know you can get a refund there?
If so, you can use Upwork, etc., and pay US citizen with the same skillset as the poor Bangladeshi 7X more.

And I don't think they can pass even a basic 3rd-grade level English test from my own experience with them

How are they going to comprehend a briefing if they don't speak proper English? Also in my experience people from those countries certainly don't deliver the best quality. There's a reason why they're offering their services for 5$, you can't expect them to create the next Adidas logo.

Scam meaning is completely different. Scam means some kind of illegal trick - either losing money or avoiding taxes, etc.
You are getting finished service either you accept it or take the refund and chose another freelancer is up to you.
This term is getting thrown around too often.

That's the problem, there isn't any silver lining. From my experience, you have to dig deep and search for those gold nugget freelancers who provide service for fairly cheap. Of course, don't expect any Harvard bachelours quality work, but remember that they probably live like Richy-rich if they have 50$.

Avoiding taxes is not considered scam. I could give you plenty of evidence about freelancers that provide fake reports, fake shoutouts, backlinks that are getting deleted after a while and ruin your website etc. All these are considered unethical and dishonest ways of making money. Take a look at the term's definition https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/scam
 
A lot of shit on Fiverr just don't make sense. The commission is fucking massive, discoverability is disgustingly bad. Oh well.

I was about to post a new gig today, selling links on one of my sites in Swedish language, yeah, right. That ain´t happening.

They want me to do 40 minutes of English and 40 minutes of SEO tests before I could sell some links in Swedish language, fckm, I ain´t spending 80 minutes on selling maybe 5-6 cheap links for $50 each.

Well, well, might need to do something else. Now when they seem to trying to up the quality or something on their platform.

Anyone else got this to?

Actually It doesn't take 40 minutes. Its like 20 but still you're right im not gonna sell english articles gig. . Why would i go through a test thats not 100% related to my gig
 
If you pass the test once, you can put gigs forever. If you are looking to make quick money, short term, only then this is not a good idea.
