After spending some days on Fiverr especially, doing research on buyers for a number of projects I saw a number of glaring red flag that suggested they were scammers. I even tested one of them on the cheaper side, which confirmed my suspicions. And I am more baffled and bemused than saddened how people can breach each others confidence, whether for a few dollars or a few thousand.
At one point, I was thinking along these lines myself, if only for a few seconds, after a couple of ideas occurred to me on how to earn 'easy money' since a lot of it is really not that difficult but started feeling dumber at the mere idea,.. why...? Because I was honestly not adding value to a system, let alone help anyone problem solve but only taking away, and adding to the problem if anything... I mean a lot of services, even of billionaires can be said to be a little shaky but at least they provide some kind of output in the way of productivity in exchange for money - i'm talking about outright scammers who don't add anything at all.
So with that said and so many major platforms such as fb and ebay being rife with scammers, I just don't understand how scammers can act the way they without some kind of void, like a black hole eating away at them psychologically from not only not adding value to system, but actually taking away from it in a very negative manner.

I mean we could go on about these guys making like difficult for the not so serious IM 'crimes', speaking in absolute terms, as the shared platforms just beef up their security and fraud detections, but I guess we'll leave that one for another day.

This is totally out of context and kinda blaming onto someone without genuine cause. I'd suggest you message the seller directly & not name shame him for no reason.

I did message them, before this and they said ok.... I don't have time for someone to promise me something then screw me around. Perhaps your tolerance for being treated like crap is better than mine.
 
everybody wants money, not everyone has something to offer AND even major corporations are scamming right now, look at gas, banks, etc. You expect some fiverr dude to be on the up and up? :p

I will call out scammers till the cows come home
 
they need fast money or it has become their habit
 
Did they scam you?
If yes, open a shitlist. If not, report it to a mod.
Either way there's not much point in trashing someone else's thread with that.
That's what i said. He's trashing his thread for no reason. And I guess that kinda breaks a rule or two here on the forum too.
 

Amazing movie. James Cameron really out did himself. Terminator 1 & 2 > Avatar series.

People are grimy sometimes. On the internet, people can scam without a lot of real world consequences. They just ignore whatever chargeback stuff comes their way & off they go.

Karma handles them usually.

As a being from the early 90s.. I must agree.

I don't think it does. I reported it and it was rejected saying no rules have been broken.
 
They are scamming because its very easy money. What can he/she do more? Nothing. So he/she doing a scam. Like that lean on your back and watch the money flow
 
Why do sellers only refer to positive reviews as "honest"? Why can't someone have an honest negative review?

Oh, the many unanswered questions of the world...
 
There will always be scammers. The obvious reason is to make a living. Scammers rank from just low rate scammers. Also scam artists that can ransom big business operating systems and Databases for huge money. I got an F in art haha, I should have been a banker.
