It's not a scam, but I joined it and didn't find it was very good. For one thing you don't earn a fiver, you get about $4, because of their commission. If you look at the list of tasks wanting doing, some of them are ridiculous. I am a writer and I posted various "gigs" on there, I only ever did two and replied to many and mostly never even got a reply.
Some people wanting work done expect a whole series of articles for the money or for you to build them a website, that sort of thing! For that money I would only write a 500 word article and then only if it was fairly easy. I did get paid promptly, but I haven't been back, because it's not worth it.
There are many look a like sites which have popped up, apparently you can buy the templates etc and start your own! If you were offering a novel service for a fiver, you MIGHT be ok getting responses, but there is a lot of nonsense on there.

It is a lot of silliness on the site but I think that is the way it was designed.....not only are a lot of people willing to do some strange things for $5 (less really, as we mentioned), but people are also willing to pay for some strange things too....market and demand.
I don't take it seriously, like something that will pay major bills but I have done nicely with it. I have also declined many jobs that were outrageously time or labor-intensive. You have to be willing to say no or that it is beyond the scope of a fiverr gig. Many people will began to make offers for more and in that case. i will tell them how to break a job into many gigs. I keep everything real easy and maybe that is why I have been successful with it.

It sounds like you have it sussed, I declined jobs like that to, I was getting ratty because people were asking for outrageous amounts of work for the money! I would like to see more sites of this kind but a bit more sensible, with realistic tasks and less nonsense, then more of us could earn a crust.

Hi,
According to my perspective, I would tell you to please try it. I've been there for almost a year, although I don't earn daily, I can earn $5 as soon as I finish a task assigned to me. Once in s while, I get assignments as it is very difficult to get projects from there as the popularity of the blog keeps increasing. But I do make a guaranteed income whenever I get tasks. So, why to let those dollars slip away. Just expose your talent and earn a few bucks for your pocket as well.

What type of task is assigned to you? Is it easy or very tough to do? Would you be kind enough to share your experiences with the site?

If you have any expertise that you believe you can make money from, then I say go for it. Fiverr is a trusted site, so you don't have to worry about being scammed. I know someone who earn a good amount of money from it. She's an artist and she designs shirts, mugs, etc.
Give it a try, who know it works for you!
Good luck!

I also like to get reviews about 3to30, fiverr. Is it worth spending time on these?
