Fiverr.com IS A SCAM! I repeat FIVERR IS A SCAM! Multiple scam reports are surfacing all over the web as to how Fiverr has blocked and ripped off many members (longstanding highly rated members) with funds left in their accounts. Then they just hide and ignore emails not even bothering to respond.
Combined, they have scammed me and many other members out of thousands of dollars - and will continue scamming if they are not exposed and brought to a grinding halt.
DO NOT join Fiverr.com unless you too want to get scammed too. You have been warned. I do not want any myLotters falling victim to this scam.
Read all about it here and spread the word!

Well at least you're considering that there is in fact some truth to this, not just me and everyone else blowing hot air. Thank you for at least giving this the benefit of the doubt.

oh yes off course I do not want to recommend something which is not good and working to my readers and lose my image so when ever I get something like this I do try to have a little more information and always try to put good information for my readers in my blog, and initially if something worked well and later becomes a scam I try to remove them as soon as possible or alert or update the article as soon as possible.Moreover I only recommend my tested and tried programs in which I have full confidence but also present other information about many other programs but still I take precaution about not giving bad information.

Thank you myl999. That's all I'm saying. People will believe what they want to believe, and that's fine by me - that's their choice. I'm just a messenger. When I see and hear comments like the ones below all around the web that share similarities - on top of my own personal experience and gut instinct - then it screams SCAM to me, and I don't trust it, not with a 10-foot pole.

First of all, a big " Thank you " for informing us of scam jobs in Fiverr.com. In fact every other day there are scams everywhere. When there are gullible people there are scams. These cheats strive on the GREED of everyone of us. So as long as you are not greedy or gullible you won't fall for their schemes.

You said the key word: "gullible people". Thank you for commenting.

Oh, hard to believe it. In the past I was a member of Fiverr and I tried to work for it to earn money. But it seems others were not interested in my offers, so I didn't earn anything from it. I gave it up at last. But sometimes I can see some positive posts in Mylot about Fiverr and they said they had earned a lot from it and I envied it. Now you said it was a scam and this is a big shock for me. What a bad news.
I love China

Yes, and I will keep calling them a scam. Sometimes the slickest scams are hard to prove, hard to detect, hard to undercover. That's why they're called...well...SCAMS!
Let me ask you a question...if you did business with someone and was in regular contact with them, then all of a sudden they ran off and withheld all of your hard-earned money - without giving you any rhyme or reason - and every time you tried to contact them to find out "Why?" they wouldn't answer - no response to your emails, hang ups in your face, shut the door in your face and simply do not respond -- What would you think?
...Would you trust them?

Oh. Gosh... I never knew that Fiverr is a scam. I thought that they are a legitimate and popular site. I have an account on Fiverr, but I am not that active because I do not know what to sell. I am just curious so I just sign up there without any reason -- he he

Like my picture says: "YOU BETTA RECOGNIZE!"
There's all types of scams, fraud, shady business practice, theft or whatever you wanna call it going on these days. Don't say I didn't warn you.

How long have you been in fiverr? I guess you really dont know the site because normally if you've been with them for years you wont say such words against them. I've been working with them for 3 years and I had some small issues but it was resolve by their tech teams who responded very nicely as long as you are nice to them of course. I think its much better if you will deal with them before saying such strong words. I dont blame you feeling that way for I dont know whats the full story but I am saying on my side that it is NOT scam. Its legit and I earn a lot from it.

I've already stated I have tried to contact them MANY times. And no I wasn't impolite. And yes they always answered my tickets until they pulled this fast one, which makes it even more strange because i know they're getting the messages. And yes I provided great service for close to a year and a half. And yes I do have a valid reason to feel the way I do, and others do too.

I can't believe Fiverr.com is a scam. I sold 10 gigs and earned $40 last month.. when asked for money they sent payment within a minute or two in Paypal. The service is so fast that my money was already there even before I could log in to my Paypal account. really express delivery.
Fiverr is so far the best gig site and I love it very much.
Yes I read somewhere that they ban people who violate their TOS. but that happens everywhere. Even in Mylot they will ban us if we break rules.

I read somewhere that Fiverr has an automated system that trigger itself when certain words are use. Even if you didn't break the TOS certain words used like "email" or "donation" or maybe "Paypal"(perhaps there are more words that can't be use in Fiverr) can trigger the ban.
I think that some people might have accidentally used some of those words through messaging whether they are buying or selling.
But anyway why would you even be on Fiverr if you want to offer quality services?
You could go somewhere else to offer your services.
