Hello Fiverr sellers. I have just discovered that two of my gigs were STOLEN by other sellers!
I was leisurely looking on the Fiverr homepage at the "New and Noteworthy" section. After looking for only a few seconds, I was pleasantly surprised to see my gig featuring my bunnies! However, I thought it was odd that my gig was in that section because that gig isn't new. It was then that I noticed that this gig wasn't posted by me! It was posted by someone else! I immediately clicked on the gig to see what was going on! Sure enough, this user had stolen MY picture of MY bunnies! He also copied MY gig title, and MY gig description verbatim!! I was sooo angry!
I immediately contacted customer support. They were so helpful. I got a reply in only 5 minutes! The girl that was helping me, Jenny, said that she would get this taken care of right away. I then proceeded to send the gig-thief a not-so-nice message! :P
If all this wasn't bad enough, right after I thought was done with this whole ordeal, I went back to the "New and Noteworthy" section. I didn't have to look for more than a second, and I saw another of my gigs! It was my gig featuring my dog-- And you guessed it! The gig wasn't posted by me!
I went through the same process of contacting CS (very helpful again), and sending a strongly worded message to the seller.
I'm posting this discussion to let other sellers know that their gigs may be being stolen. Watch out for that! Copy your gig titles and paste them into the search bar every once in a while to make sure that your gigs aren't being stolen by other users! Or, if you have the time and patience, watch the "New and Noteworthy" section for a few minutes.
This stealing really upset me, so I want to make sure that it doesn't happen to anyone else. If, by the way, you are considering buying either of these gigs "5 HD pics of your message with my adorable bunnies" or "5 HD pictures/ photos of your message with my adorable puppy dog", please make sure that you're buying them from CASSYSAILERMOON. Anyone else who offers these gigs have stolen them from me.
I would tell you guys the user names of the thieves, but that's not allowed. However, note that both gig-thieves joined only a few hours ago, and the gig they stole from me was their only gig. They also had no feedback, sales, or profile picture. I'm guessing that it is the same person using different accounts to scam people.
Thanks for reading and good luck selling, Cassy :)
