Fiverr

I reached out to a freelancer who claimed to be a trademark attorney. I even asked for her name and bar number.

Once she provided that and it showed active, I contracted her to file a trademark application. Where things got weird is she stated that while her fee is paid via Fiverr, the $350 fee for the USPTO filing would have to be paid to her so she could process the application. She sent payment info to my email, which she knew because it was provided as part of the application. When the name didn't match hers, she stated it was her colleague.

Suspicious, I posted the PayPal payment details in the Fiverr chat. She claimed she had to confirm the PayPal payment details before she would pay the application fee on her credit card and that only she could do that because she had the account with USPTO. After paying, I immediately received a confirmation of filing. I actually was relieved.

The next day, scammers were immediately calling my phone and email. She even reached out again to my direct email, which she knew because she filed the application, to assure me all was okay and ask if I wanted to file another patent. I told her if I needed further assistance, I would contact her through Fiverr. A few weeks later, after numerous scam attempts, I got a message from the real USPTO office that my application was rejected for non-payment.

(They only contacted me because I had set up an online account and filed my provisional patent a week prior.) I contacted USPTO and was told the payment submitted was disputed, so the application was VOID. So she has my $350, and while it appears she has filed, the application for the trademark is rejected for non-payment. I opened a ticket with Fiverr and a dispute with PayPal. I got a message that someone would contact me shortly and multiple requests for status with no response to my ticket, which is still open.

The 800 number reported for customer service is incorrect and is not Fiverr, so I am in limbo. PayPal will not refund the $350 sent to the freelancer who claimed it was for the government fee, and I have received no response even on the $105 I paid to her for the filing through Fiverr. I contacted the MO Bar Association and I have been advised to contact the Complaints Chief for an investigation. I also contacted USPTO and will be filing a complaint per the FTC.

After reading the reviews, there are people who have written that Fiverr is riddled with scammers and they don't do much to help. I hope that is not true because I have used their service successfully many times but will never use it again if they don't resolve this issue. I am going to find out if this attorney is part of this scam or if her identity has been stolen. I don't think the person who filed my application is an attorney at all, but if she is, she needs to be disbarred.

I plan to file a complaint with the FTC and the MO Complaints Chief office.

They did provide the address for the attorney, but I am still waiting for Fiverr to respond. He told me there is no customer service phone number that I can call.

My first foray into using Fiverr was an absolute disaster, marked by subpar service and a complete lack of professional competence. Despite multiple attempts to resolve issues with my project, getting support from an actual human was impossibleresponses were automated, unhelpful, and delayed.

Its clear that customer satisfaction is not a priority, and there is no accountability for freelancers who fail to deliver.

This entire ordeal has been a frustrating waste of both time and money. I strongly advise potential users to consider other more reliable services where customer support and quality are taken seriously.

What else is there to say about jayamali234, chaspendelton is the only one saying jayamali234 is one of the best beta readers and when he isnt strictly hiring MOSTLY females to beta read, his website is full of pictures of underage girls. Class act he is, dont listen to anything he says.

62 year old man with a south Asian crush(shes even flirting with him on his page). Its obvious he has a preference with sellers its not just about whos the best.

Chaspendelton also paid people to review his book on goodreads to appear like he has some authority on this matter, his book is the farthest thing from a best seller and stats are horrible, despite what he thinks he doesnt have any say so in anything, his stats and reviews are either a fabrication or extremely poor. Chaspendelton is simply a 62 year old, STRUGGLE writer.

Your resume consultant Mary D. committed fraud on my resume and jeopardized my chance of obraining a position at the Veteran Administration.

She put stuff on my resume that is not true like working for the Veterans Affairs in Jamaica and working in Auudiology at aanother Veterans Affairs in Boston. I have never lived in Boston or Jamaica.
None of the information on my history of employment and where i lived at the time is not on any of the resumes i have done are not on what she did for me. She used careers i never have had before. I want my money back where i paid her up fron for LinkedIn.

I told her i will pay her luttle by little until its paid.

She hasnt started that so i want my money back. I have proof of everything.
Thank you,
Please call me at 850-517-****
Thank you,

I had a Fiverr account many years ago and hired many freelancers to help with editing, proofreading, formatting. I would now like to use my own editing, writing and proofreading skills to be hired for jobs.

I've tried 3 times to take photos of front and back of my drivers license so I can be verified. But the system says each time that it's failed.
Please let me know how this can be corrected. My old website (now taken down) was EditWizard4U.com. I took a job at Northwestern University's library instead of working online, but now would like to do editing and writing.

Is there another way to have my ID accepted?
My old email was heidi@***.com.

That no longer exists. I am now at these: hads31@***.com and hads31@***.com.
Thank you for any help in processing my drivers license so I can then upload my resume.
Best,
Heidi Walter

First off, there is no telephone number in the Fiverr website to contact customer service. Secondly, the number listed in Google is apparently not correct either according to the person that I spoke to at PissedConsumer.

I wanted to make a customer complaint against Mariam_Smith (@mariam_resume1) a "Recruiter" on the Fiverr website unscrupulous business practices.

I don't believe that they were who they said they are (scammer). Not only that, but I paid for 2 services (resume/cover letter and LinkedIn profile update) at $50 each for both services, but she kept trying to sell me more services that I didn't want. She was extremely pushy and would not give me enough time to review the horrible resume and cover letter she wrote. I logged into my LinkedIn page, and they are sending messages to other LinkedIn subscribers under my profile, who are also "Open to Work", trying to build their connections but making it appear like I am the recruiter.

I can only assume to scam them as well.

I have requested a refund for the LinkedIn profile update because I no longer trust them to do what I paid for, plus my resume and cover letter that was returned to me was full of errors.

My current resume and cover letter was better than what they prepared. Needless to say, I will NOT be using Fiverr services again nor will I recommend them.

I ordered a gig on April 21, 2025, from Joven Quintos for provisional patent drawings. Order #FO82E0604C546.
I needed 5 drawings. I explained to Joven initially I needed 5 drawings of items for a PP. He quoted $280, which I thought was for the 5 drawings. After he completed, I then asked where the rest was. He explained to me that it was only 1 drawing with 5 drawing angles. I explained there’s no reason I would have ordered or paid that amount for 1 item drawing. I requested to cancel, but Joven stated that a portion of my money would be returned. I'm asking Fiverr, why? I don't want the service and have decided to pursue another creator. Please cancel the mentioned order, ASAP, because my time ends today.
I've spent hundreds of dollars with Fiverr over time. How do we move forward?
I do not want to be charged for a service ($295) for something I do not want or need.
Kindest regards,
Greg Newell
