Yes, I did. He gave excuses. I immediately submitted support request and investigation. Used the Manus method, then he made a mistake and sent me the screenshot of his spreadsheet thinking it would mean something. All it did for me is confirm duplicate titles and templates. Got initial 14-day refund, the rest of the $1,266 was escalated to a team to investigate. He went back and forth until he finally sent the message he had written for him the other day. This is what I just replied with (DO NOT COPY - IF Harlan thinks this is a good msg let him say and BE SURE TO REWRITE and take out what doesn't apply to you)... --------------START-------------- Dear Luqman & Fiverr Support, This sudden "professional" message is damage control. You weren't professional when you marked incomplete work as delivered. You weren't professional when you lied about IP freezes. You weren't professional when you told other channel owners you've never run a business and don't know what you're doing. So let's skip the performance and deal with facts. YOU VIOLATED YOUTUBE'S OFFICIAL POLICIES Not my opinion. YouTube's documented policies. Here's what you don't understand: 1. YouTube Reviews Video Titles "Video metadata (including titles, thumbnails, and descriptions)" https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1311392?hl=en Your own spreadsheet proves you copied titles from other channels. Word-for-word. That's not "topic inspiration." That's duplication. FOR FIVERR: Go to my channel, do a search for my channel's titles and you will see the other clients that the vendor duplicated and violated YouTube's policies. You will also see the original titles that already existed months and years before the vendor directly plagiarized them. 2. YouTube Prohibits Mass-Produced Templates "Mass-produced content using a similar template across multiple videos" https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1311392?hl=en#zippy=%2Cfollow-our-program-policies

Update to my update: Even though this is water under the bridge for most of us, I think you’ll enjoy this… Fiverr did not refund the remaining $1,200+. Instead, they issued Fiverr credit—which I have zero use for. And since they didn’t seem to care that their vendor violated their own terms, I decided to return the favor and violate theirs. 🤷‍♂️ Here’s what I did: - Created a vendor account - Made a Fiverr gig using Manus - Sent myself a custom order for the full amount of the Fiverr credit - Waited a few days - Approved the order - Waited out the 14-day refund window - Requested the funds to my PayPal End result: I’m only out their percentage. Kinda funny. Took less than an hour total. P.S. The gig was for an AI-generated YouTube script. Once I got paid, I removed it. I also used the attached image as the vendor profile photo purely for my own amusement—because I’m petty like that and find it hilarious that they approved it as a verified profile without realizing what I was actually telling them in the image 😂 (The image was AI-generated too. Corey S: if you see this… I think you’ll appreciate that our late-night Messenger shenanigans finally paid off 😉)
