I posted this on another forum, still relevant:
I wanted to share my experiment with this junk.
Let me start of by explaining that I was not looking for any "PR" jumps, or links from "Hight PR Sites" or any "dofollow" links (whatever any of that even means.) This was purely an experiment that I used on one of my sites that doesn't do much, rank well for queries, or produce any conversions.
At first, I looked for the absolute biggest "red flag"
Fiverr junk listing I could find. I found it, and purchased it for a mere $5 (it was worth it so I could come on the SEO and marketing forums and allow others to laugh.)
Anyway, turns out it wasn't what they claimed (is anyone shocked???)

I purchase. Wait 3 days for the order to process. And some how, it was done in a matter of 30 min! I was amazed anyone could manually build 150+ back links that fast! These are high quality too! I was for sure going to #1 on Google!!! Well turns out, it was spam. And not only that, but he gave me a BONUS 300 links!!! Wow what a guy!
I did what everyone in that crappy posting should have done and left him bad reviews. The poster instantly freaks out because this is how he feeds his family through good Fiverr postings, yadda yadda yadda.
A part of his 5 private messages he sends me, he offers this:

I am not asking for positive feedback, just to have it removed thats all,
Nobody wins with the negative review on there,

So that's my story. If you are a novice and believe this is 'SEO' well, uhh... not sure what to tell you other than learn what SEO actually is. If you're a link builder/marketer, (i'm sure you already know this) stay away from Fiverr!!
