Have you been scammed?

[Heatman]

Scamming is getting much popular today and this is as a result of technology. Cyber crime got worst and internet fraud.

Someone can be scammed on social media platforms if you're not careful. Ponzi schemes are one of biggest ways people get scammed.

Have you ever been scammed?

I have been scammed offline once, through an MLM program, and been scammed multiple times online. These days online scams are more common compared to offline scams

I was scammed once when I was little, a friend of mine introduced me to this ponzi scheme, back then we didn't know what was ponzi scheme. All we knew it was an investment site. We both invested and hoola 😁😁 who sent us, our money was gone, sites was not reachable 😏😏. I didn't blame cause "birds of the same feather flops together"; we are in this together. It was not that much though, so wasn't painful to us.

It's way more easier to get more people to scam online than offline. A lot of people are more greedy today and that's why they fall to online scams.

I haven't been scammed online or offline yet. I follow a lot of pages where they discuss about different ways scammers use to steal from people. I know nearly all their MO to fall for it.

I have been scammed before.
I was purchasing a BTS LightStick for my collection and it never showed up.
I contacted the seller with hope it had just been delayed, but there was no reply and I never got my money back.

I have not been scammed through high yield investment programs, ponzi schemes or pyramid schemes, however, I have been scammed by trying to purchases services online. Last time I was scammed when I was buying a service from a seller on Facebook

I have been scammed in the past and it's never easy to have to go through. I ended up not getting the money back I paid for the item I ordered and I ended up chalking it up to experience and now know more of what to look for to avoid being scammed again.

I was scammed on Seoclerks by a buyer whom I used to work with. He asked for us to work off the site once because he was out of funds to deposit in his account. I did because of our past relationship, he ended up refusing to pay.

This is a mistake from you by agreeing to work off the site. It showed him you're desperate for the work. If you had told him to wait whenever he can fund his account and place an order, he will wait.

Yes, I did a lot of coding work for someone and they paid me $200-something via PayPal and later on my PayPal account was at a negative balance for the amount he paid me because he did a chargeback, which I wasn't aware was even a thing at the time.

I've been scammed on ebay once but I was lucky to get my money back because I paid with PayPal. I put a charge back on the payment which I was later refunded.
