Have you ever been scammed when working online?

[Abigael]

I have been scammed by casino sites too. I don't know if that will be called scam but those are so tricky. You deposit some money in them, do tasks such as spin to win but you never earn anything. That is why I don't like gambling at all.

I think that's the very kind of energy that's needed for us to have while making money online. There are a lot of people that would give up hope when they get scammed a few times.

I believe almost everybody who works online has been scammed in one way or the other. But your ability to continue pushing is what really matters. Giving up will not make you successful.

That's very correct. There are so many people that do not believe in the possibility to make money online today because they were scammed online just once and they made up their minds immediately.

Yeah, being scammed has a way of really discouraging you. This is what happened to many people who don't believe in online earning. I wish they knew that there are other legit methods of earning.

I have been more vigilant about verifying and doing research on any online venture before investing any money or time. I was contacted daily by scamers , trying to get me to invest money in an online venture

I have been scammed a couple times, thankfully I knew what was going on and I caught it in time. One time I was scammed, it was more so because someone stole the work I did, writing of course, and I had to ask one of the sites to take MY content down. Some wouldn't budge, but most did.

I've never been scammed in a way where I lost too much. But there was times where I worked a job and then a buyer disappears. It's a scary feeling.

That means you have a very good mechanism that make your research effective because it is very rare to find people who are working online and not get scammed before. I have also been scammed multiple times.

That is actually very true. but the truth is that only those who are very much persistent even after encountering so many problems will be successful online. Giving up because of an incident will not make you succeed.

It's true that online scams are unfortunately common, There are a number of resources available to help protect yourself from scams, such as verifying reviews and ratings, and researching the company or individual before making any payments (HIPs),It depends on the situation and what your personal goals are. In some cases, it may be beneficial to take advantage of an opportunity, while in other cases it may be better to boycott it.

 

[Good-Person]

Yeah, this may be true but you must try to let the person know that using an escrow is a safe way of making payment. It will ensure transparency in the transaction.

Indeed, escrow service is quite safe. It allow both the parties to safely make payments and make sure that both the seller and the buyers are protected. I really wish if they could start this service worldwide.

It is a service that could have eliminated frauds on the internet but I don't think it is available worldwide. It may also be hard to get a very good escrow when you want to make transaction.

I have actually vowed not to be scammed anymore and u am actually taking action to see that it doesn't happen again. There are so many people that were ripped off their life savings online and right now, they're literally afraid of the online market.

One of the most important ways to prevent getting scammed online is by abstaining from high yield investment programs that will rip people off their hard-earned money because such programs will never offer good things.

When working online we have to take the risks in working for people we may not have worked for before and that can often lead to worry of being scammed or in the worst case, actually being scammed working online. It's never nice to be on the receiving end of being scammed online, especially when you have already put in the work and the person you did the work for just doesn't pay you.

In the past, I have been scammed at least twice by people who asked me to complete a job for them and then ignored me after the job was complete and I never received payment at all for the job I had completed. These were not small jobs either, they were quite big jobs and I felt defeated after I had been ignored and not paid after putting in the work.

Have you ever been scammed online either as the seller or the buyer? What did you do when this happened and what approach did you take to prevent it from happening again?

Even since I was scammed myself as a seller I now always tend to ask for payment upfront before I complete the order if I can so that I do not run into the same issue again, unless, of course, I have done jobs for the person in the past in which case I don't mind them paying me after the completion as I know I can trust them.

Nowadays there are many websites that give people the opportunity to earn online But there are more of these websites that waste people's money and time. I would say that before joining Forum and I website, you should give complete information about it to your friends so that you do not have any issue later.

The important way to escape scamming activities is to ensure that you carry out enough research on each and every platform that you wish to join and you should also ensure that the platforms are licensed.

I actually knew this when I started making money online. I did avoid any kind of investment platform as I didn't wait to know whether or not it's a high yield investment platform and it saved me from a lot of troubles.

I have fallen victim of high yield investment programs multiple times and the one I would never forget was when I was ripped off my hard earned money about 4 years ago. It was indeed a sad story and it was in December when I needed money mostly.

That's really very sad. I have never been a fan of doubling money because I would always ask myself that one question; if you're able to double my money his fast, how then are you too making money? Because I know you're more interested in making money for yourself than you're about me making money.

At that time there weremany people working online that were into high yield investment programs. Everyone was not really exposed to the fact that most of those programs could end up in a scam. The people that just came to working online about 3yrs ago were sensitized by those who have had the experience.

You're right about that. I have been listening to people who have come forward with their regrets and experience after they've invested in one of these scam sites. That's the more reason I made a promise not to invest anything online as a newbie.
