You need to learn from your mistake it's not nice to get scammed at all you need to know when the app is legit and when not it's kinda easy when you do your reasearch

I was scammed once. The item I ordered online was not the item I ordered. I stop buying items online to avoid the same problem.
Oh i can imagine, how did you do it? Where you able to get your money back? This is why if at all anyone wants to buy something online, it has to be pay on delivery, so by the time you get what you did not ordered your money is still safe.

There is evident a rise in the number of scamming websites online. So after being scammed what do you normally do
There is usually little that a victim of a scam can do. This is mainly because PTP sites operate under the cloak of anonymity provided by the internet.
I thus guess that a victim of a scam should simply learn his lesson and move forward with increased vigilance.

I usually, after being deceived, immediately move on, take valuable lessons, and be more careful in the future, so I don't experience the same thing again. I've been through that so now I'm very careful.

After being scammed when I just started in the online space, I found out that the scammer left no trace and couldn't be tracked since I have limited information about it.i left it but I learnt my lesson.

We cannot do much and need to remember this and take this as a lesson and should move forward with more caution and stop trusting strangers online because mostly they scam us

Yes we cannot do much in it and should try to learn from our mistakes because if we keep making mistakes then it won't be good for us in the long run.

I got scammed once. It was painful, but I had no choice but to move forward. LOL. Now I am more cautious about websites. Before joining, I read reviews and look for payment proofs.

For me l think the best thing to do after you got scammed, is to take caution and be more vigilant and avoid such things to happen in your life again.

Lol I can relate with this on several levels. In most cases, there is literally nothing you can do but to just simply move on and learn from the mistakes you made before.

At first, it was not easy to accept that I was scammed but after some days, I realized that it was also my fault for not being keen. I was to blame for the scam that I experienced 4 months ago.

Recently I was the victim of scam from metro97, as they get our investment given only few profit, then suddenly closed the site and run away. I started immediately telling people about this scam site so other may remain safe, and other will be careful for future too.

As painful as it might sound, the truth of the matter is that majority of the times we are the ones to be blamed for being scammed. Most times we let our emotions get the best of us that we fail to make proper research.

Business online is getting worse by the day. there are so many scammers and this day the item I ordered last week arrived. It was a smartwatch only to see it was made in China and it never functioned. I am scammed again. I am hard-headed.

Since it is difficult to recover money from scammer websites, complaining about the websites is one way to get some satisfaction. I have also got a website shut down for cheating me of $0.5.
