Ever been scammed?

[Naiwen]

I have been scammed personally some years ago, by a jewelry online company on Instagram. It has seemed so real and authentic, but don’t fall for it. Why? Because more often than no, they are scammers adv on social medi. I’d p for the shipping fees and they’d send me 3 pieces of jewelry for free. I have ordered a bracelet, a necklace and a ring. They have come one month late. Plus, on their packaging,, it’s been saying “Forever 21”. So not authentic and they were missing my bracelet and they have replaced my necklace with a pair of earrings. So they were just drop shipping from others.

I have been scammed as a music producer. A guy met me online and contacted me to make a beat for him. He refused payment saying that he didn't like the beat. Only for him to release the track months with the exact same beat and nothing unchanged.

I have only been scammed by an earning site. I got to payout but didn't get paid but I have moved on and doing well with other sites now so no regrets

I am lucky that I have never been scammed. I do not join sites which require members to pay to join. I am careful with offers which sound too good to be true.

 

[cherry123]

Yes some people have had the luck that they have never gotten scam all their lives. They are always careful with offers online especially those that sound too good to be true.

Well, I have not been scammed while shopping online but I have been scammed by investment sites (HYIP) and earning sites. I once lost $1300 on a site. They did not pay me for the work I did for them.

Almost everyone has once fallen victim of scammers in one way or the other, mind was when just starting to earn online, I invested in a ponzi scheme then it crashed just days after I invested in it and wasnt able to take anything out of it.

This is why it is always good to avoid any investment that sounds too good to be true. We need to start trusting out instincts when we feel it is too good to be true it might just be it

I have been scammed on several occasions before though, and i must say it was not a pleasant experience, but then again the experience taught me a lot and i do not think i would be making that same mistake again.

I have never been scammed before via buying goods or services. I have only focused on doing due diligence on basic aspects of every deal that I want to do to reduce the chances of being scammed.

Yes, I had experienced being scammed through my email. I received a message and clicked the link. Some of my money was stolen from my bank. It was a big lesson for me not to fall in phising scam type through email.

I have fallen prey to a scam before. It was one of those "get-rich-quick" schemes that a friend had recommended to me. At first, everything seemed to be working out well. I received my payment promptly for the first few times. However, after a while, the money stopped coming in, and I realized that I had been scammed. Unfortunately, I never received the rest of the money that was owed to me.

 

[Stardom22]

lts my hopes that almost everyone working Online has been scammed. That's because there are more scammers online.

 

[Ratine]

There are so many ways that the online scammers use nowadays to scam the people. The advertisers and marketers are number one scammers in my country.
