Have you fallen for a scam site before?

The only scam site that I worked for was nnu. That site was bad when it came to scamming us to make posts and get paid.

It was the most popular forum aside nairaland then. I don't know what happened to it. The admins would have restructured it so it'll still be beneficial till today.

When am starting newly, I was scammed by a HYIP site. Since then, I developed a hatred for HYIP and all ponzi schemes. Honestly, I will not invest online again in my life.

 

[hastral45]

Yes. I have fallen into a lot of them. They look so real. RIP to all the money I've lost

It is common to fall into scams when you are into online business. Even those that are into offline businesses equally fall in the hand of fraudsters as well.

 

[Afeefah]

Yes, I got scammed a lot before I learned how to avoid sites like that.
Almost everyone who wants to earn money online gets scammed once or more.

Yes, I've been scammed many times online and offline in my life. One remarkable experience is when I invested to a company that will let you earn by investing on their piggery farm. I got to experience to set foot on their office in a building for few times, only to find out that one day, they were no longer operating on that prestige building.

That's sad. I never heard of such a way of investment. Have you done something like suing them?

Powerful government agencies are openly involved in financial fraud on some online business owners in some countries and the fraud victims do not get any help at all.

Hahaha, even payment proofs can be easily edited. The best is to check independent reviews to see what other members are saying about the platform.

You are right. I think the best place to see real reviews is on forum websites

Yes, reviews from old members are usually the best way to know if a platform is a scam or not. That's what saved me from several platforms then.

That is why forum is the best place to see real reviews because they do pay some members to write reviews for them

Yes, you're right even play store reviews are compromised these days because members get incentives for rating apps high on play store.

 

[hastral45]

I have been scammed many times so far. This is disappointing and unfair to all the innocent victims and me.

This is not strange. Scamming is inevitable in online business. You can't do without it. One just need to be careful of it.

 

[Passiveearner]

Hahaha, I remember when I started out. It was a similar experience. I had to invest my hard earned money into it thinking of a better future only to be scammed.

Yes, there are many people who invest in such kind of hyip sites and they think that these sites will help them to manage their future. But this is quite far away from the truth for sure.

 

[SHAHID987]

Almost all of us get experience of scam sites. One new scam they started as when you join they'll not inform you about withdrawal terms and condition and when you try to withdraw they say to first upgrade then you'll be able to withdraw.

These frauds are not rare and these things are reported daily to police and cyber cell because these days many people are involved in the scam

Correct. We must be very careful. Fortunately, we can ask the members here to share their knowledge with us about a certain site.

Yes that was what we thought then only to be played. Some also think they can play smart by investing early and cashing out only to have their capital trapped.

 

[hastral45]

I have experienced many fake websites before. I have experienced on faucet websites, hyip websites, forum websites and many more.

The worst of all these scam sites are hyip, forums, investments, just mention them. One just need to be careful when dealing on online business.

Even some crypto projects are Hyip scams in disguise. Most of them do public sale only to either rug or dump on Investors. It's a wild world out there.

Yeah. And the authorities has a lot to investigate on, that's why some of the cases are taking years. Thus, many scammers got away with it.
