Have you ever been Scammed online?

[nikon]

I have seen that lots of internet banking and payment fraud are there in the internet world. Have you ever been scammed by someone?

There are hundreds, or even thousands, of scam sites and emails floating about, hiding amonst the legitimate. Separating them can be an absolute nightmare, and sure enough some people do get caught. In these days its maybe a good idea to be a bit cynical and wary of these things, the nigerian scam, buying into get rich schemes. Basically if it sounds to good to be true it proably is.

Maybe because of my attitude, I have not been scammed, at least not yet!!

So true... I personally recommend doing a search on the site before purchasing from it. In most cases its not that hard to find dirt on a site if someone has been scammed from them before.

Basically if it sounds to good to be true it proably is.

Well I am enough lucky that I am not doing too much work with newbies and also working with reputed sites where almost 0% chance to be scammed.

I haven't been scammed yet, but you never know what will happen. Of course one has to be careful about what he does and where he signsup on the internet but I think none of us are 100% 'bulletproof'

I must say I spend not small amount of money online but I wouldn't say i'm scammed...although not all of them making me money but at least, there are money making money potentials but just most of them are not from me, so i think of it that way, spending money online is a necessary learning phrase, as time goes by, you could tell from a sale page what is or what is not for you...so, you would spend your money wiser from then on
