Oh , sad to know it. So did you get your money back? Did you complain about it to the company?

No, I did not get back my money. It is useless. They will never return my money.They are virtual people hard to convince. I learned a lesson out of it.
 
Scammers are always finding ways to outsmart us and since they are professional they are able to outsmart us on many occasions

I don't trust people online because of this reason. It's hard to get your money back from a person when you don't know about this person.

That's true, it would be very hard to get your money back. The most important thing is that you where able to learn something from it and I believe you won't make the same mistakes next time.
 
When I started this online earning journey, I used to pay money to supposed earning platforms that would just go mute after my payment. I have also been scammed when trying to find a sugar mummy online.

I am always a victim of online scamming. I have a phobia. My money is not a stone so the only remedy to avoid this is never to buy online again.

The sellers keep on telling people about money-back guarantee but they never fulfill their promise. That is the problem with buying virtual products and sellers.
 
Online world is full of risks and you don't experience it at some point and then it depends upon your intelligence and luck if you fall prey to it or not
 
Of course yes. I have fallen for an online scam for multiple times. Mostly through the HYIPs investment sites.
 
Sadly, I was recently scammed. Earlier this year, I was looking for a specific wrist watch, every major store was sold out of this model and amazingly I found it on an online jewelry store, full of reviews and to me it looked 100% legit, so made my purchase using paypal. A few moments later, I received a message from PayPal that I had been signed up to a daily payment plan of the full price of my new wrist watch! I was soooo pissed, and scared that these people were going to take advantage of me. I reached out to paypal and reported this incident and was eventually able to cancel these illegal transactions.
 
My latest scam was so bad, I purchased online a watch and cellular [phone. I trusted the seller but the items were fake. They delivered a plastic toy watch and a plastic bottle instead of a cellular phone. I was lucky the rider understood me and returned my money.
 
You were fortunate, @Scorpion, that you were able to get your money back. I have never been scammed online. One of the reasons is that I mostly purchase things offline. I don't like online shopping except when I don't have time or when I get the item at a lower price than offline.
 
It's tough to keep ourselves safe from any such scam but we should try to stay careful and don't fall for their trap
 
Yes I have been a victim once and I learned from that so it's very dangerous now a days
 
I have been a online victim once but I have learned from it
 
I have experienced this earlier and it was all because of my mistake and I feel I should not have trusted the person blindly
 
It happened several times because I am not very experienced in online payments, and therefore, several times I believed scammers who pretended to be well-known companies and sent them a prepayment
 
Oh yes i have been a victim of online scam when i am at the age of adolescent and i have learn from it

Yeah i have ever across it because there was a day i come across some one who is willing to cheat me but with god help i was able to know and run a way from him and tell him that what is trying to do is not good

Whenever I see some easy money or something too good to be true, I can smell that something is fishy there. I choose to stay away from such things. I have a very low risk appetite and try to play safe. Yes, a couple of times, I have joined the site and lost little money because they closed or stopped payment.
