Have You Been Scammed Online

[Nomad]

I have been scammed online multiple times. The first time I was scammed was on High Yield Investment Programs. Thankfully, I did not lose money from my pockets. I had invested on multiple HYIP, where I made substantial profits by the time the platform vanished. At the end of the day, I was able to pocket profits. However, I have lost substantial amount of money when I ended up using a fraudulent trading platform.

Yes I've been scammed once. A forum owner hired me for posting work, and when I finished everything and asked for payment, the admin started making false excuses to avoid paying me. Really frustrating to put in all that work for nothing. Now I'm way more careful about getting payment terms clear upfront.

I too fell for online scams once with a fake e-commerce site. I paid for a gadget that never arrived, and the site was down within a week. I now double-check reviews and payment security before I buy anything.

I bought a directory website once on Flippa and it was some scam. In fact, it was a bunch of criminals bidding on the site to give it "fake value". Has anyone heard of this type of con?
