Have you ever been Ripped Off / Scammed?



When I first got on the net in 2001 with my first website, I got scammed over $5000 USD with paypal reverse payments. I have a traffic hits website which supplied traffic to people, they paid me via paypal, I delivered the hits, the a few weeks later they would write an email to paypal saying someone had fraudulently used their paypal account ... in other words "they would pay me for the goods, I delivered, then they wrote to paypal and got their money back and the goods for free!"



I learnt the hardway! Be very wary guys!

Thus is the nature of the internet nowadays... and its even worse... don't use paypal except for small amounts you don't mind risk losing.

yea via paypal for a domain name, funny thing is, the whois was in that persons name, with their email address, and all their details, as it was not a physical good, I managed to have it reversed.
