Anyone Been Scammed on DP

    I am just curious to know if anyone else besides me has been scammed from someone on DP and what can be done if anything.

    I guess you live, learn, and move on.

    You have to be cautious about certain deals.

    It should be "learn, live, move on" :) I haven't been scammed ( once I was very close to it but .. I was too smart :D ) just because of "learn - do" method .. before doing something, learn how to avoid mistakes ( in this case, geting scammed ).

    there are lot of scammers on DP.

    one way to change things is to use iTrader.

    many people don't give negative feedback to scammers in fear of getting the same in return.

    this allows scammers to operate for a longer period.

    on a personal level, I feel one should do bigger deals with only established members.

    Yea it not a big deal, but when that scammer get 100 people. That $2000 that almost half a month of earning.

    Got scam on a video website, found out that the website have a rank of a few million after being scam.
    Contact clickbank and got my $50 back ;)

    Never joining anything with a rank of over 100k

    Cheers,
