    Scheme scammed me out of $20. I'm not one to be an angry person, so I didn't really do anything. I offered to pay him half of the first 3 months and $20 upfront if he taught me, and he missed out on about $300 scamming that $20 :p

    I have gotten scam for coding a template -- not actually scam but the job was done for 2.1 and I wanted 3.1 at the time. Anyway, he wanted an extra 15$ bucks to get it coded for 3.1 plus I gave him a great looking template for free for the original deal.

    I have got scammed a couple of time for paying for ebooks.Also these people do not send you an itrader, even if you would wish them to send. They just take your money and dissapear.Mostly they are the one with hardly any post counts nor iTrader in their kitty. I have learned my own lessons.

    I've been quite fortunate - haven't been scammed yet but I've had a few sellers drag their feet over items I have bought. I do wish people would have the good grace to deliver the goods quickly once I've paid them - I always do so.

    There are some scammers there so it's best to watch out for them and avoid them. As longs as you are careful you should be fine. It doesn't matter where there's money there is always likely to be some sort of scamming / fraud happening.
