    Yes, me too got scammed online once. It is just few days old matter. I designed a banner for someone and the client took the banner and ran away :(

    I should have watermarked it.

    I hope this thing will never happen ever again.

    A few times actually.

    The latest was when I had a web developer that was supposed to send me his clients for web hosting. I paid him money for one and lost hte money. His client never came that I am aware of. He stopped responding as well and I never recieved a refund.

    I've been scammed mostly by Paid to read programs...

    I've joined over 50 PTR last few years, but only 3 of them really paid.:mad:
