    I say its your fault for thinking that "making $800/per hour" threads could actually be real.

    Post the name of scammers, please.

    I invested $50 in this thread, and not getting paid. I think, that's going to be placed under scams, very soon.

    Look closer at my post, I said I've lost -$2000. Note the negative in front of the $2000" :)

    I haven't lost anything :)

    Moderators/admins don't get involved in members' business. We can only advice you to be very careful when you deal with other members. If something sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.

    I can’t believe people actually buy into some of the BS on here. Especially money making scams.

    OK, If someone is making $7000 a month why are the on the Internet all day trying to scrounge a few bucks off of selling there secret?

    They are full of BS and they are poor and willing to work all week long just for the hope of scamming a sucker who is naive enough to send them money.

    If someone is making $100,000 a year are they really going to be on DP all day long try to scam a few bucks?

    NO they will be busy making real money or playing golf.

    Most people come to DP to make money, but end up losing it. Best idea is just never to spend any money at all.

    I personally never make huge purchases here on DP because there is no liability on the sellers part. However, I think the vast majority of sellers here are honest individuals.

    So you wern't scammed - just sold methods that used to work and no don't.

    Here's a tip - don't buy these crappy get rich quick ebooks. Invest time and money in something useful like affiliate marketing :)

    But those who get review copies used to give good reviews which really attract members to buy that product :rolleyes:

    I've maybe lost 30$ in the 3 years I've been here ;)
    Just be smart about your auctions and items your bidding on and you'll be fine
