Have you ever scammed someone or scammed by someone?

    As I log into the web everyday, I see bunch of scams. Some are very obvious ones like the one they say "Brand New PS 3 80 GB mystery auction for $0.99." While others are like kinda hidden, which I won't find out until I get scammed.

    I have been scammed once by my hosting; they didn't cancel my account right away and I got charged extra for 12 months...my hosting at that time was under 12 months contract.

    I have never scammed anyone and I don't plan to. :D

    What's your story?

    I don't think any scammers are going to come on this thread and confess their sins.
    They're quite dishonest you know.

    Wait until someone do that

    Never scam and get scammed simply because I don't do transaction thru the web.

    I got scammed once. I did work for someone and didn't get payed. Good job it wasn't good work :p lol it was for some flash thing I made for someone. Now I always put a component box over every flash piece I make loading an image (which isnt there) on my host, so nothing shows up, if they don't pay then I put an image up there and they wil either pay or take it down and not use it.

    People owe me so much money right now.. But I hired some goons so and taking the rest to court and if I don't win in court the goons help me collect. So things are working out. If anyone is interested I will rent my goons to you.

    We have been scammed before those guys sign up with a fake credit card they seemed to pass all the checks and verification. Luckily we found out in time and return the money to avoid a charge back. These days, I hesitate to accept payment via credit cards. Too many scammers around.

    I almost got caught in a scam before by some random company on my CC. I called the credit card company, and I opened up a dispute. Finally I won though, but I still don't know what Wow Fast Gold is?
