    Creepy, hopefully, everyone will not scam other as they themselves dont want to be scammed either right? But KARMA is just around... :D

    Once and never again, only a small amount but still scammed. I'm extremely cautious who I deal with now.

    Just once. I helped another writer out and then she disappeared without giving me my share of the payment.

    Once on an article that did not pass copyscape.

    I almost got scammed pretty good the other day but got a negative vibe when the "seller" could not provide recent c-panel stats-- another member figured out that he was selling a website that did not belong to him http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1185326

    0 times. I've only done business with someone I met on here once, and everything went smoothly. Hopefully it stays that way, but then I'm very cautious.

    I've honored a few guarentee claims where I felt like I was being scammed by keeping my word.

    I sometimes worry that people think I'm trying to scam them.
    I've occasionally contacted people I've previously done business with about new business only to have them tell me they were unhappy about something with the last transaction, though they never contacted me about their problem.
    I can't help if I don't know there's a problem. :)

    I have felt not 100% satisfied from some dealings here but would not go as far to say I've been scammed.

    not yet, but came close a few times LOL.

    but i don't really buy or sell things here, i am here mostly to learn, if there's any.

    if not, i would just stay away LOL

    great topic though

    2 times and on same day . First I delivered them products with payment information than I as waiting for payment . After two days when I came back I saw both of them were banned for a scam and i got scammed automatically because they didn't replied my IM after getting banned on dp .But I don't care about all those scams because what I have learned on DP is much more costly than those bucks .
