I've been scammed!!! Big time....any words of advise or encouragement?

This is a troll thread. Nobody falls for this crap.

 

You are reading correctly, but in order to sue, you have to find the person that took the money...........

 

The one I feel for was the first I had ever read. After I was in over my head was when I decided that I needed to look into it. I had no idea these scammers were out there. Plus it didn't start out like a normal 'scam' email. It started out from a guy asking if I was interested in a Real Estate Business Opportunity.
I have definately learned my lesson. I could have been taken for a lot more though.

 

That sounds like a troll post to me..

People do fall for all sorts of crap..

 

Wow, I am sorry you got scammed. I thought these email scams were common knowledge. Just like the 'You've won the lottery' even though you never entered it. And I often get ' Update your PayPal details' messages. The funniest I saw recently was for a pharmacy, offering drugs for every ailment - even stuff that has no cure.

 

Be careful about people from other countries as well, I constantly have things popping up in my email from the UK or Australia lottery. First it might be like, really i won?! then its wait a minute.... i didn't enter. scammers!! lol

 

I just delete ANY email (scam/spam or not) coming from someone I don't know !
