What's The Worst Scam You Ever Fell For As A Newbie?

Me personally, Once back in 04 I fell for thee dumbest scam! For $500 all I had to do was install this software on my cpu that automatically place ads or something dumb like that LOL All I had to do was push the button and watch the money come flying in!!

Good thing I didn't hold my breath LOL!! Maybe this thread might help up and coming new starters in this business and if not hey maybe we can all gain a laugh outta this here LOLOL!! God Bless you all!

 

You do not have to be a newbie to fall for scams. Heard on the news that this guy fell for that old, send me your money car scam....
Hot looking car forsale for $5,000 - guys wires $5,000k - moneys gone, car doesnt exist, end of story.

What was this guy thinking sending $5k over a wire to someone that he did not know.....?

even today people fall for scams of all types, from young to old....

 

you talk with somebody online, you build a relation, and it seems very real. so yes, I was very surprised to realize that the person was actually being nice only because he wanted my money and to scam me

 

I've never been scammed for that type of money.

I've never been scammed, just hacked - but I've used these lessons to do better things, and toughen up my security. Scams are easily preventable this days - so how you been scammed since?

 

No not since and there was a long story and bad circle of influence behind that scam! not i personally but still was my money lol!! I feel like most people, including me that get scammed are on the prowl for something for nothing!!! the end up with nothing for something LOL!!! Nothing will ever beat good ol fashion work ethic!! Now Leverage is a whole other topic! I definitely recommend using leverage! )

 

and crazy enough! As old as these scams are people still fall victim every hour! wow!

 

I lost my $900 when i start my IM journey in 2009 feb, I was total new to IM so i hire some one to teach me about this, he took $900 from me for one week class

 

Never been scammed. Been hacked when I was younger though.

 

Thank you for being honest!! Obviously you have what it takes you didnt let it stop you! What advice can you give to someone that maybe going thru this now?

 

I was once scamed for 99$. I bought an e-book back in 2006 that teaches how to make money online. and the only thing writted over there was that i would make money if i referr my friends to buy this e-book. lol

 

LOL thats sucks!! So many of those out there! Im glad you didnt let it stop you

 

There is no short cut to get success in internet marketing, we need lot of effort, pain, and work hard to get it. Forget about shortcuts or quick cash. There is no shortcut. What does exist is leverage. btw i got my first check $200 from CB last night, finally i made around $700 there with SEO

 

The only way to shortcut it, is if you have friends that are owners of big sites and they're willing to help.

 

You are correct!! I was just speaking about leverage! That is awesome, your success with CB Keep up the great work! For anyone who maybe hasn't experienced this kind of success yet any advice you want to leave behind before this post gets swallowed up by the system lol?

 

So true! That's why predatory lenders are able to exist in the first place... people trying to get something they really shouldn't have, end up getting screwed 9/10 times

 

You are absolutely right!

 

I haven't been scammed of money to the point that I couldn't get it back. I think the closest thing were a few "services" that even though I marked that I didn't want a subscription, charged me the next month anyways.

 

Yes this does happen too! Good thing in those cases you usually can get your money back! )

 

A crazy hosting software I used when I start out my online business.

 

buying "money button" 95$
