I've read news about people getting scammed online. I've not had such experience, but sometimes I wonder how people feel scamming people online. Have you ever been scammed?
 
It almost happened to me on Discogs (basically EBay for physical music). I thought it was fine because he had almost 5 stars and a few hundred sales. He ghosted on me, and on Discogs, if a seller doesn’t respond for a certain amount of days, they’re banned from the marketplace. So I reported it, and his account was banned. Magically I got an update pretty quickly with a tracking number.

Wow! That's strange seeing someone got a 5 star and trying to scam someone. This is why I don't like making some purchases on the internet.
 
Not really, despite tons of million dollar give away emails sitting in my spam folder lol.
 
Those are totally legit, idk what you’re talking about. I got an email saying I’m related to a Nigerian prince, so I’m gonna be rolling in dough soon.

The psychological twist most of these guys use is funny. I just can't deal at all.
