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?
Ever been scammed online by anyone?

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.

I have read a lot about MMM, but I didn't invest on it. I know of a couple that splitted after they lost their money in MMM.
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.

Those scammers give one a very high hope that you can fall victim to as long as you are a greedy person.
It was the biggest scam we have seen in our age here.

So sorry it happened to you. This is something that I can't easily deal with at all.
Well, I learnt my lessons in harsh way.

Lessons that make us better. I never fall into such scam before though.
You're lucky to have been spared by all the rubbish.

I was lucky that I didn't have enough money to invest then, lol.
Haha, now that's a good one. Being broke saved you lol.

I was damn broke that I couldn't believe people lost so much then.
Your financial situation then was a blessing in disguise.

Or maybe a curse. I might have gained and pulled out my funds before the crashing.
