Have You Ever Been SCAMMED Online? Share Your Experience by bizfirst: 8:39pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
No one loves the reality of winding up at the receiving end of a scam or an online fraud. Sadly, we sometimes (despite exercising caution and due diligence) fall victim to these frauds. Most of the time, like rape, we do not report - and the fraudster gets away with the crime. And keeps on. Let's change the narrative. If you have ever been at the receiving end of an online fraud - either locally or internationally, let's hear your story! If you know the identity of the fraudster, kindly share it too so that others will learn from you and avoid falling victim. Who'll go first?! |

This is something I'm highly afraid of happening. I will teach myself to double, triple and quadruple check on anything pertaining spending online. I do not want to become a victim. Last last I'll use the internet for knowledge building and nothing else to avoid such an occurrence. |

meobizy: Smart guy However, are you not afraid of losing out on some legit offers (that would prove game changers) in the process? |

bizfirst:No. At all. You’ve seen an individual deprive him/herself of a good thing because of anger, right? I am ready to bear the full consequence of missing out on a free offer because I originally mistook it for a scam. Whatever pain I feel from such instance is minute compared to the mental and physical anguish one goes through from getting successfully scammed. If the offer was legitimate to begin with I wouldn’t doubt it for a second. As such the company should blame itself for not making its terms and conditions clear to laymen. |

meobizy: If you do full time online business, sending online is inevitable. Escrow can only help curtail the scam rate |
