N875, 000.

Lesson: I'd never have an understanding with someone without having it written as a signed legal agreement.

A trend in most spill-outs on the thread, same as mine but #220000, no matter how friendly we are NO Monetary DEAL without documentation and signature proof, not to say one can't still get burnt even after having documented evidence but it would be easier to prove.

May God save us from unfriendly wolves posing as cool sheeps.

$1,200 on an investment I should not have made in the first place 2 years ago. Of course will never try such an investment again.

My biggest loss was $75 when I intended buying ssn,socks and other online tools to create an Amazon dropship account from a particular darkweb site.I paid in bitcoins and got scammed.

I have learnt my lessons tho,I didn't relent I had to research more by buying more ebooks on better ways to access the market and how to identify legit vendors there.

As at today am a master on the darkweb.

Congratulations boss..
Will love to learn too..
Can I mail u?

My normal way has always been to document my agreements and have them notarized and left with my lawyer but that time I made the mistake of putting friendship above business

Keeping to the terms of an agreements means little or nothing to an average Nigerian. Do not rely on it alone.

Las Las nobody is perfect. you must at one time in your life spend or loose money on frivolities. but the one I'm always careful is spending money on a gal not related to me. my conscience Dy beat me for that one, because anytime I wan mumu, my mind will call me to order. I remembered when I wanted to give a gal 5k for hair after winning 24k for bet, my mind now told me to call my mom and I did and I asked if she needed anything and she said no and I just asked her to send her account number for me to check something and I transferred 7k to her. I'm not wicked or stingy, just that some heartbreaking stories I read everyday online Dy vex me.

Lost almost 1.4 million in a 6 month period trying to chase my losses in betting. Money was not even mine. The wonderful woman forgave me and gave me time to pay back. Been feeling depressed but I have to pay her back no matter what. Please gambling is dangerous. A tough lesson in my life

I quit betting 4yrs ago but last year December I was just scrolling thru Twitter then a noticed a guy who called himself king of 2odds, I saw series of his tweets on betting and I was tempted to give betting a try again. I had 15k in my acct which was the little money I have gathered for my school house rent. I played Liverpool over 1.5, then Man City 1.5 but fucking Liverpool played 1.0.OMG!! I nearly committed suicide that day
lol na Akan oo that calls himself K of 2odds, i had my own share of the loss when i paid for the premium whatsapp group with part of my school fees, i later asked the dude to refund me half of the premium grp money, he kept posting me till date

I lost 755k to an ex some years back...
He claimed he was into real estates and property
Not knowing he was just in the relationship for some selfish reasons I had no forsight of because yeah I was so gullible and stupid enough not to have paid attention to all the signs around coupled with the fact he always kept his family life and background personal.

Lesson learnt: Avoid investing into any sort of relationship if you have any atom of doubt and always get your fact right about anyone irrespective of the love you have or share together.
Humans can be so unpredictable

You mean you gave a boyfriend such amount of money?
Well...Hope you indeed learnt your lesson.

I Lost N550k which suppose to form part of my Wedding expenses, it was given to me by my boss for a job well done last year, but i lost it all in the name of investment. I wish have listen to my inner mind, she is my ex now though coz she thought i was not serious with the wedding plan. i learnt to be contended with what i have at sometime, it will define you when the time comes.
