If you do business online you must be scammed in one way or the other.
The biggest money I lost however was to crypto. I invested all the money I made in 2017 in crypto- Almost 3k usd. All the coins I bought were shit coins and lost most of their value. Las las the total money I cashout from the coins was less than $300.
Lesson: Never invest in what you dont understand.
crypto is one of the best investment you can ever think of if you invest wisely (make research on good coins) and not just jump into any coin because it’s probably cheap or something. I believe you invested in 2018. That was a bearish year for all crypto’s including bitcoin. Major coins dumped and if
You’re not patient enough you would loose ur funds. You only lost because you sold the coins. If you had left them till now you would be smiling to the bank because majority of the coins are doing well

...lost my house allowance money,450k to MMM. To pay my house rent was tug of war. I ended up borrowing another 400k to pay my house rent.
Lessons learned: no short cut to success. A lot of things on the internet, including the so-called close friends, are devils appearing as angels of light. Beware of such things/friends.

You see, I have a friend who has been into forex trading for more than 10 years

He has been asking me to invest just $500 and get 25% per month, but I refused

Do you know why?

I feel that 25% is too much for him to pay me every month.

Funnily enough, I told him that I invested N1m in another forex trading company that pays me 15%. And they have never failed me since November 2019.

The truth is, greed kills.

i agree greed kills bro.. but no be everyone getting scammed is greedy o. Make we leave am like that

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.

My story is quite similar .
I bought a Ford Mondeo for 1M from Cotonou last year August and used it on Uber/taxify ride hailing app. When the issues overwhelmed me and plunged me into debt, i resorted to begging before i could sell it off for 40% of the purchase price.
The car is high maintenance and fuel consumption is too high for a 2.0ltr engine despite changing 2 brand new oxygen sensors, brand new 4spark plugs & fuel injectors.

Too bad,it is like this nonsense is peculiar with American products

I almost got scammed with this BINOMO.. That fateful day i met the bastard on Instagram and was sending me different credit alerts of the ‘imaginary people he has sent money to’ the idiot went as far as sending me series of voice notes on instagram telling me how real it was he was talking calmly. So I decided to give it a try i had about 150k in my account and wanted to try it with 100k..
i was about to send the money when my Babe’s call came in, the foolish me was cutting her call because i was about to transfer the money, i have even typed in the account number when her calls kept coming in I decided to pick up, that was how she was lamenting that her younger bro was scammed a day before of 250k by one BINOMO guy like that...
Mhen!!! Fear catch me though i didn’t tell my babe I was about to do such, even to date i still haven’t told her about it..
But i just thank God sha because if not for her naso the Bastard will just scam me of 150k.
He was assuring me that i will get Triple of the 150k in 45minutes..
Well, i just thank God sha..

I don't understand how people believe this..why someone says he would triple your money in 45 minutes..and you beleived?? WHY?? DON;T YOU THINK this thing baffles me

I observed that everyone is quick count their losses but, not what they learnt?


This is the most important aspect of losses and failures... What did you learn from them?

Well said.

Lesson learnt: Put any kind of business arrangement (no matter how small) written in a simple agreement or MOU before committing.

Some time ago I was underpaid (short-paid) about 1.2M out of my total earnings for a business arrangement I brought together all because I trusted that my friend was in charge and my interest was covered. News flash, I couldn't hold the other parties to anything since everything was agreed verbally.

What a coincidence. Though, it's not a huge amount but as per say money no dey, the thing enter my body. I'll be tying the knot with my heartthrob come August 30. A relative of mine and I went to kraal(a place where cows are being sold) today to buy a cow for my impending nikkai(wedding). We got there and saw a cow of our choice. We started negotiation and unanimously agreed to pay #110,000 for the cow. I brought out the sum of #120,000, removed #10,000 and gave him #110,000. I kept the #10,000 in my track suit pocket and forgot to zip up. A mentally deranged cow was causing a brouhaha and I got distracted. That was how the sum of #10,000 was stolen from me today. Upon realising my money is gone, my entire system went numb. I swear I no fit cry but the thing pain me. Nonetheless glory be to Almighty Allah. I already learnt my lesson.
Better thank God you didnt lose the entire 120k

I lost over 450k within a month to bet9ja in 2019, I tried recouping my lost fund of initial 260k only to see it increase to 450k in space of 2 months, Liverpool vs Barcelona semi final champions league was the last straw that broke my camel back as i layed 260k for Barcelona to qualify for final, i think the odd was around 1.12 as Barca has already thrashed Liverpool 3 to 0 at Camp Nou only for Barcelona to receive 4 to 0 at Anfield, what a game!
I couldn't sleep and felt so depressed.
February 2020, a miracle happened, i saw a link for arbitrage betting training, d guy requested 1k to join the watsapp group for training and i decided to try it out, i was like 1k is too small, i won't mind getting scammed, only for it to be real.
Between Febuary to June dis year, i recovered all lost to betting from many bookmakers sites and made more than what i lost, it only pained me that bet9ja was not the bookmaker that paid most of the funds recovered. There was no lockdown for me as the period was when i recovered all my lost fund from conglomerates of betting sites through arbitrage makers.

Sorry to disturb you. I could not ignore your post no matter how hard I tried to. 110 BTC is not what someone would just leave like that. If you remember your email address, I believe there would be a way to get your account back. After that, I think the remaining job to get your wallet info would be easy. BTC price is child's play last year compared to what it was this time 2017. Seems you are very comfortable right now, that's why you are not bothered. Bros, even if na 1 BTC, I die there.
