            Hi,
I am a regular member of a forum and I nearly got scammed. I do article writing/rewriting. I had a private message in my inbox asking for sample from the owner on his topic. I generally do not do this. Somehow, I had nothing to do in the morning today and thought that I would send one. He asked for 2-3, which would have sent strong signals generally. I opened the message after 8 hours and he wanted the article done in 24 hours. I just checked if this was open and he asked me to send a file. I sent 1 and there is no answer after 4 hours. I was curious and checked his creditionals, which I generally do earlier. Somehow, till date I was not scammed and did not find a clue in this. He gave a heavy price of $5 per article. He is running a school. He is a terrible scammer, which I found upon research. He had won this project few days back and he wanted this from other members free of cost.What a person. He advertises projects and asks for samples or award the project and don't pay them. 
I just can't tolerate such people. 
What are your views? Have you ever been scammed?

                            I heard AWSurveys is a big scam. They never gave me more surveys apart from the initial one that I did for $27.

                    Is this a lone instance? How long have you been writing articles that are bought? I had got registered but could not find enough time to keep pace with the demands, so couldn't go much far in this.

                            You brought writings on your own? How does that work? I heard that is better than writing for someone else. I always write for someone else. How does that work/ Why are you not continuing? I guess that it is probably a good business. Can you give me the details and the site?
