I Just Got Scammed For The First Time!

I have been scamed a number of times! I luckily never invested in the sites but it bothers me I was scamed out of time! I was on a few sites that just took the money of other people and ran with it! They then disappeared! I was on sites that said they paid out big and you didn't have to upgrade to get your money! Wrong! Now I have been scammed by Nomincashout! I joined the site because I kept hearing it was a paying site! I have been only on sites that pay! I reached payout over 2 months ago and never got my payout! I am pissed! I didn't invest in any money in this site but I wasted time which I could of used on Mylot or other legit sites! I know how you feel!

If you read it here? who posted those sites? Maybe we can interrogate him/her.

I cannot even remember the first scam we got involved with. It is annoying and we have learned a lot in the last ten years. I still get suckered in occasionally, though. You would think I would learn.

Sorry, Stephani, yeah I always research a site before signing up, but the problem is, when you find one that is brand new and no one knows it is a scam yet..Though some wouldn't think Yuwie is a scam, (Is that even around anymore?) I felt it was because their payout was too high, I think it was $25.00 and it took people visiting your site that made you money..Problem is, it was like Myspace and when people had many videos and other things on their profile, it would freeze up my computer..Plus, it was hard to get people to visit your profile, so I quit..

Readbud and Gagabux. Hehehe. I think almost everyone here are members of atleast one of those sites.. With Gagabux, I already got a hunch when I got to the site and realized that they would pay me for reading articles, I mean it was soooo easy.. so I left. With Gagabux, it was more heartbreaking, because I kept on hoping that they would pay, because they have paid a lot of people, but weeks turned into months, and now they totally changed their rules.. SCAM! Oh well, it's a trial and error world, so I guess I'll just take it as a lesson in my online money making journey.

Lucky i have never joined a scam site, but i am a very wary beaver myself, always researching, and also if the layout of the site doesn't seem professional, i tend not to go for it. To be honest, the only 2 sites i am still not so sure about are neobux, and mylot, and by the recommendations by everyone etc, i assume they are pretty ok, ive not found any info regarding them being scam sites

Hi Stephanie I am sorry this happened to you over the years I have learned to be very careful with what I join but I have been scammed many a time in the past I only keep to the Sites now that have paid me not very often I join Sites now as I am very happy with the ones I have I am sorry though that it happened to you I hope it did not involve money

Welcome to the "we got scammed" club! When trying to earn on the net, we all go thru it once, some more than others. Looks like youre a fast learner so count your blessings, learn from mistakes and keep moving!

StephanieAnnC, I cannot stress the importance of safe habits on the internet where even legitimate websites can be hacked and inserted with malwares, keyloggers and viruses for the next unprotected surfer to pick up, what's more for a scam website. I just do not and could not even want to bother with these seemingly convincing get rich programs because I find there are more worthwhile and worthy sites for us. So, till now I am glad that I have yet to be scammed. Have a nice day.

Readbud.com is the first scam site I joined. No I did not reach the payout but before I did my friend did and too bad she did not get her earnings. Readbud refused and instead told her she rated the articles too fast. My friend warned me so I stop in that site and I am warning also those who are still wasting time in this site. Readbud.com is a big scam so don't you keep on wasting time with them.

hi stephanie annc, i can remember you only through avatar,for one scammed site,you are worrying,regularly i am joining in the sites,then activation of our accounts,then entering the site doing some thing if it amicable to us doing if not nothing,we can know after some time the site was scam or not,nothing that's all,have a nice day

Hi StephanieAnnC, I fully understand your feeling, but I would like to say you are still lucky as it just wasted you a few minute and you did not lose anything. When we got scammed, we always complainted that " We should have bla bla bla". LOL Sometimes we can not figure out why we would make such fooled mistake that would not happen if we think it a little bit.. I have the scammed experience, but it is much worse than yours as I lost over thousand RBM. As you know, QQ is very popular chatting tool and the administrative advised that I won the second price for 10 thousand plus a lap top. When I got the message, I am happy to key in my personal information on the set website to wait the prize call. They induced me to fall into their trap step by step. They required for the tax money first before I got the prize, I transfer the money to their account. Once I did it, I feel great regret for that as I sense that it was a scam. I just think that I might be controlled by others, otherwise I would not do that stupic things. I should browse the internet to verify the news; I have heard a lot such of scams; I should have talked to my colleage a little bit before I proceed further. But I did not do that. That was really a great lesson for me.

I am sorry that happened to you but that happens so try not to let it get you down and move on.Since even when you do get scamed some times you can learn from your mistakes.

Whoosh, I have been luck SO far... I have not had the opportunity of being on a scam site yet!! Not to say any of the ones I am on won't eventually turn scam. As you see aside from the sites that intentionally start out with the intent to scam, there is always the possibility of a site owner not able to keep up with paying members and well shut down and be consider scam so it is possible. Sorry to hear of your experience but it is inevitable that all will have this once or twice while earning online.

Oh! Sorry for that matter. However, as you mentioned, you have not wasted any money on it. In short, you were not scammed....I think, we need to clear this issue out because we always call or term a NOT PAYING SITE as SCAM. When in fact, it should not be because we have not cashed out any money for the membership. Although, we were fooled because we wasted effort and time to it, only to find out that said site will not actually pay us for that effort made. Anyhow, good thing you have realized that it is a scam site before you have seriously gave all your efforts on it. As for me, I have joined A.W.Surveys. I was then too curious on online paying sites and was convinced to join. I was in that site I think for more than 4 months doing the surveys and convincing others to join under me. After all that effort, I was notified not to receive the payout providing me reasons and not a specific reason. Since then, I was very keen on sites I need to sign up for. I even do a research before joining. At least, for that mistake, I have learned my lesson. What I am thankful for though is that, I did not pay any thing to be registered on that site. So, no too much hurt feelings involved.

Oh!! sorry to hear that? that is the reason why I don't trust those sites that are introduce to me. I don't usually sign up to the link shared by someone. I always research for that certain sites and do some reviews about it. I want to be sure I am not wasting my time with nothing.

I hate getting scammed. I don't remember the first scam site I signed up with though.

Sorry this happened. I guess you never can be too careful these days in life either on or off the internet.

well it was still this month that i have personally verified that it is a scam even if a lot of people are advising me not to join. as your progress to your online earning youll encounter a lot of these kind of sites.

Yes, I recently quit gagaBux THEY ARE SCAM!!! I spent two weeks on it :(
