It is very upset. Since today I wanted to withdraw my money in Alertpay, but due to the high charge, I found whether there was better way to deal with it.
And then I found someone who said he could transfer money to my Paypal account and I just needed to transfer him money from my Alertpay account. Then I sent him USD10 but then he got offline and his phone number is wrong. He is a cheater! I can't believe why I am so stupid
Just now I contacted Alertpay to dispute it. I don't have a positive expectation that this money can go back to me, but at least this is something I can do

We made mistakes, at least now, you know that it's a mistake to send money to individuals. let alone it's a mistake to pay some one to find you referrals.. i hope the earning is not that much.

Well, it is a live and learn sort of situation. You should never send money to someone you don't know even if they sound very believeable and as if they are a good person. They know exactly what to say to get a 'mark' to send them money. They have been doing it along time.

Any amount is enough for them to try to sting you. Money is money.

So sorry you lost your money! But you should know that you cannot sent money to a total stranger. I only lend money to my closest friends if they really need it or to my closest family. I hope you can get it back, but I would not count on it. And whatever seems too good to be true, is too good to be true.

I do hope it was not a big amount of money. But donĀ“t ever do it again, even with people you know personally but that are not closest friends or family.

You are not stupid, a little too trusting maybe. I am sorry this has happened, hindsight is a wonderful thing. You are a very trusting person which is a good thing but others will use it against you. Hopefully Alertpay can sort the problem out for you. I believe in karma and this cheat will get his punishment! I used to think that people are not that nasty, sadly in today's society this is not true. I hope you get it sorted.

there's just a lot of bad people around and everywhere. so each time we deal with someone that we really do not know personally, we have to check their identities first before proceeding with the transaction. be always careful.

Sad to hear that, youless. There are lots of cheaters throughout the internet & we have to beware of them, especially when we are making transactions involving money with unknown parties.

That's really sounds very bad. I'm sorry to hear that from you. Will anyways, just consider it as an experience. A way to learning that next time, you don't have to trust right away. You have to think many times, especially when it comes to money matter.

Oh, my dear.... You have lost your head on this one, huh. :-(
I believe that you can no longer reclaim the money you have lost because whatever transaction transpired between you and the cheater, alertpay or paypal has nothing to do with it. Once you have transferred the money from that cheater's account, then, it is already done and these two payment processors are not liable... Sadly...
Well, at least you have learned one valuable lesson to what had happened to you. Never ever trust anyone so easily especially when it concerns money unless you are one hundred percent sure that such person can be fully trusted.

I am sorry youless with what happened here. Yes just a bit way too trusting. I can't begin to tell you how many times people ask me that if they can transfer money to me and I can transfer it back and I deny such requests.
Even though I know I could be trusted and they even offer to pay me a fee for doing so. The thing is, that most that ask me I do not know well and I tell them they cannot do this with strangers. I am a stranger to most who they ask.
I hope you can get this resolve but I wonder if Alertpay will see this as unpractical services. Hopefully you did not stated that it was money exchange and said something like you did not get promised goods.

Dont worry about it dude!! you need to come across such non-sense people in this world and be careful whenever you deal with money. Because money always matters. Kindly get through the details and make your dealings.
