Have any of you guys fallen for a scam
« on: June 11, 2007, 02:46:08 PM »
I am asking because i did, and today it returned to bite me in the ass. If you recall the nigerian money scam from a few years ago.  This beautiful woman claims her dad was a high ranking something or other wanting to use your bank account. Giving you access to millions of dollars if you send a little money. Well i sent $ 1000, and friday i recieved 6 money orders totalling $ 6,000. When i tried to cash a couple they were red flagged, bringing the police to my doorstep today. I feel like such a idiot.

Yeah, I got duped once into giving who I thought was America Online my parents credit card #.


I was very young, but I still felt like an ass when these $60 charges started showing up.


Luckily, the credit card company reimbursed my parents for everything, so everything turned out fine.

I still felt like an ass for a loooong time though.

I had an issue with identity theft last year. However, I knew what had happened seconds after I did it and immediately went to the bank and got a new card and had the old one destroyed. Thankfully no money had been spent from my account yet. Make absolutely sure you look at the url in the address bar before submitting anything to make sure it\'s legit. I got careless.

My friend almost had something like this happen to him, but he got out of it immediately.

I still can\'t believe you fell for that. :confused:

I first heard that scam as a sophomore in high school and even smelled the bullshit behind it. I even said to myself and a couple friends that only a really special person would fall for it :)

I\'d normally think its a joke because noone is dumb enough to send some anonymous person 1,000 bucks and expect millions in return...but fred has had some dumb ass posts in the past so who knows.

maybe the whole thing\'s an act..luckily only like 3 er 4 people really respond to his sickness stories
