**Have you ever been Scamed before?**

[Shawn Lutz]

yeah. I had an attorney form Niger send me an email saying that his client has the same last name as me who died in an automobile accident and had some 35 million USD in an account that if I agreed to deal with him he'd wire me 40% ...I said hot damn..its my day..pood David Lutz...never knew that fucker but what the hell...anyway instead of wiring me my 40% of 35 mill he sucked about 40K from my account....damn

A couple yeas later I got contacted again but this time Fred Lutz died in a plane crash...Fred had no family to claim his money...how lucky can I be...I was supposed to get about 3 million from the deal but got my account sucked dry...about 20k this time.

After that I haven’t been scammed...I do give cash to people who claim their car broke down, were robbed and have no money to get their car out of the shop...I dont think they are scammers...tho

2 Years ago I bid on a Porsche Boxter on Ebay. The guy said the car was in Greece but all the pics seemed to show Oregon plates?? He then said he used to live in Oregon and would ship the car as soon as I wired him 3%. Then he could not produce any recent pics because the car was having work done. You have got to be kidding. WTF!!?? I reported the email address and got out before any damage was done.

I got scammed out of about $5,000- $6,000 once when I tried one of those debt consolidation places for the over $20,000 in credit card debt my ex-wife left me when she moved out. I was paying a few hundred dollars a month to this place and they were supposed to deal with my creditors and get my debt reduced to about half of what I actually owed, but apparently my creditors were never notified, as well as a bunch of other people's creditors, the company was shut down and has since filed bankruptcy. I'm now in a Class Action lawsuit, but who knows if I'll ever see any of that money back? I've since filed for bankruptcy, and most of it got expunged by the judge anyway (I got a good lawyer ), so I'm doing fine now, just still pissed off!

My Girlfriend had her account with PayPal and eBay scammed one time but luckily she got all her money back. My only real scam was I bought what was described as a great condition guitar that ended up having a very poor neck-break repair that cost me about $300. Someone poured some elmers into a cracked neck, used some wood putty and a can of flat black spraypaint.

I still have my $2000 vacuum cleaner. Anybody ever comes to my door selling vacuums again they better be wearing a cup.

That almost happened to me when I was 20.
Lucky I had no credit at the time and they turned me down.

That a Kirby?

rofl

i lived all my life in Israel and moved to Canada about 4 years ago
i remember in Israel people used 2 go door 2 door selling kirby vacum cleaners.. atleast they cleaned my house for free as a sample lol
they also said if i make 5 people buy the kirby , i get one free
well my parents recommended that kirby to friends .. they bought it.. the vacume cleaner is actually okay no one is complaining.. so about 6-7 friends bought it.. but nothing for us.. just a way 2 make sales

My first time time on eBay I got scammed by a guy that offered a backdoor BIN on a neck that never arrived. In the end, my bank did a charge back and he lost his eBay status.

The second time on eBay, the Music-Go-Round in Madison, Wi charged me $15 to package and handle a mini sized BBE. It was also fried when it arrived. With return shipping to get the balance refunded, I was still out $40.

I was green and a fool for not having asked if the unit was working properly and if there was a handling fee for shipping. I also made the false assumption that dealing with a retail business on eBay was somehow safer.
