 Solutions to help you make money onlineYep, several times. One time for thousands of dollars. That was years ago though. Now my radar pops up and I can usually recognize the scammer or the scam. Sometimes if I have time, I will string them on and waste their time now so they think they have a sucker on the hook. Lol. That eats up their time and bandwidth in some cases so they have less opportunity to scam others. May 27th 2023 18:42 |

ConsultantYES Don't click on links, open any attachments or reply to requests. Scam messages may try and trick you into giving out your personal information. A scammer might ask for your bank account details, passwords or credit card numbers. They may also ask you to download files or software or allow remote access to your computer. BUT THIS BODY DID NOT GIVE THE INFORMATION.You Think You've Been Scammed. Now What? STOP CONTACT WITH THE SCAMMER. Hang up the phone. ... SECURE YOUR FINANCES. CHECK YOUR COMPUTER. ... CHANGE YOUR ACCOUNT PASSWORDS. ... REPORT THE SCAM. Victims comply because they do not want to lose the time, effort or money that they had initially invested, even if it might not be the most rational thing to do. Similarity: Scammers try to make victims believe they have something in common to induce trust and reciprocity. PLEASE CHECK THIS BODY PROFILE May 29th 2023 08:01 |

Lightning Fast Internet Service Near Your Home.Hey there! Great question, and yeah, unfortunately, I've had my fair share of online scam encounters. A couple of years back, I was on the hunt for a killer deal on a vintage guitar. I stumbled upon this seemingly reputable website with an unbelievable discount. Excitement got the best of me, and I hastily made the purchase. Long story short, the guitar never arrived, and my emails to their customer service bounced back. Classic scam move, right? Frustrating as it was, I learned a valuable lesson about double-checking the legitimacy of online sellers. Since then, I've become a pro at sniffing out potential scams, always looking for reviews, verifying website security, and making sure customer support is responsive. But you know what they say, every cloud has a silver lining. In my quest for a new guitar after the scam incident, I stumbled upon a local music shop that had the exact model I wanted. Turns out, supporting local businesses not only feels good but also ensures you're dealing with real people. So, while I've been burned before, it led me to discover some hidden gems in my own community. Always stay sharp online, but don't forget about the fantastic real-world options too!

Yes! I lost a few of my CryptoCurrency profits to some fake ICOs.
