So this was my first experience with Flippa, and I got scammed and lost $2000.
I bought a website and he claimed the winner would get $500-600 a month and 90 days full support for questions etc.
I chose to use Escrow (so I could dump another 65+15 in the toilet).
So he installed the website on my server and it looked like I was getting good traffic and impressions on the ad network. He told me it wasn't instant so clicks and revenue would show the following day. He was eager for me to release the Escrow money before the weekend, and he seemed nice and all seemed legit.
Next day - still no revenue or clicks. I started looking a little deeper on the stats, and 95%+ was purchased traffic... He comforted me and said it will keep coming, it is not paid for, etc.
When I asked him if it was a scam he stopped answering my E-mails.
So yes, I could go back and wish I wouldn't have released the money, wish I would've done better research etc. But I guess I still have faith in humanity (dumb mistake).
Just wanted to vent...
