How much is the biggest amount you have been scammed of and how did you recover?

LessBrain · Friday at 6:23 PM

Hi everyone , after inquiring and asking to be thought on running black-hat gambling ads in google, I somehow entered a spiral of giving money to a complete stranger who messaged me on this forum. Long story short he managed to manipulate lie and use multiple account tactics to extract around 3k euros from me. The damage is already done and i realized it too late that i was being butchered like a pig. The guy is a regular member and there is no point in opening disputes also he lured me over to telegram.

Wanted to hear your guys stories about how you recovered from such situations and what amount you got scammed from.

€3K is rough. I’d still save all chats/payment proof and report the member to staff. Best lesson is to keep deals on BHW and use milestones or middleman for larger payments.

Got scammed many times, and the latest one was around $3k. No way to recover. Back to grinding and doing the hard work.

Its easier if you engage in white hat money making, as as soon as you do anything blackhat, your asking to spend on some back street dudes technology, vs the biggest tech firms in the world. It would be nice if the little guy could win, but its like a garden snail thinking it will survive a mallet and flamethrower attack, just because it thinks one day its a nice snail, and deserves a nice life. The scammers take advantage of people thinking that all it takes is a simple cloaking tool, and crypto and a proxy or some ish, and you'll be up and running and making bank. Its much harder than that, thanks to big tech security though.

Realistically, its easier to stick to sites that pay you for content and go about creating that content. Read the rules and adhere to them. Many money making opportunity in todays age won't ask you for money up front, everything can be baked into transaction uplift commision, and on how well your product/service performs in the marketplace. Take a look at all the patrons, and merch sites. There is nothing up front, and they even provide the platform for you to engage from.

Not in this forum. But years ago, 150€ at a sales site where ordinary people sold items.
The seller turned out to be some kind of real junkie. I filed a police report, and he got caught.
The police said he had committed many similar offenses. Apparently, he’ll be heading to prison soon (at that time).
But the police told me I wouldn’t get my money back; the case goes to the enforcement authority, where the officials will simply declare that the individual is insolvent (no money to pay back).

In the old days, the scammer would be shot in the head <3

Yeah, that’s how they get you — small payment after small payment until you’re too deep in. Hope staff can still help somehow.

My ex scammed me out of almost $5K. Pretty sure y’all know how much that hurts.

Mr Positive · Saturday at 3:57 PM

$1100 I paid to transfer for a iPhone - via crypto - and I just paid on trust luckily I had similar amounts lying so was able to pay but that was a horrible experience

Thanks for your words and I have to say you are kind of right - but at the same time if that was the case than black hat niches would not even exist. I want to specialize in the gambling niche for example and would love to adhere to all rules - if they were not so many of them - certificates, licenses and restrictions and all of that. I am against the idea of only established million dollar companies running gambling ads and no one else. Also I never imagined that it would be easy thats why I enquired about getting some help from people from the forum, never wanted the golden spoon only some pointers and good threads to read

And to summarize my stance - f(*u)ck the big corporations and we as blackhatters should never give up against them and always try to find loopholes. Definetly they are more evil than people running crypto,gambling, adult , teading , forex or nutra ads.

shooting someone for 150 sounds rough... maybe like give him a couple of punches?

I've only been scammed by big companies like banks and cell service providers.

How much is the biggest amount you have been scammed of and how did you recover?
