Need Advice - I got scammed for 5k

i AM SORRY, nowadays, i firmly believe if you get scammed it's your fault!! Stop blaming and acting like the victim. People that get scammed are too lazy to do any kind of D.D. and/or are blinded by greed. Some idiot hands over $50,000 on the promise of 100%+ returns, etc...what do you think is going to happen? Real business is no fairy tale of easy, quick and no risk profits. The gullible are simply so ignorant they fall for the B*S* all the time.

YOUR FAULT. Learn from it and move on.
 
Its very risky to buy webpages , because there are so many ways to scam.

And as soon you accepted its over. Even a court will not bring you back the money, because the seller did not guarantee for any income. i really sorry for you because that is a lot of money......




Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies/answers and advices. Contacted both flippa and escrow and both can't help recover my money.

I'll just charge this to an expensive experience and hope someone can also learn from this before they spend their money in the same type of investment.

Anyway, I'll just update this thread in case there are some new development.

Thanks again!
 
I noticed you said your sold some amazon niche websites. can you still me why I can't edit this page or even login to the back end. I have tried everything. I bought the site on flippa. It's shopforcoffeeonline Coffee is very popular I figured with a blog and some Facebook marketing I could make this site pretty popular.

it was you who bought that? dude i was looking at its stats, its very unlikely to make something out of this, sorry to say this to you but the site you bought is not worth much unless you get some genie to work it for you and make people buy from your website rather than other
 
Yeah flippa is the worst. I hope you are able to recover some of your funds
 
It's always the same on those website marketplaces. Income can be fraudulent.
 
its a loss man, just write it off and learn from your mistakes...
 
We live and learn, buying a site from flippa is really risky.

If your site was actually making money, what will the reason of selling be
 
That sucks man. I lost about $900 doing something similar. Better luck in the future!
 
I lost about $1800 in the same situation.
I bought a site at Flippa and the seller show me a way how to earn money by this site.
I registered at Payday loan affiliate program as he tell me, but after two or three days it was closed.
And the site's traffic after buying also was down and don't recieve any SE traff as the seller write in site description.
I try to contact Flippa about this, but they don't help me. I try to contact the seller, but without any result.
 
The seller WebCom just sells SEO agency websites on Flippa and made $42,000. Avg sale is $1000. Uses fake paypal and fake traffic with no video proof. Easy money from newbies LMFAO
 
I wonder why flippa even has a dispute its useless as you will never get your money back
Maybe tell us what his username is so we are also aware
 
One question: Don't you release the funds from escrow only once you are satisfied that all the terms and conditions are met, including revenue generation. So why did you do that ?
 
Never trust escrows. I heard with escrows people can fraud you easily. Thats why whenever im going to make a purchase on anything or websites project i always use paypal.
 
Sad to hear, you should have verified the traffic and revenue details in advance.
As per their policy...what i read is...

How can I get a refund?
Once the funds are in the Flippa Escrow vault, you would need to file a dispute in the listing's Sale Completion Area. Upon resolution of the dispute, Flippa will advise on how the funds in the vault will be disbursed and can potentially return funds to the Buyer. Please note: When you release funds to the Seller, you acknowledge that you have received the assets as described in the Flippa listing and are happy with them. If the funds have already been released to the Seller, Flippa has no further ability to retrieve the funds or provide a refund.
