Tell me your past scam experiences

I just want to be trust someone from BHW its totally my fault even i am already MarketPlace seller, I just send a cloud accounts before payment and the Fitlhy Guy Abused my goodwill and gone. I deserved this. I lost 200usdt. The worst thing about scam not money at all to me. I feel idiot and so nervous
 
A scammer impersonating us texted the buyer
He also texted my staff, pretending he wanted to buy the service
Then, he asked her to send him the code via BHW. At first, it was a 3-5 digit code as usual, then said it was the wrong account and asked her to text another code, which was his crypto wallet to the BHW account of the buyer who was being scammed
Luckily my staff found it strange and asked again and we did not affect the other customer
The scammers are crazy
 
I needed around 20 websites done asap
I didn't have time for it.
I had the host ready, domains brought, logos done, outlined theme colors already, articles done etc.
I needed some decent good theme, regardless of whether it was made with elementor or not and put in the articles
I paid someone $300 per site to get it done.

The sites were absolutely done like shit.
I saw issues everywhere on the homepage alone.
non-caps where caps are needed. Half the logo was hidden under a hidden random color box?
The theme was some free random trash picked up from yahoo answers probably
and they labelled it off as premium theme.
It wasn't SEO friendly, the site was slow as shit
there was random www. and naked url in the mix for links.
there was no silo structure either...
anyways, as you can imagine, it was top tier garbage.

Told them to redo this trash, they asked me to pay 100 more per site they need to fix as this is already top tier work
back and forth for awhile. They blocked me.
Went thru a dispute process on the platform i purchased it with.
Got my money back but wasted fucking time

Since then, I have never trusted someone who tells me they make "Premium" themes.
This is why I never work with someone unless I can see a portfolio from them. $300 PER site for bare minimum effort + $100 per for a revamp of his first effort that was abhorred? uh uhh.. At least you were able to get your money back... :weep:

portfolio doesn't mean much honestly.
I saw it, i was impressed, and that's why i went for them.
Just like a CV, it can be filled with lies and exaggeration.
 
How did you get scammed last time? Let's share our previous experiences and be aware of potential scam schemes

Lately, phishing scams using AI-generated deepfake voices and fake job offers have been on the rise.

Good to know tbh. It's a shame marketplaces got overall shadier. Feels like it forces people to pay specific/stupidly high prices because one genuinely can't even trust an portfolio or dev.
