Have you ever been scammed?
I almost got scammed today. So close. I almost gave someone $46 for a magazine subscription. But when I got the people out of the apartment, I got the check back with an excuse, ripped it up, and told them to leave.

I'm damaged now. I used to be so trusting of people. No one has ever tried to outright steal from me. It pisses me off that 1) I didn't say no right away and 2) that people do this.

Yeah, it's a learning moment. I'm glad that ultimately nothing happened, but I'm disappointed in myself and in people right now.

Anyone got scam stories? I hate thieves. If you are a thief, AIDS tree yourself now.

Got a few grand outa it, but will never see the rest. My laywer even said take it, and write it the rest off. It's all you can do.

With it being a civil matter he can play the "sorry i'm not avaliable for that court date" game forever like it's been done to several others.

Very expensive lesson, but now i'm 3-5 days COD off invoice with 15.9% intrest per month or any part of.
First time contractors are COD as soon as I drop the pole sander, or pack up my paint sprayer depending on the job.

At 14 I start the lien process NO EXCEPTIONS.
I would spend money plastering their thieving asses all over that island if it were me. I'd post copies of the contract in the local newspapers as well as copies of checks (sorry Canuck, cheques) and basically label them as deadbeats. That's a small community. It would probably humiliate them.

Late this fall, we were moving my brother into his new house...which is alone on the end of a lane. We were in the back, unloading guns and were looking over some of the collection.

About that time, we heard someone holler as they came around the house....It was the guy in the meat truck who "Just had someone back out and if he can sell this last little bit he can go home".....heard it before.

He walks around the corner to see 3 of us holding AR's and the other brother is just about to crack off a .308 round just as he came into site.

That's the closest I've seen a scammer physically turn their butthole inside out by leaving so fast.

Sometimes Karma visits in the middle of the night with Never Grow and spells "DEADBEAT" in the lawn. It's been known to happen.

Hey, he'll get paid eventually. The payroll company has just messed up his enrollment form for the past several years. I'll get it fixed.

Na. I could've tried to get his wages garnished, but he was in it for over $100k in total from people, and he's still in jail today. It was at the end of my college career, and I decided to stop beating myself up about it and move on with life. Buried my evidence file in the back of a drawer and let it go.

Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of dough, but the amount of effort I would have had to go through to get any of it would have been incredible. I just decided to move on and chalk it up to a really expensive lesson learned.

Purchased a counterfeit "CHI" flat Iron on Craigs list. If anyone has a wife that uses one of these, you know exactly how ridiculously over priced these things are.

thought i'd go cheap and snag one off of Craigslist to replace her broken one. I knew there were counterfeit pieces out there so i did my homework.

Or so i thought.

Later i realized how elaborate the scam was. Apparently counterfeit beauty products is a huge industry. The scammers put all sorts of misinformation online on various websites on how to distinguish a fake CHI vs a real CHI.

Of course all the info led you to believe the fake one was the real one. Purchased it. Took it home. Instantly she said, "This is fake". She could tell instantly by the amount of travel in the "Floating Ceramic Plates".

It was only 40 bucks....but still....****ers.

Yeah. You could also incur additional expense and have him change jobs or whatnot, and still not get anything. If he's still in jail, the chances of that guy ever making any honest money is slim and none. I missed the original thread, sorry it happened man. Thieves suck. Hopefully this one is in jail swallowing.
