Anyone who admits to more than $100 is an idiot....

Once for getting scammed and twice for admitting it on a public forum.

Abut 10-15 minutes, which is only worth ~$5 to me. It happened while clicking your threads before reading who posted them...

$400 for a laptop a long time ago (4-5 years I think). Unfortunately PayPal was absolutely no help in getting the funds back.

Think I got scammed for a few hundred dollars on an Xbox at one point in time as well. The whole thing seemed fishy, but against my better judgment I went for it.

Damn scammers...

What is it with you and all your fucking questions? I see a really bright future for you around here. :roll:

$1 to someone in 6th grade. Pretty sure that I stole it back, though.

what... no ones gotten divorced before?

 

[biggestmuff]

I just got scammed out of a decent thread.

 

[SearchMaster]

About $200. I was pretty sure it was a scam at the time (a penny stock) but the ride was fun.

 

[Spineshank]

$200 for a PS2 years ago.

Divorce court is theft

I once lost $1000 pesos (about US$0.75) in the "Three Card Monty" scam. I was 12 at the time, so of course I was not aware of the scam......

That's not really a scam... Anywhere you go you're gonna have to pay them.

$30. I think it was for some swap discs from some company online that I later found out was shady.
I usually research a company I am buying from, but didn't for some reason at that time.
I never got what I ordered, even after numerous emails, so I just gave up.

$10 at the DC zoo. I'm pretty sure the parking attendant wasn't legit. I became suspicious when he handed me a cardboard ticket. By the end of the day my wife wasn't feeling well so we just left. Not sure what I could have done to call him out on it.

 

[Bignate603]

About $300. A guy that I bought a car from had disconnected and reconnected the battery to clear the check engine light so it wouldn't come on until after I took it home. He didn't answer my calls after that, the bastard. I had to replace an O2 sensor and unclog the EGR valve.

 

[Leros]

I paid $250 to get a battery replaced. My car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I got a tow into some small podunk town. They wanted to charge me $500 for a new battery, I talked them down to $250. I was trying to get to a funeral so I wasn't in much of a haggling mood. I'm sure I could've done better, but I just wanted to get on my way.
