Largest amount of money you lost, or were ripped off, or found - GoFuckYourself.com

Drake · 10-04-2004, 09:58 PM

Found $200 in a grocery cart when I was a stock boy.

Been ripped off $500 for a Search Engine script. Not totally ripped off, I didn't read the fine print. It would only work on Windows, not FreeBSD.

Physically lost/misplaced $20. Actually lost $200 in blackjack.

Not much lost, not much gained in terms of straight luck.

Steen2 · 10-04-2004, 09:59 PM

Bought crappy sites for $500 I guess? lol

mrthumbs · 10-04-2004, 10:00 PM

$32k when paysystems died 2 months ago!!

ItBurnsWhenIpee · 10-04-2004, 10:01 PM

"Invested" $800 for a friend to buy a car and supposedly fix it up quickly it up for a big profit. Never saw the money again, of course. Learned my lesson...

Marcus Aurelius · 10-04-2004, 10:01 PM

found $100 dollars at a gas pump once. Lost $900.00 gambling once. Got ripped off for $700.00 by www.xcent.com for some software i purchased from them paying them to install it on my server. they failed to make it work, gave no explanation why, and split town with my cash. and wont answer my emails.

That pretty much sums it up.

That would suffice, LOL. Didn't do your research? Did you buy it from somebody on GFY?

mrthumbs · 10-04-2004, 10:02 PM

You know I heard things about them for about 2 years shutting down accounts for no reason. I almost didn't believe it until the this past year when they finally admitted they were getting out of adult.

ArikaAmes · 10-04-2004, 10:05 PM

Found 20 bucks at the grocery store, I was a happy cat!

If Ibill goes tits up I suppose the amounts may be larger in this thread for some

klik · 10-04-2004, 10:06 PM

largest amount of money i've found was $120 right in front of an atm..

largest amount i've been ripped for was $300 (shady weed dealer)

as for losing money.. i've probably misplaced a couple $20s in my life.. but it usually comes back around on laundry day

It did, I would have been happy if it would have been 1 buck. It just means I'm just a tid bit higher than I was before. I like to look at it that way, it makes me feel better....LOL

I once found 1500 cash in someones pocket

Methodcash Rick · 10-04-2004, 10:16 PM

Lost $100,000/month Recurring PLUS the database, when DMR went tits up back in 99.

MediumPimpin · 10-04-2004, 10:17 PM

When CSI pulled the plug the guys at Epoch were kind enough to import all my customers over, also thanks to the X-3 guys the import went smoothly for all our affiliates, Quiet lets hope you don?t have to go that route, still a pain in the ass to do.

Does a guy or company that rips somebody out of $600k get away without jail time?

media · 10-04-2004, 10:45 PM

I was ripped off for around $3000 by a guy named Prentice Schuetz, this was years ago.. Never ripped off that bad since... I'll hurt him if someone already hasnt.. Supposedly he owned people upwards of $200k total..

I wouldn't have the heart to put a family member away, just ended my relationship with them for good and wrote it off.

Its just money.
