crockett · 07-12-2006, 03:03 PM

$0 so far. However I once bought a website that required me to send a wire for $1.5k to Moscow.. Needless to say I was a bit nervous about it, but it all worked out in the end.

Mr. Soul · 07-12-2006, 03:04 PM

Over 15k. Mostly from ibill and other billers and programs. Some scammers walking away with cash.

chowda · 07-12-2006, 03:08 PM

bad hosting deals lol

e-god · 07-12-2006, 03:10 PM

AnnaSucks · 07-12-2006, 03:16 PM

Hmm... A BBW camgirl with a coke habit stole $1100 from me 6 months ago. I was supposed to buy my wedding rings with that. My own fault really, for being so gullible.

Lol, no. This one is called Carly.

Webby · 07-12-2006, 03:32 PM

Sheesh... what is on this thread does not exactly look a lot!

Never had hosting or other scams, but since starting on the net side - somewhere is excess of $300K. This is almost 100% sponsors, and where a fair number have since disappeared, but the names of individuals pop up occasionally and their names are already on the "blacklist"

Tho never been scammed or had bad debts recently - it's a matter of being fussy who ya deal with.

FreeHugeMovies · 07-12-2006, 03:33 PM

Adult Site Traffic. Over $3 K (https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/629625-adult-site-traffic-ast-knocked-3-a.html.
Mark Perrins (DigiBucks). Similar amount.
A few traffic resellers over the years which wasn`t a great deal (just a few hundred dollars).

Business lesson of the day...avoid offering credit to people.

took me over 2 years to get $7500 from one guy here at GFY

ravo · 07-12-2006, 04:36 PM

In the last 10 years, about $50K in total. I could calculate an exact amount, but that would be too depressing.

onlineriches · 07-12-2006, 04:44 PM

everytime I get scammed I hunt them down and fuck them up.

Important to have specific info before sending cash so if anything arises you can find them quick.

QuaWee · 07-12-2006, 05:04 PM

$0k and I doubt it stays that way

Furious_Male · 07-12-2006, 05:09 PM

$150 to Bushmasters since 1998 that is it.

Not counting not being paid by the infamous Cyber Thrill Casino

vvq · 07-12-2006, 05:17 PM

The last time I was scammed was September 14, 2004 for $850. Look it up in your Paypal history bdjuf. ;)

cranki · 07-13-2006, 08:27 AM

around 100$ from candidclicks or whatever they were called...

flashfreak · 07-13-2006, 08:29 AM

forgot to mention paypal scammed me for $1400

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 07-13-2006, 08:30 AM

Over $20k from iBill...Gary Spaniak is a scam artist who should rot in jail and burn in hell along with his other slimy cohorts.

Other than that I've been pretty fortunate, since I only lost lesser amounts a few times to designers that didn't produce and models that didn't repay me.

Only iBill really pisses me off, because with personal loans/advances to people I realize there is a calculated risk. In the case of iBill, I earned that money, they collected it, and then ripped me off by not forwarding my share to me per our contract.

If anybody has Gary Spaniak's direct phone number (home or work) or hos home address, that would be much appreciated.
