How much have you lost in the hands of internet scammers?
 

I would have to say around 10k$

may it be ebay scams, people running away with money, bad hosting deals, etc

what about you?

almost the same so far. only clients who "forgot" to pay :(

Couple thousands ... it's been a long time I haven't got scammed thought.

$250.00 -- :disgust

ibill count ?

$400 or so, mostly from ebay

I learn the hard way about online investment scams, took me for 25k. I will never do that agian.

$500 or so from other webmasters

Does the .com crash count?

Over $25k I'd say. Cost of doing business...
WG

$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.

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

bad hosting deals lol

i remember that thread

lost around 14k, online investment and some ebay scams..

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.

Let me guess, her name was Anna?

$ 20,00 so far, true story, oh and $ 71,00, that's it

Lol, no. This one is called Carly.

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.

$1,900 ... Toby from Zuzana Designs

I've lost $0 (knock on wood :thumsup

Adult Site Traffic. Over $3 K (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

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

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. :)

$0k and I doubt it stays that way

$150 to Bushmasters since 1998 that is it.

Not counting not being paid by the infamous Cyber Thrill Casino

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

About a k..a bad design deal

about a k of boobdollars but i had some communication with em a month ago... ofcourse nothing afterwards :disgust

Never wasted money on them....

500 fucking bucks

What about Adstats? They owe me 10k

Around $400

paypal stole some money, but I got it back those bastards.... I know everyone has had a paypal account screwed at one time or another.

I lost $19.95 but am awaiting my $3.25 Million share of Ms. Ngumba Bamboozles deceased husband's (ex chief of Finance - Gamba) stolen bank account as soon as she wires it to me.

Probably a few K

Well I guess if we include ibill, globill and insite adult.. a couple hundred or some such.

nothing yet...

wow.. thats too much mate :pimp
