Hey Pandas, If You Were Ever Scammed On The Internet Or In Real Life, How Did It Go Down?
I myself have never gotten scammed but my grandpa has. He was going to buy e the new X-Box but when he gave it to me him and I got scammed for a X-Box 360.Hey Pandas, If You Were Ever Scammed On The Internet Or In Real Life, How Did It Go Down?
This is going to sound ridiculous, but at the time it was the most devastating thing that happened to me. When i was around 9 I used to play that online game called Animal Jam. Of course, just like every cool kid out there ya boi had a membership. With this membership i was able to obtain the premium currency, Diamonds, Quite easily. With these Diamonds i went the the Diamond store and bought an expensive item called a Spike Collar. I have zero clue why these were the most sought after, but everyone always wanted one of the authentic ones. I had two authentic ones and one store-bought one at this point, and i wanted another authentic one. So i went to the main area and started advertising the crap out of my incredible offer for an authentic one. Some dude comes up to me and says „I dont have a spiked collar, but i have something even more rare.“ naturally, i am intrigued. I ask him to show me and he shows me these Ram Horns that look hella cool. Of course im skeptical so i ask him if he is sure these will outmatch the value of an authentic spiked collar. He says yes, they will, and that in exchange he wants one of my authentic spiked collars. This sounds like an excellent deal to me because he says that these horns were extremely rare and a beta item. Beta items are hard to come by because only a few of them ever existed. A beta item could easily outpace 5 spiked collars. So of course im in and we initiate the trade. Just to be nice i toss in a few less rare items and accept the trade. Once we finish the trade, this dude starts laughing. Immediately, i know somethings up. He says „check the store“ and leaves the lobby. I looked at the store. There, in the store for like 5 of the non-premium currency, are the ram horns. I got swindled out of one of the most sought after items, and you bet i was pissed. The problem is, i never got the guys username so i could never report him for scamming me. I am 15 now and i still haven’t forgiven him.Hey Pandas, If You Were Ever Scammed On The Internet Or In Real Life, How Did It Go Down?

I went to Chicago 4 years ago with my friend. And this person walked up to us and said that they were homeless. So, I gave them $50. Then, a few hours later we saw them getting into a F'N LAMBO!!!

This happened to my professor in the middle of class... She got a phone call saying her house mortgage wasn't paid, then was asked to send her credit card number to "avoid any future complications."Hey Pandas, If You Were Ever Scammed On The Internet Or In Real Life, How Did It Go Down?
they tried but never succeed. about 3 weeks ago i've got a call from someone with a very, very, very big accent who told me he's from the Windows company... not Microsoft... Windows... SERIOUSLY??? they didn't try to be convincingHey Pandas, If You Were Ever Scammed On The Internet Or In Real Life, How Did It Go Down?
I was at a touristy spot in Greece with my wife and a restaurant owner invited us in, showing off his range of ice creams. We picked from the cart and sat down to our ice creams. When it came to paying the bill, he gave me the menu, which I thought was odd. Then when I saw the price I realised the scam. 50 euros for 2 ice creams (of average quality)! His whole game was to get people into the restaurant and get them to order something without looking at the prices on the menu, then make out the price had been available to see the whole time. I did the typical embarrassed tourist thing and payed, but I am now wise enough to always check prices before ordering. I dread to think how much a meal there would have been.
