Hi,

Every person who steps in for the first time in this business and is totally a newbie must have been scammed by someone or by any payment processor like Paypal.

The tip here is to just be careful and follow the rules!

Share your experience!

Ehm. Scammed? I can said many times when i join some program and business at internet. The admin of that site or company just run away with the money. Thats really sad and too good if i'm not losing in big amount. If not, must be i try to find and take back my money from that crazy admin.

To be frank, i have been a victim of a bogus and cheat. i got the reseller rights from him for about 40$ but within a span of 2 months, he absconded. The server was closed and i had no option to close my service also. It was a heavy loss for me.

I was being scammed by someone at other forums, the guy took money for 1 year link on PR5 health site, and afterwards we came to know it was never his site

Many others were being the victim for the same.

I have been scammed by PTR programs . I had to spend my time to read mails and click on the ads .It took me a long time to reach the payout, but they never paid me.

Zafar, thanks for that link. I recently got a little scammed by someone claiming to do forum posting and did not finish the agreed upon amount.

How much were you paying him? was it per post? I presume the amount must be low, you need to be more careful, try hiring a reputed person - here is a nice trick, if you do a google search on their username/real name, this will help you determine if he is worth hiring
