When I first started making money online, I was scammed by not getting payment for a service I rendered. I should have asked for payment in advance, but I did not know better because I was a newbie.
It cannot happen to me anymore now though.

Have you ever been scammed online?
 
I've not been scammed online. Maybe it is because I am not greedy or sometimes. It could be as a result of being careful. I know a lot of people might not really understand, but doing due diligence can save people in some cases.
 
I have been scammed multiple times. I have not only lost money on HYIP and Ponzi Schemes but I have had clients who ran away without paying me.
 
Thankfully, I have never been scammed online. Maybe because I don't join random site and I also don't work with any clients who hasn't established any reputation on the platform where I am selling services
 
If you have never been scammed before, you have never really started online hustle. Mine was very painful. The guy collected the work that I did for him and ghosted me immediately.
 
There are alot of scam activity now online but before you join any programs all you need is to carried out proper research to ensure that the program you join is legitimate this way it won't be possible to fall fraudulent scam victim
 
I have been scammed many times online while working for different clients. Some of which have not been too bad, but others in which I ended up losing out on a lot of money, having spent a lot of time working on the order they had made.

Unfortunately, scams are in most cases, inevitable when it comes to offering services online, and it is a case of being cautious when working with clients.
