They just happened to have a bunch of asphault "left over" from their last job and they can do your driveway for $50. Usually this costs $300! People say sure thing. They come out and spray some black paint on the thing and leave. They would hit 20 or 30 people on the street."

travllr said: "that this California psychologist, esteemed longtime member of college faculty - who was responsible for pointing out early Reagan's behavior (typical of early alzheimers) - has fallen for this scam, :rolleyes: and that his son has had to take over his money to he doesn't blow it all! Apparently, these Nigerian guys sit in cafe's and love to email "maghas" (or something like that), referring to American's in their language as stupid rich white people. It's amazing what people will fall for. However, given enough emails, I'm sure there's someone out there for every imbecilic scam. -trav"

chahinemm said: "yeh i know they have variations now with the chinese market, romanian, german, turkish, northern african. sometimes need to be dumb to fall for those. but i guess people do fall for them chahine"

Heather said: "I read an article a while back ago about a woman who was scammed out of 47,000.00. After I read the article I was unclear how all of it transpired, but the lesson learned is: NEVER WIRE MONEY to people that you don't know or shouldn't trust. There is no way to recover money that was sent via the wires."

On the other hand - it's pretty easy to prove that anyone he gave his password to - made the transactions. Sounds like one of the "great American myths" to me...... There are lots of scams out there - the basic premise is... if it sounds to good to be true - it probably is....."

fireopal said: "one scam that never fails to amaze me is how so many still fall for mlm companies that show large checks that upline has supposedly made to get new recruits to reproduce the very same wheel in hopes that they too can make that kind of money... some manage but more often than not, many don't..."

trickynick said: "OMG! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I haven't seen that version of the African money scams, the ones I got were way better written than that. That doesn't even make sense! Does anybody really fall for that?"

LanceJ said: "“Auto-surfing” is a form of online advertising that purportedly generates advertising revenue for companies that want to increase traffic to their websites. The premise behind auto-surfing is that companies that advertise on the Internet are willing to pay to increase traffic to their web sites. These companies hire an auto-surf firm or “host,” which in turn pays individual web surfers to view certain websites on an automatically rotating basis. The more sites the individual visits, the more money he or she stands to earn. While auto-surfing may sound easy and appealing — and risk-free — there can be a hitch. Some auto-surf programs require their surfers to pay to participate, although perhaps not initially. When you first sign up to auto-surf, the firm might assign a limited number of sites for you to visit and pay you accordingly. Once you’ve made a modest amount of money, the firm might encourage — or even require — you to purchase a “membership” so that you can maximize your earnings. The program will promise high — often double or triple digit — returns on your investment in the program, often within days or weeks of joining. The line you’ll hear is that the more you click, the more you collect. But the reality is that any scheme that requires you to pay to participate — and promises handsome rewards in no time at all for little to no effort on your part — bears many of the hallmarks of a “Ponzi” or pyramid scheme. These schemes look deceptively legitimate because the fraudsters behind them typically use money coming in from new recruits to pay off early stage investors. But eventually the pyramid will collapse when it gets too big. It’s simply not possible to “rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul" forever. The SEC warns investors to be wary of any sort of “get rich scheme quick” scheme — and to be especially leery of opportunities that require you to pay to play. Before you pay a dime to make extra cash in your spare time, be sure to do a little due diligence: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Compare promised yields with current returns on well-known stock indexes. Any investment opportunity that claims you’ll get substantially more could be highly risky — and that means you might lose money. Check out the company before you invest. Contact the secretary of state where the company is incorporated to find out whether the company is a corporation in good standing. Also call your state securities regulator to see whether the company, its officers, or the promoters of the opportunity have a history of complaints or fraud. If a supposedly upright business lists only a P.O. box, you'll want to do a lot of work before sending your money! Steer Clear of Testimonials. Watch out if the company’s promotional materials, contain “testimonials” from supposedly satisfied customers, especially if all the “testimonials” are full of praise. "Guaranteed returns" aren't. Every investment carries some degree of risk, and the level of risk typically correlates with the return you can expect to receive. Low risk generally means low yields, and high yields typically involve high risk. If your money is perfectly safe, you'll most likely get a low return. High returns represent potential rewards for folks who are willing to take big risks. Most fraudsters spend a lot of time trying to convince investors that extremely high returns are "guaranteed" or "can't miss." Don't believe it.

natser said: "I have sold on storm pay before and lost a lot of money and items. All the transactions there between the members are fraud. The member will pay you and by the stormpay rules that after 5 day of payment the payment went through and the money is yours. So at first I shipped out products after 2 days the payment was received and all of the transactions came to be a charge back in like 4 days. So then I decided to ship out items after 5 business days and as soon as I decided that the member payed me for the item. So after that I waited for 5 business days(7 days all together) and shipped the product. So that member said nice product thanks and gave me a good feedback and ordered more things from me. After like 3 weeks as the payment went through I get a charge back again. I sold like 50 items there and 48 payments were fraud and I lost 3 items there, because I didn't know that storm pay is a fraud type of system. Anyone else sold anything and lost money and items or had the same problem with storm pay as I did."
