Have you ever been scammed by someone online? A community I belong to is reeling from a recent incident. A scammer. It’s happened before, I’m sure it will happen again. One year a man scammed my pregnancy board. We were all due the same month and about 5 months along during xmas. This member was having a rough time as were several other ladies. We got a Christmas drive going and sent off packages with coupons for freebies,small toys, undies, socks and hairbows. A bit of essentials and a bit of fun. I was coordinating parts of it. I asked, begged really for people to black out the UPC codes to make it nearly impossible to return the items for $. We still were scammed. 2 of our ladies indeed were in need. The one however.. A kind gal who lived aprox 30 minutes from the scammer decided to drive a fruit basket over with some canned goods. She pulled up to a home worth hundreds of thousands of dollars… 2 nice cars in the driveway and a 50 something year old man washing one of the cars. She rolled down the window and inquired about our board member using the name provided to us. The guy dropped the hose and ran inside… we were officially scammed.. So have you ever been scammed online?
