Beware of who you trust on here

When I created this forum over a year ago it was my hope that this would become a family of sorts. All of us in the same boat and helping each other out.

It turns out that even as I preached trust nobody, I fell victim to an online scam. I totally trusted a member and he pretty much ripped me off. The stories get even better by the day.

I won't mention his name on here as I still have a code I go by as far as dropping names. But folks, don't give anything up until you get the money. Don't assume someone is honest and forthright just because they appear to be.

It may seem like I am venting, and it is because I am. This situation put me in a bad predicament. And the member on here I am dealing with doesn't seem to care as he is making money right now.

Please, do some research before you deal with someone on here or anywhere on the net. Don't rush things. Get a lawyer if you have to. You might have to pay him/her but it sure beats getting taken for everything.

Agree I also purchase a solution from somebody I knew from other forum and got burned. I wish there was away to make a poll/forum thats has solution for sale and have us rate them on dose it work, time to get it and support. Kinda like the feedback system on ebay. We would be able to post anonymous so the person posting can be honest without being afraid of having has hardware id cancel or being able to purchase from that person again.

I agree with that. I know there was a solution that a lot of people complained about several months back. I don't mind paying good money for something, but for crying out loud it should work. lol

Without naming names, can you say what happened? Did you give out a solution and now they are selling it? Stiff you on a solution? Buy something and it not work?
