I got scammed with some penny stock that went kaphooey. It did good for six months then the security company was hacked along with a couple of other companies and trading of those stocks was temporarily halted. I guess it was bad publicity for a facial recognition and security company for the government to get hacked, the stock never got back on OTC again and I think the company flopped.

No more buying penny stocks.

i know its a personal question
you dont need to be specific
but how much did you lose approx

Six hundred bucks. It climbed to twelve hundred bucks, then information disappeared as to the value. It may still be out there, but all info of the company disappeared from the stock news but it is still on the OTC site....idled and never traded. From what others said about it it lost the DC government contract and flopped.

i appreciate all your answers
but im referring to say for your traditional buyer seller scam
ebay / amazon etc

What type of rabbit was it?
£60 is a lot of money for a rabbit......it must have been a giant one.

I was scammed by those people who ring and say there is an issue with your pc...... I paid for them to remote access my pc.

Told someone at work the next day and they said it was a scam.

I then had to pay someone to look at my pc.

mini lop
they said it came with a lifetime vet plan
had already had any treatment, came with a little run gate for it, and other accessories
clearly none of it existed
