Payment scam experience

posted by miamideep 10 months ago 683 views 3 comments
I almost got scammed last week and wanted to share my experience so others don't fall for it. Someone claiming to be a vendor contacted me directly with an amazing deal. They wanted payment upfront through an unusual method. Luckily I checked the forums first and found warnings. Always do your research!

Man, these DMs are getting out of hand. That "amazing deal" out of nowhere is always a scammer alert in my book. I had a similar thing where they pushed me toward a phishing website that looked just like a legit vendor's. Glad you dodged that bullet — hate seeing people lose stolen money to these clowns. Always verify on the main forum before sending anything.

Yeah, I had something similar happen—guy DM'd me with a deal that seemed way too good and pushed this weird payment method. Glad you checked before sending anything. That's a classic scammer alert. They're counting on people acting on impulse before they search for all the fake reviews or copycat domain warnings. Saved yourself a headache, man.

Yeah, that "too good to be true" deal is almost always a big red flag. I've had people DM me with similar offers — they push some weird payment method and rush you before you can think. Glad you dodged that one. Worst is when you see a newbie fall for a copycat domain and their money's gone before they even realize. Always check the trusted list here first. Saved me at least a couple times from a scammer alert situation.
