Sad to say...yes. The person pretended to be a famous actor and seemed to know things about the actor that really made him seem very convincing.
Unfortunately, this person's conscious got the best of him and after several months he admitted he wasn't really an actor.
Ofcourse I was upset. I felt stupid for believing him in the first place. But I learned my lesson and now I'm quite skeptical and not so very gullible.

Yes, on eBay of all places. I bid on an item & sent the merchant a check. It was $17 pus 12.95 shipping. I never received the item and when I put it for dispute on eBay, I got nowhere because eBay claimed it was under $25. (they don't count the cost for shipping). I learned a lesson: eBay only protects their hi volume merchants even if they're crooks.

Yes. They took my credit card number over the Internet and started charging stuff to it that I didn't order. I had to go and fill out the credit card company's legal form stating that the charges weren't mine and had to get the document notarized. So it cost me some time and about $25.00 to get the thousands of dollars removed from my credit card statement.

Yeah, kind of... it was a business that apparently had a habit of just taking orders and payment, and then not sending out the items. I lost my money, but I reported them to the Better Business Bureau and the FBI, and since i wasn't the only one they were apparently shut down.

yup I even have dazzling in the previous ending my first marriage. I even had a pal that became into interested in helping me. yet i became into purely rather starved for interest, perplexed approximately my existence and properly slightly curious. i did not prefer to finally end up hurting her in my perplexed state so i did not enable something to start. She became into candy and if i became into going to alter i might provide her a decision.

No but I'm going to take you tonight. See, when you participate in forum-esque sites like these, you IP address is logged and I can view it (I have some administrative powers since my close friend goes to MIT and can hack unsophisticated systems like this). I will send it to him and he will make your disc drive eject at about 10 o'clock eastern. Watch for it, it will be very cool.
