Oh yeah. I had some rims of mine for sell on the Steals and Deals website when I got an offer from a Nigerian con man.
Well cutting the story short, the deal went as far as me actually receiving the international money orders. This would have been cool had the money orders actually been real but they weren't. I had worked in the import/export business before and had been through many many transactions and I immediately could tell they were not genuine. I took them to my local Post Office where they were consficasted and sent on to D.C.
Like the old saying goes "if it's too good to be true, it probably is".

Yes, I was conned into a business investment for a childcare center and the money was mismanaged and lost. I lost very little compared to one lady I knew who put all of her life savings into it. I felt really badly for her. I sure learned my lesson though.

No. Anytime something seems too good to be true it usually is so I keep my money away from it. Too bad my middle brother doesn't know better because now I am helping him out of a pickle. Good luck and keep your money away from tasty traps!!
