Have you ever gotten ripped off?

Question

what happened?

Answer 1

Almost every time I go to a mechanic.

Answer 2

Yes, but I learned from those mistakes by reading about the subject before trying anything else on it again. That way, whenever somebody wants to rip you off, they soon realise that you know too much and won't try. Knowledge is power, and each rip-off is a good invitation for getting to know and learn about the subject, in order to prevent it from ever happening again.

Answer 3

I was working with someone who I knew for a long time and after I got a $5000 Mac so we could get the work done better, they made up some excuses for me not to come over about one of them having Cancer, not feeling good, then suddenly they moved from the studio and haven't been found since. Oh, for anyone who wants to know who they are: Their names are Ty Real and Jessi Jordan. They are true criminals. I have been stuck with the debt of that $5000 Mac even now. When I am finished paying it off I would have spent $15000. I have tried finding them and contacting them but they are always moving.

Answer 4

I did on Ebay. I ordered some new face plates for my cell phone and was turned in for not paying for them. I had to send copies of my money order as well as a written letter from the post office proving the seller had cashed my money order. The seller has since been removed for pulling the same scam on others but I didn't get any money back or my face plates.

Answer 5

i became ripped off on ebay. I gained a Tiffany bracelet that became marketed as genuine with certification papers. after I were given it I took to the Tiffany save in la and they laughed at me. Ebay did no longer something yet after I gave undesirable comments, the seller grew to develop into verbally antagonistic and that i kept getting emails from ebay asking me to regulate my ideas about the seller. It became loopy so I in no way dealt with ebay again. Now this became even as ebay first began, i have self belief they have a coverage in position for fraudulent products. So I say pay at your human being threat.

Answer 6

I agreed got high speed internet services with the idea that i didn't have to pay for the modem or wireless adapter. Yes, they were right, the first month I didn't have to pay. When I received this atrocious bill the next month, they said that it was in the contract. I denied it over and over again. they sent me the exact same contract that I'd already had and apparently in the water mark text on the back (after holding it at an angle to my light) I was able to read it. WTH I want my money backkkkk!!!!!!

thanks for making me remember this...do me the courtesy of turning your back to me as this grown man begins to sob in 3...2.... Wahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

Who Me? Ah yea, I go to work everyday and get ripped off of my money that I earn.

Answer 9

Many times. We all buy something that has been misrepresented, or get talked into something that isn't quite what we were told it would be. It's part of life. Unless it's something outrageous, you just shrug it off, promise to be more careful next time, and go on.

Answer 10

life in general is a rip off

Answer 11

Someone stole my credit card and used it for over $3000 before we found out. (We now have placed a $250 a day limit on it.)
