have you ever been scammed

I was sold to the idea of an HYIP (hield yield interest). One of the options online had last many months and I figured I jump on the bandwagon, but apparently I registered too late as I only last a few weeks before they closed the site and I got nothing.  A ponzi scheme.

No, I haven't, but my husband once clicked on an email regarding flight information that he thought was concerning a relative that was coming to visit.  It wasn't though, and caused a virus on our computer!

I recently found an online mystery shopping company. They contacted me and told me  I qualified and that the info along with the payment was in the mail. When I opened the mailed I received a cashiers check for $2950 ($250 was supposed to be for me). I was to deposit this check in my account, wait a day and go to a western union and send the money to an address in FL. I had a funny feeling in my stomach, so I went to my bank to have them confirm that this check was a fake. I'm so mad at these people. Get a job and leave us alone!!

When I was a little kid, I got scammed by another kid my age... I traded a holographic pokemon card for several holos and some rare cards. However this kid only have half or a quarter of the available item for the trade... I didn't think nothing of it since I thought we are friends, but he made off with the card... I told on his parents and also him, but they don't seem to really care. It wasn't written in contract so it's basically means I gave it for him for free... Kind of sh***y losing a rare pokemon card and also losing a friend T_T.... Well I at least learn to have everything in contract so if they don't follow it, I can sue them
