I have been scammed by a VCC seller. I paid him $5 but he did not reply to me at all.

I got scammed on ebay. I sold 1gb of ram, was paid through paypal and duly posted it on.

Some time later the buyer claimed he received a 64mb stick of ram which was curious as I had never owned a stick of that size, ever.

I asked him to return it for verification purposes and he claimed he sent it. However, it never arrived and, to cut a long story short, he did a chargeback through paypal for 'item not as described'.

I am interested to buy only the virtual products like domains ,ebook or some links submission services at ebay.Many chargeback frauds in the internet make me much careful on buy/sell/trade online.

I experienced fraud cases in the autosurf industry and high yield investment programs. That's understandable because these are high risk investments. I also experienced my funds getting withdrawn by Stormpay. I have never recovered those funds lost.

I have been scammed plenty of times on Digital Point.

People promise items that they can not send.

Really annoys me.
