How many times did you get scammed what did you lose?

When I was young and naive, I found a guy on Xbox Live that said he had a DLC code for Microsoft points. Never got my DLC but reported the points as not working to Microsoft. They suspected a code generator got it and banned the guy's profile for using a code generator since it's basically stealing. I got a new code. I temporarily lost $20 but it ended up all right. Never been scammed on Steam as of yet. Don't go first if they have no rep or very little, and never click fishy links or accept lvl 0 private profile friend requests.

twice. one time i lost 35$ due to paypal chargeback, second time i bought a stolen copy of planetary annihilation. both are long ago and since i got some basic trading rules for myself, nothing ever happened again.

• no paypal trades with low-rep guys under any circumstances.
• if it is too good to be true...

I think once, with Humble Indie Bundle 3.

A russian dude one added me and said he wanted all of my cards and would send me a Steam gift in return. Didn't have much experience and got scammed, the guy blocked me and got away. Never again trust unknown people, especially russians.

Instead of "Apfelsaft"(lol wtf is this) there must've been option "Never been scammed, I don't let anyone scam me"

Only one time. I lost 15€ (8 CSGO keys) for trading a key of Wolfenstein TNO outside of Steamtrades.

about 6-7 times and lost some games and 200$ :(

Only once. I haven't lost money - just about 1 month of farming in diablo 2. I wanted to bought item for gems and runes. And was scammed - since then i trust nobody xD
Pretty good lesson.

i dont click links, i decline private or less than lvl 10 profile invites and i dont believe that i can trade my 5euro thing for 100 euro thing so zero, anyone who got scammed must be really naive but iam sorry for them thats why i think all kind of criminality including this should be punished with death penalty. less money for prisons, more money for hospitals, less criminals, would be a wonderful world.

Never got scammed, but I've had a handful of people try to scam me. Had they all been successful, I would probably have lost something in the region of 75-100€.

I got scammed out of my virginity for 2 buds in tf2 vnv

i remember the time, where EVERYBODY was allowed to send friend request :D everytime i bumped my csgo lounge trades, 10 new phishing bots wanted to be my friend xD

The worst thing is that i got scammed mostly in real life by real people.

Like when you loan something to someone and you'll never get it back, or just something stolen by someone of your crew but you don't know who so you cannot accuse anyone.

Got scammed once by a guy who i knew in rl ... a few months later i heard news about him saying that he ended up fired cause he was stealing money from his job (was working behind a cash desk on a grocery). I lost 23 euros. He had DayZ on his inventory as he wanted to trade it, i gave him the keys and cards considering that he was a trustworthy person but he ended up removing me from his friend list and actually activating DayZ the next moment.

Although i hated him for what he did and i tried to find him afterwards, i feel sorry for him as he had many troubles in life
