Have you been scammed before?
I am interested to know how many WA members had been scammed before. I myself had been scammed a few times many years ago, I cannot even remember what they were.
I remember joining on something that supposed to help you sell stuff online like Ebay, Amazon and your online website without buying anything like dropshipping. They provide a supplier but once I joined, I realised the prices are not low enough to make money on Ebay so that was not good at all so, I tried to contact the company to get refund but I was not able to contact them.:-((
I also joined another opportunity that provide me a website and Ebooks ready to sell online so all I do is wait for someone to buy my Ebook to make money but guess what? Nothing was sold, so that was just a complete waste of time and money.
I also remember trying these taking surveys, while it was not a scam, I think it was a waste of time. I had to spend hours to make a few dollars so it is not something to take on if you are after making real money not just a few dollars.
Then I found Wealthy Affiliate, so that is the end of my scam experience. Thank goodness for that!
Have you been scammed before? I would like to hear your stories here!
Thanks for sharing.

Yes, between MLM companies and internet "training programs" that we have been involved with (most all scams) there could be a reduction in the National debt. I wouldn't know where to begin and a lot of them I don't even remember their names. In all I guess I am a slow learner, but we wised up and joined WA. No scam here! What a blessing!
Thanks for your article.

Hi Bill and Sue,
It's amazing how MLM scammed many of us, They are so good and convincing. The problem with me is that I trust people easily and expect them to be honest and trustworthy. It would be nice if more people or companies are honest and trustworthy, but it seem hard to find ones these days.
As you say, it is a blessing to be a part of WA community, A legit and genuine place to start and build online business success.
Thanks for sharing your story. All the best to both of you.

Yeah, I fell for a lot of MLM companies where i never made any money from but had to payo monthly fee for. Their promises are way to big nd they make it look way to easy. They say that without a major network you ca easily do it and it's the scam in my opinion.
Hi T-men,
Thank you for sharing your scam experience and sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, there are sooo many people falls for these scams because they can be very good in convincing people that they are genuine.
I think I remember that I also fell for those MLM as well. At least for us, scam days are over because we found WA, may take us time to set it up and make money but at least it is GENUINE so bye bye scams for us!!!
Wish you all the best!

I've been scammed in several MLM companies. One in particular. It was a gold program. The person in charge left the country and took all the money. Not a good experience.
