Have you ever got scammed or done something stupid that lost you stuff or money on the internet ?

 

I have once a year ago , a guy was overpaying for a 5$ skin with a 5.8$ on csgolounge , and i had that skin so i went to do the trade , the guy accepted , and then i realised the skin was field tested instead of factory new ( from a value of 5.8 to 0.5 ) . I kicked myself and always check the trades better.

My brother once found a 'deal' on gumtree were someone was offering an iPhone and iPad for around £400 but wanted paying by bank transfer (yep); so, my mum gave him the money for it as it was for his birthday and he did the bank transfer. 

 

Never heard from them again, the case was sent to the FBI based in London but we've never heard a peep and this was around 3 years ago. I didn't know this was going on until they had lost all the money, and i don't think my mum was aware it was a direct bank transfer either. Otherwise i would've objected against it, but there we go. I've never personally been scammed though.
