Hello to you all

I just found this group and posted my story under "personal accounts" board. I noticed a few folks that are scam baiters, what exactly is that? I'm just feeling very depressed and wanted to say hi and hope I'm not the only idiot who fell for a money scam.

Welcome to Scamwarners! For more about scambaiting, see 419eater.com.

Hi, no need to feel embarrassed about falling for a scam, they are very good at what they do, and are very skilful at telling you just enough to sound plausible.

I hope you haven't lost too much money, and your feelings will recover in time, and please be careful on the net. Scams come in many different types, and some are really well done.

Take care

John

Welcome to Scamwarners! There is no need to feel embarrassed. Many of us first came to this site because we were victims of scams.

Thank you for your kind words! It helps a little. It is nice to know I am not alone.

Welcome embarrassedintx to the forums. Some of us have been scammed also, and there's no need to feel alienated or alone. Stop feeling embarrassed because scammers are good at the trickery and deceit. Posting any scams you come across will help in the healing process because it will help others sometime in the future when doing an internet search. Feel free to explore the forums because scams take many differing formats.
There are good people within the forums who are happy to advise on questions you may have.
