What this forum is for

Share your story here if you were scammed or had a near miss, and would like to help others avoid the same situation. We advise you to change your name and to remove your email address from any emails you include. Your account may help someone else to recognise a scam and save themselves from it.

If you are not sure if something is a scam, please post in "Is this a scam?" instead, which you will find here.
