Vegas. Hired two 10/10 hookers to my room. They wanted $1000 each, expensive but seemed worth it. They asked to be paid in advance then just walked out.

Yes. Every long or short I've opened on a futures exchange

Yes and like a fucking moron as a tourist in Jordan
Thankfully it was for $5 so not an expensive lesson

Yeah someone stole my tf2 hat

>>58019077
John McAfee convinced me to buy a medical token he said was going to skyrocket.

He even checked into a hospital saying he was poisoned by somebody and using the token in the hospital. Just a publicity stunt to pump his bags.

Token went bust.

>>58019077
I unironically lost $300 worth of digibytes in 2017 to a doubling scam on /biz/
>I'm rich, send me some tokens and I'll send you back twice as many
I don't know what drugs I was smoking but obviously the money never came back
I also let a times square rapper juke me for a $10 CD once but I don't regret it because it was the most hilarious mixtape of all time

>>58019190
>paying for hookers
>paying that much
How ugly are you? It's fucking Vegas. 5 minutes chatting any random whore on the street is all it takes to get laid there.

Yes i am a chainlink baggie and dont mind being a findom cuck. I also enjoy nigger cum all over my face

>>58019077
yeah i've paid gas fees before

Connected my wallet with some nft AirDrop scam kek lost 50 bux

>>58019190
why didn't you just kill them?

I would have my penis out on the other side of that window

>>58019190
Do you hold chainlink?

>>58019392
On runescape i lost a rune hatchet back when people dueled in lumby. Someone said to box them and then he put on weapons. I was like 13

>>58019512
I'm average looking I guess, but they were exceptionally hot. They claimed to be porn stars. They both approached me at the roulette table and chatted about what nasty shit they wanted to do to me. In hindsight i was stupid for a number of reasons, primarily I should have known the unwritten rule of vegas that bars hookers from talking to casino patrons while gaming. That should have told me they were just con artists and saw a stupid mark with a lot of money. Whatever I was young and got scammed, I learned and moved on. Actually in my business life I've gotten hit much much worse, but OPs pic reminded me of this incident.

>>58019077
Fucking indian scammed me on steam when i was sick and needed money
I hate indian/russians/nigerians scammers

>>58019077
I unironically lost 30k in a romance scam. I blame my aspergers

>>58019077
yeah, one time I bought this used car from a Cuban car salesman, it was a flood damaged lemon and I didn't know.

>>58019077
Yeah, this is why i don't buy anything shilled here.
2021 was "fool me once"

>>58019927
Story pls

>>58019077
Yes, I pay income tax every month

>>58019077
Yeah actually just recently got into shitcoining for years I was strictly a serious project investor. I got rugged on two coins I bought that were shilled here. It was only like $200 total so whatever. Lesson learned.

>>58021351
>being a taxcel
how does it feel to be funding israel

Bought a little tent for a festival from someone on fb marketplace. Turned up and he was outside in the street. Bought it without checking it out. Got home and there were no poles in the bag. He wouldn't answer the phone.

Lost $11k to one of those billionaires giving away free crypto on Twitter when I was off meds, during a previous week mania, and not thinking clearly

A whole bunch of rugs on BSC in 2021, made enough to offset my losses easily though

>>58019927
You probably have a bunch of water signs in your chart. They are prime targets for feels scams.

>>58019077
I paid $200 for a used laptop worth $140

>>58019077
Yeah once in Bali a group of exactly 18 year old girls offered me massage and implied happy ending then after awhile I'm like ok I'll take my shorts off now and then they pretended not to understand now all of a sudden they don't know good English so I got up and left and just paid a little bit since they scammed me

>>58019077
yes i was born.

>>58019927
You fed a village for 10 years

>>58019077
first time i ever tried using uniswap in 2020 for fucking statera, i used a phishing link and got my metamask drained

>>58019077
by Do Kwon, yes. but it's partially my fault for just FOMO'ing in without DYOR and not realising how unsecure and retarded his stablecoin was until after the fact

at least i wasn't dumb enough to ever to invest in HEX lol

>>58019077
Yes, I owned an Audi once

>>58019190
Idiot. Why didn't you take your money back by force?

>>58022680
What I going to do beat up women? Then what do I tell the cops if some white knight calls 911? Or if they send their pimp after me.

>>58022628
Bought a Q5. I sold it 3 months later what a piece of shit

>>58022844
Just hold them off and take your money back? It's not illegal if somebody steals money from you (if you don't turn it to an assault). Police would also be on your side if you're a victim of a theft.

>>58022680
>>58022844
>>58022920
>beating a hooker
>when you're alone
There's a reason hos like to rip off loners and losers and nerds without being afraid

>>58019077
Yeah I bought Algorand once.

>>58022938
>he doesn't carry a drop gun
Just shoot the pimp with a 3D printed or 80% turned 100% Glock that doesn't have a serial number. Use stolen or hand loaded ammo.

>>58022938
>alone
I was in a hotel room in Vegas. There were lots of people within earshot

$GME

>>58022972
So what? Even in a city like Vegas you wouldn't be safe from pimps if you're messing with his girls. Even if you were in the right these niggers will just case you, stalk you and mess you up in a nice and shy corner somewhere and rip you off even more.

I bought a slow rug last night because a jeet was on /biz/ telling everyone the dev was ‘based’. No I’m not being hyperbolic when I say rug. Price went straight to zero after I put $1k in

>>58019895
>They claimed to be porn stars.
Wow score dude

>>58021383
Non american here, but I'm sure I'm funding jews somehow

>>58019077

The US government forced me to sell my Russian energy stocks at a 40% capital loss ($20k) and froze my Russian telecommunications stock ($2k). I'd consider that a pretty big scam.

>>58019077

>tried to buy $100 of weed from a kid and he left me on the street corner for an hour before I realized he wasn't coming back

>loaned a gay pornstar $800 and took his laptop as collatoral
>sold me story that he needed laptop back to make some quick cash online and he would pay me soon
>gave him the laptop back and he fled to Florida

>bet big on Trump to win the 2020 election
>clearly rigged, but books ruled it a win for Biden

Got rugged for 3k last bull run

Changed quite a bit of money in Bali once, got back to my hotel room and counted it carefully (it seemed like shit loads when she changed it), and found I was severely short changed. I had a couple beers and let my anger build, then went back there and demanded my money. She reached under the counter and grabbed the rest of what I was owed without comment.

>>58019077
In EVE Online.

World's not a good or bad place. It's a mechanism. A mechanism that be understood. Those that try to change things on a macrolevel fight an uphill battle, because the farmers have their own interests going. /biz/ is onto to it with crypto. Not telling to change your thinking, your thoughts are your thoughts, I'm telling to understand the mechanism(s).

There is a structure. A structure to work with.

>>58019077
Gave a weedman 40 dollars and he just took off

Many deserve to be farmed. Many don't. And you can live a fulfilling while not understanding. Be worthy of not being farmed. If there's any "test" to this place, it's that.

We're all friends here. Can you tell us where to buy this? Can I DM you?

I met my rich Bear Daddy on there this is the new Grindr

>gets swindled all his life by weirdos and lowlifes in obvious scams
>gets swindled once more in 2020 (maybe also 2016) on yet another obvious scam

>still trying to make excuses
You're the exact person they are banking on, anon. Keep giving them exactly what they want!

I'm getting scammed by shitcoins RIGHT NOW

>>58019077
When I was a kid the neighbor kid painted two quarters with gold spray paint and tried to "scam" me with them by claiming they were "real gold" and trading them to me for two eggs (because he wanted to throw them at someone's house but his parents would notice missing eggs), and I let him do it while knowing the value of the eggs was less than 50 cents. Does the intention of scamming count, or do I have to have lost value for it to count?

>>58019077
washed and made sure our apartment was 100% perfectly clean before i left it. the guy kept the 500 usd deposit anyway. still seethe about it at night sometimes.

>>58019077
Lost about $8k in snowdog/snowbank scandal, had about $20k liquidity split among them and managed to make out okay vs others that day because I pressed that sell button. Other than that a couple more $1-3k defi losses cause either the protocool got hacked or their sister protocol which our treasuries were holding or i was asleep when the basic defi farm died and rugged.

FUCK DAOS & FUCK DEFI. Legit a midtwit trap that requires too much upfront liquidity (high risk) for lil to no reward. I'll buy a NFT before throwing a couple stacks in lp's for ~120% apr.

>>58021884
luna made me retarded money kek

>>58019077

With Linu, and Trump

>>58025585

Hey I did 100x with MAGA

>>58025591

Not 100x but I get 30x maybe

>>58025585

Ha Ha you´re rtrded. Greedy holder

>>58025585

Go mexico beaner

Countless eth BSC and now SOL rugs probably to the tune of 50k or more in total. Made a lot more than that but probably a cumulative estimate for being in the hustle since 2017 and shitcoins since ‘19. I’ve spent about 40 eth in gas for reference.

>>58019077
Some retard tried to force me to accept a trade of 50k on vinu for 1.5 of a shitcoin that looked similar to bitcoin while making it pass as the real thing
Obviously i didn't fucking accept

>>58019077
Yes, an application for an apartment that was fake. Fuck you Raneesh.

I had 12k in Anchor when USDT collapsed

I fell for the rune plateleg gilding some time in 2005. Haven't been scammed since.

>>58021884

>>58025518
love this story thanks. I'd say you actually scammed him

>>58019077
yeah I got scammed in WoW one time, guy only paid me half of what he owed me for a boost. I never recovered mentally so I spend my days on 4 chinz now

>>58026130
yeah, he was so transparent that he made sure he was the only gook hiding out in serbia trying to cash out lol

>>58021286
why did this crack me up so much?

>>58019077
i paid 20 bucks for a literal bag of grass in the bahamas about 10 or 12 years ago. they got smashed by a tropical storm later that year so it balanced itself out

tried to buy an ASIC, but the website was fake, had the McAfee verification and everything.

>>58019190
Well that's really pathetic anon

>>58019077
Yes, on Instagram, the had a fake advertisement up. Fucking shit company I hope they burn in hell.

>>58026797
me too, i must be retarded

I got scammed by coss. They exit scammed with about 25k worth of my xinfin network.

>>58019895
I would have fallen to. Women that hot dont really exist in the real world

Thousands of years ago, I got scammed by a Nigerian on Omegle.

It was so long ago, maybe 2014, that the tech he had was very impressive. Basically he had a piece of software with some white girl on webcam and he had buttons he could press to make her make different expressions and laugh and stuff. So he's like "lets move to skype" which I do, but my skype was hooked up to my real email, so essentially after some Internet masturbating his cam suddenly flipped to a recording of my cam and some message that he was going to email everyone on my facebook contact list (same email as skype, RIP), with my jerking off vidya.

I told him "damn, that sucks, guess my aunt's gonna see my dick" and then he took a different turn like "bro im very poor I live in africa pls send me some money"

so I tried to hook up a western union for 200 bucks, but WU wouldn't let me send it because I failed ID check somehow, so I was like "bro it's moneygram or nothing, but can you show me how the software works?"

So he showed me the interface and the buttons and all the stuff he could make the girl do on cam, it was an interesting experience. He kept sayin he wasn't gay but he was trying to see my asshole (I refused).

In retrospect, maybe we could have been gay together and gotten married. Oh well. He never picked up the Moneygram. Ships in the night.

>>58025478
It's correct to say that a mark needs to have a certain level of denial and desperation in order for a scam to work. A man who is happy with his situation and keeps a sound mind is very difficult to scam. My teens and 20s were full of wins and mistakes, but if a young man is completely insulating himself from making mistakes then he's not really getting out of his comfort zone and growing. Just my opinion.

Your take on Trump is interesting, because there is a large segment of the White population who is desperate and in denial about their situation. It doesn't change the fact that Trump clearly won the election. No gaslighting jew is going to convince us otherwise.

When I was like 14, yes

>>58021884
same here, I was dumb enough to try to swing trade it when it dumped 99% just to experience another 90% dump, lost 3k$ in the process. welp

yep, that's your typical /biz/ shitpost
I had to smile

>>58019895
You are a sheep to be shorn.

>>58019190
had a similar thing happen in eastern europe. I ordered an escort and she looked nothing like the pics, and spent 30 minutes trying to not have sex, in which time i became disgusted with my life and myself for what i was doing. I wanted her to leave and she wouldnt unless i gave her another $200

im pretty sure this happens >20% of the time someone meets an escort. they are professionals at dealing with incels

I've bought a few honey pots that were shilled on here, now I'm only here for memes. Never listen to /biz/ just bee urself

>>58021588
You have to be a poojeet. That is turbo poo mentality.

>>58023157
NTA but something about the prospect of banging a pornstar is hot AF. Even though on paper it's should be disgusting. Probably some evolutionary monkey brain shit . I once had a chick over that told me she did porn and it sent my midichlorians into overdrive.

Anon let me help you rug too

>>58019077
Since everyone else ITT had experiences with sex workers:

idk if this counts as a scam, because I got what I expected and wanted, but I paid findoms over cashapp to make fun of me a few times. Probably some of the most pleasant experiences I've had with women... Sad, I know

>>58019077
Yeah. Bought a tron shitcoin in 2018

>>58019077
I cashed out about $2.5 mil way back in late 2017. I quit my job and spent 8 months dicking around in asia. Mostly Japan and Korea, but a few other places. Everywhere I went I bragged about my "sick gains" like a total fucking idiot, including (and especially) to women. I fucked a LOT of women, mostly hookers or soapgirls but not entirely, and a lot of times unprotected, like a hedonistic fucking idiot drunk on my "success."

Near the end one I fucked a few times showed me a pregnancy test. Told me it was real, told me she wanted to marry, she was going to tell her family, etc. I fucking flipped my shit, got super scared, ended up paying her like $15,000 to leave me alone forever. I remember calling my fucking bank to ask if an international wire of that amount to a random bank I'd never heard of would be OK at 3am KST, fucking lmao.

That basically ended my trip and is what shocked me back into reality. Looking back, who knows if it was real and even if it was whether the kid was mine. I should have just told her to fuck off and left the country; I doubt I'd be found despite using my real name (another dumb mistake). Just young and dumb and panicking. I guess I should just be grateful I only got a single fucking STI the whole time and it was one of the ones you can treat. Anyway, taught me to be a lot more cautious going forward.
