Whats the latest scam you have fallen for?
 
Well as the title says, what is the latest scam that you so ignorantly fell for.

I bought a spare part for my cello online and it came about a month late and then didn't work and they wouldn't give me my money back. I once considered buying a Billy Mays product, that surely would have been a scam.

Police XP virus...that was drag to kill off. It took control of the computer, it didn't let me open up Task Manager to kill the thing it was downloading. I had to put a process in to take back control of task manager and kill it and the other files it spread in my computer. major annoyance

OMYGOSH! This happened to me in high school. I didn't fall for it but I didn't think it was a scam, the guys were just really pushy and scared me off. I didn't know there was a name for it lol

Heh. I had no idea that was so common it had a name. I didn't fall for it, but I had some jackass try to pull this one on me when I was in my early 20s. No offense to your husband but I'm amazed that anyone would think that some dude in a van trying to sell speakers to random people was anything but a scam.

It's cool..you can say it...it was completely dumb. I think it was even in a gas station parking lot in a seedy part of town. lol. He has his virtues...recognizing blatant scams just isn't one of them.

I got hit with the xp thing aswell, pretty easy to deal with though, I just opened up my start options and stopped it from ever loading again, haven't had any trouble since.
