I had; by some counterfeit criminal organization from UK. I was offered to work as their payment receive n process agent here for the money order they received from customers in USA, i will be pay commission 5-10%. Their associates here will mail me a money order from other states pretend to be a customer with postal service m.o or bank cashier check like several thousand dollars, then i deposited in my bank and later wire the balance to UK. My bank verified the M.O is genuine and transfer fund into my account , after one month, just a day after i send the balance to UK, the payer bank declared m.o is counterfeited, my bank freeze my account and confiscate all my money,i lose all my saving to the bank fraudulent clearing system which they claimed they are not responsible for their check clearing process.

This is not about authenticity, it is about the financial institution here is fraudulent. I am not the only one and the first one got cheated in USA, the bank know counterfeit money order n cashier check scam but never want to change their flaw clearing system because counterfeit organization is able to establish banking corporation and abuse present system in USA. According to the bank manager, they have inter-bank accounting book when either bank can credit and debit the account at will, provided they come out with an excuse. In my case, the manager said the payer bank has the right to verify their cashier check is genuine and declared other wise after week or months because it is their rights i agreed upon when i open a bank account by signing all those "super tiny prints" contract paper. If i send my balance to UK after three months,a day after that; they can still freeze my account and seize my saving by claiming the cashier check is counterfeit even though they verified it is a good one. You see, different negotiable instruments here have different period of liability on the depositor , some last up to three years, either way, financial institutions here will always win because they are protected by banking law.

I have always received payment, too, but know some have had a bad experience with that. I try to stick to the most reputable sites, but you can always know a "con" before it happens. I feel bad for those who put in the work and then get "stiffed" so to speak.

Nobody has cheated me yet, but I have cheated somebody. Lol. [em]lol[/em. I didn't mean 'money'. I used to chat a lot when I was single and had boring nights in hostel. Those times I always used to lie on the personal details. Nobody wants to give correct details to a person you meet online.It is the kind of cheating I did.

No, not yet and I hope never to be cheated online. I don't do that much online money-making, but the sites I have worked with have all been reliable so far. I always research sites before joining and try to find out how reliable they are. If I find any reports about people not receiving payments or having problems, I won't join the site.

yes, only one time, and it's really fresh in my memory now, several years ago, when
i play a very popular online games, a person cheat much money in the game, although it's a game, but it hurts me, in my chirdhood,my grandfather always tell me that people should be honest, when you grow up, i also should be so, once you cheat someone, they won't believe you anymore.i miss my grand father, he's gone, but each thing he taught me, i will always remember,i'm so missing him,each time i miss him it all makes the tear in my eye...he is a kind aged!
