These days the thiefs, thugs and cheaters have gone digital too and that's how they cheat people who are not very good with technology and the cheaters are able to outsmart the innocent people. I have been getting many emails and texts even calls for that but I try to stay safe from these things. How is your experience with it?

I haven't lost money to a fraud, but someone did invade my account one time years ago and used my bank card to buy CD/s. I was able to get it straightened out though and did not lose any money due to it.

You were lucky that you didn't lose your money . There are lots of innocent people who became victim of such frauds and lose their hard earned money and culprits are never caught.

I once had an account watching YouTube paid on one of the websites I already had 56 $ more, withdrawing 80 $ with the condition of 15 referrals, and getting closer to 80 $ the video viewing value is getting smaller and longer to reach the withdrawal limit and now my account is gone because long time no use.

I think the websites which makes you earn this huge amount and then you need to have that many referrals too is an indication that they will scam

I did something stupid once. Nearly lost my money too. Luckily PayPal managed to retrieve it back as I was fast enough. Lesson learnt to think through since then.
