I agree with Chris' first reply...
It is not fair to the others on here itching to help someone, to have to deal with totally illiterate and inconsiderate posters who just want to rant and rave about a deal they got into because of their stupidity.

I am not talking about the occasional spelling or grammar mistake, but how the hell are you suppose to understand something like... THISGUYMADEMEMADBECASEHERIPEDMEOFWHENHETOLDMEHISPA RTISBRNADNEWWHENACTULLYITISTOTALYJUNKANDHEGOTMYBRA NDNEWSTUFINTRADFORHISTRADE...

I don't care who you are... that is NOT funny...!

This level of education reveals the preliminary reason this guy got scammed... and I am sorry but that is not OUR problem...!

Does "Buyer Beware", "Investigate thoroughly", "Get a second opinion", and "If it is too good to be true, it is" not mean anything any more...?

Yes, I believe in the old cliche "There are no stupid questions", but these posters are not asking "questions" for help, they are just ranting and raving for attention to make others feel sorry for their stupidity.
And YES, I have done that myself, so I know what I am talking about, but no it really didn't make me feel any better...

I also agree there should be a re-direct (before posting) to a sticky with the "Rules of Posting Complaints". Then if the whiner wants to either educate himself, or find a literate person to put his complaint to ink, then so be it... and we will try to help him/her anyway we can...

Did you really just say this;

"This level of education reveals the preliminary reason this guy got scammed... and I am sorry but that is not OUR problem...! "

So are you saying that its more likely a high school educated person will be scammed than a college educated one?

So should you expect to be scammed if you dont have sufficient education?

Help me out as I am having a hard time following this logic.

I would have thought the primary reason was intent to scam by the dishonest party.

True... if YOU don't do your homework, you are more likely to fail the test!

Gullible and un-informed people who are easy targets are what keeps these scammers in business!

Unfortunately, even some of us with a fair amount of common sense STILL get scammed by the best con-men out there. That is when all of us here on this forum try to help the victims recover their losses from these crooks.

Sadly though, if every victim were to admit it, a large part of the fault is not taking the time and effort to properly do our HOMEWORK!

So, before you go off on me, I am NOT an educated genius, and have been scammed myself a couple times. And yes, I realize it was more my fault that anyone elses, so I will not cry and whine to the whole world about MY screwup for not doing my homework.

So might it be more about lack of experience rather than lack of education?

Ok... a little of both... Wordly Experience, AND Wordly Eductation... which could more commonly refered to as general Common Sense.

I have seen way too many intellectual college educated idiots who can't even use a screwdriver, but they can argue the theory of relativity...
Einstein could not even tie his own shoes... and Rednecks make the best entertainment, but God help them all... :shock:

Lack of education,worldly experience, common sense, plus about 100 other factors could be why we've all been scammed at one time or another. But the real reason peopled get scammed is because of piece of **** people that have no pride,principles or morals.
You simply have the scammer and the victim. JMO

The only thing i can say is this : DRTRCR22 You are a over educated idiot if you think that someone need's a higher education to keep from being scammed, It happen's to people with a much higher education than your's everyday, And no i don't know what education you have and really don't care, You are showing it right here for everyone to see :!: :!: :!:

WE LOOSE THE MAIN REASON FOR THE SECTION. i read this alot , however i usually dont get to the end because it looses my attention by getting so far off course its not even 'FUNNY?' i have seen complaints start fine but end in bull crap gossip that should be in another section. education has nothing to do with getting taken advantage of? even someone with a PHD can be robbed. i am a looser, dont need attention just posting my opinion. but > GOD BLESS happy holiday!
