My uncle bought a site from someone 25-30 years ago. Turns out that guy sold the same site to multiple people. The sad thing is no one knows the exact location of it. Now it's a prime residential area in a metropolitan city.

Depends on how you define a "scam". We all lose some 70-80% of our productive capacity to the business "shareholders" every year.

Lost 30 USD in a crypto scam haha, early days of me exploring crypto. Made a lot more after that thankfully. Very easy to lose money in crypto and trading in general if you're not careful.

Should've just bought and held bitcoin ethereum instead of trading it actively. Would've been less stressful, more profitable.

A friend made an advance payment for a rental on some apartment she found online. They paid via UPI. The mistake they made was they didn't verify validity of owner/agent, they paid to some rando online who claimed to be an agent. They lost 20k I tjink

My dad invested a very hefty amount in a fraudulent real estate builder. The scamster is in jail at the moment but we haven't recieved even a single penny from that company. It's been 8 long years.
