I dont know your age or how much you lost and I feel very bad for you even if it was only a small amount. However a number of years back I had a similar story where I did something foolish like you did and sent money to some Chinese scam artists. It was a significant amount of money to me and it hurt bad. Looking back, it was a very valuable learning experience. It taught me that
1. China is full of scam artists which is a fact.
2. Anyone asking you to send money in a way where you have no way of retrieving it if something goes wrong is up to something wrong and it is highly likely he/she is a crook.
3. When doing business on the internet always do extensive research on the company, website…that you want to do business with. Be very wary if they are brand new and just opened and havent been around for a couple of years. If a company is a scam it is likely they scammed others and there will be info on the company that you can simply find by googling the company name and the word scam or ripoff…
4. If the price is too good to be true, it isnt true! Nobody is trying to make you rich or give you the deal of a lifetime. Know the going price range and if it is way below the going rate you are guaranteed it is counterfeit or you will never get the merchandise you are expecting.
Bottom line, you just earned your degree in online business the same way I did. Consider it an investment in common sense. You wont make the same mistake again, and if you do, well…then you are a naive fool who is asking to be fleeced.
