The only somewhat scam I had was a webmaster I had talked to and bought some content from contacted me and asked if I could do a epass for Paypal transfer (this is back before Epass crashed and burned). They needed $200. I agreed. I sent them the money via Epass and only after I do my transfer do they tell me that It will be a day or two until they can get me my money. They are selling some content to a different webmaster and they will have that webmaster send me the payment for it.

I wasn't happy about it, but about 48 hours later the money did show up in Paypal.

However, a few weeks later this person never got their content. I contacted the seller and was promised they were shipping it out ASAP. A week later still nothing. The person that bought the content then tells me they want a refund. If I don't give them a refund they will be going to Paypal with a complaint. They tell me that they realize I didn't have anything to do with this lack of service, but I was the one who got their money.

I ended up refunding their money because I didn't want to deal with a Paypal investigation since I used my Paypal all the time back then for selling stuff on Ebay.

Every week for six months I contacted the content seller asking for my money and never got it. Eventually they made a post on GFY offering content for sale and I posted in the thread how they scammed me out of $200. Someone that bought some content from them made a deal. If they got a certain price on all the content they would give me the $200 was owed.

So, in the end I did get my money, but it took six months and was a pain in the ass. That person that scammed me had the balls to then ask me a few weeks later if I would consider doing another transfer for them.

Oh, and I guess iBill does owe me about $500 from when they went out of business.
