What's the most money you have been scammed out of? Or even almost scammed out of? What did you do?
I just bought a car recently, nearly new. And although I only feel slightly scammed (The car is good but I am getting half of it on a finance deal, but that isn't too uncommon) I am pissed off at the attitude of the people at the place I bought it from. They keep forgetting to call me when they're supposed to.
It just got me thinking what would I do if I had been scammed? I don't know, some sort of vigilante retribution?
On a general day to day basis I don't make big purchases often, and I avoid people who even approach me first with any sort of offer even when they say they're definitely not selling anything.
This is probably the first big purchase I've made in my life. My family went a bit crazy when they found out how much I'd spent but I can assure you it's not that much in general car terms but my family doesn't have loads of money so it is a lot to us.
The way I see it is that I do save up like a maniac and at least I don't spend my money on drink, drugs or gambling like a hell of a lot of my friends do.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
