None. I don't fall for scams. I'm highly intuitive which means that I have an internal "radar" that warns me when something is "hinky".

  I wish I was so lucky lol I've only lost $150.00. Enough to learn to do my reaserch beforehand!

  I wasn't lucky. I'm suspicious and discerning. I automatically mark all sounds to good to be true offers as "spam".
  
  Are you aware of snopes?

Lost? Only if you count what I spent on domain names for sites that ended up failing. So maybe $40 or so over the course of several years. But I don't consider those to be losses -- I've learned from each experience.
