Do games count? I got scammed on runescape out of a 50mil item which was a lot at the time (this was sometime around 2003-2005). 50-100 hours of time for me to get it at an estimate. It was a stupid mistake that I thought I was smart enough to avoid, with what I now recognise as classic signs of a scam (slightly too good to be true, moving goal posts, slightly odd but not entirely unreasonable requests, time sensitive).
But I can tell you I’m glad I got scammed young on a game, because it was a good lesson with very low actual harm (only time lost realistically) and made me WAY more wary of things.
