Unhappy General question about scammers online

I am sorry if I am posting this in wrong section but I just wanted to find out if any one of you people has been a victim of online scam. I have recently been ripped off about $3000. I am really frustated and wanted to know what to do.

About what?... preventing a re-occurrence, getting it back?

Without divulging the exact details it's not possible to offer much without knowing more about the circumstances.

We often find that folks make seemingly innocent posts in our forum and then follow up the replies with some sort of "gotcha" link

I suppose the best general advice is to stay alert to everything and trust nothing.
