I got scammed online a few times.
Once I was hired by a person to post in a forum. After I am done with my works, the person stopped communication.
I lost $5.

That sucks. Were you able to do a chargeback to get your money back?

The deal was, after I finish my posts I would be paid.
Unfortunately the person stopped replying to me once I was done with my posts.

Ah I see.
Kind of sucks that they would do that.

I don't usually trust people that say they will pay you AFTER you do your job, unless I know them personally. But yeah, losing 5 dollars can mean a lot.

I haven't done any deals like that, really. But losing even $5 sucks.

I don't trust deals like that online, you don't know if they're a scammer or not.

I still work for people like that, but thankfully I don't get scammed nowadays.
The key is, to work with people you know very well.
