There are so many ways to get scammed nowadays, it’s insane. It even becomes interesting to see how creative some people can get with their scams. I think it’s important to point out that you can get scammed at pretty much every step of the process, from getting tricked by patent lawyers into patenting a weak invention, to getting your idea stolen, or to paying huge amounts of money to companies that do “market research” for you. Of course, these are just a few of the most obvious examples.
