Hello everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression.

Today, a very serious word.

Be careful.

Listen carefully.

It is to get duped. To get G-E-T-to-be-com is the idea. To get duped. D-U-P-E-D. We always say it past tense. I was duped. I got duped. You're going to get duped. What does it mean to get duped to be duped?

It means to be tricked, to be deceived, to be swindled, to be taken advantage of. Usually it means that you lost your money. You bought something,

but then what you bought you didn't get. So you look at an advertisement and it says,

this will work every day perfectly and you buy it and it doesn't work

It's a piece of garbage. It's a piece of junk. So you call the company give me my money back and the company doesn't answer the phone

You got duped. They stole your money. You got tricked. Be careful, everybody,

especially online. Oh my goodness. I hear about stories where people invest their money. You know,

they buy an English class. It's no good.

They ask for their money back, but nope, they can't get it back.

They got duped.

Be careful.

This actually happened to me.

Check out the dialogue.

Sal, were you able to recover your file?

No, it's gone forever.

But you bought that software online.
