Ever been scammed by an ad?

I was when trying to download uTorrent of all things clicked the wrong button, didn't realize that and ended up infecting my PC, have never looked back from an adblocker since.
Someone in my family was about to fall over for the you have won an iPhone/S9 etc. thing. They were about to handover their cash when they asked me which phone they should use; would've ended up paying monthly subscriptions for nothing.
One time I also ordered from the adverts you see on TV. It was a chopper where you put things and punch it and they would supposedly come out finely chopped. Broke in two days while trying to cut an onion. Never again.
Have you ever been scammed like this by an advertisement online or otherwise?
