While discussing What does "I was had" mean?What does "I was had" mean? I've found there are some not so common usages of had in English like:

I have/had been had

(meaning "to get fooled")

but further Google search exposed even constructions like

I am been had

or even

I am had

and of course

I was had

from the question above. Are all of those grammatically correct? Can you give me some usage examples?
