I have never been scammed but i have witnessed the famous 1000 ETH or 1000 BTC giveaway scam on twitter where hacked verified twitter profiles are used to scam greedy people who think everything is free on the internet.
Don't participate in scammer website, new user maybe didn't know, but old user must learn to new user. So new user not got scammed.
I got scammed once. It wasn't a big amount, but about 100 USD. It was a cloud mining scheme. I was a noob as well at this time and didn't do enough research about the company and the project. Looking back there were some red flags, but I couldn't notice them. Biggest of them was that there were already some scam accusations on the internet about them. Wish I had googled them. They are not active anymore, at least not with this project. Maybe they have started new one, who knows. So, keep your eyes opened and do your homework, check the backgrounds of people who are managing the project and so on.

So bad that some people still fall in this kind of scam and also in scam in general. They should search before and search again and only if they are 100% sure that the site where send coins "money" are legit. Also people should protect when access the internet and put an antivirus on their PC and on mobile phone and never click or access suspicous links received on email or by SMS.

Scammers can fool us anywhere, so you have to be very careful. Unfortunately, virtual wallets and, in general, systems are also easier to open, therefore you cannot be 100% sure of them
First of all, I believe that everyone is responsible for themselves and you need to figure out where you are investing money and understand the consequences.

What i dont get, are those people who actually try to copy youtubers or something to get money. how can those be succesful with it? They are not able to verify anything. You see it in many channels, someone join -- saying: Greate Project, im a youtuber with 100k subscriber and stuff.
Yeah, you might think so, but still there are plenty of people who fall for it. I mean, a supposedly famous person asks you for some money, you will give it to them

I'm not sure if a scam could ever be funny, particularly if I lost money in it. 
But I agree we can enjoy reading posts about people who got scammed because we can learn a lot from such stories. Out of every bad thing something good can come if we are positive. I truly believe that. I found the De Niro movie 'Wizard of Lies' to be chilling. It was a compelling movie, not easy to watch but you couldn't leave it. It was about a scammer, but you ended up feeling sorry for him in a way. It wasn't about crypto currency, but after all, money is money and scams are scams. Whatever the currency.
