Just read this article, a nice piece about Bitcoin scams with an example - http://cryptofinance24.com/how-not-to-scam-people-p428-171.htm
The example story about one scam there is just hilarious. The scam is so bad, but people still fall for it Huh

So, have you ever got scammed, or know some good stories to share with others to help them learn from others mistakes?

if you take a closer look at this issue of sca, apart from the fact that the scammer presents his or her case so coordinated and in a way that is confident enough to have convinced his/her victim, the victims most times have some element of greed in them too. remember that it was not hacking but scamming. so, a little of greed in the victim has made the victim to get scammed

The reason behind Bitcoin or any scam is scammers think that scamming is the easiest way to earn money. But, in the fact, (most) legitimate ways are much easier than scamming. So, why aren't scammers thought to waste their scammy creative mind to build something legitimate? As I feel, bad karma.

I have never been scamed but I know that people are very naive and they will beleive everything you tell them or show them, especialy if they think they might get or earn something in a easy way.
Despite so huge number of scams they still are not cautios and suspicious enough. We need more awareness and education campaigns, ignorance is exactly something that scamers are counting on.
Don't ever forget, if something is too good to be true, it isn't!

i think a big part of this is because there are a lot of kids around in cryptocurrency market. for example with all the free giveaways of small amounts such as "bounties" and "airdrops" a lot of kids were introduced to this market. then they eventually want more money but they don't know how to do it so they fall for these scams which are obvious to us but maybe not to them.

Scammers are in any field. So everything in this world is a scam? A fork (for eating Grin

) can be killed. Forbidding forks? Fraud is committed to people, not bitcoin.

Yes, of course. There are scams everywhere there is a possibility to scam. But, as we are here on a crypto forum, we should be talking about the scams that are about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I think it is important we educate people who are new and do not know all these scams etc.

I like crypto podcasts...

I think there should be more articles like this. There are people who are looking for quick buck and big returns and do not do their due diligence. Also people are just bad when it comes to learning from others mistakes. Articles like this help to increase the awareness, and decrease the chance of these scammers getting any more money. Thanks for sharing!

This type of scams have been around for so long and people still falling for them? Just use a well known brand, create a fake website and enjoy? LOL
