I agree that not all here, but what's for sure is most of the members experienced being scammed. Even newbies and jr.members that have known bitcoin longer before joining this forum. Well especially those who wants easy money, who always wanted to take high risk on doubler, hyips, cloud mining.

I wouldn't say all members here would have experienced being scammed before but i know that too many have been. There wouldn't be a scam accusation board here if scamming was mot so wide spread in the bitcoin community.

Bitcoin being an non reversible currency makes it very appealing to a thief so there will always be scams around it.
It goes with having full control of you finances, most people have become quite relaxed about the bank cash security because everyone thinks that if it is lost then it's always the banks fault and you will get your money back, trust me it's not that easy with all the hoops they make you jump through.

As the title do you think guys many people here are experienced scam or all members of this forum except newbie and jr.member experience scam by investment site or cloud mining or any other services?
Most member, provably but I won't say everyone has experienced to be scam. Some people are more cautious than others when it comes to money  so I don't think they make make or do something that will put their money on risk which may result for their money of gettin lost.

Of course not . I personally never got scammed before , It's pretty simple to avoid scams but sometimes people overtrust the "reputation" or "trust" in the forums and don't deal using Middleman/Escrows which leads them to get scammed.
As for Cloud mining , I came a little bit late to the bitcoin community and I suppose that was an advantage for me (because I saw how untrustworthy cloud mining companies could be) so I never enrolled in them. I also follow some rules that I never break

  • I don't keep my funds in exchanges or gambling websites
  • I don't use wallets that don't give me control over my private keys (like Coinbase for example)
  • I don't download "Bitcoin generators" executables (If you know what I mean).
  • I don't use exchange with .biz , .xyz domains or bad design or that have no reputation on web.

I think everyone who tried to do business online have a story to tell about being scammed at one point of their online life and I'm not an exception to that but the amount of money that was scammed to me is not big enough so that means I can still sleep at night. I was one of those who got scammed by this Sergey Mavrodi's MMM it's just $18. They changed their rules almost every month to a point where you will not be able to withdraw your investment. Lesson learned.

Bobby Fischer was right
Yeah it is highly likely to experience scam at some point.
If not cloud mining, scam coins than faucets and p2p scam.
Probably everyone will stumble upon some fishy thing on their path.
That's just how it is with people, quick bucks, unreal promises can and will elude you at some point.
I'm still pretty naive if its about faucets. Not a big risk, only time to loose.
Either way, its always a bit infuriating to be cheated, even if nothing is lost.
