Topic: First time scammed , very frustrated (Read 1863 times)
it's just too unfortunate that most newbies always fall victim to these desparate scammers. I was once a victim like yourself, then i almost lost all my fund but thank God i'm getting through it now.
Be careful. There are also such scammers who put a profile picture of a project, introduce themselves as administrators and demand to pay for all sorts of nonsense
Yes, and things like that have happened a long time ago in the crypto space, so anyone can do it to trap other people in this, so it is true that caution is still a priority for anyone in entrusting others.
it is a very meaningful experience in our life surrounded by scammers. So that there are no losses, we must be able to store our wallets in a very safe place so that scammers cannot access them. And I also believe that almost 50% of crypto users have experienced this event, and most of it happened to new users. because new users do not have extensive knowledge and easy to trust anyone.
Hackers are those responsible hacking your wallet, while scammers are those facilatators of scam projects
determining those people that sorrounds this market is very important.
Take the challenged and keep improving your skills, it will prevent you from being target and victimized
by this illegal activities.

I sympathize with what happened to you, I hope that by reading your review other people will not experience the same thing. therefore I hope that in the future I need to be more careful and do not easily believe the offers of greater profit if you have never visited their Websait. because most of the official projects have a clearer website.
It's not easy to be tempted by fantastic profits is the key, and learning from experience is a teacher, especially in crypto, everything is possible. The slightest wrong decision can cause tremendous losses.

This is not what happened to Op he was scammed by sending his eth to a wrong address instead of a legit smart contract from Polkastarter this kind of scam right now is very common so to avoid this happens to anyone you should ask in official telegram group of specific project so many scammers right now in uniswap and pancake projects be very careful before sending. 
There is a start for everything , so i just get first time scammed and hope last time.

Sometimes we learned some lessons with the hard way so we won't fall for the same mistake later.
Always be aware of fake admins in telegram because the real admin never message you first.
Usually there are warnings about fake admin on the telegram group pinned message, that is why it is important to read them before contributing your money.

this is where we have to be really careful and careful and choose something because lately there are so many incidents like this and of course this is very detrimental to us all. Bad guys always have sneaky ways to carry out their actions.
Hopefully this is the last time and make this an example so that not many people get stuck into the same mistake.
just take the wisdom that there may be when you are losing money, but you can learn from the experience that has now happened

Sorry mate, I just hope you'd be more careful next time to avoid repeating such mistakes, it's good that you reported it here so that others can learn and avoid falling for the same trap, try to be more careful next time Telegram is like a scammers paradise I got scammed there sometime ago, I was really mad at myself just falling for that cheap scam, but one thing that did to me is that it taught me a lesson not to trust any random person on the internet,same goes for you verify the address before sending.
What we ought to consistently trust on is interestingly not to be a lot to clear off our life reserve funds. It's the price everybody pays for declining to listen to their inward man. I had mine in 2017 when I began in the crypto world as a noob. I saw the signs however decided to overlook them. Obviously, even for your situation, there were pointers to what exactly parted with the site as fake however you were in a flurry to invest without doing your due research.
Very sorry for your loss. If it's for your consolation I was robed for more than $100k, which was 90% of my portfolio at that moment.
I find a lot of transaction to this address https://ethplorer.io/address/0xc88b5f4aae1c8f2778def2257b6baf1ba62e4b09 more than 21 ETH.
It will be fine if you open scam accusations and post all proof which you have about them. It will not help you, but maybe you will save someone's else money.

Ouch! that's a huge loss
. How did you come back from it? 
incidents of such fraud often occur in other ways. various modes are carried out by fraudsters, including the way you mention it. therefore I can only suggest that in the future continue to be vigilant and the importance of conducting further analysis.
almost frustrated and not working more than two weeks when first time my HIVE coin received from bounty campaign hacked, I loss much money there but I try to wake up and thanks God I got more than my loss, I don't know why many scammer not afraid stolen other fund and not thinking what happen if their wallet atole by the other.

Sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing here, it will help people to stay away from scams. getting scammed is your first step in learning trading. If you are not scammed then you haven't learned trading yet.
You can check scammer wallet on twitter or facebook social media because they have proof some time maybe joined some bounty campaign project or joining with airdrop, you can see their twitter account but if use new wallet and never any proof with bounty or airdrop project maybe very difficult to know the owner this address.
It doesn't really matter as you can't do anything even if you find out the scammer social media accounts or wallet addresses. Instead of crying and having regrets over spilled milk, it would a very much better to just come to terms thst what's lost is lost and move on. The prime focus should be about regaining what was lost.
That’s very frustrating and you can’t do anything about it anymore, charge it to your experience. Next time always double check the group or people you follow because a lot of crooks are pretending to be someone and faking projects so be careful. I hope you learn something from that unfortunate event.
Scammers are always available on telegram so it's always recommended to be on our guard at all times. The very moment you lose you guard, they take from you.

Even if you do know, then what would you gonna do? It would really be just useless if you are trying to investigate or locate it out and its better to move on rather than making yourself finding into somethingwhich isnt really clear yet on whose behind those scams and hacking.
You wouldnt even know if those personal informations you have gathered are accurate or just an another cover up for their tracks.Unless if the lost amount is worth to fight for
the i might consider but if not then you are just basically wasting your time and money.
Be careful on next time, since you do have already the experience and idea then getting scammed next is not really likely to happen at all.

Well, these scammers will not be going anywhere as long as there is money they will be everywhere. The thing we can do regard this to be knowledgeable in order to outsmart them. I hope this mistake would serve as a lesson for everyone. That is why we need to scrutinize all the projects that we are going to invest in before releasing our money because once you send them away there's no turning back, no way you can retrieve them. All you need to do now is to accept what happens and move on from it, at least you have felt how to be scammed you will now be able to tell the difference which is fraud or not. One more thing you should always double-check the address before proceeding to a transaction.
That’s very frustrating and you can’t do anything about it anymore, charge it to your experience. Next time always double check the group or people you follow because a lot of crooks are pretending to be someone and faking projects so be careful.
