Topic: First time scammed , very frustrated - page 7. (Read 1896 times)
It happens with many of us. Scammers are in every field we should be more cautious while doing transactions because scammers always wanted us to scam. From next time always more careful or double-check the contract address of the ICO if you plan to invest. 0.25 Eth at the current value is not a small amount. Always follow the official website or links do not try to open by typing that can lead to a phishing link.
This is one of the main things we need to beware of. It is very difficult / impossible to get back our tokens that we have sent.
I'm sorry that you learned this in a direct way and they managed to scammed you.

Sorry to hear that man. Thing of it is, where ever there's money to be made, there's gonna be lowlife scammers trying to trick you out of it.
Latest fad of scams, closely resembling the 2017 ico scam phase, is the BSC yield farming rugpull phase.
All these meme and food coins coming out, it's getting ridiculous

I am sorry for your losses. I remember when I first got scammed and it is really not a nice feeling, doesn't matter how great or newbie you are in the crypto world you could always get scammed because there are zero indications of being a scam beforehand for most of them, obviously there are some that you know but you do not get scammed by those anyway, there are Nigerian prince scams and not like we get scammed about those because those are definitely simple stuff we are well aware of but there are still a lot of ponzi schemes that change brand and shape and people still believe that, just offer people 10% monthly return and give them that money for a few months and suddenly people will think that you are legit, they will all call you ponzi for the first few months but when you are capable of offering people that return for let's say 1 year, suddenly you are legit and a ton of money will come in and you could still scam even the veterans.

It is really hard to move on, of course, we work very hard for that money and in an instant, we lose it all it is really depressing but we should learn to accept it yes and move forward, but we should learn to pause for a while because we need to emotionally stable at first so we can make another trading plan and we should raise awareness so that we will never be victimized by a scammer, remember there's no easy money in trading.
Move forward and work with enhancing your knowledge, if you already been victimized nothing you can do but to accept that and take it as challenged to move on and find the best way to recover and earn more.
It is gone and we have to move on. It gives us learning not to fully give trust to someone we know online unless if you have a lot of transactions done before. Because mostly scams happen in telegram group, someone pretending to be good and be consistent with what he/they promise but once your trust got caught, that will be the time they start to demand you and finally scammed thing to happen next.
Just invest xxx and I give you returns twice, it a common scam trick and most newbies had become a victim this broken and very attractive offerings.

Once you're scammed or fooled, that's the end for your holdings. The least thing you can do is to learn from what happened and to avoid not being a victim again. If there are possible ways to regain your losses, do every bit of it but as you are trying to get yours back, never forget what brought you into such situation. With that, you'll be wiser next time. Scam projects and the likes won't stop as long as there are people who are still falling for their scheme. Always make precautions such as asking to other people if something is bothering you or simply if you are not sure with what you are doing. That won't cost you much.

Almost everyone who is new to crypto goes through the scam phase as many of them see that earning profits in crypto is easy. but they are wrong because there is a high risk behind it. it can be used as a lesson for @OP to be more careful. I myself have several times experienced fraud in ICO cases or unclear tokens. I have stopped it for 2 years buying altcoins that do not have a clear concept and team
This is a lesson learned for you... hope this kind of scam wont get you again.. Telegram is the home of scammers, tehy are good at imitating supports or administrators
Sorry for your loss but yep humans do mistake even we already experienced it. Scammers are everywhere and it seems scammers are really smart nowadays they made a clone of an official telegram channel but a fake, thanks for sharing this information I'm aware of this now.
Yes, there a lot of scammers in telegram and I experience it again yesterday. They will chat you if you have problem with any of the token. I experience it in pancakeswap and after I joined them and ask some help. A lot of people ask me what happen and they told me to send some ETH to the address they give so that they will give back my tokens. One of them told me to send to them my private keys to manually recover the tokens but I didn't give them. I know they are scammers and I'm okay with the tokens does not send back to my wallet rather than give them my private keys. 
You must always aware of the real admin will always put a special mark on its telegram name. You must never believe the admin that was PMing you about the opportunity to invest in the coin.
There are a bunch of scammers in the telegram group and that will become a disaster when you are not aware of this dude.
Telegram is very well known as the place with so many scammers. Scammers are very active in searching the new victims.

well, we need to be careful about such things. however, very many people would create clones to deceive potential investors. in fact this is very much the case on telegram. they imitate everything on the telegram admin or the person in charge. to be honest I have also been a victim of something like this. well, however, we need to be thorough before investing.
I believe that 90% of people have been through this. you have to keep up the spirit to earn money, buddy

I feel bad for you, but seems like you know how to earn in crypto, but why are you get scammed? did he promised you returns that you can't resist? mostly scammers will lure you to invest with great rewards these are mostly because people are too greedy that they want immediately have money from a ico or any form of invesment, I hope next time you will not be a victim anymore.
I really sorry you've lost your money but don't do such silly things anymore. You shouldn't believe to all information that is put in telegram channel especially connected with buying tokens. There's always a possibility to be caught by scammers. There are official sites of bounty campaigns and different projects. Use them to buy tokens/coins, but be again patient and always check URL before entering the site, even if you enter exchange site.
Better not to dwell on negative experiences. You've heard more than once that the crypto market is a very insecure and unstable place. It is a pity that every day one of the users falls for the bait of scammers, but this suggests that every day you need to be more careful and recheck information about sites, exchanges and coins several times.
The more in demand the crypto world, the more scammers, because cheating is the easiest way to get your money. Beginners should be especially careful, as they usually always fall for different methods of deception.

That's right, since last year the scammers have continued to increase and create fake projects that are almost similar to the real ones, so that new people in crypto fall victim to them because they are trapped in it, that's why information like this can be so valuable to everyone. 
Unfortunate experience I also encounter like this one in Uniswap but I always ask on official group of a project Im investing the correct smart contract, there are many of them everyday creating fake projects you can even count fake similar tokens everyday same Project names if you did not research carefully you might end up like Op so always be careful.
Also in Tron they will send you airdrop token with complete details including website and when you visit that website you will see the interface just like Uniswap with swap function but beware instead of swaping the button will just send your tusdt or tron into scammers wallet.

The best advice is to not forget how you feel about it now, hopefully you wont be in that position again. Use it as a lesson to carry with you. Im still pissed about being scammed back in 2014 out of what is now a shit load of bitcoin. Not only do you lose the money you sent, but your extra prize and cherry on top is you get to look and feel really stupid about it haha. Remember anytime you move coin out of your wallet there is always a chance it wont come back, be stingy with your outgoing transactions. shake it off boss, more profits to be had.
Very very sad one. This won't happen to you again. There are tons of Telegram scammers in every project group and thats how they work. Just know that anyone asking you fkr money to solve a problem in any project is a scammer. Project admin won't send a direct message first to ask for money.
