I dont know if it could be called a scam but i`ve participated on Multibot bounty campaign with a full thrust in the project otherwise wouldn`t promote them.
After the ICO ended the managers went quiet and they dont respond to any message here or on facebook. I`ve gotten my tokens in my wallet but they are worthless not being listed anywere.
I feel that i waisted a month for nothing and they could said something, even that the project will not go forward or something.

In my personal experience think I'm not victimized by scammers because since I started joining the signature bounty campaign in this forum I read a lot of security measure management in order not to fall into the scammers or fraud ICOs.
But I've been in fraud ICOs but I no incident that my money was taken away but it's just that I joined a bad ICO that didn't make it into proper market circulation.

I've been victimized by a Ponzi scheme disguised as the most trusted revenue sharing website.  Angry It made me think twice about the word most trusted next time I try to find another earning opportunity.

I have been scamed before by an Airdrop bounty. Once I clicked the link I don't know how my Etherwallet was hacked immediately. Uptill now the guy collects my tokens steady. It was a very bitter experience for me last year, 2017 though I have opened new wallets for my bounty now.

If this is not a secret can you write the token name? Maybe you could write how you found this token?

I am really interested in this topic and am writing Bachelor thesis about types of frauds on the internet. I believe it is serious problem and it is important to share your stories so others would be aware of these issues.

Please share your experience, where you faced scams, what were your losses, do you know anyone else who faced same issues?

Examples of scams:
1.) Shady Exchanges
2.) Pyramids and Ponzi Schemes
3.) ICOs
4.) Mining software with malware
5.) Emails from scammers.

I will be really thankful for your stories!
I had invested in a token, and it promised some exchanges, and then it would give me 10 times the return, but then these tokens became worthless, and I lost my money.
