Topic: Have You Been Scammed? - page 14. (Read 3494 times)
Students learn strategies for guarding against identity theft and scams that try to access their private information online. They learn what identity theft is, what kinds of information identity thieves want, and what can be done with that information. Students then analyze phony emails and identify tricks that identity thieves use online. Finally, they create a phishing email that includes the features that they have learned about, and see if classmates can identify the scams.
I guess most people who have been into cryptocurrency had been scammed at least once in their crypto life. Being scammed is not a bad thing too because we can learn a lot from it. My first experience was awful. It was when I first learned about bitcoin way back 2011, I invested my salary on bitcoin and tried to multiply it by investing. I wasn't able to withdraw my bitcoin and my earnings because what I have invested in to was a scam.
Yes i have been scamed but not as a investore...but just like a bounty hunter because some compaigns was not sent my payment 
I just came over from the 'Investor Games' subforum (hope I got that right). A guy there said he came across a site asking to double his bitcoin, he paid in $20 and got $40 the following day or so. He then went for a higher plan of $300 hoping to cash out $600 but they asked him to pay in another $300 before cashing out. He got confused and was asking for advice.
I think I've been there before. Before I became a forum member. I once came across one of those scam sites promising to generate bitcoins. Thought it was real, but when they asked me to pay some transaction fee, I was stuck. I had no money to pay the fee. With the benefit of hindsight, I know I'd have sent them the 'transaction fee' had I had the coins to send them.
Now, what have been your experience with internet scams?
How do we help people not to get scammed?
I have been cheated so many times, and this has always happened in my life, many people are deceived even online or in life, fraudulent purpose just of stealing other people's property, There are many people who regularly inform and advocate being careful of those who are at risk of fraud, I think that is the primary wayI think I've been there before.

I think we're well to expect that money earned as easily as that would most likely be a scam. Its some kind of ponzi schemes and i myself got bitten by these scams. Btcriver took quite a big amount of btc from after making me earn a little. They're everywhere now so best that we stop first and think hard about letting our money go to these investments
Yahh. So many times. Sad .. All my earnings that i mine in mining are lost . many scammers are around in social medias or in websites. Make sure your earnings you invest is in the right site . or else your earnings will lost like a smoke .
Yes, because I did not know that I was scammed by the private key so I scammed it but when I learned that I always kept my scams, because of the many sites that you could be scammed

Too many times to keep count. The lure of easy money was my weakness. Only this year have I decided to only mine or trade cryptos.
Just once I experienced scammed in other ways,but I learned to become a wiser and stay away to the bad influences in our soroundings,rather here in Bitcoin I've been doing research and full time examine about the campaign what I going to join,but hopefully untill now it will not happened again to be the second victim of scammed ,we need to alert to those who wants to ruin our dignity or personality
I think I have been scammed in terms of a bounty campaign that i have joined in. They said that if after the campaign, the pay out will be in bitcoin and not any other altcoins already. The bounty sounds promising that is why we worked our butt off to meet their required number of posts.. Only to find out that everything is a scam. It was just disappointing that it did not turned out well despite the efforts.
Yes ofcurse. Specially in signature campaign. Since I started signature campaign, I always scam , because before I don't know how to identify legit signature campaign. I just join and join, but now I know how to identify legit signature campaign.
I have been scaled just once and it was really painful. I wanted to buy some tokens online and needed bitcoin, I saw a group for purchase of bitcoin and decided to make transactions there and that was how my money disappeared.
not at all. On the contrary, I think bitcoin is worth investing. Of course, you should be careful before investing.
At least so far has not been deceived, of course, do not want to be cheated. Because bitcoin was my life's hope for me, I was cautious when investing and I watched team projects very carefully, and not in large numbers, so there was not much to lose.
No I haven't been scammed because I'm afraid to try any investment that I didn't know. I'm afraid to loss my money. Like I'm doing in my bitcoin, I only used it in investment and trading. I don't like to used my bitcoin in Gambling, even my friend always encouraging me to try it.
For me my Bitcoin is my precious. My bitcoin is for me and for my family. I don't want to be scammed by somebody.

I have been scammed a couple of times these past months from people claiming to be cryptocurrency traders who would convince you to invest your money in trading then promise that he can give it back double. The next thing you know he already run away with it claiming to have lost all the money in trading.
Yes I have unfortunately, that has happened to me by use of the USD, virtual video game currency and Bitcoin. Even though I've been scammed it doesn't deter me from participating with the Bitcoin blockchain still.
It shouldn't, the fact that someone got scammed is not bitcoin fault, people need to learn to be more critical about what they read, I have seen people overly excited about the profits they can get with certain investments and after reading in detail the profits that are promised by some of those websites you can realize immediately that those websites are nothing but scams but people want to believe they can become rich quickly and that is why they invest in things like that.
I've learned to stay away from Revenue Sharing Websites as they are all just Ponzi schemes waiting to run away with your money once they think they will have enough to hide from the face of the earth.. People, stay away from revenue sharing websites.
Yup i’ve been scammed for 5 times and i’m still here, maybe 10 times scams i will stop doing crypto i will end my crypto life. I exert time and effort and still i got nothing. Hoping that this ICO i’ve joined is not w scam anymore.
Sorry to hear that happened to you. I both invest and do bounties. I never got scammed from the projects that I participated to their ICO but I got scammed couple of times from the projects that I participated to bounties. They got the money and run away without giving anything to bounty hunters.

There are a lot of scammers out there in the market but you will instantly determined who are the people who are just trying to scam or being a legit trader. There are also phishing sites out there so always be careful when you click the sites because you might lose some of your coins if you over look the domain carelessly.
