Topic: Have You Been Scammed? - page 15. (Read 3494 times)
I never experienced being scammed, I am careful in everything which involve money. I don't easily believe nor to trust especially online transaction. Before engaging research and study it first, being careful is good and won't make you any harm.
As a practically driven individual, no I haven't been scammed. If I am to invest in to something big or small, it takes time for me to research informations about it's system, may it good or bad.
yes I experienced to be scam, and that is last month there are hyip investing site who offer high profit everyday day and I invest on that and after how many days of investing the site gone and redirected to a porn site,
that is the first time I invest and first time for me to get scammed, but in this experienced i learned a lot of things in the way of investing. It is OK to be scam once but not twice.

I don’t really trade so it doesn’t really matter in my case I suppose, I use only reputed exchanges and don’t keep my money lying on them so it’s pretty chill from my side
yes I've been scammed a couple of years ago that was pyramiding networking company and 3 years after it was suddenly gone all members shouting and cried and I was one of them. but I join here in cryptocurrency because this is legit and not a scam.
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 was fooled into making a venture and investing, but that time it was not related to the realm of virtual currency, for me that was just a risk I had in doing business and since then I'm more careful I think I've been there before.

During Bitcoin is well-known, there are a lot of invest site and all turn to scam.
Yes, I have been scammed several times, but never in cryptos, only by very legit institutions, big banks and including my own country which forced to pay me a fine which was not due.
I scam once when i join to the mining because im invest there but not big money because im scared mining it is many are them is scam thats why i stop to mining.im focused to the trading and signature campaign because i earn a lot of money because of this and continueng my rank up here in bitcointalk
One of my colleagues got scammed by this "double your bitcoins' thing back in 2013
When i was new here in crypto world i was scam in a double your money scheme. I just try to invest on that platform because they will give you good amount of profit but it turn out that it will only cause me a headache. Because of that i'm just focus now on trading and don't believe in that crap again.
I've experienced a scam twice but i hope try to make the best decision for continuing to progress with no doubt.

no one knows exactly where the scam and what is not, except maybe he has the 6th sense may be hehe, the point back to dirikita each, we do something we really understand and we know. my advice is more careful, because it all depends what we do as well. yes so lah I never experienced it because I myself was not careful.
Yes you are right, you can easily determine if the people you are talking to is intending to scam you or not just by looking at the gestures so its easy to avoid those people who are really insisting to sell to you some coins or asking you to invest on their ico. The only unavoidable thing is being hacked from phishing sites or to reveal your self recklessly and that will be a big problem for you.
Yes, of course, i have been scammed a lot of times in here, in fact, i have been scammed in this forum too a few years ago when i wanted to buy some minining rigs (it was before 2014) and i suffered that a lot, they were more than 30 bitcoins ($1800 by that time)
Based from my experience for 3 years in Bitcoin, I have never been scammed and is doing fine on the trading. Although, there are circumstances that I make mistakes in decisions.
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.
Of course I have, It was some HYIP website or Ponzi. At first I invested some Bitcoins and a few days later I doubled that amount. Me being greedy, I take my capital back and invest the rest on the same website and poof! It's gone.
I've been scammed - had money taken out of an online wallet - and it's horrible. You get that sinking feeling in your stomach as you realise what's happening.
I've been scammed for many times, but I never quit to invest because if I stopped how do I know if it is scam or not. Also for now it easy to define if it is scam or not, if the sites offer high amount of returns it is scam. Because most of the scammer taking the weakness of the people and that weaknesses are high amount of returns of money.
