I have not been scam. I still not investing any money on any trade or transaction. I just joining bounty campaigns and still learning how to trade. But to think that there are many scams, I just double my caution when making a transaction.

Nah I always knew about the safety by using an escrow so I always did my transactions pretty safely with the help of a legit escrow at all times .

yes I never, when I just found out bitcoin, I joined cloud mining, and then I was cheated, I'm pretty often fooled by cloud mining or similar sites, but that's okay, it can be an experience for me, we better trade ourselves or mining itself, the risk is smaller.

Yes, I have been scammed for more than two times because I joined many high yield fake promising investment program which are scammed. They claimed to real but when due to pay they started behaving funny. I got scammed for many times but I did not stop looking for businesses for real and then after this had happened I came to realize on how to invest in works.

scamming are everywhere, in vast majority of sites, somehow it is the risk we all have to take, we just have to have a good leap of faith when venturing on a certain investment sites, we cannot control or know if a site is legit or not, maybe what we should do is be more on guard, and come well prepared before jumping to an investments, there are some precautioinary measures to be done first, good thing about this forum, we can have a hint on where to invest based on the threads. good luck though!

Yes, I wasn’t being careful enough and didn’t know about escrow existing and lost about $100 with a dude, was a good eye opener though, so who cares

Im not scammed since i was engaged in bitcoin. For me, you have to secure wallet and faucets or campaign. You to think twice or trice before you take risk.

So far, I haven't been deceit.
But what you say is a warning to me.
I suggest that you know some information before you buy it.
If you need a transaction, please choose a large exchange platform.

In my case scammed by cloud mining sites two years back . so then onwards i do not trust any cloud mining sites even someone says legit . cloud mining sites will turn scam easily after collecting money and also same way goes for hyip sites , hyip sites are very risky and full of scam . do not invest on any hyip and cloud mining sites . instead best is to hold bitcoin for longer period in the safe wallet and sell it when bitcoin price rises.

in my opinion if I think right now, this is part of a scam that can be viewed because it involves a personal seemingly hack. When I imported my ethereum address and private key in etherdelta, I was surprised that in the following days my coins gradually diminished. I do not know what to do because this is the first time I was surprised and got confused. Then I decided to create a new wallet and stay safe for any time.

Yes, so many sites. specially in investment sites or hyip with high return of interest. After I put my money to their company after 2-4 weeks they gone like a bubble. I didn't forget that, because I am now smart than before.

I met a scammer, I met him on facebook. I bought him 1 btc. At btc prices are $ 2324. I transferred the cash to him, but I waited for a week and he did not send the bitcoin to me. And then I checked that it was a facebook clone

It is really sad but even if people already knew there are scams,  still they got victimized.  Its because scams are also evolving,  even with basic baits,  but the approach is different.  What you have here is a simple ponzi,  but there are still  Lot more we dont know until somebody becomes a victim.  Just  a double your carefullness, anything sounds too good to. be true must be treated extreme care.

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?


Yes I'd been scammed on internet, and it was one of my worst cyber experienced ever. I think the main reason why we people got scammed on the internet is that we always think of what we need and how to get that easily by putting our money on any kind of investment with good to be true promised income or earnings without thinking of its legitimacy, pros and cons,  management, and how it really works. The main problem is lack of information, research and facts about any investment that your about to get in.  We can help other by spreading what we knew about the said investment, if it is legit or not, we need to spread/share information/fact based data for them not to be scammed.

Right now I have not happened like that and hope not and do not happen.
I try to be careful, and try to follow the rules, although sometimes missed, I usually fix it.
I dont yet experienced to be scammed and i am confident that i will not be scammed by the scammers because i am always thinking wise so i can prevent to be scammed by the scammers and i dont want to be scammed because the money for me is very important and i dont wanna waste it.

Luckily, I've never been a victim of fraud, but in spite of that, I always try to be alert about it, because in truth, as in any area of any type of business/market, you have to be vigilant about things like that.

there are many type of scams . me personally car taxi ICO scam us and I didn't receive the right amount of token which is promised .
and also my friend scammed me . I have trust in him because he is the one who teach me about crypto currency . I gave him my private keys in order for me to teach exchange and also convert it to fiat for less fees. but ending in not making that and get 10% of my ETHEREUM . I am mad but I treat it as a payment for his teaching and introducing me the bitcoin. another is one of my friend also who I trusted with. I thought he was trustworthy but ending again in not. I store my bitcoin in his wallet because my wallet is not verified. and when my wallet coinsph get verified I asked him to send the bitcoin to me .
he send it but with missing .012 bitcoin  Embarrassed .

So far No Smiley because im not investing money in a lot of investing company, and im carefully joining in other links or site. Im afraid that all of my money for my hardworkings will gone.
I think I'm also agree with you I do not invest a lot of money in any company and I usually choose carefully in joining any links and sites that they gave to me to visit and I also don't want to lose all my money.
