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?

Ive been scammed already in pyramiding company. I tried to invest in other company because the first company I joined is good. I mean i got my income they promise to pay for me if I join and recruit. But in the second company I got scammed and the money I invested was gone.

The first time i got scammed is 2 year ago by hash ocean, a famous cloud mining site at that time.
Then is by PTC sites.

In crypto not yet but in pyramid scheme yes, they conduct trainings on how to handle customers, invite new members, making them join and submit their money for product but when they reach their targets, they don't bother at all. Keep reporting some issues but only replies is, "let me forward it to the main office".

So little carefully also in crypto, careful what group to join!

So far No

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.

Agree to you. You should be able to know the basic first, you need to read first. But we cannot blame anyone, it is normal in the beginning, like me, I've already been scammed so many times since I started in cryptocurrency, but now. I already know what are the good or bad in crypto. That is really okay.

I feel for you mate. It's hard to get scammed in any market, more so, in this market because everything we earn entails a lot of preparation work and risks. So, having your money or asset just be taken away in that manner is not a good pill to swallow. I would not wish for that to happen to anyone else. But, since it's done, then the next best thing to do is to study what happened, step back and see what went wrong or what baited you to be a victim in that scam, if it really is a scam, so that next time once you see some warning signs, you surely can keep away from it.

I have never been scammed. I am too paranoid, thats one lesson bitcoin has taught me. I was lucky when i was introduced into bitcoin i was broke. So i didn't fall into the traps many fall into.

My friend was cheated by 3M! 3M is a ponzi scheme from Russia!

The publicity of 3M is the pyramid of the people, and the people below pay the high profits of the people above, but the problem is that people don't know whether they are the last!

I don't know if it was because of greed. Or about the project mainly. It's roadmap is a bit shady, also the profits.

During my early days into bitcoin I got under the trap of a scammer. I placed an ad to sell bitcoin in a trading website, by that time a scammer took control of my account using some hacks and I lost around 0.5btc. Later on understood the risk and enhanced with 2FA and other security features.

The truth is that the sites aiming to scam the majority will promise to those who take a huge profit easily. Almost nothing to do just wait to earn a profit or do something as simple as betting ... Many people are victims of scams that have been shared to give us experience. . .
I think that without the knowledge, experience and uncertainty about the issue we are planning to invest should not invest all its capital in it. If just curious as new feeling, just a little to follow and experiment to study carefully about that website.

Yes ive been scammed by those ICOs project that come out last year. The reviews of experts are great but in the end they are all scam. No one really knows who are will be the scammers and when will they scam. Some projects have alibis like they have been hacked and others are said they are on maintenenance but the real is they are
starting to scam all the people invested in their project. I learned a lot in cryptocurrency world.

It is a simple investment option and this is the form banned by this forum because it is a fraudulent form to make a profit. Hyip is widely known as a way to make significant gains in a short period of time and I think this is a form of over-risking investment and it sure will stop and hug the money of all investors and Disappeared soon after.

Not yet because I am aware that networking is prone to scammers and criminals that only wants your money. I am searching about the techniques of scammers so that I will not be scammed by them.

Yes, I was noob and didn't be intelligent to study first the project with detail. I learned a lot about scams in ICOs but in other kind of services payed by cryptocoins too.
