Topic: Have You Been Scammed? - page 20. (Read 3494 times)
In a way or in another everybody gets scammed sooner or later. As for my case, I have been scammed by a very reputable German bank, so from that day onward I have reconsidered all what I believe and now I make money with cryptos, taking care to avoid scammers which are everywhere also here.
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 didnt fall into the traps many fall into.
Doesn't got scammed through an investment or some other pyramid schemes that has been promoted through the name of bitcoin. I got hacked and lost around 0.5btc, later tried the maximum possible to get it back. Finally all my efforts went out of usage. 
i was scammed several times, that was when i newly join crypto currency, i gat scammed through some investment websites that promise you some daily return of your investment, which turn out to be a scam projects at the long run. that was back in 2014 i lost over 2BTC.
just like the saying goes, once beaten twice shy.
i have learn my lesson 4yrs ago

At present there a lot of "investment sites" where you "can earn more bitcoins". 90% of them do not use trading at all - just a scam
Never been scammed.i say if you are careful enough. You cannot be a victim of scamming. We all know scammers are everywhere. Some people as well think bitcoin is a scam. I am one living witness bitcoin is never a scam where in fact it is the number one crypto currency in the present market. This is also a best blessing to everyone who has been using it for years.

I have an experience of being scammed. It was a woman who made up an event and scammed me 100 dollars. She deleted her facebook after that and I tried to contact her but I cannot reach her. From my experience I learned that I should know how to research, and also ask from people who have experiences particularly in this case which is bitcoin.
I just came over from the 'Investor Games' subforum (hope I got that right). A guy t ishere 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?
For me,I don't experience yet to scammed.Base for what I am doing now through Bitcoin it is a great kind of online jobs for me.maybe in the other kind of online but the Bitcoin doesn't I think.there are lots of internet scammed but I promise you,bitcoin is not.this is based on my experience I don't know to others I think I've been there before.

Luckily, I haven't experienced any kind of scam yet and I hope not to experience either. To avoid scams, what I always do is I activate my attitude of being a "double checker" to every move I made here in the crypto world — I am a kind of person who analyze first the investment platform before joining in. I do not easily believe on the rumors spreading around me, I check it for myself meticulously.
Through this plus the common sense and good intuition I have, I am able to determine whether it is a scam or not. I think everyone should do these also.

no i never get scammed, the only thing that you have to care about if you won't get scammed is don't "walk" alone. "walk" with the seniors of crypto, so you might be not getting scammed
I did but when I was younger, playing a video game called MU, nowdays I exchange using trustwhorty websites or individuals.
We have same issue brother. I was also scammed by an MU player in the past. At first the person was being so nice but it was part of his plan to scam me. He succeded in the end and left me broke
No...checking and reading the profile before anything else...better careful ...

There is no way to actually distinguished between a scam site and one that is real because they all look real.
I have once been scammed of my $20 due to my naivity. I was told to pay it in order for it to be doubled. I did and could not find any of the two.
The only way to avoid being scammed is by making research about such sites before investing in them.
Real money not yet but in some ICO when I participated on their bounty program I experienced being scammed all my time and effort are wasted. A lot of scams around the world so people should be more careful this time to prevent loosing your hard earned money.

I have been scammed for many times because I joined many high yield investment program which are mostly scammed when reach for how many days since the day started. 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 a reputable businesses. I have learned from my mistakes. 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.

Not yet, but i think I might have. With a cloudmining site that offered a lifetime contract but suddenly went to a 1 year limited contract. And today their minimum withdrawal is too high that i think my contract will expire before i get that threshold. And it came to me that if I had bought and held bitcoin instead of buying a contract, i would make much more profit. So lesson learned, better hold it.
more and more scam, we must be more careful for all the ICOs
I have been scammed, what hurts most is the person who did that to me is one of my best friend and the money he stole is not really mine but from a group of person. we cannot tell anything at first it all happened at the end, a scam is a word for us who trust someone and pull the worst for us!

Not all promising in the internet are true.
It is a scam if it is already asking money.
If they think they are protected by being dishonest with using a computer screen as a shield.
So what do you think?
