Topic: Have You Been Scammed? - page 22. (Read 3494 times)
Not yet scammed ever. I will surely be conscious and vigilant and be more careful so that everything about bitcoin is secured. Scammers are everywhere that is why we should not trust easily. Bitcoin is such a blessing that we cannot afford to be scammed. We should take care the benefits we get from bitcoin so that we will be able to be more progressive sooner.
No.I've never been scammed because i never entertain them.For example they are asking you to send money,that is the time i don't entertain it sound like a scammed for me.JUST DON'T BE SCAMMED.
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 do. I had an experienced being scammed by networking. It was like you will deposit money and bring two friends to join .. and if your two friends recruited 2 other friends, you will be paid like 70 percent of the money you have deposited but at the end only two of us in 15 people that in the pyramid had been paid. And the scammer who is the founder of that internet scam had been jailed. So my advise for is to be observant and make sure to do your research before joining anything online. At first I thought bitcoin is alwo a scam but I found out from my cousin that it is legit.I think I've been there before. Before I became a forum member.

Always ask from those who have experienced in such things. Use those site which is popular more people who use the site. This is the easiest way in order to being scammed in bitcoin.
Yes have been scammed before. Victims of scams don't always report when they've been conned because they feel embarrassed for having fallen for a scam.
If you have just fallen for a scam, you shouldn't feel embarrassed. It can happen to anyone. Scammers are constantly refining their scams to make them as effective as possible. They know what works and what doesn't.

I have been scammed when i was 16 years old, they said when I invest some money, they will give it to me times two of the money that I invested to them. I didn't check the background of that person and I didn't ask opinions to other people. Then I invest some of my money because I'm expecting the times two of my income but when I give it to them, they just blocked me in all communication. Even though I was scammed, I learned a lot of things like always check the background and don't forget to ask opinions to other people to avoid being scammed.
Yes it happen with me when there was no bitcoin in market so I try a lot of crypto in market and they all cheat me some of them waste my money and some of them waste my time which was a very bad experience in my life because I lose a lot of money since bitcoin arrived to market it return me back all my money and make me rich also I’m very great full to bitcoin for its support and right direction because it was not possible for me to come back. 
There will alway be people who would like to get money easy way, and some "smart" people will always use other peoples greed for their own gain. Personally I have never been scamed for money, but once i got scamed in online game for items, therefor i know the feeling... partially at least. Only advice for other people that i can give is, if its too easy its probably a scam. Also do not share important info to anyone in whom you do not have absolute trust.
I have been scammed from a very long time because when there was no bitcoin in market so I was using other crypto for my earning but they all were useless for me because it just waste my time and money nothing more since bitcoin arrived to market so it change my life and also it return me my lose so I will request to every one join bitcoin because it’s good and you can invest here as much as you can and it can make you rich.

Opening the page, where the first thing that catches the eye is a big picture of the dollar, a bag of money, gold, etc. - know that the hypnosis process is just beginning. (Why are pictures?) Because instead of the big picture they can be smaller, blinking, colorful - the most important to make them look normal, but subconsciously eye-catching. This is the easiest way to gain attention, i.e. the manipulator in this way increases the chance that you will stay on the page longer and you will be more interesting.
The second issue to be considered is the content, sophisticated way of creating sentences, appropriate word formulation. One of the tricks is to create questioning sentences, examples:
"Have you missed the success of Bitcoin?"
"Would you like to earn more?"
"Invest only 50 cents a day and become a financially independent person"
"A new cryptocurrency better than Bitcoin, you want to make money on it?"
Query sentences are very tricky even though they seem normal, so at the moment of reading the question, answers appear automatically in our head - we often do not realize this process, but manipulators are aware of it. In our brain, a delicate impression of conversation with someone is created, which in turn makes the manipulator approach us. All the more so if the answer is written right after the question, the aim of which is to reach the maximum number of people.
"Would you like to earn more? Surely yes, you are worth it! "
An interesting thing to pay attention to in the case of such texts is the use of wordings meaning "us". So the author writes in such a way as if he expressed your thoughts for you - describing "your" shared thoughts.
"Would you like to earn more? Definitely yes, we will do it together "
It is an illusion of a conversation with someone closer than an unknown person with no face, only words we read.
We also consider:
"I will help you earn", "With me you will learn to earn", "I know / I have a program that you can earn" etc.
The above-mentioned examples are so-called text manipulation, works, but there are even better ways.

I have frozen tokens in the Tezos project. I don’t even watch happen on the trial in USA about it. Telling the truth I have no much faith that I will get my money back. I suppose we’ll see it in a near future.
So far I've never been experienced to be scammed since I was joined here in forum. On my own opinion, I would say much better to be observant all the time as much as possible. Though, we can't control all the possible situation but as long as we must be aware that there are a lots of scammers here in social media.
