Topic: Have You Been Scammed? - page 24. (Read 3494 times)
before i started my bitcoin as a career i have been scam by many peoples already. first hyip scheme and then some gambling site that not honest. i lose a few money. but i didnt stop trying and last i end in here which in my think was a good thing. i learn a lot of new stuff and prevent me from getting scam anymore. i learn not to trust any person with me money.
I think in the past, many of us have been scammed by some programs or by someone but if we can learn from this mistake, then we can avoid to making the same mistake in the future. there are too many interesting programs and we don't know which one is true and if we cannot find a valid info then we don't have to join. be careful before we make a decision to join in one program, make sure that we know almost all about the programs.
No I have never been scammed and don't see myself falling for one
I have been scammed almost 6x when I was just starting earning online like 3 years ago in some investment networking sites they are promising huge return of investments and when you decided to reinvest again like 3x reinvestment all the way sites will be pending all payout and then turn to scam but now I learned.
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, ive been scammed last year but it's just a small money. I dont get it why some people put an effort scamming people even there's many way to earn money like this bounty campaign. I hate people who wants an easy life, they're the people who will not learn and will suffer soon.
Haven't yet experienced being scammed so far. Hopefully will not experience it ever most especially in this cryptocurrency world. Let us all be mindful and watchful in every step we take. Thank you.
Bitcoin ponzi. I was pained because it was going well till I joined.
For me no....
Haha because I just started joining andearning more about bitcoins...
But I gat a lot of advice from this page......
So stay tune also my friend...
Yes, i am and it is equivalent to my two months salary. When that was happened to me i thought i never invest in any kind of networking company but, when i heard about bitcoin and just joining signature campaign nothing to lose money i decided to learn about it and then here i am. I fully trust bitcoin.
I am sure everyone who started out in bitcoin had these sort of bad experience when you wanted to test out new tokens and investments and like everybody i got scammed a few times with new investment opportunities and other schemes during 2014 to 2015 because the price was going down and i did not expect the price to shoot like this,so i used to invest my coins in some of the weirdest investment opportunities to check whether it was genuine. 
I have been scammed once when I was new to Cryptocurrency. The bottom line is scammers also want to profit somehow from Bitcoin, but through nefarious means. This typically involves targeting unprepared victims, who end up losing their Bitcoin as a result.
Don’t trust anyone claiming they will give you or help you mine bitcoin. Again, cryptocurrency is valued by cybercriminals for a reason, and nefarious behavior related to bitcoin runs rampant on social media and digital channels.
That's why don't trust doublers, they are attracting people to invest first to try it out with small amount and after getting the sentiments from paying that tiny amount. The person that received the payout will be encouraged to invest some more since he's confident that it will pay again. I got scammed before but not only with crypto related investment. I was a victim of those HYIP's before when I was really new to bitcoin. And to help people from these scams, we just need to warn them about those scams and share our experiences.

Yeah, sadly and it's not easy to admit I have been scammed. It was at a time where I basically knew nothing about crypto/bitcoin and I received this great deal to trade virtual game items for real money, like 10% more than the amount I was expecting to get. I got greedy and made an agreement with the potential buyer to send me the Bitcoins first and then I was supposed to send over the virtual goods over to him. I created a new wallet and from everything I searched on the internet as fast as I could, I was ready to receive Bitcoin in my wallet. I shared my address with him and he confirmed that he sent the amount and I should check it. I opened my wallet and saw that I had the amount that we agreed upon in my wallet. I also opened the transaction and everything, but I never knew that you should at least wait for 3 confirmations until the money is safe in your wallet. I transferred the items to him and we said goodbye to each other and I tried to use the coins in my wallet to buy something else online. This is where things got strange to me. Then I did my research calmly and found out that the guy double spent his coins and I got left with 0 in my wallet. It was a lesson I learned the hard way lol. I suggest whatever you do online you should first educate yourself and not act like you know it all because you can easily get burned by people who do not care about anything besides scamming you. Good luck guys!
Yes i have been scammed when the first time i know bitcoin someone offer me to joined to his investment using bitcoin. I thought its legit but in 3 days i'm waiting to my pay out then that guy blocked me on facebook until now i never saw him again.
Good talk. One needs to be sensitive , scammers are every where like "Mtn". Guys welcome me, I'm a new bee !🙄🤗
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, i was scammed by one of the pyramid platform and i lost about $5000 last year.If I have invested that money on cryptocurrency and bitcoin in particular it would have been a great investment for me today.
Some time ago I participated in DAO ICO. Then I have got a tokens on the sum about 300 dollars. After the platform was attacked by hackers all my tokens were stolen. Thanks to providers. All my money were returned.
