Topic: Have You Been Scammed? - page 25. (Read 3494 times)

That is very incisive information from you. This kind of information is one of the major benefit of being a forum member. For me I am yet to be scammed and I will not be scammed because of the i have the experience.

God bless  i was scammed only as a bounty participation. surely it was unpleasent and was wasted time. but it is not  so big problem if you invest money  in the scummed projects

No I have not gone through that

Not really, but as an online businessman and trader you need to always prepare for scam, so that it won't brake you down when it happen,

Haven't got scammed, but once got into the traps of hackers and lost some amount in bitcoin from the wallet. Later understood the risks associated with bitcoin as well other digital currencies. Everyone won't get scammed easily, people who were with greed as well won't analyze the legitimacy gets scammed.

Yes, but anyway, any scam project is an experience that you get and use in the future. Experience that is difficult to get from another, but you become more attentive to details.

Since i am a new one here in bitcoin i'd never been scammed yet. I hope i'll never experience it in the entire time that i'm here.

yes I used to have experienced scammed I never followed a hyip program before I did not know that it is a hyip, with the lure of 150% profit and a few days later I did not get paid.

i faced scam few days ago.it is very dangerous to fall in trap and it results in a great loss.to avoid this kind of scam,always skip this kind of offer and also don't be greedy if you get any offer.Before using  any website,do a discussion with experts.

I got scammed in Zeekrewards 

This is very common and it happened to me once as well the only good thing of it is that I only lost a few dollars because of it but since then I have learned to be a lot more careful and since then I have not being scammed once.

I thought that i will never be scammed, But once I installed one very old game on my PC and i had a virus grom it that made someone possible to get passwords that was stored in my Chrome.
Since that time I never store passwords in browser

I did the same mistake, i was new to this whole thing and i really thought bitcoins can be multiplied many times just with investing in random sites. So I invested money in bitcoin and bitcoin in fake cloud mining sites and I lost it. It wasn't big amount of money but still.. Mistake I will never do again.

Thankfully I haven't been scammed nor exposed to phishing sites and viruses since my friend who taught me about bitcoin has experienced several attacks from hackers in which some of his btc where stolen which was a painful way to learn on how to be vigilant in terms of online security.

I was scammed before but not in bitcoins or altocoins. Some group of MMM networking whom were paying my friends enticed me to join. When it was my time to get my money invested plus interest, the company gone out of existence. I later realise it was a ponzi scheme that pays the early bird but din't honor their promise to the late entrance.

Yes by HYIP sites. What they offer is really very tempting but they never last. Getting involve in these schemes is very risky since you can either earn big or lose all your money.

Scammed, yes, by one fake profit website once, that closed its doors a few time after I gave them money. Scammed also by clients who don't pay or sellers that don't deliver (there are a lot of these scumbags in goods section of this forum).
Each scam is a lesson to be careful next time.

I haven't got trapped into any of the scams. All that I've experienced with bitcoin these days as an issue is that my entire wallet fund got stolen. Here one thing that I found to be lucky is the wallet balance which is very low balance in the wallet. Later tried as much possible, but unable to get it back.

Many times

But sadly I'm still keep making the same mistake, most recent one like 2 weeks ago, a site called "Future - bank ".

First time was a PTC site. "Probux" , it was one of the best paying sites at the time, but as soon as I invested the site shuts down.

Then from  Revenue share sites - shutting down My Paying ads and My paying crypto ads hit me really hard. and another rev share calle TT3, I was just starting to withdraw and it shuts down too.

and few HYIP sites too.

overall I've lost about 2000$ online. It was like as soon as I join the site get scammed. felt that many times.

I promised my self never to invest online again.but did that again.... but this time was a little smart too, brought some BTC while it was 8,000$, Held until it goes to 18,000$ and cashed out the original investment and the rest is on a wallet. and "again" promised myself not to invest. now trying to join as much as Airdrops I can, and do as many as bounties I can and cover the loss I had...and it's kind of working so far.


An advice not to get scammed, is I'm still looking for too. as far as I've felt it, you must be extremely LUCKY not to get scammed, it doesn't matte how smart you are, how much research you did, how good that site is, how many good reviews it has, if you are not lucky you'll get scammed in most unexpected ways.

There was a site very good one, many people invested, it was going great, the owner DIED!!!and bam, it was over too. I think one of the main things you want it LUCK!!!

Now I'm trying to find a way to be lucky, one of the ways is not investing your own money and trying to get use of every FREE earning opportunity you get. people always say about high risk - high reward. to get that you MUST be lucky person, if not High risk is just a high risk and you loose everything.

So in my personal conclusion , the best way not to get scammed online is being LUCKY!!

I have been scammed so many times in the past. Once I invested around $600 in Bux.to, and lost all of that money. At that time, my monthly salary was lower than that amount and it was a big blow for me. Later, in 2013 when Litecoinglobal closed down, I lost around BTC30. At the current exchange rate, it will be equivalent to around $450,000.
