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've been, only once and now, having fear of doing investing in some untrusted site. And being traumatize in what already happened. But now trying to face my fear because I need to earn money for extra allowance. And being wise in here is needed now.

No, never been scammed so far. I suggest you to not invest in HYIPs and cloud mining platform because they are all scam that will end up to steal your money.

Hyips intend to scam users or investors because Ive been scam on this. Better not to suggest things like this to invest in hyips or ponzi scheme. It has proven many times by the users thay got scam also.

Hyip or cloud mining is literal scammed if you see the referral bonuses you will realize that it is lalready scammed because the promises they offer to those investors i've been scammed before in hyip 2 bitcoin if i hold it now maybe im rich which is million in my country already i realize that bitcoin is not only money but for my future i love it when im receiving bitcoin in my wallet anyway

Well, As for now. I'm not yet been scammed by the scammers. Because i'm just a newbie here. but my friend told me to be careful because there are so many scammers out there that can make me the victim of their bad things. Always be aware on everything that could happen. "Never trust anyone" they said.

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.

Is this about being scam in general? As of now, did not experience anything like that. I am playing safe. As a new in trading and in the world of cryptos, i am trying not to release a single cents in any investments. Its not that i am afraid of losing money but i am afraid that i will use it to something that not legit and benefit all the money they hot from.that scam. Thats why i want to earn my bitcoin in joining campaign. (also in bounty). I hope it will not happen to me (i think its so scary). But, if about hacked account, i am one victim of it. They stole all my token in myetherwallet. It was a terrible feeling, what more if ive been scam.

I have been trying to earn more bitcoins so I tried a lot of websites which are saying that they will generate or give bitcoins as a present but most of them requires me to pay or some did not really given me bitcoins. I also joined an ICO and it took six months (I think) to be on the exchanges and I just waited a low price coin. From my experiences, I have learned that I should be careful and wise. I should think thrice when joining an ICO and should not be fooled by those sites that will generate or give bitcoins because those are scams. Even I can't tell whether it is a scam or not, I can say that being careful and wise will not make getting scammed again.

The value of bitcoin is increasing. Cheating to steal your wallet is increasing. I was cheated. They send me a message saying that your wallet must be updated instead of you can lose wallet. And I was fooled and lost my wallet. You have to be careful with the scams

Never, a single cent , because I'm cautious while trading always use bitrated is very good way to be safe while exchange.

Me too, I have never been scammed. Even before, I have a trust issues especially when it comes to money so it took time before I join here in Bitcoin. And when I joined in signature campaign and trading as well, I always make sure that i'm being careful.

Wow, talk about scammed, I have experienced a lot of scam things, here goes the list I can remember off, including other cryptocurrencies things :
1. Scammed by some internet making money Ponzi scheme. Checked. It was at 2013.
2. Scammed at buying guitar online. The guitar never came. It was at 2013 too.
3. Scammed in an online game so many times. Last time I got scammed last month.
With all this experience, luckily i didnt got scammed on bitcoin yet, heck i dont want that to happen. I will learn from that experience and try not to got scammed at this world.
Funny thing is i wanted to try the game what you stated but i smell it kinda fishy, so i didnt play it.
The best thing to get away from scam are, dont trust online people 100%, and if it is too good to be true it has a 99,99% chance to be a scam. Thats what i suggest to myself now.

I think yes, it is a part of scam, hacked. When I import my ethereum address and private key on etherdelta, I was shock because on the following days my coins was gradually decreases. I don't know what to do because it was my first time happened in my whole life. Then I decided to create a new wallet and keep secured anytime.

Nop never, you just have to be realistic and do not fall in such offers still there are many web sites claiming to triple your bitcoins in 2 days and unfortunately still some people believe in them and put their coins in there and then lost them, this is not actually scam, this is suicide.

Yes. In bounty campaigns. Some campaigns turned out to be real and some are scams.

I scammed when someone and I had transaction using the internet but not actually cryptocurrency. It's about online transaction with my friend in social media. I advise to the people not to fool by other people is that, don't trust anyone behind you. Likely with cryptocurrency, there are glamorous words came out from the coin but in the end it will fly high. Thinking thousand times before we settle our money will help us to confirm that our coin will not be collected by others. We must be alert, attentive and wisely when it comes in putting our time and resources in an investment.

I was a victim of a scam too. The first time was when I joined captcha typing that will supposedly pay me with bitcoins but unfortunately I earned nothing. Then I joined bitcoin clicks for bitcoin advertisements but I also earned nothing. I just thank God that I tried joining signature campaigns where I got my first bitcoin.

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.

Somebody told me that when I invest something, I must use my heart rather my mind. In terms of scam? I never scammed since I was started here in bitcointalk and cryptocurrency because I am not yet earning lots of money but I think I already scammed by project ( I just don't know if it will pay my service). Someday I will try to invest and trade altcoins and bitcoin, I will conquer my fear of being scammed. You are right! We don't know the day and how we will be scammed but checking of backgrounds and personality behind altcoin helps us to keep calm that our coin is in the good hands.
