yes I been scam in bountie campaign because they didn't give my reward for my work I think some other  bounties are not good or scam and I scam in airdrop too.
I have been scammed too in bounty campaign specifically in signature campaign. I thought it was a good campaign but at the end of the campaign, it was announced that it was scammed. After that, I've been careful in choosing campaign.

If You’ve Been Scammed Out of Cryptocurrency It’s Probably Your Fault
Scammers are a dastardly, low down bunch. Preying on the gullible, extorting the vulnerable, and hoodwinking the hoodwinkable with their promise of free bitcoin if you send a little first and daily interest on your Bitconnect loan. It’s an indisputable fact that if the cryptocurrency space were cleansed of scammers, the web would be a better place. It’s also a fact that if you’ve been scammed of cryptocurrency, it’s probably your fault.

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?


I've been scammed through the first campaign that i got in here in bitcoin so really invest all the trust and my time during that campaign but I got nothing in return for all of that and of course i feel so bad because i couldn't think that i will be actually get to be scammed.  And now to  avoid getting scammed again I choose to be wiser in selecting my campaigns now

I am very lucky to date because stuck on a scam site never happened.So if I am going to go into it should be more detail again how the site offers services later.Sometimes there is a big and small value from there we should be able to think carefully if really want to make an investment.

Yes i have experienced scammed many times and most of it are in bounty campaigns. To be honest i really feel so down when i just scammed because i gave a lot of time and effort just to post and give a lot of opinions then i will not get any reward. I hope that those people who scams will be removed in the world of crypto because they ruined everything, even the name of bitcoin that is why people are thinking bitcoin is just a scam, but its not.

yes, when ICO investment was getting popular, I got an email with link to send investment which looks very legit. but It turned out it was scam. Thankfully, ICO company gave me the coin worth to the ether that I sent to scammer. Now, I am very careful Smiley

As of this writing I never get scammed or participate on it because before I do a thing I always review and research it so that it would never happen to me. And here in crypto world I double that because I know there's a lot of scam and greedy here waiting for a knowledge less people who will fall from their words. So I suggest before you do a task and you have a doubt then know first the history of that particular thing whether it is bitcoin related or not because you can never avoid those greedy people here and the only thing you can do is to deal with it with proper knowledge.

Fortunately, i've never got scammed in bitcoin but i've ever got some scam attempts. I remember when i got messages from fake ICO team that offered me big bonus if i sent him certain amount of eth but i doubt he's real as he didn't have admin tag in his chat.

Same here,I was scammed  by heartless people.I invest my little cash for a small chance of profit,at that time I was mesmerized  by there project and offers but sadly  It was a scam,too late to know that I am fooled  already  by someone.
