Topic: Have You Been Scammed? - page 35. (Read 3494 times)
I have been scammed too.but not here in bitcoin.but in a home-based job that i used to work with. I didn't invest money but I worked for them for three without getting paid. At first they promised a good salary for a campaign.but after a week they changed the campaign and said we don't a basic salary.only a commission bassd salary. And the Manager that we're working with at that time was using a different profile picture on his skype account.to make the long story short, it's too hard to trust someone from the internet. It takes a lot of risk to invest into something especially in online businesses.because they can use a fake information about them and they will convince or promise you something which is too googd to be true.so be careful in investing into some online business,especially in bitcoin. I have heard that there's so many scammers in btcoin.but, of course there are a lot more legit and trustworthy people here too
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?
In the bitcoin world theres no doubt that it attack it by the many scammer because we know that the bitcoin is a digital currency and have a similar used to the money. It is uaed to buy everything but in online only but if yoy change it in to the fiat money rhe value of the bitcoin is still impressive and expensive, anf i am happy that i dont have any experience about scamming because ill be careful and think about what might come happen if the scammer is targeted me.

these are called HYIP if i am not mistaken. they are more like a gamble with a high risk of losing and a terrible odd. imagine a dice game when you are only allowed to roll on 2x multiplier but you have 1% chance of winning and 99% chance of losing! that is how these are.
they ask for a deposit and say some funny stuff about how they are doubling your coin in 2 days, 1 week, 2 weeks,... amount of time and when they get some money from newbies they run away.

I will say that almost all the members here have been scam one time or another, specially at the beginning of their journey. I was also a victim of HYIP, I invested few satoshi's before and it was paying at the start and I was so happy with the result. Was even looking at the calendar to see how much bitcoin I will get. Then I re-invested, but unfortunately one day the site went offline and I was late, I have been scammed. Just a simple research of the website will help you identify a scam and of course this forum is the biggest help. Just ask around for opinions before investing.
Good thing I have not experienced being scammed and thanks to this forum necause it is here I was able to learn more about about bitcoin. It is important thay you know very well the other party you are transacting with to avoid losses of money or coins. Always search websites that accepts investments.
The scam I have experienced is from Sebeum signature campaign. 3 weeks no pay for us. And I thought it was a good campaign and team updating every week. He even notifies us about what we are missing.
Then suddenly he's gone.
I don't know if it was because of greed. Or about the project mainly. It's roadmap is a bit shady, also the profits. More or less I think if it's not the campaign manager, it was the fault of the project team.

Yeap here in bitcointalk when I came here on 2016, had a transaction on pokerstars and they freezed my account and return the money to the account owner, down 200$
I did but when I was younger, playing a video game called MU, nowdays I exchange using trustwhorty websites or individuals.
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.
