Topic: Have You Been Scammed? - page 9. (Read 3480 times)
Yes i have experienced scam, mostly here in bitcoin forum in some bounty campaigns. I was frustrated that time because i waste a lot of energy, so i could earn profit. I also got scammed in some Twitter campaigns good thing that there are some other users who warned us that campaign is a scam. Hoping that scamners must remove here in the world of bitcoin because it can also ruin bitcoin in the eyes of other people.
yes, that's why I need to check double double check when invest in ICO, but there's so many potencial ICO program out there
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?

Honestly yes , and not only me but my whole family and it really affected my whole family , we lost a big amount of money but with the help of God we successfully overcame it.
No, and I don't want to get scammed. I do safe payment and only look for trusted peoples. Look for reputable and safe website, do not open any random links that given in email or web.

For me faced a fraud a few days ago. It's very dangerous to get caught in a trap and make big losses. To avoid this kind of fraud, always skip this kind of offer and do not be greedy if you get any offers. Before you use any website you can discuss with experts. 
Actually it can easy avoid those scammer by avoiding them in whatever offer they showed to you, most of the time scammer send a private message saying, they have a good opportunity that they want to show you together with a links, I suggest don't ever click that kind of links cause it will go all the way to gather all of your information. Always think before you click.
Yes, I've been scammed and I won't deny this fact as it is normally happened when you're a risk taker. Nevertheless, all those funds that was taken from me is just from my commissions in other programs. But now I'm not into that HYIP schemes and any Ponzi related program since it never last long, so I'm tired playing with it. I'd rather pursue my bounty hunting, no investment needed and I enjoyed it.
Yeah I have been scammed for a few times when I was gambling with my small btc ammounts from faucets in stuff like double your btc in one day etc. For sure I did know about the risks and so I never gambled more than I could afford to loose. But nowadays I would not recommend doing such things, even though you know the first few guys in a ponzie get paid, it is a betrail!

Nope. Never experienced them all my life and I'm planning too, either. I always get a gut feeling before I get scammed or something that's why I've never been scammed so far. My tip is always follow your gut. When you feel that it's not what your intended outcome is, most likely, it's a scam.
TBH I've been scammed quite a few times. I had my fair share of naivety back in the days when there were legit looking sites promising quick ROI. We'll I've learned my lesson and, slow and steady is my new game play.

I had not been scammed by any person or website. This is because I use only reputed website after reading its reviews online.
Nope. I am very careful and always trying to check everything before click on link or just download something sucpicious. Nowadays using different passwords is enough.
I was very careful. But still scammed for ICO projects. This is bad . And when I invested in a fraudulent ICO project, in my eyes I now think 80% of the ICO projects are fraudulent.

I never tried to be scammed but I know what is the feeling to be scammed. I think the best thing to do for those people in order to avoid scam is to be carefull at all times, if there are unanimous person talk to her/him they must think wisely in order for them to avoid scam. Having rules and regulation can decrease the possibilty of scam. I think I've been there before. Before I became a forum member.

Yes , i used to get scammed one , that's about 450$ and that was a biggest lesson of my life , i never go first with anyone unless we're using escrow or nothing will be traded at all.
I have been scam severally but I have learned lesson from all this. Someone need to be careful don't be anxious about anything that much. Take your time to analyse what you are going into or investing into. What kill us the most sometime is... The greed to get your bitcoin being double or free Bitcoin but they will ask you to pay before giving someone script... If you are not careful with those guys after sending you bitcoin to them... They block you immediately.
I think i am lucky that i am still safe and not scam, i think it is too much important to be very careful while doing trade in cryupto currency because you do not have any direct access to the person with whom you are going to trade, therefore you need to be careful too much about trading and investing your money in trading altcoin. 
Pretty much all posts there are scams and mostly are those kind of posts like doubling Bitcoins and similar. Those people double your Bitcoins if you try with a small amount, and then they gain your trust and when you send a big amount, they dont pay back. I never try those sites and I always send negative trust.
I have scammed a lit of times in my life. One of it is internet scam. Im selling my phone online and suddenly came a guy from africa who wants to buy my phone and he is going to pay me thu paypal. Ofcourse i have paypal so i gave hime my paypal account. The. Somebody from paypal(fake paypal) send me an email that someone put some money in my account.

Well almost all people here were already scammed, it is alright, for as long as we will not quit here, and that scammed that happened to us will make us more curious and vigilant with what we are entering at.
