Have you ever been scammed? And what will you do if your bitcoin get scammed?

Few years ago, it seemed to be the beginning of 2013, I did not remember clearly, I've ever been scammed for nearly 20 BTC, I funded a gambling site, my account got frozen without any reason few hours after I funded.

I could do nothing except crying.

That's the worst thing you've done crying without doing anything, you should have gone to the authorities so they can trace who are the owners of this gambling site, you did not even mention the name of the gambling site if it is still online or ceases operation, but 20 Bitcoin is such a huge amount if this happens to me I don't think I would get over it.

I was cheated once at the beginning of my work at bitcoin I was working on a site and asked me to deposit an amount I could not withdraw and when I made a deposit I could not withdraw my deposit

That is a classic scam. Then they keep the new deposit as well. Or they ask for your ID lol Such serious authority for a few $ xP

I was scammed when eth first started I opened a wallet on a site I didn't know I should have used mew and didn't even know what it was. Eth just came out and I opened one wallet on a website and you know you don't remember where you opened a wallet exactly, you just remember the address you look a the address so in the bounty form I added that address. Anyway, the pay was a lot and I lost a few thousand $$$ I cried.
How can people do this to someone? Feels like decent people don't exist.

People get scammed in scam bounties all the time. Don't forget that stealing peoples time and with lies and false work is not just stealing just dishonest and despicable even more so then a plain thief.
I think having time stolen is the worst theft. So I would say I have been scammed out of my time. I have learnt what to avoid but sometimes these scams are set up so well or they project just gives up.
You never hear from them again and all the coins you hoarded are now worth nothing, a legit project you could easily see holding as the right thing to do.

If you tell that to a police officer the first thing he will ask is do you have any bank account information proof that you have to send him money and I do not think they will believe on blockchain transactions. Anyway, I also lost 0.016 btc back at 2013 on the Facebook group when I was just starting with Bitcoin. Facebook groups are full of scammers and especially if you are not careful they are going to treat you like bait.

I've never been scammed in my entire life... -snipped-

You are one of the very few who can say they havent been scammed even out of money from those phone schemes. As alot of people have been out of their hard earned money to these fraudsters over the phone.
Because even people who first got into crypto can remember seeing those hyip sites and probably put in a couple of satoshis to see if they paid out at the end of the week. This would also be considered getting scammed because they always collapse at the end.

A few years ago when I got into crypto I also started investing in HYIP using crypto because it was a faster and more secure way to deposit and withdraw money. I've lost dozens of money but I'm not sure if I can call this being scammed since I knew what are the risks by investing in this kind of projects but still my money were stolen meaning I got scammed.

When you have never been scammed before and people share their experience, it sounds like a story. I was scammed for $100BTC. I was new to crypto and I received a mail that I have won $200 BTC. But to claim my reward, I need to send some money first. The mistake I made was that I didn't consult anyone about this matter and did whatever I wanted. I now regret taking that decision, but I have learnt my lesson the hard way.

I've never been scammed in my entire life, it's pretty easy to avoid really, though sometimes you can just have bad luck.
There were a few times when I did something really stupid that could have caused me to get scammed, I'm thinking of giving a no-collateral loan to someone (just as The Pharmacist mentioned on page 1).

Luckily the person didn't end up scamming me, but they did scam someone else later on.

Yes plenty of times,
We all know that back before ICO's HYIP or PONZI SCHEMES are trendy and most of my social media friends are investor so I also tried it.
I have earned so many times through it but I also got scammed.
It is part of being an investor on those risky investment sites.

Getting scammed is never a nice thing and reading what other people have experienced shows that scammers prey on people's weakness to easily trust others...in the end genuine problems from honest people go without getting any help.

That was a sad experience OP though that time 13 BTC is not really that huge in terms of its liquidity compare to now where market price has gotten higher that reached to 8.7K USD. Well, in that case there is nothing we could do and you did the right thing whom to which you are crying with that incident. Now, it seems that many had learned lessons like this and many users now are aware on how to handle bitcoin to avoid getting scam.

And if you still gamble then I guess you have already chosen a good gambling site that will enable you to deposit your funds without getting scam. There are old good gambling sites that are operating right now and had a good reputation when it comes to online casino betting platform. I could suggest also on you to try 777 coin gambling site.

I've been scammed for about $30 worth of bitcoin and it's about some Chinese guy that will ask for help in telegram that he will give the commission when we get the bitcoin out of that scammed website. I really don't know why i fall for it but i think because I'm desperate to make profit that day and my greediness end me up losing some btc. Well we can't do anything about it just learn from our mistakes and move on.

Same thing happened with me recently somebody contacted me through telegram about a month before asking help giving 50$+ worth of bitcoin he will give back in some as he is havign working business model he started to send message soon i blocked him . The major loss happendfor me with lots of ICO and Crytpopia hack.

I have never been scammed. I have not scammed so new in this place so far. I try to stay away from all kinds of cheating. You've lost a large amount of BTC, it's really a misery. And actually, I do not know what I do if my bitcoin get scammed. So I ask for advice from the experts.

I'm happy to say that I was never scammed since I joined the Bitcoin Community, because the friend who introduced me bitcoin told me to be very vigilant and not to believe when someone offer's something like making your money double in just a week. But if that will happen to me then I'll take it as a lesson to never trust your money to anyone.

Well, its better that we never experienced scammed. The important is prepare always, because scam is anywhere and you dont know if who they are and its a serious if you a victim of scam.
