Topic: Have you been scammed? or almost? - page 16. (Read 6420 times)
I have almost being scammed once when I was doing some kind of airdrop, it was one of those that takes you to a phishing site that looks exactly like myetherwallet and I was asked to access my wallet. I did not think anything of it as I thought I was on the right page and I put my private key in it, luckily for me there was no coins in that wallet and I just never used it again
Have been scammed for many times

When you are going for hyip or crypto-investing it's inevitable. The good thing about this is that you always get profit or experience as result I almost got scammed on twitter by a fake account. Scammers are setting up fake accounts pretending to be other people/ICO's/Tokens. It's very tricky if you are not paying attention. Make sure you check spelling on all names to be correct. Be careful who you give your info to. Even if it's just your email address. Scammers will not stop scamming so watch out and pay close attention to what you are signing up for. Good Luck everyone and be safe!
i think it's really ynpleasant stuff to go through! scamming is a great trend in crypto world unfortunately and i want us to be really cautious. i am paranoid with it lately, you know 
Scammers are always on the loose.Every person in the crypto world had to scammer at least once.With more people daily pouring into the crypto world scammers/hackers/fake exchanges are being made everyday.Recently I had interacted with some scammers unknowingly in telegram,twitter and also in some other social media.I had lost few bucks few years back by some scammer and also invested in some shitty projects.Its crypto world and these bad experiences help us grow all that I can say.Now I simply stick to basic principles lowering my greed LOL 
I was never scammed because I will never give my credit card details to anyone regardless of who they are. I prefer to put my info in a secured website than sending my credit card details via email or personal message. I also prefer paying using PayPal because I feel it is more secured the CC transactions. ICO's that was accepting payments using PayPal are legit based on my experience.

Yes. Indeed. Scammers has many ways to scam. There are lots of scammers in the internet. To avoid being scammed be aware to it. Just like what stated above, do not share you personal information to those people who you did mot know well. There are some scam that just one click and your personal information well stolen. Always avoid some malicious notification.
So many bounties are not paid the participants because of the lack of selling the coins and lack of investors, I've been scammed twice the project that I participated are unsuccessful.
There have been many fraud cases this year. These fraudsters have plagued the entire market, I hate these scammers, and I hope that ICO can change the way it is. Is there a safer way to implement ICO? Let investors avoid fraudulent projects as much as possible.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of projects that are turning scam. People do not want to invest in ICOs, because almost no project ends their token sale with a big success. 50 percent are going scam, 40 percent are do not reach their soft cap and only 10 percent are going live on exchanges und almost every project is losing price.

I am not completely dumb but got scammed a couple of times. There is the obvious ones like ETH giveaways on Twitter. That was done on a big scale they tried that on every project I am following on Twitter. Not sure how people fall for that. For bounties and airdrops I would like to advise not to give personal information or email away to willingly. One of the scams I feel for was someone doing airdrop on bitcointalk and then moving everything to a discord group, where he started offering masternodes for early investors. Somehow that group grew quickly he scammed I dunno 10 to 15 people and then was gone. Did not even put that much work.
Also a lot of fake admin scammers on telegram. Then there is the fake websites for ICO.
Another thing that makes it difficult is technical things like swaps from erc20 to native coins or be careful on decentralized exchanges. Etherdelta was heavily used a while ago as there was nothing else. Easy enough to enter a sale wrong by putting a 0 too much. One of my big losses was a purchase order where I switched the number of tokens I wanted to buy with the limit price. That money was just gone.
So morale here: Triple check everything and like everywhere else if sth looks too good to be true most likely it is not true.
I think if you were deceived through some messenger, then you are quite stupid and not too far-sighted person. It's hard to imagine.
I think I have been involved in a scammed ICO in the past where I devote my time and energy to. It pains knowing I was scammed but one have to move on and get over the situation. I have also been hacked before loosing a whole lots of money. So I will advice all to be extra careful with their personal information so as not to get in a situation like mine.
I am not getting scammed from using their different account, but my wallet got scammed with no reasons they get my token that have a large volume of coins even though it have no value. But I heard that many hunters get scammed their wallets and also their accounts.
I was very close to it, and only a little common sense helped me realize that I was being tricked. I was very happy and glad, because I was smarter than him.
Now the only area where you can easily be deceived is ICO. Scammers there create such cool projects that you will not understand that you have been deceived in a year.

Each of us who invest in cryptocurrency has been deceived by scammers, but here beginners can not avoid it, you have to be very careful. In this area, a lot of scams that make various traps for newcomers. So you have to be very careful.
fooled maybe not yet, but almost probably already several times. at that time I got an email saying one of my exchange accounts had suspicious activity and was told to change the password via the link provided. but for me to quickly realize it was one of the phishing links.
I been scammed also many times, i invest on bitcoin networking before at social media and end scam, now in ICOs and bounties, i don't think that i can recover of my lose until bitcoin pump nearly to 20k usd last December to January and that's my big hit.
I know a lot of people last year joined the ICO multi-level projects to be able to earn a lot of money in a short time. However, in January this year, after Bitconnect crashed, it pulled all the way to the bottom
I don't know if this counts as a scam because technically I didn't have any lost money getting involved but I lost a lot of time and effort. I have been working for a bounty campaign for 8 weeks and when the campaign ended I didn't received anything. Turns out the campaign was a scam. Although I didn't lost any money, I feel bad for the investors who lost theirs.
