Why do people have to be like that. And pozis and scames and all. There is more than enough crypto for everyone
Since knowing and participating in the crypto. I get more and more emails, telegram messages. There are very sophisticated emails and messages that are difficult to detect as phishing.
I was just fooled into making a false ICO project, so I spent a lot of time and energy researching and analyzing potential ICO projects, so it would be better if they We choose the right project to participate and invest.
I have almost been scammed in December, 2017. I was going to join bit lend ICO, but it has orrured as a scam and I could loose my money.
I still did not get a good reward for bounty hunting. I always join scam ICO projects and I can hardly get rewards from it. I have been feel like being scam also after joining those projects that until now did not give the promise rewards. Some are already giving but sad to say it is still in the wallet and never been trade because it was not yet listed in an exchange.
One upon a time I tried to participate in a airdrop campaign. It was an email from the scammers. They asked my private key to input it to their webpage. That was a red flag for me and I banned the sender's email.
I think we have to be careful with everything that happen to us , especially related to money . The world is always full of colors and in it, there are always dark colors .
Yes I have. This was around October of 2017 where in I participated in this so-called project's signature campaign. I had a strong feeling that there was something fishy about the project. But I went on working on the campaign which ran for two months because the manager was really entertaining. He even went in saying that the project may be a scam and that we are working at our own risk. Well in the end, it was actually a scam. Fortunately I did not cash in and all I lost was my time. Honestly, It was a fun way of learning to be vigilant in choosing and dealing with these projects.
I think, that every bounty hunter have been scammed for once in their life. Especially, if bounty hunters participated in many social media bounty. As for me, I have been scammed for several times tooOn the ICO websites we can see ratings from various trackers, all with high scores. I checked on the sites, the score is really that. But can it be trusted?
Well, icobench and icoholder seem to be normally rate. But who knows, maybe scam ICOs can buy a good rating there.There is also http://topexperts.io there are more of them, and the functionality there is better.
I very often receive emails from scammers, as well as on Telegram and Twitter. And on Reddit a huge number of dishonest people, there be especially careful. Good luck!

Telegram is the worst for scamming - it almost puts me off using it. Also nearly got taken in by an ICO called Pegasus coin - it sounded to good to be true and thankfully this put me off investing. A few days later they had disappeared off the face of the planet. On the ICO websites we can see ratings from various trackers, all with high scores. I checked on the sites, the score is really that.

I have been scammed multiple times but not in terms of investment but by bounty rewards. We all know that there were a lot of scam ICO's this year, majority of them actually. What I noticed is that no one is paying for the things that they have done and scam will continue to exist if no one goes to jail by doing it. Hopefully, someone will get caught soon because we can't rely on KARMA all the time.
Yes, I was almost fooled into registering the project but they asked for my wallet key. Fraud can go through anything and we certainly have to be careful. Before we make a better decision to do research.
Someone's using my e-mail to register with airdrop. He made a composite personality. All data except ETH wallet in it are taken from real people. Usually I try to write projects that conduct airdrop. I ask them to remove the ETH wallet of the scammer from the spread.
Have never been scam and I pray that I should not fall into scammers trap. But have almost be scam several time but I don't follow procedure of any suspicion site or link send to me.
I got scammed only once, by some mining site, but after i never invested on site like that.

I am not yet being scammed here. But one time I joined ICO. In their bounty signature campaign to be exact and then the ICO not actually reached the softcap that time so they failed and didnt follow their roadmap so they decided to cancel their ICO and they didnt pay us in return. But its okay. Its a matter of sacrifice.
