I've been scammed somehow a little bit funds but this makes me more wise. I learn from my mistake and always be careful of what I'm doing. Being scammed is part of a stepping stone for the better future in crypto.

I haven't scammed yet but i almost scammed when etherdelta is under pishing activities.

Some people almost scam on airdrops and telegram because most coins has no value or exchanger, as well as on bounty too. Sometimes bounty hunters  lend their time doing those rules and regulations of a campaign but at the end, they receive nothing

I have been defrauded on a few events. It was some time before I became more acquainted with that there are phony airdrops and where some request gifts. I sent eth to some without getting anything consequently. In spite of the fact that, that was the point at which I was as yet a beginner to digital money. Additionally, you should be cautious with sends the spam your email and be watchful of not tapping on phishing destinations.

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 have been scammed once but not on Twitter, I was buying a product on selly and then I paid for the product but in return I never got the product I ordered. So I called the seller and he said to wait for a day till the delivery and then I waited too but there was not any message in my mail regarding that and then the seller also stopped responding to my mails.

I do become a victim of scam before, but most of them are from bounty campaigns, not literally scammed by doing transactions with other people, but I also experienced that before.
To me I think that I never become scammed in trading or even from a bounty, although I still not participated in bounty campaign, but I am doing crypto trading for a long time but I think that it is my good fortune that I still no scammed in trading crypto currencies.

I was almost scammed on Telegram when someone who pretended to be admi pm me and was providing a way by which I can buy tokens. When I checked the group he had almost the same name with the admi but he didn't have the admi tag. He also stole the admi's profile picture to confuse me. Beware of scammers..they are everywhere.

Never. And I hope it always will be so. I'm always very careful when I pick ICO projects to invest, coins to trade or a bounty to participate. I don't want to be fooled.

I have never been fooled by an IO scam investment, but in a bounty campaign, I was lucky and I only became a victim as a bounty hunter, and there was no financial loss, only time and effort was wasted

Yes, I was hit by a scam and I lost the bitcoin that I had even though it wasn't much but it was very valuable and I got a loss, when I was hit by a scam in one of the trendy cloud mining hyips and is no longer there and with that experience I can know not to invest like that again.
Lesson to be learned on that we may also have to be more aware well more people are been trap on that situation so we should always be more careful on what we have to do for specially when you are have to transact your money for it.

I have never been scammed but I testified the one which happened to my closest friend. it started with an email being sent to you that you have the chance to double your tokens. Do not be greedy to an extent that you will not bother to read what entails in the form. Upon hearing that he will get double of his token, he quickly copied his private key to a portion they requested for. In less than One minute, his account was empty.

I have not been scammed yet thanks God ))) but lots of my friends who are longer in cryptocurrency world than I am, they were scammed at least once for this period of time. It is really hard sometimes to predict whether the project turns out to be a scam or not. It is really a tricky thing.
