No I haven't. I'm always super catious about new ICO projects. There are a lot of scammers out there so I make sure I know what I'm supporting.
And I usually wait till market to buy and just keep all the coins from airdrop. But I see scam projects just about daily. Too many of them.

No, not yet. But with the rise of the numbers of scam projects one of these days I will unless I decide to stop going for ICO projects.
I could just wait for them to go on the market and buy coins if I want to invest in them. But I do like showing support so.
For an ICO, check the website first. Try discord to see if they are legit or not.

Yes I have. It was an ICO project. They were in the early stages so they had airdrops and such. I received a couple and then boom all of my coins disappeared. Fortunately all I spent on that coin was nothing but some time. So I don't really care. But I should have done more research.
yes when i was new to airdrop and really almost, because i did found a bot asking for my private key my friend said it was legit but i didnt try it and my friends got some coin from that site but after 2 or 3 days his account lost all the coins. and also last year i found some good project and i want to donate some because the project seems promising and i am feel good to invest on that project but i ask my old friend and he said it was scam because they cant withdraw the coin from the site
Yes I've been scammed several times before when I was just starting in cryptocurrency. Usually I've always been scam by hiyp or high yield investment plan wherein your investment in a particular site will give you a high profit after a short period of time. There are a lot of scam in cryptocurrency. Usually if its good to be true, its probably a scam.
I almost got scammed by some scam airdrop which was redirecting me to some page which looked legit like myetherwallet but they were stealing peoples private keys.
Oh good thing you quickly notice the phishing sites as that's really rampant recently or else you're fucked. Fortunately, so far I didn't encounter any of these but still I'm cautious in every action that I made. Just always have a presence of mind in everything so we can at least avoid getting there.
To date, I have only a little experience the ICO that scam. We are always interested in the ICO project with very large gifts but it's created just to cheat investors. When the fund investors accumulated and then the project cannot access or miss. And this is a valuable experience for me in following the ICO project.
I have been fooled and invested in some fraudulent projects. This has given me a lot of experience to choose better projects. Hope my experiences will help me not to be cheated again.

Every day, in my email or telegram or Twitter, I run into scammers who want to "help me" whith what ever it is that they do. But on the other hand, let's be honest, all of the scammers are trying make some living, just like us, difference is that they think that we'll pay them 
I've been involved in a lot of projects, which would be weird if one day I didn't come across. But everything went relatively well and I came across them.
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 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. Yes I was almost scammed. There was the individual I met over a social media platform he claimed that he was to private sell a coin for me and he ask be to send him money for it and also that I should send my wallet and my private key but from knowledge I have gain. I know that no one that is legit can ask for one's private key
We always have to pay for the lessons learned. How much money do you have? Hope it is not too expensive for a lesson. We will be more careful when making mistakes.
I have not been scammed here in bitcoin. I've advised not to give my private keys to anybody if it includes MEW passwords through airdrop forms. I think I have sufficient knowledge and vigilance to avoid the risk of scam. You should refer to some of the heroes and legends in the forum. They will be happy to guide you in detail and you will no longer worry about scam risk

Well, I was not deceived. More was on the verge of risk. This is not very difficult. After all, we are always very risky. When we invest or look after the company. And so that there was no deception. It depends on you, be always attentive.
information that helps, indeed the email address is very risky if someone knows it because email can involve many things such as the use of your social media code, the performance in registering anything that uses email including in this case is project, airdrop and investment, so always be careful in its use and don't let anyone know, let alone be allowed to use your email.
I have been scam, but i have learn with this experience and use it to be more wise with every decision that I take.
Scammers contact me every single day in Telegram. They start with "Hey user". What a lame and obvious approach. They are my greatest entertainment. I joke with them and mock them severely.
Yes it happens to me a while i was new in this crypto so i am not good enough or having some ideas of what to do here,so many contacted me or call me in telegram sectuon i dont know if this people are from the admin or just a scammers? All they want is to.invest and give there etheradress where i may gonna send my investment,atleast 2000 is the lowest value, i dont know what to do if that is really required? So i find myself to ignore those people anymore.,is that real admin or what?
As far as i remember, there was a coin envin or envion something like that i got scammed even i posted many.
