Yes! This month my last year campaign that I joined didn't pay me for what I've work for them even they always Say's they working on it and after waiting for so long nothing happened and they also kick who ask the campaign manager to their telegram like me. That was so awful for some participants like me that they can really do that thing to people who work for them.
Well I would state yes. I have been misled. I joined a specific battle. I have worked for around a month and a half before I could recognize that the task is a trick. One should be watchful while picking them.
I am thankful that I never been scammed or even almost,maybe because I seldom negotiate with other people here in crypto and usually I joined bounties that i knew it is valid or legal.
as it is unfortunate to say, but there are a lot of scammers and scammers on bitcointalk. In addition to deception in Bounty companies, developers of different projects can deceive themselves. In addition, hackers always hunt for poorly protected accounts. I was already stolen 1 and I could not return it. 
I haven't been scammed for the entire time I worked here but my friends had been. Scams are inevitable here but I hope I won't experience one. Im so grateful not experiencing one

I remember that the last time I get scammed is in the cloud mining. in that time, I register in the sites which offering to mine bitcoin and altcoin at the same time and me still a new person which join in the crypto. I decide to send some amount to upgrade the hashrate in my account but unfortunately, it only works for a month or two months. and after that, the site disappears and I cannot continue to mining again and after I read on some websites that explaining about cloud mining, I realize that if I want to mine bitcoin or altcoin, I need to choose only the recommended site and since then, I never join in the cloud mining again and I think it's better to mining in my home only.
Still now I have not been scammed. But scammer always try to contact with me by giving personal message in telegram. If you follow there instruction then you will loss all your investment. So be careful.
Often scammers write me a personal messages in Telegram, appearing as managers of ICOs. Of course, following their instructions, you will lose all your "investments".
I also experienced scam last 2017 I joined a Signature I did not know that scam, all the time I spent in the campaign was wasted, last month I scam also in social media, I'm scam in three time, but now I'm careful not to scammed.
Yes i was scammed and i my wallet was hacked fortunately it was not that much. I hate these people who are scammers and hackers because they are enjoying the hardwork of the people. But i don't lose hope, I did my research on how not to be scammed and hacked again and so far i am good and had a profit now.
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 get lots of scam messages everyday on telegram ico chat... twitter and Facebook... one just have to be careful but you can never be too careful
I have been scammed before both ICOs and some of these HYPs investment platform, what I discovered is that of you are greedy and novice in this space you will likely get scammed and offer that is too good to be true will likely be a scam offering
When I was a forum newbie I was scammed by a forum member when I tried to purchase tokens directly from said user (missed out on the ICO). It was a stupid mistake on my part as I didn't do my research about how you ranked up, I was too trusting and didn't use an escrow service (back then I had no clue about them). So, if you ever find yourself in that situation, always use an escrow service or simply wait until the token / coin makes it to a reliable exchange. You will probably end up paying more, but if it is a project you really believed in it may be worth it.
Phishing attempts are way too common these days, so yes, we always have to be extra careful before clicking on anything.

I haven't scammed yet but i almost scammed when etherdelta is under pishing activities.
I have been scammed bwfore. The last bounty campaign I joined turn out to be a whole scam. Bassically after all the hard work we have done, the people behind the bounty campaign jist disappeared. It is really frustrating, all your hard work all go to waste. After that incident I learned to be more cautious and very picky on bounty campaigns I plan to join.
I have been scammed many times, as we see more companies on the market than we see much more scams, unfortunately. Before, previous year we saw 90% true and good projects, now it maybe just 70%
I was scammed only once with the ICO, it was my first investment in ICO, I invested 1 ETH, but it served me a good lesson, I made it out for myself that I should not invest in ICO or invest only after you start to get well in them, my further several investments appeared to be successful.
I almost joined a scam bounty campaign. My uncle joined the campaign it said that it was open for everybody.My uncle invited me to join but since I was just a newbie back then and had little experience of bounty campaign I did not understand their rules and I found it confusing so I decided to leave the campaign and 2weeks after I heard from the same uncle he said that it was just a scam and he found out a week ago.
I participated in several projects, where from the very beginning the managers showed complete disregard and I just threw them, and as a result, in most cases, the ico did not collect the amount that was planned
Yes. I was cheated. Immla ICO. The team probably ran away. I only invested a small sum eth but the money is still gone. so I must have been cheated. You have to be careful where you invest, but it can always happen again.
Hmmm. I would say yes, I have been scammed before and that was the reason why I dislike airdrops. I was told to send my private key wallet to receive some tokens. And it was stated there that they won't have any thing to do with my wallet. After sending them they didn't give me any coin instead my coin in my wallet was stolen.
