Scammers message me on telegram everyday. Sometimes when I enter an ICO group I see a lot of PM claiming they are the group moderator. The funniest part is that you easily know that they are scammers from their approach.
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.
I really like your approach. it's great. This way is really a good way to annoy them. I'm a lucky person, experienced two scammer ICO, namely Oren and Benebit. Anyone got luckier?
My luck was to avoid scammers. I hope not to meet them ever. I am very cautious when dealing with ICOs (although I do not do it often), and I try to check everything before taking a decision to invest.
Once bought scam ICO tokens, but it made me more experienced, and the main thing I've known, if you invest, get ready to possible failure

its annoying every day come out another scammer, spammer or something like that. Just look at the Names of the Twitter People. There are some Capital letters or something like that. And when somebody is begging or promising if you send eth there you get more back.. its scam.
there are security measures that are worth doing. If you are careful, it is difficult to be deceived. I personally was not deceived. If there were risks, then I knew about them and knew what I'm on. No more information on the Internet. Not for what.
I will say that attempts have been made. I have been forward phishing sites through emails and discord channel when participating in ICO's, but if you don't rush into things and take a moment before sending money or clicking on links, you should be fine imo. Always cross check and don't be casual is my advice.
I’ve had people try on telegram but I educated myself and I don’t fall for any of it now. Most people impersonate admins
Nope, I wasn't. It's a very hard thing to do to stay calm and think carefully when somebody offers the best deal of the entire live. To be honest I'm trying to reduce risks to zero during such kind of offers and just avoid them. Of course you can say that I can miss some valuable opportunity by this, but anyway it's my life and my decisions are only in my charge.
as soon as I started to delve into crypto, I realized that here they earn not only on volatility but also on deception. I really hope that soon the law will be more rigid and all scammers will close
I was nearly scammed by a fake website of the binance. Sometimes I will search the exchange in the search engine but not go to the address directly. So take care of the results of the search engine.
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 was scammed before by ETHRADE. I invested 1.10 ethereum to them it was september before, then suddenly they declaire that they are bankrupt because of hacking BTC-E where they trade and by the time of deep of bitcoin. From now and then i dont believe anymore at investments sites/platform. I also use to join ONPAL and get scammed my 7k pesos im so stupid before theres a lot of scammer online so be careful. Atleast now i learned from my mistake.
I was almost scammed by someone in the telegram chat because they are claiming they are the manager of the ICO and they said that if I want to be in their whitelist I need to pay some dollars for it. It's too suspicious so I asked the admin directly then they said they are not asking for something in their whitelist.
I've been scammed a few times since I was here. It mostly happened a few years ago :
- Sharexcoin was a cryptocurrency exchange a long time ago, the guy ran away with the coins. This was nice project with its own cryptocurrency (like binance coin). It was promising until the guy left and closed everything
Lost 0.3 BTC or something like this. Sadly this was almost everything I had left at this period, so I really felt bad.
If we consider exchange closure as scam :
- I lost 0.15 BTC on MtGox, I didn't really care as this wasn't such value
- Lost a bit on cryptsy closure, don't know how much but I had almost nothing on this exchange.
- And I wanted to invest in coindash, but there was some red flags, like a wrong certificate on the website. I've chosen to not invest, which was a good choice. Seems like the devs weren't scammers as the project is still here, so the website was maybe truely hacked.
- I installed once a wallet which had a virus, fortunatly this was on a VM so I lost nothing
... And lost a lot in pump and dump in 2014, I was completely newbie and these pumps were much more agressive than now.

When I first started bitcoin. I was so confident of being scam because I am an business course student in college that I though I cannot be scammed. I was new to bitcoin and learn a little from it. The wrong move was my knowledge about bitcoin was too low and not enough. One concept I did not learn is all about HYIP or High Yield Investment Platforms. I was deceived and invested money out there without any hesitation my money could lose because I already withdrawn some of it. Through days passed by, I cannot open my account already and realized I was scammed. I stopped bitcoin because of that. One thing I realized from that was in investing, you should be very curious and do some further research. A little research and investigation would not do. Do a great reserch and be skeptical always. Be mindful and vigilant.
Yes so many times and last time was the xmrg exit scam. I was devastated and i want them to be punished to what they've done. Thank God, scam foundation will be the answer. Will be after the scammer and get justice for the victims.
I have not been scammed. But a friend of mine was. It was his fault, he did not read the WP.
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!
Same here , I almost joined an ICO which later on appears that the whole team in the project listed were fake profiles good thing I've been checking their thread and was saved by people in the comment sections who uncovers the truth. Its hard to trust ICOs nowadays but I still do since they are profitable but right now I am taking extra measures before doing so.

Until know i have lucky because i don't ever scammed in my life in this crypto world. In my experience i know if it scammer or not because i follow my rules about the serious investing. First you need to know that your buyer/seller have a legit facebook account. Then search about her/him if it os true and survey of he/she have other sucessfull negotiations
I don't have an experience because when i start here in bitcoin or any cryptocurrencyy friend always reminding me how to identify the scammer and always saying and told me those does and don't join in any attractive post because some of them was scammer and to detect the scammer they are always contacting you to invest and join to their company that is the one how you identify scammers.
