Topic: Have you been scammed? or almost? - page 7. (Read 6420 times)
I have never been fooled into investing in an ICO. Because I do not participate much in the ICO. But I nearly lost my ETH wallet address by a fraudulent email. Fortunately I have found out.
Safety first, you should always be careful. Fraudsters were, are and will be. They are very predictable and come up with new traps. Personally, I receive emails every day with links to phishing sites. I immediately send such a letter to spam.
Yes, one time I didn’t receive my airdrop coin on kucoin exchange, so I tried to contact Kucoin exchange telegram group, someone in the telegram group pretended to be kucoin admin, and contacted me there and said would help me, then he DM me said that my airdrop wallet address need to be activated. If I send small amount ether to an address that he give, then the airdrop coin wallet will be activate and is able to receive my coins. Lucky I wasn’t trust him and I reported also him to kucoin exchange, he was immediately be removed.
Last year i almost fall a victim to be scammed from fake projects the said if I invest I will get 40% discount I was about to deposit my money before I found out it’s not real.
No I have not cheated not once , best not to communicate with strangers and also them something to translate if you need contact person it is better to just look it up and write , well, I was only afraid of phishing on mew!
The only incidents with fraudsters I have is plagiarism. I wrote several articles on cryptocurrency and ICO, which many then tried to pass off as their own and make money from it. Scammers will always be there, just don't let them fool yourself.
In the world of cryptocurrency, scammers may be one of the things that everyone is afraid of. And before doing anything, of course, you have to check it out because now scammers are also smart to cheat everyone. Be careful and don't easily trust others because they are not necessarily good people.
Scammers now so dodgy that it is difficult to imagine. I personally shy away from them by completely ignoring the messages of all unfamiliar contacts.
I have participated massively in scammed projects this year and it pains me having lost all the precious time to invest in those icos.
Scammers often write me offering to buy my rewards. They find telegram addresses in the bounty tables. High-quality ICO projects Now in the tables do not ask to specify the address of your telegrams, and hide the data at the address of your Ethereum wallet. This is the right decision
it was high time they concealed the data and offered those forms of acceptance which excluded fraud! I'm always sorry when managers pay tokens to those who have just stolen other people's content.
I think many people in this forum have been scammed in the past, this is a bad experience but it can make us having new knowledge about a scam. And it will help us in identifying the project in the future. You're right, we need to very careful in giving any pieces of information about our data to anyone.
I have been scammed many times by many different people. A lot of these instances occurred during my early days here. I was not that knowledgeable about the various scams and ponzi schemes and lost quite a lot of money in 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!
Yes i have been scammed mostly in ICO's today i was really mad that i always joined in scammed ICO's and sometimes i only get few rewards because they do not achieved the hardcap. Unlike last year, i always earned good rewards from the past ICO's that i have joined that is why i am hoping that ICO's will be great again. 
This is certainly not funny at all, but lately I have been exposed to a very large number of scam projects, which today in most cases are really similar to normal projects that have been on the market before.
Thanks God I had never faced the problem like that, maximum different frauds wrote me letters on my e-mail, but I think it happend to everyone.
Well, for me scammers are mostly make a tricks in bounty campaign like facebook, twitter they are commonly hide there selves by copying the links of other persons address to make sure they are legit participants. This is because i notice that some bounty campaign are computer generated of checking which cannot detect cheat participants.
I have actually never been close to being scammed because scam is very obvious and "scammers" will eventually will do a Phish thing like if you invest this amount you get double, triple even. Don't fall for that stuff i'll assure you 95% of the people saying that wants to scam you.

I do not understand how someone can be scammed by this method? It is more than obvious that they are scammers when they ask for your money.
I haven't scam yet in personal but in project or ICO i think all my ICO that i been joining is all scam. Im so wasted all my efforts and time is wasted too. That why its part of my lesson also to choose thos project who's have potential and not a scam one.

Thanks for the advise but for my side, Ive never been encounter to be scammed. Your advise is a big help for bounty hunters but others are aware of this, we have different method to trace a scammer. All we have to do is to vigilant at all times to avoid this scenario. As a bounty hunter being scammed is a painfull thing and the worst is make you dissapoint to stop supporting and participating in crytoworld because of that failure.
