Topic: Have you ever been scammed? - page 18. (Read 1838 times)
Well, I never get scam yet on my own investment but I got plenty scammed on bounties who says they paid big in stake. So lesson learned, never a victim again.
Can you share this experience?
haff... I was naive to invest in some projects, first project I invested by failure I did not pay attention that it was another coin different from the coin I wanted and to make worse the situation the dev disappeared and the coin fell 100% of its value that I bought , resulting in total loss of my money
i invest in another alt, this time the dev was banned from yobit chat because he was promoting his altcoin. you already know how yobit moderator is strict. the coin was deslited from yobit and fell to 1 satoshi, I bought when the coin had the price of 450 satoshi was a big disappointment... I bought many coins in yobit and I had many disappointments, if I were to comment my disappointments I think it would occupy more than 10 pages... hahahaha
what the project was it?
I will not speak the name of the coins

Dude, when you're a newbie, you believe in a lot of empty promises.
Many times I've experienced a scam not just one but many times that I really care about when I'm going to campaign because there's a scam in the campaign when you're upset then you're not going to get paid. and of course the investment needs to be careful because you invest in an investment site.
So far I haven't been scammed as I never invested in MLM coins, however at early stages, I lost in trading which is quite common if you are new in trading. Now I am really comfortable with crypto trading 
Fortunately, I haven't. But I don't let my guard down. Scammers are everywhere. They might be popular on the real world but now, they are also here trying to take advantage of users. So try to learn more about something you are dealing with to avoid this kind of unfortunate events. People will try and try to take advantage of you. It will always be a matter of knowledge and familiarization here to survive. And also, well, even though I haven't been scammed, I know that some scammers will not try to hurt you or take something from you, the most common is you will not get something in return to a scam campaign. You will only lose time and effort.

Unfortunately yes, I have been scammed in so many ways through couple of times and it really gave me a lot of disappointments and even thought of life as unfair. I have thought that life has been too playful that I even lost my earnings because of those scams. However, the good thing about it is that I've learned from it. I've learned to be careful next time specially if it involves money.

Its good to hear that you also learned from you past experiences. I also got scam before here, There is antime where I joined in a signature bounty campaign after almost 3 months of afvertising their coins the manager of the campaign leave us and didnt give the rewards for us. Not only there but also in investment I thought that it was only $200 to earn but as the time passed by they have more payment that need to be done and until now I didnt get any return from it.

No till now i didn't got scammed. May be its because i use to first go through the entire ann thread and the website of the project before joining. And if the information of the project is not given then i usually don't join them.

Yes. when i was a beginner i got scam by an investment website. My friend introduce me the investment website, he tells me that i can earn profit without doing nothing just to invest and wait for a weeks or days to get profit. After a weeks the investment website is shutdown and not accesible.
So far i was never being scammed by anyone relating to btc or projects based on bitcoins.But today i happened to get an sms related to btc on my mobile .But i did not try risking myself by opening the link that was send along in the message as i have heard few things related to the scam that has already started attaching mobile phone and things are getting hacked including the wallets were being hacked so i never open any links which come as text on my mobile as i don't wish to put myself at risk.
Once yes, by investing in a bot that looked more promising than the others... I lost very little, but the lesson was learned. It's a cruel world where there are more bad people than good people... You have to be very careful
No,but i know that this bitcoin investment are secured and i dont know that it may also create scam.
No, I never get stuck because I am just now involved in the Bitcoin forum, but I could not make any investment here or I could not earn any bitcoin on the forum side, so I'm away from being scared, but if you can earn
Yes I have been scammed by a bounty campaign I've joined and waited for the announcement of the distribution but never heard since then. And the campaign manager assigned was gone for good too.

I think most people who are into crypto have been scammed at least once in their crypto time. It's also a good lesson, so that next time you will know what to avoid when dealing with people or doing transactions. I have scammed before when I first learned about crypto last 2013. I tried to invest all my funds in a bitcoin investment before and ended up getting nothing from it. From then on, I am very careful when investing or doing any transactions.
Lessons learned, and by reading all the stories, we can know other possible forms of fraud so that in the future we can be more vigilant.

Yes, I do. Bitconnect scammed me because of their lending program. I thought this coin have a potential knowing that its in the market but I guess I was wrong.
