That night I was blinded by greed which cost me coins. I followed a project that promised a lot of profit.
I'm interested because their tweeter has a lot of followers. Through this account, the fraudster held a prize event, where by sending a coin to an address, it was promised that it would be multiplied in a few minutes. For example, if you send 1 coin, you will get 2 coins. I didn't realize that the scammer had managed to trick me.
Topic: How many scammers have you funded by putting your money in? - page 4. (Read 1599 times)
I am avoiding people or groups whom I don't know that involves money or donations. I am bad at part of not trusting others on that way but there are so many people that used different ways just to scam others. I have earned real money in crypto without involving real money so it becomes my standard on everything I want to join to earn.
personally i am never scammed in any projects, but truely i loss some of my initial investment in shitproject. for example i am invest $100 and before its be scam project , i am sell it early and only left 50% or less. totally loss in scam project fortunately never, but in bounty campagin several times i had it

Yes, there were potentials. Though if you would imagine, how many would be willing to find those "potential projects"?It is like finding diamond covered with a loads of shit. It is a mess and might not be worth finding one in exchange of proper hygiene.
That's how crypto is happening right now, it's almost impossible to tell which ones are scammers and which are legitimate.
As for losing money in crypto, even though it's not too big, it's almost certain that everyone has experienced a victim of scamers if they invest in hype altcoins. the greater the hype that occurs in the market, the greater the chance for scammers to get prey.
There was a project I invested in 2018 thinking that the project gonna be a massive one I invested some of my my time and efforts in it by participating in their bounty campaign managed by a Sr.member of the forum after more than two months of promotion , a lot of investors invested in their ICO Lo and Behold the developers and the manager went AWOL and turned scam all my efforts was in futility and funds gone it was a very painful experience while expecting a massive profits thinking that the project is real however I have to move.

too many that I can't count them, lol
when I first started with crypto, I was still a layman, I thought all projects were convincing, it turned out that I was wrong, there were a lot of scammers, I gave some of my savings to them and had time to give up hope, but I never gave up and learned how to choose a good project. starting from seeing the team and reading the road map

It's no surprised that ICOs are being compared to NFTs of right now. It's just a pump and dump, quick to make money scheme.
I compared ICOs and NFTs as digital tulips.
Just stick with the basics: Bitcoin, Ethereum and Binance Coin.

Did the scams have founders known in the space or where the founders hiding ? If they are hiding, it's obv a bad sign even if they are hiding to protect themselves legally.
worst for me was campaigning hard for these projects. joining there campaign projects here on bitcointalk and also investing. hoping that the reward will be huge but unfortunately, it turns out the projects was a scam. the alpha mining did promotions here and people fall for that. one of the reasons some projects conducted marketing is to create an outreach and then, they dissappear.
I have so many experiences with fake projects putting up a campaign here in the forum and that’s my worst investment since I work for it and invest my time but I ended up into nothing. Good thing that we have so many concern people here in the forum and every time they see fake or scam project, they share it to the public. I'm guilty to a few of them, mostly back in the pump and dump era of 2015 - 2016. Back then, pump and dumps were extremely easy to execute since there are no regulations and there are no officials monitoring market activities. Also, not much money is around so we take even a few thousand dollars profit and then abandon the project entirely and move on to a new coin with a new name but entirely the same code. It lasted for quite a while before I left that particular way of trading and just bought and hodl.
Do we in the same way as you were before? Only a few new altcoins are offering a few thousand dollars even now. Should we expect more than before because the CMC is now over trillions. Recently I haven't funded any scammers, but unintentionally I helped them. Sometimes I start to support some scam new projects, but now I won't do that because we learn from our lessons.

I haven't funded any scammer yet but I always am anxious about this whenever I start searching for new and promising projects. I've been gaining experience day by day. I've realized that having a good experience really helps.
You only need to avoid suspicious projects, because usually scammers are always in unclear projects, so you don't have to worry about that as long as you don't easily believe in new projects that give a lot of sweet promises.

unfortunately I have been cheated many times, I have already lost money with ICO (I was anxious because it was a project about games and it seemed to me that the project had a good future, but unfortunately one of the project developers stole money and made the price of the coin drop I also lost money with a lot of altcoins that after being listed on the exchanges I found out that the creators were scammers who were creating shitcoins, I lost money. this crypt market can be cruel, there are people who have no feeling, all they want is money and they do anything to get money, create shit projects just to get money

I can still almost remember ICOs getting widely discussed in here, but I guess it now started to disappear after the year 2017, due to how many scams emerged in the market making the investor nope'd out of it. Trends are gonna arrive and scammers will follow along as well.

When 2018 has entered, the scams were a lot and that's when it started to die. Good riddance for those ICOs because many of them were actually scams and made to scam people because they saw the success from it.Trends are gonna arrive and scammers will follow along as well.
True.Despite there's now a change in the trend, they'll still make a way to scam investors money.
Way too many, way way too many, but thankfully not lately. I have invested into things back in the day called "cloud miners" which meant that you bought a miner that was run by other people, it was a stupid idea to begin with but they convinced me that instead of making money gradually, this way they made a ton of money upfront by selling it, and they buying more, and then still charged you maintenance anyway so they would make money that way, seemed like a reasonable business idea but almost none of that made any money for me at all in the end, they "made money" in the sense that I recouped some of my investment but not all of them, mining tech went faster than I could purchase so my hash rate basically never allowed me to break even and eventually the maintenance was more expensive than the money it made and hence I stopped doing it.
I lost thousands of dollars to it when I first started and if I just bought bitcoins with that, I would have made millions by now.
