I never been scammed and I really love the fact that I never have been because it really would make me up sad.
Always keep your bitcoin in a safe offline wallet people.

well you're lucky dude, you must be really grateful that you have never been scammed by some fake investments. for some people including me, we have been scammed by few fake investments and we have been very disappointed and frustrated by the outcome but still these experience made us better and wiser when it comes to that case.

I guess that you are young and never tried anything else in online world, only bitcoin.
If you tried different Revshare buss. opportunities, HYIP, trading, casinos etc. I'm sure you will have different experience.
You are right, Bitcoin is the best so you don't need anything else, really.

i am not a big time player in the bitcoin echo system and i am not that greedy to earn more coins in a short time and so i have not being scammed or the best phrase would be i have not let others to scam me. Smiley

It is good for you that now you have places from where you can see or you have already seen the things that what can be scams but when i was new in bitcoin that time i was not involved in any forum like this where i could get such knowledge so i could not know anything like this which as a result made get scammed quite a lot of times.

Only once. I was so pissed with myself after, because it was so obvious to me. A guy on Steam added me and wanted to buy my inventory for 1.5 btc. It was 3 AM so naturally in my sleepy state, I was extremely compliant.

He asked me to send one thing of value before he sent me the Bitcoin, so I said I would after he signed a message. He replied with a response somewhere along the lines of "Stop wasting my time", which scared me, as this was an offer too good to pass down. So I sent him the item, worth nearly 0.15 BTC. Bad idea. Almost instantly, he unfriended and blocked me, then made his account private.

I'm sorry man, I didn't know someone is willing to scam in Steam. You should've made a feedback that he is s scammer. I think it's very hard to be scammed now in Steam because of the security features right?

People will scam anything, even in steam. In any game, scammers will scam anything that somewhat has value even when it has little value.

Scammers usually have the attitude to 'not waste their time' and they act as if they're in a hurry. Just so you wouldn't have that much time to think of the situation and you'll send your item first. I don't do deals when I'm sleepy because my mind is not in its best capabilities and I know that I might do something that I would regret once my mind is back to normal.

What are your bad experiences in bitcoin? Not just scammed by other users it could also include HYIP, Cloud mining scams, investment scams, etc. I know it's a bad thing that happened, I think it's better to share them here so you could vent out on what you are feeling.

Feel free to post anything.

I would be interesting to know how many people have been scammed by winspiral...
relative to the red trusts he should have scammed many people...
Or not?
(lol)
So far i see none scammed by him here...

Same here! ^^ I'm no big time gal in any sense. I've never taken a chance with my hard-earned money and invested it on some "sure thing"/"double-triple" anything.
In fact, whenever I hear those words, I run the other way, fast.

Whenever I do a trade, or buy something, or pay for a service, I always double/triple/10x check everything.
I don't really get people who ignore all "warning signs" and go ahead with shady/unrealistic things. It's not as if those things haven't happened hundreds, if not thousands of times on here before.

But well, as they say, there's always a first time.

Till now I was able to resist every offer that sounded too good to be true.
I never invest and I never lend. That narrows the possibilities down a lot of being scammed.
So I can say that I have never been scammed by using bitcoins.
Once I bought me a car and payed cash, but that's another story...

On altcoins,only twice but it's a wake up call to do diligence research on a coin that you are going to invest it's learning experience and it  will make you a better investors,after that I have prepared a list or guide on what to look for a crypto currency to invest.
Lack of resarch is main problem with bitcoin/altcoin scams. After some years spent here I can notice the patters of scummy behavior when I see one.
I am talking about easy to spot could mining scams or creation of "new amazing ICO" - when in reality ICO has no future at all.
In the past I was blinded by some companies which I though will never scam people - because they were like top dogs at that time - I learned that no matter how big bitcoin project is - it can go rogue.

Im using bitcoin for 6months my worst thing in bitcoin is to invest in hyip because i just really want to earn fast not knowing that hyip is very risk. I have no experience in cloud mining so im trying to know more about mining so i cant start investing.
I also invested in HYIP and was scammed.
All I would like to tell you is that most of the cloud mining websites are there for ripping you off and you can't earn anything from them.

Because you have not yet tried the only cloudmining site without miner...paying now for over 1 year...
All is for free and you can only earn...
(most of cloudlining sites are without miner...but do not pay)

ok...too good to be true...but it is true...(lol)
