Just purchased cigarettes from an online site, the customs caught them and they wont reply to my e-mails..
I´m not sure if they scammed me or....
(btw the site is dutyfree.io, it has a review discussion on  this forum and everyone was positive)

Cigarets online is something new I hear. Maybe cause of it was your first time you made a mistake and that why the final wasn't like you expected.
I have been scammed only once. A guy from a bank asked me to fill the form about the services of the bank, but in fact it was the form for a loan.
Well it is a legit site, but the problem is : their support doesn´t feel like answering me anymore.
When you submit a ticket on the site, it says something like ´We will answer within 24hrs´
When I sent my ticket before ordering they answered within 12hrs, after ordering they´ll ignore you. Sad

Sadly, I was scammed many times online, mostly through different HYIP and RevShare programs.
At least, I' lucky that I never lost my bTC funds until now.
For me, Bitcoin is my ticket for the better future so I keep my bTC in the safe place.
I don't trade, don't gamble and don't exchange my precious Bitcoin Smiley

When i started using bitcoin i first joined HYIP it started smoothly paying me double..
I was really happy since it was my 1st, just invested and doubled my btc... I have no idea bout those HYIP's..
I just know that i'm making money real easy... In just less than a month it stopped paying... Tongue I was really frustrated..
Almost all  i earned gone.. But still i joined other Hyip's and doublers i was addicted to it until i met someone who is to
altcoin trading and helped me.. Now i'm happy with altcoin trading though there are many shyt coins out there and scammed
me sometimes.. lol... i love risk though...

I've been scammed many times but still positive here... If you win you will be happy...
If you lose, you will be wise.... happy earnings everyone...

Lucky for you that you could able to double your money with HYIPS because i do know about them that most sites closed without reaching your roi and ran off after 1-2 days since they start. This is really a normal thing for most newbies out there which they really knew or see that earning money was easy because of those doublers exist but those hopes will be broken when you experienced scams.

   Until now I havent been scammed, simply cause i didnt invest my money anywhere except in sportsbetting. Im very careful with my bitcoins, I worked hard to collect them and i`m afraid to invest in something risky. This is not first thread about scams, after seeing so many stories how people have been scammed I plan to be extra careful. I still didnt learn how to protect myself on internet.

I think less 10 only was scammed me before when I start in the world of Bitcoin I don't know before the investment site / hyip/ ponzi turning into scam . but as of now I didn't invest in the ponzi because its 100% scam. I also scam an altcoin I bought a coin before and then I cannot sell it after because the owner run. As of now I did not experience scam because before to buy a coin I will checked it if the coin is a legit not scam.

Well scammers are being creative everyday.  they improve everything, they even present a much professional website than the legit one, they really want to make you believe that they are real, they even have a support person at the other end. so it is no surprise people are being scammed again and again.  One and best example is the altcoin section, you can see history of different scam coins in there.

Well, So far, I haven't been scammed  Grin (and I hope I will never be), but I can tell you that greed and enthusiasm can drive people to trust scammers and throw their money off to them.
ONCE   Grin

Though I can't really say it's been scammed. lol.
There was one time, over a year back, where I got to talking with a guy I've seen around on some site we've both been playing at. He was probably winning a good amount as he just suddenly gave me about $90 worth of bitcoin at the time. Then he got to talking that he was the owner of some cloud mining/hyip site and I should invest with him so I could make some money.
I was like, 'What the heck, sure, it's his money anyway.' So I went and invested $30.  Grin Grin
Not even a week after, no one's heard from him again. and I never saw a trace of those 30 bucks again..
(Quite a sad story,huh.  Grin Grin)  Haha.
Anyway, that was the only time I invested in those kinds of things.(that I can remember)
Slummy Bastard! Grin Do you call that a scam? Tongue (who scammed who? you or him). And where did those $60 go?! Tongue (Although, I still don't understand why would he run with $30 bucks only?! I mean he could have made you invest more by giving you some profits at first, then take your bigger investment and run off. Really seems like you scammed him Tongue Grin)

It was a scam, since he invested in that cloud mining and cloudmining company ran.  The $90 is out of context on that scam action.  It was clear that it was given to him.  So by principle it is his money already.  And the money he decided to invest ($30) has gone like a wind.  Without any trace .

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.
So far so good here, I always consider and do many research before invest on some sites in case I could loss and try not too hurry decide it. I've read many posts in this forum about those scam and others way to tricks you, so I won't believe on easy money to earn by investing money which could double it, seems such as scam for me  Grin

I was scammed by tow cloud mining that time I was new to the cloud mining. I lost approx 50-60 Dollars.
After that I never invested in any cloud mining Ponzi schemes.
Well you are lucky that it is just approximately 50 to 60 dollars. Some of the bitcoin users here lost almost a thousand or.maybe a hundred thousand. Why some people here are so not trustworthy.

All HYIPs are ponzis, i hope you realise that. Doublers are also all ponzis. Nothing without proof of what their business model is and especially with such a high promised return rate is sustainable and should not be trusted.

But yes, this is a problem with bitcoin being irreversible. It is the preferred method of payment now for the HYIP industry, just after Payza and Perfectmoney. Every time you get scammed, you become better at not getting scammed. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Too many times.

I have been scammed so many times in the crypto world that i have lost track counting. I usually just forget about the small scams and move on, while the big scams that run away with thousands of user bitcoins are the ones that would hit me the most personally because i would have likely also been invested in that site.

I've been scammed twice, buying items which were then never sent. Not for a lot of money but it has made me extra careful about using money online
Most of us when we are newbie has experience being scammed online, it's normal maybe especially when we are attracted with investment that gives us a good return, they are mostly the scammers in this world of crypto. But with your experience being scam buying online, I guess it's easy to avoid that, just only buy in a reputable store.
when I was a newbie my first 3 months was a struggle for me, I was scammed almost 90 $ by just finding my way of earning. Im using bitcoin for 1year and i earned a large profit from it. My 90$ was retured i  just 1 day by just playing gambling games. Im happy That I dont give up easily on bitcoin. Even i was scammed too many times i gained it back fastly when i know How can I earn bitcoins
