Topic: How many times have you've been scammed? - page 17. (Read 19028 times)
Lost just over 0.4 BTC at terabox, double check everything ever since!
I could have been scammed lots of time but just because I had been into ptc sites as well before I got into bitcoin I became extra careful when it came to investing in btc hyip, cloud mining etc but still I was scammed but that's only once when I made an investment of some of my btc in a shitty doubler or btc multiplier. So I would say it's only once when I was scammed.
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.

so far i have only been scammed once by cryptsy when they decided to take my bitcoins and run away with it. the somewhat good news is that i only had less than 0.2BTC there before they stopped allowing withdrawals and it was stuck forever.
I have been scammed two times, I got sad and frustrated but later on I just accept and moved on. I know, no one should blame but only myself; it's my mistakes. In first investment is a doubler site which 36 dollars was gone and followed by 1 dollar on the other site.
No doubt scammers are here in bitcoin world, but it is not difficult to handle them, only use your mind well and do the right work in investment. Actually, many chances of scammers are here in investment instead of trading and gambling. That's why i am not giving my amount to an other hand, because i am doing my own investment.
You are right, scammers are everywhere and they are waiting for the right time to scam people. They may pretend to be honest and will get your trust and once they have it, they will scam you. There are several red tag member here with lots of positive feedback from regular members but then was tagged by DT with scamming. How could this be possible?
I have not been scammed yet, but I was made to believe by some faucet sites that they are going to give some bitcoins by just a few clicks. Good thing I did not subscribe and pay a small amount or I aould have been added to the list of those scammed. There is also a guide here on who are the bogus and untrusted sites giving different offers.
I got taken for some money from all these Cloud mining services, when they were still very new. I believed all the hype around the returns that I would get, and bought a lot of hashing power. I never reached ROI in any of the Cloud mining I have signed up for.
It is all funded by Ponzi type schemes, and you are just lucky when you get away from that with a bit of money.
Oh, and then I also bought some Chickens in that Chicken farm Ponzi game. It turns out, all my eggs were rotten from the start. ^grrrrr^

In bitcoin world? I think just once. By cloud mining... damn I hated that. Worst experience and that too at the start of my bitcoin usage, but I learnt my lesson.
I never been scammed because I simply do not trade or buy things from people that are not having a good feedback or not even have one these days its just so important to be on the look out.

In investing , im a newbie that time first i tried to invest small amount and it doubled and I got paid. Because Im newbie i got excited and invest a bigger amount bigger in what I invest on the first trial. Then I got paid also. But in the third when I almost give all my btc and that investment site is having lots of investor BOom. That time they just bring back few of what I invest telling they system got failure something issues. So yhen what I expect to double lessen more. So lesson learned dont give all in one investment site. As much as possible portion it.
Well back in my day my parents taught me this cool thing called common sense. I'm very lucky because I've applied it to real life and you know what? I've never been scammed.
Would you also like to never get scammed? Try these simple tips:
That's about it. Anything I should add? Don't be stupid, naive? Everyone else wants your money so don't be dumb with it.
Would you also like to never get scammed? Try these simple tips:
- Does it sound to good to be true? Walk away.
- Do you have to trust the other person? Then it's not for me.
- Is there a ton of risk for you but no risk to someone else? That's a red flag
- Common sense. We already went over this.
- Guard your freaking money like it's a baby on your teat and you're a damn tiger. You want to hold my baby? You damn well better make it worth my while. I'm ready to leave right not. Don't screw around or I'll fight or flight on you!
- I see a newbie selling "X" for $50 when it would usually cost me $100. RUN! Whatever you do, don't buy it. It's carded or they won't give you anything. If somehow miraculously you don't get scammed now you'll be arrested later for using a stolen card. Just don't do it!

I was scammed frequent times.Feel free to post anything.
Specially when it comes to selling goods like TBC
Yet, I was never scammed by cloud mining and investment because I never do that.
Too many HYIP are in that industry.
Also, my worst experience is my first time I did trading in crypto currency.
I was so dumb that time.
I didn't manifested what does buy orders and sell orders mean.
Now, I put more doubt in eveything.
Should consult others befire initiating a decision.
If to talk about various HYIP's, ponzi's ans similar shit I was scamed up to 10 times. But it was small loss, because I knowed about risks and didn't invested much. Mostly times I didn't got ROI, so I started to avoid such shady investements sites. And I'm happy that I never invested in to cloud mining.
Also, I was scamed by faucets so many times that I even count it. But it was question worth only some cents.

Fortunately I have never been scammed with bitcoin but in the past I lost some money to HYIP a grand total of 20 bucks, not much but I learned my lesson. Feel free to post anything.

I've been scammed many times before. First is by investing in HYIP sites. Then in Cloud Mining, Hashocean to be exact. I know there are lot of people scammed by the Hashocean right? Next is by investing in scam coin in trading. Although there are many times I've been scammed. Still I can get it back by working hard and making sure that I will not do that foolish thing again. And right now it doesn't happen anymore
I've been scam so many times in hyip but I think its part of being an investor and taking risk its just like gambling you just have to know when to quit and lastly invest what you can afford to lose Happy earning guys 
I have been scammed quite a number of times and I have regarded all as a form of lesson. Firstly was as by HYIP as I was a novice. I saw this nice site with all the promises and the likes and I was like " i could really make a cool money" but alas the dream was cut short my money went down the drain. The other one was when I wanted to exchange Bitcoin to FIAT, I was actually still a novice then too. I was scammed and because Bitcoin is irreversible, I lost my money...
I am using bitcoin for a long time, but still i am not scammed for a single time. Maybe the reason is that I am very causious while investing my bitcoin or tading or even dealing with anyone. I really do study before investing in any site for gmabing or in buying selling goods. 
I have never been scammed, fortunately. Maybe it is not only luck but also me not trying to get involved somewhere and to earn money (I think this is how people get scammed usually. They believe they are the smartest and don't see the trap). Where are people usually scammed, by the way? Is it mining pools?
I had been very careful of not to be scammed but not until recently where a site came out with the "provide help, get help" shit and I was like since its new let me put because the one I know of hasn't scammed yet but after I had "PH" then wait for 15 days only to asked to "GH" then its not coming that's when I know I have been scammed. Never will I do that again.
