Topic: How many times have you've been scammed? - page 6. (Read 19009 times)
It seems to me that I was always cheating the government of my country. All officials are crooks and only then do nothing but steal and cheat. But really my little tricks are more harm than they?
I have been scammed enough times to know not to trust anyone asking for your money.
And do you trust people who do the opposite...people who only give you money?
The problem is here:
People prefer be much scammed than be little rewarded...
Believe me I know it...I see it...I live it...(lol)
Do a test:
Offer something...you are taken for a scammer.
Well to be honest I can't really count how many time's I have been scammed but hey we should also know that being scammed is part of our life specially in the cyber world we could get scammed in so many way's,maybe not by HYIP or PONZI schemes that we invested in or by the alt coin's that we bought for trading that become trash or by other earner's,I know that we are all aware that it's normal to be scammed if you are an investor
I must fully agree with you, because if we take as the very essence of the fraud, it is not necessary to talk about what has been done on the Internet, because a lot of other people doing the action in real life. Even the smallest detail.

I have been scammed thrice and then I searched for a currency that cannot be reversed like paypal and then I found BITCOINS 
I was scammed by donaldcoin last year, and recently I got involved in a ponzi scheme (EarningCloud), but fortunately in both cases that losses were not very large but equally painful and disappointing.
Scammed a few times during the times of Liberty Reserve but not anymore.
I've been scammed at least as many times as I have paid income taxes.
0! research is the key
over 10 i lost money from scamer site
I was scammed twice, though it was a long time ago, when I still used faucets.
First time it was a faucet. Second time it was when I deposited some coins in a cloud-mining site. Afterwards I learned to search and be more cautious.

6-10 times I remembered I was scammed mostly from websites pretending from UK with some company registration documents whatsover or something, the one that says 120% in 200 hours, principal investments return in 24 hours etc..some cloudmining websites that after 1 month it disappeared, and some bitcoin doubler oh my god same all shit script.the most popular scam doubler site I know is dobtc.win lol always reset and all money was gone..
That's really sad that you've been scammed 6-10 times. It must be really a work of art that they managed to scam you many times. Their documentation must be convincing. Cloud mining is sometimes promising, but it's not from what I've read. They would just get your money away.
I was hacked. A couple of years ago I lost 1 month of LTC mining because I was stupid and used a easy password on the pool site. The same password that someone get off me by phising here with "free coin! just sign up".. It was my fault but I have learned.
As one famous person said that everything that does not kill us makes us stronger. Thus, all that is happening, it's just experience.Nah, that's just something losers say to make themselves feel better.
It's a way to get yourself better, and it doesn't hurt if you believe right? It's better all right. It's okay to believe in something, be positive and the outcome would be positive too. (Another loser saying this again?)
I've never been scammed before and I hope to never get there in my life because a friend once fell victim and the emotional expression alone told me how bad an experience it is. I guess being careful and taking precautions before transacting business with unknown people should be paramount.

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 had 5 times scammed when investing cloudmining, ICO launching, trading sites.
That is enough for me to wake up when investing.
I lost some to Gaw miners and that was pure scam. Luckily I was able to sell paycoins before they tanked to nothing. I can't believe how many hung on after the writing was on the wall. I was dumping my miners cheap and everyone thought they were getting a bargain. Poor bastards. Could have been much much worse for me and I consider it a cheap lesson.
Lost 76 litecoins at Vircurex. That was around $800 at the time. Scam, hack, or inside job? No one knows for sure. They still show as "frozen" but I've never had any unfrozen and don't expect to after all this time.
Lost a little bit of btc at Mintpal which was pure scam/thievery. Might have been a couple scraps of something else too.
Write it off as the cost of doing business.
Actually fraud and deception all preferred in most cases to remain silent and not to dwell on what you are doing on the case itself. This issue is very delicate. Lost 76 litecoins at Vircurex.
