I think its fair to say that risk takers have a higher chance of being scammed.

Never been scammed and I hope I'll never be. I'm pretty cautious tho.
Same with me. I've been worried by all the stories i've seen so I've managed to keep myself as safe and secure as possible! *Knock on wood!*

I guess I was cautious, or maybe lucky. If I got scammed for 1000 BTC i would be devastated.

lost 225 BTC "purchasing" ASIC hardware that never existed, from a guy named Tom based in the USA no less. he still sells fpgas on btcfpga.com. this happened about a year ago when btc was worth $12
edit: looks like btcfpga.com has changed since last i looked. i hope that dick got what was coming to him.

That's a horrible amount of bitcoins to lose
Yep, he probably used a few scammed bitcoins to get the site redone .....
You sound surprised you got scammed by someone in the USA?
How many people have been arrested for bitcoin-related scams?
1) Silk Road Owner
2) Some guys that in China that ran a virtual exchange
Any others?
Under charges: 1) Trendon T. Shavers.
And that is one big fishie

I just got my bitcoins out of inputs.io before it was "hacked"
But god did he make it difficulty for me to move them out. I had no idea why at the time. Now I do

I lost 16.8 btc due to purchasing a scammed miner.
looks like the scammability index now is 0.5, so 50% of bitcoin users got scammed before. 15% got scammed less than 1 btc. 6.5% got scammed more than 1000 btc. wow

I lost some 25 BTC when Litcoinglobal and BTCT decided to shutdown without a warning. At that time they represented some 60% to 70% of all my BTC net worth. (Right now no matter how hard I work, I still can't get to that 25 BTC mark). 
My BTCT shares were transfered to Havelock.. Did they keep everyone's BTC?

I have been scammed 0.15btc months ago (but actually knowing the risks involved at the time)
and about 0.01btc still unconfirmed (will find out soon)
Overall, I consider myself pretty careful with my bitcoins

Nice poll.
I've yet to be scammed.
I did make bad investments though.
