I am surprised as to how many people are willing to invest in obvious ponzis and other similar scams.

Because there are only two categories:
1) people, who want earn more profits for their investments
2) martians

Just ask yourself why are you here, in bitcoin community?

Sorry to hear that you got scammed ( or you made it up)! Anyways, A scammer scammed me 0.4 BTC at 999dice and this is what i did Tongue

You cannot do anything since the nature of bitcoin doesn't allow to reverse transactions!

The pics are funny, but I guessed crying did not make sense in this case.

OP, the best thing you can do is to learn from the mistake and do your best to not let it happen again. I'm sorry you lost money.

It may not make you feel any better, but when I was new to the community in 2012 I was scammed for 3 BTC by someone on this forum pretending to be a homeless girl. Then I was scammed for 50 LTC by someone offering some crazy return per week.

At the time it wasn't much money but now I look back and I would definitely enjoy having 3 extra bitcoins and 50 LTC.

I take much less risk now. Think long term, not chase after quick profits.

Before doing some business, I'm thinking about the motivation of my business partner. If the motivation is sharp & clear, then I'm in. If it's shady, one common example is money coming out from nowhere, then I'm refusing.

-> I never got scammed >$1. If I get scammed anyways, I'll improve my risk management.

I don't like to think about "what I will do when I get scammed" because I don't plan in getting scammed, thats why I avoid anything that looks like a scam, and for years this has worked, i've never gotten scammed. If I invested in a coin that didn't blow up and tanked it was my fault, i wasnt scammed.

That is the right thing to do, it is better we take precautions and avoid by getting scammed, As it is said that "Prevention is better than Cure", I am also using bitcoins since last 4 years and yet not get scammed, but we don't need to be overconfident about it, as scammers are much more talented than us that's what I believe.

It's probably been said already (didn't read all the responses) but the best thing to do is to first take a few days away to cool off. Once you are not quite as upset, review what factors led you to get scammed in the first place.

I am not talking simply realizing someone tricked you, I am talking why did you fall for the trick? You need to analyze what was it about the offer that so overpowered you to ignore your good judgement. Did you have any doubts at all beforehand or did you 100% trust the situation you were getting into? If the answer is yes, than you would need to analyze this as well.

If you did have doubts beforehand, but went ahead anyway, you need to figure out why you chose that direction. Simply saying greed is not enough, you need to understand your mental processes better to be better equipped to avoid situations like this in the future. The worse thing would be to have this negative experience polarize you to the other extreme and simply assume everything is a scam and avoid good opportunities altogether.

Well for me i just get over it and move on. Just accept what you have lost and then learn from it. And to make you feel better, just think it like this, there are more people out there being scammed or cheated with a larger amount than yours.

Hello buddies,

It would be sad story if our bitcoin get scammed. Cry

But it does happen from time to times, as we are all human beings, we are kind of greedy, we all want more bitcoins, and we all want the bitcoin in our wallet growing and growing ...

Then, we may get scammed by some online games, get scammed by gambling, get scammed by some investment programs, get scammed by ponzi schemes...etc., we send them our bitcoin base on their promising promises, but after the payment we'll never get their delivery as return ... and we may even get scammed by our best friends as well ...

I've been scammed by a ponzi program called Rockwell Partner, I was scammed 5.5 BTC there.
I could do nothing expect shouting everywhere it was a scammer.

What did you do to fight against the scammers when your bitcoin was scammed?

I got scammed much more than you but trying to get over it. nothing you or I can do. have it as a lesson and dont invest your money in not certain areas. And RUMI has a saying 'if you lose sth. , it will return to you in time'

Since you are a newbie so you would not know that Bitcoin Ponzi schemes are most hated here.
I've never found a website that gives you your coins back after growing them.

In initial phase of the site there are some chances that they give you back your coins along with interest so as to lure more people into it. But as their user base grows they scam people and run away with their bitcoins.

I'm sorry to hear this Sad

. If it was me, i would forget about it. Don't wasted your time to shout scammers. First it's your first experience, so let your 5.5BTC go because they won't return your BTC anymore. Learn from this and don't try ponzi again Wink

Exaclty, you cannot help it once it got scammed as the scammers are never going to return it back, as its their job to steal hard earned coins of ordinary people like us, but it could be an learning experience and should take care that the same mistake is not repeated again in the future.

I do a lot of research before putting my BTC into anything.. *shrugs*.

If someone is offering 10% return weekly...... you reap what you sow.
