Somewhere around 2014, before I was active on this forum, I got scammed by a user in another forum trying to buy Bitcoin. I was under 18 back then and couldn't acquire cryptocurrencies through exchanges. It wasn't a significant amount, but it managed to piss me off. Another small amount of Bitcoin was lost on my Xapo wallet, which I couldn't regain access to, and their useless support basically claimed that I had no balance on my account even though I had emails providing the opposite.
Some other smaller amounts were also lost for years on Blockchain.com wallets but were fortunately recovered a few years ago.

Well I understand the cloud mining scam, but what about the airdrop? how could they scam you buy airdroping something to an address ?
It was someone I saw on a forum, not bitcointalk forum, that introduced me to a telegram channel, it always give new airdrops links. I try one link and I was asked to pay fee so that I will be able to be one of the first people they would be given the airdrop coins too. If you pay any money, no airdrop coin and the money you pay is lost. Another that I know but did not happen to me because I do not do KYC airdrop at that time. It is the use of your information by scammers for phishing attack against you.
Never give your seed phrase or private key to anyone that you do not know, it is your coin. I hope that will never happen again.
I have not be scammed before in anything related to bitcoin and crypto generally, I was lucky to know all those scam and I avoided it. The one I can remember are two, which are airdrop scam and cloud mining scam. It was super easy for me to avoid both.

Edit: Back in Feb 2020, I gave my seed phrase to someone on twitter. The convinced me the seed phrase was equal to my address and that they needed it to send me bitcoin. Don't ask me why I was so stupid... I lost approx. 1M sats and I had to start accumulating again. I bought a Trezor and I started reading...
