It sucks, it happened to a friend of mine a long time ago, all those people on telegram are more than disgusting and it is not worth to join and chat to those guys. Better to buy tokens directly from the website, that is the way to go
Topic: Well, I just got scammed - page 10. (Read 3059 times)
I wanted to participate in the Iagon pre-sale. I joined what I thought was the official Iagon telegram. Turned out it wasn't. I followed the instructions on the pinned message, which directed me to send ETH to a specified wallet address. Turned out it was all a scam, and I lost 5 ETH.
Really sucks. The lesson is be careful out there.
You need to be very careful. Double-check all references several times, or work directly with project managers via telegram. Really sucks. The lesson is be careful out there.
Obviously it's tragic, however the creator additionally should be more honed. It was important to first locate an official site and there as of now enlist and purchase tokens.
Odd, these deceivers are becoming more and more, and it is already difficult to distinguish a fake account. I most recently hacked my efirium wallet, which was in the general where somewhere on 20 eth.

That is terrible. Unfortunately it‘s getting worse and worse with scammers nowadays and I believe they are one big reason why people walk away from crypto.
Was this your first ICO?
Can you share the real and fake telegram here so others don‘t fall into the same trap?
You're not the first and won't be the last. What's more, this isn't the first and the last venture, under the appearance of which will shroud con artists. In any case, in your circumstance you are at fault yourself. As the precept says "measure 7 times, cut 1 time". It appears, you have rushed.
Sorry for that mate.Scammers are developing their deception in professional ways more and more especially with the growth of crypto popularity.Everyone should be careful and secure his funds.It will be a lesson for you and all crypto community.

I'm very sorry about your loss bro, 5 ETH is big for me. These scammers are very smart, makes it hard for one to avoid. Lessons learnt. i have also learnt from your mistake, Telegram is worst these days.
When you're dealing with money you gotta recheck everything at least twice.
I am sorry about your loss. I am interested to know how did you end up in the wrong chat? Did you followed the link from the ICO page or some other way?
The scammers are everywhere.I think that is one of the reasons why people fear cryprocurrency so much.I almost got scammed too when I was trying to sell my XYO token at IDEX.My ETH was low for gas so for 24hours I could not make a deposit so I decided to contact support .The scammer pretending to be the idex support told me to send 0.3eth to a certain address to power a bot there to unlock my waller because it was locked. My friends advised me and I was not able to be scammed.

Sometimes we come to a point that we tend to overlook some basic security measures which is why we get into this kind of situation. We know we are smart but there are times that we make stupid decisions without thinking. That is why I believe that being a little paranoid is not bad since it triggers our skepticism making us to look into things before diving in. So yeah, be vigilant and a little paranoid just to be sure. Really sucks. The lesson is be careful out there.

You must follow links here in the forum some scammers will create a fake group and honestly they are the first one to appear when you try to search in google
But why would you search on google? Go to the official site.
I am very concerned about what you are experiencing right now, if you want to invest in ICO, I suggest to follow the instructions on the website and do not buy coins through any channels because it is just trying to deceive you. so Information like this can help other forum members to avoid the same mistakes. You can never be too careful today.

I have told many people that easy money will not be available. Many people have been caught in the trap of some fraudulent organization. I advise you not to engage in anything that makes you more money, all just a scam, the Crypto market is a lot of scams. So we need to be on the lookout for scammers. Really sucks. The lesson is be careful out there.
Fraud in the ICO market is increasing every day. This market is in dire need of regulatory measures, as some investors lose huge amounts of money by trusting scammers.
make it as learning for you. Should be more careful and as much as possible not to happen again. But don't also make you become desperate. Because failure is the earlier you find a success.

Before giving advice to you, I am sorry for your incident against SCAMMER.
I hope to be more careful about Bounty Thread or ICO who does not have strong team or who does not have perfect whitepaper and website, because every SCAMMER is always everywhere.
That's why we should be cautious and spend ample of time to see if that certain project is legit or just wanting to get money from you without any returns. It could a big help also to avoid from being scammed is not to trust someone with unknown identity. I hope to be more careful about Bounty Thread or ICO who does not have strong team or who does not have perfect whitepaper and website, because every SCAMMER is always everywhere.
