Topic: Well, I just got scammed - page 16. (Read 3032 times)
Oh, man sorry to hear that. These scammers are getting ever more creative. Was it a phishing scam? I mean, was the page they sent you to the exact replica of the legit Iagon page? And how did you end up visiting the wrong twitter page in the first place? Was it via google, other social networks, advertisement, or any other way? This info could be helpful to the other forum member to avoid the same mistake. You can never be too careful these days.
its a big amount you had lost, you should be more careful when sending any amount of ethereum to a wallet. why you didn't hesitate to send that kind of amount? have you imagined what will happen next if you send that kind of amount and i think its too much for you to invest in an ICO. Or maybe you didnt research well to their project if they are good or not. You should visit their website to make it sure that their project is good.
5ETH is a considerable amount. You should ask a question, in a telegram group, visit the website and contact them from there. Even the announcement threads can offer more info. and always use the main website to access any links, such as twitter, facebook, and telegram. hopefully you learn from your mistakes.
Be concerned about the Internet is very fraudulent. Now it is a wonderful time for them to break the jackpot. You have to check it seven times, and buy a dope. Because it is not small money 5 ETH. it's more than $ 500. But now, you will send more and more time to the heart and send it to the unknown where you will not go. I do not understand you even 1 litter sent for the beginning.
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.

therefore you should be more wise in every speculation on ico investment. nowadays there are many ways people are looking for profit from imitating ico developers. this becomes an important and valuable learner to all of us in order to learn first before actually investing.
It is a pity that such a thing happened. But you are in the official telegraph group, and it is seen in the news of the top. It should not be wrong. Why is it still happening? I feel that if this is not guaranteed, then nothing can be believed.
This is really sad and it may pinch you wherever you think about this loss. Please be vigilant man join group from the official sites or announcements only. If you could have given time to go through official sites today your investment could have been safe. That's great you brought this issue on forum so that other people's can be safe. Also please inform about this incident on official site so that they will take some necessary action if they can!!
5 ETH? Damn. Why would you even take such a risk without doing proper research op? I know that you are in a bad place right now and it sucks, but this is the truth. Scammers will continue to scam people as long as they receive rewards like the amount you sent frequently which is why we need to discourage by improving our brains and not falling for these stupid traps. Do you research before sending even a small amount of money since this is your hard earned money people. Don't give scammers the pleasure which they seriously do not deserve so easily.

So sorry to hear that bro. But yeah, as you have said. Always be careful out there. This is cryptocurrency and there are so many scams right now lurking around in the market.
As long as they're novices, they're gonna keep tricking people over the Telegraph. Never send money to anyone. Admins never ask you for money through the telegramm channel and never send you the first message
That's really bad. Scammer commits his crime in many ways and we must be more careful now because of this situations. Imho, before you joining ICO or bounty, just read whitepaper carefully and hope it helps to minimize the scam.
It was very pity. So sorry to know this. Many people like you feel the same. I also have been ever scammed when joining the bounty and I work for free about 2 months. From this situation we can get the lesson from this. We can learn more carefully how to find the most legit ICOs. We must be also smarter in analyzing the ICO. So, we can minimize the scams.
5 etherum is a fairly large amount. sadly! Of course we do not know if this is fake or not. Must learn from mistakes. Telegram is full of scammers.
Learn from that mistake mate, I'm sorry for your loss so you landed to the fake Iagon telegram channel or it was their official telegram channel?
This is why if you want to invest to such ICOs better buy coins instead. 5 ETH isn't a joke for someone who's investing and wanting to grow it.
Just do day trade which is much better.

I searched for Iagon in telegram, and the fake telegram group is what came up (not the official one). It had 350+ members and seemed legit, so I thought it was the real one -- real logo, and the admin had the name and picture of the company's CEO (who is in fact active on the official telegram).
The pinned message had instructions on how to participate and I was also pm'ing with who I thought was the CEO.
I should have been more vigilant.

Real tough deal, and no amount of placatory words or cautionary ones can change that. No matter how vigilant one is, these things happen, for there is no way of verifying the facts.

This is too bad. Have you joined the telegram through the official website? Have you also encountered a phishing website? Remember this lesson. It must be noticed in the future. Before the transfer, you must confirm the correctness of the information. Lost ETH cannot be restored. This loss can only be borne by oneself Really sucks. The lesson is be careful out there.
You have to be extremely careful because fake chat groups and social media profiles are everywhere not to mention phishing websites/emails/PM's
Always double and triple check that all the details are official before you invest and also inquire with the projects team if there's anything you're unsure about

an ico scam is not only disappointing for the investors, but also for the bounty hunter. as a bounty hunter, i also have experienced it. it feels very disappointing after doing it seriously and in fact that it's a scam. and now I am more careful in choosing an ico in order that in the future i can find the legit ico to get the satisfactory results.
Really? Is this for real? Can you please post the transaction txt so that we can verify if its really real or not, But if its true then why you did not check first the legit address in the official website of IAGON before sending such huge amount? You should search first the official website and then ask how you can participate in presale not in the telegram group. Always use google search then you can find it in ico reviews like icobench then official links are posted in that site btw where did you find that telegram group??
