Topic: Well, I just got scammed - page 5. (Read 3032 times)
Ouch that was a bad news. Sorry about your loss but be careful next time there are many scammers out there so next time try to crosscheck before any transactions
Be careful, there are lots of cheaters in the ICO market. The companies hardly ever place wallet addresses in the Telegram. You usually need to pass registration on the ICO website, and after that you are given an address in the personal account where you can invest.
Oh sorry to hear that pal. I was also scammed once because it is very difficult to identify if which ICO is scam or the legit one. After that, I thought that it was a lesson learned. I promised to myself that i will be more vigilant next time.
Brother sorry for you but better invest in projects that are on the market already . There are so many quality projects with great ideas for use case in the future . ICO is dangerous thing with scammers all around
Yes. I was cheated a lot. I did not know the rules of electronic money development. I have failed so hard, that is a valuable lesson for me. I bought the coin at a very high price but now you see it has bottomed out. Now I want to invest in something else better.
Yeah, it really is like that in this ecosystem, it seems like the far west with so many people trying to rip you off, everyone wants a piece of the cake, but instead of working honestly, they do scams to make the unwary fall, I don't blame you because anyone could get ripped off there, you just have to be much more careful next time.
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.

Really bro? Sorry to hear that and I guess, we need to be wise enough and be careful always next time so that we can avoid this. Much better if you invest only a small amount first so that you can observe the outcomed. And if you think it is legit, then that's the time you invest big amounts but make sure you can still managed your self incase you failed.
This is a very unpleasant situation. I understand you, I have lost my money more than once. But this is a really good lesson for us. It's good that now in the telegram chats in the attached message they write real data about the project team and call attention to the names of those who write to you, so as not to get caught in a scam.
Sorry man, that's a lot of money and hearing from your story its seemed to appear very legit but still you would have gotten more inquires for perfect assurance.
And it's also indeed as a lesson for others so we can take precaution.

Even in telegram their is a fake group as this scammer really spreading nowadays. So we have to be careful when having investing in Ico’s since their is a scams group of people. This is lesson for you so next time you have to be careful.
5 ETH is not a small amount of money, you should have been more careful when you want to make it double fold. well I guess your greediness has taken advantage of you. sometime we all gonna need to learn some lesson so if it happen to us in the future we know how to avoid it and not only us but some people too will gonna learn from this.
In 99 percent of cases, when you are asked to send Ethereum or other payment units of cryptocurrency to some address, it is a Scam.
There are so many phishing sites done professionally that many non -experienced users get into their trap.
This is why I always check the URL when entering to any site connected with crypto and checking the official ETH adress in Etherscan prior investing.
Today, fraudsters are becoming more sophisticated and are beginning to steal data with more sophisticated methods. But nevertheless, the really new users of cryptocurrencies are not very attentive and not very informed, Therefore, they also come across old Tricks.This is why I always check the URL when entering to any site connected with crypto and checking the official ETH adress in Etherscan prior investing.

That is quite pathetic, because that is a huge amount you lost. I saw the same telegram link too, but since i joined the real telegram channel, i knew it's a channel for scammers.Really sucks. The lesson is be careful out there.
I tried checking for the fake telegram channel, but i found out it has been deleted.
For reference and future purpose, this is the real telegram channel:

If you start to invest and any project without doing any intensive research then you deserved to be scam and this could be your best lesson towards any kind of investment so next time don't do invest just by seeing any message you can find most of the scammers by exploring the sscam accusation section of our forum.
How did you managed to move to the fake account? As for me it is obvious that all links are listed on the ICO official websites and there is no other source of truth.

This is a regrettable situation that has been encountered very often in recent times. This is especially true of the top projects that ICOs carry out, there are a lot of participants here and everyone wants to get into the whitelist, and sometimes the participants are in such a hurry that they do not thoroughly check the address where they send their money. Personally, I did not get into such situations, but my friends suffered from such actions of fraudsters.Really sucks. The lesson is be careful out there.
