Getting scammed can be very painful, you even tell yourself 'why didn't i listen to my inner voice' but i guess it's part of lessons we learn in life to be more careful next time.

True, feels really bad to lose money getting tricked... And that's the point, most of us has been scammed in the past and day by day more people get scammed too... So, for most of us, the only thing to do was to take it as a lesson.

With this thread i'm not trying to laugh about the people who get scammed, I'm on that side too. The point it to learn how to let it go because life keeps going.

To believe that most people do experience that scam thing specially when they had just started up to learn everything in crypto space.Just like me when i get involved into crypto where i do initially hooked up by Ponzi/HYIP
investments where i do believe that making money is easy and do even believe that i would be hella of a rich guy in no time but in the end it did really just make the situation even more worst.

Its not really necessary for you to be scammed before you do able to learn but there are instances which cant really be avoided since we are just human anyways where mistakes would be likely.
Some do able to avoid scams by just reading others experiences which is good but for those people who are lazy to read up then expect that sooner or later they would really be fall into the trap.

What to do if you get scammed? We should moved on and learn from it because in next time you will be more wiser or smarter against up these things.

There is a Jamiroquai song to play if you get scammed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFUYxXgSmr4

Bitcoin is not paypal... transactions are not reversible, once the transaction is confirmed your coins are gone.

Same with other altcoins.

So, if you get scammed, play that song, is the best thing to do. As i always say, bitcoin leassons arent chep at all.

The music beat was funny at the beginning because of the beat. But at the end, I see if you got scammed and you listen to this, you will actually make jest of your self and dance to the music at last.

It is the worst thing ever can be happened to anyone. I have been there and it is frustrating indeed. As these transactions are irreversible, we can do nothing here. Engaging with you hobbies can help you forget that. If one thing I am asked to suggest to any person who got scammed recently, I would suggest to go on a dinner outside. Delicious food is something that can release you from mental pain.(Been there, experienced that!) I mean what more you could lose as you already lost something, right? A dinner would cost you probably more $50-100. Nothing else.

Make sure you are educated about blockchain technology in order to any kind of scam. You must put your greed aside, of course!

The song is great. Definitely makes you feel better if there's anything that can have this effect on someone who just lost his savings.
I've never been scammed but i came pretty close to it when an exchange I've been using went bust and later bailed scamming customers. They had a little period when they were deciding what to do and allowed people to withdraw, acting like nothing had happened. I used that time to take my money off the platform.
What would I do? Probably report it to the police and try to make as much fuss in the Internet as I could.

Getting scammed is something that happened in a regular basis but victims has the only option to accept being scrammed because nothing has to be done about confirmed transactions, its gone for ever.

What do you mean by scammed in a regular basis? are you doing your mistakes purposely? lol

Quote from: Lordhermes on August 09, 2020, 04:37:21 AM

Getting scammed is just a matter of taking next steps in achieving new goals, although listening to music will simply digest the anger, as will result to many devastating issues in the environment.

There have been studies that music helps our brain to set the mood, so I guess it is better to listen to music rather than just thinking about it all day, but it must be a proper music, relaxing or upbeat. You don't wanna hear crying in the background coz you'll just remember it for bad. And also give yourself a space to think what could be done next in order to avoid doing the same mistake, a well lit surrounding or green place to spend your time.

Getting scammed will make those victims be more wary of such schemes or in short it is called "lesson learned". Better be knowledgeable rather than clueless and will get scammed many times especially scammers tend to find a hole just to scam bitcoins from their victims.

When it comes to crypto currencies, you need to be more careful as you know that once a transfer is made, it cannot be reversed or recalled. In case of paypal or banking transactions you always have the option to contact the authority and resolve any disputes but in bitcoin there is no such functionality.

what to do after being scammed might reflect on what just happened. a question will arise, why are we hit by scammer traps.

this will be a lesson that will not be repeated a second time.
don't fall into the same hole.

then sing and enjoy life without any burden.

After getting the lesson, just forget about the loss. If you keep the loss in your mind, you will remain tense for next few days. No matter how big the loss is, the time will heal the loss. There is no point to cry on it as the time wont come back and you will not be able to undo the mistake which made you loss your money.

The only thing that you can do when you get scammed is to make it as a lesson for you, so you wont do it again. Learn from your mistakes, never fall to anyone if money is involve.

The wisest people on this forum are those who got scam one time or another, they know what to trust and who to trust and they know and fully aware that Bitcoin is not reversible and it works on trust so if you got scam that means your fail to do a research and you trust the person or the project, so check how you trust people and project.

If you got scammed just simply take it as lesson and make sure that you won't experience it once again. But before that you should take an act make a discussion about it so that everyone should never experience what once you have gone through.

Btw I like the song Cheesy

it was kinda fun to listen with, however, I doubt you will felt good hearing it after you get scammed. Cheesy

That song will add more damage to the pain that you're experiencing after you get scammed Cheesy

, Just like they say mistakes are the best teacher in your life, some need to learn it the hard way so you will not do it again, although it's painful to be scammed and nobody deserves it better move on and learn from it.

Better listen to this song too Cheesy

Hello Boss, pardon me. I believe we all have different ways in relieving stress.

Don't stress yourself, I'm not saying your post wasn't a quality one or not, I'm just responding to the qouted world and also we're free to reason differently and that's ok. If you see a thought from me that you don't agree on, feel free to contradict it and we have a debate on the matter, that's how we grow together as a community.

Quote from: jademaxsuy on August 08, 2020, 01:54:06 AM

LOL, This is my first time seeing boss getting a bullshit word from his replies knowing that the OP's post is really not that helpful but instead it is all about bullying the victims of scam.

Don't misunderstand my statement, I'm not judging anyone's content with my reply, as we're free to have our own reasoning. The judging thing will be done on Sunday when I'm counting my participants posts for the week. For now I'm just a regular forum user contributing to a discussion of my interested. The bullshit was for the quoted word and not the OP.

The song is very entertaining. It can somehow make you able to feel some relief from stress cause by being scammed or maybe other things that are stressful.

That's bullshit, if you even get scammed, the only relief you should give to yourself is improving on your security precautions to avoid similar experience from occuring again because if it doesn't happen (again) then you're not ready to progress in this space. Using films, music or other activities will just make you weak, for the moment it'll relief you but that experience will hurt you for left.

But when you realize the experience bettered your life and probably will be saving you from making similar mistakes in the future, only then will you get true relief. You could make it more benefiting to others too like I highlighted in my previous reply.

Hello Boss, pardon me. I believe we all have different ways in relieving stress. Songs may not be that helpful for some people upon coping with stress, but for others, listening to a song, or singing a song "somehow" helps and gaves them some sort of relieve.

Yes boss, it might not have huge impact, but it might help him, like me, to experience relief, because some people find peace from something that makes them happy or/and from something that makes them calm.
From that peace, he might realize things that should be and shouldn't be done. Helping them to be more careful next time. He accepted his fault, learned, moved on, and ready to continue on his journey.

Thank you for the advice Boss.😊

The song does not really helpful when one is getting scam especially if it involves huge amount. Well probably OP is a scammer and this is why he is happy when there will be many victims of this scam activities for instead he will be a help for them, he just make laugh by the song he wanted to hear on the scam victims.
