Have you been scammed BTC? What will you do if your bitcoin get scammed?

[Successmaniac4]

When you have never been scammed before and people share their experience, it sounds like a story. I was scammed for $100BTC. I was new to crypto and I received a mail that I have won $200 BTC. But to claim my reward, I need to send some money first. The mistake I made was that I didn't consult anyone about this matter and did whatever I wanted. I now regret taking that decision, but I have learnt my lesson the hard way.

A few years ago when I got into crypto I also started investing in HYIP using crypto because it was a faster and more secure way to deposit and withdraw money. I've lost dozens of money but I'm not sure if I can call this being scammed since I knew what are the risks by investing in this kind of projects but still my money were stolen meaning I got scammed.

I've never been scammed in my entire life... -snipped-

You are one of the very few who can say they havent been scammed even out of money from those phone schemes. As alot of people have been out of their hard earned money to these fraudsters over the phone.
Because even people who first got into crypto can remember seeing those hyip sites and probably put in a couple of satoshis to see if they paid out at the end of the week. This would also be considered getting scammed because they always collapse at the end.

If you tell that to a police officer the first thing he will ask is do you have any bank account information proof that you have to send him money and I do not think they will believe on blockchain transactions. Anyway, I also lost 0.016 btc back at 2013 on the Facebook group when I was just starting with Bitcoin. Facebook groups are full of scammers and especially if you are not careful they are going to treat you like bait.

People get scammed in scam bounties all the time. Don't forget that stealing peoples time and with lies and false work is not just stealing just dishonest and despicable even more so then a plain thief.
I think having time stolen is the worst theft. So I would say I have been scammed out of my time. I have learnt what to avoid but sometimes these scams are set up so well or they project just gives up.
You never hear from them again and all the coins you hoarded are now worth nothing, a legit project you could easily see holding as the right thing to do.

Have you ever been scammed? And what will you do if your bitcoin get scammed?

Few years ago, it seemed to be the beginning of 2013, I did not remember clearly, I've ever been scammed for nearly 20 BTC, I funded a gambling site, my account got frozen without any reason few hours after I funded.

I could do nothing except crying.

In the year 2016 I remembered getting scammed in btc worth of 0.8btc on a pyramid scheme platform and that platform was the one that introduced me to bitcoin cos I never knew what bitcoin was ,after I lost the btc I start seeking for info about what btc was ,I don't bother looking for way to recover my btc ,its gone for good

I was cheated once at the beginning of my work at bitcoin I was working on a site and asked me to deposit an amount I could not withdraw and when I made a deposit I could not withdraw my deposit

That is a classic scam. Then they keep the new deposit as well. Or they ask for your ID lol Such serious authority for a few $ xP

I was scammed when eth first started I opened a wallet on a site I didn't know I should have used mew and didn't even know what it was. Eth just came out and I opened one wallet on a website and you know you don't remember where you opened a wallet exactly, you just remember the address you look a the address so in the bounty form I added that address. Anyway, the pay was a  lot and I lost a few thousand $$$ I cried.
How can people do this to someone? Feels like decent people don't exist.

That's the worst thing you've done crying without doing anything, you should have gone to the authorities so they can trace who are the owners of this gambling site, you did not even mention the name of the gambling site if it is still online or ceases operation, but 20 Bitcoin is such a huge amount if this happens to me I don't think I would get over it.
