For very few lucky times (CLDmine, it's funny because I was going to invest 0.01 Bitcoins in HashOcean, and after two days the page closed), but after much research and experience, sites closed, was distrustful, I advise you diversify your earnings, put your savings in many places, if one closes, you lose only a portion, and not all.

I have never been a scam victim because I usually do some background check - read people's comments online about the site before signing up for work.

since I started using Bitcoins I got three times victim of a big scam. Lost the most with ore-mine just before closing I did mine last investment and lost around €180 or something close to that. Other scam sites I was victim were skybtc and cld mine recently. Luckily enough I only deposit less then 5€ on cld mine with some doge and LTC so that didn't hurt to much.

Ive been scammed by several ponzi and hyip sites when i was a newbie but  now i learned from my mistakes and make some deep research about these things and i found out that most of them are scams which  is really a waste money.  I was also a victim of hashocean which i lost about 6BTC which is really bad and i have a hard time to move on.

I've been only scammed by ponzi site once. I really dont invest this kind of site but 1 day after I saw some of my friend invested on this site, I also invested but the next day the site is down. And after that I said to myself that I will never invest any kind of ponzi site ever again.

The only time I get scammed on the internet is when I read a thread or article that is useless and just wastes my time.

There are lots of scammers in the internet. Luckily, im not fall at their traps. Its easy to determine which are scams and not legit. Example of this are bitcoin doubler, some cloudmining sites and other hyip sites. Dont trust them. They will use such tempting offers which are too good to be true.

Yes but it's too embarrassing to go into details.

Let's just say that greed got the better of me. Never again.

Kind of, in a momentary laps of insanity. It was back when Bittorrent was new to me. I had to pay for something, and part of me thought it made sense because it was a lot of content. And then I was like, wait, and went to the bank one block away, canceled my card, and nothing else ever happened.

No, not all. I know there are only 2 ptc which still legit.
And there are many paid survey programs not scam. The most scam program is Ponzi or hyip
