How many times have you've been scammed?

[Darwintas]

I never been scammed because I simply do not trade or buy things from people that are not having a good feedback or not even have one these days its just so important to be on the look out.

In bitcoin world? I think just once. By cloud mining... damn I hated that. Worst experience and that too at the start of my bitcoin usage, but I learnt my lesson.

No doubt scammers are here in bitcoin world, but it is not difficult to handle them, only use your mind well and do the right work in investment. Actually, many chances of scammers are here in investment instead of trading and gambling. That's why i am not giving my amount to an other hand, because i am doing my own investment.

I got taken for some money from all these Cloud mining services, when they were still very new. I believed all the hype around the returns that I would get, and bought a lot of hashing power. I never reached ROI in any of the Cloud mining I have signed up for.

It is all funded by Ponzi type schemes, and you are just lucky when you get away from that with a bit of money.

Oh, and then I also bought some Chickens in that Chicken farm Ponzi game. It turns out, all my eggs were rotten from the start. ^grrrrr^

I have not been scammed yet, but I was made to believe by some faucet sites that they are going to give some bitcoins by just a few clicks. Good thing I did not subscribe and pay a small amount or I aould have been added to the list of those scammed. There is also a guide here on who are the bogus and untrusted sites giving different offers.

You are right, scammers are everywhere and they are waiting for the right time to scam people.  They may pretend to be honest and will get your trust and once they have it, they will scam you.  There are several red tag member here with lots of positive feedback from regular members but then was tagged by DT with scamming. How could this be possible?

I have been scammed two times, I got sad and frustrated but later on I just accept and moved on. I know, no one should blame but only myself; it's my mistakes. In first investment is a doubler site which 36 dollars was gone and followed by 1 dollar on the other site.

What are your bad experiences in bitcoin? Not just scammed by other users it could also include HYIP, Cloud mining scams, investment scams, etc. I know it's a bad thing that happened, I think it's better to share them here so you could vent out on what you are feeling.

Feel free to post anything.

so far i have only been scammed once by cryptsy when they decided to take my bitcoins and run away with it. the somewhat good news is that i only had less than 0.2BTC there before they stopped allowing withdrawals and it was stuck forever.

I could have been scammed lots of time but just because I had been into ptc sites as well before I got into bitcoin I became extra careful when it came to investing in btc hyip, cloud mining etc but still I was scammed but that's only once when I made an investment of some of my btc in a shitty doubler or btc multiplier. So I would say it's only once when I was scammed.

Lost just over 0.4 BTC at terabox, double check everything ever since!

Fortunately I haven't yet and hopefully never get it. I keep looking and research about anything before I decide to put my money in, keep clear my mind and not tempted by easy money or faster double it. However, this forum and some kinds of this discussion help us to watchful and learn from others experiences.

several of times maybe because i don't remember the exact number how many times i have been scammed and the cause is i was investing at cloud mining sites several times and most of my funds was lost because those cloud mining is fake but today i have learn that rather than investing at ponzi or HYIP sites is more better if i save my bitcoin for my ownself

[sportis]

      Early days I involved with bitcoin I carried away by the easy and big profit and I invested (ha, ha) in Ponzi and HYIP schemes. The result is known to all. Fortunately the money I lost was little to reconsider second time. The good thing is that I got my lesson. The bad is that everyday many people new to cryptocurrencies fall into the trap of scammers

Being in the bitcoin (trading) world and not be scammed I consider this man very lucky, personally I have been scammed many times but this was when I joined the bitcoin in the early stages where I trusted people and send the goods or bitcoins first.

[Nevis]

Since i started using bitcoin ive been scammed most of the time specially in HYIP's online and other people who is buying stuffs from me and vice versa.Ive been scammed around 5-10 times already and luckily its just small amounts

[buwaytress]

I haven't been scammed in bitcoins... I think if you gamble with hyip and investment schemes then you really have to expect to get scammed at some point as you are participating in blatant scams.

You do realise those schemes are scams right?

[Catlonid]

I have followed the faucet bitminer.io and I like collecting bitcoin when the money I would have taken that there were no payments that are made. whether is scam?

[Taki]

I have never scammed about bitcoin. Thanks God. But not so long time ago I had a suggestion about work from some guy, as he said his site needs girls to up site's games, but he didn't said me about the payment at all ( I asked three times minimum) and that guy just disappeared when I said I have boyfriend.

wow, that was impressive, even more than 10 times I've deceived or scammed by someone, of course because of the transaction with someone who is not in the know and also investments into scam

[Shiroslullaby]

Never.
But only because I started using Bitcoin when I was older. If I was a teenager I probably would not be so cautious.
Just remember- don't trust anyone on the internet.
