i am not a big time player in the bitcoin echo system and i am not that greedy to earn more coins in a short time and so i have not being scammed or the best phrase would be i have not let others to scam me.

Same here! ^^ I'm no big time gal in any sense. I've never taken a chance with my hard-earned money and invested it on some "sure thing"/"double-triple" anything.
In fact, whenever I hear those words, I run the other way, fast.

Whenever I do a trade, or buy something, or pay for a service, I always double/triple/10x check everything.
I don't really get people who ignore all "warning signs" and go ahead with shady/unrealistic things. It's not as if those things haven't happened hundreds, if not thousands of times on here before.

But well, as they say, there's always a first time.

Only once. I was so pissed with myself after, because it was so obvious to me. A guy on Steam added me and wanted to buy my inventory for 1.5 btc. It was 3 AM so naturally in my sleepy state, I was extremely compliant.

He asked me to send one thing of value before he sent me the Bitcoin, so I said I would after he signed a message. He replied with a response somewhere along the lines of "Stop wasting my time", which scared me, as this was an offer too good to pass down. So I sent him the item, worth nearly 0.15 BTC. Bad idea. Almost instantly, he unfriended and blocked me, then made his account private.

I'm sorry man, I didn't know someone is willing to scam in Steam. You should've made a feedback that he is s scammer. I think it's very hard to be scammed now in Steam because of the security features right?

That is not education my friends ,i call it ignorance if someone scammed you it is solely your foolish decision to trust somebody online with your money i do not believe virtual friends and investments and so i wont get scammed that easily

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.

I would be interesting to know how many people have been scammed by winspiral...
relative to the red trusts he should have scammed many people...
Or not?

So far i see none scammed by him here...

People will scam anything, even in steam. In any game, scammers will scam anything that somewhat has value even when it has little value.

Scammers usually have the attitude to 'not waste their time' and they act as if they're in a hurry. Just so you wouldn't have that much time to think of the situation and you'll send your item first. I don't do deals when I'm sleepy because my mind is not in its best capabilities and I know that I might do something that I would regret once my mind is back to normal.

I never been scammed and I really love the fact that I never have been because it really would make me up sad.
Always keep your bitcoin in a safe offline wallet people.

well you're lucky dude, you must be really grateful that you have never been scammed by some fake investments. for some people including me, we have been scammed by few fake investments and we have been very disappointed and frustrated by the outcome but still these experience made us better and wiser when it comes to that case.

It is good for you that now you have places from where you can see or you have already seen the things that what can be scams but when i was new in bitcoin that time i was not involved in any forum like this where i could get such knowledge so i could not know anything like this which as a result made get scammed quite a lot of times.

I guess that you are young and never tried anything else in online world, only bitcoin.
If you tried different Revshare buss. opportunities, HYIP, trading, casinos etc. I'm sure you will have different experience.
You are right, Bitcoin is the best so you don't need anything else, really.

I was once when i invested my bitcoins in gambling....  Dude....  Coin suddenly flipped that day... . 

[BossMacko]

Well in Bitcoin i never got scammed because i do not go first everytime i have a deal. If the other side does not approve then deal is cancel. I don't take risk because in the past i always get scammed by people in Online Games when i was buying something on it. But in Bitcoin as i said i am very careful trading with someone.

[Ewinsane]

i never get scam because i never invest my bitcoin in fake project or fake exchange i just bought bitcoin secure exchange and i think that yobit and localbitcoin these exchange is very much popular and secure and no one get a scam with these exchange.

[coolcoinz]

Never, but that may be due to the fact that I'm almost never trading with unknown people. I'm usually very suspicious of people who offer me money or want money from me. I never keep my coins in an exchange, I have backups of my wallets and I'm never emotional when it comes to business.
Be careful when dealing with people, money corrupt.

I have been scammed by many users many times because I had been so gentle to all of them and whenever they asked for some loans as a help, I gave them and they never returned them back. I could have easily given away more than 2 bitcoins in just loans, and even few were my friends.

Sorry for your loss dude, but I think when it comes to loans with bitcoin we must follow the rule the is in the lending forum if there is no collateral then no loan is given since you are exposing yourself to be scammed.

There's no safe in lending here since the collateral is just an account and it has no monetary value outside bitcoin and even if you sell that accounts it is not advisable here. I don't know if there are still a good collateral aside from what is used to here, or else you will not have to do this kind of business.

Many lenders are not accepting bitcoin accounts as collateral anymore since the value of those accounts has been dropping and they do not like the idea of selling accounts to other users since they could use those accounts to scam people so now most collaterals are other altcoins and stuff like that.

[Wowcoin]

I can not count and i can not remember that how many times i been scammed. When the time i entered in bitcoin since 2014 that many scammer in bitcoin. So i dont know how many there are many scammer so be careful dont trust anyone.

[len01]

I am very unlucky in this case as I have been scammed a lots of time but I have learnt every time a new lesson so I dont really mind it

[YashBitCoin]

I've lost bitcoin to some individual people, about once or twice,who took advantage of my trust but never from the official sites. I see it as a positive thing that made me see the true nature of some people. No matter how nice someone might seem on face-value, you can never trust them with your money

[energycr]

I can proudfully say none. Because I am careful with where I put my bitcoins and don't share a computer at home or at work.
That is to do with bitcoin but in the real world anyone can be a victim quite as easily as taking a phone call from a scammer.
