i don't remember how many times i've been scammed especially in the beginning time when i know bitcoin. i think i've been scammed in the investment program like hyip, double, cloud mining, because i remember when i am new person in bitcoin, i am not thinking too much about earning bitcoin and i am doing many ways so i can earn more bitcoin but in the end, i only getting loss of my bitcoin. after that bad experience, i realize that there is no short way to earn bitcoin and i am glad that i can learn from my mistakes.

Gaining knowledge here in Bitcointalk can help you a lot in understanding what Bitcoin is for, how it was created, the advantages of using it, etc. I was just scammed because of my lack of knowledge in the traders profile. I should've checked his account before making a trade, and I didn't think that's going to happen. Oh well, we all learn from our mistakes.

I have lost some of my bitcoin in 2016

[adidas]

I have lost some money with the hashocean scam in 2016. I thought they were legit as they were paying for more than one year. When they made 1 year paying online I thought this company must be legit but it wasn't so I lost all my investment.

I lost some money  between August 2014 and September 2015 in one scam_coin

[Nathan047]

Honestly, I'm yet to be scammed out of bitcoin. I generally don't get myself in a position where I could easily be scammed out of my bitcoin, although I probably just jinxed it  

Words of the wise: If a lawyer from overseas emails you saying he's got 100K for you if you only send him 100$ woth of Itunes girft cards then you should probably ignore him  

Edit: The way I posted that makes it sound like I've been scammed by an email like that; I know enough to avoid those things.

I don't think that this question is just about scams of bitcoin. I think he is meaning on scams in general, in life. Yes if you got email like that, i think only small percent of people would fall for it. But there are a lot of other ways people get scammed. There were some bank scams that was pretty complicated and organised, that most of people thought that they speak with bank representative. People will always find new way to scam other people...

Since the network is present everywhere deception, and therefore need to be careful and cautious.

Fraud has always been someone else's way of earnings. Therefore, no one will ever be sure of their safety. There are people who want it again, and someone doing this all my life.

In the summer of 2016 with the help of Bitfinex many users have lost a lot of money. Bitcoin wallets were opened, and no one returned it lost users. This is a real scam.

Actually I'm lucky enough to have never been scammed out of any money, BTC or $. Also the way I posted that makes it sound like I've been scammed by an email like that; I know enough to avoid those things.

No its misunderstanding, i didn't think you have been scammed over Email, i think you make that clear. I wanted to say that there are people who would not know that is scam and they would fall for it. I hear from friend about one attempt to scam his grandfather, over a letter. It was something like, he didn't pay for electricity or something, so that he need to pay on some bank account. But letter was fake and my friend found out about it, but if friend didn't find out i think his grandfather would pay it. Because it was small amount. For me its stupid, but i know that man, and i would not say that he is stupid. Mistakes happen.

Perhaps I have not quite mastered the network to be able to bad actions. Although I have always tormented conscience, even some thoughts. So I do not admit fraud on its part.

[Shady]

I've been scammed in a couple early phase Bitcoin development games... It was small and I ended up learning a few secrets during that time so it was well worth it.

I've seen many people get scammed on exchanges like Mt. Gox so be sure to enable routine security so that you can eventually avoid scams altogether.

[joint venture]

in bitcoin world i never get scammed and i hope i will never get it. Before i do something with my money/btc i always ask to other experience user about it, if they told me dont do that with good reason i wll follow it
