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

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.

Since the bitcoin transactions are irreversible, unless you got the identity of the person who scammed you, nothing much you can do. Even if you have his/her identity, you should be able to prove that you are scammed by that person. Yes, it usually ends up bad.

Try to explain your situation to the police they'll look at you as they see an alien.

Uhm no. Actually, I've been scammed once for $50 BTC, but I doxed the guy, found out he was on a forum (I was member of that forum as well), exposed him as a scammer and destroyed his reputation, then he decided to pay me back. The guy was literally desperate.

Yeah, I got scammed last year by some asshole who thought he needed the money more than I did.  Not much I could do about it, and I ought to have known better than to give a no-collateral loan to someone on this forum.  Ooops.

I learned my lesson and haven't lent anyone money since.  'Twas an expensive lesson, but it could have been much worse.

Last year, one of the dishonest stole 0.2 bitcoin from me. i have never seen him again

Yes I had been scammed, by cloud mining, by ponzi and by people, that is why I never trust cloud mining, ponzi and be really careful to do transaction with stranger, there is not much you can do, just learn from mistake and accept that my bitcoin is gone forever since bitcoin is not legal and it is hard to tracked the scammer identity

[Iranus]

I've never been scammed, just because I'm very wary with all transactions (although I appreciate that that isn't always enough).

It sounds weird, but while you're more likely to get scammed with Bitcoin, you're so much better off if you are that it doesn't matter.  With fiat, if you get scammed the chances are the scammer has your personal information, possibly even your credit card details, and who knows what they're going to do with that.  With Bitcoin, if you get scammed, it's just:  your money's gone.  That's a shame.  Time to make some more.

I have been cheated, everything happened just because of greediness to earn more. Later on realized the drawback of being greedy. I lost more than a single bitcoin investing into worthless schemes believing that it gives good return. Even if the profiting is low it's good to find the legitimate investment site and then invest.

[QuestionAuthority]

The same thing everyone on this forum does when they get scammed.

Piss and moan like an impotent jerk all over the forum while simultaneously calling every government agency I can think of to ask for help getting back my anti-government unregulated money.

I think majority of the users here got scammed bitcoin before. When I was starting bitcoin, i got scammed a few times. What did I do? Move on! I learned from my mistakes. Before I enter into a new investments, I conduct a thorough research to avoid being scam. I also ask some members of the investment sites about their first hand experience on it.

If you have been scammed, just grit your teeth and move on.
In the Bitcoin world, the wisest thing to do is avoid risky investments. Recovery will almost always be next to nothing.

Yes almost all bitcoins users do experienced scammed bitcoins and people or site scamming them.You cannot do anything if your bitcoins was scammed,once you sent it to the scammer or to the site all you can do is cry and accept what you have done.Bitcoins is not like paypal that transaction can be revise and refunded,bitcoin transactions is unstopable

I'm happy to say that I was never scammed since I joined the Bitcoin Community, because the friend who introduced me bitcoin told me to be very vigilant and not to believe when someone offer's something like making your money double in just a week. But if that will happen to me then I'll take it as a lesson to never trust your money to anyone.

[Sadlife]

Getting scammed in bitcoin happens a lot, i might as well say everybody who started to learn bitcoin got scammed as well at some point.
I got scammed several times as well in these sites that's so called cloud mining
They're nothing but ponzi schemes and with bitcoin anonymous feature there is nothing much i could do to take back my money.

I experience being scammed in some double your BTC site in 24-48 hours. I got influence by those people in facebook posting about being paid after 24 hours. Then I invested 0.02btc from all of my earnings. Then After i invested few hours, It becomes scam! the site just gone like a bubble. I regretted and I'm so frustrated because that was only earnings for almost 3 months that time, I only earned from faucet sites that day, ( I didn't know this forum yet) But that was a lesson for me now for easily trusting sites like that.

[OliynyK]

It looked like everyone got scammed when they were new to the new technology and like everyone even i was scammed believing a double site because whenever i sent them a small amount they used to return within the specified time and when it deposited 0.5 btc they never bothered to return back and these all happened in 2015 and that was a good lesson.

As of now I  didn't experienced to get scammed by other people or gambling sites. But what if I get scammed? Probably I'll get very mad and at the same time I get bored or I will feel I like to get all my capital because if you work hard to earn such amount of bitcoin and then in just one snap all of your earnings are gone because you've been scammed. I will report it to a authorize person and I will get help to those people who is responsible. Nothing will happen if you didn't act and just sit there crying and begging. You need to move and act so that your bitcoin will get back.

Yes I have been scammed cloud mining site the hashocean I deposited 0.065 btc I thought it would be last forever. I haven't received my profit yet on hashocean and also I lost my bitcoins in wallet when I clicked a phishing site at first I didn't knew it was a phishing site so I've entered my details on that site and hours later when I've checked the wallet it was all gone.

so, I've learned my lesson never trust everyone in facebook groups

[Schuyler]

Lucky for me that I have not been tempted into investing in these high yield investment programs because I have been doing a lot of reading about the complaints and regrets of those who have become victims of scams. I do not need to learn from my own experience as the experience of others is enough for me to shy away from these scams. I just try to patiently hold my bitcoins and accumulate as much as I can.

I have been scammed many times but I did not lost an amount which is as big as yours. I have been scammed three times first was by perfect hash then it was followed MCOUB and then the last time was hashocean a fake mining site. When I was scammed all I can do is to find other ways to earn bitcoin so at least I can get back what I lost. And so I succeeded and I won back through other means the amount of btc lost and with that effort I did not stop earning until now.
