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

[ufaiz50]

I been scammed through HYIP sites I was just try because I think it's easy when  first try them still pay when the second I deposit more the site don't pay even though it includes a new website. then I can only laugh at my stupid behavior.

[Astvile]

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

Yeah me too when i first dont know how high yield investment programs and ponzi schemes are working.I have been scammed many times by this kind of investments and never tried it again.I said to my self that i will never ever joing ponzis again for me to not be scammed anymore

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 got scammed by one guy which worth of 0.02 btc around in LBC trade. You could have checked in account and I have a sent a negative to his account. It happened more than a year before i guess. Please always aware of newbies while you involves in any trade.
Try to use escrow in all your trade and you would not get scammed.

To make safe your money in trading someone find trusted escrow much better to pay service fee than you get scammed.
Me i experience scammed in mining sites i have invest for 3 times in mining site at first i get their payment but in the long run your investment will no longer return it to you.

[RoommateAgreement]

the only time i can say i was "scammed" is when i invest in an altcoin and the manipulators dump it and i lose money. and that is only because no amount of research or analysis can predict their dumping.

other times i always do extensive research before doing anything and this is not just bitcoin related, so no i have no other cases fortunately.

i have also been scammed with HYIP, but very few amount of bitcoin, 0.2, 0.1, nothing too drastic, i was just trying and hope to use the profit from the website to keep my investment running

but they run away very fast these day, not like the old day where bitcoin was at 200 and they give you some time, when you invest big, before steal your money

now thye run away evne if you invest small amount, better to leave all the HYIP behind, mining is more profitable and legit

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.

Most of us here already experienced it. Not only scam in investment  site  but even trying to trade  it peer to peer that's why we need to be wise enough to protect our money from those scammer just want to have easy money.

Trading peer to peer? Did you mean somewhere like localbitcoins?

I think everyone who have invested in Hyips and those pyramid ponzi schemes have got scammed in the past and will get scammed in the future. I used to try and oversmart those sites by investing early and cashout before they go scam. But it was not succesfull all the time. Hyips are made to scam people.

[aakashsangwan]

I got scammed twice, first I was scammed 0.7btc a few years ago on a HYIP site(my greediness) and the second time I was scammed 0.05btc on a bitcoin forum for a gift card.

[Kprawn]

I have been scammed by a jewellery site, where they claimed the ornament was made from 24 carat gold and then it turned out that the thing

was gold plated and not solid gold. I paid the guy and they stalled the delivery until they moved the bitcoin to another address through a mixer

services and then they closed the site. It was very expensive and I lost a bunch of money on that...  but I learned a valuable lesson from this. I

will not make a mistake like that again.

Thanks guys, I've learned a lot from your replies.

Not that much since even Im a newbie back then, I have mind stating that there's no easy money. The amount scammed from me is not a decent one to consider and just want to try some risk to see how the system "there" is going on since lots of positive review are being brought up.

In real world, I have also some scammed experienced although again not that much. I just want to test some company back and see how it will goes but in the end, their journey become a wrecked one.

I think it's hard to find people on this forum, who weren't been scammed at least once time.
I have been scammed several times, but my losses weren't big.
When I was unexperienced, I invested in some HYIP's even knowing about risk to be scammed. I lost some money, but my investments was small and my losses wasn't big.
Also, I joined some faucets which didn't paid after reaching paymen treshold. Yes, there was only few hundred thousand satoshi in total, but I more regret my time, wasted on these scam faucets.
I'm happy that I haven't been scammed for big amount of bitcoins and I hope to never experience it.

i have been scammed by Vaultmex exchange, the money is in the exchange but they have locked my account because I wrote on twitter and discord that they are scammers etc, alot of ppl are affected.
is there a way to get back my money? i have the transaction id and i can still access the exchange and see the money in the wallet, however I cannot withdraw it. is there a way to withdraw this money from this scamming exchange?

[BossMacko]

Never in my years in crypto world that someone was successfully scammed me. Many tried but they failed because never in my life i would go first in my trades. Specially on mrai days where in there is no exchange yet only peer to peer trade.

[pooya87]

i don't think the number of people who have not been scammed ever in this world is that many unless they have never used exchanges in their life. all the exchanges that i have used and there are many, have scammed their users or at the very least have gotten hacked and i have lost bitcoin in some of them because no matter how careful you are and how short you keep your coins there, there will be a time when they catch you and scam you!

Wow...20 Bitcoin is now worth a lot of money. Had you just hold it without thinking about it then it would have been so good to harvest it now (that is if you had failed to sell it in 2017). The feeling of being victimized by a scam is something that is hard to explain...you can get angry with yourself for falling such a scheme and you can also feel pity that you lost something valuable in our quest to earn more money. I am sure that your Bitcoin is hard-earned so accepting the whole charade can be difficult but life has to move on. I was scammed too with revenue sharing programs before -- I think that was in 2017 when revshares were all so popular. I can only count a few of my friends who are not victims of scams...be it using the fiat money or cryptocurrency. Sadly, there is really nothing we can do about it except moving on and not stopping in looking for ways to increase our worth.

[Pattart]

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.

I've also experienced this, a few years ago, when I focused on the loan fund business. most of them offer their account to be collateral. Stupid I'm, I did not check first on their loan history. because he owed me several times, after he gained trust, then he borrowed large funds, because he paid on time and smoothly, I lent him.

Apparently he had loan from many people with that one account. I tried to contact him on Facebook, but he argued that his account was hacked, there was nothing I could do after that

[Question123]

My bitcoin was scammed when I invested before in the HYIP investment and almost of my bitcoin got lost because of that so Idecided to stop. But in the gambling site I do not scammed and frozen my account since I played because all my gambling site that I play is all legit but they have scenario that they have gambling site who are scammed players by freezing their acccount.
