Have You Been Scammed?

[eaLiTy]

I am sure everyone who started out in bitcoin had these sort of bad experience when you wanted to test out new tokens and investments and like everybody i got scammed a few times with new investment opportunities and other schemes during 2014 to 2015 because the price was going down and i did not expect the price to shoot like this,so i used to invest my coins in some of the weirdest investment opportunities to check whether it was genuine.

Yes, i am and it is equivalent to my two months salary. When that was happened to me i thought i never invest in any kind of networking company but, when i heard about bitcoin and just joining signature campaign nothing to lose money i decided to learn about it and then here i am. I fully trust bitcoin.

Bitcoin ponzi. I was pained because it was going well till I joined.

Haven't yet experienced being scammed so far. Hopefully will not experience it ever most especially in this cryptocurrency world. Let us all be mindful and watchful in every step we take. Thank you.

I just came over from the 'Investor Games' subforum (hope I got that right). A guy there said he came across a site asking to double his bitcoin, he paid in $20 and got $40 the following day or so. He then went for a higher plan of $300 hoping to cash out $600 but they asked him to pay in another $300 before cashing out. He got confused and was asking for advice.

I think I've been there before. Before I became a forum member. I once came across one of those scam sites promising to generate bitcoins. Thought it was real, but when they asked me to pay some transaction fee, I was stuck. I had no money to pay the fee. With the benefit of hindsight, I know I'd have sent them the 'transaction fee' had I had the coins to send them.

Now, what have been your experience with internet scams?
How do we help people not to get scammed?

yes, ive been scammed last year but it's just a small money. I dont get it why some people put an effort scamming people even there's many way to earn money like this bounty campaign. I hate people who wants an easy life, they're the people who will not learn and will suffer soon.

I have been scammed almost 6x when I was just starting earning online like 3 years ago in some investment networking sites they are promising huge return of investments and when you decided to reinvest again like 3x reinvestment all the way sites will be pending all payout and then turn to scam but now I learned.   

[teejaymuna]

No I have never been scammed and don't see myself falling for one

I think in the past, many of us have been scammed by some programs or by someone but if we can learn from this mistake, then we can avoid to making the same mistake in the future. there are too many interesting programs and we don't know which one is true and if we cannot find a valid info then we don't have to join. be careful before we make a decision to join in one program, make sure that we know almost all about the programs.

before i started my bitcoin as a career i have been scam by many peoples already. first hyip scheme and then some gambling site that not honest. i lose a few money. but i didnt stop trying and last i end in here which in my think was a good thing. i learn a lot of new stuff and prevent me from getting scam anymore. i learn not to trust any person with me money.

[ice098]

yes when i was a newbie here in crypto almost 0.03 btc i tried to invest in a site but until severals days that site can't be reached

Yes before when is first used bitcoin, there someone convince me to buy bitcoin, then after i gave to them my money their gone. So i learn my lesson to not trust anyone especially your money.

Haven't been scammed but I don't invest on different websites. Should always ask peers and trust your gut if something seems too good to be true.....it usually is.

ha ha  yeah im in the same boat, but we learn from our mistakes , unfortunatly.... its the nature of the beast.

[Bitcoinislifer09]

no one knows exactly where the scam and what is not, except maybe he has the 6th sense may be hehe, the point back to dirikita each, we do something we really understand and we know. my advice is more careful, because it all depends what we do as well. yes so lah I never experienced it because I myself was not careful.

No,I have not yet been scammed because when I start here in bitcoin my friend told me to not be a impulsive especially I am investing because we did not know every people here so I did not trust immediately.All we need here in bitcoin is to be careful for us to not be scammed.So we should be wise here in bitcoin.

I've been scammed once using cryptocurrency. I won't mention the company name or I think its' only owned by an individual. Although the first members earned, the newer members weren't. Their website just suddenly vanished. So be careful in joining new cryptocurrency companies. Better check the reviews in the internet first.

[shinjunobi09]

By carefully reading their background profile and doing some thorough research you can help yourself avoid getting by someone. It's like they are a great manipulator which part if their skills is tricking someone into falling to their schemes or traps which if you before you make a yes or trust you must dig deep and think carefully because after all it is your money your putting through.

[salayog01999]

I have been scammed when i was 16 years old, they said when I invest some money, they will give it to me times two of the money that I invested to them. I didn't check the background of that person and I didn't ask opinions to other people. Then I invest some of my money because I'm expecting the times two of my income but when I give it to them, they just blocked me in all communication. Even though I was scammed, I learned a lot of things like always check the background and don't forget to ask opinions to other people to avoid being scammed.

[ECE_2018]

Yes, I think its common for young people to get scammed because of lack of experience and knowledge in the internet. I've been scammed on some online games before I learned how to figure out not to be so trusting.

[Xeon201]

No, I haven't scammed but I don't want to be scammed because it was suck, We are having so much effort here to earn money then they will just get all those, it was not right. They were right I should have background check first and should have first the knowledge before taking steps.

No I don't experience it that I've been scammed but for sure that if I experience it I'm surely I will feel down, I don't know how to get up and I don't know what to do. Some of the user here are professional in scamming because they all know the process here by just communicating with you they can get all of your information and there's a possibility that you can get scammed.
