Have You Been Scammed?

[Jedzkie050617]

As of this time, I didn't experienced to be scammed which I must be vigilant always on my actions by doing such things like entering gambling sites or any sites and having a link that asking for your private code. Also, we can't control those scammers here in the cyberworld which its their way of living as there job. If scammers are clever, so you must be clever enough and be vigilant all the time to avoid scammed by them since your money is involved on this job.

So far No because im not investing money in a lot of investing company, and im carefully joining in other links or site. Im afraid that all of my money for my hardworkings will gone.

Never been scammed in my lifeliving. The reason is that I ain't coming or joining Trading or either investment. I ain't pursuing a gamble where I ain't sure that I can win. I ain't easily trusting people around me. They need to gain my trust. I'm not brave enough to do such things. I'm afraid of losing after all.

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?

i have scammed one time on my life when trying join HYIP site called " Bitlake ". at that  time, i try to invested $50 to this site. they promise a 10% profit per day of the total investment that we made to this site. a week later the site informs them that they are suddenly shutting down their services, and then they dont give me a refund... 
since then I no longer invest to hyip sites anymore

As you can see Im a new member so I have not yet experience with being scammed and I do hope I wont be scammed. Just the thought of working hard and in the end you get nothing that must be painful.

Yes I have been scammed by that high yield investment program (HYIP) but I did not regret it because I finally find the real investment with bitcoins. That thing happened to me was a big lesson to learn and because of that I have learned things on how to earn more bitcoins.

[jonosutio]

who will be going to invest for such an investment company, because all you need to invest and do a referral so that we can produce more. And here we begin to refer people without knowing this tendency. let's start with ourselves to attend what is known to us in scam investment.

[caloy06]

For me I never have been scam to use bitcoin because this is my first to join site will be earn money no invest.I'll try bitcoin to what this and to what he said to me my cousin will earn money to post only and no investment to earn money.I have no experience to been scam I'll try now to invest to my coin wallet I send Php 500 to my wallet address because the value of bitcoin is increase but till now bitcoin is increase and down.If I am scam this site of bitcoin I want try to other site to prove and earn money.

[ledinasaliasi]

Yes I have been scammed by an icon project few months ago. At that time i don't know much about ico but tried to invest in it no matter what because I was convinced there will be huge profit. In the end they took my money and disappear, that was really a valuable lesson for me, everything must be done carefully if I want to invest.

[bitcoinbox]

Yes mate, I got scammed with Cryptsy (a major altcoins exchange well known back in 2014).
A few BTC's gone and some altcoins as well. Still hurts considering how much what I lost reprensents today.

[helars2008]

Once i joined an HYIP and i know that it will end soon.
But before it can close down i had withdrawn all of my investments together with the earnings i have obtained.
After a week their site closed.
Therefore i can say that i was able to skip a near to be scammed experience.

[eann014]

Yes, I've ever been scammed but not in bitcoin. I've scammed before buying gadgets online. I don't know why I believe those liars and get my $40. I am so disappointed to myself that time. I don't know what should I need to do because I don't have extra money for our budget because that money is from my mother and I don't tell to her that I got scammed for that gadget, I just pay back her money and I told her that they can't deliver that item they've bought. I am the one who ordered that so I am the one who is responsible for that. Very disappointed to myself.

This is typical scam, you may be familiar with the one's that come in our mail box daily, saying one of our relatives have left us some money, you need to pay some money and then give contact details, and pay some advance money to release it. I was scammed by bitvigo believing they were legit, so ya this is definitely a very big scam. Avoid such kind of site's, they won't do you good and your friend I believe has lost his money.

[alisafidel58]

Yeah on my early days when i join this forum, i was a total noob about bitcoin and how it works as an investment, i saw a thread in "investor based game" and join a HYIP there, back then i didnt know that HYIP was a scam, well i invested and got scam.

[dontoromeo]

I believe that at the beginning, however much we want to be careful with this type of scams, we do not know enough to never fall. We always sin of trust.

Yes, I already experience to get scammed I think for about2 or 3 times. But it doesn't mean that I didn't learn so I experience it more than 1 yet I like to take risk and to put my money on risk because I know sometimes that I will earn good at it yet ending up being scam. But of course today I learned to be more careful to avpid being scammed again.

Yes I got scammed and honestly as of today this week I got scammed by one campaign because they didn't gave me my true earnings based on stakes but of course I didn't do anything because they say that they will give me some redtrust but of course I learned thata you must be aware on every transactions you into to avoid being scam and have earnings.

[ramayor]

I just started and I'll be more careful to avoid scammers but then all of the member I know or have I talked to, they were scammed when they were still starting. And now they learned from it but it is really hard to avoid. Sometimes you're not still aware that you are scammed.

Yes, I scammed before because of the offer they have gave you. They offer you a big return of investment when you invest a big money. So today, I make it sure and make some research before I will start investing.
