I am really interested in this topic and am writing Bachelor thesis about types of frauds on the internet. I believe it is serious problem and it is important to share your stories so others would be aware of these issues.

Please share your experience, where you faced scams, what were your losses, do you know anyone else who faced same issues?

Examples of scams:
1.) Shady Exchanges
2.) Pyramids and Ponzi Schemes
3.) ICOs
4.) Mining software with malware
5.) Emails from scammers.

I will be really thankful for your stories!
 
P.S. Please specify scam websites, token names or projects in order to bring awareness.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Yeah i have been a victim of a scam once , when i am new in the cryptocurrency. I invest in an ICO and because of my curiosity that is why i spend money through it. And eventually i wake up one morning knowing that my money is gone , my invesment is gone. Its the first time that i have been scam. In that situation i learn a lot from it. Now i never invest in any ICO unless i guaranteed myself not to be scam again.

No, Im not but Im doing my best to not encounter that thing or not to be scammed. Scammers are everywhere nowadays but we should have to be alert and be smart enough to avoid that kind of a situation.

In my opinion the most important is not to follow unknown links and go to exchanges and wallets only on reliable links. I had a situation when I went to blockchain info, and ended up on a phishing site. Bitcoins immediately left the wallet.

many times I've been victimized by a scam
Frequently victimizing conflict is, investment, bounty and signature
I just wasted my time with such things. Maybe they will change. but they probably have changed because they have a lot of money that they can afford
I see that they are not satisfied with such activities.
how are we lending to earn?
I can only say one thing
If you’ve only ever met online, you need to take extra precautions to protect yourself. Don’t let scammers take advantage of your better nature and steal your money.
Calls, emails and other approaches claiming that you have won an unexpected prize or a competition you did not enter are almost always scams.
