I was scammed of 5 ETH. I subscribed to an ICO whitelist to join their pre-sale. On the day of the ICO, I received an email from the scammer with a fake contract address. I did not verify, I went ahead to send in the payment and released it was a scam.
So Guys carful when participating in ICO always cross with the support about their contract address
Always cross the sender of the mail.

if you are having problems with the qt of a small cap coin, never EVER, send wallet.dat to someone impersonating a team member.
I have not sent wallet.dat to anyone, but I have been approach by such scammers, when asking for bootstrap/ inquiries about chain.

I haven't experience being scammed, but I already participated in an ICO where I still don't have any idea if it succeeds or not. Yes thay gave us payment, but months passed already, still without a value. Actually, it was my first campaign!! What a bad start!  I realized I've wasted much of my time on that worthless campaign, so we all must be carefull on choosing one, not only on bitcointalk campaigns but on everything related to it. It was a lesson, such a great lesson and still I don't regret it a lot!  |

That really sucks man! The amount of scams happening needs to be addressed but the community. Can you tell us which ICO it was? Obviously education about what to look out for is pivotal upon entry to this industry! Always best to only get the address from the source of the ICO. |

lol , people who think have been scammd probably are the same people who ignore all the red flags and were shouting TO THE MOON etc.
The same thing happen with bitcoin now, people still investing to this empty worthless token because everybody will be millionaire thinks.
If you don't understand where you put your money , you are not an investor and you haven't been scammed if they get your money and run away, like bitconnect did.
I have never been a victim of scam because I invest to only serious projects, not to empty tokens like bitcoin etc.
Crypto community has to grow up and learn, if you are looking for fast easy profit and you are a lazy ass, then you will loose your money one day

Yes,i was scammed two years ago.I was actually my mistake to go forward without an escrow.I wished to buy a digital product from a forum member and he was a senior member.So,i trusted him and he promised to send me that product as soon as he receives btc in his wallet.I sent 0.03 btc at first.Immediately after receiving the btc,he just went offline.We could now see how much the value of 0.03 btc has increased today.So,never do a trade without an escrow. |

usually people are scammed by phished email, your email was out their on the internet through sites you've been like airdrop registrations.
Which is its better to separate your crypto email to your personal one.

I always advice people to go directly to ICO contribution page through the project website. I don't like following links from my email.

I'm not sure, but maybe scammed with one bounty project. It's not listed on exchages but promised to list in 5 exchanges. Hope I'm not scammed 🙏 it's not big money, but it is my time that I spent to project.

Your definitely right. This is the best way to avoid being scammed through phishing links and fake addresses found in emails. We should always take precautions for this crime is very common nowadays. |

Yes I have also invested in a scam ICO in the past. Can only blame myself for not doing the research.

I would say almost everyone on here has been scammed at some point in some way. Whether it's by directly investing in a scam or by investing on the base of false promises or being scammed by an exchange. Many here have had their issues.

Always cross the sender of the mail.
This Will serve as lesson to all communities. Email from others looks like the same but actually there are numbers or letters that not accurate. Entering to it you lose everything. I did not experienced being scammed but I'd experienced to enter my address that looks like but I didn't notice it was counterfeit. Everything I had end to nothing. Until now I'm in the moment of moving on. BE CAREFUL GUYS. |
