Yes I was almost scammed. There was the individual I met over a social media platform he claimed that he was to private sell a coin for me and he ask be to send him money for it and also that I should send my wallet and my private key but from knowledge I have gain. I know that no one that is legit can ask for one's private key

I have not been scammed here in bitcoin. I've advised not to give my private keys to anybody if it includes MEW passwords through airdrop forms. I think I have sufficient knowledge and vigilance to avoid the risk of scam. You should refer to some of the heroes and legends in the forum. They will be happy to guide you in detail and you will no longer worry about scam risk

We always have to pay for the lessons learned. How much money do you have? Hope it is not too expensive for a lesson. We will be more careful when making mistakes.

I almost got scammed on twitter by a fake account. Scammers are setting up fake accounts pretending to be other people/ICO's/Tokens. It's very tricky if you are not paying attention. Make sure you check spelling on all names to be correct. Be careful who you give your info to. Even if it's just your email address. Scammers will not stop scamming so watch out and pay close attention to what you are signing up for. Good Luck everyone and be safe!
I do become a victim of scam before, but most of them are from bounty campaigns, not literally scammed by doing transactions with other people, but I also experienced that before.

I've been involved in a lot of projects, which would be weird if one day I didn't come across. But everything went relatively well and I came across them.

Every day, in my email or telegram or Twitter, I run into scammers who want to "help me" whith what ever it is that they do. But on the other hand, let's be honest, all of the scammers are trying make some living, just like us, difference is that they think that we'll pay them Cheesy

I have been fooled and invested in some fraudulent projects. This has given me a lot of experience to choose better projects. Hope my experiences will help me not to be cheated again.

To date, I have only a little experience the ICO that scam. We are always interested in the ICO project with very large gifts but it's created just to cheat investors. When the fund investors accumulated and then the project cannot access or miss. And this is a valuable experience for me in following the ICO project.

Oh good thing you quickly notice the phishing sites as that's really rampant recently or else you're fucked. Fortunately, so far I didn't encounter any of these but still I'm cautious in every action that I made. Just always have a presence of mind in everything so we can at least avoid getting there.

I use this provider to trade Cryptos : Bitcoin Revolution

Yes I've been scammed several times before when I was just starting in cryptocurrency. Usually I've always been scam by hiyp or high yield investment plan wherein your investment in a particular site will give you a high profit after a short period of time. There are a lot of scam in cryptocurrency. Usually if its good to be true, its probably a scam.

Yes I have. It was an ICO project. They were in the early stages so they had airdrops and such. I received a couple and then boom all of my coins disappeared. Fortunately all I spent on that coin was nothing but some time. So I don't really care. But I should have done more research.

No, not yet. But with the rise of the numbers of scam projects one of these days I will unless I decide to stop going for ICO projects.
I could just wait for them to go on the market and buy coins if I want to invest in them. But I do like showing support so.
For an ICO, check the website first. Try discord to see if they are legit or not.

No I haven't. I'm always super catious about new ICO projects. There are a lot of scammers out there so I make sure I know what I'm supporting.
And I usually wait till market to buy and just keep all the coins from airdrop. But I see scam projects just about daily. Too many of them.

I have not been scammed yet thanks God ))) but lots of my friends who are longer in cryptocurrency world than I am, they were scammed at least once for this period of time. It is really hard sometimes to predict whether the project turns out to be a scam or not. It is really a tricky thing.

I have never been scammed but I testified the one which happened to my closest friend. it started with an email being sent to you that you have the chance to double your tokens. Do not be greedy to an extent that you will not bother to read what entails in the form. Upon hearing that he will get double of his token, he quickly copied his private key to a portion they requested for. In less than One minute, his account was empty.

I must admit that I nearly fell for one of the Twitter ETH giveaway scams that masqueraded as a Binance account. Luckily I took a closer look and realised that it was fake!
