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 almost scam in airdrop and telegram. Scammer just want to give you an ETH/BTC and want your private key in order to give you at that time I'm just a beginner in cryptocurrency and I just need an advise to people who are more knowledgeable than me. It will happen to every person who chooses the Airdrops because recently we have seen many scams from the Airdrops. They are just stealing the people private keys in order to steal their coins, recently we have seen eosGas person stolen a lot of money from the people. |

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

Thank you for the information, I'll be more careful. I often write scammers on Twitter / Facebook / telegram (especially often in telegram), a couple of times I almost got caught.

Its not new in this society almost of the participants and investors are getting those embarrassing scams. What if our community are made some rules to disperse all the scammers and not been getting involved in this technology itself. This is my opinion and impossible to implement.

I almost got scammed when i want to invest in ico last year, at that time most ico sold out so people want to get in ico as soon as possible. The telegram channel is very crowded and the site is down because too much traffic and some people dm me and give me the contract address, good thing i wait before sending any ether as it's the scammer eth address.

This situation happens very regularly in this market. I participated some scam projects, they took my information about email, twitter, facebook, address wallet through the form registration and confirm to claim tokens |

Yes, once. But it happened when I was not an investor. I was a bounty hunter of a project about the financial ICO. And after joining around a month and more, the Bounty Manager realized and announced that the bounty from that ICO is a scam. Everybody was scammed and we got nothing. It becomes a very important experience for me to be more careful in selecting the choice of bounty and ICO.

luckily, i don't get scammed but there are times that i almost scam. when the time that it happen my mind is not doing good. i mean, because my exam are only finish and my mind just don't move on in every test that i've done. so when i have talk to my buyer/seller i don't think about the proper way to know about if the project or your seer/buyer is scam. it is only normal in this industry. |

This is really a good advice that we should first make attention over for which site and which purpose we are going for sign-up . I am doing work in this field SINCE 2013 and I found many scammers but not get cheated by anyone , but one of mine friend get cheated by a email , where a email was from blockchain.info to turn btc into multiple times , and due to greediness he send btc but he didn't get , but when careful he saw the email that he got from blockchain was not actual from blockchain.info but that was from blockchain.lnfo ( see carefully i is replaced by small L ) . So here we need to remain attentive that wether we are going toward greediness or we are going toward the guinine things , always keep in your mind that if anyone claiming for high return in small time for your money then wake up , and block himself from that person to talk because he is not more than scammer . Here I would like to suggest everyone that keep himself safe from any type of non official website to make himself safe from any type of logger . |

scammers have tried me before to get my tokens. I received my tokens from an airdrop and announce to the team on the telegram platform that, I thank them and I have received the tokens. 2 hours later the scammer PM that he is going to help me and He is personal assistant. I never gave him attention.

Never been scammed, and I hope that doesn't ever get to happen to me or any one else. It is always sad to read stories of people who have lost their money as a result of scam, and I can help but think why people would be so wicked and heartless, to rob other people off their money. Be safe out there guys, be careful of the dealings/transactions that you have, and the people you have them with.

I often experience this on the telegram.
starting from the phone or via chat.
if you know the ICO IMVRSE project then that's where SCAMMER is for me, in telling the admin of IMVRSE and telling me to deposit money with him.

I have been scammed a few times in 2017, although not through Twitter/FB accounts. You need to be very careful while dealing in crypto. A lot of scammers and cheaters here, so the noobs need to be extra-vigilant about their wallets and investments. |

Yes, I also often experience that on Twitter. many scammers imitate one ICO username by changing a little of the letter or just adding a point so that if we are not careful and careful then we might be scammed |

I was almost almost scammed on telegram. Joined a telegram grouo for airdrop and i was told to give my wallet private key so they would sent the token to me. Because i was very new to all this then, i had to ask a friend of mine who introduced me to crypto on how to get my wallet private key cos i wanna send it. That was when he told me that its a scam, Nobody we require your private key of you to give you an airdrop. It was so SLIM!! They almost got me.

I have been a member of this forum but I have not been approached by any scammers yet. Also I think my greatest fear of being scammed here is by participating in a scam ICO which did not happen yet fortunately for me.
