I was very close to it, and only a little common sense helped me realize that I was being tricked. I was very happy and glad, because I was smarter than him.

I am not getting scammed from using their different account, but my wallet got scammed with no reasons they get my token that have a large volume of coins even though it have no value. But I heard that many hunters get scammed their wallets and also their accounts.

I think I have been involved in a scammed ICO in the past where I devote my time and energy to. It pains knowing I was scammed but one have to move on and get over the situation. I have also been hacked before loosing a whole lots of money. So I will advice all to be extra careful with their personal information so as not to get in a situation like mine.

I think if you were deceived through some messenger, then you are quite stupid and not too far-sighted person. It's hard to imagine.

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 am not completely dumb but got scammed a couple of times. There is the obvious ones like ETH giveaways on Twitter. That was done on a big scale they tried that on every project I am following on Twitter. Not sure how people fall for that. For bounties and airdrops I would like to advise not to give personal information or email away to willingly. One of the scams I feel for was someone doing airdrop on bitcointalk and then moving everything to a discord group, where he started offering masternodes for early investors. Somehow that group grew quickly he scammed I dunno 10 to 15 people and then was gone. Did not even put that much work.

Also a lot of fake admin scammers on telegram. Then there is the fake websites for ICO.

Another thing that makes it difficult is technical things like swaps from erc20 to native coins or be careful on decentralized exchanges. Etherdelta was heavily used a while ago as there was nothing else. Easy enough to enter a sale wrong by putting a 0 too much. One of my big losses was a purchase order where I switched the number of tokens I wanted to buy with the limit price. That money was just gone.

So morale here: Triple check everything and like everywhere else if sth looks too good to be true most likely it is not true.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of projects that are turning scam. People do not want to invest in ICOs, because almost no project ends their token sale with a big success. 50 percent are going scam, 40 percent are do not reach their soft cap and only 10 percent are going live on exchanges und almost every project is losing price.

There have been many fraud cases this year. These fraudsters have plagued the entire market, I hate these scammers, and I hope that ICO can change the way it is. Is there a safer way to implement ICO? Let investors avoid fraudulent projects as much as possible.

So many bounties are not paid the participants because of the lack of selling the coins and lack of investors, I've been scammed twice the project that I participated are unsuccessful.

Yes. Indeed. Scammers has many ways to scam. There are lots of scammers in the internet. To avoid being scammed be aware to it. Just like what stated above, do not share you personal information to those people who you did mot know well. There are some scam that just one click and your personal information well stolen. Always avoid some malicious notification.

I was never scammed because I will never give my credit card details to anyone regardless of who they are. I prefer to put my info in a secured website than sending my credit card details via email or personal message. I also prefer paying using PayPal because I feel it is more secured the CC transactions. ICO's that was accepting payments using PayPal are legit based on my experience.

I have almost being scammed once when I was doing some kind of airdrop, it was one of those that takes you to a phishing site that looks exactly like myetherwallet and I was asked to access my wallet. I did not think anything of it as I thought I was on the right page and I put my private key in it, luckily for me there was no coins in that wallet and I just never used it again

I am a gift hunter, and from the many projects that I have participated in, there are many projects that have deceived me, but that does not make me weak because this is indeed a risk as a gift hunter. I am sure that if we keep trying it will get a good project. calm down if our luck won't go anywhere.
