This is certainly not funny at all, but lately I have been exposed to a very large number of scam projects, which today in most cases are really similar to normal projects that have been on the market before.

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!
Yes i have been scammed mostly in ICO's today i was really mad that i always joined in scammed ICO's and sometimes i only get few rewards because they do not achieved the hardcap. Unlike last year, i always earned good rewards from the past ICO's that i have joined that is why i am hoping that ICO's will be great again.

I have been scammed many times by many different people. A lot of these instances occurred during my early days here. I was not that knowledgeable about the various scams and ponzi schemes and lost quite a lot of money in them.

I think many people in this forum have been scammed in the past, this is a bad experience but it can make us having new knowledge about a scam. And it will help us in identifying the project in the future. You're right, we need to very careful in giving any pieces of information about our data to anyone.

Scammers often write me offering to buy my rewards. They find telegram addresses in the bounty tables. High-quality ICO projects Now in the tables do not ask to specify the address of your telegrams, and hide the data at the address of your Ethereum wallet. This is the right decision

it was high time they concealed the data and offered those forms of acceptance which excluded fraud! I'm always sorry when managers pay tokens to those who have just stolen other people's content.

Scammers now so dodgy that it is difficult to imagine. I personally shy away from them by completely ignoring the messages of all unfamiliar contacts.

In the world of cryptocurrency, scammers may be one of the things that everyone is afraid of. And before doing anything, of course, you have to check it out because now scammers are also smart to cheat everyone. Be careful and don't easily trust others because they are not necessarily good people.

The only incidents with fraudsters I have is plagiarism. I wrote several articles on cryptocurrency and ICO, which many then tried to pass off as their own and make money from it. Scammers will always be there, just don't let them fool yourself.

Yes, one time I didn’t receive my airdrop coin on kucoin exchange, so I tried to contact Kucoin exchange telegram group, someone in the telegram group pretended to be kucoin admin, and contacted me there and said would help me, then he DM me said that my airdrop wallet address need to be activated. If I send small amount ether to an address that he give, then the airdrop coin wallet will be activate and is able to receive my coins. Lucky I wasn’t trust him and I reported also him to kucoin exchange, he was immediately be removed.

Safety first, you should always be careful. Fraudsters were, are and will be. They are very predictable and come up with new traps. Personally, I receive emails every day with links to phishing sites. I immediately send such a letter to spam.

I have never been fooled into investing in an ICO. Because I do not participate much in the ICO. But I nearly lost my ETH wallet address by a fraudulent email. Fortunately I have found out.

It is always worth remembering that free cheese, only in a mousetrap. Do not believe people who offer you any very favorable conditions for anything. There's always a Scam behind this.

Right, we have to be more observant, because they are targeting all their targets, so the advice I examine the account by reading spelling correctly usually their names use names of important people with similar but different spellings.

I've actually never been scammed in the crypto space, only when buying pot haha But on discord i get messages 10 times a day asking for help to withdraw btc.. They offer me 0.1 btc for the help, how generous!
I am very carefull though, getting scammed is not an option so i never respond to any users i don't know or use websites / apps that could be unsafe. Oh I actually lost some cash invested 100 dollar in bitconnect but I think i made profit prior to loosing what was left in the acc. But I knew all along it would close down as soon as the market corrected so i wouldn't regard it as being scammed!

Peace

The only experience I can recall is coinsmarkets, where the people were scammed as the exchange ran away with people's money. I personally lost around 0.8 BTC on that website and I do not recommend it to anyone. I wish I had withdrawn it from the exchange before it got all crazy.
Tough luck, cannot do anything but regret.
