I got scammed on a phishing district0x airdrop page before. I didn't check the official URL of the project and I was so naive to share my private keys with them lol. Lesson learned though, I'm double checking everything now. Always double check everything if ever you handle your precious crypto! Scammers are just everywhere, lurking and waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

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 many times in bounty campaigns. The bounty project is getting failed and scamming all the people who invest in that project and i as a bounty hunter i wasted many times doing the work for the campaign and i did not get any tokens.

As what have you experienced , about scammed bounty ICO, I also experienced with this scammed bounty project, we can considered ourself also as victims of this fraud bount, even if we are not buying the ICO coin of this bounty ,but as a participant of the bounty we are also spending time and effort helping to promote the project but at the end we receive nothing but a lot of frustrations for this scammed bounty.

Now everybody need to be careful on people you come across most especially on social media like Facebook and telegram why because the will use some admin profile and try to tell you to invest that’s why before you invest check if it’s they main projects wallet by checking through there official websites.

Fortunately, I did not have to experience the feeling of a deceived person in crypto. I am just starting to work in cryptography. I protect my behavior very well with my caution. I try not to communicate with suspicious individuals. With the ether purse, too, extremely cautious and attentive.

Not almost but I did get scammed. It was some shady airdrop that I had to do and then I was not as well versed in cryptocurrencies like I am not and when they asked for the private key, I entered it without realizing that it was on a phishing site which meant that I had given them access to my account. Lucky for me the only coins in the account were only worth a couple of dollars

I was scammed at least 3 times. It was when I was inexperienced and poorly versed in projects. I believed people and then they lied to me and took my investments  Undecided

You are very lucky if you have just received a fraud project three times if I almost every project that I follow has the potential for fraud, my analysis is wrong or indeed my fate is out of luck because I worked on a long duration project so that there were only a few projects and could scam because the token hasn't been distributed until now.

Yes I have. This was around October of 2017 where in I participated in this so-called project's signature campaign. I had a strong feeling that there was something fishy about the project. But I went on working on the campaign which ran for two months because the manager was really entertaining. He even went in saying that the project may be a scam and that we are working at our own risk. Well in the end, it was actually a scam. Fortunately I did not cash in and all I lost was my time. Honestly, It was a fun way of learning to be vigilant in choosing and dealing with these projects.
I think, that every bounty hunter have been scammed for once in their life. Especially, if bounty hunters participated in many social media bounty. As for me, I have been scammed for several times too

I was more often affected by phishing, and I was still lucky because it had not ended up in a scammer and theft of accounts / assets. My tips is to be careful in all conditions.

On the ICO websites we can see ratings from various trackers, all with high scores. I checked on the sites, the score is really that. But can it be trusted?

I am not yet being scammed here. But one time I joined ICO. In their bounty signature campaign to be exact and then the ICO not actually reached the softcap that time so they failed and didnt follow their roadmap so they decided to cancel their ICO and they didnt pay us in return. But its okay. Its a matter of sacrifice.

Someone's using my e-mail to register with airdrop. He made a composite personality. All data except ETH wallet in it are taken from real people. Usually I try to write projects that conduct airdrop. I ask them to remove the ETH wallet of the scammer from the spread.
