No, I wasn't. There are two things at the very center of every classic Ponzi scheme: an investment with (allegedly) a remarkably high return, and a story about just why the extraordinary returns can be so easily achieved. When any time of investment promises a guaranteed compounded monthly return, you can pretty much guarantee you are in trouble. So before you invest make research about the product and the company — do they seem reputable? Do they have history of success? Are they truly who they say they are?

Here are several signs you might be in a scheme:

1. You never receive any real collateral for your investment in crypto currency, just a promise that you will earn money back.

2. The guaranteed return of your investment is too good to be true.

3. You’re told a complicated yet convincing reason about why the returns are so strong.

I do not invest in any other coin than Bitcoin. I think only those people should consider alt coins who have more than $1000 to invest per month. I can just save about $500 per month for this and I think bitcoin is best. I also do not have much time left after job to track the prices of alt coins.

I've been scammed by a lot of airdrops and bounties in here. So much effort wasted. I really hope more mods get to notice scam bounties and airdrops.

You gotta be careful and look into projects for real. Many scammers out there keep it safe buddy.

Normally, is hard to find someone who have been into the bitcoin world for a long time who have not been scammed, the reason seems to be usually the same, the lack of knowledge or information or just because the project fail, looks at mtgox....

what the project was it? Why did you believe in this project?

I can't remember the name, i forget it faster , anyway was only a small amount of bitcoins that i could afford to lose

If you consider the number of programs on this forum and do a cursory survey, it won't be difficult to see that many programs are scams and the promises they make are not kept. It is clear that many programs like the 'hydro project' which was thrown into the thrash by the manager is a show that the project is out to rip people of their hard earned money, time and efforts. Some ditch their participants after being there for them only to give a flimsy excuse for why they wouldn't have you on their programme, like DETHER.  All these are ways many projects have fared badly. MIROCANA is another project to be flagged for non-compliance of original programme promises. They tell you they reserve the right to change their promises. Nobody should take any such programmes serious. They are a stench and will eventually have problems because avarice and dishonesty runs deep in their veins.
The LydiaCoin project is having issues all over the place with the Chahalal guy personally asking me to send money to his private address. All these rogues give the Crypto world a bad and undeserving name.

I am on the forum for two years already and I was scammed here by several signature campaigns, which didn't pay. With Bitcoin payments there wasn't a problem, but payments in tokens or other coins came on my wallet not every time, to say more, only two times from 5-6.

 :)No I was not !! The ffirst things happening or the scammers are we can not guaranteed any collateral for our investment in a cryptocurrency.just a promise that we will earn a lot of money and a cash back in a real but diffinately nothing .second ,a guaranteed return about your investment is too good to be true .and thirdly is you should not believed in such a situation as you are in a complicated yet convincing of people to make a reason about it and why people need to ho back to a strong human implacare .an investment with a remarkable high is a story about what extraordinary returns are really just a fear for.when is the time to invest promise in guarantee compounded every month of return you are really the most pretty much guarantee to your problems so before all when you invest who should make a research about and a company that makes the same reputation all make a successful history of success and everything should be true of what they say.I have one word too.

So far I haven't been scammed as I never invested in MLM coins, however at early stages, I lost in trading which is quite common if you are new in trading. Now I am really comfortable with crypto trading

OMG you need to be very careful

[Nerkata]

Thing is, people need to start asking themselves one simple question "Is it too good to be true"?

No one is giving out free money and due to a variety of reasons a lot of new crypto "traders" are chasing fast money and are very prone to get rich quick schemes.

Fortunately for me, I haven't been scammed. There are two reasons that I think of. First, is because I am still a newbie who doesn't have that much of a bitcoin. Second, I don't have bitcoin investment that may've been scammed. Since I am just a student, I don't have a source of money that I can invest. So currently, I am joining campaigns to earn some bitcoins.
