[ashfer]

So far i was never being scammed by anyone relating to btc or projects based on bitcoins.But today  i happened to get an sms related to btc on my mobile .But i did not try risking myself by opening the link that was send along in the message as i have heard few things related to the scam that has already started attaching mobile phone and things are getting hacked including the wallets were being hacked so i never open any links which come as text on my mobile as i don't wish to put myself at risk.

If you say yes, what the project was it? Why did you believe in this project?

Yes. when i was a beginner i got scam by an investment website. My friend introduce me the investment website, he tells me that i can earn profit without doing nothing just to invest and wait for a weeks or days to get profit. After a weeks the investment website is shutdown and not accesible.

[sasinghal]

No till now i didn't got scammed. May be its because i use to first go through the entire ann thread and the website of the project before joining. And if the information of the project is not given then i usually don't join them.

Unfortunately yes, I have been scammed in so many ways through couple of times and it really gave me a lot of disappointments and even thought of life as unfair. I have thought that life has been too playful that I even lost my earnings because of those scams. However, the good thing about it is that I've learned from it. I've learned to be careful next time specially if it involves money.

Its good to hear that you also learned from you past experiences. I also got scam before here, There is antime where I joined in a signature bounty campaign after almost 3 months of afvertising their coins the manager of the campaign leave us and didnt give the rewards for us. Not only there but also in investment I thought that it was only $200 to earn but as the time passed by they have more payment that need to be done and until now I didnt get any return from it.

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

Fortunately, I haven't. But I don't let my guard down. Scammers are everywhere. They might be popular on the real world but now, they are also here trying to take advantage of users. So try to learn more about something you are dealing with to avoid this kind of unfortunate events. People will try and try to take advantage of you. It will always be a matter of knowledge and familiarization here to survive. And also, well, even though I haven't been scammed, I know that some scammers will not try to hurt you or take something from you, the most common is you will not get something in return to a scam campaign. You will only lose time and effort.

[Sadnu]

Many times I've experienced a scam not just one but many times that I really care about when I'm going to campaign because there's a scam in the campaign when you're upset then you're not going to get paid. and of course the investment needs to be careful because you invest in an investment site.

haff... I was naive to invest in some projects, first project I invested by failure I did not pay attention that it was another coin different from the coin I wanted and to make worse the situation the dev disappeared and the coin fell 100% of its value that I bought , resulting in total loss of my money

i invest in another alt, this time the dev was banned from yobit chat because he was promoting his altcoin. you already know how yobit moderator is strict. the coin was deslited from yobit and fell to 1 satoshi, I bought when the coin had the price of 450 satoshi was a big disappointment... I bought many coins in yobit and I had many disappointments, if I were to comment my disappointments I think it would occupy more than 10 pages... hahahaha

what the project was it?

I will not speak the name of the coins

Why did you believe in this project?

Dude, when you're a newbie, you believe in a lot of empty promises.

[hynext]

Well, I never get scam yet on my own investment but I got plenty scammed on bounties who says they paid big in stake. So lesson learned, never a victim again.

[ellabanana]

Well, I haven't. How? Don't invest in something which is so good to be true. There are lot of ways to track a scam but then, we usually get blinded for expecting high profit. But, as an investor, we need to be wise enough. Think a lot of times before making a decision, but if you really have the courage to lose, you may take the risk, sometimes, those things that has higher risk has higher comeback of profit. So, be wise!

To be honest yes I scammed in a cloud mining site. I believed in this kind of platform to earn bitcoin because its really paying at first when you invest, but in a couple of days or weeks after I reached the minimum withdrawal I request a payment for the 3rd time pay out but sad to say its forever pending in the site til the site shutdown and I'll never get my withdrawal and my investment.

[hermada]

Luckily not yet.

[metinbay]

I think so. There was a website a few years ago. It was "cointellect". They claimed they were in cloud mining business. I got some payments but one day they stopped to pay and closed their website. I still do not know what they did. As I remember I did not lose money but I had some coin which was unpaid.

not scammed by project but by someone. well at first i know bitcoin there is a trend if someone can get profit from dice site and sell the bet set. and i am interested to buy because i  only think about win. but the trick is not work and i learn in gambling what we need is luck

I experienced scamming in faucet sites. Before, I will spent the whole night doing faucet, clicking what is required and doing what is asked just to get coins just to reach the minimum withdrawal amount requirement. And when the minimum amount is reached there will be additional requirement before I can withdraw which is often buying something from the site to continue earning free coins. You see, I started with 0 BTC balance and I am doing faucet sites because I wanted to earn bitcoin at that time. Only it turn out that I wasted my time for nothing. Life really is cruel but I believe that there is something good and best to those who persevere.

[AgentZero23]

Yes, I've been scammed by some airdrops. And one was 1katoshi site. Which you can earn free Satoshi and they didn't give my 60k satoshi earnings. Please stay away with that site it is scam.

[Kleo-kripto]

If you think that the promise to pay an aidrops is a fraud, then this is far from the case.
Not all aidrops pay their promised coins, but only 2 out of 10.
Especially do not need to trust those who ask donates for the transfer of coins. They will never send you anything. So be careful!
