When i was a newbie, i get scammed a lot of times because all i know with bitcoin is to just invest it into different HYIPs or High Yield Investing Programs and also depend on the people that i am really thinking that they are good at something and follow their promotions but it all ended in negative profits so i already learned my lesson and i know what to do now.

I have been scammed once and it only happened because I received and e-mail that seemed legit.
It was an ICO which I really wanted to participate to, but, I missed the sale, and it ended quickly, the next day I got an e-mail saying that I get a second chance. Instead of a second chance I got screwed! Sad

Never buy coins of your ICOs from an e-mail notification. Always go straight to the official website and do it from there.
I learnt my lesson!

Sure I have, and I'm sure anyone with over 100 online transactions during their lifetime has been scammed at one point or another. Luckily I haven't lost that much money though, but it has made me really change the way I do business online for sure.

Scams on the Internet come in many forms,I could be phishing attempts, email hoaxes, or online selling and a lot more.But I've never been experienced so far to be scammed.

Can you share this experience?

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

When i just learned about Bitcoin earnings before, the first Bitcoin twist that i joined is investing thru Ethtrade.org site in which they use the Bitcoin platform that we will just deposit our Bitcoin to their account and wait then earned as much as 25% per month interest but later on it is too late to be found out that they are a Ponzi scheme and run our Bitcoin losing almost $4,000 btc in the process. After that i never joined investment again in which i focus on bounties and trading. Then by this experience, i start to support the regulation in order to prevent these scam ICO.

I didn't experience those kind of thing because i never join at any investment because i am too scared about that and i want a sure money if i do invest like buying lot or gold.

I do trading but investment are not because at trading, you can see on how where are you going and you can control if you got loss too much or get profit in just a single day or time.

I see that almost all investing site was scam and i know that almost 80% of the site was scam because they say that the time was longer but it is only to invite your friend to get more money or maybe they paid you for just a first time then they want to try if you just add what you get too large your money but it is only your thought because they run your money.

I've never experience in scam because im never experience in invest or trade to anyone else. I hope someday when the time comes i trade to anyone else there is somebody help me on how to prevent in scam.

Actually yes a lot of scams lately i dont know why i always joined a campaign that was just a scam. I trusted them because they are popular they reached their gard cap in just weeks but after months i dont even know that the campaign already ends because i was busy back them and when i check the project i cant find the spreadsheet and when i asked in the telegram they said that it was been deleted and why dp they need to delete it? They just scam all the bounty participants.

Actually, this is my first time in a bounty campaign. But, my friends told me that they had an experience wherein the project(forgot it) they are in is a scam. They were totally monster that time. I hope my first time won't be like that. GodBless btc.

No,but i know that this bitcoin investment are secured and i dont know that it may also create scam.
You must know then, bitcoins are not scam but there exists some people who are working on this phase to create vulnerabilities and voids so that people leave this coin. They are trying to make a bad impact on general public for bitcoins and their intentions lead them to scam people with bitcoins’ name. But the team is working hard, and we hope bitcoins never lose their secureness.

On the contrary on my situation, I haven’t been scammed since I enter this bitcoin world. Everyone needs to be enlighten and have an understanding in order for us not to experience being scammed. And I also that hope eveyone will not be scam anymore.

Yes, many times that I experienced scam.  More of us now are victims of scam, why in this world more people not contented of their lives,  they want to get what others own.  More peoe are greedy,  they go scam to others.

So far, I have not been cheated, because I only participated in one signature activity (ongoing). I have great confidence in this choice.
