I wanted to participate in the Iagon pre-sale. I joined what I thought was the official Iagon telegram. Turned out it wasn't. I followed the instructions on the pinned message, which directed me to send ETH to a specified wallet address. Turned out it was all a scam, and I lost 5 ETH.
Really sucks. The lesson is be careful out there.
whenever i read something like this it makes me wonder how long such story could exist. can't those scam understand it all comes back in the end? and there's no religious hint, it's just basic laws of energy |

That's terrible, and 5 eth is a lot.
Currently the price is down, but eth was $1000 plus dollars for quite a while and will go back up to that price.
The most common way for people to get scammed is the fake donation address.
People pretend to be a company and give a different address instead of the official one.
It can be elaborate where thy make a copy of the official website but change the url slightly.
Of it can be as simple messages popping up on social media.
As a general rule, every legitimate ico will have just one payment portal and will never ask for donations through social media.
Instead, they will direct people tot he official payment place.

wow, not a small amount, I'm sorry about what happened to you.
before you send eth do you check first? My advice is to be more careful in doing something, especially about money, so you don't regret it later.
check the team behind the project, learn about the purpose of the project and also its vision and mission.

Oh that's really a bad experience and I think everyone will also learn from it. Those scammers are not resting at anytime until they get something tangible. We should all be careful whenever we are investing in ICO and that's why the legit ICO telegram admin will never send you personal message in order to contribute. |

Sorry about your experience, we should all take this as a lesson, it is better to be safe than sorry so when participating in new coins we should make sure that all of the information that we have followed is the correct one before sending any money anywhere. I am sure that there are countless people who have fallen for this. Be careful out here guys

I think all or maybe almost all of the people here in the market industry of cryptocurrency got scammed already. You will not learn to be a good trader and hodler if you have not got scammed for me. People nowadays was making all the strategy and techniques though to suck up money from others. Scam is very normal on this now. There's any law on here though so the scam is freely perform here.

That's very sad you got scammed but one must be more cautious while buying or paying coins. Your little negligency cost you 5 ethereum its a quite big amount. One must learn a lesson from your mistakes. In future always follow the bitcoin thread do not search it with name If you did join group through bitcointalk thread there is no chance to be trapped by scammers. Always double check the address when you are paying to anyone & always do report scammed groups so that they can be blocked and won't be able to scam further anyone.

You're not the only one who got scammed here dude, and every mistake we most often take it a lesson learned. Just sad to hear that you lost 5 Ethereum. But anyway, next time you know what to do now. Just my piece of advise to you is do more research about in crypto or bitcoin, because feeding yourself a knowledge is good thing to apply. Good luck! |

Scammers are everywhere, it can be a person who will scam you, or it can even be an app. Those people who made it only want an easy money. The best thing for us to do is to think wisely inorder for us to decrease the percentage of being scammed. |

Of course it was the scam ICO campaign. In order to prevent investing in SCAM you MUST check carefully all the aspects of ICO project: team, registration, reviews and other things. |

If this is really an experience that you experience, then it's great for me. However, if the post you wrote in this thread is not an event that you experienced, it could be fatal for you. I assume this is really what you feel, therefore, be careful to believe something.

It is always sad to hear that someone was deceived by scammers, but the most annoying thing is that in each such case, the whole fault lies on the victim.  The victims are too careless and inattentive, so that the scammers just have to use it and steal money . Before contacting / forwarding money to someone, make sure that you are communicating in the official channel and talking to an official representative of a project . This simple rule will save you a lot of money .... |
