Have you been scammed? How did they approached you?

I haven't been scammed, but that is prinicpaly because I only follow investment opportunities either myself or from a trusted colleague. PM in Telegram is a prime way for people to make contacts and also Private message I have seen on this forum as well. I simply say no to every one of these unknown opportunities as I like to make my own choices.

It is very common to receive such messages in telegram. Just ignore them and report spam whenever someone approaches you. It is better to be careful than being scammed. I receive tons of messages from such scammers, never once I replied them.

I often receive some private emails from Bitcointalk. They reminded me that I can participate in some potential ICO projects. I originally believed and participated in it, but I lost an ETH.

actually I cannot differentiate between it is scam project or failed project. I felt there was something strange when reading their whitepaper. it is not as like as other projects that the requirements to engage their project is bit difficult rather than that project I participated. the first I think I can participate because it is easy. but the result is nothing, I don't get anything and It was just wasting my time and my energy.

I get messages everyday in Telegram.
Most of them approached me as investors, group admins or affiliates.

One way to detect them is that they will approach us first. And they always start with 'Hey User'.
Real investors or admins dont simply approach other people until we ask for their help first.

Yes, I have been scammed 2 months ago when someone made an interview with me to manage their help desk and solve the problems of their customers, and they asked me to download their management client, but I recognize the risk and my antivirus catch the malware.

Recently I also received a lot of messages from scammers in the telegram. When I have a few questions in the telegram group, only a few seconds later, there are a lot of scammers impersonating the admin of the project pm me and want to scam me. It's annoying for them

There a lot of unknown groups and people that will add you and pm you in telegram ang you can easily tell if he/she is a scammer because they will convince you to invest your money with them. But mostly people got scammed in bounty campaigns and ICO project, and that is one of the reason why many people started to hate ICO projects.
