How did you get scammed?

[r1s2g3]

I read lot of story of users got scammed. Despite several warning and negative feedback to scammer ,still user got scammed.

I like to know what assumption/stupidity did you did, that  get you  scammed.

For ex below are the assumption:
1. Nobody is here to scam.
2. User must be speaking truth so I should believe him.

For ex below are the stupidity:
1. I can send first to a newbie without escrow.


Sometimes there is complexity.

1. User urged it is very limited time deal (like an hour) so you are not able check facts/use escrow and get duped.


So how you get duped? I will like to learn reasons from you.

I have not actually been scammed in terms of fiat or bitcoin but I will say it is also a scam when after labouring on bounty, you don't get coin distributed to you or developers close up outfit and run off. This is scam for my thinking.

Never trust anyone who create an account and then start talking about their personal life problem and ask for loan.
Never trust a green trusted member as well and help him without securing your asset first.

I was never scammed but once I was blown away by a newbie's kindness. I helped him without any expectation but the guy kept his word that he said. Check the trust feedback I sent to that user.

I never scammed because every time I carefully in every step when I have something to deal with especially in cryptocurrency transactions.
But here is I can share you when I was almost fooled in telegram users that want me to withdraw his bitcoin on that he said exchange. He said to me that in their country he can't able to withdraw due to crypto banned. I make an account on an exchange he said and he transfers his bitcoin(3 bitcoin) to my account through my email address used. But, when I was withdrawing it, the site asking me to deposit first before I can withdraw the fund for 0.1 bitcoin. I was confused and doubted at that time, then, I contacted my friend who expert on looking legit website he concludes that the exchange I used is copycat and fake exchange.

A lesson to learned: Never been trust those in people in the telegram, a lot of scammers out there.

Have not been scammed before since I started Crypto, but the side mistake I did was at the time of BITCONNECT. That was the only aspect I know I lost my money. In which I see lots of people get scammed either on telegram, Whatsapp group and so have you. If one is security conscious and vigilant when doing online business then it's a Go win.

I can still remember those days that I was scammed by an HYIP and I wasn't still on this forum by that time. I thought that those kind of investments were the thing that bitcoin was used of.

But what's good with that experience, I've known the forum and started to search about that scam company that I've invested my few mbtcs that I've collected before. Good people and pioneers keeps on saying that every kind of that investment scheme were all scam and I'm very happy that I came here and learned a lot from them. Thankful to this community and those people who have shared their knowledge when I was still new.

Dude, I don't believe in the trust system because check the largest frauds on this forum. Were they done by newbies? All the ICOs, mining shares etc. bullcrap. Not only, some of the so called "trusted" members here sell their accounts. Check the marketplace section. Hero/Legendary accounts for sale are not hard to come by.

Not all the members are crazy in this forum bro. There are many legit DT members who are here take care the people and help the scammers away from this forum. Their efforts only making forum clean so far.
Even the account sellers are tagged here. I am not sure whom you are talking about. If you see any trusted members not behaving according to the rule you may complain to admins or top trusted members.

it's not easy to know that we have joined a scam project when at the beginning we joined. usually after undergoing a few weeks later we realize by the way they do not renew the spreadsheet or begin to be lazy to answer what is asked.
some are even smart to do a bounty first and have not run ico, after completing the bounty and seeing it is not profitable to immediately stop, with the answer not to harm certain parties with the reason that they have not done ico.

I believed you get into crypto currency when people are been warned I mean almost all crypto scammer tactics are comprehend because almost all cryptoneir are scammed back in the early 2015-2016 either through ROI investment, cloud mining, crypto MMM  etc.
I was once scam but was only through crypto MMM site.

[peter0425]

Never got scammed in this community. But I have admit that I'm gullible enough in 2017 and invest on a HYIP. And that is rude awakening, experience that I won't forgot that's why after that, I always used my common sense and never trusted anyone again.

[sheenshane]

Newbies are usually get scammed here in the forum because lack of knowledge but luckily I never encounter as a scam happened while at I'm an early age. Most likely people had scammed because I think they are greed and easily bite the bait modus operandi of scammers.
But now as what I have noticed forum had a warn like this if you are a guess so possible it will lessen from newbies come were get hacked.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Even the most skeptical, distrustful members among us have probably gotten scammed at one point.

I got scammed in 2016 when I dabbled in the lending business (never again).  TimSweat had light green trust and was a Sr. Member, so I figured I'd be alright giving him a loan of 0.3BTC with no collateral--and that wasn't a huge amount of money back in 2016.  And wouldn't you know it, the repayment date came and went and I got a bunch of excuses from him, and he finally stopped communicating.  So that's the one and only time I got burned on the forum.

From that episode, I learned a couple of things.  First, you can't rely on a person's trust score exclusively (which is what I did) when deciding whether you trust the person.  Accounts with green trust and high ranks can be bought easily, which is one of the reasons why I'm absolutely against account sales.  The second thing I learned is that you have to get collateral if you lend money.  And the third thing is that lending crypto just isn't worth the hassle, at least not for me.

[LogitechMouse]

I got scammed many times already. Many here maybe share their experience that they scammed from loans, invested in HYIP etc.

Probably many of us here experienced this already that we have been scammed as bounty hunters. We didn't get any payment after advertising their project and that is considered a scam . I have experienced it many times already and I know that many here experienced it too.

At this moment, I stopped already as a bounty hunter and I'm good enough already with my current signature campaign. I don't want to waste time already searching for bounty campaigns and in the end, I will not get paid.

[qmclak]

I got scammed many times already when i was new in crypto space😂. That's where I learn too. It's better to experienced scammed also atleast we can avoid them on future.

I was probably cheated when I was doing the bounty task, because I just joined bitcoin Forum. As a novice, I didn't know much about it, so I did a lot of bounty in one year, but I got very little return.

That's just what you can expect from Bounties. Trust me when you get scammed you know it, you feel it and it gnaws at you for a while.

For me it was just being naive when I got involved in BTC.  I trusted middlemen to much, like Paypal, I double checked with them before sending money for coins. Then big surprise I was left holding the bag, when I went in with a dispute. It's funny looking back because everything about that situation was red flags, but new and ignorant are hard handicaps to overcome.

You raised a valid point. I also dabbed on bounties in 2018, joined a few of them and got excuses after excuses for not receiving the tokens on time. Many complain and unfortunately the project suddenly disappears after weeks of work.

So that is a eye opener for me not to go bounty hunting again, useless, takes time and tokens are not worth a penny at right now.

[bL4nkcode]

Aside from too many faucets (just time though) and HYIP before, I was scammed also here, back in 2017, that was $1k from lending some sh*t. I wasn't aware of that trick, and that's the first time I observe even experience lmao. But the good thing is I get more than the amount I lost after a day from my services back there.

[bitcoin31]

My money scammed when I invested to the HYIP and we know that because that's the reason why before my money lost and Im thankful because I control my self to not invest anymore to that kind of investment. And I was scammed to the ICO and a lot of my money was lost on year 2018 after investing and waiting few months the team gone.
