I always think that bitconnect scam was the biggest in crypto space until i heard about one coin, a Ponzi scheme that defraud investors approximately $4 billion around the globe and one coin ceo have been missing since 2017, we really need to be very careful where w invest our hard earned cash, when a offer is too good to be true there is always more that met the eye

I remember people calling one coin the bitcoin killer, lol 😆 oh i hate centralized coins, the fact is there was no coin mined, no blockchain, nothing, I have never seen anything like it, any coin that claims to kill bitcoin is red flag lol, 
Remember that Bitcoin is still beta software. Don't put all of your money into BTC!

Any coin can be a scam at the end of the day, developer can still leave the project after 10 years of working with it and this is why we need to take profit always and don’t be too greedy on holding with your coins. There’s a lot of scam projects before, whether its big or not it can still affect the market, it will be hard to trust the market if you’re one of those victims. Biggest fraud is Limiting yourself from knowing better, cryptocurrency is not a safe investment well the most volatile price movements.

Bitconnect is fraud before they release because of their promises and they are focus on investment scheme that is why other people telling that there is no investment scheme that will make you rich fast and almost all investment online have a high risk unlike a real bank with only 1% to 3% yearly interest.

Bitcoin is a lending investment and they promise that we will make a good profit but after the government of UK they issued Bitconnect a notice with two months to prove its legitimacy. Bitconnect fails to provide that they are legit and they found that the bitconnect company has never existed.
That is why they end up to become scam in the first place their plan is to scam people.

Nowadays, it is truly difficult to trust the market because you can't guarantee that your funds will be safe from scam projects. I experienced getting scammed before, I did not blame anything or anyone because I know that I messed up on making decision regarding on where I can invest my money. I was easily tricked by their sweet lies and I don't even tried to search any details because they sound too sweet that makes me think that my investment is going to be worthy, it turns out that it is not. About that, this kind of incident should be a lesson to any of us because we can't control or even stop people if being greedy hit them. We need to be a good observer so that our funds will be safe and secured from those kind of people.

I was one of them who lose their fund there it has around a few bucks and I saw some investors lose their funds of millions still, but I can not believe that why not take any legal action to the CEO of bitconnect? or any other secret is behind his missing case?

By now every crypto investors should know that no coin is 100% safe either old or new, people like you are the backbone of these coins, even if they have good mind today they can go dark tomorrow

People love quick rich scheme thats why criminals can always take advantage of their greed. Even if the authorities keep reminding that every investments that offers fixed revenue or offers too good to be true specially without products are probably scam.

It also makes us matured on what and how to look on a coin or projects that come along the way, OneCoin and BitconnecCoin are two coins that have given us a bad example that we must look closely and analyze, about the true intention of these projects, because of these many projects are no landing on the scam section because they are exposed.

Maybe you want to know about others: https://cointelegraph.com/news/unpacking-the-5-biggest-cryptocurrency-scams

Unfortunately, these kinds of major thefts have occurred and it is not guaranteed that they will not happen in the future. No need to give an opinion about taking any precautions, considering that the plans for big thefts are big too. In such cases, some luck is needed not to lose.

More new projects are getting exposed on scam accusation thread, i hope people will always check out that thread because it can safe you few headache of doing researches, to be honest it's very hard to detect scam if you are new to crypto space but it's part of learning

I guess "one coin" existed in the early days of cryptocurrency. I never really had the chance to know what the currency was all about.
Didn't it exist on a Blockchain or a proper Blockchain?
Well, people should really be careful investing in what they can't afford to lose. Also try to invest in projects with good use case and sustainable income

The biggest scam in a crypto was for sure PlusToken ponzi scheme, followed by OneCoin and Centra, where big name like Floyd Mayweather was involved. Scammers  look many times more legitimate than projects that can dominate the world.

Plustoken is one of the largest crypto related Ponzies for sure.
Cloud token is another large fraud still going on.

that is what is worrying, especially new projects or coins that offer coin liquidity in the market which can potentially have large pumps. do not immediately believe, and if you want to invest large amounts, just buy bitcoin or etherum which has proven their work in the crypto market.

There is a lot of scammers are creating the ponzi scheme right now and plustoken should be the next biggest fraud in the crypto history. As far as i know it was also scamming billions worth of money.
People are so blindly caused by what they wanna get from those scam projects are daily interest. But people are learning a lot right now about how to determine the scam project.

That's true and can be said plustoken is one of the biggest crypto scams of all time. It is not as popular as bitconnect, but fraud from plustoken bad impact the market and some articles say that the market decline when plustoken fraudsters dump their assets that happened some time ago and this has come to the attention of many people, especially the crypto community.

I just laugh when I read comments like that.  Exaggeration is another tool of scammer to promote their scheme.  Many had been persuade that onecoin will replace  Bitcoin.  It was very popular in one area in my country, those local promoters often ends up in a heated discussion whenever someone ask legit questions pointing to the Onecoins scheme being scam.

Biggest fraud is Limiting yourself from knowing better, cryptocurrency is not a safe investment well the most volatile price movements.

The best strategy is to first recover your initial investment and earn as much profit as you can. Never trust any project as they may exit at any time. Crypto market is full of scams and we have to play sensibly to get our money safe in the market. You can find people who still got benefits from ponzi scheme like bitconnect.

Crypto scammers have no fear or shame to prey on their victims because they believe no law can hunt them down, some are already been caught and many more escaped without getting caught, the most annoying part are teams that shows their identity online to deceive investors, i hope regulation will put a stop to all this soon
