First time scammed , very frustrated

[Father Bitcoin]

That is a small amount, and you will certainly never forget about this incident. However, do not be too sad and consider it as a tuition fee in this market to help you be more wary of people who have bad behavior.

That's right, because experience is the best teacher, from there we can learn the importance of thoroughness in making a decision.

I sympathize with what happened to you, I hope that by reading your review other people will not experience the same thing. therefore I hope that in the future I need to be more careful and do not easily believe the offers of greater profit if you have never visited their Websait. because most of the official projects have a clearer website.

Nearly all of us confronted this circumstance but its a lesson and learn from it and move on.Also offer assistance community to uncover scammers and your circle to maintain a strategic distance from trick individuals and projects.This may be a very obnoxious feeling, which I regret. Within the crypto world we got to be exceptionally careful, because there are numerous individuals who take advantage of individuals and the truth that everything is mysterious in these cases could be a additionally for scammers.

It is like after each success we all experience failure, failure does not mean losing, but it gives us more efforts to help us become stronger.

The lesson that the OP has learned i think is more valuable than the profits earned from this market, sometimes the difficulties bring us more opportunities and endeavors in life.

If it’s about investment then never ever trust the telegram or any other social media’s for their payment addresses or even any update/scheme they would publish. It is always better to check official ANN in the bitcointalk and also check whether it’s from reputed manager or not!! Once your verifications are done (triple checked) then you shall move on to it. Otherwise its a big NO.

I would rarely invest money in such projects but if I do then triple checks are always needed in the first place.

[susuberuang]

Indeed, in the crypto world there are many scam projects, and if you have experienced your scammer project, don, 't feel frustrated, of the course we have to keep up the spirit to mine coins, because there are also many potential projects in the crypto that can pay us, of the course.  the failure is the beginning of the success because the failure is very valuable knowledge to achieve something profitable,

Accepting what happened and learn to move forward, it's not easy but scammers are always part of industry.

They are waiting to keep victimizing people especially those who are unknowingly being fooled, sometimes even you are done with
doing your research, scammers still able to penetrate on you and scammed out your money.
Scammers are always ready and always have their ways to do their tricks, putting your guard up and keeps on trying to update
yourself in the manner that this scammers are good at, you'll strengthen your security by knowing their deals.

Ever get scammer after my wallet hack and loss much money, I think very frustrated because I hold much coin from bounty campaign but keep wake up and looking for with new bounty campaign to get reward back, I think we can get more again from our loss and this better if not keep waiting back again how our fund received in our wallet.

[ecnalubma]

That’s very frustrating and you can’t do anything about it anymore, charge it to your experience. Next time always double check the group or people you follow because a lot of crooks are pretending to be someone and faking projects so be careful. I hope you learn something from that unfortunate event.

Well, these scammers will not be going anywhere as long as there is money they will be everywhere. The thing we can do regard this to be knowledgeable in order to outsmart them.  I hope this mistake would serve as a lesson for everyone. That is why we need to scrutinize all the projects that we are going to invest in before releasing our money because once you send them away there's no turning back, no way you can retrieve them. All you need to do now is to accept what happens and move on from it, at least you have felt how to be scammed you will now be able to tell the difference which is fraud or not. One more thing you should always double-check the address before proceeding to a transaction.

You can check scammer wallet on twitter or facebook social media because they have proof some time maybe joined some bounty campaign project or joining with airdrop, you can see their twitter account but if use new wallet and never any proof with bounty or airdrop project maybe very difficult to know the owner this address.

Even if you do know, then what would you gonna do? It would really be just useless if you are trying to investigate or locate it out and its better to move on rather than making yourself finding into something
which isnt really clear yet on whose behind those scams and hacking.

You wouldnt even know if those personal informations you have gathered are accurate or just an another cover up for their tracks.Unless if the lost amount is worth to fight for
the i might consider but if not then you are just basically wasting your time and money.

Be careful on next time, since you do have already the experience and idea then getting scammed next is not really likely to happen at all.

It doesn't really matter as you can't do anything even if you find out the scammer social media accounts or wallet addresses. Instead of crying and having regrets over spilled milk, it would a very much better to just come to terms thst what's lost is lost and move on. The prime focus should be about regaining what was lost.

That’s very frustrating and you can’t do anything about it anymore, charge it to your experience. Next time always double check the group or people you follow because a lot of crooks are pretending to be someone and faking projects so be careful. I hope you learn something from that unfortunate event.

Scammers are always available on telegram so it's always recommended to be on our guard at all times. The very moment you lose you guard, they take from you.

Sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing here, it will help people to stay away from scams. getting scammed is your first step in learning trading. If you are not scammed then you haven't learned trading yet.

[cafee_orange]

incidents of such fraud often occur in other ways. various modes are carried out by fraudsters, including the way you mention it. therefore I can only suggest that in the future continue to be vigilant and the importance of conducting further analysis.

almost frustrated and not working more than two weeks when first time my HIVE coin received from bounty campaign hacked, I loss much money there but I try to wake up and thanks God I got more than my loss, I don't know why many scammer not afraid stolen other fund and not thinking what happen if their wallet atole by the other.

[Why you bully me]

Very sorry for your loss. If it's for your consolation I was robed for more than $100k, which was 90% of my portfolio at that moment.
I find a lot of transaction to this address https://ethplorer.io/address/0xc88b5f4aae1c8f2778def2257b6baf1ba62e4b09 more than 21 ETH.
It will be fine if you open scam accusations and post all proof which you have about them. It will not help you, but maybe you will save someone's else money.

Ouch! that's a huge loss . How did you come back from it?

[motun01]

What we ought to consistently trust on is interestingly not to be a lot to clear off our life reserve funds. It's the price everybody pays for declining to listen to their inward man. I had mine in 2017 when I began in the crypto world as a noob. I saw the signs however decided to overlook them. Obviously, even for your situation, there were pointers to what exactly parted with the site as fake however you were in a flurry to invest without doing your due research.

[harapan]

Sorry mate, I just hope you'd be more careful next time to avoid repeating such mistakes, it's good that you reported it here so that others can learn and avoid falling for the same trap, try to be more careful next time Telegram is like a scammers paradise I got scammed there sometime ago, I was really mad at myself just falling for that cheap scam, but one thing that did to me is that it taught me a lesson not to trust any random person on the internet,same goes for you verify the address before sending.
