I am lucky I wasn't scammed but I was thinking when I started that these airdrops of Ripple on youtube were real. At least for a few minutes. They were convincing and I think that I've read somewhere perhaps from a scammer in twitter that there were ripple airdrops too. They probably did that to be more convincing.

There are so many scammers are now working in the crypto market and they just make scam with the innocent peoples and yes someone scam with me at first when i join the market and buy the fake coin and after sometime i get the loss becasue that coin is completely dumb.

I read a lot before I invested and I found many scam alerts in other forum that I used and these gave me a clear picture of how easy it is to get scammed, so I invested time in this and I was never scammed from anybody, at least not yet.

This is very nice to know, thanks for giving us all these posts with bad experiences because they help us learn a lot more about the scams and how to defeat the scammers in their game, by avoiding them and not responding to their requests.

I get promotion codes and phising emails all the time, lucky I had a dummy email and not my first one when I was signing up for airdrops. I have put everything in spam and still I receive some offers every second day.

I had an experiment with a platform that had to be deposited in a small amount so That I could withdraw my earnings, and I already did it, and I was able to withdraw all the money. But this is not a general rule, it is only an individual case, as most of them are scam

It is very true that there are posts on Telegram that ask you to send them money, a great scam, but let's not lose sight of the projects that seem very serious and they are too, a clear example of this is Bitconnect, which was a gigantic scam and left many of us with great losses, or Substratum, which promised a technological revolution and overnight, its administrators disappeared

When the markets are priced higher and higher the number of scams also goes higher. The highest the scams this means we are closer to the top. For not we see then growing but they are not happening too often. When we read about big scams happening every day then you know it is almost over.

I have seen scammers passing as traders and I was watching their youtube and they very honestly said that they have some charts in their website that we can find in the description. There was a polish guy that did that in an enlighs youtube. It seems we have the stupidest and most scammers from all other countries. I used the links and they were asking for paid subscription to view some stupid charts they made. This is a scam too.

Well till date I have never been scammed from my trading or Investment making that I'm managing starting from this year of 2020. But there are good number of air drop and bounty campaigns I have participated with no distribution of rewards. Which incite me to later put stop to participation of free campaigns.

Due to this type of reasons was why i actually stopped participating in airdrop campaigns because you will just waste your precious time without earning anything reasonable to the wallet you gave them and that is why i am now focused in this forum so that i can be earning good reasonable coins such as Satoshi and talktoken.

[yato987 2811]

we can see the most scammers try to scam people on private message with the victim , this also happened with me several times but i always block them once they start chat and then send me links for invest and earning huge money with no return which make no sense 

from this point i suggest members to put on consider that 90% of these who sent you messages on pm are scammers and never trust them and register with the links they sent to you

I don't  have scammed  experience  but I have nearly  get caught in it. Where I invested in pyramid scheme and want to invest more bur my luck was good. I withdrawal my money and leave the project. Those who don't  withdraw face terrible fate. 

[Jromz 2158]

Early when I began in this crypto world a fall a victim to a couple of scams related to cloud mining, they tempted me with high returns in exchange of my investment. Luckily, I only invested an amount of money that I could afford to lose back then, but yet I had this bad feeling of being scammed. Nowadays, I have learned to recognize some red flags when it comes to spotting scams. 

[Zalaks007 543]

Thanks for sharing this update with us. It will come a long way in helping us know how this scammers operate and how to prevent being scammed in near future. So my experience with scammers was last year when a user chat me up to send btc for him worth $50 to add up so he can withdraw his coin, and that when he withdrew it, he will send me $80 I return. But I didn't. I later found out he scammed alot of people from it.

I never experience that kind of situation, just beware all of the scammers out there and do not click a suspicious websites, do not also easily give your personal information.

The methods of fraud are many and varied in the field of crypto, and there are many modern methods, especially in investment, as it deludes you by giving you a large daily percentage.

[khan22 3478]

scammers are so many an yes, someone scam with me also becasue i think that the project is very good and best but that project make scam with me and i lost my money but after that i invest in another project and make money in it.

[Yabuko 629]

I noticed many people get scammed by a very simple traps that they should've been able to release it before they lose their money , like telegram scammers and bots , it's  like what logic can explain that people will give you huge profit if you send them your money , even beginners should knpw that because this is not related just to crypto 

For me i never got scammed because i always search about anything before i invest my money in it 

[DreamStage 2105]

I have been scammed by investing into ponzi schemes, basically double coiners where you invest some cryptocurrencies amount and you wait for a specific scheduled profit like daily 100% profit return back and so on.

 

Also have been closed into getting scammed by pishing sites but i am glad i have added 2fa security measure at all the websites i use for using my login credentials.

[Husnyjaf 1784]

Scammers are very smart and very good at what they do. No matter how intelligent one is if a person is not very carefull the person may easily get scammed. I've never been scammed and I dont wish to be a victim someday.

[wassim19 645]

I was also close to being exposed to the fraud a lot, especially at the airdrop sites, which delude you in the first that it is free, but in the end you are asked to deposit a certain amount of Ethereum currency before paying you and I see it as a fraud, so withdraw

[nykas 2812]

I have one really strange  story. This happened last summer, near the end. There was Elrond mainnet launch and there was site where should be token swap done. I entered with my password and then I realized that it`s a fishing site. I was upset, but then I discovered that funds are still in the wallet, I moved them to the other wallet and they were alive. I was happy, because it was about 2k$ by that moment
