I have never been scammed with a cryptocurrency itself or I have not been a victim of what is known as a rugpull but I have been scammed with platforms related to cryptocurrencies such as 2 cloud mining platforms.

Yes, I have been scammed with a Crypto currency before. The said crypto currency was actually hyped a lot on Telegram, so I decided to invest in it. Alas, It was a rug pull as all of the investors money was stolen by the Devs.

Not yet and that's fortunate. I make sure to do a research first before buying a crypto and I only go for the trusted ones.

There was a time I was introduced to a fake cryptocurrency and I had to buy it because I did not know whether it was fake or not. This has happened to me two times

Thankfully, I have never been scammed by any fake crypto currencies. When I invest in crypto, I do a lot of research and try investing only in projects that have been for a while.

Almost. I nearly bought into one because people on reddit were hyping it up. I decided to go with DOGE instead and good thing because 3 months later, it vanished. It was just one of those pump and dump schemes.

I was scammed 2 times. I used to trade in-game items for cryptocurrency/money. Almost everytime I demanded to receive money/crypto first and then I will send that item. But these 2 times I send items first... But it was just about 20$, could have been worse.

This is something that happens a lot in the cryptocurrency market, and unfortunately, many people invest their money in scam projects every day. This happened to me once and I invested in Luna

Ultimately, it is very important to invest in cryptocurrencies that are very popular because unpopular cryptocurrency are not sustainable and it could be a way to get scammed easily.

That's true, the creators of these so-called shitcoins know very well that there are "investors" looking for this type of memecoins that can make an x1000 and take advantage of it to steal your money.

I have never been scammed by fake cryptocurrencies because I don't usually invest in new ones. I am not yet good at analysis which is important to avoid getting scammed by them. So I only invest in well known and established cryptos.

To support your statement, it is better not to invest in new cryptocurrency project. You do not know if it's a scam or not and it is always better to invest in the already-established cryptocurrencies.

I remember some time back i came across a guy who was selling ripple online. His price was extremely cheap, i was wondering why he would sell for that amount so i decided to give it a try. Lucky me i decided to by a very small amount just to be sure the guy was legit. He asked for my ripple wallet, he sent me some ripple, only for me to discover they where not real, it was just there, i could not sell it, i could not send it.

Anyone dealing in blockchain technology would have in one way or the other been Scammed. There are several cryptocurrencies announced as allegedly being created that were claimed to be potential in future. Any many investors would buy them with the hope that when they were eventually launched, their prices would have appreciated. Only to find later that the cryptos didn't survive the ICO.

It is important to conduct proper research on the crypto project that you wished to invest on before involving any financial commitment. Overall, there are so many cryptocurrency fraud online presently.

 

[Laurentta]

I have never been scammed by a fake cryptocurrency. I have never even invested in any cryptocurrency and so it's impossible for me to be scammed by a fake cryptocurrency.

 

[Mostee501]

I have been able to always research on whatever is brought to my table, so I have resisted lots of people trying to scam me by posing as project manager saying if I invest in such amount my daily income would be so so so and so amount by mining for me automatically.

Right now I am considering my investment in SHIB as a scam because it is not exactly what I was told it was going to be when I invested in it, because the whole money I dumped on the coin right now is now a complete waste because I've lost almost everything.
