I am really interested in this topic and am writing Bachelor thesis about types of frauds on the internet. I believe it is serious problem and it is important to share your stories so others would be aware of these issues.
Please share your experience, where you faced scams, what were your losses, do you know anyone else who faced same issues?
Examples of scams:
1.) Shady Exchanges
2.) Pyramids and Ponzi Schemes
3.) ICOs
4.) Mining software with malware
5.) Emails from scammers.
I will be really thankful for your stories!
I have only been scammed in pyramids and ponzi schemes. The name of the scheme was the infamous Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox popularly called MMM. I was promised 30% returns on investment on local fiat money but the whole system crashed two months later. That was the last time I promised to get involved in any of these sill schemes.
Meanwhile, I just discovered that the same MMM scheme has crept into the crypto world and launched their own ICO with the same MMM name.
