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!
 
P.S. Please specify scam websites, token names or projects in order to bring awareness.

Ofcourse, I have been a victim of scam and it was really suck, I've been careful right now since it happened to me. All my coins that I've earned was loss and I think it was because of the airdropped that I have joined or maybe it was hacked. I am very sure that I didn't give my private key so I was really upset that all earned was all gone. I should have not stack here so I decided to moved on and start again but it was hard to start again that's why I started 2 months after what happened. There's a lot there like phising site and I think you know that already.
