Just read this article, a nice piece about Bitcoin scams with an example - http://cryptofinance24.com/how-not-to-scam-people-p428-171.htm
The example story about one scam there is just hilarious. The scam is so bad, but people still fall for it Huh

So, have you ever got scammed, or know some good stories to share with others to help them learn from others mistakes?

I think 60% of the users on this forum has been scammed at least once. I have seen lot of scams in the casino environment, when is about get money people can be really creative.

I have been scammed by users asking for loans and then running away, and i have been scammed by casinos who decide to keep my money and block my withdrawals.

Some years ago the biggest bitcoin scams was based on Ponzi, now days we don't see much ponzi, but we see lot of ICO's ending in scam. So, let's play it smart and be careful.

yeah but depending on the category of a particular scam the number of people that fall under that category may be very small. for example the obvious Ponzi schemes only take newbies as victims not the others. so this category only affects the newbie category of people and has a high percentage there. but overall it doesn't have high stats.
another category can be the exchange scams where they take your money and run. this has affected all kinds of people. basically whoever used an exchange has a bad experience in his history if he has been around for a while.
