... I see some, especially newbies, posting and rushing to accuse even serious companies of scam. Very often the solution to the problem is on the user's side: they either don't read the company's Terms of Service, break the rules, are unfair to the company, but they don't say so in their accusatory posts. Of course, I am not talking now about really serious problems, scams or malicious abuses by companies.

That’s human nature, when expectations aren’t met, especially involving money, people tend to panic and crumble. Creating threads and calling a platform a scam becomes a knee-jerk reaction, though often it’s only half the truth. But if users take a step back, learn more about the situation, and allow some time before reacting, the outcome might be completely different.

Yep, agree with you. We need to give time to cool down, not rush to conclusions, wait, and let emotions calm down. Then calmly, step by step, try to resolve the situation. Of course, experience counts for a lot. When you have been working with cryptocurrencies for at least a few years, when you know how things work, when you know that there are all sorts of situations, you become more cautious, more vigilant and more wise.

I was scammed about a year ago around €800 by "selling NFT". I thought maybe I could share my experience, telling how they work, what (one of) their deception schemes is - to protect others, but I see that NFT are not a very popular topic on this forum.

And at the moment I have another transaction hanging - it has been "pending" since 28 March, this time on another platform. In my knowledge and opinion, this is too long. I have already spoken to them a few days ago, they said to wait. I intend to contact them again tomorrow and If nothing changes in a few days, I will seek advice here again. But I am not in a hurry to blame anybody now either, I just want to find out if this is happening, why it is happening, so that I can know in the future and build up experience.
