Have you ever been scammed?

Sadly, the crypto space is a fertile ground for malicious people who have no regrets in scamming others in the name of profit. We see everyday news in this regard, sadly.

Drop your stories of how you/someone you know have/has been scammed/lost significant amounts of money due to points of failure in their safety strategy.

I think this may serve as constructive discussion to raise awareness over this community, and to provide direct experience regarding what errors one should avoid when investing in the crypto space.
