Title: Got Burned by a Pump and Dump Scheme - Share Your Worst Crypto Investment Horror Stories

I just got hit with a huge loss after falling for a pump and dump scheme on a low-cap altcoin. The price skyrocketed from 50 cents to a dollar in like an hour, but of course it was just smoke and mirrors. I've lost a pretty significant chunk of change, lesson learned the hard way.

"Dude, I've got a horror story too. I invested in a coin called 'Lambo' back in 2018, supposedly a 'revolutionary' AI coin that was gonna make us all rich. Lost 80% of my money in a matter of weeks when the devs just up and vanished"

"Dude, I got hit pretty hard with that infamous OneCoin scam back in the day. Thought I was investin' in the future, but it turned out to be a Ponzi scheme wrapped in crypto wrapping paper. Still trying to recoup my losses, but lesson learned"

"Hey guys, I had a similar experience with the infamous 'Mooncoin' scam a few years back. They did a huge pump, got people hyped, and then just vanished with all our cash. Ended up losing a pretty penny on that one "

"Oh man, I feel ya. I got scammed into buying into that 'miracle' altcoin 'LunarX' back in 2018, but of course, it was just a bunch of fake hype with a bunch of bots pumping up the price. I lost a few grand on that one, but at least I learned my lesson"

"ouch, sorry to hear that, man. I had a bad experience with 'CryptoStar' back in 2018, invested $5k and ended up with $200 in worthless tokens after a 99% crash. Anyone still have the receipts from those 'guaranteed 1000x returns'?"

"yeah, had a similar experience with a lesser-known altcoin called 'EcoCoin' a few years back. Their promo said they were going to make a huge move, but it was just a bunch of FUD and hype to get people to dump their cash in. Ended up losing a few grand, still a sore spot for me"

"I feel for ya, buddy. I got caught up in a Luna pump in 2021 and lost a chunk of my stack. Ended up selling at the peak, then it crashed... still kicking myself over that one"
