Decentralized? One thing is to use words and another thing is to understand what that word actually mean in the context in which they are being used.

That would have been the first step to understanding that there is more to wat your being presented with. Decentralisation is something without an individual or authority at the apex of its control, one that has no chain trend of benefits on referrers.

The closest means to tracking these scams is by knowing what ponzi schemes actually is. It has some definite attributes to its and that is,
* high returns within a short time frame
* they prioritise in referrers
* your paid with money from your downlines and more

It's best you keep your funds and invest in some other positive investments.

The tin be say for 9ja no matter say we done dey wise we still get some way still dey more foolish and this scam something done increase pass before, if to say I really get more time I for drop plenty pictures of scam messages both Facebook WhatsApp and normal message app, but the tin be say if all these things way them they try use scam us nah real them no go tell us. Well even our leaders self they run us local so e con dey like normal thing for some youth eyes and e no make sense

Normally people are greedy and everyone is just trying to press the available buttons to see which one brings luck and some are lazy, I know of people who are always trying new things out to see if they will get anything out of every opportunity since we are all trying to survive, and now the principle of working hard is gradually changing and now is working smart, and finally, the best we can do is to avoid offers like that, its always a scam and people keep fallen victim since everyone is desperate to get rich, educational status does no guarantee you escaping scam.

Yeah, you did a very good job, man. You even saved his life from scammers. Just imagine someone getting scammed 500K. The way the country is now, the person will definitely feel bad if care is not even taken. He will fall sick. And you are right by telling him those guys did not have any knowledge about bitcoin investment, because someone who has the basic knowledge of how bitcoin investment works won't go and meet someone and tell them that there is bitcoin investment and the amount is 500K.It looks funny, but we know that we can do with even the smallest amount of money we have. I don't know where they see that one of 500K


There is nothing more to say because you are close to him and have informed him what has to be done, so it is now up to him to decide what to do. However, in my opinion, it will be a good thing because others are approaching him to inform him of a bitcoin investment. It would be great if you could offer him some pointers on how bitcoin investment works and the risks associated so that if he really wants to invest, he can do so without relying on another person or providing his assets to someone else to manage. Because if the market crashes, the individual who collects the money will be held responsible.

That is how it is. Unemployment is the cause of all these Ponzi scheme victims. Look at the one I received just from scammers this evening.
now if I am not well inform from this forum, I would have also been a victim. The only solution to this social vices is employment and not even empowerment. I see youth empowerment as a deception to the youths in the country. Government has provided a lot youth empowerment in every year yet the poverty rate is growing higher that means, there is something wrong. So we have to stop youth empowerment to youth employment. Government is only spend money in the areas that they can embezzle money and youth empowerment is one of the place embezzlement takes place.

Lolz. It's a pleasure mate, because as senior members of this forum, it is our duty to help beginners like you, and I'm happy you did actually learn something new today.

Yes, that's the exact truth behind all these Ponzi scheme participation in the country, because as long as the employment rate still remains low, people will continue falling victim to this kind of scam, because just of recently a friend of mine just chatted me up telling me that if I'm interested in making money online, he will like to introduce me to a platform that is currently paying, of which after we chatted further I got to realize it's another new Ponzi scheme in town that promise to pay a certain percentage each day, of which I told him to trade with caution as those people are likely crash very soon.

But you can see the chat and name of new Ponzi that you should stay away from or trade with caution below here...

Now I no the meaning of O.P, and I still learn many abbreviations in that Link bro. Sometimes is good to humble yourself to ask questions concerning something you don't so that when you grow old you will have something meaningful to tell your children.

I received a message from unknown number today says, I am qualified in their company work to receive #80,000 as salary monthly so I should click the link provided to accept the offer. Omen e sharp nai I take delete di message. Those Ponzi scheme wey dey say make you put #10,000 to get #20,000 within 24 hours really suffer people for we country. People fall for dem well well. Now those things e no dey work again. Well Nigerians are getting wiser but there some people that are still falling for those scammers. What happened recently on CC scam app. People were calling me to register for them, and told them that it was a scam, yet people still register and the end was terrible.
Me, I see this things why people still dey fall because there is no job in the country. Since there is no job, the jobless is trying all means to work, and earn money so they normally fall for those traps. Those who have job and be contented with their jobs never fall for it. And if anyone has job and still fall for it then he or she is greedy to the core.

OP you saved your friend from such a scam really commendable of you. But I think that if a person made such a promise, we would definitely look at him as a scammer. If a person invests #100,000 in the first week it is never possible to make a profit of #200,000 in the second week. It is not possible to get 100% profit in such a short period of time and if any person makes such a promise then he will surely scam you. There is no way to get such quick profit in a very short period of time so investing requires good knowledge. There are many people who are victims of such scams so they need to gain full knowledge about it otherwise they will lose a huge amount of money in future. OP this is a really good thing you have done for your friend, maybe your friend will take your advice and point in some good direction now.

It's good you asked this question simply because you were finding it difficult to comprehend what O.P actually meant, so in regards to this, O.P simply means "Original Poster", which also refers to the person who create a thread or topic of discussion, because if you vividly look by the right hand side of your forum name you will see the O.P sign written with your name simply because you are the one that created this thread, but if you check on other thread you didn't create, you will notice it will not appear by the side of your name.

Definition of some short Abbreviations used on forum. Everyone should know;

A lot of Nigerians fel for this scam back then. This was the early BTC era. Reminiscing about it and I am wondering that if the country worked as other developed countries do, would we have fallen for these type of scam?

Anybody falling for this scam right is either a novice, greedy person or just doing out of curiosity because who knows it might have been set to work for a handful of the intinial participants. Well, you advice to your friend was spot on.

You do well as you dun save that your friend from 419, e get some people wey go fall mugu to this scam as their friends come tell dem. I dun hear plenty stories like dat and na because of ignorance na why dem dey mumu like dis. I believe say as you be member of this forum and you dun dey see  update like this wey dey say this kind of things been scam na wetin help you so. The truth be say scammers no go continue dey use a particular trick to scam if they discovered say e dun cast but this their trick still dey bring rubbers for dem as ones ones dem dey catch mugu wey dem go use hold body until another maga fall mugu.

Plenty people never dey aware of this scams dem and na why everyday you go dey hear new stories of scammers succeeding. Also e get wetin dem dey call greed, na wetin dey make most people fall mugu for this scams. You wey person come meet you dey give you too good to be true opportunity, you suppose just know say this one na 419ners wey just dey find way to run you street. We need dey careful as this guys dey bring new tricks everytime and some people dey fall for this scams. Any investment wey involve Bitcoin wey no be you dey buy your Bitcoin and keep am for your own wallet na scam, scams plenty dem dey from doublers to ponzi scheme etc so we need dey very careful unless na we others go dey use as example to dey dey extra careful.

Assume you click that link they send to you at the moment, you will begin to see some strange things in your phone that will make you to lose your money and many things in your phone. I don't think it is only ignorant or greedy people that fall victims for all those scammers, because there are some scammers that will call you and the moment you pick their call you must do what they want you to do bro, may God never allow us to fall victims for such people in our environment.

I had similar experience last year when a scammer sent me a message of a job offer. Me being so curious and wanting to finish it all up followed this guy wanting to know who the hell he is. I called the guy the paddy man congratulate me very well dey tell me say I dey amongst the people wey their headquarters approve to fly go work with them for abroad there. I come begin reason the guy man how the arrangements go be. The man say e no go cost me much say make I just begin prepare myself to travel. Naim I come ask am for appointment letter him mouth begin shake him say appointment letter and the message which one dey me very important as e be say I don call am confirm say Dem don employ me. Na laugh I begin laugh for phone.

Fast forward to the stage of him telling me to bring money for passport and other documents naim I tell am  say I no get shishi say na the last cash wey dey my phone I dey use call am like this say if him no mind make him send me money so I go recharge
call person wey go  borrow me money so that I go send to am to facilitate the process the paddy man drop then call block my line.

Na so I take discharge am o. Those guys Dem think say Dem smart. If you no shine eye for them, they would have their ways of doings which Dem fit undo you.

Na good thing wey you do by warning your neighbour not to invest. That's is why e dey good to dey ask questions especially if you no no something to get help or assistance. Imagine if your neighbour no ask you naso dem for don scam him/her. Later, if de person come hear about bitcoin, im go dey mistaken bitcoin to be scam but not realizing dat na scammers use de name scam am. On a more serious note, most times why people dey fall for scams na because of greed, de moment dem hear of any juicy business investment or offer dem no go use their brain reason, dem go just jump into it like that after com dey cry.

Yes na abi na you want invest the money? Abi you fit scam yourself? Lol. Scammers dey always catch people wey dey greedy. Them say na the person wey water see him leg him dey carry, meaning if you begin listen to somebody wey want scam you, you don create chance for him to try scam you.



Oya na check this kind message but some people go still reply the message if not for anything because them wan see whether na scam or whether the person go fit scam them. Na that thing wey I still talk say na persin wey water see him leg him dey carry.

Even two days ago, I get text message too say dem don review my CV, say my salary na 20k daily. I no dey even recheck message like that, na to just delete am.

I got this last week ending, is it not foolish for anyone to believe in this kind of fake salary? Definitely it is obvious that scammers sent me the message and they are only wasting their time.



Aside ignorant, people are also very greedy and they are easily deceived by what they supposed to know that are not real but fake.

At times I keep on asking why em be sae our people d forget so easily of how money doubler investment don deal with people with their unrealistic promises since the time of MMM till now. I believe sae so many Nigerians don get experiences with this type of investment packages, and those wey never get, don hear stories about how this money doubler operates(them go promise people much return, in a short time them go disappear).

Em d pain me sae many people still d blind and delusional to this extent of believing sae an investment company go double their money within a short time if they invest hugely. Like sae those investment company d print money.

Anyway sha, you did well for saving your friend from the hands of these money doubler investment wey wan use bitcoin as a benchmark to scam your friend.

Human being dem get plenty type just because say u no fit fall no mean say other people dem wey get big long throat no go enta all this scammers dem trap. Human greed is what really brings lot of rich and already made people down, greed can make or blind your correct sense of reasoning till you have been successfully dupe. Many people actually fall because they think they have nothing to loose until the scammers eventually toil with their greedy nature and before you know they eventually fall victim.

It is funny and laughable how people still fall for these scams and pyramid schemes in this modern-day developed world if not for the greed that pushes and makes them feel they would get rich quickly forgetting that scammers have them in mind to get hold of as a result of their greed.
As a result of their ignorance without proper research, they also fall victim. How on earth would someone tell me to invest such amount of money and get x10 of it in return within a short period men you gat me reasonably for once o. No be this current Naija person go just dey like that money they fly enter account like that o.
