Scam. They all start looking the same after a while. If you have not been burned yet, please learn from my mistake. If you have been burned please learn from your own mistakes so it only happens once.
For those in this thread wondering what the harm would be with "testing it out", "getting in first", etc: have a read.
"If you have to ask…"
Right. It's embarrassing that Bitcoin has so many suckers that this question even comes up. 
Yes, seems like a Ponzi scheme, but you can try a small amount and test it out.
If it's a ponzi scheme, how will that help?
In a ponzi scheme (or any other pyramid scheme) the first few "investors" get the promised returns (paid out of later investments).
So if you're one of the first you might get a reasonable return. Chances are high that you're not one of the first, though.
And even if you are one of them, would it make you feel good that you were part of a scam operation that defrauded many people?
(On second thought, maybe it's not so bad, because all the suckers that fell for it were idiots anyway and deserved to lose their money...

One more deposit may make the difference between the ponzi op cashing out or continuing for another month.

I'm not sure whether the advice given so far is meant to be actual legit advice, but my 2c is that all sites that offer you a ridiculous rate of return for a short period of time is most likely to be a giant ponzi scam which means if you aren't savvy enough you'll just lose it all. Basically, don't risk it.
It's a scam.
Not so quick! First see if theymos is allowing them to advertise on this forum.
Honestly, I would hold out for quadrupling your bitcoins, but that's just me.
