This cycle won't really end, unfortunately. The only thing that would minimize the number of victims here, (as always mentioned) is none other than education 'bout scam thing in general. Thing is, people couldn't care less about some notice, as if they won't be getting involve sooner or someone around with them Sad

.

This fraud scheme that only makes your money disappear. People who have already jumped into the crypto world without basic knowledge certainly will not heed the warning given. That's because of their greed and mindset who want to get money quickly and easily just by making a little deposit and get multiple benefits.

Nobody gives 100% profit today. If there is an investment model like that, with a profit of 100% it can be ascertained that it is only fraud.

How greedy the offer is! Free 0.06 BTC. How unrealistic the offer is!

This is free 600 USD

I can tell you that if someone offers you free 60 USD you can be very suspicious. I've been browsing the forums for years and haven't seen even 60 USD being given away to a large number of participants.

60 USD in a competition happens often or as an airdrop for Bitcoin owners but for registering an account? I think the most I've seen for testing out a site was $20 and there were other limitations like you had to bet it a few times to be able to withdraw or you had to get some referrals...

If they were giving away 6USD for free I'd say it could be legit. 60 - nah. 600? LOL

I believe only those that will believe this kind of offer are newbies or users that are desperate to get a hold of that cash at the moment. But unfortunately, there is nothing as free $600 or $60. $6 is believable but they will require you to accomplish some tasks but $60/$600, I don't think they will just give away for free without anything in return. In the end, they might get more money from you than what you will get from them. So stay safe!

There are also some instances in Facebook where they will make a post and your facebook profile being tagged and also your profile picture being shared there indicating that you won their huge giveaway even though you didn't participate in their fake event, I think many newbies will also fall for that trick especially when the reward is high and the fee you need to pay is not even 10% of the prize.

Social media were being used not only in twitter and facebook because others too like youtuebe. These are the worst places for newbies that will easily fall for a scam. And there is only one thing we could do and that is to report those scammers promoting scam. Though it may be look hard but if many will going to help and will do a little effort in reporting it then that would do best already.

Cashback 15%

I actually try some of the investment that is very similar to this where you are going to invest a minimum amount of 0.001 BTC to start earning with just investment and they're your money will automatically going to earn profit as time goes by. With a high percentage of earning you are really going to be temp to invest especially with a high amount of profit with just investment.

At first, you could really earn the right amount that they said but eventually, you are going to encounter a lot of issues in withdrawing something like maintenance websites issues, etc. And then as the website is gaining a lot of investment it will just go to shut down and run away with the money.

It's funny because you could earn a lot especially with you have a great number of affiliates and that affiliates invest a big amount you could get a percentage of that investment. But it is still a scam you it's not recommended because in the end all of the conditions are broken.

To many attempt like this and it's not good for newbie to experience this before they could learn, best if they could learn on someone's mistakes so that it will not cost them, anything regarding on what will happen in future. There are so many sites to search for to get an information regarding on the platforms they wish to go on.

So the main thing for us here is to become more resourceful and get the information that we need here.

Beforehand, it's a must to continue finding tevery information that's needed once you are going to participate with anything,
scammers are everywhere that's the first thing that newcomers should know, protect yourself by educating yourself with
information that you can read all over the net, be resourceful to avoid making mistakes in choosing your participations.

An advice for a newbie and everyone. If someone promises a +100% daily profit - run away from it like from a plague. Specially if they offer just to hold your funds or "work" (trade) using them. I'm 99.9% sure it is a basic Ponzi scheme. There no on Earth a new single project that can give such profit.

See someone offering huge daily profit - make a deep research or spend a day googling it. Or better skip it.

These program give more than 100% return + 0.06 registered bonus that's why many greedy persons fall for this.

Plus the bounty program its too good to be true they also want to earn from people who want to promote their scheme by asking them to deposit 0.001 and possible return is 1-10BTC which is obviously not true and not possible to happen.

Right now it's common with the use of social media most of the scammers right now are active in those platforms because today there are a lot of people right now are on their homes and one of the best thing is to explore on social media and this is a good opportunity to scammers to take a move many people think that this is true because some of them become desperate want to earn money even in this pandemic outbreak, I don't think so why they didn't make any suspicious in those platform giving a huge amount of money by just investing a small amount. If you are in their shoes of developer do you consider this? Of course no so absolutely a scam.

Idk why but most of these scamming schemes have broken English, it's biggest red flag one can have.

It is the same way for me. I thought I was weird observing bad grammar on any site I visit. There were alot of errors in that screenshot and that will piss me off.

A lot of newbies would really fall for that kind of introduction because it is too good to be true that you could earn free 0.06 btc and with a minimum withdrawal amount of 0.0003 btc. This kind of scams are commonly found on social media sites such as facebook, twitter, instagram, and telegram, that is why we should be careful and help other newbies who are new in bitcoin for them not to get scam.

This method of fraud is often found in the Facebook Bitcoin Group. The method that has been done very often in my opinion. But with several different variations. Beginners who join the Bitcoin facebook group will certainly ask about the Investment Program like this, because their target is beginners who have just joined or beginners who do not know about the mechanism of what bitcoin is and how to get it. They only see the number of bonus offers that are given.

There are even some members of the PM bitcoin facebook group to me about Funds Deposits made on mining websites which then cannot be withdrawn.

This method also harms many others especially those who have just joined. If we see a post like this you should immediately report it so it will be deleted immediately and not harm others.

The people still referring their friends to this, could it be they haven't tried withdrawing and found out its not possible, or is it just different members of the scam team that's still promoting this scam on social media platforms?

Or it might be, they were still hoping that something different might turn out for 'em.

Quote from: tvplus006 on July 28, 2020, 09:17:15 AM

This is how people lose friends because of greed, persuading them to participate in such dubious schemes. But I am sure that no one will get their 50% as a reward for attracting a referral. This is a fraudulent scheme in which no one gets a profit except the owner of the scam.

Exactly! Instead of giving their friends some lectures 'bout such stuff, worse is that, they are the first one who would lure their innocent buddy in Undecided

, damn this greedy people.

This cycle won't really end, unfortunately. The only thing that would minimize the number of victims here, (as always mentioned) is none other than education 'bout scam thing in general.

Then the question is why people are promoting this? You get the answer when you go the affiliate page where they said people will get 50% commission. So if your referral deposits 10 dollars you will get 5 dollars. But the reality is you and your referral both will be scammed. So don't try to promote these sites also.

50% commission of whatever who you referred deposits is too good to be true, that's if your referral deposits 1000 dollars, you get 500 dollars, lol, could making money be any easier Grin

. The people still referring their friends to this, could it be they haven't tried withdrawing and found out its not possible, or is it just different members of the scam team that's still promoting this scam on social media platforms?

You are right, these are the common sentences in social media mainly some facebook investment/crypto groups.

I want to add some more sentences, such as

I will give you xxxx dollars, post your btc address in the comment. Thanks (site link) for giving me xxxxx dollars in overnight. I am rich now.

In these types of lines the invites don't say people directly to invest money. But the site link critically added. Grin

hmph..

This scam method is practiced by many members in Indonesia. as seen in the screenshot from OP, the top dashboard screenshot is Indodax.com dashboard. And indeed almost all members in the Indonesian bitcoin group do this to deceive someone. Indonesian Hunter and Airdropee love to share these fake screenshots. Those who are newbies will be lured into inbox with the promise of getting profit.
