Topic: Am I in a Scam? - page 2. (Read 491 times)
If there is no trading discussion going on, then I think you are in a scam. Do not invest more money into this website, it will be better you withdraw the money you have invested in already.
are you serious my friend? there are tons of trustworthy website and you think about to trade where you heard first time.is it too easy to fool people?really i cant believe it.
Thank you for everyone's reply. It makes me feel a little bit better to get your input on the subject. I didn't invest a lot, but enough to be pissed off about it.
Now how do I report this so that nobody else gets duped into this.. I feel so stupid. The graphics and everything on the website just oozed slime ball as I was entrusting this woman who is refusing to have a phone call or face-to-face meeting.
I really started to question when he or she or whoever I'm talking to came on to me.... That's when I reached out to my financial institution and came on here.
Can't thank you guys enough for your input. Made me more angry to get these SOB's though....

You can contact your country's SEC to report such fraud company.
Its a good thing that you asked in this forum and learned your next move . Truly, HYIP is tempting since the promised profit is too huge in a short span of time but the problem is often times this ponzi scheme collapse even before you get your ROI.
I have lots of experience regarding this kind of system since lots of my friend had been a victim of this kind of investment scheme, not saying I also invested in this kind of scheme and the result, I lost 50% of my capital investment since the company shutdown and owner were no where to find.
Why do you believe someone for an invitation to invest in something unclear, this is a bitter experience for you and hopefully it is not easy to believe in this kind of thing, it is important to analyze things that are not clear before falling deeper because you will be trapped in it
It's a ponzi scheme which translates to scam mate. Sorry about it but it could also be a lesson to learn as you may encounter more of such soon. Do not be fooled by the website's graphics

Even in their FAQ they refer to themselves as a 'HYIP', high-yield investment program, literally a ponzi scheme. Some of them even just take the money without paying its early members.
The site claims to accept fiat deposits, i.e. payoneer, advcash, etc. in addition to cryptocurrencies, if you paid in fiat money, see if you can make chargeback and report them for fraud, as it doesn't seem the website adequately informs what the user is 'investing' in.

Hello, I've been approached by a FOREX trader and Bitcoin Miner on Instagram. They've told me to setup an account on a website www.aquilaoption.com. I've invested a sum and they are asking for more to invest in. No trading activities has been done, but with a lack of a phone call to discuss this and continuing to dodge the idea of a phone call, I feel as though I am in a scam. But I want to get this SOB, can anyone on here validate the website with past experiences or if it is real? I am new to this and wanted to invest my hard earned money, but I feel as though I will never get it back again and feel really stupid. 
The sad truth is that you got scammed. Probably some "wizard" will approach you next saying how he can help you take revenge, and if you trust him too you will get scammed again.
It wouldn't make any difference if you actually talked to someone of these guys on a phone. Phone scams are on the rise.
I'm advising everyone to watch kitboga's twitch. He is baiting scammers on phone, live everyday. You will have a good time and learn a lot of their tactics.

Internet marketer here. If there's anything you're going to get from Instagram direct messages, it's either scams, or simply spam; and 99% of the time, they're going to be from spam bots. If you have a successful trading platform, chances are, they would advertise their service like how most legitimate businesses do: via Facebook/Google/Instagram ads. Not through DM spams.
Not to mention that the information on their website's landing page is shady. Hopefully you didn't give them that much money.

This HYIP Ponzi scheme is a scam that you must avoid at any cost. These websites ruin the overall reputation of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and to be honest it is a real shame. I also find it quite ironic that websites such as these can get HTTPS-secured so easily. Do not trust - just look at the resolution of their logo on their website. SCAM ALERT
Absolutely a scam. If anyone approaches you privately you should always be wary, even more so when they start promising you things like money. I hope you can get out ASAP.
It's a Ponzi scheme that you should stay away from. Even If they start paying you at first, it's just a matter of time until they run with everyone's funds. If you truly want to invest, buy bitcoin and hold for the long term.
