They don't want to post their thread in "Investor-based games" because they won't get much visibility there and everyone is well aware that that board is 100% scams. They can't just post an advertisement in another board because it will get trashed. So they frame it as a legitimate question like this. That way they get their visibility and the thread doesn't get trashed.
Unfortunately, rather than one user pointing out that it's an obvious scam and then everyone else letting the thread die, it gets continually bumped by more people just saying the same thing on repeat, giving the scammer the extra visibility they wanted in the first place.
So yes this is an obvious scam, OP probably runs it, and please stop posting in this thread.
