Very much such schemes need to be avoided else it would not be sooner where this investor will realize that they have being scammed and this they have lost their money. Also, since you know this location so if possible, along with your friend just go and check out and try to understand the whole process of how much they are asking for investment, how many people have already joined and so on. This will just give us an idea of people ignorance.
Hello @ pakhitheboss
@reliable is pretty much right. Since this is happening in your locality, you should definitely go to that shop and try to enquire about what they are acutally doing.
If the process looks fishy then they are probably trying to scam people and we should make people aware by social media and other platforms.
Just go to that shop and ask what the whole process is. If it is an MLM scheme then what is their source of income if they are getting returns to their users, what's the guarantee of the returns.
Check if they are a registered company. Ask them since when they are doing this and the proof of their customers getting good returns and what/why does it have to do with Ethereum.
I would have done the same if it were happening at my place
Yes, I did visit there yesterday and it is an MLM business using the binary model. The investment amount is $100, out of which $50 is parked for you on their exchange. I have no clue what kind of exchange is that and for the rest is converted into ETH and is also kept safely in your exchange wallet.
Every time a new member is referred by you and if you complete the pair you are paid $10 worth of ETH which is again directly transferred into your exchange wallet. You can use their own exchange to convert this amount to INR and payment is paid once a month.
I did not check further as the plan started to give me a headache. I acted as a lame guy who had no idea of cryptocurrency business and to my surprise they did fall for it.
Most of them did not even have the idea of who invented Ethereum and what are its benefits, they were busy selling me the concept.
