I usually seen this scheme from social media channels especially in Facebook where spam messages are rampant offering this unbelievable returns in just a short period of time, if you did not ask first and fall for this you might lost your money, you can only multiply that huge amount of money in gambling if your are lucky, but in investment offers this is impossible.

Did you bite the offer?
Clearly its a scam. There's no such thing that you can double or triple your money in a short period. Its not a new scheme to scam the investors hence if you're not greedy to believe then you wont be a victim.

Forget about the conversation. No need to even post it here. Anybody who has reason will not fall for that noob scam. That's 20x ROI in only 24 hours.

For goodness' sake, who in his/her right mind would believe that?

Perhaps those who misinterpret the meaning of -"invest an amount you can afford to loose" Grin

. If I can afford to loose $100 in an investment to make 20x, why not try it, lol. This misinterpretation is what motivates people to want to try. Very unfortunate, the scammer at the other end receives your $100 with many thanks.

While this is funny, I think this is true. Many of the victims of this kind of scam are probably suspicious of it right from the start. They probably know that this kind of offer is 99% scam, but since $100 is an amount they can afford to lose and that the reward is much larger, they are willing to risk. There's no harm in trying, others might say. You can easily earn that $100, but that reward is too juicy not to try getting.

It is a pity that in chasing easy money, we are actually burning money.

Please! I think that you are supposed to be +18 and these types of questions at that age even before, one has to have them resolved in what you should do.

Now, let's do the example so that you understand the point "if someone" tells me to invest $1000 and you earn $100, I would accept without hesitation, but most do not, let's make the scenario that the offer is made by someone you trust, but if that same person tells you invest $100 and you will earn $2000 tomorrow, I would say no, but most maybe sure do.

Since we talked about the setting or context being someone we trust, I prefer to tell him that I'll give you the $100 and please! don't give me any profit.

It's not that it's impossible to get that return on a legitimate investment, for example investing in a startup or a fancy shitcoin, but if someone promises you above that return they are trying to scam you.

It is possible, but when it comes to altcoins, I always wonder if it is legitimate from an ethical perspective to participate in such projects that we already know in advance will fail. This whole modus operandi is based on how skilled a minority is that will profit from the majority that will lose the money invested - so we come to the conclusion that most of these projects are actually a conscious fraud from the very beginning.

Naivety combined with the idea of some kind of magic money that exists on the Internet is an ideal platform for all scammers, and it has proven to be much more profitable and safer than ordinary physical robberies. Today you can steal billions without leaving your room, and if you're smart enough (which most aren't) they'll never catch you.

If there were a way that they could turn $100 into $2000 then they would have done it themselves and would never tell anyone least of which random people. They could just do this:
$100 > $2000 > $40000 > $800,000 > $16,000,000
Meaning they could have become a millionaire in only 4 days!

So yeah, this is one of the most obvious scams.

As other fellows have already explained, it is clearly a scam. Now I want to give you a rule to detect scams:

The price of Bitcoin has grown since its inception at an average of less than 200% per year. Let's round up and consider 200%. Any seemingly fabulous offer that promises you more than that is a scam, as in this case it promises you 2000% in 24 hours, which would be 730000% per year.

It's not that it's impossible to get that return on a legitimate investment, for example investing in a startup or a fancy shitcoin, but if someone promises you above that return they are trying to scam you.

Yes, it is a scam!

I have been receiving every day in my spam box mails wherein they claim that they will be crediting my wallet with x amount of satoshi or I need to complete a transaction in order to receive x amount of satoshi and many other sorts of tempting mail. I ignore those offers and sometime when those mail land directly into my inbox I move them to spam. Social media platforms are another space where these spammers will contact you and inform you that you have won x amount of money through a raffle, ignore them too. Keep this in your mind next time you encounter a scammer, nothing is free and if it is free then it is a scam.

For goodness' sake, who in his/her right mind would believe that? As a matter of fact, we are even constantly reminded to avoid double-your-money investment offers which are mostly offered in terms of months. And here is another investment offer which promises not only double but 20x, and not just in weeks or months but only in a matter of hours.

You need to ask yourself one thing any time you receive such a tempting offer: Where does the money come from? If someone really can turn from $ 100 to $ 2000 in just 24 hours, why would he share that with you? It is all a hoax, a lie and fake and you should ignore this offer.

In my experience, eight out of ten newbies fall prey to the scam first before asking the right questions. It's hard to resist quick, easy money. I hope OP has not given the scammers any money. If you already sent the $100, take a deep breath and move on.

Unfortunately two categories of persons still fall prey to these cheap dubious schemes;

- The greedy: These particular set is what everyone describes most time, the set that ignore all the red flags and ridiculous ROI and still want to try to get $2000 from $100.

- The desperate: These set are usually maybe facing ine financial challenge or other and they require money to sort it out. They make themselves vulnerable because of their willingness to try anything to meet up, and it can usually make them victims.

For whichever category one falls under, especially as newbies... remember that there is really no easy way to make money, and there will always be people out there who want to take the little or lot that you have, always be on guard.

You don't need to ask further questions if this is a scam or not. Just ask yourself
1) If someone can turn your $100 into $2000 within 24hours, why did he/she even need your $100 in the first place?
2) Is making money that easy, then why is all internet user not a millionaire?
Just like the crypto community will say. Everything that seems too good to be true is totally a scam.

Just so you know: 'anything that looks too good to be true is prolly a scam', does this look too good to be true? Absolutely, is it a scam? Definitely, should you invest in it? No, unless you prolly have money you want to 'donate' to scammers.

Quite a lot of people just take investments (of any type) to be a get rich quick thing, and more ofen than not they get scammed and it is a product of their own greed. If you are not patient, both in learning and investment, you will make a mistake and lose your funds.

How do you feel? Do you think this is real for a second? I doubt that because you won't create this topic if you dont have a doubt, 100$ for 2000$ is impossible, what do you bring to the table to get that high amount? They are trying to lure your ass so they can run away with your 100$, imagine 100 people fall for this scam how much do you think they will make? . Don't be greedy.

You invest and they tell you that you can win? Well, it's gambling although there's a risk and this risk is obvious, an obvious scam that has been existing. If there's a legit offer then all of us are already rich with that scheme. But the truth and reality is that they're just giving you false hope and will scam your $100. Don't feed your $100 to them and that's better if you'll buy bitcoin or any crypto that you think that you've studied very well and invest it there so that you'll have the actual investment that will go with the market and going to add the experience to you.

Oh unfortunately, you have fallen prey to one of the most alluring scams in the cryptocurrency world- which are called "ponzi-schemes."

Ponzi-schemes are projects that offer significant amounts of return in a short amount of time with a minimum required investment money. For example, they offer 50-100% return in around 1-6 months which require you to invest a minimum amount of money to their project. Obviously, the interest rates are very high but typically these projects are scams that can potentially run away with your money.

Unfortunately, I doubt that you would be able to return your money as this will now be an expensive learning lesson on your part.
