That is the money doublers platform of Ponzi scheme. This is an old method of scamming and they are bringing bit again. I don't think those who knows about it would fall for it again. I really fall for this guys on WhatsApp in that year. Chaii!!!

If you deposit that money in the account, that money is gone, you can't withdraw that cash again, that is when system upgrade and system maintenance everytime. What you told him is the best. Let him run away before he fall for them.

Bitcoin investment does not need third party. He can do it by himself, he can meet you and you teach him how to open wallet and buy bitcoin inside and hodle it for like five years. Then he will do well.

No matter how format cast reach, you go still dey see people dey fall for am, me I see say this scam pattern don too plenty already, plenty people don fall but scammers still dey use the format which means say people still dey fall. But na greediness dey kill us for dis country, how you go expect say your money go double for you within a week if you invest and you don’t even know about the investment, how person go just tell you make you send 100k come and one week e go turn 200k, and no be say you go work for d money or you go do anything, with d way money hard to get for dis country now, na him person go just double money for you without doing anything.

Na better advice you give d person now, anybody wey sabi crypto well go give the person d same advice wey you give am. Crypto no be space where you go get easy  money, no be space wey u go talk say dem dey make free money, before you make money for crypto space, you go need work first ooo. So anybody wey dey claim say him dey give free money na just scam d person wan scam.

One thing about scammers is that they always try to find ways to get you to invest, and some people who want to make money quickly will fall victim. I remember what happened with mmm many people were paying the debt until today, and all of it was due to greed and nothing else people are becoming wiser now. I receive a lot of notifications on Telegram about Bitcoin investments, and they often start showing screenshots of how they have benefited from the investments, all na scam.

This method of scam i just wonda weytin them dey use trick people because i no see any reasonable person go just listen to this bring one person the person bring another person like this thing tire me... make them let the POOR BREATHE  abeg. like this even the advise go be like na watse to am the thing be say eh... when them don talk nonsense full their head them go just mumu.

Omo.. Na pure red flag be that my guy, na so them dey operate, and so na so your friend for carry lose a whole #500k this kind tough time had it been he had such amount in his account? Omo, I'm happy you were there to advise him not to go ahead oh, because this just reminds me of what happened yesterday when I went to FCMB bank to go make small complain about small P.O.S withdrawal error wey dey been debit me and not credit the p.o.s agent, and right before me, an elderly man came to make complain about a debit he got when he didn't withdraw any fund, and later we got to understand that it was scammers who called him and told him is a lucky winner of 1miionn naira, that all he has to do is that in few minutes time a code will be sent to him, that they will call him back, he tells them the code so that they can use the code to activate the 1million naire into his account and he fell for it. And in few minutes time instead of him to receive a credit alert, he got a debit alert of all the funds he had in his account. So painful

So abeg, it seems your friend needs to be familiar with the recent update scammers use to scam people of their funds

You are very correct,  aside from the point already mentioned by the first comment that greed is the most factors that make people fall for scammers we also most have a basic understanding of the concept of crypto vs Ponzi scheme since there has been evidence of high number of crypto investments platforms that have swaddle victims all in the name of cryptocurrency investment and that have given the cryptocurrency industry a lot of bad names because many are now having the misconceptions that both Bitcoin and other coins are all Ponzi not knowing what it means to hold your bitcoin in your wallet with private keys as an investment.

Or giving your coins to another third party in the name of an investment platform that is 100% scam,  the most annoying part is the spread of fake Ponzi that promises investors up to 300% profits returns within the shortest time some time say 24 hours.

You really did well to have stopped your friends & neighbor from endangering their selves not to invest with such huge amount of money, at this hard time for someone to go waste about $700 to a fake site that won't even yield any meaningful profits to them.

What is mostly affecting our people is to become rich overnight without them thinking twice or having to know the sources of the site whether is a fake website or not, all they want is just for them to invest and get their profits in returns of 2 weeks or a months.

Come to think of it, which investment platform would give you 100 percent in returned without them stressing for the money, naturally I will like called it big eye or open eyes to have wanting to invest and receive such payback in return. Lemme join @Charles-Tim to say they are greedy to have wanting to invest 500k to receive 100% payback in few days or so.

He said they contact him through phone call and gave him the instruction that they will be the one to help him invest the money and return the profit to my friend.

Thats just the problem with us wey be human being na our long throat for easy moni nai dey put us for so many trouble and all this scammers dem don know these things nai make dem use our greed that hunt us. Imagine the amount wey dey untop the actual money wey him wan invest sef only the promises sef go tell you say na big scam.

It is just very unfortunate that there will always be greedy people like this for scammers to work on. No matter how much the existence of this kind of scam is talked about, people will always fall victims whenever a new well packaged one is started because the people behind these scams know how to always make it enticing and not like the other one that just failed.

Funny enough, even well knowledgeable individuals can still fall victim depending on how organised and packaged the scammers make it to be.

I personally avoid any scheme that tell me to invest and get a ridiculous ROI in a very short timeframe, I also avoid any scheme that tells me to invest and bring two other people to invest under me.

Having the desirability to seek for financial source of income or make an investment in cryptocurrencies is not the bad or wrong decision to take, what we arrived at is what matters because not every cryptocurrency should have our interest being attracted to, many of us don't also know how to speculate, research and make accurate findings that we mistaken cryptocurrency for a ponzi scheme investment, therefore we should know the coin we are investing, research about it and have enough time to study and speculate such while holding.

You actually did a good job O.P by saving your friend from falling victim to such heartless scammers, because that's how they go about using the name Bitcoin to scam innocent newbies, creating a bad image about Bitcoin, as who ever fall victim will start seeing anything bitcoin related as a scam, which is ought not to be that way. However, whoever that will fall victim to such scam must be a greedy person, because greed is the only reason why anyone will fall victim to such this 2023, after everything MMM & Twinkas did to us many years ago, because imagine a person asking you to invest #500,000 to get double in 1week, isn't common sense supposed to tell you that this is likely to be a scam. But some will allow greed blindfold there eyes and later after falling victim, blame their village people for it.

So let's not get tired to always be our brothers keeper, and eh for really make sense @ O.P if to say you been fit ask that your friend about the name of that website, so that other newbies here go fit see say they be scam and avoid them.

 

People are greedy. That is what scammers are using to scam the novices.

100% investment profit in just a week is definitely a scam. Some are through calls. The scammer can request you of OTP sent to you as sms, which they can use to scam you by taking over your account, like bank account to withdraw yorj money. I have received such calls before and most are OTP scam used to access your bank account. It is possible to use it to access crypto exchange accounts too, but all such calls that I have received before are related to naira scam.

There are some that are through text messages too.

The one that I noticed which is bitcoin or crypto scam are Whatsapp messages. I do not wait to report such messages which also result to complete blocking of such account for further annoying scam messages. The WhatsApp scam attempt messages from unknown people was common on my WhatsApp last year and beginning if this year. But they have nothing to receive from me because it is easy to spot them as scam.

No matter where the scam is coming from and the tactics the scammers are using, they are easy to know and avoid, but some people are ignorant and greedy about scam.

Bitcoin is an asset, you can hold it and wait for the price to appreciate and earn from it, instead of depending on people to hold for you which may result to scam. If you find out, the people they depend on for the HYIP investment are unknownn to them and no how to trace them.

Greetings my fellow Naija people.

I don't know why some people are still falling into the traps of those people that will call you for phone or meet you one on one and introduce fake decentralized investment, that if you invest #100,000 you will get #200,000 within a week. Someone came to share with me that there is a BTC investment one of his neighbor introduced to him, that when he invest on it through him , my friend will get double profit from it but the minimum anyone can start with is #500,000 above, that the numbers of people they want in that BTC investment is almost complete, that he came to seek advice from me if such decentralized investment is real. But I told my friend to run alway from them, that those guys are scammers and they don't have any knowledge about BTC investment. Did I give him a good advice ? What is your advice to such person.
