Title: BTCPonzi: an obvious scam
Post by: fluffypony on April 17, 2013, 09:19:27 PM
They scammed a bunch of people a few days back (they were on #bitcoin-otc punting their scam), and they've gotten more sophisticated with a website (http://btcponzi.org/) and a Twitter feed (https://twitter.com/BTCPonzi) - I know its appealing to believe that you'll throw a few small amounts at them and you'll get double back, but obvious scam is obvious.

What they propose isn't even how a ponzi scheme works; their "rules" are practically unenforceable and a glance through the blockchain page for their address (http://blockchain.info/address/1CSFymHagFQoumXwn3x9ndsgxgqZNCKAnD) shows substantially more payments to them than payments out. PLEASE don't fall prey to scams like this and similar!
