Title: growcoins.com Post by: Qwiner on September 10, 2013, 05:37:11 PM This is a very new bitcoins investment website. There is no post about it in here, so I post it.
Are these types of investment websites scam? Did anyone heard or know about whether these websites are scam? Title: Re: growcoins.com Post by: farlack on September 10, 2013, 05:43:52 PM It's called a HYIP, or a ponzi. Daily profit 10%? Impossible, there would only be rich people if this were possible.
Title: Re: growcoins.com Post by: kyntar on September 12, 2013, 02:16:45 AM Looks interesting but then so does a t-bone steak on the grill in the middle of a pack of lions. Do you go for it or leave it be?
Title: Re: growcoins.com Post by: ratty on September 19, 2013, 06:10:12 AM The typos all over the website is a big red flag too. http://growcoins.com/faq2.php "Which e-currencie do you accept? We accept : BitCoint`s."
I gave it a try just to see, I can afford to lose 0.1BTC. I googled for growcoins.com just to see what people are saying, and found this thread. The 15 days should be up in a week, place your bets now on if I'll actually be able to get the coins out. :) I'll report here how it goes. Though maybe they actually pay out on the small investments, to gain confidence. I'll reply here on if I get paid or not, so at least there will be some evidence one way or the other. Though I could easily be a shill, so stay skeptical regardless. :) I clicked "contact us" and asked them to post here, since on the off chance they actually aren't a scam, they can explain how the heck they're able to pay out so much.

Sent an email over 24 hrs. ago and still no response. I sent another email earlier and am waiting to hear back. Do Not Invest. I was your guinea pig and it don't look good.

Title: Re: growcoins.com Post by: ratty on November 01, 2013, 02:53:20 AM I lost 0.1BTC on it, but I knew it was high risk of being a scam. Whatever we paid, consider that fee for learning a lesson about a type of ponzi scheme called HYIP.
