There is already a balance at this bitcoin address around 1.87667562 BTC whether this is the balance of the trapped victim or indeed the scamer's balance to deliberately let anyone be interested.
What is clear is that this method has been done a lot and hope not to be trapped here.

In the real world that shouldn't happened, on the contrary though, people can still fall for this kind of trap because of greediness and not using their common sense. Just look around the forum, you can find hundreds it not thousands of individuals that they have been scammed.

maybe for people who have been in crypto for a long time it's hard to get caught up in such a scam, but for a beginner it is very possible to be hit by the trap, because a beginner usually doesn't have enough experience to detect a scam.

Exactly, these kind of criminals are not really targeting experience users, but newbies in the world of crypto. I'm sure majority of us here, when we're starting on our journey has been victimised one time or another. If you're not, then good, but personally I've been in a bitcoin doubler, lessons learned.

Anyways, I check the website, it seems it has been taking down already.

Those are some experiences that I have experienced when I was a beginner in the past. I was also trapped like this bitcoin multiplier at that time, but everyone knows that we are careful in seeing the trap of scamer because now there are more and more bitcoin multipliers, so beginners are the main target.

Indeed the site is dead. Cannot access it.
