Some people are just so greedy but got scammed this way, nothing too good to be real like this will have good ending for investors. It is clear that people should stay off this and completely avoid it. Any active high yield return like this are just ponzi schemes.

Minimum deposit required? =   ✓
Absurdly high interest rates? = ✓
Interest rates given in a short amount of time? = ✓
Early expiration of domain? =   ✓

Most of the requisites of being a scam ponzi scheme were met in this current project. Newbies should stay away at all cost at these offers especially that they may be pleasing to the beginner's eye. I really do hope that newbies would not attempt to even try any ponzi schemes in the future as all of these are traps to lure newbie investors.
As always, nice find TalkStar! Keep up the good work!

They are even active on telegram? Man, I do hope that people would not fall in to this trap as it is obviously a scam!
