Impressive! they are really lazy since they are running an entire ponzi scheme / SCAM without a website!
I can't understand how people can trust such return and some random account on discord! :(

They posted their link in the forum and are now running the noobs who are going to visit the site with drool overflowing from their mouths just like the greed in them.

I hope anyone who is intelligent enough will read the flag and come to this forum and understand that bitcoin or altcoins once sent a anonymous user on the internet are NOT ever recoverable unless the person who is now owning them gives them back voluntarily - A scammer would not return it.

Such illegal methods to resell games and all, sounds very sketchy and therefore if you want to keep your money safe, dont entertain them or visit their community.

I dont use discord so I am not sure if there are methods to reports to the discord dev team about such incidents, if someone knows more about this, please do take the necessary steps.

It is kinda ridiculous to see that on their discord channel, several people have invested around $50-$200 from the project. I am not entirely sure if those people who invested belong to the same company or fakes, but the fact remains that there are still people falling from the same trap.

Thank you for creating the flag against the accused. I will edit and incorporate it on the thread so that people can support the flag!

They didn't spend any capital at all to create a ponzi scheme website but with the Discord they created for their followers' invitations, I think it's clear that they are asking for the investment they need as well as a return on the predetermined gratuity is a ponzi scheme.
I don't even think that someone will be tempted by the talk in this discord and obviously they just want to make a profit without any capital at all.

Lol, how ridiculous and easy to raise money. Ponzi even without a website. Seems they are claiming as a legal business. I don't know how it's true since I can't see any source how they are going to make money so quickly and return to the investors. I don't use Discord, so I don't know if people getting their funds back, but I suspect it will not happen and eventually investors will get a scam.

Anyway, support the flag and left negative feedback. So there should be a warning for newbies and guests.

Nah, it's suspicious already in the first place if you look at the account claiming it.
It's a newbie account plus it doesn't have enough reputation yet and the account creation date is new plus no other post. If there's someone fail to see what's wrong with that account it's actually a newbie who will most likely going to be the first target of his ponzi scheme.

Asking for a $50 is kind of too high for an investment plus they/he doesn't have a legit website, so how can he claim that they were legit? Ridiculous! I bet before any of those who put money on it he will be gone for good before they even realize that their money is gone.

Discord is growing in users and many people can connect with each other, I think that this is not a random approach, maybe the scammer did some social engineering. If you are smart about it, you can ask them the questions that are going to make them tense because someone is seeing behind their façade. Maybe the reason that they are lazy is because they are trying to find new ways to scam people.
