We know that all staking sites are fake and fraudulent. StakingBonus.com says it can give $900 daily profit. What do you think?

I read an article in a few places that stakingbonus.com could be fake. One of them is from a foreign source: https://crypto-turkey.com/stakingbonus-com-scam-sahte

That's totally FAKE!

The only rule I follow to easily spot a scam is when the offer is "too good to be true"... so just look at that bolded words, you'll already know the answer.

Yoy can easily know from the website that it is absolutely a fake website.

Example is the staking of bitcoin. If you stake $100 worth if bitcoin, the daily reward is $2. If you calculate the APR, that is 730%. Is that not too good to be true? It is too good to be true.

Also if you check the staking reward for other coins on the site, they are all too good to be true.

Avoid that site. It is a scam site.

I checked their website and also saw the returns on investment. You don't need a financial adviser or soothsayer to inform you that it is a clear scam. The returns they promised are not realisation. They will only attract ignorant and greedy investors. It is fake, avoid them like a plague. 

$900/day is outrageous and it's clearly a scam. This is one of the methods scammers use to rip off unsuspecting individuals. They'd create a fake website offering such services with juicy APR to lure their victims into sending funds that they'd never be able to withdraw from the platform again.

If at any point you wish to stake your asset, use a reputable exchange. But please note that if the exchange gets shutdown during this period you might lose your funds.

here's what you are talking..

For $50k amount, you'll receive $900 daily reward or 1.8% daily or 81% in 45 days, so obviously that looks a scam as no investment that could last longer offering that kind of percentage.

According to "scam-detector.com/", they score 68.1/100,, I think it's lower than that.

These types of investment models remind me of similar investment sites I used to join in 2016, 2017 which we used to call HYIP (Highest Yield Investment Program).

They have a very short lifespan and most players will lose money investing in these sites instead of thinking that they can get out early before they collapse. I don't know if this is a scam or not but I guarantee you it won't last long enough for you to recover all your capital let alone make a profit from it.

You need to remember that the higher the return, the higher the risk. Making money is never easy, especially when it comes to online investments, most of them are scams and they exploit the greed of players by promising to provide high APY and APR.

If it were me, I would stay away from this type of investment, it's just a waste of my time and money.

Yeah, it should've been 0/100 IMO. lol

But these websites are pretty much just doing automated metrics unlike asking in bitcointalk where actual people would take a look at it, hence has likely more accurate judgement.

For instance, the website probably give a number of points to every websites with valid SSL certificate and been registered for years among other things. While the opposite is an instant red flag, checking the two does not necessarily give confidence either as it's pretty attainable to scammers.

Judging from your post history, it looks like you own the website that you linked above. I assume you know that the project you mentioned is a scam, otherwise, why would you make an article about it?

I have no problem if you want to promote your website, but I'd suggest writing more interesting articles if you want to create a meaningful discussion around it. It looks like you're no stranger to it either judging from your post on the local board. CMIIW.

If I were the owner, I could open a topic and add a link normally. Is this site fake? It doesn't make sense to promote my site as suspicious content :)) Anyway, I'm not the owner and this is not for promotion. It really has a meaningless income model and it's a topic opened for other users to pay attention to.

When I read $900 daily profit , the one question that pops up on my mind is how is that possible? In general a return which is higher than the maket average is a scam. It better to avoid such websites that offer returns that are to good to be true.

As they promise returns as high as $900 per day, that’s a huge red flag. Legitimate staking typically offers realistic returns in the single-digit percentage range annually; high daily profits usually signal unsustainable models or scams. As always, if something sounds too good to be true in the staking or crypto world, it probably is. It’s better to do thorough research and stay safe from potential scams.

What year did you join the market? Because according to the forum account, you are not a newbie, even an experienced investor. So I also feel quite skeptical when you say you don't know about scam sites like this. I believe that those who have been in the market since 2017 will be no stranger to these types of scams and most tend to stay away to avoid wasting time. These types of investments that offer daily returns and promise high returns can only attract newbies because of their lack of knowledge and experience. I don't think a seasoned investor like you would be interested in this type of investment.

If it really isn't yours, I'd be even more surprised.

Okay, I have to stop here. This is a scam.

If a website, a service or a project tells you that you'll earn a guaranteed xx amount of money and it's too good to be true then let's all be rich together, right? Seriously, that's a scam and people believe in lies are the ones that are likely to be a victim of these scamming schemes. Don't be gullible with promises that are good to eyes but with understanding and proper knowledge, you can easily say that it's sketchy.

It’s 100% scam if the rewards is too good to be true. Even bank can’t offer anything above 10% annually yet this scammer has the audacity to offer 900$ per day? A simple logic will save you a lot of time on judging project like this.

Not all staking sites is scam. There’s a lot of DeFi that offers legit staking but not to this level of profit. No legit site will offer a profit that’s too good to be true.

You shouldn’t entertain any type of offer that you are doubtful.

That's pretty obvious, such offer is enough for you to decide that it's false and a too good to be true offer, whoever still got hooked and deposit/"invest" in there deserves what that getting scammed. I'm not being harsh with all the scams all over the internet people should learn from others and should use their common sense for good.

It is not just $900 daily profit. You can click on the website to read the scam. How to know the daily profit is a scam or not scam is through the percentage profit. From the look of the profit in percentage you can easily know that the site is a scam. I have reported the site. I hope other people can report it so that it can be taken down.

It's unfortunate that the people who have no knowledge of these scammers on this website can easily get here. If you really think about it, they will be tempted innocents,
but they will be victims of fraud by exploiters.

It's just that 100$ that comes back to you every day is too good to be true for me; that's 900$ a day; that's really too good to be true, so others should be careful too communities on these types of platforms.

I'll just laugh when I see such a webiste, when they mention that you can make a profit of $900 is already weird enough.
And what is the minimum staking funds that must be deposited, of course they must be able to mention with a table of profits that can be obtained.

But most such websites will only be a scam for beginners.
If you want to actually stake your funds or coins, use more trusted platforms such as Defi which are supported by top hardware wallets and some tier 1 exchanges,
or you can stake on exchanges such as Binance, Bybit, Coinbase etc.

Rather than handing over your money to an obscure staking platform and with bonuses or APRs that don't come in.
Stay vigilant and don't be tempted by a high APR, but in the end you will only lose the money.

when other defi offer significantly less APR for USDT staking and yet they got massive TVL compared to this one scam site, you can instantly see the red flag that this scammy site has.
so yes it's a scam, just avoid it, so many scams these days that I even don't really trust popular defi anymore ;D.

do yourself a favor and only stick with reputable staking site like binance, despite the low APR, it's still better than losing your entire money, you're trying to grow capital you better not lose all of your capital.

so in conclusion, avoid it.

Not true. You're wrong if you generalize things like this on all staking sites. They don't have sustainable finance models for running their staking pools a long time but it's about their design and different than scam or fraud.

If you're aware of Impermanent Loss with Staking, you will see that in long term of staking, you will have very big risk of loss includes your initial capital value.

Such promise for $900 daily profit is too good to be true, and if you realize this fact, you will stay away from this site and its offer. Assume everyone joins it will get $900 daily profit, where the profit actually comes from?

Here is a classic ponzi scheme, when the first participants receive a profit at the expense of the participants who joined later. Some people think that you can make money on this, but in practice, they don't give anyone to withdraw their profit, which goes to the organizers of the pyramid.

Very much obvious scamming site as that. And untill beginners or investors get to eliminate greeds with their goal of making huge profits in a quick time, they'd keep falling to scamming victims.
That $90 odd bonus was just too much to be convinced that the site was genuine.
