Title: HYIP "Cryptominer.com..." SCAM?
Post by: seattlenonsmoker on September 10, 2014, 07:50:06 PM
I ran into a site called cryptominer.com which offers 3% return daily (approx. "double your money") in 33 days, if you do not reinvest the principal. It says all the normal things - diverse portfolio management, Forex trading, etc. Don't take it from me - here's their jibber jabber.

Kindly, if your please, read the whole post and then you can comment with all your best and most informed thoughts, because I know there's people out there who have a fresh perspective I can learn from.

If you think its a scam....then it probably is... and why would a big company who forex pro's need extra money from people like us.... Obviouslly this isnt always true... like im sure Apple and facebook used investor money but they werent offering to give u free money...

anyways you know the answer to your question :) hopefully you stopped someone getting screwed.. all though not can resist the 3% daily........ :p

Regardless if people are getting paid now, it is clearly a ponzi and people will lose money on this. The longer it takes for it to crash the more money the community will ultimately lose.

I think is better to remove your signature... so people do not enter into  that site. ( It's only a suggestion ).

I dont think this comes under scam accusations..

This forum is for those cases where we initially thought they would not scam.

Hi :) Thanks so much for the suggestion. What category would it better belong in?

My apologies for the misunderstanding. I meant to intimate in my introduction by such statements as "notice the spelling errors" (as spelling and punctuation errors are not acceptable in financial, business, or technical writing,) that I believed it to be a scam.

Thank you for giving me a chance to clarify!

not invest in HYIPs !

what is HYIP ???
HYIPs—High Yield Investment Programs Are Hazardous to Your Investment Portfolio
High-yield investment programs (HYIPs) are unregistered investments created and touted by unlicensed individuals. Typically offered through slick (and sometimes not-so-slick) websites, HYIPs dangle the contradictory promises of safety coupled with high, unsustainable rates of return—20, 30, 100 or more percent per day—through vague or murky trading strategies. According to law enforcement cases, many operate as Ponzi schemes, using payments from today’s recruits to pay “interest payments” to yesterday’s investors or “referral” fees to those who recruit new members.not invest in
