This section from their about us page is copied from another very suspicious site

Code:
Among other tasks, there is a constant and harmonious development of the project, which will allow to expand and increase the investment pool over time, upgrade the equipment and guarantee instant payments to all project participants.
https://www.capitalfinance.live/about.html
This site's team consists of possible stock images as team members.

This following address:
Code:
108 Great Guildford Street, London, United Kingdom, SE1 0ES

^Links to several shady forex companies using the address as per search engine results.

Also why does the accused site use the term Bitpay so much? Bitpay is a legitimate company while this one is a copy cat. Overall the site smells like scam and possibly worth reporting to the registrar and see if they get taken down.

The reason why they might be mentioning Bitpay so much is because they want to make their site look credible so they try and hitch on the credibility of Bitpay. This is not an unknown tactics done by scammers so it's easy to spot if they are faking it.

Yep, clear ponzi scheme, and pretty basic one! But as we know, even that is enough for newbies to get scammed, it doesn't have to be some elaborate scheme.

@Leviathan.007 one suggestion, as I see that images you shared have messed up ratio: when you are adjusting image size, it's enough to adjust either height or width, and the other parameter will adjust accordingly. That way you will preserve normal image ratio, so it won't be a little bit "off" like it is now. So in this case, "img width=750" or "img height=700" would do the trick.

In addition to the suggestion posted by @Rikaflip, I also I highly suggest this website, POSTIMAGES.COM (https://postimages.org/), when posting photos or images since it already offers resize options to save you the hassle of adjusting its size for your convenience. Check the photo below!

Thanks for your suggestion. Currently, I use 750x700 for me images, because some people are surfing the forum via phones with smaller screens.

Much appreciated. Actually, I usually resize the images using in-forum tags. But, the website your linked here can be useful, because this will offer me the standard resize options.


Thanks again for both comments I'll try to use your comments in the future.

Although it is a wise decision, as Rikafip suggested, you don't have to use both parameters. It is usually enough to specify a width parameter, and the image will resize proportionally.
At the moment, your images look distorted. Try editing your post and see the difference.

EDIT: It looks much better now that you've fixed it.  ;)
