Post by: onewiseguy on November 30, 2014, 08:25:13 AM
Just sent some btc to try it has any one here tried it and if so did you get your return back. Or is this just another scam and lost some btc.  Any info will be very helpful.

They have no published business model, they don't tell you how they invest and in what, and they promise you up to 350% interest in 48 hours. And you have to ask?! At best, they are a Ponzi scheme.

might of thought it was a ponzi but do you any one know how long they been up ? maybe i can still get my initial investment before it collapses.

Well, try it. They promise profit in 48 hours at most. If you can get your money out, then it's just a Ponzi scheme that hasn't collapsed yet. If you cannot (e.g., if the transaction simply doesn't work or they start coming with all sorts of reasons why it can't be done "right now" and you "have to invest more"), then it's a simple scam and you'll never see your money.

I wish you luck.

Sounds too good to be true, so probably it isn't :).

A few odd things:
WP investment site, without HTTPS.
Zero information about the company, no contacts no history just a bunch of BS being bitcoin fans.
They claiming they are running since 2011 but and the DNS record have been created on 2014-11-18.
In the rules section they are referring US laws but the site is in Russia.

You might wanna be careful with this "firm".

Obvious HYIP site, obvious ponzi scheme.
Better stay away from that site, even if it's paying right now, they'll eventually stop paying and scamming.

The only strategy to win or profit from these schemes, is that you should be the first one to invest.
Usually, in scams and ponzi schemes, they do process some orders/or withdrawls.
But there is still always a risk .

Yep! First in, first out and never go back could work, but as you said it still risky :).

350% interest in 48 hours.

Do the maths on this for even one month and you'll realise how ridiculous you were to give away your money. I haven't done the maths but based off their predictions, they are offering to turn $100 into hundreds of millions or even higher, in one month. Wake up

just by the " http:// " I wouldn't trust it.

Must probably a short HYIP that's going to pack up and take your coins.

Not wanting to be a dick here mate, but if you

...figured well hopefully i was one the first few.

and knowingly went into ponzi, not a lot of sympathy.

I know we're all libertarians and it's 'buyer beware' and all that, but doing this is essentially stealing by proxy from the later suckers, and enriching some scumbag who can't even do a decent con in the first place.

Just don't invest any more

I would consider those funds lost. Even the "honest ponzi" schemes that tell you what they are up front are an easy way to lose btc. I hope you get your funds back.

I agree Gambling is probably  worse than doing drugs in my book, does not  mean drugs arnt bad just you know.

I think its much harder to stop the addiction of gambling. placing bets and such.

since he is an early " investor" others' funds will be used to pay him.

And since the investment is so small, it will probably be repaid.
