Help, scam or not?

[hp661]

Hi guys, someone has just messaged me on facebook asking if i wanted to learn more about bitcoin... I don't know much but this seems a bit dodgy to me, so I've come to this forum for your guys thoughts? Here are the messages she sent me

HER:

We are giving people the opportunity to come and be educated about bitcoin for 30 mins in our office and chesterfield and in return we will give you a free lunch at wether spoons for 2 people x
Is it something you'd be interested in?

ME:

Sounds good so far, may I ask why you are giving people this opportunity?x

HER:

To educate people and make them know what bitcoin is about. We mine bitcoin so you can make money easy. I have a wallet for my little boy it's easy money xx
Crypto currency is the way forward. And bitcoin will be worth 10,000 a coin soon. So rather than buying bitcoin s you can mine them xx

ME:

I'm kind of familiar with mining, although I've heard I'd spend more money on electric keeping a miner running than I would make bitcoin?x

HER:

That's why we do the mining here for You, mining at home doesn't make financial sense. But the only profitable way to mine is In a farm and that's what we do. We mine whatever is profitable at the time. If you give me a few details I'll book you for a appointment and you'll get a free lunch for 2 and all this info x





I don't know if I'm just being paranoid, or is this an actual opportunity ? Would be great to hear from you guys, thanks a lot

familiarize yourself of the definition of a scam home boy. Are they asking you for money? membership? if you're curious just go with an empty pocket.

[tora]

You can really only make money mining bitcoin if you have a cheap source of electricity. Ask where they are mining. Definitely not in UK.

[StevenPalmer87]

Maybe the best way to know what is scam and what is not is auditing? There are too many scams on ICO nower days, maybe there is should be some accounting projects?

[hp661]

Ill rephrase, potential scam...

I'm based in the east midlands, she is also from this area

[Mi5h0]

I cannot think of anything else it could possibly be other than a Ponzi scheme or something very, very risky for some other reason. That could, of course, mean it's something so strange that I can't think of it. But I know of no other explanation that makes any sense for someone to share his profitable business with total strangers.

That being said, did someone mention a free lunch?

bitcoin is very helpful, especially in finance.
there is no element of deception at all. why can I say like that?
because bitcoin has been proven by some of my colleagues here. unfortunately, i'm just going to start and learn about bitcoin today, if only from the first, maybe have changed my purchasing power thanks to bitcoin

[Misuzu]

To me it looks like she is really trying to get you for the free lunch other than teach or explain what it is all really about haha

[aristospetr]

I think, in this case, everyone should be asked about the audit reports of any ICO project! It seems to me that publishing an audit of ICO projects now is a necessity.

[hp661]

It just seems a bit dodgy to me aha, like what is she getting out of helping me if that makes sense?

Maybe I could go with an empty pocket like another user said and see what the crack is...

[filharvey]

I think that they might be from a cloud mining firm.Its just my guess.You could just contact them and ask them actually what it is they are offering and whether  they need any initial deposit for it.If they ask for initial deposit,better stay away from them.You better learn about bitcoin first and then you would get an idea about which could be a legit offer and which could not be.

Have you heard about any projects, which can provide audit in ICO?

[1inside1]

I personally think that this would be a bad idea to go to,  but make your own decision op,  It could be legit (but who in their right mind would give out free stuff tbh),  but I'm thinking they might want something out of you or to hurt you.

Yes, it would be interesting to see audit reports from some projects like Tezos hahah

If you do have some doubts and questions on mind. Why not try to go on and meet them. Just ask them  on the thing you do want to know and see it for yourself if they do really have mining farm not just on bluffing out that they are profitable on mining as of now. If you can see a farm which do resides near on your place i would say its not a bad idea or scam since they can really show off on what they are trying to offer on here but the thing here is that mining isnt profitable nowadays and if you do plan to invest then be ready for a longer ROI for sure.

So she put

'At the appointment we don't want anything from you it's a no obligation appointment. Xx'

I worked in a call center previously and we used the words 'completely free no obligation assessment' quite often, and it would end up with the person on the other end of the line losing a chunk of their pension

Terrible place, I know

Them words just put me off haha

That is undoubtedly something to say to a random person it is like a networking kind of scheme they will need your cooperation then the time and effort you can give them might be something that for their future success but in a random thing like this it will all end up in a scam section and more than anything you know they can get bitcoin from your wallet.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I'd agree with everyone else who said this is probably a scam--it sure as hell sounds like one to me, and anyone who's spent more than a few days in the world of bitcoin knows that scammers outnumber honest people about 3:1. 

So don't go for it OP, don't even respond.  They'll probably rob you at gunpoint, or at the very least make you pay for lunch. None of the possible outcomes are appealing IMO.

Guys, if you find smth could you text it here?)

[solarion]

It seems as a scammy cloud mining investment option. There are many people invested in these of cloud sites and lose 0.03 or sometime even more also.
If you want check the scam or whether that is scam or not. It is purely best place this forum will give clear information to understand it.
