There are also some instances in Facebook where they will make a post and your facebook profile being tagged and also your profile picture being shared there indicating that you won their huge giveaway even though you didn't participate in their fake event, I think many newbies will also fall for that trick especially when the reward is high and the fee you need to pay is not even 10% of the prize.

I actually try some of the investment that is very similar to this where you are going to invest a minimum amount of 0.001 BTC to start earning with just investment and they're your money will automatically going to earn profit as time goes by. With a high percentage of earning you are really going to be temp to invest especially with a high amount of profit with just investment.

At first, you could really earn the right amount that they said but eventually, you are going to encounter a lot of issues in withdrawing something like maintenance websites issues, etc. And then as the website is gaining a lot of investment it will just go to shut down and run away with the money.

It's funny because you could earn a lot especially with you have a great number of affiliates and that affiliates invest a big amount you could get a percentage of that investment. But it is still a scam you it's not recommended because in the end all of the conditions are broken.

Social media were being used not only in twitter and facebook because others too like youtuebe. These are the worst places for newbies that will easily fall for a scam. And there is only one thing we could do and that is to report those scammers promoting scam. Though it may be look hard but if many will going to help and will do a little effort in reporting it then that would do best already.

How greedy the offer is! Free 0.06 BTC. How unrealistic the offer is!

This is free 600 USD Smiley

I can tell you that if someone offers you free 60 USD you can be very suspicious. I've been browsing the forums for years and haven't seen even 60 USD being given away to a large number of participants.

60 USD in a competition happens often or as an airdrop for Bitcoin owners but for registering an account? I think the most I've seen for testing out a site was $20 and there were other limitations like you had to bet it a few times to be able to withdraw or you had to get some referrals...

If they were giving away 6USD for free I'd say it could be legit. 60 - nah. 600? LOL

I believe only those that will believe this kind of offer are newbies or users that are desperate to get a hold of that cash at the moment. But unfortunately, there is nothing as free $600 or $60. $6 is believable but they will require you to accomplish some tasks but $60/$600, I don't think they will just give away for free without anything in return. In the end, they might get more money from you than what you will get from them. So stay safe!

This cycle won't really end, unfortunately. The only thing that would minimize the number of victims here, (as always mentioned) is none other than education 'bout scam thing in general. Thing is, people couldn't care less about some notice, as if they won't be getting involve sooner or someone around with them  Sad.
This fraud scheme that only makes your money disappear. People who have already jumped into the crypto world without basic knowledge certainly will not heed the warning given. That's because of their greed and mindset who want to get money quickly and easily just by making a little deposit and get multiple benefits.

Nobody gives 100% profit today. If there is an investment model like that, with a profit of 100% it can be ascertained that it is only fraud.
