New way to cheat with Bitcoin! be careful

[mr_ROBOTT]

Recently, I have seen various messages on social networks such as WhatsApp and Instagram that promise you a short-term profit of 400% bitcoin.
400% short-term profit and all these things are theft and be careful.



And they sell you multi-dollar packages that you can swing professionally, but all of that is a lie and a scam.
By selling these packages, these people sell very little and beginner information to newcomers to the digital world and promise them to become millionaires.

Do not trust these people and pay attention to analysis and fluctuations in the digital world.


These people want to sell you a dream.

You know we're about to enter a full blown bull market when the Ponzi schemes are back in full force.

Ponzis make you believe you're making heaps of money, then one day it all collapses and the original person or group who started the scheme, profits big.

Aviod 'Bitcoin Investments', just hodl and self-custody your coins. Don't enter your private key anywhere.

The general rule: if it sounds too go to be true, it probably is.

Many scams will want your Bitcoin.

Many alts will want your Bitcoin.

Stay safe out there.

I think barto123 nailed it.  If an deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.  Use your common sense - It prevails.

This is not a new trick in crypto space, this has been already happening around. Easy money? Quick return? Instant rich? People got reck if they will put their money to them. It is too much to hear that scheme, people should have to realize that these things haven't existed nor to think about doubling your money because it is out of reality.

We don't need to let them have a way to scam us. If we are a smart person, aware of the situation, I don't think that we can still be a victim of this. And besides, this is also common sense for everyone how to know if that is a scam or not, but seeing a doubling money scheme is was pretty obvious that was a BIG LIE.

[phreess]

I just end up playing with all those scammers until they can't deal anymore with me and block me :D

I have a good time messing with scammers and I waste their time hehe

Perhaps the OP hasn't visited the Scam Accusations. I will advise you to go to that board and see it for yourself have many scam attempts similar to this one has been exposed by a lot of members. So yes, this is not new, just recycle methods to target noobs who will see this as an opportunity to earn easy money, but it is not.

It definitely should be there, and OP can get some merits in there too. This kinds of schemes are getting traction in my country with more people needing money. Good thing that most of my relatives, friends and acquaintances did not fall to this scheme. Hopefully, they should never know of this or participate because that just sucks.

This news is not new in the crypto world, it always happens in the virtual world because scammers are always there, if you are already many experiences in cryptocurrency then for sure you won't be a victim of this. After all, only beginners will believe this kind of scam, I got scammed before from a fake website with the offer of 100% in return way back when I was a beginner and this sucks, thankfully I joined this forum and become informed about those scams.

There is no legit website that will offer a high return with the short period, that is a full scam, never trust someone or a website like that because you will end up losing your money, better to do research first before anything else.

Haha this is not a new scheme to me. Thieves have been using this way steal people money for many years. They always disguise their ponzi schemes into a blockchain based project such as tokens, bitcoin, etc. Its funny that there are many people believe in these high yield investment programs and as the results, they lose a lot of money. I guess that the dream of being wealthy makes their mind program purblind.

The bad news is the more people being deceived, the more notorious bitcoin is. In my country, people who do not have knowledge of bitcoin or cryptocurrency will claim that bitcoin is a scam and sooner or later, it will be destroyed. And if you are caught using bitcoin, being arrested can be a consequence. Because of those frauds, the government has decided to stop any business related to bitcoin and cryptocurrency. And they would not resolve any issue with losing money while investing crypto. This is totally unknowledgeable and we could not do anything at all to amend the current states

Not really anything new. These sort of schemes have existed even before bitcoin existed. Just instead of being a purely fiat-powered investment scheme, they just plaster things like "bitcoin", "blockchain", "crypto", "decentralized", etc and they use websites with great looking UIs to hopefully trick the newbies.

[Darker45]

This is not new. This modus is very old, most probably older than Bitcoin itself.

All kinds of exclusive and premium packages have been sold online and offline. There's a package for someone who wishes to excel in forex trading. There's another one for someone who wishes to make a lot of money in trading stocks. There's also packages for those who want to earn more in the advertisement industry. Not so recently, there were also lots of tutorial packages offered to those who want to get well informed on how to make money in dropshipping. The list could go on and on.

Well, ditch them all!

Indeed. People are too dumb to realize the truth behind these sort of schemes. Greed has consumed their mind and they cant think of anything else but the money. In my country, deceivers dont even need a good website to put people in their scam project. Only some soaring speeches and promising a high return are needed to lure thousands of dollar in just one night

Education is really important. People should add those schemes in study programs so as to rise people awareness so as not to easily lose money in a imbecilic way

Even if that is an old trick, it could work to trick or scam new people in the crypto world because they will not think much about the scam. They only think that the profit is big, so that makes them join with those programs. If they can search for another info, they will found that there is no biggest profit in the short term, and they will know that it is just a part of the scam that will happen in the crypto world. The first thing that we should consider is a scam or not is the profit they offer, and if the profit looks too good to be true, that will be a scam. I hope that people can learn more about every investment offer they got, and they can search for more to find if that is a scam or it is true.

[gabbie2010]

The gullible ones will likely fall for it, such a mouth watering and appealing high return profits to the tune of 400% is obviously an illusion that can never be real.
Last time it was YouTube where some scammers also used similar trick to scam some viewers fortunately YouTube brought down the video, I believe we will begin to see an upsurge in the activities of these scammers based on the bullish market cryptos is experiencing now don't fall for it.

This kind of scam is old tactic and really common for every business we have so we really need to be more careful when we are just starting a business or investment because if we dont, even if the business has a good potential you won't reach it and will get disappointed early. We can also have a mentor that you well known so that you can trust him just like me, my mentor guides me for every act i am doing and now i am a successful bitcoin investor and trader.

thats new . i havent heard whatsapp and instagram being invaded by scammers but its the twitter , facebook and telegram are the ones that are always on the headlines however the lines that 400 percent return even not in a short period of time will always be sketchy and better if we not trust it to avoid getting in trouble . on the next part you said they are selling packages ? if they sell something and you can recieve the package on hand then that was not scam but it was a different scheme . they can use examples and promising words to encourage thier costumers but its up to the costumers if how can they sell thier product .

[fiulpro]

Just because the price of bitcoins is increasing and at the same time media is covering it in many parts in weird ways like " people became millionaires with this simple trick and such " my local news covers Bitcoins as something that would make you rich overnight. People who know nothing about it tends to believe and these scammers uses this to pry on the uneducated people.
-it's too good to be true
-why should you contact someone when everyone is capable of handling their funds themselves.
-it's impossible within a short period see the charts.

This is a pretty scam that has been around for a long time, most people who are victims of such scams are greedy people who don't think twice about the consequences of throwing money into thin air all in the name of investing in businesses that it's RIO is higher than the average legitimate businesses. But scammers are always wiser to deviate from one field to another. Thank you for updating us about this.

Where is the source of messages? Would you mind sharing them, please.

400% short-term profit is very high and I only see the profit claim from PONZI. If anyone invite me to join group with profit claim at 10 to 20 % each month, I can consider to participate. 400%, no I don't look at it.

[ChrisPop]

It is good to remind beginners on this forum that money does not grow on trees. However, it is pretty common knowledge to not join this kind of programs unless you are ready to lose all your invested money in a blink of an eye. Ponzis are a form of gambling to be honest. The problem with a lot of them is that they deceive people. They mention things like guaranteed profits, huge ROIs in a short timeframe, etc. just to attract the inner greed of humans.
