Here is their offer, up to 6% daily profit. Only ponzi can offer something like that as this kind of profit is not sustainable in any other normal way.



All similar schemes rely heavily on other users spreading the word about it, so they offer hefty referral bonus. What that causes is that people even drag their friends and family int it, all because of greed.




Another sign of scam, boasting with Certificate of Incorporation. Reason they like to use it is because that piece of paper doesn't mean anything and is not a proof of legitimacy, although it may appear to those that don't know much about it.

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Thank you for creating a scam accusation against this project, Rika.

I read their website and it is definitely a clear case of a ponzi scheme. Projects that typically have a minimum deposit that offers/promises daily returns are bound to escape and take advantage of its depositors in the near future. At first, you would see that your investment is growing but before its "promised" maturity date, the website will crash and disappear!

I supported the flag and thank you for your hardwork, Rika.

That "certificate" is definitely a new addition to these scammers faking inventory to gain trust. Grin

People who dont know how photoshop can be used to edit any picture and make them seem legitimate (just like fake actor/actress nudes Cheesy) - they will fall for this only taking it to be real.

Possibly when questioned about it, the scammers have it ready to forward to any suspicious user to calm them and go forward with the scam. Pretty neat scam indeed.

What they sometimes do is that they give you portion of your money back, for example you invest 1000 USD so they give you few days 5% profit daily in order to fool that it is legit, then you invest some more money and of curse after that they never let you withdraw it and whats;e even worse, you share link to you friends & family and drag into scam too.

As a matter of fact, Certificate of Incorporation is quite often used in similar ponzi scheme cases. Beauty lies in the fact that it's so simple that you don't even have to photoshop it at all, due flaws in the system. For example, if you enter that Company Number visible on the certificate ( 12918393) into Companies House you will indeed get the info that company "Gera Capital" exists.

Problem with that is that Companies House (British government website/agency) doesn't verify info that you submit there so you can make any company you want, send them few GBP and appear there and then based on that false info you get that Certificate of Incorporation (which costs measly 10-15 GBP).That's why you will see so many scam companies registered in UK and boasting with that worthless piece of paper, that may appear legit to those that don't know the whole story, and unfortunately many don't.

Some time ago I made short explanation about the issue in Beginners & Help board named Certificate of Incorporation- what it is and why it shouldn't be trusted! in order to help spread awareness about this often used scammers tool.
