You really think something like that is possible? It's a scam and in general if something sounds too good to be true than its a scam in most cases.

First of all, this is really fishy. Who in their right mind is going to give you $2000 for $100?It is really a 101% scam. This is what they say: passive income, for which you are not doing anything. No matter what your conversation with that guy is, I am really sure that he/she will scam you. It is still your choice, but I know a lot of people will post here that it is a scam.  I think this should be moved to another board since it isn't about trading at all

If you do make that (dis)investment, you won’t see your funds anymore. What’s more, you’ll probably be asked to invest more rather hastily, and even some additional funds in order to be able to retrieve your alleged profits … That’s how it normally goes …

I recently received an email that someone sent me 20 BTC to an account I didn’t even have, but I know things like that don’t happen and that old rule “if it’s too good to be true, then it’s certainly a lie", should be the only thing to be believed.

@abhmaz, stop communicating with strangers on social networks, especially when it comes to investments - not only are you wasting time, but you can lose a lot more than $100, especially if you believe that there is a pretty girl on the other side

Oh unfortunately, you have fallen prey to one of the most alluring scams in the cryptocurrency world- which are called "ponzi-schemes."

Ponzi-schemes are projects that offer significant amounts of return in a short amount of time with a minimum required investment money. For example, they offer 50-100% return in around 1-6 months which require you to invest a minimum amount of money to their project. Obviously, the interest rates are very high but typically these projects are scams that can potentially run away with your money.

Unfortunately, I doubt that you would be able to return your money as this will now be an expensive learning lesson on your part.

[Pokapoka124]

The ROI is ridiculous, that's all the red flag you need to hit the block button. In my experience, eight out of ten newbies fall prey to the scam first before asking the right questions. It's hard to resist quick, easy money. I hope OP has not given the scammers any money. If you already sent the $100, take a deep breath and move on.

[passwordnow]

You invest and they tell you that you can win? Well, it's gambling although there's a risk and this risk is obvious, an obvious scam that has been existing. If there's a legit offer then all of us are already rich with that scheme. But the truth and reality is that they're just giving you false hope and will scam your $100. Don't feed your $100 to them and that's better if you'll buy bitcoin or any crypto that you think that you've studied very well and invest it there so that you'll have the actual investment that will go with the market and going to add the experience to you.

How do you feel? Do you think this is real for a second? I doubt that because you won't create this topic if you dont have a doubt, 100$ for 2000$ is impossible, what do you bring to the table to get that high amount? They are trying to lure your ass so they can run away with your 100$, imagine 100 people fall for this scam how much do you think they will make? . Don't be greedy.

Just so you know: 'anything that looks too good to be true is prolly a scam', does this look too good to be true? Absolutely, is it a scam? Definitely, should you invest in it? No, unless you prolly have money you want to 'donate' to scammers.

Quite a lot of people just take investments (of any type) to be a get rich quick thing, and more ofen than not they get scammed and it is a product of their own greed. If you are not patient, both in learning and investment, you will make a mistake and lose your funds.

[Myleschetty]

You don't need to ask further questions if this is a scam or not. Just ask yourself
1) If someone can turn your $100 into $2000 within 24hours, why did he/she even need your $100 in the first place?
2) Is making money that easy, then why is all internet user not a millionaire?
Just like the crypto community will say. Everything that seems too good to be true is totally a scam.

Unfortunately two categories of persons still fall prey to these cheap dubious schemes;

- The greedy: These particular set is what everyone describes most time, the set that ignore all the red flags and ridiculous ROI and still want to try to get $2000 from $100.

- The desperate: These set  are usually maybe facing ine financial challenge or other and they require money to sort it out. They make themselves vulnerable because of their willingness to try anything to meet up, and it can usually make them victims.

For whichever category one falls under, especially as newbies... remember that there is really no easy way to make money, and there will always be people out there who want to take the little or lot that you have, always be on guard.

You need to ask yourself one thing any time you receive such a tempting offer: Where does the money come from? If someone really can turn from $ 100 to $ 2000 in just 24 hours, why would he share that with you? It is all a hoax, a lie and fake and you should ignore this offer.

OP welcome to the forum.
OP you should listen to our forum mates what they are told you is correct you should not take your risk with that project do not send them your $100  cause in reality no one can give you $2000 without working in their company.  You should not trust anyone cause now adays even your best friend will betrayed you.

[whanau]

100% scam

If someone sent me $100 I would not send them $101 back let alone what they are offering.
Hold onto your money.

[Darker45]

Forget about the conversation. No need to even post it here. Anybody who has reason will not fall for that noob scam. That's 20x ROI in only 24 hours.

For goodness' sake, who in his/her right mind would believe that? As a matter of fact, we are even constantly reminded to avoid double-your-money investment offers which are mostly offered in terms of months. And here is another investment offer which promises not only double but 20x, and not just in weeks or months but only in a matter of hours.

[pakhitheboss]

Yes, it is a scam!

I have been receiving every day in my spam box mails wherein they claim that they will be crediting my wallet with x amount of satoshi or I need to complete a transaction in order to receive x amount of satoshi and many other sorts of tempting mail. I ignore those offers and sometime when those mail land directly into my inbox I move them to spam. Social media platforms are another space where these spammers will contact you and inform you that you have won x amount of money through a raffle, ignore them too. Keep this in your mind next time you encounter a scammer, nothing is free and if it is free then it is a scam.

As other fellows have already explained, it is clearly a scam. Now I want to give you a rule to detect scams:

The price of Bitcoin has grown since its inception at an average of less than 200% per year. Let's round up and consider 200%. Any seemingly fabulous offer that promises you more than that is a scam, as in this case it promises you 2000% in 24 hours, which would be 730000% per year.

It's not that it's impossible to get that return on a legitimate investment, for example investing in a startup or a fancy shitcoin, but if someone promises you above that return they are trying to scam you.

If there were a way that they could turn $100 into $2000 then they would have done it themselves and would never tell anyone least of which random people. They could just do this:
$100 > $2000 > $40000 > $800,000 > $16,000,000
Meaning they could have become a millionaire in only 4 days!

So yeah, this is one of the most obvious scams.

Perhaps those who misinterpret the meaning of -"invest an amount you can afford to loose"  . If I can afford to loose $100 in an investment to make 20x, why not try it, lol. This misinterpretation is what motivates people to want to try. Very unfortunate, the scammer at the other end receives your $100 with many thanks.
