Do not believe any offers that sounds too good

[PostQuantumBTC]

This scam is very easy to stay away from, but there are times that I waste the scammers time very well before he will understand that I have only been wasting his time. I have done it several times and I noticed the impersonators get frustrated with it and move on.

Receiving a PM from a stranger about investment, it is definitely a scam.

Such stories are the beginning of Ponzi and a clear fraudulent activity. Who will multiply the money? How does it get to 100% within 48 hours of your deposit? And if it doesn't, who would you hold responsible.

It may not even be a ponzi at all because you can send money to the scammer and nothing again than you have been scammed.

[Patrol69]

Although this fraud technique is now old, those who do not really have much idea about it should be careful. Basically, such fraudsters target new members because new members easily agree to such offers or believe such talks.

First, they will talk very well through personal messages and offer investment or staking to the people on the site. When they think of positive signals from other sites, they will give a specific link and ask them to connect their wallets or deposit their money on a specific site and they will say that every day from here they will get big returns. When users connect their wallets or deposit money on such sites, they lose that money.
So we must be careful about this.

It is a very common and old way to fool you but you did not fall for the trap. However, those who are new to this world can make wrong decisions out of greed. Not only that, many scammers provide phishing links so that if someone accidentally enters there, they can be trapped in a new way with some personal information. You did well to remind us that such incidents can happen to anyone at any time. Sometimes I think if scammers did not think of cheating people like this, they would have done a lot better if they had put their efforts into something good. So everyone should be careful of these things and not fall for greed and focus more on protecting their hard-earned assets well. Because the wealth that is lost once cannot be recovered.

Money doubling is a scam and no matter how well people try to make it sound reasonable it is always going to remain a terrible decision anyone can make. Bitcoin should be there invested and not to be used to make quick money because that's no really what it's all about, Bitcoin is meant to be a gradual investment and not the one that gives quick profits. Anything that offers double of the amount you invested within a week or few days is a scam, I wonder why this is difficult for a lot of nigerians to realize.

Our people dey always look for fast way to escape poverty by burning their money for fire in the name of yeye investment wey dey promise to double their money after one week or so. Nothing you go tell our people about these scam things go make them believe you, because them don take am as chance to make money. No be say Nigerians don't know say na scam, dem know very well say all these things no dey reliable, but dem still dey push their money into am because of ignorance.

[Humblevirus]

Are people still believing that money falls like manner from heaven without working for it, quick to get rich spirit existing in a man is a dangerous thing, this kind of enticing bonus,or investment to generate or multiply fractions put into business or investment don't move me because I know ponzi scheme is always wearing coat of many colors in different dimensions but maintain one principle of catching their prey as duplicating their money within short time frame, op don't forget that some will be a victim of this kind of circumstances this are those whose mindset is already pressure with getting it quickly without Sense of details, that is while one really need build of knowledge through eliminating some quick factor in any thing investment where one could easily falls into scammer or ponzi scheme of this nature, one I read some line of text I identify faster what that message entail and won't given attention once it's contrary to primary way of investment.

It is the format most scammers use that makes some people believe them and got scammed. Some tactics some scammers  do uses can deceive even an experienced person unless the person is too smart enough, that can't make them fall. So, it is not necessarily about believing that there is free money everywhere, but rather how scammers hide their intentions that makes certain people believe them and eventually get scammed.Some scammers may not even approach people with investment opportunities, they may use entirely different methods. What always safe a lot of people from scammers is being aware of the different tactics they are using at a particular time. But most time , what causes some people to fall victim to scammers is their eagerness to make money quickly. When someone is desperate to make money, they are more likely to take risks without properly thinking them through, and that is when they can easily fall into the hands of scammers.

[Bryan jessy]

It is only someone who does not know the value of Bitcoin that will fall for such scheme, this tactics has been used a whole lot to scam people so I feel it is a very common  trick to lure people to invest their hard earned into something that promises hundred percent profit,  the crazy part is the fact that most of this people that fall victim are already aware of the consequences of their actions but they still went ahead with it, one of my friends came few months ago and was also telling me something related to this, about investing certain amount and getting double returns of my investment in 24 hours even when he was aware that it's a Ponzi scheme, he still claims that he will be able to get his money before it crashes, at times people take unnecessary risk that is not worth.

[Homemade-IQ]

One thing wey these scammers or fraudster dey use convince people easily na good good offers, because them know say people too like good offers, and once a typical Nigerian don here of offers like that, them go become dey greedy and go all in, that's why greedy people dy fall victim to scammers more than those people wey no too dy greedy.

For this life wey we dey, nobody wan dey lose money anyhow, so when an offer dey too good to be true, na deep research or findings we surpose do from there, but on many occasions, greed go cover our eyes from thinking straight, that's why greedy people nai dy fall victim to such things the more, than those wey no too dy greedy.

I was pm few weeks past on my social handle telling me j can start to make specific amount from a site

This is the first red flag to know that the message is coming from scammers. No matter how rich someone is, I don't think they will go online and start looking for randome people that they can teach how to make money. Well, if such site is legit, they can do an ad to publicize their platform but they will can not start messaging randome people privately. There's no legit platform that will do, so, if anyone gets such a message, just be aware that it's a scam, you can ignore it or decide to just mess around with the scammers and try if you can also deceive them to send money to you instead of the other way round.

[Giwagi56]

I was pm few weeks past on my social handle telling me j can start to make specific amount from a site that I do not have any idea of, even to the extent of nearly saying for the first time deposit I will receive 100 percent bonus and when I also refer, I will be earning around 50 per anyone who happens to sign up through my link that I can make withdrawal within 48 hrs of my sign up. I was like, does this person really think that I am a novice on the run or in the cryptocurrency world? Then I told him to invite all his family members and help them out that is just the good thing he could help his family to achieve.

Like I do not understand, I should deposit at least 50$ to 100$ worth of Bitcoin to the site then I will receive back without doing anything. Like what the fuck should I send even a peanut to that site?

I have to share here for us to be very careful, especially those newbies that are looking for every possible way to at least earned something from the space can easily be lured into such offers without knowing that is fake.

I actually do not want to use pidgin because I know we do have visitors here for them to also learn from this experience and remain alert whenever they come across such incidents.

Even without no one telling you that it is fake and they are scammers you notice that, if it was some people that are greedy they will fall into their trap and deposit more than the amount they ask for because of the profit they will make, there is no any site you will be earning when you deposit at this moment, i don’t know if there is still site that can do that but most site that do that now are scamming people and immediately you deposit, you will be blocked immediately or you won’t be able to withdraw your funds.

The pattern of this scam is a simple pattern but we should not play with it because most people will easily fall for it because of the bonus and the profit they heard that they will earn, we should not forget that there is no an easy way to make profit and there is no easy way to make money.

Exactly, Omor the last time I fell for something like this way years ago when 86 billionaires was raining and that one they even created it as a legitimate app and platform and they even allowed the first set if people that participated to withdraw their money and made us belief it’s real it even had a whatapp group with an admin 😂 to show you how prepared most scammers could be they convinced and made more people come into the platform deposited huge amount of money as at then I even knew who deposited 8million as at then. They will make it look real and at the end of the day after gaining so many people with a lore of deposit they crash the site and move on with their life.

Yes many people still believe that money can fall like manner and of course people will still be a victim, this is purely Ponzi. Quick money making mindset is indeed a very bad thing and that is mostly the set of people that easily fall victim and some times instead of them to fall alone they will drag their family members into it even before they will realize what they have gotten in to, it will be so painful if after sharing this kind of information here and some of us still go ahead to become a victim of such circumstances, we should keep our minds and our eyes open to identify this scammers tricks and an as well tell our love ones.

[Yorubasrm]

Such stories are the beginning of Ponzi and a clear fraudulent activity. Who will multiply the money? How does it get to 100% within 48 hours of your deposit? And if it doesn't, who would you hold responsible.

If these questions arise in someone's mind and they try to find the answers to them, they will never trust any tempting offers. Those who have the desire to know these things will be able to properly judge what is good and bad, they will never participate in such random offers.

[gracreavix]

We should understand that scams or people who do scams are not hard to detect. They usually prey on people's greed and it usually works because people greedy. I feel like people should at least know the basics of how hacks and scams operate to avoid them falling into prey. The scams that usually comes are like a quick way to make money. Drop 100 and get 200. What people fail to ask is that, how do they get their money to pay you. As long as you can't answer that question, you shouldn't put your money in there. Even platforms with good IPO even get burnt from bankrupcy. We should be careful as to what we invest. And if you decided to do invest, always put in money you can afford to loose. That way, if it goes side ways, you won't panick to the extent it might cause your death.

Naso e be oo and some people dey always blame am for the country say the country wey spoil na em cause all these things but na lie. Country spoil no mean say make you go dey chase money without common sense na. Greed na the main reason why so many people dey fall victim to scam, some na ignorance but some dey even know say na scam but Dem just dey careless and just wan make money by all means. E get some scam format you go see you sef go know say na scam, everything go just dey too good to be real. No be ignorance dey do Nigerians again because they already know, na just greed and carelessness.

A complete red flag I must say. Who would beg people to come join them make money?  Who does that. The person who is interested is always the person moving around, looking for where to work or a job to do, not a random person charting you up in social media and telling you to credit an address and you will get bla bla bla.. it's a total red flag. How did they even get to know you, or how did they know you are looking for money or a way to make money.

I don't gall for all those nonsense, and like you said, I just totally ignore such charts, or clearly call you a scam and you would walk away. People should be knowledgeable and aware of all these tactics. And above all, we must learn to be very careful.

My cousin brother introduce me to one ponzi scheme called NUC but I refused to invest because the offers in the NUC platform is too good to be true, one of the offers is, you will save 200,000 Naira for twenty days on the NUC platform and you will be receiving 30% of the 200,000 Naira every day until the twenty days is complete, after the twenty days is complete you will receive your return of investment. What I asked myself is, what will the NUC people will be doing that they will have the money to pay a lot of Nigerians 30% of 200,000 for twenty days, that question made me to lose interest, and after I refused to invest on the NUC ponzi scheme didn't last upto two weeks and it crash. Any investment that you will send someone your money and he promise to pay 20% or 30% of your money weekly or monthly, just know that it's a scam, you will not invest your money if you don't want to lose it.

[Felicity_Tide]

One thing I've come to notice, especially among people in this part of the world_{(although it's a general thing)}, is that people barely share financial information that they've profited from with others. People prefer to withhold real financial information that could actually be beneficial, while sharing the scrappy ones with others. A lot of Nigerians still haven't learnt a thing from all these 'invest and get a reward' schemes. There's literally no sane person out there who would double up your money for free. People are actually looking for ways to steal from others and not give things away for free.

[Abdulzuruku01]

Naso e be oo and some people dey always blame am for the country say the country wey spoil na em cause all these things but na lie. Country spoil no mean say make you go dey chase money without common sense na. Greed na the main reason why so many people dey fall victim to scam, some na ignorance but some dey even know say na scam but Dem just dey careless and just wan make money by all means. E get some scam format you go see you sef go know say na scam, everything go just dey too good to be real. No be ignorance dey do Nigerians again because they already know, na just greed and carelessness.

Na true you talk so, dey get some scams wey person no even need to tell you but some Nigerians with dere greediness dem go dey see am as opportunity to make fast fast money. Even this NERC wey Federal Government dey give 50k people don dey use am scam people. I watch video of one woman for TikTok wey she dey cry say dem dupe am and with di way she dey take narrate am, honestly I no pity her because I no understand why anything wey dey concern money people go just dey desperate to put dere money. Instead of dem to dey verify am, dem no go wan do. Iswear If dem no wake up to learn hand go dey meet dem every time.

This is the reason why a beginner need to learn some certain things before they venture into this crypto space, because a beginner who is new to crypto May not know that their wallets can easily get hacked through all this phishing links they shared in the media. Some sees it very common especially those beginner who are not academically sound, I believe those who are educated will have the ability to figure out some scamming strategies even without being told, but even at that I think every beginners need to be giving some orientation as that would help them and also keep them safe from scammers.

My people no be only for Nigeria Sha because na just normal trend for the whole world as scammers no dey ever rest and if you dey greedy then for sure you go must enter their trap if their works reach your side.

As for this free 50k wey government dey give, bro if I tell you the kind spam messages wey I receive ehn only that same day, omo e be like say e no wan end and most of those links sef fit be phishing link but as so many gullible and greedy people go still wan claim the cash no matter what.
