Hello guys I know you haven’t heard from me from quite some time now. It wasn’t my sole decision to stay away. But as individuals we all have our own demons to battle and things to take care of at home. I witnessed something that I believe most of my fellow bothers and sisters are doing in bide to make quick money.

Just recently, most of my friends sometime back introduced were introduced to a site where you gain daily profit of about 7% of your invested capital. All you need ti do is to deposit above $30 USDT and follow the instructions of the forecaster. Little did they know that it was all a scam a way for people to reap your off your money. It is of this reason why I think it’s best for us to know and spot these scams.

How can we know if it’s a scam??, with most of these websites they have no known CEO. or the team members are anonymous. When you come across such websites it’s best not to invest in them for it is created with the mindset of scamming people.

The second thing you need to do is, do more research on the website before you go into it. Research you do may include, the day and date of its creation, has the website been attacked before or have it been repeatedly reported as a scam (previews from other valid users).

When the website or platform as you to store your asset in wallets either than trusted exchanges like Binance, Poloniex, Houbi pro, Trust wallet and co. Then it’s most likely to be a scam platform or website.

How do they work?? Their mode of operation is quite Simple, what they do is to gain the trust of the public by first delivering on their promise by giving out the percentage of profit they promised. We the individuals become so much excited that we want more (which is normal for every being). By increasing the capital invested and that’s when they will run away with your money.

There are a lot of these platforms around I get referrals from most of my friends and then I tell them not do invest in it. Am sure if they what taken lessons from the CryptoAcademy they would know how to spot them. Thank you for your time.

Unfortunately, people get caught up in this always. I think it’s best to control our greed too. Too much promises is just smoke and some claims are just too much.

Thank you for this light

The most painful aspect is most of the victims take loans from banks and other people only to be scammed which is very bad.

There is no doubt about the fact that a lot of these scam apps are in circulation.

Just like you, I have also received several invite and as it stands now I have not joined any. Currently I have one that my friend has invested in but I doubt if is legit. Per my research it seem cool but I still do not believe it. The like is below can you also do some search on it and let me and the general steemit team to be aware?
