Is it actually a Mirror article because it looks fake? It uses the branding of the Mirror but has a different web address.

Just asking what peeps make of it, has all the looks of a pyramid scheme and a scam from my point of view.

Then again, online currencies are something I stay well away from.

It's 100% a scam.

That is my perspective, I thought it would be obvious, guess I should have worded the initial post better but most peeps here are clever enough anyways.

I find it curious though, how peeps can be scammed to invest in anything that does not actually exist, I know greed is a powerful thing but I'd be surprised if there are not a fair few who have invested, (lost,) a few hundred quid on this and like wise other similar ventures.

Maybe asking for small amounts lowers peeps guards over so called potential profits?

Then again, it makes you wonder how much work they put into this and where they might be based.

People are stupid. And people have always been stupid. It's how people can believe an email from a Nigerian Prince, or a flashy "YOU'VE WON!" sign on the internet. As soon as free money is mentioned, people forget everything else.

Don’t be silly, look at this direct quote from Debra Meaden.

 

“I'm still in shock, I deposited £180 live on the show, and it immediately returned a £73.18 profit after just 3 minutes. That is the biggest and fastest return I've ever seen after 3 minutes. This thing is legit.” - Deborah Meaden

I think that is an over simplification, everyone can be stupid sometime, though some more than others, desperation and greed are what I think lowers peeps guards.

Guess I'm a bit bored and I find scams an interesting topic.
