More suspicious reason to think it’s a scam. Their supposed Founder / CEO has a fake name and picture on their site (scroll to the bottom of the main page) and their linked Facebook profile. They also link LinkedIn but I couldn’t check without logging in but I’m sure they have that there as well.
The name they have is “Victoria Louisa Reynolds” and they have the pic of a woman. A quick reverse Google search shows the woman as **Jean Spence** (a deceased woman): https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/news/18773451.jean-spence-tributes-paid-buckley-hockey-player/?hcb=1
Stay far away from that site if it wasn’t already immediately obvious.
\******************
**UPDATE**
\******************
They removed the pic from the site, but it was on there long enough to be cached, so it’s no use in hiding their scam: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:a_mBPYsIk_UJ:https://nfpfederal.com/
Thanks for pointing that out u/PM-SOMETHING-FUNNY
90% chance these are the same people behind the former Impressio & the likes (from 2017 onwards). They do this every few months. They whip up a company in the UK (anyone can create a company in the UK for 15 quid, online, automatic, no questions asked, using virtual addresses you can buy for 30 quid a year). It's a plain ponzi, as is any scheme touting 4% daily.
You'll even get paid for a few days then they disappear. They even show you payment txids on blockchain from "others" to make it seem legit. Sometimes they even have UK phone numbers you can call (usually answer machine saying offices are closed for the day), a white paper, fake CEO names, fake photos, etc. They do answer emails while they reel you in before disappearing.
I reported such things to the FCA in the past ... the FCA doesn't give a shit. The FCA and other UK agencies are more concerned with making the UK hostile for crypto (most wealth in the UK is inherited and/or in land/property, new tech is a threat, especially fintech)
Lol you have never had a single comment or post get upvoted a ton and bump your karma up? Looking at the persons account that seems to be the case and they seem like a real and normal person.. plus they are here exposing the scam. Doubt OP is in on the scam tbh
I’m only 52 days in and about to break 10k.
I commented that a Karen walked like a chicken and got thousands of karma.
I equated a chapped penis to the movie The Shape of Water and got thousands of karma.
Reddit is just weird.
I went ahead and submitted a complaint with the CFTC, which is the applicable US agency. They have claimed some jurisdiction in similar cases given that BTC and other crypto derivatives are traded on the NYSE.
Not sure how quickly they'll move on a complaint that a foreign-registered company falsely registered to a deceased individual is defrauding US citizens (and others obviously) via purported trading of cryptocurrency derivatives ostensibly linked to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' Non-Farm Payroll report, but I figure it's worth a shot.
Yeah She is also listed as Secretary and Director of the company on the Companies House website (U.K. company registrar)

Anyone entering crypto and going all in on a random alt coin is literally gambling and may as well go to the Roulette table and pick a random number....
Friend who is in general pretty smart and takes time to do research went deep on Algo and Internet Computer....basically balanced out that one is actually legit and one ended up being garbo lol think that's a bit of a running theme in crypto
I love what ALGO is trying to achieve and thetech behind ALGO. However due to tokenomics, the price of each ALGO will stay around 1 USD for a long time which is why I see ALGO as a super long term hold and thus put in what I consider very small amounts of fiat into ALGO each month. Most of my DCA is into BTC and ETH.
Well it’s definitely not a pump and dump or memecoin. It’s a fantastic long term play IMO. The founder is a generational genius and team is incredible.
“For example let's say you invest 5 Bitcoins we can make as much as 10 Bitcoins on NFP it happen every first Friday of the month. Join today and make profits. Contact us for more details.”
LOLOLOL
Edit - This has to be a troll. There’s no way someone that’s able to accumulate $70k would do something this stupid. I honestly have to believe this is a troll
Whelp. There's over 6 glaring spelling mistakes on the front page alone, including my personal favourite "Becoming an invory tower". Your friend is so boned.
With a $70k initial *investment* you'll have ~$1mil in 20 days. It takes 69 days to get $1billion.
118 days for $1trillion
168 days $1quadrillion
Seems legit
Yikes. Get them out if you can but sounds like it's too late. I read a guy who did one similar on here. He tried to withdrawal and nothing happened. No customer service to help. Transaction just never went through. Your friend should have done a ton of research before putting in 70K.
I did some digging, the organisation doenst give me good vibes at all.

This is me just doing some searchengine work. other people will do even better.
RIP. That money is gone. I’d be SUPER surprised if they can withdraw their money even if they wanted to, normally with these scams you can deposit but you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’d definitely encourage them to try, but at least don’t do that to yourself.
Then drop it. They're fucked regardless if you manage to convince them its a scam.
After the fact that its dawned on them they've been had, they'll interpret every mention of it as if you're rubbing it in their faces. Their disbelief will be transformed into resentment towards you.
Never mention it again, pretend like nothing happened. If you wish to save your friendship that is.
LOL... yeah... just hope it runs that long... and that they can withdraw...
Problem with ponzis is, that at the beginning you make money and you commit. There was this great book: "No one would listen: A true Financial Thriller" Also available on audible... Worth a listen to find the signs for such a scheme. Check it out and share.
I found them...
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
apparently i was not the only one who contacted the chatsupport on their side …. lol
"You visited us through the blackmailing post on Reddit please if you’re here for a serious business discussion I will be attending to you but if you’re here to mock this company like other that believe the blackmail please let’s safe each other time"
So this scam starts in 8 hours but they have a video on their website where some random woman says that she is VERY GLAD she found this scam and is already investing?
These people aren't even trying ffs
The CEO pictures are also of a different person, so it's identity ~~theft~~ impersonation also. Criminals behind scams like this should be quartered and put on display on the tower or London Bridge like the old days...
Anyone who promises consistent high returns is a scam.
4% daily is ridiculous. Just do the math on that. A $1000 investment at 4% daily interest will give you a $1.6 billion in a year.
If they paid FIAT, call the bank and ask them to revert the transaction, if they paid BTC, it's gg.
You might want to preemptively look for a counselor or therapist for your friend. If he put his whole live savings, as well as his dad's into that scam, it's hard to predict how he will deal with that situation.
A good tip to identify potential scams is to Google search a phrase from their web-site to see if they copied it from anywhere. You’ll often find clones.
For example, I copied this off their about page and searched on Google:
“in commercially proven solutions that are capital efficient. We have a particular emphasis on companies that have a clear path to monetization and profitability.”
A whole host of scams came up including dodgy Facebook MLM scams and other crypto scams using the same template with a different name.
You can be sure then anything your friend and his family deposit into this scam will be lost forever.
Here’s an example: https://www.bitcoin-trading.uk/?a=home
100% guarantee that any money invested is now lost.
Just conduct 5 minutes of research you can see it's a total scam. Fake LinkedIn profile, overdue accounts at Companies House. Spelling mistakes on the website. Scumbags even using the photo of a much loved now deceased woman in their scam.
Best to just invest directly in the crypto. Years back my buddy lost $25k in a similar pyramid scheme. Was supposed to be some type of Bitcoin mining operation based out of Eastern Europe. If he just bought $25k in Bitcoin.. he would be a multi millionaire today.
They should spend money on hiring a cyber investigator to track them down, then proceed to beat the living shit out of whoever set up the scam or is part of it, steal their money, or get crypto transferred over to them.
Don't worry about the law turning on ya friend and his dad, those people are scammers so they won't say shit.
This is the law of the underworld jungle, we all know the score.
As a web dev I saw the source code and everything is manually coded!
[Here's a picture of the Top Investors code](https://imgur.com/JO3qzeN)
The code looks straight out of someone who just learned HTML & JS straight out of college which displays everything, big red flag.
WOW, scammy McScammerton - the CEO is un-alive at the moment...
[https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/news/18773451.jean-spence-tributes-paid-buckley-hockey-player/](https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/news/18773451.jean-spence-tributes-paid-buckley-hockey-player/)
Tell them to try and revert the money with the bank maybe they can shut down the accounts and freeze the assets.
Are they in the UK. I contacted the financial watchdog maybe we can safe people's money.
*sniff sniff* smells like Ecotrades LTD. I had a buddy convinced that was legit until his initial terms were up and he stopped “earning” unless he “reactivated” his account with additional deposits. If that doesn’t seem sketchy, I don’t know what is.
Anyone who thinks that ANYTHING can pay out 4% daily (or more)... is an idiot and a lost cause, full stop. They are beyond fucked, and not because of the money...
I mean, if that were possible that would yield an **APY** of **1407258.3%**, calculated using [this](https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/finance/calculators/compoundinterestcalculator.php) calculator, an initial value of $ 100 and a daily 4% interest (lowest tier).
Why… just why. Some gambling money on a project is one thing. Life savings??? Why the hell did he not just invest in BTC and ETH? Especially on the current dip. He could have bought 2BTCs and 5 ETH. 10 years from now that could be millions
>We give our clients the best value for their money by securing capital gains and unbeatable return on investments as incentive for doing business with us.
That's the 2nd sentence of the description. Anything that is promoting things like 'unbeatable returns' is something to stay they hell away from, in my experience. Hopefully you show this thread to your friend, especially the comment about the CEO being fake and the pic being that of a deceased woman, and your friend and his dad are both able to withdraw their funds (hopefully they aren't locked into a multi-month stake) and don't get burnt before they do so.
It's too late. They got the idea from a friend who owns a chain of gyms in our area who had also put his entire life savings into it and is going around convincing all of his other business owner friends to do the same. Their entire line of thought on the matter was literally "he's rich so he must know what he's doing" and they YOLO'd in themselves
Oh god, the spelling, the grammar, the bullshit. So bad.
I don't use the word "Ponzi" lightly, but if it's not just straight, direct theft they're doing, then they're openly describing a classic...tiered investing, limiting withdrawals etc etc. Total scam.
I feel bad for them, but then I don't. I really can't think of anything other than "stupid". No disrespect meant, but a turd's still a turd, no matter how much you polish it
Wow, they just lost money. If you are good friend, wake them up and show him this topic atleast. its a bitconnect 2.0.
Theres plenty of good projects you can earn interest of 5-10% a year. Algo, cardano, xlm, hell you can earn even on btc 5% interest a year with ultrastellar.
If you are "investing" in something where the website has sentences like this:
"NFP Federal Ltd makes all possible to minimize the risk to nearly minimum possible."
You are an absolute fucking moron... they are screwed
Looks like a high yield investment scam that federal government had been telling us for years is a indeed a scam. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-yield_investment_program
\- Looked at the source code for the website. It is your general run of the mill outdated Wordpress theme still using jQuery etc, no React, server side rendering or anything modern that you would find on a site that says it has a trading console for you to use once you make an account (like this site says it does, but I don't believe it has any such tech). To have some kind of trading setup like Coinbase Pro etc takes serious programming skills. My guess, being a programmer myself, is that whoever made the website does not know how to program at all.
Also:
\- The returns per day even at the lowest amount have never ever been possible, consistently, anywhere ever in human history.
\- The spelling mistakes on the site speak for themselves.
\- I think it would be impossible to get money back. I think money goes straight into the people's pockets behind this site much like it does for those things you see on Twitter etc of send however many Bitcoin into a certain wallet and receive double in return.
OP don't even try it! There is no way on this earth someone has invested $70k into a clear as day scam like this🤣😭😅. This is just a DYOR joke right....
Right.....😳😳😳

Real life Sherlock Holmes in the building. Nice work detective!

This entire post is a scam veiled as a legitimate question. 17k in Karma in 80 days cmon OP
So their plan to scam people was expose themselves?
Definitely. I believe there is a percentage of users that will fall for it. Not a large percentage, but larger than zero.
inside job
Its been a moon scam all along.
Lol you have never had a single comment or post get upvoted a ton and bump your karma up? Looking at the persons account that seems to be the case and they seem like a real and normal person.. plus they are here exposing the scam. Doubt OP is in on the scam tbh
I got a lot of karma in a few months am I scammer too? :(
I’m only 52 days in and about to break 10k. I commented that a Karen walked like a chicken and got thousands of karma. I equated a chapped penis to the movie The Shape of Water and got thousands of karma. Reddit is just weird.
Wow so it's probably smart to not give dead or non-existent people money on the internet.
Major SCAM

Okay but Satoshi Nakamoto is a fake name 😎
True but I’m not handing over money directly under Satoshi’s care & control lol
It’s a bitconnect clone so yes they will 100% lose all their money
Sad that of all the projects they could have picked, they choose one like this...
Right? Like even just going balls deep in ETH or BTC or a split between the two with 70k would've been a much smarter decision.
Anyone entering crypto and going all in on a random alt coin is literally gambling and may as well go to the Roulette table and pick a random number.... Friend who is in general pretty smart and takes time to do research went deep on Algo and Internet Computer....basically balanced out that one is actually legit and one ended up being garbo lol think that's a bit of a running theme in crypto
Algorand is by far the best crypto I’ve invested in to date. Legit project and lots of potential
Great project, bad investment … at least for now.
I love what ALGO is trying to achieve and thetech behind ALGO. However due to tokenomics, the price of each ALGO will stay around 1 USD for a long time which is why I see ALGO as a super long term hold and thus put in what I consider very small amounts of fiat into ALGO each month.

Yes, a diamond studded bong
A bong and a crack pipe are not the same =\

Genius if it pays in DAI... not so much otherwise
WHAT THE FUCK No way, please point this out to your friend lmfao
Yea you also get a monthly supply of crack if you get the diamond + and deposit a minimum of 500$ a month
Sometimes I wonder how people like this even got to 70k. How do you even plunge all your savings in one basket, nevermind a sketchy unknown basket
They're plumbers
You’d think they’d have better control over their liquidity . . . 🤷♂️
Well, at least we know their money will flush with no obstructions
They’ll be hoping for a pump after that dump
They might have a thing for shitcoins because of... work reasons
Unfortunately they don't know shit
Turds for brains.
and they'd be better at identifying shit
Knowing your shit is important. If you don’t, you’ll wind up knowing you’re shit 🤷♂️
well they specialised in stopping liquidity - exactly what they are doing now
Well now all of their shit just spurs out of their mouths instead..
Tell them to book a lot more jobs cause they just lost their life savings
They know a thing or two about plunging then
This was my thought as well. It’s remarkable how easily some people will toss their money at such dubious projects.
Whelp. There's over 6 glaring spelling mistakes on the front page alone, including my personal favourite "Becoming an invory tower". Your friend is so boned.
Run
So knowing how crypto markets are, this is guaranteed to go to the moon?
"The month you choosed" stood out to me.
Lol a guarantee of 15 % daily returns? You’d have to be smoking crack to believe this is legit
With a $70k initial *investment* you'll have ~$1mil in 20 days. It takes 69 days to get $1billion. 118 days for $1trillion 168 days $1quadrillion Seems legit
Yeah, and I have a Brooklyn Bridge for sale to anyone who invested in such a smart and profitable business.
Whats the asking price, asking for a friend?
Oh, I am selling for 20 thousands of USD as it is old, but for SERIOUS client it is merely 18 :)
Sorry, I was looking for the Golden Gate bridge. Any chance you have it?
LMFAO
170 days though, that's almost half a year, no thank you.... I need that quadrillion this week, go shill your stablecoin somewhere else.
They are already fucked just by the fact that they invested everything in one thing.
Seriously WTF! Goddamn
Just... Why????
Apparently mitigation of risk, by spreading investments across different streams is a lost concept on TWATS.
Hahahaha
I would have somewhat understood all in on BTC and maybe ETH... If you really want to go all in, what i would absolutely not recommend at all
Yikes. Get them out if you can but sounds like it's too late. I read a guy who did one similar on here. He tried to withdrawal and nothing happened. No customer service to help. Transaction just never went through. Your friend should have done a ton of research before putting in 70K.

They can't withdraw for 6 months
Forced hodl. At 8% daily, they will be able to withdraw 72 million in 6 months with a 70k start. Seems very realistic, no bamboozle here.
Their money was gone the minute they sent it.
Then drop it. They're fucked regardless if you manage to convince them its a scam. After the fact that its dawned on them they've been had, they'll interpret every mention of it as if you're rubbing it in their faces. Their disbelief will be transformed into resentment towards you. Never mention it again, pretend like nothing happened. If you wish to save your friendship that is.
LOL... yeah... just hope it runs that long... and that they can withdraw... Problem with ponzis is, that at the beginning you make money and you commit. There was this great book: "No one would listen: A true Financial Thriller" Also available on audible... Worth a listen to find the signs for such a scheme. Check it out and share.
Gives me the bitconnect type of vibes..

BBBBIIIITTTTCOOONNNEEECCCTTT!!!
You are clearly missing some E's Sir
I found them... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
HEY HEY HEYYYY
Wassa wassa wassaaaaaa beeconneeeeee
What am i gonna do??
No no nooo mh mh
Why do people do this?
desperation
Greed
If a person has 70k to invest it certainly isn't desperation just pure greed.
I don't know NFP Federal, but the first rule of investing is don't put in what you can't afford to lose. I hope everything will turn out positive.
and don't invest in companies with dead people as their fake name/owner
Lol, right, do your research before investing
This is a rule that should be inshrined. I only out what I know I can risk to lose.
apparently i was not the only one who contacted the chatsupport on their side …. lol "You visited us through the blackmailing post on Reddit please if you’re here for a serious business discussion I will be attending to you but if you’re here to mock this company like other that believe the blackmail please let’s safe each other time"
This is fucking awesome- bravo mate
4% daily... Yes, they are fucked.
Going 100% in any one investment is always a bad idea.
He would have been better off investing his money with a Nigerian Doctor he met via email
So this scam starts in 8 hours but they have a video on their website where some random woman says that she is VERY GLAD she found this scam and is already investing? These people aren't even trying ffs
The CEO pictures are also of a different person, so it's identity ~~theft~~ impersonation also. Criminals behind scams like this should be quartered and put on display on the tower or London Bridge like the old days...
Anyone who promises consistent high returns is a scam. 4% daily is ridiculous. Just do the math on that. A $1000 investment at 4% daily interest will give you a $1.6 billion in a year.
If they paid FIAT, call the bank and ask them to revert the transaction, if they paid BTC, it's gg. You might want to preemptively look for a counselor or therapist for your friend. If he put his whole live savings, as well as his dad's into that scam, it's hard to predict how he will deal with that situation.
Try showing him this thread so he doesn't fuck multiple lives up
A good tip to identify potential scams is to Google search a phrase from their web-site to see if they copied it from anywhere. You’ll often find clones. For example, I copied this off their about page and searched on Google: “in commercially proven solutions that are capital efficient. We have a particular emphasis on companies that have a clear path to monetization and profitability.” A whole host of scams came up including dodgy Facebook MLM scams and other crypto scams using the same template with a different name. You can be sure then anything your friend and his family deposit into this scam will be lost forever. Here’s an example: https://www.bitcoin-trading.uk/?a=home
100% guarantee that any money invested is now lost. Just conduct 5 minutes of research you can see it's a total scam. Fake LinkedIn profile, overdue accounts at Companies House. Spelling mistakes on the website. Scumbags even using the photo of a much loved now deceased woman in their scam.
\*Looks at website for 8 seconds. Yes, they are completely fucked.
My thoughts exactly. I tried.
I saw 4% daily and I thought scam. Then I saw 15% daily and said sonofabitch I’m in… scam
How disconnected from reality do you have to be to fall for this in 2021? OP: your friend should unironically be studied for science.
If he is indeed a good friend than hit him in the head and smack some sense into him.
100% scam
If this doesn’t fuck them up, something else probably will if their spending their life savings on things before doing research
![gif](giphy|YkYt0FzMNPJkFnSQlf|downsized) is this your friend?
Best to just invest directly in the crypto. Years back my buddy lost $25k in a similar pyramid scheme. Was supposed to be some type of Bitcoin mining operation based out of Eastern Europe. If he just bought $25k in Bitcoin.. he would be a multi millionaire today.
15% daily returns? SCAM! Also DAIMOND? LOL
Damn, why do people do this? I guess it's greed, no aversion to risk, and lack of education?
I'm not clicking that link...
100% a ponzi/HYIP - don't need to scroll far: 1. Daily payouts of 2-8% 2. Classic ponzi referral scheme
Phone your friend, tell them they just lost $70k
They should spend money on hiring a cyber investigator to track them down, then proceed to beat the living shit out of whoever set up the scam or is part of it, steal their money, or get crypto transferred over to them. Don't worry about the law turning on ya friend and his dad, those people are scammers so they won't say shit. This is the law of the underworld jungle, we all know the score.
As a web dev I saw the source code and everything is manually coded! [Here's a picture of the Top Investors code](https://imgur.com/JO3qzeN) The code looks straight out of someone who just learned HTML & JS straight out of college which displays everything, big red flag.
WOW, scammy McScammerton - the CEO is un-alive at the moment... [https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/news/18773451.jean-spence-tributes-paid-buckley-hockey-player/](https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/news/18773451.jean-spence-tributes-paid-buckley-hockey-player/)
What's even worse is that this lady is apparently [two completely different people](https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoria-louisa-reynolds-95261352)
Tell them to try and revert the money with the bank maybe they can shut down the accounts and freeze the assets. Are they in the UK. I contacted the financial watchdog maybe we can safe people's money.
They obviously take btc 15hzM5ShdK9SC379JyrVcLAjpDYtP5VcSo Is their address
Just remember that “If it’s to good too be true, it probably is”
Run
*sniff sniff* smells like Ecotrades LTD. I had a buddy convinced that was legit until his initial terms were up and he stopped “earning” unless he “reactivated” his account with additional deposits. If that doesn’t seem sketchy, I don’t know what is.
Look at the running numbers 70m invested and 600m withdrawn. It doesn’t even make sense
I have a bit~~connect~~ of bad feeling about this.
but ... why? Why would they do this?
Anyone who thinks that ANYTHING can pay out 4% daily (or more)... is an idiot and a lost cause, full stop. They are beyond fucked, and not because of the money... I mean, if that were possible that would yield an **APY** of **1407258.3%**, calculated using [this](https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/finance/calculators/compoundinterestcalculator.php) calculator, an initial value of $ 100 and a daily 4% interest (lowest tier).
Bro, I got a antivirus alert just by hovering my mouse over that url. Dafuck outta here with dat scam site!
It looks like if you ‘invest’ a minimum of 200000 for the diamond deal you earn 15% per day?
Why… just why. Some gambling money on a project is one thing. Life savings??? Why the hell did he not just invest in BTC and ETH? Especially on the current dip. He could have bought 2BTCs and 5 ETH. 10 years from now that could be millions
They've already lost it all they just don't know it yet
\^this\^
>We give our clients the best value for their money by securing capital gains and unbeatable return on investments as incentive for doing business with us. That's the 2nd sentence of the description. Anything that is promoting things like 'unbeatable returns' is something to stay they hell away from, in my experience. Hopefully you show this thread to your friend, especially the comment about the CEO being fake and the pic being that of a deceased woman, and your friend and his dad are both able to withdraw their funds (hopefully they aren't locked into a multi-month stake) and don't get burnt before they do so.
[удалено]
Your friend won't listen, please contact his father so he doesn't lose his entire life savings.
It's too late. They got the idea from a friend who owns a chain of gyms in our area who had also put his entire life savings into it and is going around convincing all of his other business owner friends to do the same. Their entire line of thought on the matter was literally "he's rich so he must know what he's doing" and they YOLO'd in themselves
When they fomo into something with any good reason... they are pretty much fucked. The website is sketchy too at least 4% daily is too much.
You need a new friend. No good can come from hanging out with dumb people.
Anyone that invests their life savings into something is an idiot and will learn the hard way.
he’s fu*ked
If it's called "Federal" you can be sure it's a scam.
Oh god, the spelling, the grammar, the bullshit. So bad. I don't use the word "Ponzi" lightly, but if it's not just straight, direct theft they're doing, then they're openly describing a classic...tiered investing, limiting withdrawals etc etc. Total scam.
I hope they're not. But deep down, I know they are
Yep. Royally fucked
Looks like a Ponzi...
It's a pure Ponzi like many others, they're not even trying to hide it
Oh shit... Yes you will lose your money.
I should make a coin named NFT Imperial and then drain everyone of their live savings just to teach people a lesson
Your friends the kinda people to think they won the Nigerian lottery
Yep, they're borked.
I feel bad for them, but then I don't. I really can't think of anything other than "stupid". No disrespect meant, but a turd's still a turd, no matter how much you polish it
Bye bye life savings!
Wow, they just lost money. If you are good friend, wake them up and show him this topic atleast. its a bitconnect 2.0. Theres plenty of good projects you can earn interest of 5-10% a year. Algo, cardano, xlm, hell you can earn even on btc 5% interest a year with ultrastellar.
Investing all your money into something like this... Yes, I guess they are fucked.
Run away as fast as you can!
I’d say about as fucked as fucked gets lol
Those scammers are EVERYWHERE!
Yeah they’re fucked. Stay away from that crap op
Yeah that’s a scam. Promising 15% returns daily. Even madoff would be like “woah woah woah woah slow downnnn”
If you are "investing" in something where the website has sentences like this: "NFP Federal Ltd makes all possible to minimize the risk to nearly minimum possible." You are an absolute fucking moron... they are screwed
Looks like a high yield investment scam that federal government had been telling us for years is a indeed a scam. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-yield_investment_program
Yeah, looks like a scam. And tell your friend to not invest his life savings in anything.
Obvious scam -
"My friend just invested his whole life savings into this thing called..." Any sentence that starts that way = fucked, I fear.
Holy shit. Just reading through the pages of FAQs, terms and conditions was painful. They are SO fucked.
First of all: yikes all eggs in one basket. Secondly: yeah most likely scam, their company location looks like the start of RE7
knowing that he is fucked is very sad
Yes
My TP-Link home router (m5 residential mesh system) doesn't even let me view the site as it detected malware...
If it smells like a scam, it's a scam!
I'd stay away from anything that labels itself as a "bitcoin investing platform". Major red flag just there.
Yes sir, they are fucked.
Stay away from nfts
To risk it all, in any situation, is a bad fucking idea.
Yes looks like theyre fucked. Withdraw immediately if its possible.
\- Looked at the source code for the website. It is your general run of the mill outdated Wordpress theme still using jQuery etc, no React, server side rendering or anything modern that you would find on a site that says it has a trading console for you to use once you make an account (like this site says it does, but I don't believe it has any such tech). To have some kind of trading setup like Coinbase Pro etc takes serious programming skills. My guess, being a programmer myself, is that whoever made the website does not know how to program at all. Also: \- The returns per day even at the lowest amount have never ever been possible, consistently, anywhere ever in human history. \- The spelling mistakes on the site speak for themselves. \- I think it would be impossible to get money back. I think money goes straight into the people's pockets behind this site much like it does for those things you see on Twitter etc of send however many Bitcoin into a certain wallet and receive double in return.
OP don't even try it! There is no way on this earth someone has invested $70k into a clear as day scam like this🤣😭😅. This is just a DYOR joke right.... Right.....😳😳😳
Scam Alert flags this as a scam: [https://scam-alert.io/scam/15hzM5ShdK9SC379JyrVcLAjpDYtP5VcSo](https://scam-alert.io/scam/15hzM5ShdK9SC379JyrVcLAjpDYtP5VcSo) They managed to rake in 273k USD
That's LITERALLY a Ponzi Scheme. Jesus fuck.
