Get smart and don't be fooled by a financial pyramid
Everywhere in the world someone has been a victim of scams involving financial pyramids, unfortunately many criminals take advantage of the fragility of many people when it comes to money. This affects not only poor people who are barely able to sustain themselves in life but all classes are subject to this type of blow.
In Brazil it seems that this type of crime causes unimaginable proportions when compared to other countries. The Brazilian people are easily deceived by thinking that they are investing in something that will make them a rich person in a very short time. Greed is often the number one villain for people with a weak mind and no firm pulse to avoid this type of investment.
This year because of the pandemic, we can say that it has become much more common for people to be more connected to the virtual world. This is something that benefits any scammer and it is not an exaggeration to say that we have tripled the number of victims compared to the last few years.
The crypto market is no different, we are all subject to taking risks if we do not prepare properly. For example, I started my life in this universe of cryptocurrencies on scam sites, because I simply had no one to help me and thankfully I realized as soon as possible to get out of this life and start treading my own steps with the trade.
You can see that when BTC or any famous alt starts to rise in price, scam sites start to spread at a frantic pace. But it is possible to identify as soon as possible so stay tuned for some important details.
The most famous as we already know is the financial pyramid and this type of scam has existed for thousands of years so it is something that was not created recently and many people earn a lot, but a lot of money from it. Basically it starts with a salesperson who starts by calling people to your network who these people call others to enter further down, but each person who enters this scheme must enter with an initial contribution.
But there comes a time when this system is no longer sustainable and the last people who entered this scheme are at a loss. Be smart if one of the advertisements invites you to come in with promises like:
"Earn money without leaving home"
"Double or triple your money in no time"
"Guaranteed ROI in a very short time"
"30% per month of return"
If you come across any of these phrases be smart not to fall for this scam. In the cryptocurrency market we know that it is a very volatile market and has no guarantee of return. As with any investment, we have its degree of risk and in terms of cryptoactive it is no different.
Financial pyramid is a crime in Brazil and since cryptocurrencies have no regulations, if you have entered into such a scheme it will be practically impossible to see the color of your money again. With cryptos we have the advantage of ourselves managing our own money without needing third parties to generate profits for us.
So be smart and don't be a virtual victim anymore and take good care of your money.
Em toda parte do mundo alguém já foi vítima de golpes envolvendo pirâmides financeiras, infelizmente muitos criminosos se aproveitam da fragilidade de muitas pessoas quando o assunto é dinheiro. Isso atinge não apenas pobres que mal conseguem se sustentar na vida mas todas as classes estão sujeito a sofrer esse tipo de golpe.
No Brasil parece que esse tipo de crime causa proporções inimagináveis se compararmos com os outros países. O povo brasileiro é facilmente ludibriado por achar que está investindo em algo que o fará uma pessoa rica em pouquíssimo tempo. A ganância muito das vezes é o vilão número 1 para as pessoas de mente fraca e sem pulso firme para evitar esse tipo de investimento.
Nesse ano por causa da pandemia, podemos dizer que se tornou muito mais comum as pessoas estarem mais conectadas com o mundo virtual. Isso é algo que beneficia qualquer golpista e não é exagero falar que triplicamos o número de vítimas em comparação com os ultimos anos.
O mercado crypto não é diferente, todos estamos sujeito a correr riscos se não nos prepararmos devidamente. Eu por exemplo comecei minha vida nesse universo das criptomoedas em sites scam, pois simplesmente não tinha ninguém para me auxiliar e ainda bem que percebi o quanto antes para eu sair dessa vida e começar a trilhar meus próprios passos com o trade.
É possível perceber que quando o BTC ou qualquer alt famosa começa a subir de preço, sites scam começam a se espalhar num rítimo frenético. Mas é possível sim identificar o quanto antes então fique atento por alguns detalhes importantes.
O mais famoso como já sabemos é a pirâmide financeira e esse tipo de golpe existe há milhares de anos então é algo que não foi criado recentemente e muitas pessoas ganham muito, mas muito dinheiro com isso. Basicamente começa com um vendedor que começa chamando pessoas para a sua rede que essas pessoas chamam outras para entrar mais abaixo, mas cada pessoa que entra nesse esquema deve entrar com um aporte inicial.
Só que chega um momento que esse sistema não se sustenta mais e as ultimas pessoas que entraram nesse esquema ficam no prejuízo. Fique esperto se em uma das propagandas te convidarem para entrar com promessas como:
"Ganhe dinheiro sem precisar sair de casa"
"Dobre ou triplique seu dinheiro em pouco tempo"
"ROI garantido em pouquíssimo tempo"
"30% por mês de retorno"
Se você se deparar com algumas dessas frases fique esperto para não cair nesse golpe. No mercado das criptooedas sabemos que se trata de um mercado muito volátil e não tem garantia de retorno. Como todo investimento temos o seu grau de risco e nos critpoativos não é diferente.
Pirâmide financeira é crime no Brasil e como as criptomoedas não tem nenhuma regulamentação, caso tenha entrado num esquema desses será praticamente impossível ver novamente a cor do seu dinheiro. Com as cryptos temos a vantagem de nós mesmo gerirmos o nosso próprio dinheiro sem precisar de terceiros para gerar lucros para nós.
Então fique esperto e não seja mais uma vítima virtual e cuide bem do seu dinheiro.

In a country with financial mess where people's livelihood are very poor, it's easy to drag them in into scams like this. In my country it was Ponzi schemes and people just loves it when they're told they can double their money.

It is really tempting for anyone who is in need of money and unfortunately many people easily fall for these scams.

Greed exists everywhere. Most want things quickly and with as little effort as possible. Sadly, that is not how the world works.
Crypto offers opportunities but it does not come without effort, research, and a cost.

You are right, with cryptocurrencies many people see an "easier" chance to get rich but do not know that to achieve a healthy financial balance one must have discipline and not be someone with a weak mind.

Get rich slowly is our motto.
This avoids the short term desire to fall for get rich quick schemes. LBI seeks to grow over time, giving our token holders an outstanding return.

A long-term investment with no pretensions to getting rich quickly is a great way to put our money more safely.
It is always good to know that in Hive blockchain there are excellent investment options. LBI is a great example of this.

I feel that your blog is talking to me directly 😭😭😭😭. I recently entered into one that promises 25% ROI monthly. I decided to take a big risk and my mind has not been at total rest since. Reading this blog gives me the biggest fear.

There are people who know about the risks but still attend these types of schemes. They try to act quickly in order to recover their investment and benefit from the profit until they no longer receive.
Either way, this is a big risk as you can lose all your money and greed is the number one enemy for our conscience.
I hope you can recover your money as soon as possible and avoid this type of "investment". Diversifying is always good but it is best to put our money in places that we really know we are sure of a return.

In Indonesia, many people are fooled because they believe salesperson that offer “big return from asset” and People won’t learn in much time. Those people lost money because lack of knowledge and just want to get rich fast.
Some people message me on Instagram when I posted a story about my investment on LEO and they still wonder why I’m not afraid to lose my money. I just tell them to not believe the salesperson. Be sure to invest in the decentralized platform it will be better

Decentralization is always the best way. Congratulations! You are doing it right.

My favorites are the ones that offer 1 percent daily return. And they try to look legit by setting up multiple British companies. Awareness/education is the only way for people to avoid losing money.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's right, with basic knowledge you can avoid entering these schemes.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Not only greed , there is lack of education is also make part for these scam to exist. In few cases they get "strong word of mouth" by their paid representatives too that are knowingly or unknowingly doing this as they are earning money.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You are absolutely right, without specific knowledge anybody becomes easy prey for this type of scam.

It happens in the Philippines too. But the scams exists for about 3 months before a crackdown of the operations are done by authorities. Then a new scam arises like people never learned from the previous ones. They all use the name crypto and this makes it difficult for mass adaptation here due to negative associations it has to scamming and other shady business.

We need to avoid such promised get fast reach scheme as usually this is falling like a domino. Don't trust in vain promises and understand that you cannot get money out of thin air.

Thank you for this wonderful post @coyotelation. It's very helpful and i'll need to screenshot this post to my friends on other platforms who need to know this truth.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks a lot for this stern warning to stay away from pyramid schemes @coyotelation, and how to spot them, the fact is that many people think all crypto is a scam because they heard of scams like these, and I often have to correct that with people I meet offline, keep up your great work, it's awesome.
