Some weeks ago, I told two of my friends about bitcoin and how to use it, I tried to devote my time for them. The two of them like bitcoin they were interested. I opened electrum wallet for them. After some weeks, it was even yesterday, a friend of mine contacted me using Whatsapp, he told me what he saw online, that it is even possible to double bitcoin online. He wanted to double his bitcoin, I told him that it can be a scam that he should send me the link.

The website want people to deposit a minimum amount of 0.002 bitcoin to a maximum of 10 bitcoin, that in 10 hours the bitcoin will double. I told him immediately not to do it that it is a scam. I would have blamed myself for telling my friends about bitcoin, but I was happy because he did not send his bitcoin but told me about it before doing anything. But why are scam very obvious now, some are even having domain and nothing done about it. Is it because cryptocurrencies are not regulated the way it suppose to be or this is just how the world is?.
I guess it's easy to make this kind of website and then just wait for someone or newbies that don't have enough knowledge in bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
They just need to wait for people to fall in their trap, when I was first starting in bitcoin I always want to invest in this kind of websites hoping to an easy profit but just end to be a small companies scam.
There are always a lot of opportunities for them to scam and I guess they really earning a big profit in scamming people that's is why they are not stopping to this kind of method, some people intentionally invested in the websites since you could easily earn at some point when you have a lot of referral in the websites, a lot of people are just getting encouraged by someone they don't know to invest.
