When is a scam not a scam?

The game continues

I'm still in the game with Bit-coin247.com. What started as an experiment on how to get scammed intentionally has actually turned into a maybe this thing is for real. This week I continue to increase my holding of capital. Each morning I will receive a text from my personal trader Brian with what trades to make and what time to close them. It has been pretty consistent gains of around £12 per day.

I know the markets are on the up and up and so that may have something to do with it but I am still very sceptical about this whole thing, especially the numbers.

Without telling Brian I decided to withdraw my original investment of $50 dollars and see if it would actually show up back in my wallet. To my surprise, it did and I will admit I felt a bit more comfortable about continuing the experiment. To me, my money was already gone but now it was back.

Brian called and asked how is my account doing. I told him I had removed the money. He said he was happy I had done so as it was one of his original suggestions when we started out. He asked how did I want to proceed and gave me three different plans something like this.

They have a plan for that

Silver plan - 5 trades per day with a min £80. This would pull in £400 per day £2000 per week £8000 per month

I would need to lodge £5000 capital

Gold plan - 5 trades per day £160 Per day profit £800 per week which would be about £16000 month

Total capital required £10000

Pros account plan - 8 trades a day working out at around 1500 per day £7000 per week
£30000 per month

This one would require £25000 capital

These numbers sound unbelievable and yes I don't believe them. Nobody can be that exact about the markets but I let him go through it all and feigned interest. I knew in the back of my mind that even if I had these resources at my disposal It would take a lot more confidence for me to decide to send it to this Website which has no other info on Google except the link to their the site.

But just for shits and giggles, I thought I would put back my original investment and increase it by $50 bringing what I put in to a total of $100. I can afford to play with this amount because the overall markets are doing quite well and my portfolio can take the hit.

I told Brian that it was all a matter of trust and I would slowly add more when I feel more confident. But I was blunt and said that the money he was talking about was not in my wheelhouse. He didn't pressure me and I am happy to continue this little game for a while longer.

Now my total assets are £192 or $256, so that is over 2 and a half times what I started out with.

Here are my trades from last week. The last two were duplicate trades which I cancelled. But as you can see it's been going up and up.

Going forward

So, where do I go from here? I think I will let it play out a little longer and then remove my original investment and just play the house's money. Let's see what happens.

My original intention was to fund this experiment through the upvotes I got on these posts but so far it has been slim picking. If you want to help out you know what to do.

I still believe there is some sort of scam going on and don't want anyone else taking the same actions like me. This is not financial advice, if anything it is what not to do.
