The promise is that you can easily earn 7,000 euros per day from home on the oil trading platform “Oil Profit”. But our cooperation partner Watchlist Internet urges caution: The news article is fictitious and the trading platform is operated by criminals. As an investor you will only lose your money here!
“ Lion’s Den” makes German citizens rich with oil! The episode is not allowed to be broadcast – the broadcaster is angry! – With this headline, criminals are trying to lure potential victims to the “Oil Profit” (“expect-offers”) platform.
What's behind the headline?
The alleged BILD article claims that just 250 euros in starting capital is enough to earn 7,000 euros a day with “Oil Profit” – a product that was supposedly presented in the program “Lion’s Den”.
“The idea is simple: Allow the average citizen to benefit from the Corona-related fluctuations in the price of oil - even if there is no money for an investment or no know-how,” the article continues. The platform was tested live on the show and it worked so well that the “Lions” decided not to broadcast the show and thus not make the product known to the general public. The BILD editor then tried out the platform himself and earned and was paid out several thousand euros within a week. His conclusion: He recommends everyone to test the site. These are the claims in the alleged BILD article.
And what is really behind the headline?
Anyone who comes across this alleged news article on the Internet may be tempted to invest themselves. After all, it sounds very tempting and 250 euros in starting capital is not a big risk for many people. But criminals are actually trying to lure victims to a fraudulent trading platform. The alleged BILD article is intended to inspire just as much trust as the well-known television program “Lion’s Den”.
Anyone who registers on the fraudulent trading platform is usually contacted by telephone to discuss how to proceed. Experience reports also show that high profits are quickly faked. But this is also just a scam used by criminals and is intended to encourage further investments. Watchlist Internet repeatedly reports on similar fraudulent platforms where investments are made in cryptocurrencies. Those affected report great financial damage as they are persuaded to invest more and more or have to make payments before they receive their winnings.
How to recognize the fraud!
- Invented news article: The fact that this is a BILD article may seem trustworthy at first glance. Anyone who takes a closer look will quickly realize that criminals are at work here. The site only imitates the German daily newspaper. You are actually on the website “secondjoblerflow.webnode” and not on bild.de!
- Unrealistic promises of profits: If incredible profits are promised in a very short time and with small investments, you should be careful.
- Missing imprint: Anyone who follows the links in the news article ends up on the “expect-offers” website, where you can supposedly invest. Here, too, it's worth taking a closer look, as there is no information on the site about who is behind the company!
Have you invested?
Anyone who has already invested should not allow themselves to be put under pressure by the alleged financial advisors and under no circumstances should they make any further deposits. Instead, report it to the police and discuss what to do next. You can also contact your credit card company. Although the chances of success are slim, try to get your money back.
