Currently, more and more status posts are being posted on Facebook that contain a “Google code” and lead to Bitcoin spam.

Affiliate partners of various Bitcoin trading sites repeatedly try to guide Facebook users to their site via a “Google code”. The contributors talk about “crazy earnings” and how easy the method is.

The status post is as follows:

My life has changed for the better! A week ago I had no idea about cryptocurrencies and now I earn 400 to 500 euros every day! That's crazy!!! I just had to share it with you!!! If you also want to make money this way, I can recommend a method that I used to learn everything. It's really easy, fun and doesn't take much time! Simply enter this code “DGL279ALX” in the Google search field and click on the first search result. The team is there for you around the clock and will help you with everything

The fact check

We already had a very similar case in May 2019 The text is similar to the requested status post and the method of luring you to a website via code and Google is also the same.

Google actually only spits out two results for this code. The second find is limited to a Facebook entry that contains the requested status post. We click on the first link offered and go to a website that shows a data entry mask. It is a Bitcoin trading website.

Why a code?
The code is used so that the link to the Bitcoin page can only be found “once”. Strictly speaking, it is an affiliate link. This means that if a user finds the Bitcoin trading website via this link, the creator of the affiliate link earns money when they register on the site.

Why not post the link directly?
This can be explained very well using the example from May, because there is a note that is not visible on the homepage, but is partially visible in the Facebook preview. This text can also be viewed via source code on the website.

However, this is not necessary in the current case, because if you scroll all the way down you will find this note:

So it’s not so easy to make “crazy earnings” with it after all.

The crux of the matter with Bitcoin trading
Users who want to get rich with binary options should note that it is not as easy as it is made out to be.

The operators of the trading site not only receive the new customer's personal data, but in most cases - as in this one - require a starting capital of 250 euros. However, a win is still far from guaranteed.

It is a highly speculative method – similar to a bet. The investor is only lured with the argument that he can get rich quickly. In reality, as with stock markets in general, you have to be really knowledgeable in order to make the appropriate profits. So it's not that simple.

The following applies: inform and research, then invest! Otherwise – stay away!
