Profit because of the oil crisis?
If you click on the link in this article, you will be taken to a fake page of the BILD newspaper, which you can also see from the URL, i.e. “smartenius.com…” which reports on an episode of “Lion’s Den”. should not be broadcast.

This report describes a simple way to quickly make a 5- or 6-figure profit with a small investment of 250 euros. This is supposed to work with software that would have been presented in the “Lion’s Den”. Again and again there is a link to another website where this software can be found. If you follow this link, you can first register (name, email address and telephone number) in order to finally land on a Bitcoin trading platform.
By the way, the link is very intrusive and can be found over and over again in the text. All other links on the fake BILD page such as “Imprint”, “About”, “Data Protection”, etc. also lead to that registration.
What happens when you invest?
According to experience reports, if you follow the instructions and provide your details, you will receive a call to clarify everything else. Anyone who invests money quickly makes their first profits and is sometimes encouraged to make further investments in order to achieve higher profits more quickly.
Paying out the winnings later usually turns out to be impossible. In this context, users report demands for money that are necessary in order to be able to initiate payouts. For example, a user states that he has almost 600,000 euros in the platform's account. In order to transfer the profits, a payment of almost 10,000 euros to the platform is necessary. Here, for example, tax regulations or similar are used as a pretext.
Anyone who complies with the requests will also lose this money because the winnings do not exist. Caution is also advised when transmitting identification documents, because if they fall into the wrong hands, they can be used for further crimes under someone else's identity.
What can victims do?
Experience has shown that money transferred to dubious platforms is lost. We therefore advise you to contact your own bank as quickly as possible and initiate a chargeback of the amounts. Unfortunately, the chances of success are extremely low.
Conclusion
This is a bait that leads to a Bitcoin trap. The oil crisis is used here as a pretext or “opportunity”. But this is all about online trading with binary options - although a lot of knowledge and experience is necessary to actually make big money. In addition, such platforms do not pay out profits to users, rarely or only partially.
