I am constantly amazed by how readily people accept some of the outlandish statements scamsters make. Someone recently told me about Imperia Invest IBC, a deal that is so obviously a scam it would be hilarious if it weren't for the sad fact that people are being duped out of their money. You put up $50 and as soon as they've accumulated 10,000 members ($500,000), they're going to make all kinds of money for you with a traded endowment policy trading foreign currency and using secret offshore banks. Ultimately payouts will be in the billions. After you pay them $50, they're going to loan you $80,000 for your trading account, which will earn 1.2% A DAY guaranteed and compounded. Apparently the Imperia people aren't too good with a financial calculator, but in their example, they say that after six months, your share of the profits will be $134,000. The Web site is written in very awkward English, causing me to assume that it was written by a foreign scamster, maybe one of the notorious Nigerians. However, I've been told that the wording reflects the way deaf people communicate in sign language. In other words, this site is written by someone who knows sign language and is targeting deaf people with this scam. How sad.
I assume, based on the way this is presented, that this is only hitting people up for $50 and once the scammers have as much money as they think they can get, they'll shut down. Of course there could be something else going on---identity theft or a follow-up request for a larger amount of money.
