Hey guys!
I've been seeing these ads all over the place, and they piqued my interest so I did some investigating.
LOL! Seems scammy for sure, but lets just see where this takes us...
I clicked the ad and loaded the page, my heart beating with anticipation. I was hoping no virus would take over my computer or steal my bitcoin.
It seemed to bring me to some kind of strange subscription page. Lets see here.
I looked around the page scanning up and down in an attempt to decipher the paradoxical landing site.
I put in my email and waited for it to come in... Nothing came.
Strange.
I went through my spam, my deleted emails, my favorites, everything. And alas there was no email.
Main inbox:
Spam:
NO EMAIL??! Lol I was execting at least 35 emails by the time I could log in...
So I went to the main page that the landing was on, Crowdability.com
And something seems off.
Notice how it says ALL US citizens can now invest in high risk startups. All. We'll come back to that.
Immediately upon navigating the site you're hit with a constant barrage of pushy newsletter popups.
Now that all the goosebumps on my skin were raised I dived in. I trust NOTHING that is trusted by Forbes. I opened the FAQ, went through their intro videos and started to get a full understanding of the dark magic at work here.
http://www.crowdability.com/faqs
For now, lets wrap our heads around this chilling mystery.
What is this concept of crowdability?
Here's the best infographic I could find explaining it.
Basically they just provide software, information and possible crowdfunding websites to which you should be able to invest in startups. This is, they say, because the JOBS act which made it so NOW EVERY US CITIZEN can invest in startups. Without the JOBS act only an accredited investor (Someone with net worth of 1 MILLION dollars. ) could invest. Seems innocent right?
What is crowdfunding?
By now we've been able to discern that AS OF NOW you no longer have to be an accredited investor to invest in startups, its legal! Thanks JOBS act!
Whats an accredited investor? Someone who has a net worth of $1,000,000 or makes over $300,000/year.
I started easing up on them, they seemed somewhat legit. I was confused. So I navigated away from the FAQ and over to the resources page. http://www.crowdability.com/resources
But the waters get murkier, trust me.
Now, when you get to the resources page it looks pretty good, nothing weird here right? Just a bunch of videos going over all the details that the FAQ left out.
But WAIT! Whats this?
I'm a little confused. I thought that as of now ALL US CITIZENS COULD IVERST ERN STERTURPPSSSS???!
Hmm lets read on for now.
WHAT!? This isn't outright deception is it?? I thought you said anyone can invest?
How much does this cost again???
HAHAHAHA! $499!
Okay, folks I think we're starting to come to a conclusion here. DONT BUY BTC.
Instead learn how SOMEDAY we can MAYBE invest in HIGH RISK startups!
Look guys, lol I'm gonna be honest here. There are people saying that within 5 years BTC will be at $100,000 per coin. If this is correct your investment of only $499 in BTC in 5 years would be EIGHTEEN THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED, AND SIXTY THREE DOLLARS!!! Put that in your high risk account and smoke it.
Lol. Thanks friends I'd stay away from these guys over at crowdability. They're misleading, and there is so much opportunity right now. Don't miss out.
The founders of the site are Matt Milner and Wayne mulligan.
