庞氏骗局
2023-05-24 23:05南非 未能付款的Berry 附属公司受到终止帐户的威胁。还宣布了一项新的“忠诚度计划”,目的是从额外的500 USDT 中骗取易受骗的投资者。 Berry 的忠诚度计划计划于5 月20 日结束。这可能会延长(返现充值的骗局被延长),之后Berry 的网站将被关闭。基本上它归结为收益递减。只要有足够多的易受骗的投资者交出更多资金,Berry 的管理人员就会继续推出新的骗局——主要是因为他们认为这样做会解锁后台不存在的资金提取。当它没有了,404 找不到网站(就出现了)。从我在社交媒体上看到的情况来看,人们逐渐接受Berry 是一个庞氏骗局。当然,复苏骗局和IPO的胡言乱语让投资者意识到他们已经上当了。 Berry 网站的大部分流量来自非洲;南非(36%)、博茨瓦纳(16%)、英国(12%)、卢旺达(11%) 和美国(8%)。 Berry 使用的语言当然具有亚洲英语的感觉。我觉得这可能是中国骗子运行的基本“点击按钮”庞氏骗局的演变,但我还没有看到Berry 的变体出现。有点新颖的想法,让附属公司在特定时间登录并点击按钮让他们认为他们正在交易——但最终仍然是隐藏庞氏骗局的戏码。除了前面提到的骗局更新和Berry 的网站最终消失之外,预计不会有任何实质性更新。 2023 年5 月24 日更新——Berry 似乎已经放弃了IPO 的废话,并结束了回收费用退出骗局。截至5 月23 日,Berry剩下的容易受骗的投资者现在正被迫转换为BRY 代币。
Berry affiliates who failed to pay up were threatened with account termination.
A new “loyalty program” was also announced, with the aim of screwing gullible investors out of an additional 500 USDT.
Berry’s loyalty program is scheduled to end on May 20th. That’ll probably be extended (the cashback reload scam was extended), after which Berry’s website will be taken down.
Basically it comes down to diminishing returns. Berry’s admins will continue to pump out new scams as long as enough gullible investors hand over more money – mostly because they think doing so will unlock withdrawal of money that doesn’t exist in their backoffices.
When that dries up, 404 website not found.
From what I’m seeing on social media it’s gradually being accepted that Berry was a Ponzi scheme. Certainly the recovery scams and IPO baloney have contributed to investors realizing they’ve been had.
The majority of Berry website traffic originates from Africa; South Africa (36%), Botswana (16%), the UK (12%), Rwanda (11%) and US (8%).
The language used by Berry certainly has an Asian engrish feel to it. I feel like this might be an evolution of the basic “click a button” Ponzi schemes run by Chinese scammers, but I haven’t seen variations of Berry emerge.
Bit of a novel idea, getting affiliates to log in and click buttons at certains times to get them to think they’re trading – but ultimately still theatrics to hide a Ponzi scheme.
Other than the aforementioned scam updates and Berry’s website eventually disappearing, not anticipating any substantial updates on this one.
Update 24th May 2023 – Berry appears to have dropped its IPO nonsense and wrapped up the recovery fees exit-scam.
As of May 23rd, gullible investors Berry remaining are now being subject to a forced conversion to BRY token.
