Has Anyone Encountered This Type of Investor Outreach?

Question

Real Estate Contact Started Promoting Guaranteed Crypto Returns – Scam?

I connected with someone while networking about real estate investing, wholesalers, investors, and BiggerPockets-related opportunities.

The conversation seemed normal at first, but it later shifted to a crypto/binary trading investment platform. The person then presented an investment plan claiming:

• $100 → $1,500
• $200 → $2,500
• $300 → $3,500

They also stated the profits were “guaranteed” and would be paid out within 2–3 days.

This immediately raised red flags for me because guaranteed returns and returns of that size don’t seem realistic.

Has anyone here encountered similar pitches? Is this a known scam pattern, or has anyone researched this company before?

I’ve attached screenshots (with personal information removed) for context.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

You’re right to be cautious. Promises of guaranteed, high returns in just a few days are always a red flag. I’d steer clear and do not send money or personal info. Scams often start by appearing connected to real estate or investing groups to build trust, then shift to crypto or trading schemes. Trust your instincts; if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

There is no free lunch. Investors who can make a million % ROI don't need your $100. Considering the biggest investment is $600 they are only targeting the dumbest and poorest people. You already knew this in your gut. Trust it.

This definitely sounds like a scam to me.

The biggest red flags are the guaranteed returns, the extremely high profit percentages in just a few days, and the sudden shift from real estate networking to crypto/binary trading. Legitimate investments—whether in real estate, stocks, or crypto—always involve risk, and no one can guarantee those kinds of returns consistently.

A good rule of thumb is: if someone is promising returns that seem too good to be true, they usually are.

I’d avoid sending any money, sharing personal information, or connecting wallets/accounts until the company is independently verified and properly regulated.

You did the right thing by questioning it and bringing it to the community. Hopefully others can share similar experiences and help confirm the pattern.

100% scam. I get fake buyer leads that try to go to this script. They'll use any platform or form to scam people

Thanks, Caleb. I appreciate the feedback. The shift from real estate networking to guaranteed crypto returns definitely felt off to me. Good to know this is a common script and not something unique.
