Just heard from a relative that he joined this Mface thingy where the value of his investment just keeps increasing...sounds like a scam to me. But, does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this? Also, heard that it is very popular in m'sia.

googled some info and found this

The problem is this business is not illegal in M'sia. And my relative has gotten back more than half his invested money and is very convinved it will give him good return. I want to faint cos I am asked to join. But of cos, anything that sounds too good to be true is too good to be true .... haiz

As long as it sounds too good to be true, it is hardly good

I think it is just a matter of time.

I am pretty sure some things we can just save the hassle of doing an analysis

Are you of the belief that all things are worth investigating as long as it's low risk high returns?

Guess what? Most scams are low risk high return on the surface, so if you wanna waste time investigating everyone, you will be wasting time investigating all the scams... countless. :s22:

Let's start you off with the Arab prince?

Googled for "mface" and nearly every result was about it being a scam. So how can it be legit? LOL

It's a cross between a pyramid scheme and a Ponzi. Don't get involved.

You might get a few initial payments to get you hooked, but the odds are it'll collapse and take all your money with it.

Ya...I know but my relative is so convinced by it cos it returns him money already. I told him not to put in anymore. So frustrating....

Any investment that guarantees return is a RED ALERT! I have seen so many friends who tasted the first one or two returns (interest/ payout) and lost their initial capital. Imagine you put in $100K and get back $10K. Then the company folds, you lost everything!

Very important to do own due diligence for all investments.

yes agreed.

For me, I am also volunteering to help my colleagues analyse their investments. a lot of them are engineers like me and are totally clueless about finance and investments. Hope they dont get burnt :o
