I have obligations too but never would I dream of blocking those people whom I owe money to. This is about an investment and those people whom I entrusted my money with. They owe a lot to people and I just found out a few hours ago that I was blocked from the group page and the admin also blocked me from seeing his profile. I still couldn't believe it. All of us members in that group were waiting to be paid for three months and there he goes blocking just about everyone who will post anything negative in the group. I reinvested over $2000 (PHP90,000) in his group and I was expecting to be paid $3130 (PHP150,000). We've been waiting for so long, I was posting and begging for them to just give me back a fraction of my capital but there was a no-refund policy. Yesterday, I posted again, saying they should at least give back 20-30% of the capital to the old investors. I'm not even expecting a full payout anymore, just a fraction of it. I owe a lot of people money and I need it also for my son's tuition fee next school term on June. The money I was waiting from them was my last hope and they pull-off this thing. All this bad luck happening to me can be unbearable and for the first time in my life, I even contemplated suicide. I just quickly brushed it off when my son entered the room. He's the only one that matters to me at the moment and I'm struggling to think how I can raise him now that I barely have anything in my pocket.

900K pesos! I am very sorry for you that is a huge money that's already worth a year of savings for most of rank and file employees in our country, I hope you will be able to do something that will make they pay you back even just part of it, then after that block them not just on FB but in your life

This is known as Ponzi scheme. They are using the money from new comers to pay the existing ones. There is no investment that is so good that you can get more than 50% in so short a time. i hope you learn investing properly by reading books, and taking courses. Rich people will not fall into such trap because they have solid investing knowledge.

agree with you here in the Philippines there are many such "companies" and they just kept changing names and are still able to scam hard earned money from people who just wanted a better life financially

I am sorry to hear your invested money is stolen. It is hard to trust people now a days and I hope you are able to find a solution for this. Maybe create another Facebook and get to the owner of all this.

I wonder, would you be able to take these guys to small-claims court, and see if you're able to get some money back. Am sorry to hear about this.

That sounds like a bad investment. I hope you will get your money back soon.
