thecapitalrsie.com - LEGIT or SCAM?

MGT007

Hi,
a friend of mine has mentioned this web site to me as a p[lace where my hard earned savings could grow. 
I am struggling to find out anything about the web site or the company behind it. 
There is a similar company called Capital Rise which is a property company, but this is not the same. 
Does anyone have any views or information to guide my decision and help the rest of us?
Thanks in advance for any information.
M.

- Bitcoin

- Feel the need to say "we are legal" three times in one paragraph

- No phone number

- No company number

- No human names

- Terrible grammar

- Reads like Donald Trump wrote it

- Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions are dead links

If they have a "guaranteed money making system with investment guaranteed" why would they use that to make money for other people rather than just getting quietly richer themselves?

Obvious Scam.

It's a very obvious scam. Move on and don't waste another second of your life on this

There is a genuine FCA regulated company called Capital Rise.  The one mentioned here is not that one.

If you use the usual potential scam identifiers, then this has lots of them (as covered in earlier posts)

The website itself is a joke.  When you find the backway into the FAQs or the Privacy policy, you cannot help but laugh.  Its probably why they blanked them off from the main page.     And the grammar and language throughout is awful. "Here is our several investment plans. "

Anyone considering this needs their own head checking as its very obvious what it is.  If they cannot see that for themselves they should avoid making decisions for themselves.  And if the friend is real and not virtual then that friend needs a good telling off.

If you’re asking the question, it’s a scam. Always stick to that rule.

Send me a bitcoin and I'll tell you why it's a scam.
If you are a bit hard up I'll take half a bitcoin.

Its written similar the email I recently received from a Nigerian prince. He has $10m he wants to send me, I send it back to his account and he's letting me keep half for my trouble! 

I wonder if its the same guy?

Excluding all of the super obvious stuff like lack of contact details, language, bizarre wording, grammar, dead links, etc (which should all be major red flags), on the back-end we can see that the registrant of this website is namecheap.com, which is of no surprise. For those not as au-fait with this kind of thing, namecheap is a provider of domain names and hosting.

When someone creates a website, they are required to provide contact information to the ICANN database - which includes details such as who created it, contact details, where they're based, etc. Now if you were intending to create a scam website, you probably wouldn't want this information to be publicly available, and you don't want to website to be quickly taken down for false details, so what do you do?

Well some domain providers offer a service that hides your details on the database - so if I look up the website (on something like https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup), it says:

Registrant:

Handle: redacted for privacy

Name: Redacted for Privacy

Organization: Privacy service provided by Withheld for Privacy ehf

Email: fa703ba461c3441ca0c4d4cb0cc7dc5e.protect@withheldforprivacy.com

Registrar Information

Name: NAMECHEAP INC

IANA ID: 1068

Why was I not suprised that namecheap were the domain provider for this particular website? Well this particular company also just so happens to offers "free lifetime domain privacy protection" - as in they hide your details from the public.

https://www.namecheap.com/security/domain-privacy-service/

It is a common favourite among scammers and I see it quite regularly. At this point I now automatically assume any domain hosted by namecheap is most likely a scam.

But yeah - you wouldn't even need to check the ICANN details - as others have pointed out above, it was obvious in about 0.1 seconds this was a scam.

My personal favourite part of the website:
Legal CompanyOur company conducts absolutely legal activities in the legal field. We are certified to operate investment business, we are legal and safe. Sounds legit, just needed ", honest." or ", promise." at the end and it would have had me convinced.
