ITP Investment: too good to be true or worth a try?

I recently was invited to join an ITP investment scheme.
When I researched ITP, it came up as a Ponzi scheme, which made me immediately weary.
However, if I invest only a smallish amount -say £100- and take that out of the scheme as soon as possible, what would the argument against be?

Who invited you?
Are you happy to gamble with £100 and are you happy to loose it all?Do you really want to encourage this sort of thing just for the slim chance to gain a few quid?3 -
As above, where did the invitation come from? As a general rule, any invitation you receive to "invest" money is a scam from the outset, even more so if it comes via social media. Any sensible person who genuinely wants to invest money will do some research themselves and approach the investment company, not the other way around.beachgoals said:
