Investment Warning: Protect Yourself Before Sending Money
Investing can be an exciting way to build your future — but it also comes with risks, especially when opportunities are promoted online or through personal networks. Recently, individuals (including myself) have had negative experiences with investment opportunities tied to crypto coins and marketing funnel projects.
This page is not about discouraging all investing. It is about warning you to do your homework before trusting someone with your hard-earned money.
Why This Warning Matters
Several people — across the U.S. and Canada — have reported losing money after sending funds to a man promoting:
A crypto coin project called MyBLT Coin
“Proven” marketing funnel investments promising high returns
The common theme? Big promises, little transparency, and no real accountability.
Red Flags We Experienced
When evaluating any investment, watch for these warning signs:
Guaranteed or “too good to be true” returns
Pressure to act quickly — e.g., “This deal won’t last”
Lack of transparency — no financial records, contracts, or legal agreements
No regulation — the person offering the deal isn’t registered with securities authorities
No clear product or business model — the money is going somewhere, but you don’t see how it generates returns
In our case, the investments involved claims of big profits through crypto and online funnels. But the outcome was consistent: the investors lost money.
What You Should Do Before Investing
If someone asks you to invest in their crypto project, marketing funnel, or other business:
Verify the opportunity – Ask for audited financials, legal agreements, and evidence of returns.
Check their registration – In the U.S., many investment opportunities must be registered with the SEC or state regulators. If they’re not, that’s a red flag.
Research independently – Don’t rely only on the promoter’s website or testimonials. Search for outside reviews, news articles, or regulator warnings.
Research website that post about scams such as this one
Talk to a professional – A financial advisor, accountant, or attorney can often spot issues quickly.
Report Suspected Scams
If you’ve already invested and suspect fraud, you can report it to:
FTC (Federal Trade Commission): ReportFraud.ftc.gov
SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission): SEC.gov/tcr
Your state Attorney General (in the U.S.) or your provincial securities regulator (in Canada)
Final Note
This warning is based on personal experiences and reports from other individuals. We share this to help others avoid financial harm. We strongly urge caution before engaging in any business with individuals or companies offering unverified crypto coins or “guaranteed” funnel investments.
Remember: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
