There's a very typical scam I want to mention. A group of people come out nationwide to recruit agents and franchisees, with the slogan: "Agents don't make money, the headquarters will back you up." Sounds good, right? But this kind of model is most likely to collapse. Why? Because the headquarters has no intention of backing up; it's just a gimmick. Once agents invest their money, either the platform runs away or they come up with various excuses to delay payments. This kind of scheme is especially common in the crypto and blockchain circles, and it becomes even easier to deceive when dressed up in Web3 attire.

I've seen this trick too many times. To be honest, it's just about making empty promises. The words "guarantee" and "bottom line" are just for show.

Haha, this trick is really everywhere now. Someone always falls for it, and I just can't understand why.

Headquarters guarantees? That's a joke. It's just a cover. Once you invest your money, you'll know what regret really means.

---

The people in the crypto circle are really good at packaging. They put on a Web3 disguise and start to cut the leeks. It's hard to guard against.

---

I just want to ask, why hasn't this kind of platform been investigated yet? It's too outrageous.

---

Agents don't make money, headquarters guarantees? Just listen to it and that's it. If you really believe it, your brain must have a problem.

---

When they run away, that's when agents realize what being scammed really means. A bloody lesson.

---

Web3 support + guarantee promise = 99% is a scam. I figured out this formula a long time ago.

---

Wait, isn't this just a pyramid scheme with a different name? Why are people still jumping in?

---

Delaying payment is a brilliant move. Anyway, you can't go to the headquarters every day to find them.

Agents don't make money, and the headquarters covers the losses? Haha, I've heard this kind of talk too many times. Basically, it's just a pie in the sky. The more Web3 the crypto circle pretends to be, the easier it is to deceive people. It was about time to investigate this.

Another "guarantee" trick, I'm already numb to it. The old tricks in the crypto circle can be disguised with a different coat, and they still manage to fool a new batch of retail investors. Truly incredible.

Oh dear, this trick is as old as can be, and people keep falling for it every time. Guarantee? Haha, I've never seen one that truly guarantees the bottom.

Damn, it's the same old trick. I've seen through it long ago—"guarantee" is just poison; anyone who believes it is the one who loses.

Once the guarantee statement was made, I knew it was over—another classic fake move.
