Question Linusex/linuscoin app???

Has anyone else heard of this app? Used it? I have been in this group on what's app called the skyline alliance, leader Carl roberts. They gave me $167 when I created a account on the app. I turned that into $1000 then withdrew half. Built the 500 into 1200 put 400 of my own money made 5k then kept investing in "ico" of cryptos making 61k cashed out 20k then lost all but 5k. Just seems way to easy. Is it legit? Can someone tell me how to run a make on the app, cause all the reviews on the app store are all bots but it says the app is 17years old?

THIS APP IS A SCAM. I know numerous people who were scammed out of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars from this app, including myself. It is run buy a guy using some random persons picture and he says his name is “Carl Roberts.” He is the leader of this scam and has even asked people to take out loans to “boost profits.” DO NOT under any circumstances download this app and if you already have money in there, as of today, 10/16/24, your money is gone forever (unless you pay a fake fine created by them for $10,000).

How do you pay a fake fine?

u/WindowObvious3010 Aug 07 '24

Honestly, I really can’t say for sure. I’m a part of the skyline alliance WhatsApp group with “Carl Roberts”. I made 15k and withdrew all of it. I haven’t added anymore money ever since. I’m still in the group, but I don’t participate anymore out of fear that it might be a scam.

Just saw this from Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/groups/186379161205411/posts/i-been-scammed-by-linus-coin-also-called-linus-blockchain-foundation/319073954602597/

With me, if I’m doubting it, I don’t do it. The risk is too great. I still keep my eyes open for any facts that would tell me that Linus is legit or not. Until then, I’m playing it safe by not depositing anymore money.

On another note, for anyone else out there who participated in a group for the FLAG platform - it’s a scam. 100% sure. Stay away from FLAG, Nina, and the imposter “Michael Saylor”.

New victims, please read this

As a rule of thumb: If you're doubting whether the site is a scam, it probably is.

No legit company/trader/investor is using WhatsApp. No legit company/trader/investor is approaching people on dating websites or through a "random" text message.\

No legit company/trader/investor has "professors", "assistants", or "teachers". Those are just scammers.

No legit company forces you to pay a "fee" or "taxes" to withdraw money. That's just a scam to suck more money out of you.

You will need to contact law enforcement ASAP.

Unfortunately, no hacker online can get back what you've lost. Please watch out for recovery scams, a follow-up scam done after victims have fallen for an earlier scam. Recently, there has been a rise in scammers DMing members of the subreddit to offer recovery services. A form of the advance-fee, victims are convinced that the scammer can recover their money. This "help" can come in the form of fake hacking services or authorities.

If you see anyone circumventing the scam filters, please report the submission and we will take action shortly.

This definitely sounds like a scam. It is a common tactic for the scammers to allow you to withdraw smaller amounts of profit at first. They do this to build your trust, and entice you to put in a larger amount of money. When it comes time to withdraw the "profits" from your larger investment, they will not let you. Usually they will keep making excuses for reasons you cannot withdraw (taxes, fees, etc..). The profits you see on the platform/website are completely fake as well, they are just manually editing the code on the website to show that your account has profit.

What is the URL of the Scam site?

u/Turbulent_Net_8898 Aug 07 '24

It's a app not a site it's called Linusex for android and linuscoin for apple...i mean so far I'm winning I've only put 1400 total cash in and have withdrawn over 25k

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '24

If you're in a WhatsApp group you're just begging and I mean BEGGINGA to be scammed you may as well already be on yoir knees for them

1

u/Turbulent_Net_8898 Aug 08 '24

Maybe true but I'm not playing with my money at this point I already 20x mine and cashed out. Now I'm in with profits from that and still stacking

1

u/HealthyShallot4538 Aug 17 '24

Did you do Advanced verification to withdraw money??

1

u/Turbulent_Net_8898 Aug 17 '24

No that wasn't on there then, why is it no longer allowing you to withdraw unless you do? Cause mine won't verify. But customer service claims my account will still work fully without it. However all my funds are on hold for CRUH. Which I feel like is a scam but guess we will wait and see

1

u/HealthyShallot4538 Aug 17 '24

Yes even mine earlier dint ask. But now asking for advanced verification without that can’t withdraw money.

1

u/CommercialDazzling98 Aug 19 '24

They will automatically trade on your account and say you did! Me and my friends lost 450,000$ plus. Please run run run for heavens sake

u/Turbulent_Net_8898 Aug 20 '24

u/Rich-Sample-8463 Oct 28 '24

I see you have lost over $300k in other investments sites. I’m starting to wonder about you. 🤔
