alt Hacker NewsA while back I thought I could make a bit of extra cash by playing along with these scams, apparently they give returns on the first/second round of investment and only run off with the money once the sum is large enough for them. Knowing that someone may get beaten or worse for losing money prevented me from going through with it

The phrase playing with fire comes to mind.

The returns show are general on app/paper only not something you can actually withdraw

If you would be able to withdraw (you wouldn’t be able to) that money has to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is from other people who were scammed.
No one is going to get beaten because of your interactions with scammers. They’re going to be beaten because they are enslaved.
