Friend might be getting scammed through binance

So my pal received in contact with someone that is staking ethereum utilizing binance. The returns this guy is quoting are insane. Roughly 20% per 30 days with further "bonus" ethereum.

I simply needed to know if anyone right here, even somebody working at binance, can say and not using a shadow of a doubt that this is NOT a rip-off. Because in line with me staking ETH only yields round 4% p.a. At present charges. Also I've staked coins on binance earlier than, including eth, and by no means have I acquired a "payout" e-mail, nor bonus something.

So within the display shot I offered you will notice the related details of the "payout", with sensitive information redacted.

My good friend is getting this e mail forwarded to them by the man operating the scheme.

He has a bunch of his other associates who joined in as properly. I asked how this could't be a rip-off and he stated he has already "withdrawn" his preliminary funding. I don't consider my pal would lie about this.

Lastly, it somebody does need to withdraw from this "pooled" ethereum staking the bonus ethereum just isn't paid out that month. So this incentives the group to maintain their money staked.

I feel like this e-mail is fabricated and the man is making an attempt to attract in as many suckers as attainable earlier than disappearing, but my pal is assured it's legit. They even received a PI to trace this guy, and the PI says every thing is kosher close to the blokes as a person, but to me this doesn't rule out the operation as a scam though.

I recognize any inputs guys!
