Edu-pension.com or Btcsuccess.biz (SCAMS)/Coince the Real Deal

I am new to the world of bitcoin and I love it.  This fits into the mission of the Work For You Expo.  We believe in finding ways to free yourself of the daily 9 to 5 and putting all of your energy into working for you.  So when we were introduced to BitCoins we hit the ground running.  It is a great way to make your money work for you.  However, there are many scams out there which make it difficult for the "real" investment gems to shine.  So let me tell you about my experience:

I was introduced to Bitcoins through a friend who had been using Coince to invest at 3% daily.  It sounded great to me so I signed up and put in $25 to start.  After about 2 weeks, I looked at my account and I had about $11 in interest.  So I put Coince to the test and took a withdrawal.  I successfully withdrew about $10 (not sure the exact amount).  When I say I successfully withdrew $10 that means it showed up in my bitcoin wallet and I didn't have to pay a fee to withdraw it.  After that I was excited so I put in $300 and began making about $9 per day.  Well, in 2 weeks I had about $54 in 34 days, I had my $300 in interest.  So I took another withdrawal of about $200 and reinvested the $100.  That withdrawal also successfully went into my bitcoin wallet with no issues.  It's been over 60 days and I have not had one problem withdrawing the interest nor having my principle returned. I made $45 on the $25 initial investment and I received every penny of the money.  I have a few more days on my $300 investment before the principal is released and then I will reinvest.  

Here's a picture of my account:

So here I am thinking wow this is great but I need to make money faster because I got stuff to do.  So I started digging around in the world of bitcoin investments and found 3 that did not have any negative press and "seemed" valid, and worked "faster" than Coince. So I went for edu-pension.com because it boasts of 140% interest in an hour. With this one, I put in $100 and flipped it each hour until I had about $7900 the next day.  My 2nd choice was btcsuccess.biz because it turned my $50 deposit to $250 in one day.  Thirdly, I used probtc.net because it boasts of 600% in one day.  With this one, it turned $150 to $900 in one day.  So the big test came when I asked for the withdrawal.  All 3 of these companies had my withdrawal pending for over a day.  I was not concerned because Coince takes about a day but no more than 2 days before it shows up in your bitcoin wallet.  So after day two, I sent and email to customer support.  Edu-pension locked me out of my account and told me I needed to pay $299 to get my withdrawal.  This is not mentioned anywhere on the website.  They also offered me a job if I sent in my driver's license and resume (I guess this is so I could be in on the scam).  I will be happy to forward the email to anyone who wants to see it.  Btcsuccess also told me that I need to pay $200 to get the $200 that I supposedly earned in interest.  This is not mentioned on their website either.  The jury is still out with Probtc but I'm not holding my breath.

Here are my other accounts:

So I got scammed so you don't have to.  Here are 5 things to check before investing:

1) Do the social media links work?  (Probtc/BTC Success/Edu-Pension all have social media links on their websites but they do not work.  You cannot find them on facebook or twitter, etc.)  Coince is the only one that comes right up on facebook.

2) Look at the so called withdrawals. Do they make sense?  When I looked at the supposed withdrawals on these sites none of them looked right.  Shouldn't there be massive withdrawals like $25k and up based on how fast you can make money? Yet, the withdrawals were like $20.60 or $107.
3) Check for negative feedback .  I didn't find any until I looked at pages 4 and 5 on google.

4) Only put in what you can stand to lose.  Make sure you can withdraw successfully...meaning it shows up in your bitcoin wallet before going any further.

5) Check to see if the phone numbers and addresses are real even if they are in a different country.
