There also these bonuses such as 10% onetime commission payment upon chosen package and 10% commission on renewal of availed package.

SEC interviewed people and found out that incoming members are asked to register at a certain website, input their email addresses, then choose heir package, then receive passive income just by typing captchas every day.

SEC said Bitrade is not registered as a corporation or partnership in the Philippines. Furthermore, it is not authorized to solicit investments from the public. Such undertaking requires a secondary license from the SEC. Naturally, Bitrade will not get this because they don’t have the first license (the license to operate) in the first place.

SEC warned than any salesmen, broker, dealer, or agents acting on behalf of Bitrade will be held criminally liable. They may be prosecuted and penalized with a maximum fine of Php 5 million or 21 years of imprisonment.

The SEC recently issued a cease and desist order against the people running the “Bitcoin Revolution Scam“. Bitcoin Revolution claims to have a software that allows people to be successful in their bitcoin trading 85% of the time.
