Salaam, OK what are your thoughts on this? I want to start by saying what I am am about to write in my post is 100% as far as I know and I know at least 10 people (who i know first hand, some are even related to me). There is a scheme or investment opportunity however you want to define it and basically its double your money in either 3 months or 6 month depending on how long the project is. How it works is you give x amount and you get double x amount back in the time scale which is defined. Like I said I know 10 people who have literally made a fortune doing this. I have been told this is related to oil fields around the world in different countries to be honest the people I know who have benefited from this don't seem to know 100% other than it's invested in something to do with oil (they don't really care as they know the person doing it and trust him and have doubled their money plenty of times). I have asked further question to see if this money is from a haram means and the reply from people close to me is we have been told it's not haram it's halal income and we don't ask any further questions, they do say that it has been explained to them and they invest in oil drilling in Pakistan and soon in Iran. I have not been tempted by this as I need 100% assurance it is halal and I suspect when I speak to the man in charge of this I won't get any real information in detail but will get his assurance that it is halal. When something is too good to be true it usually is. I have said tot he people I know that it sounds like a Ponzy scam but they all deny it is anything like that I have know people who started with 1k and ended up with over 20k in a year and a half. From an islamic perspective how far do you have to go in finding out where your money is being invested into and what is happening behind the scenes, the people I know think I am silly fo rnto jumping on the bandwagon but Alhamdulillah principles in life have changed and I will not risk an ounce of haram in my Rizq.
