Is Fias777.com a Fraud or a Legit Business?
Author: Adam Collins
There is always excitement when new investment products hit the market. But sadly, some of them are just scammers ridding on the excitement wave. I decided to check out Fias777 after it was one of the most searched sites on ScamAdviser.
The issue with the start date
There is very limited information about the site and even the home page does not give away much. When I looked the website up on ScamAdviser, I saw that the website was registered on 21st March 2022. On their home page, there is a pop-up that indicates the company entered the Ethiopian market, they have gained over 2.5 million users.
That looks like a very exaggerated number considering the site is barely 2 months old. This is a common trick that many scammers use to mislead you into thinking they are a big company.
How does the site work?
Information on Fiass777 is very scanty to say the list. For starters, the site is not user-friendly. I had a very hard time navigating the site and looking for information. The site is using a referral-based system where users get rewards in several categories classified as VIPs.
The levels run from VIP 1 to VIP 5. Each VIP has 3 reward levels, Level 1 to level 3. Level one has a reward of 15%, level two has 5% and level 3 has 2%.
Where is the Q&A?
Again, on the home page, the pop-up shows a novice Q&A, but when I clicked on it, there was no Q&A page. I was redirected to the VIP Income Form. Here they only indicated a beginner's guide but there was no further explanation.
Nonfunctioning social media buttons
Throughout the site, I found a lot of social media buttons but few were functioning. They indicate they are cooperating with Facebook, Youtube, and TikTok, but there was no proof of this. Most of the buttons also indicated the VIP levels with what looked like the amounts to earn by the day.
I could not find a social media page of the company. This is highly suspicious considering they say they are cooperating with social media giants like Facebook.
Fias777 indicates that if one joins and invites their friends and family, they can earn up to 1,000 to 10,000 per day. Commissions earned on deposits made by referrals are a common characteristic of investment scams such as Pyramid and Ponzi schemes. Proceed with caution when dealing with Fias777.com.

As the influence of the internet rises, so does the prevalence of online scams. There are fraudsters making all kinds of claims to trap victims online - from fake investment opportunities to online stores - and the internet allows them to operate from any part of the world with anonymity. The ability to spot online scams is an important skill to have as the virtual world is increasingly becoming a part of every facet of our lives. The below tips will help you identify the signs which can indicate that a website could be a scam. Common Sense: Too Good To Be True When looking for goods online, a great deal can be very enticing. A Gucci bag or a new iPhone for half the price? Who wouldn’t want to grab such a deal? Scammers know this too and try to take advantage of the fact. If an online deal looks too good to be true, think twice and double-check things. The easiest way to do this is to simply check out the same product at competing websites (that you trust). If the difference in prices is huge, it might be better to double-check the rest of the website. Check Out the Social Media Links Social media is a core part of ecommerce businesses these days and consumers often expect online shops to have a social media presence. Scammers know this and often insert logos of social media sites on their websites. Scratching beneath the surface often reveals this fu
So the worst has come to pass - you realise you parted with your money too fast, and the site you used was a scam - what now? Well first of all, don’t despair!! If you think you have been scammed, the first port of call when having an issue is to simply ask for a refund. This is the first and easiest step to determine whether you are dealing with a genuine company or scammers. Sadly, getting your money back from a scammer is not as simple as just asking. If you are indeed dealing with scammers, the procedure (and chance) of getting your money back varies depending on the payment method you used. PayPal Debit card/Credit card Bank transfer Wire transfer Google Pay Bitcoin PayPal If you used PayPal, you have a strong chance of getting your money back if you were scammed. On their website, you can file a dispute within 180 calendar days of your purchase. Conditions to file a dispute: The simplest situation is that you ordered from an online store and it has not arrived. In this case this is what PayPal states: "If your order never shows up and the seller can't provide proof of shipment or delivery, you'll get a full refund. It's that simple." The scammer has sent you a completely different item. For example, you ordered a PlayStation 4, but instead received only a Playstation controller. The condition of the item was misrepresented on the product page. This could be the
