MaxiRise… the bubble

The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has urged the citizens to beware of such fraudsters. It has stated that people should refrain from investing their hard-earned money in dubious projects such as this. These kinds of investments are not a good idea as more often than people end up losing their money.
