Always check the promise.

It promises a guaranteed 2.5% a day. That would turn $1,000 into millions in a year: no real investment does that, so the profits it shows are made up.

Always checkThe real oneThe scam
1Where it livesIs it the real company's or person's own address or number?

investor.vanguard.com is Vanguard's own site.

northpeak-capital.online is a company nobody has heard of, on a throwaway address.

2What it asks you to doDoes it want a password, a payment, a call, or a tap?

It asks you to open an account, and tells you that you can lose money.

It wants a $200 deposit to start earning.

3How hard it pushesCheck firstIs there a deadline, a threat, or a surprise charge?

No promise of profit.

"Guaranteed 2.5% daily, 100% protected".

RememberGuaranteed high returns don't exist. Any site that promises them is taking your deposit, not investing it.
