really what is this. i cant find any info on it anywhere there are multiple spelling mistakes on their website visa wont back up their claims that they have a card coming out with them. people are calling it out as a scam online.
if its real its really interesting but with claims of over 1300% return in just 30 days is crazy.
people need to share this shit and if its a scam let people know as they already have a huge following on facebook of 40000 and growing and its looking like allot of people will invest in it

Beware of any ICO offering 1000% returns. Beware of any ICO where the team info is nowhere to be found. Beware of any ICO card schemes using the VISA logo (they are not authorized to do so, go check similiar projects) Beware of any ICOs that have referral schemes. Beware of any ICO that have as little detail in their roadmap as plexcoin. Beware of any ICO that has such a ridiculous high cap.

every experience i have had with communication from them just screams of a single guy in his mums basement trying to make it look authentic...
they said "why would we spend so much on a professional website if we where a scam?" the website is full of spelling mistakes...

Noob just discovered a scam shitcoin!  Bro, you don't even have to do much research into this.  You can safely assume it's a scam just like most shitcoins.  Don't waste your money on it and don't waste your time thinking about it.   It's garbage,  plain and simple.l--welcome to the world of crypto, where 99% of new issues are scams.

thanks normally i would be insulted by the term noob but in the world of crypto (and i have been watching it since bitcoin was $6) i still feel like a complete and utter noob! its infuriating how little i understand about why some of these coins are worth money and why some that actually have some real world use created by people with credentials are still cheap coins worth next to nothing...

Yes, they are known by the 'Autorité des marchés financiers' in Canada : https://lautorite.qc.ca/grand-public/salle-de-presse/actualites/fiche-dactualite/monnaie-virtuelle-plexcorps-plexcoin-dl-innov-inc-gestio-inc-et-dominic-lacroix-sont-vises-pa/ . Look like a scam !

There are many promotion about Plexcoin in fb page post. And I dont know really about this, if this is legit or what. If offer 1300% return of investment for 30days oh its weird.So Ill be careful not to invest in this kind of coin.

They are saying 13X increase just after the the sale is over. $10 become $130, but it seems too good to be true. Combined with the fact that there are spelling mistakes and no info on the team, whitepaper is still not released, doesn't sound too good... I liked it at first when I started reading the site :/

Just like I have been working to expose the REcoin scam on this site, I was posting a lot of their Plexcoin nonsense on their FB page until they blocked me and deleted my posts.

That is why talking about their scams on these open forums is the best fight possible. They control their groups along with lots of fake users to hype their coins and trick users that know little english or about this space.

That's how it is, even if you share it though, many might not believe what you share after all, investors of plexcoin might support it and be as blind as fuck, like those who supports thebillioncoin if you heard about it. If they got scammed its there loss though not yours and after all, it promises something too good to be true so if one is smart, it is already obvious that plexcoin is scam at first glance.

I asked on Facebook why the Quebec Gov't was trying to shut them down and this was the response:

Quote
Press release

PlexCorps confirms, in contradiction with the allegations of the AMF (“autorité des marchés financiers”) from the Quebec province in Canada, that the headquarter of PlexCorps and its products PlexCoin, PlexWallet, PlexCard, and PlexBank, are located in Singapore and thus subject to the laws in effect in Singapore.

The AMF (“autorité des marchés financiers”) does not have any jurisdiction outside of Quebec, Canada, and can not ask in any case for the shutdown of www.plexcorps.com and www.plexcoin.com websites. Likewise, they can not ask for the closing of PlexCorps and PlexCoin’s Facebook accounts since there are no installations of any nature present in the province of Quebec, Canada. PlexCorps’ project is legal and under regulations; it can not be stopped.
Because of the high volume of emails that we receive, we had to engage three firms for the management of our social media, one of which is based in Quebec, Canada. Unfortunately, we had to terminate the service contract with this enterprise due to this publication by the AMF (“autorité des marchés financiers”) concerning them, in order to preserve the credibility of our enterprise.

Thus, we have removed their access to our social media and recovered the files, images, sounds and texts they had in their possession for future publications.

Important: The social media management contract is now terminated with this firm and the PlexCorps and PlexCoin projects will continue and not be affected. Thank you for your comprehension.

Executive team
PlexCorps

They replied in PM and deleted my comment

To sum the article, it's not the government but the AMF (equivalent to FTC in US), Dominic Lacroix has been charged for illicit sollicitation few years ago, as well as their company dl innoc/ gestio inc.  Looks like it will be a big scam ICO.

I would not invest in that ICO.. ;)

I mean.. An ICO, getting this much attention allready from the AMF? That is really not good ;)

Some might be rushing an ICO to avoid all the regulations. On one hand it would be good to have the ICO's better checked, but on the other hand it would be against the philosophy of decentralization. Curious how this develops.

Anybody dropping a cent into this ICO is insane, they copied all the competitors and made a SCAM COIN! DO NOT BUY!!!!

NO REAL ICO OFFERING WHAT THEY ARE OFFERING WOULD NOT SHOW THERE TEAM

THATS WHY THEY WOULD OFFER SUCH A CRAZY INCENTIVE, THEY HAVE JUST SEEN COMPANIES LIKE TENX, MONACO, AND CENTRA CURRENTLY MAKING ALOT OF MONEY AND GETTING ALOT OF CONTRIBUTORS. 

LOOK AT CENTRA THEN LOOK AT THIS ITS CRAZY TO PUT YOUR MONEY INTO THIS AND NOT CENTRA

CENTRA HAS A LIVE WORKING CARD THATS ALREADY BEING USED
 THEY SHOW THERE WHOLE TEAM

DONT OFFER ANY THING THATS NOT POSSIBLE JUST AS TENX AND MANACO ANYBODY IN THE BANKING BUSINESS UNDERSTANDS CENTRA, MANACO AND TENX BUSINESS MODEL AND WHERE THEY CAN MAKE THERE MONEY, AND HOW THEY CAN CONTINUOUSLY STAY IN BUSINESS AND PEOPLE CAN MAKE MONEY INVESTING

THIS IS A CLEAR SCAM COIN

In reading the whitepaper, I was NOT impressed at all. WAY too much information and generalization of blockchain and the cryptosphere in general but nothing new, unique, improved nor fundamental from what is already out there. No specific on tech or anything substantial on what is unique about them. PlexCoin is NOT unique and does not look viable in the short nor long-term.

They don't want to compare against competitors, but keep comparing vs. Bitcoin history to pump and hype this coin. Bah! To compare themselves to BTC in any way is an offense to the long history and intense dev of Bitcoin as a currency and blockchain tech.

IMHO, PlexCoin is crap and a scam. If you can't put your own name and $$, have an app or other anything in alpha or beta to share or get anyone else to partner/grow, you are already too late and will go nowhere. Have fun in your own little token world, but I see this being an example of what NOT to do or invest in.

Ignore the hype. Ignore the pump. Go for facts and tech. I don't see anything at all that is appealing in this project, token, offerings or environment. It seems it's made to benefit a central core of participants while fleecing those who are late in the game. (rapid inflation). Reading everything sends off RED FLAGS in my gut and conscience.

I wish them luck, but be TRANSPARENT, HONEST and REALISTIC. If it is SO damn good, pull back the curtain and show the core team and their skills/experience  that want to take your fiat or crypto. But they won't. In my opinion, it's anonymous hype, pump and dump MLM/referral/Ponzi scheme.

I like the comments that says "I am glad I stopped by here and read the comments from other anonymous people on the internet. Yes. it is a scam." LOL!
How about performing YOUR OWN due diligence.

I haven't done any due diligence and at least I am willing to admit it. I just stopped by here to read the comments. lol

By the way, boys and girls, a Canadian agency can't order that Facebook take down anyone's facebook page. Obviously it didn't work because the facebook page is still there more than a month later. Cuckoo.

If you want to do it then do it.
If you don't want to do it, then don't.
But make up your own mind.

Yes, you can build nice Web 2.0 with lovely javascript but you can't hide the history from the public eye!
Do check out the following link before you invest your hard earn $ into this coin!

2. https://lautorite.qc.ca/en/general-public/media-centre/news/fiche-dactualites/monnaie-virtuelle-plexcorps-plexcoin-dl-innov-inc-gestio-inc-et-dominic-lacroix-sont-vises-pa/
3. http://www.fil-information.gouv.qc.ca/Pages/Article.aspx?idArticle=2507211206

Do take note about 1000% ROI which is not particularly true if it comes to securities. There are risk in investment, yes but any investment with such high returns needs to be cautious!

Besides, they are missing out the developer / team info which is not a professional way to sell your ICO!

plexcoin have put market launch back 3 times and bullshiting the investors with

We need to get everything rite before launch.
and other crap.

facts-
they let people use sideway to buy coins with credit cards and PayPal, to which they have been ordered to pay back in full by courts.
Market places are refusing to list the coin and told Plexcoin this 2 months ago,
The founder  Dominic Lacroix has been proscuted in the past for fraud and his house recently raided has evidence such as emails and texts saying "dont tell anyone i am in charge"
Facebook banned there plexcoin page twice and now they use Plexcorps.
They banned everyone who asked questions about plexcoins staff and also genuine questions whilst in ICO
Now the ICO is over they don't ban anyone or don't reply to questions.

Now i know any venture has its teething problems BUT christ! i think dumb and dumber could have done better

The whole thing is just a bad joke... They targeted facebook specifically to get people with little to no experience in crypto & there are a lot of burned people now who have lost a lot of cash...

The weekend after the ICO ended & with only a week to launch the project they posted saying they are gonna have a well deserved holliday, must be hard work watching your bank balance grow at the expense of the poor people your ripping off. On that weekend someone done a bit of digging & found their personal facebook page with Dominic Lacroix girlfriend next to a new car they just bought. Sly fuckers... I never invested anything but I feel sorry for the people who got mugged off...
it is purely their own fault, (as a beginner) they should first analyze that (scam) coin before invest.

I was trying to warn people on their Facebook (got banned of course), on Reddit (not much users seem to care) and in unofficial Telegram channels (got banned as well). I only urged people to do the real research and think about all the things that do not add up with this project and they banned me for that from all those places (Facebook first). Then I wrote a thread on Reddit where I outright called them scammers, hopefully some pople read it and kept their money.

They still "operate", post on telegram how they are legit, how they refunded who ever requested refunded. Discuss their roadmap and what not.

Why is there no one hunting this kind of people, we have all kind of authorities out there, but really no one can protect us from such organized crime???

If a coin was called Scam ICO coin and promised 100% returns a month, there are tons of people who would invest in it. You can't save the stupid, they're stupid.
