Title: Onecoin scam Post by: 2342q6tegw on November 21, 2017, 08:10:36 PM So I went to a onecoin meetup.
Yes i know, It was advertised as an ICO group. (Probably to avoid tripping fca alerts ) So I expected groups who were developing coin/tokens launching or had launched ico or were just generally interested. Instead I got onecoin (I think I put them off when my answer to what else do we know who is behind it Was etherum foundation in zig,switzerland. ) I was avoided while they worked the room. What I can't figure out though is how they are able to troy out so many merchants who are willing to take payment in onecoin given how it is worthless. Sure I can figure 50/50 just raise your prices by 50% then take half onecoin and half fiat. But 100% onecoin. That makes no sense unless there is value to the coin (which there is not) so do they hire actors or something? Or do they pay merchants at a different rate? Or is there some other trick.

Are they really? This part sounds intriguing, so either the merchants are scammers themselves or they are scammed too. Title: Re: Onecoin scam Post by: 2342q6tegw on December 23, 2017, 07:58:24 PM Yup. That's what intrigued me. Some even claimed to be accepting 100% payment in onecoin for their services.
Of course anyone can put on a suit and say I'm a merchant. So they might just be scammers buying cheap cr*p then selling it for worthless one coin and taking a cut of the company profit from selling it one coin and not really independent. I can't really see how they can scam.the merchants. Yes accept payment in onecoin then spend it on my platform. Really what about taxes?

I of you brought that I have an internetless email account I'd like to sell you.
I will give them it is impossible to hack though. My non-existent software is impossible to hack too. What is impressive in a way is these people can drumpnup millions yet deal deserving projects that could impact a lot of people might be starved for funding.
