If you are thinking of investing in this project you should read this, i have no incentives in giving you this information, except not being a fan of bad actors.

220 energia is a fraud company, but it doesn't mean Wepower is a fraudulent project.
Wepower is hot enough that its Telegram group has a huge user base. Even if it's a scam, I think that when the bubble in the ICO market is so big, investing in Wepower can still be profitable.
But note that Wepower is not a hoax.

"Even if"? If you are legit, you don't partner with a scam company period. Just sell what you bought for a profit and watch it burn.

This is a really good posting. I feel some of these ICO's you have to be leary of. Yes it does look like Wepower is legit, but it makes you question why they partner with scam companies.

But even a successful company might work with a fraudster, wouldn't it?
Wepower is just a new ICO project, and maybe there is a problem with the initial partner, but I don't think it will deny the project.

Yeah thats a valid point, maybe some companies don't realize they are fraud. but ultimately you are guilty sometimes by association.

Most of the articles on 220 energia are in Finnish, i would never have know it was a scam if i didint read about the company on a Finnish business news site.

220 energia has done some really shady things to its customers. If they were legit and had so much experience in this industry they would never partner with this company. I think the ico will probably be profitable because of the amount of followers, but i have a hard time seeing this succeed in the longterm. 

I really hate bad actors, and they are unfortunately flocking to crypto. I just want to share information others might not find.

I've investigated this project enough. I decided and took.I think the advancing times will be very profitable. I absolutely believe.

Thought of it as a scam long time ago right after the company positioned as Lithuanian based, however was registered in Gibraltar. Since then there was only more hype for some strange reasons (marketing is a strong force i guess)

Also if you are really in for the green energy blockchain project - check out Powerledger (POWR) - great legit team, already a working product, guaranteed not a scam

I am worried that even though projects such as this may be scams, many are still willing to buy if the hype is high enough so they can still turn a profit off the scam. This is bad because it promotes scam ICOs and encourages companies to launch them and people to buy into them just to make a quick buck.

Thank you for reminding me, although there may be some problems.
But almost all of the ICO projects are likely to have some fraudulent behavior, and I will sell the token at the appropriate time. ;D

This is exactly the reason why is better to invest smaller amounts into multiple ICOs. And even if you make 100x profit of 1/5 ICOs, you are still ok.

80-90% ico will become scum in the next 5 years. The only question can they make u rich or it will dye faster and burn you depo;) most of them are speculation and nothing more:)

Yes that is correct may be only associated partners made a fraudulent but I really believe We power is a legit project and we felt now the crowd of the investors,developers and teams even in telegrams are so high because of a good impact of the project.

thanks for the information, i was thinking about joining this ICO, so maybe i need to have a deeper look at it and do some more research.

I do not think that this is so, but why do you think so? If you heard a comment that did not sound from officials, then of course it's a pity, but still you need to read only the officials and what they say, of course the opinions of smart people are also important, but you need to have your head

If the information we have read about Wepower is something to come by then investors of the  company's ICO needs to be very wary. However someone needs to contact Wepower team to verify the authenticity of the information to be more convinced.


Title: Re: Wepower is shady, please share
Post by: Cubanlinx81 on January 28, 2018, 08:53:41 AM
I absolutely do not think that WePower is a shady company at all!! Actually, they have conducted an ico without relying on hype mechanisms which seem to be the norm these days which is troubling. Everything about the process of the ico has been very transparent which is why I can believe that someone would think that it is a shady project. Very surprised to hear this.

Please share so people know what they are investing in
I haven't invest in WePower but I'm planing to invest in this soon. I believe it is hard tell if this is true or not because it is only one article and one side of the story. There could also a political issue on this matter and Media now a days cannot be trusted, they always add up a story just to make their news looks interesting.

It's heavily promoted on Facebook. Not sure if it's a scam or not but I usually stay away from any icos I see on Facebook.

This is the official site for The Finnish competition and consumer authority. It's not tmz... Always look at the sources, don't assume.

Here is a list of articles from reliable Finnish news sites on this company (they are in Finnish so use a translator)

It is bad..

thanks for the information, i was thinking about joining this ICO, so maybe i need to have a deeper look at it and do some more research.



No problem, I think this information should be out there, it might not mean the project will fail, but it is a red flag.  

80-90% ico will become scum in the next 5 years. The only question can they make u rich or it will dye faster and burn you depo;) most of them are speculation and nothing more:)

Couldn't agree more, there are some amazing projects with great teams out there but at the same time, all the bad actors are running to the unregulated crypto space. And they are giving the space a bad name.

I am worried that even though projects such as this may be scams, many are still willing to buy if the hype is high enough so they can still turn a profit off the scam. This is bad because it promotes scam ICOs and encourages companies to launch them and people to buy into them just to make a quick buck.

You just need to do your research before investing, there is no doubt in my mind that a lot of people will be left holding empty bags but a lot will also make money. Knowledge is power! I do agree that it is annoying that the unregulated aspect brings so many bad actors to this space, but they will leave once the dumb money stops pouring in. It might be a while for that to happen.

I think it's not scam, they showed us they have the best project since 2017. Running ICO's is not easy. you need alot of effort and do advertisement. If they going to scam us then investors will file a lawsuit about the accusations.

Read the medium post before commenting. It is stated that the company they are partnering with are shady, this, however, reflects very poorly on the project.

An ico is not a scam per say but these icos are not regulated and they only offer a promise that has no obligation to be completed. This is why you should research a lot before investing, as they could if they wanted to stop working on the project whenever they wanted. And you cant do anything about it as there are no laws they are breaking.

I think if this were so, then probably the bounty manager would probably have said this first, as far as I understand, that bounty managers are people. who are hired, so perhaps he would immediately report it. In any case, contact does not interfere

Let's take a look at the author of this article. Emilia W has only two followers and the only article that was probably written to order. It is possible that she was thrown from the campaign largesse and she's out for revenge. Wepower is a very strong draft and it has a very powerful team. I see no reason that this project was a fraud.

it is over, somewhere there is such probability... but here you don't learn, won't throw yet. As was with Benebit too all thought, a chtor the good project, and then and couldn't find anybody.

Indeed, I think it doesn't matter if it's a hoax.
Because the ICO project is hot enough, we can still make a profit in the short term by investing in it.
