Ok. I'll be honest - Orderbook as a company have no position on this yet. They will probably react later.
But as an individual I stand for the truth.
The truth is Worldcore has bad website design for a project with that good funding. Seriously, you should invest into some better web designers. But Worldcore is
not a scam. This company is a real thing. Their plastic cards are a real thing. And they are quite open for cooperation and willing to prove their reputation.
First thing - this is me sitting in Orderbook Kyiv office.
I cant prove this with anything more than a picture of me in this office. If anyone from here is from Kyiv - we can meet for a lunch during daytime, PM me for details. We are located at Khreshatik in the city center.
Second thing - I contacted Worldcore on Facebook. And they are quite responsive. I am not WC client or their shareholder but they invited me to their HQ in Prague and they pay the whole trip. So nice. Im flattered
Unfortunately I am really busting my ass of working for nearest 3 weeks so I cannot accept the invitation
But probably someone who is from this forum and is way more trusted then me could do that and make some debunking video blog or something.
Unprovable for now but fact: I didnt get the E&Y paper mailed to me. Yes, I checked spam box and bulk boxes. I left the support ticket on their website and response for that one I found in my spam box.
Overall:
1. Black PR attacks are a real thing. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it. This one is quite effective. I thought Im pretty good at filtering out the information but this one got me confused.
2. Extortion is a thing. We should figure out what to do with this.
3. Invest some time to learn how good design looks. And then invest into good designers. Without good design any bad statement about your company looks way more plausible.
4. Dont be lazy while evaluating anything. Lots of fakeable secondary evidence is worth nothing against single point of hard evidence.
