What happened: While doing some background checking after adding Ucacoin to the list of
AN threads that hired bumping service I found out that there is a bit more going on. As a matter of fact, it is the latest addition to Verway MLM scheme that is going on since 2017. As previously mentioned, Verway is a MLM company that typically for similar MLM schemes sells beauty/health products (magic creams that remove wrinkles in a couple of minutes etc) but as in all similar schemes, 99% of the people loose money while those few at the top benefit. Add on that fact that Ucacoin hired bumping service that promoted numerous scams before them, and you get the enough reason to open this thread and warn the others.

As in all MLM schemes, it's all about getting as many people as possible into this, and that way generate the revenue, as seen in this nice little pyramid from Ucacoin website
Regarding their coin, UCA, it is just another heavily centralized POS quasi cryptocurrency. What's interesting is the fact despite already being listed on several exchanges (DigiFinex, Cointiger, Crex24 among others) they also sell cards, which when you turn into UCA Coins, that you can later use for staking. Naturally, UCA is down 95% from their ICO.
As mentioned before, Ucacoin hired "marketing agency" to promote thier ANN and fake the interest, as discovered by @nutildah
This farm is back, now spamming for a project called
UCACOIN. I'm gonna go ahead and tag all of them. One tag wasn't enough to stop them but maybe 2 will be, who knows.
Here's a few recent additions to this particular farm, some of which have also commented in the IndexChain thread:
Like the other merited accounts in this farm, most merit for this farm was obtained from Basorexia.
And this is how it looks like on their thread. Part of the spam has been deleted, while rest will deleted soon.
Person behind both Ucacoin and Verway is Ilhan Dogan, who has long history of involvement in MLM schemes. Before starting his own MLM, he was part of
LR Health and Beauty Systems and one of their top sellers. But I guess that wasn't enough so he decided to start his own scheme, again selling similar stuff.
tl;dr
"Cryptocurrency" used for MLM scheme that hired shill accounts for promotion. Avoid at all cost.
