So basically about 2-3 months ago I started seeing ads for people claiming to have "changed their lives" by becoming "online entreprenuers" and starting their own "digital business." These posts are remarkably similar to all the MLM posts that are posted here. I've screencapped a few of them and stuck them into an album so you can see what I'm talking about.
While this is obviously a scam, I'm not sure if it's a pyramid scheme or a ponzi scheme or something else. What's even more annoying is the comments section is ALWAYS tons of people commenting the same things like:
-
This is the best digital business! I'm so glad I found this!
-
It even runs while you sleep!
-
It's changed my life! I'm my own boss and have time spend with my family!
The posts are always encouraging people to click their ad and sign up for their "complimentary workshop where they can learn more."
It's clear just from seeing and reporting so many of these ads that this is where they become brainwashed and told to start their own stream of ads, and likely comment on other peoples posts in a sad attempt to make them seem legitimate.
I've tried searching what this actually is, but as "digital business" is a pretty vague search term and they never give any names in the post, I've turned up blank so far.
I've been seeing these ads in Canada.
Anyway, anyone else been seeing them? Any ideas what the actual scam is? And you are seeing them please call them out on running a scam and report the ads to Facebook. I've had success getting a number of them taken down.
Wouldn't be surprised if it's a mining (cryptocurrency) scam to use your computer to mine random coins hoping they'll breakout.
Wild speculation, no idea for sure.
You are exactly correct. However embarrassing it is for me to admit to, I will share my experience. I spent 149 usd for what I was convinced would be a coaching session, which turned out to be an attempt to sell me on an $11,000 water filter. They tout true out there presentations that the $149 has got a money back guarantee. As it turns out their guarantee is a lie. I am battling with them as we speak. I assured them that if I don't get my money back that I will be telling everyone in the world how much of a scam they are. They call themselves digital Business Online. They should call themselves 149 US Dollars scam online because who in the world actually has $11,000 in their Hip Pocket to buy a system that they don't even know whether it works or not. It's all based on the claims of all of these so-called distributors who of course all stand to get paid 50 US dollars for their individual coaching efforts, which really are not coaching effort they are selling efforts. Anyhow that's where I am at right now.
