Topic: Beware of PLUGGLE! - page 2. (Read 541 times)

buti pala hindi ako sumali jan,, hindi kasi ko magaling mag invite kaya hindi ako sumali.. kuntento na kasi ko sa mga bounty/airdrops

Wala na atang pluggle ngayon alifelong naman pumalit sa una lang talaga yan nagbabayad tapos ginagamit pa ang coins.ph para iisipin ng mga investor na legit tong ponzi scheme

Ang alam ko giggle na ang new name nito. Well, ingat lang sa pagsali

Madaming ganyan na nagkalat sa mga facebook group pangalan palang ng pluggle halatang scam na ang mga ganyan sa una lang nagbabayad para pasabikin ang mga nag invest then after a few weeks or month bigla bigla nalangmawawala ang masakit lang madami padin nagpapaloko kaya nga hindi matapos tapos ang mga ponzi scheme na naglipana sa internet.

sikat na sikat yan dati sa mga facebook group.malas ang mga huli sumali jan ang kumita lng ang mga nauna.bakit kaya dami pa ri  sumasali sa ganyan hnd nila iniisip san kinukuha ng mga ponzi ang pangbayad sa kanila hnd nila alam sa mga cash in lng ng tao ang pinapapabayad sa kanila

Kaya minsan nasisira ang pangalan ng bitcoin dahil sa mga ganitong gawain, akala nila scam din to dahil nakadepende ang mga scam sa bitcoin kaya nawawalan ng tiwala ang marami. Just saying

Kaya nga e. Ang daming kumakalat na mga post sa facebook tungkol sa pluggle na yan. Pinag-aralan ko ang pluggle pero di ko sinubukan sumali. Parang networking din yan, kailangan may mga maiinvite ka. Cash in ka ng P 1,000 sa kanila para maging ok yung account mo. Tapos may mga bayad kada invite at kada login, pero hindi ako naniniwala. Ayoko ko talaga ng networking. Kung titignan mo kasi, yung scheme niya parang networking e.

Bakit hanggang ngayon kumakalat parin sa fb yan? Yes! kumikita ka sa pluggle pero its ponzi scheme, magkakapera ka lang if may mga invites ka, if wala nganga diba? Ewan ko sa ibang tao kung bakit gustong gusto nilang ipakalat yang pluggle eh alam naman nilang mahirap kumita diyan. Lalo na sa mga baguhan sa crypto binunulag yang pluggle na yan. Kaya iniisip ang tingin ng mga tao sa networking ay scam. dahil pati crypto naapektuhan diyan.

Lagi kong nakikita yang pluggle na yan sa newsfeed ko. Marami na rin kumita dyan pero pyramid scheme sya kasi kailangan mo mag refer para kumita. Kawawa yung mga nahuli kasi mahihirapan sila maghakot ng invites since marami ng naunang sumali.

Usong uso nga eto noon sa mga facebook groups. Kaya yun mga gusto ng instant money dun agad sila nag invest karamihan pa naman puro pinoy nahihikayat mag tapon ng pera nila dun.

Matagal ko na narinig ang pluggle actually may nag invite pa nga saakin na kakilala para sumali pero di ko pinatulan katulad lng eto ng networking, hindi kikita kung walang mainvite kaya mga baguhan nalng ang ang mahihikayat nila sa ganitong mga modos na investment.

I have a few facebook contacts who have been enticing me with benefits for investing with Pluggle so I tried to look online for information and I found this in the webpage of Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC) :

(I quote)

"The Commission has received information that individuals or group of persons
representing PLUGGLE, INC. are enticing the public to invest in the said entity. Based on
the reports received from the public, PLUGGLE claims that it has an advertising website
wherein its members can receive significant gains from their One Thousand pesos
(P1,000) initial investment by simply logging in everyday or by obtaining referrals.
According to the information communicated to the Commission, PLUGGLE
requires its members to sign up to its website through a sponsored link and to purchase
an activation code worth One Thousand pesos (P1,000) through their accounts using
bitcoin or through other legitimate members or leaders. PLUGGLE claims its members
may earn in 6 ways:


1. Sign up bonus – The member will earn One Hundred pesos (P100) upon
registration;
2. Personal login bonus – The member will earn One Hundred pesos (P100)
every time he/she logs in his/her account;
3. Group login bonus – The member will earn Sixty pesos (P60) per login of
his/her 1st level downlines and Forty pesos (P40) per login of his/her 2nd
level downlines;
4. Follow bonus – The member will earn One Hundred pesos (P100) for every
person he/she sponsors into the system. There are no limitations as to the
number of persons the member intends to sponsor;
5. Leveling bonus – The member will earn Four Hundred pesos (P400) for one
(1) pair in each level down to the 10th level of the binary structure;
6. Pairing bonus – The member will earn One Hundred pesos (P100) for every
pair in the binary structure. There are no limitations as to the number pairs.


To avoid overpayment, the Personal and Group login bonuses combined are
limited to One Thousand Three Hundred pesos (P1,300) for 12 days and the Pairing
bonuses are limited to 30 pairs per day or Three Thousand pesos (P3,000) per day per
account. However, a member may register two (2) or more accounts but only the main
account will have a login bonus of One Thousand Three Hundred pesos (P1,300).
In its Facebook Account PLUGGLE promises a return of 30% - 100% in 12 days
with the above-mentioned system.
The public is hereby informed that PLUGGLE, INC., despite having been
registered with the Commission as a corporation, is not authorized to solicit
investments from the public as it has not secured the necessary license or permit
from the Commission as required under Sections 8 and 12 of the Securities Regulation
Code (SRC).
Consequently, those who act as salesman, brokers, dealers or agents of
PLUGGLE, INC., in selling or convincing people to invest in the investment scheme being
offered by PLUGGLE, INC. including solicitations or recruitment through the internet
may likewise be prosecuted and held criminally liable under Section 28 of the Securities
Regulation Code and penalized with a maximum fine of Five Million pesos
(P5,000,000.00) or penalty of Twenty One (21) years imprisonment or both pursuant
to Section 73 of the SRC.
Accordingly, those who invite or recruit other people to join or invest in this
venture or offer contracts or securities to the public may be held liable or accordingly
sanctioned or penalized in accordance with the Supreme Court decision in the case of
SEC vs. Oudine Santos (G.R. No. 195542, March 19, 2014).
Regarding the use of Bitcoin in the investment scheme, the public is further
informed that pursuant to Memorandum Circular No. 944, s, 2017, “The Bangko
Sentral does not intend to endorse any VC (virtual currency), such as bitcoin, as a
currency since it is neither issued or guaranteed by a central bank nor backed by
any commodity. Rather, the BSP aims to regulate VCs when used for delivery of
financial services, particularly, for payments and remittances, which have material
impact on anti-money laundering (AML) and combating the financing of terrorism
(CFT), consumer protection and financial stability.”
In view thereof, the public is hereby advised to exercise caution before investing
in these kinds of activities and to take the necessary precaution in dealing with
PLUGGLE, INC. or its representatives.
Should you have any information regarding the operation of the subject entity,
please call the Enforcement and Investor Protection Department at telephone numbers

For guidance of the public."

I don't seem to understand this part:

". . . The public is hereby informed that PLUGGLE, INC., despite having been
registered with the Commission as a corporation, is not authorized to solicit
investments from the public as it has not secured the necessary license or permit
from the Commission as required under Sections 8 and 12 of the Securities Regulation
Code (SRC). . . "

How can they have registered if they have not secured a permit?

and,

Does this means that those facebook contacts of mine, trying to get me to invest can be considered criminals then?

and lastly,

Anybody here from the Pluggle team that can give an explanation?
