VeChain and carVertical, although two very different projects with very different goals, have both claimed parternships with BMW over recent weeks. As has been revealed over the last few hours, although VEN continues to be a reliable project, cV is a scam.
Here is the tweet from cV announcing their "partnership" with BMW on 15th March:
The big news community was talking about is finally here. carVertical is proudly announcing the partnership with BMW Group. Both companies collaborate to create the first ever connected reports for cars.
And here is the tweet from BMW earlier today (20th March) denying any such thing:
BMW has not entered into a cooperation/partnership with CarVertical. The company is using our BMW CarData interface available to any third party.
An absolute disgrace, and an obvious attempt to scam potential buyers. Yet another example of a scam coin making all of crypto look bad. If you are invested in this scam, I would recommend getting out ASAP.
Meanwhile, BMW confirmed their
partnership with VEN:
VeChain is participating in the BMW Startup Garage programme. As a Venture Client, the BMW Group becomes a customer of the start-up at a time when the product, technology or service is not yet ready for the market.
