DagCoin mimics OneCoin’s OneLife with “Success Factory”
Further cementing DagCoin as a clone of the OneCoin Ponzi scheme, comes the introduction of Success Factory.
Success Factory was announced back in March at a Dubai DagCoin rahrah gig for top investors.
Here’s how the spin-off is marketed on the official Success Factory website:
We believe that the world has gone through a massive shift in the last 10-20 years. Computers, the internet, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies and other new technologies have changed almost every industry.
Every industry, except one – the school system.
We believe that every modern school should teach the newest technologies, new possibilities and show how we all can benefit from them. And this is exactly why we created Success Factory.
Yep, under the guise of offering “education” – this is pretty much what OneCoin did with OneLife.
We are dagcoin’s educational partner and because of that dagcoin will reward everybody, who passes the courses, with free dagcoins – the more you learn, the more you earn!
Like OneCoin, whatever education DagCoin is offering through Success Factory has been designed with one goal in mind:
To get you to invest in DagCoin.
You see, it’s much easier to lead with education nonsense then it is to just be upfront:
Yo, we have these points we want you to invest in.
Something something education, they’ll be worth a gajillion dollars someday.
…
What are you, some kind of uneducated dumbass?
Fine. Be that way – I’m riding Wahlroos’ lambo to the moon baby!
With Success Factory, DagCoin creates the illusion of distancing itself from financial fraud.
Think OneLife pretending to only “offer education” every time authorities busted OneCoin for fraud. Not to mention the money laundering benefits having a shell company provides.
As with getting affiliates to invest, “We hand out PDF files” is also a much easier sell for payment processors and banks over “We’re a Ponzi scheme”.
Despite launching over a year ago, DagCoin has thus far failed to gain any real traction – largely due to it failing to capitalize on OneCoin’s collapse.
DagCoin’s internal corporate structure meanwhile is still much of a mystery. The logical next step from the OneCoin playbook would be setting up dozens of shell companies to receive funds through – if DagCoin aren’t on top of that already.
As for DAG itself, like OneCoin it’s still nothing more than internally traded Ponzi points. All you can do is cash them out through an internal exchange, requests which DagCoin honors with subsequently invested funds.
Funny how MLM cryptocurrency companies always claim they’re at the forefront of bleeding edge technology, yet actual implementation happens at stone-age pacing.
What comes to the possibilities for the affiliates to cash out, it’s not all that simple either. Here’s a quote of myself from the other chain:
A correction to the Paygety part:
Paygety “seems to be working” at the moment and price has collapsed again.
The site says: DAG to Euro rate (buy/sell): €0.06/0.07
Having gone through OneCoin’s collapse as an affiliate, Grossberg is no doubt painfully aware of what happens if disables withdrawals.
The bullshit manipulation going on with Paygety’s stated prices, one to market with and one that keeps up with new investment, will still eventually collapse.
Ponzi schemes are a zero sum game. Once the top investor withdrawals tip critical mass, it’s over.
No matter what Grossberg does he’s only prolonging the inevitable.
BullshitForHome published this list of alleged TopEarners of DagCoin in May:
NOLINK://share-your-photo.com/f958a03812
It is interesting that Kari Wahlroos is not mentioned. So he earns less than $ 14,000 a month?
Kari is ”Chief Network Officer”, he does not have a downline at all. Same was the case with OneCoin – he was “European Ambassador” and did not have a downline.
Not officially… *winkwink*
Secret corporate positions at the top of the company-wide affiliate-base and all. Exactly the same as OneCoin I’d well imagine.
I have an eye on the Cimbala Family on facebook from time to time.
It seems business is going very well for them since they left nonecoin: no more Steinkeller brothers above them!
For the rest it’s exact the same story as with Ruja and her scheme, how can people still trust them?
Part misguided trust, part hoping this time they’ll be the one’s stealing from those who join after them.
Greed turns people into idiots.
Can anyone who’s into this clarify a bit more after the recent publication of BFH website:
businessforhome.org/2018/11/success-factory-dagcoin-crypto-review/?utm_campaign=email&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter
It’s not the first time this website is positive when it comes to Coin scams remember Onecoin and his friend Igor.
The fact they want more interviews (let’s call them paid publicity) could mean that the machine is slowing down instead of speeding up.
But identical to Onecoin in the early 2 years, there’s not enough critical inside view on this to me once more a scam.
Here’s a simplified explanation:
If you go to BFH’s top earner list, it features Igor Alberts and his wife.
Nyuten’s been featuring Alberts and his OneCoin/DagCoin downline for years now. Not for free.
To maintain the illusion of integrity when you’re celebrating Ponzi scammers among otherwise legitimate top earners in the MLM industry, you need to first attempt to legitimize the Ponzi scheme.
So long as the checks are made out, BFH will continue to pretend DagCoin isn’t a Ponzi scheme. Just like they did with OneCoin.
That is true ! And only 1 income earner from Dagcoin is listed so the others or haven’t provided their numbers yet or have become more carefull not putting it out in the open.
Anyway the complete list of names that should provide Dagcoin with a green flag in terms of credibility are all previous Onecoin scammers who stole millions from people there and than.
It’s like a dejavue, they are on a roll again and nobody files an official complaint anywhere to stop them.
By the time governments will be aware and alerted, they have the millions in their pockets once more and can move on to the next Scamcoin to repeat the story.
After more than a million per month with Onecoin, the scamming story continues now with even more.
businessforhome.org/2019/04/igor-alberts-and-andreea-cimbala-achieve-1-6-million-per-month-with-success-factory-dagcoin/?fbclid=IwAR0j6yL-gjhW9G8RpoIEk8obiE_ZkJks_xN5gVs6aCNU00voUWUfhR7b9uQ
Incredible the Dutch government isn’t doing anything to stop these idiots.
DagCoin says in SuccessFactory backoffice news that they had a record month (although there is no way to confirm this):
The fact they can sell their currency for 50% off from the current “price” tells everything you need to know about the legitimacy of DagCoin.
Dunno about record months but they’re not lying about Europe.
Finland and Germany are getting pillaged at the moment (Alexa).
Thanks for that info Oz.
Also worth noticing: I browsed through the DagCoin “Merchant Finder” that claims to have over 600 DagCoin-accepting merchants globally.
(At this point keep in mind that DagCoins – unlike OneCoins – in fact CAN be transferred from one person to another. But Coins that get transferred even once can no longer be sold in the internal exchange which makes this feature rather pointless.)
In the merchants we have some rather amusing cases like Jeunesse and Herbalife, coupled with homeopatic services etc. But the split per country is even more interesting:
– 208 merchants in Russia (151 of them are located in three cities that all are within a less-than-50-kilometer radius from each other, i.e. 30 mile radius for the convenience of the Americans).
– 96 merchants in Colombia
– 61 merchants in Estonia, which is the home country of DagCoin.
Rest of the world gets less merchants than 3 largest countries combined (fourth in the list is Mexico that has 32 merchants).
Only 40 countries in the world are listing any merchants.
18 countries of these 40 list just one single merchant.
The 154-country majority of this planet has no DagCoin-accepting merchants at all and unsurprisingly the United States of America is in that list.
Oh my apologies, the merchant promoting Jeunesse has taken the pages out since the last time I checked. But the Colombian Herbalife seller is there still:
NOLINK://https://merchant.dagcoin.org/merchant/diosa-herbalife/7182ead4-4c3f-4358-89a4-4703edbfab30
Are they actual merchants or just affiliates with side businesses? (cafes, dodgy ebay shops, convenience stores etc.)
I can guarantee you any Herbalife or Jeunesse “merchant” that shows up is just some distributor who’s signed up.
Like OneCoin, it’s just one DagCoin affiliate transferring points to another. No real third-party merchants or adoption.
I’m well aware that we have a replay of OneCoin Dealshaker:
1) Completely made-up “merchants”
2) Merchants that do exist but were put into DealShaker without their own knowledge about it.
3) Affiliates as private persons selling to each another.
4) Small affiliate-owned companies selling giveaway goods for 100% DagCoins so they can create an illusion of the legitimacy of DagCoin (and then sell more DagCoin “education” to their downline).
5) Non-affiliate merchants who have been convinced by affiliates that DagCoin is a legit payment method.
The merchants of the type “5” in the list drop out once they notice that the coins cannot be exchanged to fiat at all. This same thing happened with OneCoin – there were all kinds of stuff for sale and once the deal ran out of coupons, the merchant never added more stuff for sale.
Further: as anyone can see from the merchant.dagcoin.org page, there’s the same variance. I’ll pick up some cases:
1) Diabetic Kids Support Organization whose website says “server not found” and has no archived versions in The Internet Archive. ( NOLINK://https://merchant.dagcoin.org/merchant/sweetest-kids/ebffcbb9-3780-4498-92f1-b12552033f6b )
2) A book “How to be resilient” from the author. The actual website linked does not mention DagCoin at all, nor does it offer any means of payment other than Credit Card and PayPal. (Not that it matters since buying a single copy of the e-book in question is free of charge.) NOLINK://https://merchant.dagcoin.org/merchant/academy-of-resilience/43f80a5c-cf4b-44c5-82b9-2652be561dcf
3) Handcrafts of different sorts: NOLINK://https://merchant.dagcoin.org/merchant/arte-en-pasta-flexible/d2ff14dd-6dd7-47d8-bd02-28700a44c40e
4) A company named “Dagservices” for which you can guess from the name if it’s affiliate-based: NOLINK://https://merchant.dagcoin.org/merchant/dagservices/914bc7f1-4e09-4d33-8310-8a442e31ecd5
5) Small restaurant in Colombia (it actually has a photo of their cafe that shows the “we accept DagCoins” – logo): NOLINK://https://merchant.dagcoin.org/merchant/restaurante-lisseth/abc88dd6-420f-4afc-878f-d85446c17391
The numbering method used in both lists is not coincidential.
Today appear video on youtube how a success factory black diamond receives “a brand new Mercedes-Benz!”
youtu.be/Xh1Vwj26W_c
You can see in video how Nils gives over the keys in front of car salong belonging to company SilberAuto – the only official exlusive Merc dealership in Estonia selling brand new cars.
The registration number is 575DBY (share-your-photo.com/d92c53519a)
Lets search the vehicle in Estonian Road Administration e-service (eteenindus.mnt.ee/public/soidukDetailvaadeAvalik.jsf)
The result shows car with VIN WDD2050111R446796 with following remark:
share-your-photo.com/4aca600cde
share-your-photo.com/bdaa78abb4
When running google search for the VIN, we can see that a used car dealership “nordauto” has this car for sale as used with 3300km mileage.
Today (04.09) is the advertisment active and Google cache shows that the ad was apparent at the website already on 11.06.2019
webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:_ewvBMjxoFMJ:https://nordauto.ee/en/car/%3Fvehicle_id%3Db3227dc208a5b5433327l6+&cd=4&hl=et&ct=clnk&gl=ee
TL:TD – although the car is still on sale on a used car dealership since not later than June, the scammers post a video where they “hand over” the car as “brand new” in front of another dealership which as the exclusive right to sell factory cars.
Beware of these scammers!
It seems Kari Wahlroos jumped to another ship?

Can’t say I’m surprised. Despite the Ted Nuyten spam Dagcoin has been going nowhere for a while.

Here’s a nice statistic from the Success Factory “internal exchange”:
Today there were a combined amount of 26,599,155.47 DAG for sale (for a company-dictated price of 0.49 €/DAG).
During the previous 24 hours there were 3,500 DAGs sold.
If nobody adds any more DAGS for sale, the DAGs currently for sale in the internal exchange will all be sold in 7,652 days – just a little shy of 21 YEARS. And anyone putting their coins for sale today would have to wait that long before getting rid of his/her coins.
(Of course it is not that straightforward. Any sales assignment gets automatically removed after a week.
Also the total amount of DAGs that can be for sale at any given time seems to be limited somehow.)
Morover:
24h sales volume of DAGs was roughly 1,800 euros. That wouldn’t pay back even ONE investor, far less several. And there should be thousands and thousands of investors who have invested in this.

Today’s Dagcoin scammers show little imagination when calling their YouTube channel this:
Is that a coincidence or an intention? The former OneCoin fraudster Quini Amores presented the so-called “Success Factory” there on July 27, 2020. In the past, serial cheater Quini Amores has also promoted the Circle of Finance (Invicta) scam.
