Seva Canada returns OneCoin donations, severs ties
Often one of the casualties of the MLM underbelly is that of charity.
With less than legitimate business models, MLM underbelly opportunities often seek to artificially create legitimacy through charitable association.
Typically an MLM opportunity will either directly set up an organization themselves as a charity make donations to third-parties.
OneCoin is one such example, having set up the One World Foundation through which its charitable donations are made.
A video on the official OneCoin YouTube channel reveals detail about the first of these donations:
As part of the corporate social responsibility of OneCoin, Dr. Ignatova founded in 2014 a non profit organisation; One World Foundation.
One World Foundation is eager to multiply the life-changing stories of children and youth from the poorest regions of the world.
We’ve chosen to collaborate our first phase of charity activity with Seva Canada, and we’ve donated eyesight-restoring surgery with immediate impact on the health conditions of seventy-three children in Cambodia.
The video is titled “One World Foundation” and was uploaded on May 21st, 2015.
Perusal of the featured Seva Canada website in the video however reveals the organization distancing itself from OneCoin and their foundation.
In the footer of the “Seva Supports” page of the charity’s website, the following text appears:
Please note: Seva Canada has no current relationship with One World Foundation or OneCoin.
This is in rather sharp contrast with the following text, which at the time of publication appears at the footer of the One World Foundation website:
One World Foundation is one of the major donators of Seva Canada Society.
Did One World Foundation donate to Seva Canada? And if so, why is the charity explicitly clarifying they have no relationship with OneCoin?
A statement purportedly issued by Penny Lyons, Executive Director at Seva Canada, sheds some light on the matter:
From: Penny Lyons
Date: 09:13 AM 06/22/2015Hi (I’ve removed for his privacy);
Seva Canada did receive funding from One World Foundation. We have since returned their donations (2) and severed all ties with the Foundation and OneCoin.
Regards,
Penny Lyons
Executive Director
Seva Canada Society
On their website, Seva Canada list a number of corporate sponsors, with the society itself claiming to
have an amazing community of supporters, ranging from individual donors and advocates for Seva’s mission, foundations, corporations and institutions who help make our work possible, and talented photographers who donate their images so that we can show you what we do.
We believe that restoring a person’s sight and preventing blindness is one of the most effective ways to alleviate suffering, transform the lives of individuals and families, and alleviate poverty. We believe that everyone has the right to sight.
Through our partners, Seva is creating sustainable, economically viable, locally managed eye care programs that will continue to serve local populations long after Seva’s involvement is complete.
So why on Earth would Seva Canada return funds allegedly donated in good faith back to OneCoin and its One World Foundation then?
this is so cool.
all it takes is one alert member of the public, to expose the lies of global ponzi schemes.
i think seva canada will soon be writing and insisting that ruja to remove any reference to them on her ponzi website.
one person called jodi dojnia exposed the onecoin ‘forbes’ lie which seems to have effected their recruitment capacity, because the affiliates are really pissed.
one person got seva canada to dump onecoin and shatter the ‘charitable and conscientious’ aura onecoin was trying to establish to bring more investors into their ‘noble cause’.
the hungarian bank has issued a ‘pyramid scheme’ warning against onecoin.
finland is investigating onecoin.
ruja has taken her ponzi to the US which cannot lead to pleasant things.
the ‘potential’ energy is reaching a threshold level and a ‘kinetic’ dash to a crash may well be on the anvil 🙂
Well July the 4th is next weekend. Not far off now.
I and no doubt many anxious US OneCoin investors will be expecting full SEC registration information and disclosure…
If they are smart they will! All of this credible information from behindmlm and your readers and people are still in denial.
All they need to do is to look back on this site and see just how many times you have been right about an opportunity! Thats what I did.
I got tired of taking the word of people just trying to recruit me. I got tired of joining a supposed great opportunity only to be burnt and have the people that trusted me take my word and be burnt.
I got tired of hearing people say that behindmlm was just a blogger who was paid to write things… did I ever think I would be here trying to help keep others from being burned…Never!…but ya wanna know something.. I checked out the behindmlm blog myself… I looked back at all the times new articles were written about a company and then followed what happened with these companies.. and sadly what I found was that over and over again people were hurt…
behindmlm had the writing right there on the wall… company after company failed. And people continue to stay in denial and bash the behindmlm site.
I am from the US…and I will tell you this… Onecoin better be sure to have all their I’s dotted and T’s crossed… because I am going to do all I can to get the SEC’s attention to this business..
If Onecoin has nothing to hide then they really shouldn’t mind me making the SEC aware of some of the concerns surrounding this opportunity.
Lastly…I just want to say thank you to everyone here who has worked so hard at trying to protect people from getting hurt with this…
my only hope now is that readers checking into this company will take the information that we have all worked so hard at finding out, and use it to at least make a more informed decision and not just listen to all the hype and B S out there.
ken labine said on a video that ruja ignatova has ‘gone through’ the barrack obama govt before she launched onecoin in the US.
that ^^ is pretty high level talk, maybe the SEC will appear personally on july 4th to bless onecoin!
They will most likely let the lawyer handle it “in a friendly manner”. They don’t really have a case where they can use legal threats (“breach of contract”, “defamation”, “Copyright”, etc.).
But they can point out that “When the two donations now have been returned, our part of the agreement has been reversed. We will hereby terminate the license to use Seva materials in marketing”.
They won’t use exactly that procedure, but I’m pretty sure they will let the lawyer handle it “in a friendly manner”.
Charitable organizations should not be eager to sue donors or sponsors. They don’t run that type of business, it’s based on friendly relationships more than on “hardcore business rules”.
So you can’t expect Seva Canada to “push” for removal through legal threats. It doesn’t have many legal cards to play.
of course they have a legal card to use.
seva canada has returned onecoins donations, and do not wish to have any further relationship with them. hence onecoin cannot legally insinuate any relationship with seva on their website or otherwise, moving forward.
Good job Dojnia! One such person in every country and their live is getting cruel 😉
My intention was to make the true facts be more vieved in Sweden and Finland. In Finland it was so easy because I knew an influential person who has been writing about this already in February.
See this blog in Finnish:
translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A//pjarvinen.blogspot.fi/%23uds-search-results&hl=en&langpair=auto|en&tbb=1&ie=UTF-8
you then search “onecoin” to the right and you should get all the 5 results.
In Sweden it has been more difficult. I send my chapters 1-4 to all the blogs and newspapers in Sweden. Got answer from a blogger who admitted it was a Ponzi but he had no time for this by now. I tried to warn people on Facebook but i was kicked out from FB very quickly.
One dictator in Sweden who has made most money there is
Stefan Sjödin
blogger.com/profile/06653085001529768135
facebook.com/stefan.sjodin.7
He has currently a full control of the Sweden community and succeed well after Dubai.
SWE 3039-5252
FIN 4000-5239
Yesterday (today in US) Sweden surpassed Finland for the first time. Very strange because Sweden and Finland are very similar countries but people in Finland has by far more knowledge than people in Sweden.
You can’t find any article about Onecoin in Swedish, but Onecoin in Finland was on TV, radio, several newspapers and so on. Ruja was also 2 times in Finland. But i knew Sweden would surpass Finland in June.
Stefan Sjödin kicks every single post and person out who “share some negative info about OneCoin”.
He won’t answer any good questions on FB and that’s why it was so easy to get new members there. Juha Parhiala did help too, by visiting Stockholm and Guthenburg 2 weeks ago.
I tied to concentrate my work in Sweden to this “free word site”:
flashback.org/t2546019
you can find my posts on page 6+. I’m Swedish speaking so if you want some help in “sharing true info” about Onecoin i’m here to help. You can contact me on by blog or my Youtube channel.

apparently seva canada has pissed off ken labine, top canadian recruiter of onecoin , because he called them up and gave them an earful:
did seva know they were rejecting the donations of half a million people? did seva know that ruja ignatova was a brilliant lady who is going to take over the world? did seva understand cryptocurrency? did seva know it had made a big boo boo and should correct their stance immediately? yada yada.
in response, the polite lady at seva told labine that: onecoin did not fit Seva’s business model.
and this is ALL behindmlm and dojnia’s fault with some credit given to commentators like norway, chang and a-n-a-jali 🙂
when onecoin crashes, labine could try being a standup comedian. he wont need any ‘material’, he will just need to speak.
I can probably add some sources, e.g. about those “Gift Codes”.
The review here is from September 23 2014. A few things have changed after that. Affiliates in the U.S. sell “Gift Codes” to new members, so the monetary transaction will be between new member → recruiting sponsor (two private bank accounts).
The sponsor will use the internal “Cash Account” to pay for a Gift Code, a non-monetary transaction between internal accounts.
If they have trouble understanding my explanation then they can compare “Gift Codes” to TelexFree’s internal transactions. OneCoin’s system has exactly the same function as the internal transactions in TelexFree, e.g. when new recruits bought AdCentrals directly from a recruiting sponsor.

Jodi, have you found out anymore info on the Ruja foundation or anything on OneCoin? It has been very quiet with OneCoin, wonder why?
Does anyone have info? What happened to the onecoinscam site?
Who owns xcoinx? And why isn’t OneCoin listed on coinmarketcap site, but on xcoinx? Who owns these two sites, if anyone knows?
One coin recruiters are pushing this Ponzi scam with vigor on Facebook we must do all we can to bring these dodgy recruiters to justice!
One World Foundation’s website has been modified. All references to SEVA has been removed (except one place, SEVA is still mentioned two times under “Events and fundraising”).
All SEVA photos have been removed too.
All in all, it’s probably what a lawyer will see as “acceptable enough” in the current situation (“there’s no reason to be unfriendly or to nitpick details”).
ha. so SEVA kicked ruja’ butt. well done SEVA.
of course its not ‘acceptable enough’.
SEVA returned ruja’s money. ruja and her onecoin cannot make false claims like ‘which provides us with a place among the major donors of SEVA Canada Society’ or ‘One World Foundation will work closely with SEVA Canada Society on projects’.
SEVA canada should get such misinformation removed from one world foundation’s site. they have only got half the job done. slimy buggers like rujamama need continuous whip cracking to comply.
