Vizionary Review 2.0: Capricoin stalls, new OneGram pump & dump
Vizionary launched in 2015 as a simple membership-based pyramid scheme.
Affiliates paid a fee and were paid to recruit others who did the same. The more paid in fees, the higher the income potential via Vizionary’s compensation plan.
Alexa traffic statistics for the Vizionary website reveal the company began to collapse around May, 2017.
This turned around in September, coinciding with a new direction for the company.
A visit to Vizionary’s website today reveals a number of ICO offerings.
Vizionary itself launched with Capricoin, which pumped to $2.79 back in early 2016 before crashing to around 12 cents.
Coinciding with renewed activity on the Vizionary website, Capricoin is sitting at around 90 cents.
In addition to pyramid recruiting, pumping and dumping ICOs appears to be Vizionary’s new business model.
It’s worth noting that since our 2015 review, Vizionary has reduced their Platinum €2897 EUR package to €1997 EUR and added a new “Vizionary” package for €5997 EUR.
Capricoin is integrated into the compensation plan through a “mining unit resale program”.
Vizionary offers a wholesale platform where you can buy and sell mining time.
The price on mining time can vary depending on supply and demand; however, the maximum price for 1 mining slot is 12.50 Euro.
Vizionary affiliates are given mining slots when they sign up (pay more, get more positions). Affiliates can also invest directly into more mining slots.
Register for free. Choose how many shares of the pool. Pay and wait for the result.
Despite the obvious expectation of passive profit and securities offering, Vizionary provide no indication they are registered to offer securities in any jurisdiction they operate in.
Capricoin itself meanwhile is just as worthless as it was when Vizionary launched.
Although publicly tradeable, Capricoin serves no purpose outside of being a marketing tool to encourage Vizionary affiliate recruitment.
Onegram is an altcoin featured on the Vizionary website.
The company claims Onegram is
he first and only Shariah compliant, physical gold backed cryptocurrency that boasts having held the largest ICO in history.
If you’ve never heard of Onegram you’re not alone. Onegram is also not publicly tradeable and doesn’t exist outside of Vizionary.
Kinda strange for an altcoin claiming to have “held the largest ICO in history”…
Vizionary has an exclusive deal with OneGram to recommend and distribute OneGram coins.
This means that until OneGram is available on external exchanges, the only place to purchase OneGram coins is via a Vizionary membership.
And so following Capricoin not really going anywhere, OneGram looks set to be another pumped altcoin Vizionary affiliates pay the company real money for.
If there’s enough interest Vizionary will probably get OneGram listed on a public exchange, but after that – then what?
Vizionary heavily market OneGram as being “sharia compliant”.
ONEGRAM has enjoyed global media coverage and has been credited to one of the greatest innovations in Islamic Finance.
With only a limited supply of coins, approximately 12,400,786 which equates to half of the supply of Bitcoin and a potential Muslim user population alone amounting to 2 Billion people, ONEGRAM becomes the investment for the future.
Vizionary doesn’t explain why Muslims can’t just use public altcoins.
Typically when we’ve seen MLM cryptocurrency companies bleat about sharia compliance, it’s an attempt to somehow justify paying a return on invested funds.
Here’s how Vizionary market the financial benefits of OneGram;
Once a verified member there are endless benefits such as purchasing unlimited amount of OneGram packs and enjoy the high returns that are associated with a premium currency such as OneGram.
“High returns” and “sharia compliant” don’t go together, especially when you’re talking about a closed-loop monetary system through which Vizionary is shuffling around invested funds on an internal exchange.
New investor money rolls in via “OneGram product packages” and Vizionary use that money to pay withdrwal requests through the internal exchange.
I suspect OneGram’s claim of being sharia compliant is rooted in wordsmithery, as there’s no getting around the flow of money between Vizionary affiliates.
And again, there’s nothing stopping Muslims from using public cryptocurrencies, which are openly traded like any other currency.
So with the marketing nonsense behind OneGram meaningless, what’s left?
Vizionary also offer “OneGram Share Tokens”.
When you purchase a OneGram pack via Vizionary you are given “share” tokens, how many depends upon the package purchased.
These tokens will later be converted for real shares in OneGram, GoldGuard and YallaPay.
The corporate structure of the ONEGRAM organisation will be such that 49% of the share holding in OneGram, GoldGuard and YallaPay will be given out as a FREE Bonus to the members that purchase OneGram coins via Vizionary.
Shares you say? Which market has Vizionary registered its offering of token shares in then?
Oh right, they haven’t.
For reference YallaPay is an attempt to create an e-commerce platform through which OneGram can be used (think OneCoin and its failed DealShaker platform).
There’s also something called “iDealGold”, which is billed as a “personal gold saving platform”.
Imagine having the safety of Gold in you have money in your bank account – and at the same time you have a MasterCard so you can take your money out.
This is exactly what iDealGold offers – but there is more.
A MasterCard you attach money to that is purportedly converted to gold on the backend.
Once you realize iDealGold is being completely pointless and not financially feasible (gold can’t be sold and bought at the speed and efficiency a debit card can be used to spend available funds), all you’re left with is an in-house payment processor.
When you purchase a starter packages – you will also be able to wean commission for building iDealGold as a business.
How you “build a business” around a payment processor is anyone’s guess. Probably a commission on deposits if I had to guess (and I do, because Vizionary provide absolutely no specifics on their website).
At the moment Vizionary recruitment is primarily happening in Germany, South Africa and the US.
Alexa traffic estimates for the Vizionary website suggest the September surge has already gone into decline, although it could obviously pick up again at some point.
As far as Vizionary as an MLM company goes, there are a boat-load of regulatory violations in connection to their mining slots and promise of “high returns” through OneGram.
That’s on top of whatever else they’re promising affiliates through YallaPay and iDealGold.
To see where all of this is going one need only look as far as Capricoin.
Real money paid for worthless points, which post public listing pretty much go nowhere.
Doesn’t seem to bother founder Frode Berg though, who no doubt laughs all the way to the bank as Vizionary affiliates continue to invest on the promise of riches.
Could you or someone make a more detailed review? Onegram seems to be getting popular in the Dubai area.
Onegram itself is just another altcoin.
You invest as a Vizionary affiliate on the expectation Onegram will go up in value and you’ll be able to cash out a ROI through the internal exchange.
There’s no basis to Onegram increasing in value, other than continued recruitment of new Vizionary affiliates who invest. Classic MLM altcoin pump and dump.
But what about the gold behind Onegram? According to their website one Onegram equals at least to one gram of gold.
Also a few months ago during the ICO you could buy Onegram without being a Vizionary member.
Lol.
Guessing that flopped then if they’ve had to re-ICO through a pyramid scheme.
Here is a nice write up about OneGram done by Forbes back in May.
(Ozedit: spam removed)
Oz, just to clarify, I am not promoting it. But I am not sure, how Onegram and Vizionary are connected except for Onegram being sold through Vizionary.
The team on the Onegram website does not seem to be connected with Vizionary.
@Jason
That’s not a Forbes article, it’s a press-release mostly regurgitating OneGram’s marketing pitch.
@Josh
I’d imagine Vizionary get a cut of OneGram investment they drum up. That and a percentage of pre-mined OneGram coins.
How are they connected: beta.companieshouse.gov.uk
Onegram, Goldguard and Yallapay are all UK LTDs with 1 share paid up, the shareholders are Onegram CEO Mohammed Khan and the 3 Vizionary guys Frode, Jesper and Ladislav.
All in the documents under “Filing history”.
Beside that, they also have no license in Dubai for precious metals trading or financial services. Same for UK where they are incorporated, no licenses and not registered with UK financial services authority. I should point out that both in UK and Dubai it is required by law to have those.
It is a pyramid scam with no product.
As for backed by gold? Many people asked them to see it, but nobody ever seen it. they said that PwC are auditing it. I contacted PwX and they know nothing about it.
i seem to remember OneCoin was backed by Aurum Coin -Gold apparently held in Dubai.
Maybe it is the same pot of gold held by the leprechauns here in Ireland when the scheme was pioneered bu John Barrett from 2015 2015/6 and midway through the year it started to be described as underpinning the coins.
It is obvious that here a nobody has formed an opinion without doing any serious research.
If one ignores the hundreds of positive press reports, that Aword of Nov. 2017, which OneGram received for the most innovative financial product of 2017, has further not noticed that the OneGram Coin goes public at two of the largest coin exchanges in Europe and the Middle East in mid-June 2018 and is publicly traded as of July 1 this year, one should forbid him to pretend to have done serious research here.
This is precisely what people should ignore when doing their due diligence into an MLM company.
Any jackass these days can launch a cryptocurrency. OneGram is a second pump and dump attempt from an already failed scam.
Press-release spam, autofellatio awards, getting listed on dodgy exchanges… none of it matters. It’s all part of the pump and dump con.
So what’s the truth, everybody seems to have an opinion here. What do we consider?
Maybe to begin with;Who can send me the Link of the Forbes story, proof that the CEO and his 3 visionaries are part of UK’s Ltd, Proof that One-gram has to only be traded through Visionary or they are just also commission agents, whether they have a license for precious metals or financial services in UK and the latter country and what are their terms of operations as per their license.
When the audit by pwc will be finished. How one-gram will increase in value and is it easy entry and exist, proof of the awards they’ve received. H
ave they been approved by the Islamic finance regulatory authority and the proof, can one easily convert it back to money when the need arises, is it publicly trade-able, is it available on external securities?
Has it already been listed on the crypto currency Gold backed stock exchange. Proof that it’s a pump and dump.
If all this questions am pondering with are answered, i won’t have a single problem investing my $1M to it in any case i need the link for subscribing to it as well.
^^ You’re buying into the BS.
Vizionary is just another MLM altcoin pump and dump scam, coming off the back of a collapsed pyramid scheme.
All the rest of the BS they come up with to con you is smoke and mirrors.
Well let’s see…
Onegram website says that at any time you can exchange your Onegram tokens for real gold grams.
Therefore, one could assume that Onegram might have the equal amount of gold in storage ( 13.669526672153 tonnes of Gold (12 400 786 grams of gold (onegram tokens) ).
They would most likely not have this amount of Gold in storage and work like an investment bank in the sense that they are calculating that all the customers won’t suddenly come along and ask for their money (think “Northern Rock” Bank scenario).
But what happens when the price of tokens go below the equivalent price of gold gram?
Don’t worry it won’t go below the USD price of Onegram of gold! 🙂
Because Onegram is only on exchanges managed by Onegram – so Onegram coders can just code your exchange app to never go below this price! Hurrah!
And then no one will ask for a ~40USD gram of gold when they have a token worth more in USD!
Or tell me I have it all wrong?
Never assume anything without verifiable evidence.
This becomes even more important when you’re analyzing a scam that’s rebooted to stay afloat a while longer.
Thanks for the reply Oz.
My main point is that the only exchange you can trade Onegram on is Huulk Exchange which is owned and run by the owners of Onegram.
So how can anyone know whether the price of Onegram is rigged to stay above the price of one gram of gold – you can’t compare prices across different exchanges and the exchange program code is closed source
If the only exchange you can trade an MLM altcoin on is owned by the MLM company, obviously the exchange is rigged.
There is no gold, Vizionary are just printing monopoly money points.
OGC is a Scam! They say that the value of 1 OGC is now approximately €150. But if you want to sell their coin, theu will only give you like €50 for it!
They are lying and they use Islam for their benefit.
PAAAAMP EEEEET!
DAAAAMP EEEEET!
Working as intended.
As a fool who bought into this scam, I am pissed as hell to discover the truth of everything you say.
It’s completely impossible to sell this shit-coin. i have multiple times had sell orders cancel themselves, and the price shooting way about my order price without any sales going through!
How is it possible to obtain proof that they are not a registered in UK and Dubai with financial services?
I want to burn this asshole to the ground online. He has 1 BTC of mine for 75 crappy useless coins.
In the UK it’s the Financial Services Register – register.fca.org.uk/
Dubai is scam heaven with little to no regulation.
