Chengcheng has been involved in competing cameras, laptops, microwaves, and so on, but never succeeded.

Face "Together" the status of the site, users suspect there is no real goods, it is just let users buy "competition point" bait.

Who's buying and selling?

Users to buy and sell "competition point" to make money, is "competing" site the most attractive place.

Although the site claims that "players can buy and sell competition points", but now Liu Yang, Chengcheng and other users began to suspect, "competition point" to whom?

In fact, the purchase and sale of "competition point" by the website agent, buyers and sellers are not directly linked. "Maybe it's being bought back by the Web site to reassure us and keep us investing," he said. Liu Yang said.

Liu Yang said that in mid-July, he had made up his mind, and all "competition points" after the entry into force, they pulled out. He is expected to retire by mid-August due to a delay in the entry into force of the competition. Don't want to, "together" site suddenly inaccessible.

Is it suspected of a disguised pyramid scheme?

The second is April 29, many websites appear "together" to confirm the second round of financing total 2.2 million dollars has been reported. This has increased the investment of many users.

He said, ignoring the most important point of the prepaid card delay effective. During the 8-25-day period, the money is actually for the site, and they have plenty of time to operate.

A number of lawyers said the site was operating on suspicion of contract fraud or variable MLM.
