A while ago, I posted a short piece here on SteemIt about Banana Coin.
In it, I questioned whether it could be a scam. The reason for doing so was that the English used on their webpage was either incorrect or poorly used. It didn't help that the project is based in Laos.
Anyway, I still don't know if it is a scam or not, but their reply on my post was this:
Hi David!
Was surfing web - trying to find articles about my project.
First of all, if people know about us - it is already a win.
We originally from Russia and whole website was first made at russian language. We hire a lady with diploma and maybe she wasnt so good, but yes - some places are bad english.
We exist already and everyone can join our plantation in Laos. We made a lottery - winners coming to check us. We support local kids and villages, giving them better lives.
We more REAL project that a PDF with a landing.
All your article was made just to be cooler) You even not get into a subject of our project.
Good luck!
For those who are interested, my reply was as follows:
"All your article was made just to be cooler) You even not get into a subject of our project."
No, you are wrong. It would be much more professional of you to fully acknowledge the criticisms I made rather than point the finger in my direction - if something has some of the hallmarks of a scam, why would somebody want to investigate further or waste time writing more about the project? It simply does not deserve it.
As I said:
"you would expect at least some effort when they are trying to raise millions of dollars"You haven't answered this criticism. You just seem to think it is everybody else's fault.... Very unprofessional!
