A Coimbatore-based private company has been accused of running an innovative scam that promised people to earn money by watching advertisements. The company has been accused of luring people into joining the scheme by offering them various levels of membership, each with its own set of benefits. The basic membership costs Rs.360, while the highest level membership costs Rs.1,21,260.
The company also offered to provide herbal products and ayurvedic capsules to its members. However, the company’s owner has been accused of manufacturing these products without proper authorization.
A police complaint was filed against the company by a sub-inspector at the Coimbatore cyber crime police station. The complaint alleged that the company was running a scam and luring people into joining by promising them easy money.
The company’s owner has also been accused of selling herbal products without a license.
In response to the police complaint, the company’s owner posted a video on YouTube, urging his supporters to gather in protest. On Saturday, more than 10,000 people gathered in Coimbatore to support the company.
The protesters alleged that the police case against the company was based on false allegations.
The police and the company’s owner held talks with the protesters, who eventually dispersed.
The company has over 50 lakh members across India.
The protest by the company’s supporters in Coimbatore caused a stir. Police were deployed in the area to maintain law and order.
