Investors beware : This is a data gathering ponzi scheme.
This site has complete control of your coins earned and locks your access from using them or withdrawing them for 90 days for each earned amount.
The site randomly removes your earned coins to upgrade your account, this is done without notification or authorization.
The site uses data gathering in multiple aspects as well as persuades the user to submit more data for added rewards, the sale of acquired data is briefly mentioned in the terms of use but does not disclose that the main goal is the acquiring and selling of data.
The site persuades the users to invest into multiple ponzi scheme tiers for increased rewards for each tier as well as referral ponzi reward structuring.
Please be aware of this before investing your money.

Hello - we're sorry to hear that you have formed such a negative opinion of our project with misinformation.

To address each:

1) All services that users purchase on empowr are done so manually by the user. If they choose to opt-into a monthly subscription, they do so at their own choice and are sent an email prior to and before they are charged.

We currently only accept cryptocurrency for payments on the site (BTC, ETH and EMPR) so it's not possible for us to do automated charges to those wallets without a user initiating the purchase first.

2) We don't sell user data. The accusation you are making is completely nonfactual.

3) empowr is an economy, and as such has a wide variety of ways for users to earn from their activities. Users can earn without spending a penny, or they can pay to have premium benefits that allow them to earn more. This is no different from any other freemium model out there, with the exception that people actually earn on the empowr platform.

You're certainly entitled to your own opinion, but please make sure you understand all of the facts before spreading misinformation.

Your first comment is pure lies. Any user can verify that the services for upgraded accounts are done automatically and at random with use of coins frozen by your site. Each earned amount is locked for 90days from each time an amount is earned, but you take monthly upgrade payments automatically and without notice or authorization by the user at random times and/or multiple times per month.

second comment is pure lies as well, since you confirm this in your terms of use.

This is a ponzi scheme built on taking advantage of social media users.

Investors beware
