Pros
The work dynamic with colleagues was fantastic. But this shouldn't overshadow the cons.
Cons
As a former employee of WPRO, a sister company of Lanistar, I feel compelled to share my experience with everyone to expose the insidious practices and unethical behaviour that permeate these companies. Lanistar, a card payment provider, ventured into the cryptocurrency space under the guidance of its creator, Gurhan Kiziloz, and launched WPRO, a public relations company responsible for promoting scam cryptocurrencies that prey on innocent investors worldwide. The core of Lanistar and WPRO's operation revolves around duping people into investing in presale cryptocurrencies that are nothing but elaborate scams. The mastermind behind these deceitful projects, Gurhan Kiziloz, leads a team of employees who are coerced into writing daily articles promoting these fraudulent coins. These articles, written with the help of ChatGPT, serve as deceptive marketing tools to create a false sense of legitimacy around these scam coins. The list of scam cryptocurrencies includes Big Eyes Coin, Dogetti, OnWin, Beastereum, DogeMiyagi, and Poor Coin. These coins are designed to attract unsuspecting investors with promises of quick and substantial returns, but in reality, they are nothing more than worthless tokens, leaving people with devastating financial losses. Employees would write five articles per day, each ranging from 500 to 700 words, where three cryptocurrencies are mentioned. Two of these coins are established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin, meant to lend credibility to the articles, while the third is always one of the scam coins mentioned above. The fact that Gurhan Kiziloz actively orchestrates these schemes is deeply concerning and reflects a complete lack of ethical integrity. Moreover, the office environment at Lanistar is dreadful. Due to money problems, most of the workforce, including myself, has been laid off. The oppressive ambience noise, blaring loudly throughout the office, adds to the already stressful atmosphere, making it almost unbearable to work in such conditions. Even more distressing is the presence of a parrot in the workplace that seems to be suffering immensely. The parrot's incessant screaming indicates its distress, likely due to the poor living conditions it endures in the office. The fact that management allows such animal cruelty to persist is alarming and indicative of the company's lack of empathy and disregard for living beings. In a desperate attempt to conceal the truth about their exploitative practices and shady dealings, Lanistar has stooped to new lows by resorting to a manipulative scheme to manipulate its online reputation. As a former employee, I can confirm that Lanistar has resorted to paying its staff to post falsely positive reviews on Glassdoor, with the intention of overshadowing any genuine negative reviews, including my own, that might expose their nefarious activities. The company orchestrated a competition among its employees, encouraging them to fabricate glowing, five-star reviews on the Glassdoor platform. The incentive for participating in this deceptive act was an enticing prize of £2,500 for the winner, who could craft the most convincing and deceitful review extolling the virtues of Lanistar. Even if you didn't win the prize, you'd be paid £100 for writing a falsely positive review. In conclusion, Lanistar and WPRO are not just unscrupulous companies exploiting vulnerable individuals but are also actively perpetuating scams that have far-reaching consequences for investors worldwide. It is crucial for people to stay vigilant in the face of such deception, as scams like these continue to plague the cryptocurrency industry. Please be aware and protect yourselves from falling prey to the malicious crypto schemes propagated by Lanistar, WPRO, and their mastermind, Gurhan Kiziloz.
