ummm this is a loyalty card with NFC (near field communication) so you just tap the card on the point of sale register and it processes it. But what does that have to do with mobile commerce or mobile phones?

what we should be looking at is Apple Passbook or Google Wallet where instead of a card you use your mobile phone to pay - no more linx, credit card or cash and it is very secure. Just tap your smartphone to the register and pay. Plus as you walk into a store you get a popup on your phone with available specials, coupons, discounts etc.

that is true m-commerce

steups

initially "m-Commerce" to me seems like a variation of "e-Commerce" where buying and selling is done online so it would follow that m-Commerce is buying and selling using your mobile phone and as a payment method.

it seems that the primary part of flexkom is that of a coupon / rewards system like Magna or Groupon.

I believe the only involvement with a mobile phone here is that the redemption method is to display a QR code on your phone's screen via the Flexcom app and the cashier will scan it with the Flexcom point-of-sale machine so you can redeem your coupon / discount.

it seems deceptive to call this m-commerce

Hi all, This threat is about the latest Flexkom Scam. More info can be found here http://flexkomscam.blogspot.nl/ This is a MLM Multi Level Marketing Scheme also known as Pyramid scheme. Many new Facebook groups are online that promote anything Flexkom does. The truth is that the founders behind this were involved in many other Ponzi schemes Globally. more info here http://flexkomscam.blogspot.nl/ please contribute with more details! This is now Hot only in Netherland and Germany. People behind Flexkom are its country managers.

Flexkom is promoting an alternative payment system sold by resellers. You pay to become a reseller. Flexkom promises new cars to people that perform. 16.000 people were scammed in Turkey already. There are facebook groups / accounts with Flexkom. When quastions are asked you never get a solid answer, people do not know what they are selling. This M Commerce System does not exist, there are no hotels and retail shops that use the system.

you must rather give me the money if you don't have better use for it...

It's interesting how rapidly the loyalty card business is evolving. Flexkom was recently introduced to Trinidad and Tobago and the signed up a number of "Franchise Holders" to the tune of about $2000 USD. The promise in return expensive gifts like gold bars and a top of the line Mercedes Benz.

In one year another company has emerged offering basically the same thing that FlexKom is offering but FREE. Yep, the BeepXtra Loyalty card is absolutely free and anyone can become a franchise owner for zilch.

Just like Flexkom, the card is global and mobile. The business model is simple, it requires work but because it's free it's viral, it's really hard to beat free. Once a market is opened and developed it can be very lucrative for the entrepreneurs who did the work. The Beep Xtra is certainly not a get rich quick scheme with big perks but it does make you wonder what will happen to all the Flexkom franchise holders in Trinidad. The new card can only be accessed by invitation, here is a youtube video that explains it.

Like most pyramid schemes as listed above . Those who get in early get the loot . Others who they claim to be taking on the road to that goal are passengers paying for a ride, with no real destination. The pyramid schemes are getting better with more hype .

Bottom line work hard and invest your money in real goods and services not these schemes . If you want to earn that foreign income invest there or sell to customers there.
