Back in 2015 a Town Councillor attempted to
push Lyoness onto residents of Hailsham
, a town in East Sussex, England.

Upon other members of Hailsham council learning of the
Lyoness AU investment Ponzi scheme
, the project was
suspended indefinitely
.

Two years later, a Town Councillor in another English town has pulled the same ruse.

Woking is a town in northwest Surrey, England with a population of 62,796.

On the front-page of the March 23rd, 2017 edition of Woking News & Mail, Lyoness was touted as “groundbreaking international loyalty card scheme”.

The proposed scheme would involve shoppers signing up for the Woking Loyalty Card Programme with shops and other businesses in the town center.

The card, run by international company Lyoness Management, is available in Britain, but Woking Borough Council would be the first local authority in the country to team up with Lyoness.

In addition to a government council pushing a Ponzi scheme onto residents, the problem is that whoever introduced Lyoness to Woking Borough Council stands to make a lot of money – another fact not disclosed to residents.

Instead, they get the rosy “shopping card” pitch, which states only that local businesses and Woking Borough Council will receive 0.5% of all transactions made with cards issued by Woking merchants.

Not disclosed to residents is the Lyoness MLM opportunity.

Lyoness affiliates sign up and invest thousands of dollars in “shopping units” (originally called “accounting units”).

They then earn a ROI by convincing other affiliates to invest money in shopping units.

Shopping units can also be created via legitimate shopping, however this process can take years as opposed to direct investment.

The Ponzi element comes into play upon consideration of
new investment being used to pay existing Lyoness affiliate investors
through shopping units.

As per the Woking News & Mail article, a proposed plan to push Lyoness onto residents was made on March 23rd.

There was of course nothing about Lyoness Accounting or Shopping Units in the
March 23rd executive summary
presented to the council.

On April 6th Woking’s Council Executive, who were expected to approve the introduction of Lyoness into Woking on April 6th.

The draft plan involved the scheme being introduced initially to the town center, and then to other parts of the borough, with the hope that surrounding local authorities will see the advantages and join in.

It is believed that some local authorities in London are watching the planned Woking scheme closely.

I bet they are, what with Lyoness being an
internationally recognized Ponzi scheme
.

Thus far I’ve been unable to find any details on who spearheaded the introduction of Lyoness to Woking Council.

This of course are the Lyoness affiliate or group of affiliates who will benefit far beyond the 0.5% paid to Woking merchants and the council.

🤖 Quick Answer

In March 2017, Woking Council promoted Lyoness, described as an international loyalty card programme, through local media. The scheme, operated by Lyoness Management, was presented as a groundbreaking shopping loyalty initiative for Woking town centre. However, critics identified it as a Ponzi scheme, similar to a 2015 attempt in Hailsham that was suspended after council members discovered its fraudulent nature.

How did local authorities respond to previous Lyoness proposals?
When Hailsham Town Council members learned that Lyoness constituted an investment Ponzi scheme in 2015, they suspended the proposed project indefinitely, preventing residents from participating in the fraudulent arrangement and protecting the community from financial harm.
