As such, the Securities Regulation Code (SRC) requires that said offer and sale of securities must be duly registered with the Commission and that the concerned entity and/or its agents should have the appropriate registration and/or license to sell such securities to the public. Based on the Commission's database, WONKACASH or WONKA CASH APP FINANCIAL CONSULTANCY SERVICES is NOT REGISTERED as a corporation or partnership and OPERATES WITHOUT THE NECESSARY LICENSE AND/OR AUTHORITY to solicit, accept or take investments/placements from the public nor to issue investment contracts and other forms of securities defined under Section 3 of the Securities Regulation Code (SRC) . Further, the scheme employed by WONKACASH shows indication of a possible "Ponzi Scheme" where monies from new investors are used in paying "fake profits" to prior investors and is designed mainly to favor its top recruiters and prior risk takers and is detrimental to subsequent members in case of scarcity of new investors. The offering and selling of securities in the form of investment contracts using the "Ponzi Scheme" which is fraudulent and unsustainable, is NOT a registrable security. The Commission will not issue a License to Sell Securities to the Public to persons or entities that are engaged in this business or scheme. In view thereof, the public is hereby advised to STOP INVESTING in the investment scheme being offered by WONKACASH/WONKA CASH APP FINANCIAL CONSULTANCY SERVICES and its representatives .
