- panda_2134 4y agoThat's exactly the same model of attracting new users when compared to PDD in China. PDD fraudulently promises to provide users with coupons in return if one tries to attract more users. The required invitation count starts at 5 for example, but as the user invites more victims, the required number of invitees grows indefinitely.
