There is no specific information on the WaraNetwork website indicating who owns or runs the business, with the company only providing the following vague marketing spiel:

WARANETWORK.COM is an online advertising platform created and backed by financially diversified and financial services company based in the United Arab Emirate.

A group of social networking entrepreneur experts was hired to establish a successful microenterprises online advertising platform in order to help networkers and low income scale individuals/families, private businesses / enterprises, simple network users and experienced administrators and all those who looking for a stable and steady income business.

The WaraNetwork website domain (“waranetwork.com”) was registered on the 27th of May 2013, however the domain registration is set to private.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

The WaraNetwork Product Line

WaraNetwork has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market membership to the site itself.

Once joined, a WaraNetwork affiliate is then able to purchase “packages” with the expectation that the company will pay them back a daily ROI.

There are five levels of packages, ranging in price from $20 to $1000, with each package being bundled with advertising credits. These advertising credits can be used by affiliates to display advertising on the WaraNetwork website.

The WaraNetwork Compensation Plan

  • Start – $20 + $5 a month

  • Platinum – $200 + $60 a month
  • Premium – $500 + $100 a month
  • Enterprises – $1000 + $200 a month

Joining WaraNetwork

Affiliate membership to WaraNetwork is free, however affiliates must invest in one of the package levels if they wish to earn commissions. This attracts a monthly membership fee of between $5 and $200 a month, depending on which package level is invested in.

Conclusion

With no retail revenue and a daily ROI paid out of newly invested money, WaraNetwork effectively operates as a five level Ponzi scheme.

Affiliates join the company, choose which level they wish to invest in (or multiple levels if they have the funds) and are then paid an annual ROI from newly invested money.

Somewhat amusingly, the owner(s) of WaraNetwork seem to believe that some simple pseudo compliance will negate their running of a Ponzi scheme:

Correct terminology to use to stay compliant:

-Instead of compound / reinvest use the term “repurchase.”

-Instead of “Profits, or “Income,” use the terms “Ads Credit,” or “Gain”

-Regarding Bonuses and referral commissions use the terms “Purchase and Repurchase” of packages.

-You are not a WaraNetwork.com “Member, you are an “Affiliate.”

-Your monthly WaraNetwork.com fee is not a “Membership” fee; it is a “Subscription.”

-Use the term “Package Purchase” and NOT “Investment.”

-Instead of “Percentage Rate,” use the terms Ratio.

Unfortunately for WaraNetwork and its investors, it’s not so much the terminology you use but the actual business model and compensation plan that determines the legitimacy of your business.

With a reliance on continual new investment and said investment money used to pay existing affiliates, at the end of the day it really doesn’t matter what terminology WaraNetwork’s affiliates use.

No new investment money means no commissions will be paid out.
