Qatar VIP fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Qatar VIP’s website domain (“qlmavip.top”), was privately registered on January 11th, 2025.

Of note is Qatar VIP’s website domain being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).

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. [Continue reading…]

Windly Energy fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Windly Energy’s website domain (“windly.energy”), was privately registered on April 3rd, 2023.

Over on Windly Energy’s official YouTube channel we find an actor with an African (Caribbean?) accent playing CEO “Jason Marmon”.

Marmon doesn’t exist outside of Windly Energy’s own marketing, making him a prime Boris CEO candidate. This is further supported by the actor referring to Windly Energy as “whine-dly” in its marketing videos.

It should be noted that while Windly Energy marketing began in October 2023, the Jason Marmon actor didn’t surface till November 2024.

On its website Windly Energy represents it is based out of California in the US. This is based on registration of the shell company Windly Energy LTD.

Windly Energy LTD was registered in California in April 2023 and lists Jason Marmon, through a Regus virtual office address, as its sole registered Agent.

Due to the ease with which scammers are able to incorporate shell companies with bogus details, for the purpose of MLM due-diligence shell company registration in any jurisdiction is meaningless.

Despite only existing since 2023 at the earliest, in its obligatory rented office marketing video Windly Energy falsely claims it was founded in 2015.

While not always, Boris CEO schemes are typically the work of eastern European scammers (Russia and/or Ukraine).

AI Cambridge fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

AI Cambridge’s website domain (“cambridgeai.xyz”), was privately registered on December 16th, 2024.

AI Cambridge’s official marketing features Chinese:

This suggests whoever is running AI Cambridge has ties to China.

Avlitex operates in the cryptocurrency MLM niche. On its website, Avlitex represents it is based out of Canada.

The provided corporate address however belongs to Regus, a virtual office retailer. This means it is unlikely Avlitex has any actual ties to Canada.

Supporting this is Avlitex providing a registration certificate for Avlitex Limited, a shell company purportedly registered in Ontario.

Due to the ease with which scammers are able to incorporate shell companies with bogus details, for the purpose of MLM due-diligence these certificates are meaningless.

Avlitex is supposedly headed up by CEO Raymond Norbury:

Norbury doesn’t exist outside of Avlitex’s website, making him a prime Boris CEO candidate.

Further confirming this is the actor playing Norbury appearing in a marketing video on Avlitex’s official YouTube channel.

In the video, shot at a rented office, the actor playing Norbury features an eastern European accent.

This tracks with the majority of Boris CEO schemes being run by eastern European scammers (Russians and Ukrainians).

Other executives are listed on Avlitex’s website. These executives appear to be represented by AI-generated photos. Notably, none of them appear in Avlitex’s marketing videos.

Avlitex’s website domain (“avlitex.com”), was first registered in 2011. The private registration was last updated on September 21st, 2024.

Although it has only existed for a few months, on its website Avlitex falsely claims its “story began in 2020”.

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. [Continue reading…]
