U.Center fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

U.Center’s website domain (“u.center”), was privately registered on March 12th, 2026.

In the footer of it’s website, U.Center refers to itself as “the Learning Home of the U-TOPIA Ecosystem”.

U-topia operates from the domain “u-topia.com”, first registered in 1999. The private registration was last updated on April 28th, 2026.

U-topia is headed up by co-founders Emmanuel Quezada (CEO) and Owen Man Cheong Ma (CRO).

Per their social media profiles, Quezada and Ma are based out of Dubai and Singapore respectively.

A business profile on Tracxn additionally cites Jeremy Mahieu and Nicolas Prevost as U-topia founders.

Mahieu is also based in Dubai and still cites himself as a U-topia “partner” on social media. Nicolas Prevost is based out of France and appears to have moved on around February 2025.

Originally from Mexico, prior to U-topia Emmanuel Quezada was working as a model in Australia.

In late 2021, Quezada launched U-topia as a metaverse grift:

Somewhere along the way U-topia launched a “pay to play” crypto game NFT grift…

…which was attached to u-coin.

By early 2025 Quezada had transitioned from “we’re going to the moon” to an AI children’s education grift:

The whole scheme seems to have imploded later in 2025. The current U.Center reboot was launched in or around March 2026.

This ties into the March 12th registration of U.Center’s domain.

Owen Man Cheong Ma is a bit of a shadowy figure. As U.topia’s Chief Revenue Officer, it’s assumed Ma handles the money side of the business.

Due to the proliferation of scams and failure to enforce securities fraud regulation, BehindMLM ranks Dubai as the MLM crime capital of the world.

BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:

1. If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
2. If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.

If you want to know specifically how this applies to U.Center and by extension U-topia, read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]

BMore fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

BMore’s website terms and conditions state it’s a “B-Epic Worldwide website”.

B-Epic is an MLM company owned by Dan Putnam. Strangely, there’s no mention of BMore on B-Epic’s website. Nor is BMore hosted on B-Epic’s website domain.

Instead, BMore has been set up as a directory on the domain “epiciq.com” (“epiciq.com/mfrie”).

The root “epiciq.com” domain was registered in April 2018. The private registration was last updated on April 22nd, 2026.

The EpicIQ root domain website markets a $15 “success blueprint launched, which appears to have launched  in 2024. Whatever it was, B-Epic the root domain website appears to have been abandoned.

If I had to guess the otherwise dormant domain was repurposed for BMore, which feels a bit cheap.

In addition to owning B-Epic, Putnam (right) is best known in the MLM industry for launching multiple MLM crypto Ponzi schemes.

In December 2022 Putnam settled a $12 million securities fraud lawsuit filed by the SEC. The SEC’s filed 2020 lawsuit accused Putnam and two accomplices of defrauded consumers through three MLM crypto Ponzis.

Since that settlement Putnam’s securities fraud has continued through Aiscend and Avasar – both of which have since collapsed.

BehindMLM last came across Putnam in early 2025 through Epic Slim, a B-Epic weight loss coffee and collagen supplement spinoff.

While it did eventually load in a broken state, Epic Slim’s website is for the most part non-functional.

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…]

DeNet fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

A September 2021 press-release identifies Russian nationals Rafik Singatullin (CEO) and Denis Shelestov (CTO) as DeNet executives.

A Bitcoin WIKI entry cites Singatullin and Shelestov as two of four DeNet co-founders; the other two being Olga Belonozhko and Pavel Litviakov (aka Paul Litviakov).

As per respective social media profiles, DeNet’s co-founders are based in Dubai, Russia, Singapore and Switzerland:

Note that while he co-founded DeNet, Pavel Litviakov seems to have moved on.

DeNet operates from two known website domains:

1. denet.pro – registered in July 2017, private registration last updated May 31st, 2024
2. denet.app – registered April 29th, 2024, private registration last updated October 10th, 2025

DeNet doesn’t provide a corporate address on its websites. In an official “media kit” available on DeNet’s website, it claims to be a “Hong Kong-based Company with a development back-office in Kazan (Russia)”.

Search results suggest DeNet is based out of Dubai:

This ties into CEO Rafik Singatullin also being based out of Dubai, a due-diligence red flag in and of itself.

Due to the proliferation of scams and failure to enforce securities fraud regulation, BehindMLM ranks Dubai as the MLM crime capital of the world.

BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:

1. If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
2. If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.

Hyperbolic Global fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

A list of non-executive employees is provided, however these appear to fictional identities paired with stolen/AI-generated profile photos.

Offsite Hyperbolic Global marketing cites “Jasper Zhang” and “Yuchen Jin” as co-founders:

These also appear to be fictional identities paired with stolen/AI-generated profile photos.

Hyperbolic Global’s website domain (“hyperbolicglobal.com”), was privately registered on November 21st, 2025.

As of April 2026, SimilarWeb was tracking ~418,000 monthly Hyperbolic Global website visits.

Over the same period SimilarWeb attributed 100% of Hyperbolic Global’s website traffic to India.

This is a strong indication that whoever is running Hyperbolic Global has ties to India.

Quantarbi fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Quantarbi’s website domain (“quantarbi.com”), was privately registered on December 9th, 2025.

Quantarbi provides a corporate address in Romania on its website. The address corresponds with office space in Cluj, Napoca.

There is no indication the address has anything to do with Quantarbi.

As of April 2026, SimilarWeb was tracking ~7100 monthly visits to Quantarbi’s website.

100% of Quantarbi’s website traffic over the same period was attributed to South Africa.

While not definitive, this is a pretty strong indication that Quantarbi is being run from South Africa. At the very least, marketing confirms Quantarbi is targeting South Africans:

Plexico fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Plexico’s website domain (“plexico.io”), was registered on February 19th, 2024. The private registration was last updated on March 1st, 2025.

After its domain was registered, nothing much seems to have happened till Plexico began to market itself around February 2026.

I’m not sure if this is because the opportunity was dead or whether they decided to soft reboot having found an actor to play founder and CEO “Vladimir Podpletny”.

“Vladimir Podpletny” appears in a marketing video embedded on Plexico’s website and in offsite marketing.

Up until very recently Plexico had created an Instagram page for Podpletny, however that’s either since been disabled or deleted.

The actor playing Podpletny has an eastern European accent. This is typical of Boris CEO scams being run by eastern European scammers (Russia, Ukraine and Belarus).

I don’t have a name but in 2016, the actor playing Podpletny attended a DJ KhariSon set at RedCups Lounge in Mariupol, Ukraine:

Ten years have passed but the actor has a very distinctive ear shape.

While it’s possible the Plodpletny actor has teamed up with Russians, it’s likely Plexico is being run by Ukrainian scammers.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, Plexico provides registration details for an unnamed Florida company.

Due to the ease with which scammers are able to incorporate shell companies with bogus details, whatever the name of Plexico’s purported Florida shell company doesn’t matter.

For the purpose of MLM due-diligence shell companies registered in any country are meaningless. Notwithstanding Plexico has no verifiable ties to Florida.

It should be noted that despite only existing from February 2025 at the earliest, in its marketing materials Plexico falsely represents its fictional founder started the company in 2022.

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…]
