Union Green power, or UGP, fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.

The only executive listed on UGP’s website is COO “Michael Warner”.

Outside of Union Green Power’s website and a FaceBook profile created in August 2025, Warner doesn’t exist. This makes him a prime Boris CEO candidate.

It should be noted that the Warner FaceBook profile creation coincides with Union Green Power’s website domain, “uniongreenpower.com”, being privately registered on July 31st, 2025.

According to its official Telegram channel, Union Green Power launched on November 1st, 2025.

While not always, Boris CEO MLM schemes are typically run by Russian scammers.

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…]

BehindMLM first reviewed Novae back in 2016. The company we reviewed no longer exists, with Novae rebranding as “Novae: The Credit and Money Company” early last year.

Novae’s name-change coincided with the company joining the DSA. To keep things simple we’ll continue to refer to the company as Novae Money.

At the request of a reader back in October, today we’re revisiting Novae for an updated review. [Continue reading…]

Exfusion operates from a subdomain “exfusion.ibportal.io”. The root domain, “ibportal.io”, was privately registered on October 19th, 2025.

The “ibportal.io” root domain is disabled. A search for the domain reveals multiple Tag Markets associated schemes operating from it.

Beyond its “ibportal.io” subdomain, Exfusion is run through a shady Telegram group named @exfusioninternationalofficial.

Names we can attach through Exfusion marketing material are serial fraudsters.

First we have Asker Sakinmaz:

Sakinmaz, from Turkey, first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as CEO of the FlexKom pyramid scheme in 2013.

FlexKom was rebooted as Weeconomy in 2019. Weeconomy marked a transition to MLM related crypto fraud.

In his capacity as a FlexKom executive, Sakinmaz was convicted on fraud charges in Belgium in 2020. Sakinmaz, convicted in absentia,  was sentenced to forty months in prison and an €18,000 EUR fine.

After Weeconomy collapsed, in 2021 Sakinmaz resurfaced as part of Safir International’s “circle of trust”.

Safir International was an MLM crypto Ponzi built around Zeniq Coin. The scam collapsed in 2023.

After Safir International Sakinmaz resurfaced as Director of Sales for the AiConnects MLM crypto Ponzi.

AiConnects’ website is still up but its social media was abandoned in October 2025.

Another name we can attach to Exfusion is Michael Baur:

As above, Baur is running official Exfusion and NeoFX marketing webinars.

In 2019 a BehindMLM reader tied Baur to the CMMT Revolution Ponzi scheme. In August 2022, another BehindMLM reader tied Baur to the collapsed PLC Ultima series of Ponzi schemes.

Baur resurfaced in 2024 to front the Skainet Systems Ponzi scheme.

Skainet Systems collapsed in June 2025. A short-lived Cermak reboot collapsed in July 2025.

Baur resurfaced in September 2025 as CMO of the Nexxano pyramid scheme. Nexxano’s website is still up but Baur is assumed to have ditched the scam and moved on with Exfusion.

On a December 9th Exfusion marketing presentation, Baur confirmed he resides in Dubai.

Exfusion marketing material cites partnership with Tag Markets:

This is because Exfusion is run on Tag Markets, an MLM investment fraud factory owned by Jared Esguerra:

On social media, Esguerra represents he works in “financial services” and is based out of Dubai;

In addition to Esguerra Tag Markets was co-founded by CEO Kevin Marin Valez, a “digital creator” and “business administrator” based out of Colombia.

As per the “Kevin Marin” marketing slide above, Tag Markets is represented to be operating from Columbia [sic] and Dubai.

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 Exfusion, read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]

From Maxizone Touch’s official Instagram profile; [Continue reading…]
