Hennessy Mall Review: Stolen identity “click a button” Ponzi

Hennessy Mall fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Hennessy Mall’s website domain (“hennessymall.vip”), was registered with bogus details on July 14th, 2024.

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

Hennessy Mall has already attracted the attention of financial regulators. The Central Bank of Russia issued a Hennessy Mall pyramid fraud warning on July 19th, 2024.

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…]


Hexucation Review: “The future of MLM” pyramid scheme

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

Hexucation’s website domain (“hexucation.com”), was first registered in July 2022. The registration was last updated on July 18th, 2024.

“Clifford Williams” through a UK address is listed as Hexucation’s website domain owner. The provided UK address is a random residential address so the Hexucation’s domain registration details are assumed to be bogus.

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…]


Debon Review: Quantitative Trading “click a button” Ponzi

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

Debon’s website domain (‘debanggroup.com”), was first registered in 2016. The private registration was last updated on June 21st, 2024. This appears to be around the time Debon launched.

Despite only being a month or so old, on its website Debon falsely claims it was “founded in 1996”.

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…]



Cardiff wants to go to Ireland, DOJ alleges witness tampering

On July 22nd Jason Cardiff filed an ex parte motion requesting permission to travel to Ireland.

According to Cardiff, his wife Eunjung recently “suffered a medical issue” in Slovakia.

On July 20, 2024, Mr. Cardiff reported that his wife suffered a medical issue while she was in Slovakia.

Mr. Cardiff reported that Mrs. Cardiff intends to seek additional medical treatment in Ireland, where she resides.

Because of this medical issue, Mr. Cardiff seeks permission to travel to Ireland to assist his wife and care for their 10-year-old child. Mr. Cardiff proposes that he travel to Ireland for ten days.

What Eunjung Cardiff was doing in Slovakia wasn’t disclosed.

On July 23rd, a day later, the DOJ filed its opposition to Cardiff’s motion. [Continue reading…]


Polivera Review: Boris CEO AI trading bot Ponzi

Polivera fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.

Polivera’s website domain (“polivera.ai”), was privately registered on an unknown date.

Polivera is purportedly headed up by CEO “Valeria Carbone”.

Naturally Carbone doesn’t exist outside of Polivera’s marketing material.

In a marketing video uploaded to Polivera’s official YouTube channel on May 11th, Carbone is played by a woman disguised with glasses and a wig.

Although the actor doesn’t have a thick accent, I believe it’s still an eastern European accent (“vebsyte” etc.). This would track with the majority of Boris CEO scams being run by Russians.

As of June 2024, SimilarWeb tracked top sources of traffic to Polivera’s website as the US (24%), Hungary (16%), Malaysia (12%), Taiwan (8%) and Singapore (7%).

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…]

DesertGreener Review: DGRX token NFT Ponzi

DesertGreener operates in the cryptocurrency MLM niche. The company provides a corporate address in Austria on its website.

Heading up DesertGreener we have the “inventor” of the company Carl Albrecht Waldstein.

As far as I can tell, Waldstein doesn’t appear to have an MLM history.

Waldstein abandoned his personal FaceBook profile in 2021. Possibly due to language-barriers, I was unable to find any other information on Waldstein.

DesertGreener operates from two known website domains; “desertgreener.sale” and “desertgreener.io” (redirects to .SALE domain).

Both of DesertGreener’s website domains were registered on January 18th, 2024. The owner of both domains is Klimates AG through an Austrian address.

Read on for a full review of the DesertGreener MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]
