Alliance in Motion has been ordered to cease business operations by the Vanuatu Financial Intelligence Unit (VFIU).

VFIU commenced an investigation into Alliance in Motion (aka AIM Global), following a marketing event held at the Ramada Resort on August 5th.

As reported by the Daily Post earlier today;

The VFIU made this clear yesterday as it raises awareness and cautions against against ‘get-rich-quick’ schemes currently operating in Vanuatu, just five days after Team Global Influencer (GI-Global), which operates under AIM Global, held a two-day business awareness programme.

According to section 2(r)(iv) of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 13 of 2014 (AML & CTF Act), these services are defined as issuing financial guarantees and commitments, classifying such providers as ‘Reporting Entities’.

As such, these service providers are required to register with the VFIU because they offer commitments to pay a return to members at a future date.

The VFIU confirmed awareness of AIM Global’s subsidiary, GI-Global, which has been offering financial commitments to members in Vanuatu while operating or being managed from abroad.

The unit is currently engaging with the business to better understand its activities and assess any money laundering or terrorist financing risks that AIM Global and its customers may face.

In addition to AIM Global, Alliance in Motion is promoted in Vanuatu as “GI Community” and “EOS Platform”.

AIM Global’s August 5th marketing event was pitched as a “Big Business Presentation”. Alliance in Motion branding did not appear on event promotional material:

The only indication the event had anything to do with AIM Global was the “AGG” logo top right.

“AGG” stands for AIM Global Group of Companies. Consumers are unlikely to recognize it as having anything to do with AIM Global, preventing them from due-diligence prior to the event.

As per the above example, AIM Global’s August 5th Vanuatu event was run by ringleaders Wilfred Koran, Bremie Vuti, Kee Revilla (aka CK Revilla), Mhean Revilla and Lynette Bongin.

Other names Alliance in Motion goes by include Empowered Consumerism and OrbiXVictus.

If you’re wondering why there are so many Alliance in Motion alternative company names, it’s because Alliance in Motion is an MLM pyramid scheme.

Alliance in Motion promoters are recruited on the premise of buying the company’s dubious products.

Product purchases by recruited promoters drive commissions for those who recruited them and “top leader” uplines.

Once roped in, the only way to recoup losses is to recruit new AIM Global victims who also purchase AIM Global products.

This particular type of fraudulent business model is known as a “product-based pyramid scheme”.

Vanuatu only has a population of around 327,000. An offshore run MLM pyramid scheme gaining traction locally would devastate the domestic economy. Not to mention the human cost as pacific nations are traditionally made up of tightknit communities.

Unfortunately it is these same communities and the level of inherent trust within, that allow scams like AIM Global to spread like wildfire.

Under various company names, Alliance in Motion is run out of the Philippines by founder Eduardo Cabantog (right).

AIM Global is still active locally but unfortunately Philippine authorities have shown little interest in shutting the scam down.

In 2022 AIM Global promoters were arrested in Uganda after kidnapping hostages and forcing them to recruit new victims. In 2023 authorities in Pakistan issued an AIM Global fraud alert.
