MMM Global @ BehindMLM

With more and more MMM Nigeria affiliates realizing they’re not going to get paid each day, emotions are running high. Now one particular investor has dropped an ultimatum: “Give me back my money within two weeks or else”.

When it relaunched a day early a week ago, the narrative pushed was that things would go back to the way they were before the December collapse. Those hopes were dashed soon after, following an announcement that affiliates with large sums invested would be denied withdrawals. The situation has continued to deteriorate throughout the week, with [Continue reading…]

Following its collapse last month, MMM Nigeria suspended affiliate withdrawals and announced they’d reopen on January 14th. On January 13th MMM Nigeria did in fact reopen. Sergei Mavrodi purportedly boasted they’d done so because of the ‘hysteria raised by the authorities and the mass media around MMM‘. Funny how according to MMM Nigeria authorities and media [Continue reading…]

The MLM underbelly in Nigeria is set to get even more bizarre, with local scammers lobbying the government to legalize Ponzi schemes. Investors who lost money after MMM Nigeria collapsed last month seem to be under the impression that, if legalized, Ponzi schemes won’t collapse.

There is no information on the MMM BTC website indicating who owns or runs the business. The MMM BTC website domain (“mmmbtc.online”) was privately registered on November 27th, 2016.

The disaster that is the Nigerian MLM underbelly scene continues, with news today MMM Nigeria has suspended withdrawals. Yes, you’re reading that right. The same week Sergey Mavrodi purportedly goaded the Nigerian government about an MMM Nigeria collapse, it appears MMM Nigeria has… well, collapsed.

MLM in Nigeria is a bit of a mess at the moment. The MLM underbelly has completely taken over and scamming is rampant. On any given day of late BehindMLM’s filters are nuking spammy comments pushing the latest scam sweeping Nigeria. Sure enough the next day though there’s a new set of budding Nigerian marketers [Continue reading…]

One by one MMM Global’s local chapters in Africa have collapsed. At the time of publication Nigeria the last major African nation MMM Global maintains a foothold in. Rather than let the scheme collapse and investors lose all their money, as happened in Zimbabwe and South Africa, the Nigerian government has called for the arrest [Continue reading…]

One by one would-be scammers in African countries are learning they can’t beat basic mathematics. MMM Zimbabwe initially collapsed back in early August. Affiliate withdrawals were suspended and the company strung people along by promising to come up with a solution. The eventual solution proved to be shortsighted, with withdrawals were set to resume on [Continue reading…]

In an effort to stave off an inevitable collapse, MMM Global’s Zimbabwe chapter froze investor withdrawals a few weeks ago. Deposits were still permitted, with the intention being to collect money without withdrawals draining the system and unfreeze existing accounts on September 15th. That plan has now been cancelled, with MMM Global Zimbabwe prematurely unfreezing investor [Continue reading…]
