Safir pyramid scheme fraud warning from Russia
Safir has received a pyramid fraud warning from Russia.
As per the Central Bank of Russia’s October 18th warning, Safir exhibits “signs of a financial pyramid” scheme.
BehindMLM came across Safir as Safir International back in 2021. Safir International is part of the Zeniq Coin Ponzi scheme.
At the time the scam was headed up Erwin Dokter, who was CEO of both companies.
Although there’s no mention of Dokter on Safir’s website today, Zeniq marketing videos still feature him:
Today Safir’s website cites Henk Diepbrink as Managing Director of the company.
Diepbrink, a Dutch national, is a former ACN promoter. His corporate bio claims he’s been active in MLM since 1992.
Of additional note Asker Sakinmaz’s involvement in Safir.
Sakinmaz is a co-founder of the collapsed Flexkom pyramid scheme.
Following criminal charges filed against him in Belgium, Sakinmaz was convicted and sentenced to forty months in prison in 2020.
Other members of Safir’s “Elite Circle of Trust” are also promoters of scams:
- Toanui Llaona is a former promoter of the Vortex Profits Ponzi scheme
- Werner Kaiser is a former promoter of the Lyoness Ponzi scheme
- Thomas Englert is a former promoter of the PlatinCoin Ponzi scheme
At the time of his sentencing Asker Sakinmaz was residing in Turkey. The scammers behind Safir and Zeniq Coin appear to have since fled to 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:
- If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
- If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.
Following Dubai’s authorities issuing a rare Zeniq Coin securities fraud warning in 2021, Safir now represents it is run through a shell company in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.
At the time of Russia’s fraud warning, SimilarWeb tracks top sources of traffic to Safir’s website as Germany (21%), Norway (18%), Austria (14%), the Dominican Republic (9%) and the UK (5%).
Safir’s website traffic was down as much as 73% across these countries month on month.
Update 5th December 2023 – On December 2nd Zeniq announced it had been acquired my My Neo Group.
Zeniq now operates under the name Neo Zentech.
Warnings? Big deal, these Management guys have been Profesional scammers all their lives, nothing and will happen, they all live in Dubai Monaco Turkey and other countries
with no extradition.
If the shit hits the fan they go after the Top Leaders living in Germany Norway Austria, like OneCoin Frank Ricketts burned himself in Germany.
Take your popcorn and see this scam crumble in slow motion!
Hello,
I would like to inform you as a member, and independent promotor over two years, that recent claims circulating about our company are based on partial information and distorted facts. (Ozedit: snip, see below)
The fact of the matter is Russia has issued a Safir pyramid scheme warning, which you did not address in your comment. Nor did you address Safir’s ongoing securities fraud.
Marketing spam goes in the spambin.
Are they sold Zeniq to My Neo Group?

New name is Neo/Zentech. Looks really weird. Banking without own banking licence etc.
NEO, SAFIR, Success Factory, and the Block chain Era have all merged into a mega-scam company called XERA based in Dubai:

this is a legit company, with legit products , not a financial company like other scam!
you will never understand this business because you dont understand real mlm business! xera to the top!
Ponzi schemes by definition aren’t legitimate.
Gotta love Ponzi shills running around pretending nobody understands basic financial fraud.
As for going “to the top”, Xera is literally made up of victims of collapsed Ponzi schemes. Sorry for your loss.
