Scammers ressurect Traffic Monsoon Ponzi, again
Scammers have resurrected the collapsed Traffic Monsoon Ponzi scheme for a second time.
The original Traffic Monsoon Ponzi operated from the domain “trafficmonsoon.com”, which as of today remains disabled.
In 2022 BehindMLM documented an attempt by scammers to resurrect the Ponzi scheme, this time operating from “trafficmonsoon.org” (warning: the Traffic Monsoon .ORG domain now hosts auto-download malware).
On September 5th, 2025, scammers registered the domain “trafficmonsoon.org”. A second Traffic Monsoon reboot has been set up on the domain.
The pitch is similar to the original Traffic Monsoon Ponzi, $1 adpack investments paying out up to $50 per investment.
A single-level 25% referral commission is paid on investments by personally recruited promoters.
The scammers have even created a new fictional Traffic Monsoon CEO, “Adrian Gale Mercer”:
Mercer is represented by an AI-generated image based on the likeness of original Traffic Monsoon owner Charles Scoville.
Scoville (right) was incarcerated in 2018 on charges relating to child abuse. Scoville pled guilty to attempted child sexual abuse in November 2018.
I believe Scoville was sentenced in early 2019. Details of his plea agreement and sentencing however have never been made public.
Scoville had a very public mental breakdown leading up to his incarceration. Scoville’s current status is unknown but I’m confident he has nothing to do with the first or second reboots.
Last month Australian authorities issued a fraud warning against an attempted Vortic United Ponzi reboot. It’s possible the same scammers are behind this Traffic Monsoon reboot.
$68k paid out in less than 1 month. Anyone believing that?
As we know the old system worked by paying old with new and when new stopped coming old lost money and it cascaded until it reached the top of the pyramid and nobody was getting paid then the owners make the gestures of “somebody else’s fault” and start blaming processors for the fact they just don’t have the money to pay out anymore.
In Monsoons case it got as ridiculous as planning to open a Bank in Dubai.

In Just Been Paids case the way to perpetuate was to give the option to “recycle” and also give the packs a minimum “maturity” time so people would not be paid as quickly as they were but it was just delaying the inevitable.

The first Traffic Monsoon reboot didn’t go anywhere. Not expecting the second to either.
