Triple Match Review: Global One launch new opp?
There is no information on the Triple Match website indicating who owns or runs the business.
The Triple Match website domain (“triplematch.me”) was registered on February 11th 2013, however the domain registration is set to private.
Triple Match’s “Privacy Policy” mentions several other domains,
Welcome to the TripleMatch.me, TripleMatch.com, www.TripleMatch.me, www.TripleMatch.com, or BitIncome.me, BitIncome.com, www.BitIncome.me, www.BitIncome.com (the “Site”), a Site provided by TripleMatch, Inc. and/or BitIncome, Inc. (“we”, “us” or “our”).
but all of them are privately registered and apart from “triplematch.me”, were non-operational at the time of publication.
Interestingly enough, all four Triple Match and BitIncome domains are hosted on the same private server as Global One’s “iGoBidWin” and “iPayFire” websites (image right).
After noting possible involvement and ownership of Triple Match by Global One I was contacted by a James Hill, who clarified his ownership of Triple Match and why the company shares the same hosting server as Global One’s various susidiary companies:
Oz,
I am the sole owner. I have been very open about that on my calls with leaders. However, I do like my privacy and many in this industry do not respect that concept. This is why I do not have my private information attached to the URLs.
The GlobalOne owner, staff, etc. are unaware of TripleMatch and BitIncome. They have nothing to do with our program. Absolutely nothing! There is NO connection, what so ever.
The server they are using is NOT private. It is simply a shared server. My developer will attest to this fact.
I asked my developer why we are on the same server as GlobalOne and he said that they had downgraded their servers and our program is certainly not ready for a dedicated server.
My attorney would (also) verify that there is no association with TripleMatch/BitIncome and GlobalOne, its owner, nor any of its company staff.
Read on for a full review of the Triple Match MLM business opportunity.
The Triple Match Product Line
Triple Match don’t have any specific information on their product line, and only offer up the following vague marketing copy:
Our Products
You are going to love our products and by sharing them with others you can earn a very good income.
For example, an amazing Internet eWallet, which you will learn all about when you register. There is a mere $1 Transfer Fee when you are transferring funds to others.
Then, there is this great bidding program that is different than anything you have ever seen.
We know you want more information about the products and we want to show you. We also know, if we showed you the product websites now, you would get so excited, you would join them on the spot.
This would bypass us and our opportunity. That would be a BIG mistake.
What the products are is unclear but it certainly sounds as if Triple Match themselves don’t have any tangible products (as a stand-alone opportunity).
No further information about the “bidding program” is provided.
The company’s compensation plan makes repeated mention of affiliate “subscriptions”, indicating that Triple Match considers affiliate memberships as products.
This is further evidenced by the fact that visitors to the Triple Match website face an access brick wall unless they use an affiliate referral link:
The e-wallet mentioned is most likely the “BitIncome” website mentioned in Triple Match’s Privacy Policy.
At the time of publication the BitIncome website is non-functional with a broken timer:
The Triple Match Compensation Plan
The Triple Match compensation plan uses a unilevel compensation structure and pays commissions on the payment of affiliate fees by recruited Triple Match affiliates.
Recruitment Commissions
When a Triple Match affiliate recruits a new paid affiliate, they are paid a recruitment commission as follows:
- “Preferred Customer” affiliate ($4.95 a month) – $4
- Silver affiliate ($29.95 a month) – $21
- Gold affiliate ($49.95 a month) – $35
No commissions are paid on the recruitment of free affiliates, however free affiliates can earn the above commissions if they recruit paid affiliates.
Residual Commissions (dynamic downlines)
Residual monthly commissions are paid out on the affiliate fees charged to all paid affiliates:
- “Preferred Customer” affiliates – $2
- Silver affiliates – $3
- Gold affiliates – $5
Whereas it’s typical for fee-based residual commissions to be paid to the affiliate who recruited the affiliate paying the fees, in Triple Match downlines can be dynamic in nature.
At the start of every month one of two things can happen to an affiliate’s residual affiliate fee commissions:
- If an affiliate has recruited only one or two new affiliates, they are paid residual commissions on both affiliate’s fees or
- If an affiliate has recruited three or more affiliates, the two affiliates who have generated the highest residual commissions the past month are passed up to the affiliates upline
In the second scenario, the affiliate retains residual commissions earnt by the remainder of their recruited affiliates.
The above explanation provides the specifics of how Triple Match’s dynamic downlines work, but to simplify things:
If you have recruited three or more affiliates, you pass up the residual commissions your top two recruited affiliates earn to your upline.
Matching Bonuses
Matching Bonuses in Triple Match are paid using a unilevel compensation structure.
A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of the structure, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1).
If any of these personally recruited affiliates recruit new affiliates of their own, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliates structure. If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical unlimited number of levels.
Using the above structure a matching bonus is paid to a recruited affiliate’s upline as follows:
- All “Preferred Customer” affiliates and Silver and Gold affiliates who haven’t recruited any affiliates – $1 on “Preferred Customer” affiliates, $1.50 on recruited Silver affiliates and $2.50 on recruited Gold affiliates
- Silver and Gold affiliates who have recruited one new Silver or Gold affiliate – $1 on “Preferred Customer” affiliates, $3 on recruited Silver affiliates and $5 on recruited Gold affiliates
- Silver and Gold affiliates who have recruited two new Silver or Gold affiliates – $1 on “Preferred Customer” affiliates, $5 on recruited Silver affiliates and $10 on recruited Gold affiliates
- Silver and Gold affiliates who have recruited three new Silver or Gold affiliates – $1 on “Preferred Customer” affiliates, $9 on recruited Silver affiliates and $15 on recruited Gold affiliates
Joining Triple Match
Affiliate membership to Triple Match is available in four options:
- Free affiliate membership – No cost but unable to earn matching bonuses
- “Preferred Customer” affiliate – $4.95 a month
- Silver affiliate – $29.95 a month
- Gold affiliate – $49.95 a month
Conclusion
It might seem odd for Triple Match to gloss over their product line on their website but upon analysing the company’s compensation plan, it becomes clear why they do so.
Any products bundled with affiliate membership are irrelevant to the commissions structure, which is simply tied into the sale of Triple Match affiliate memberships.
As such what you wind up with is a recruitment driven income opportunity, with the more paid in affiliate memberships resulting in higher commissions paid out.
Recruitment commissions are passed to uplines, ensuring pressure will be put on recruited downlines to recruit new affiliates into the scheme, with the Matching Bonus acting as a recruitment incentive, paying out affiliates a higher matching percentage the more affiliates they recruit.
Ultimately once recruitment stops at the bottom of the scheme, those affiliates unable to recruit stop paying their affiliates fees, then those above them do the same because then they too aren’t earning anything and before you know it the entire scheme has collapsed.
The pyramid scheme world has lots of ‘one hit artists’, and this seems to be one of them (Scotty Evans). It’s a world where you contineously will need to expand your network to NEW markets and leave the old ones.
It’s one of the negative effects in that business, and it happens to almost everyone. The first or second time they try to organize something is usually most ‘successful’ (in terms of participants). From there it goes down hill, the old network will rapidly become less interested.
The same thing will also happen to people lower down in the system. Their old network will need to be almost completely replaced when a scheme collapses.
New programs in new markets may work. New front figures may work. But the same thing will happen again and again. It’s a ‘one hit market’ in itself, not sustainable for any contineous growth.
The problem again is people don’t check history often enough. There needs to be documented cases of each of these suspect schemes (screenshots and such) and who are they connected to, who was promoting them (with archived proof by linking to WaybackMachine) and such.
THEN people can look up a person’s REAL reputation rather than their embellishments, like “serial ponzi pimp” instead of the fictional “serial internet entrepreneur”.
As a point of interest, here’s the Ultimate Power Profits affiliate call schedule since April 25th:
Hi guys, I am a freelance programmer that did some work on that site….I can tell you that TripleMatch has nothing to do with Scott Evans or GlobalOne.
So why are the websites being hosted on the same private server?
Who owns Triple Match then?
The other domains found on the same server:
igobidwin.com (I didn’t check it)
ipayfire.com (under construction)
globalonecompanies.com (under construction)
gotoinfinity.com (under construction)
projectsavelives.org (fund raising ?)
boric.com (photo galleries, demo)
cheryl-ann.com (not found)
In the interests of transparency I received the following email from a “James Hill”, using a Triple Match domain email address, a few hours ago:
Given that Triple Match do not publicly disclose any information about the company and that BehindMLM only raised the question based on documented and cited evidence, I replied,
If I hear anything back I’ll update the article.
Private domain registrations, shared hosting, failing to provide any information on the Triple Match website, allegedly unrelated companies being hosted on the same machines by “developers” and UPP harping on about some new system they’re going to launch… something smells fishy but pending clarification we’ll still naturally give Triple Match the benefit of the doubt.
As for now, that is all the information publicly available on the company.
Review updated with clarification from owner James Hill.
I’ve recommended he ditch the “you have no sponsor” splash page that provides no information on the company to visitors and disclose to prospective affiliates who’s running the company on the website.
They’re probably too lazy to put in a “rotator” like Vitel, that randomly assigns an affiliate if a visitor comes in with no referral ID.
Mr. Hill can also pay GoDaddy or DotEasy or whoever for hosting, only a few bucks a month, and have the developer upload that somewhere so he doesn’t have to share the “stink” of GlobalOne. 😀
GlobalOne’s server downgrade could be interesting down the track. Generally that’s not something you do when things are going well.
Simple answer: currently they are using the same company to host, and the same programmer…the site is not owned or ran by Global One though.
I would not be able to tell you who owns the site, because that is confidential info I can’t share. But I’m sure it will come to light soon, and you could do some digging and find out. So far I am only dealing with one person there, but I know there are others involved.
I do know though that Global One is not the owner and they are not involved.
Oh dear. When an MLM company tells you its owners are “confidential” that’s never a good sign.
Especially when you’re caught using the same hosting as another dubious opportunity and are running a membership recruitment scheme.
Well, I guess James wrote you so you all know now who at least one person is that is involved there.
As to GO moving to other servers, I don’t know what they are doing right now or what their plans are, as I have not done much of any work on their existing site in the past 2 months since they have not offered to pay me and tell me what needs done.
If they are launching something new they have not included me in on it. They have not shared any plans with me at all as to what their intentions are.
Their move happened along with a decrease in memberships, which I’m not surprised over because they had me make several changes to their comp plan earlier this year, but have not updated the website to reflect those changes, and have not been having any calls. Consequently, I think people get frustrated and leave.
I honestly have to say that you guys should be cautious of anything Global One launches in the future. It seems they hype things a lot, but when it comes time to get the programming done to fulfill promises they made, they either don’t have or don’t want to put the money up to get the job done….but I say this right now not knowing what they are planning since there is no communication with them. I guess only time will tell.
Personally I believe Global One went down the can when the SEC busted Zeek Rewards. That killed their business right then and there.
There’s a few revenue-sharing Ponzi points companies left but they all appear to be in decline. After that honeymoon period of virtually everyone 100% compounding for the first 90/120 whatever days, things quickly fall apart.
Zeek broke past that because they sucked the general public in. The chances of that happening again are slim to none, at least not for another few years.
These things tend to be cyclic in nature. Last year it was the climax of the re-invention of the Ponzi scheme. This year I think there’s going to be a major bust up of one of the big “pass-up” 100% commission gifting schemes going around.
Just an update from me: I am no longer involved in the TripleMatch development. I just don’t have faith in these types of systems or feel like dealing with them. They are just too complex to program and the people behind them expect you to work for next to nothing or work on promises that most likely will never be kept.
I decided to concentrate instead on more concrete stuff and am involved in something much better. They got another programmer working on that system now so I won’t be able to offer anymore insight on it.
It seems GlobalOne (ultimatepowerprofits) has totally shut down. Last I heard, they only had a hand full of people still paying (not sure why those people were even still paying) and they were making claims that they were working on tweaking their program and adding products…which is a load of BS since there has been no programming done for months and they were not adding anything to the system.
They had not even ran or payout out commissions for months either. I’d advise anyone to just stay away from anything these guys come up with.
