Ad Pack Pro Review: Adcredit Ponzi with heavy pseudo-compliance
Marketing material for Ad Pack Pro suggests the company launched in mid 2015. The Ad Pack Pro website domain however (“adpackpro-international.com”), was only registered earlier this year in March.
A corporate address in Switzerland is provided on the Ad Pack Pro website. Further research reveals a number of businesses using the same address, suggesting it is rented virtual office space.
Peter Müller (right) is cited as CEO of Ad Pack Pro, which itself is owned by parent company OneVision Holding.
Many creative and intelligend [sic] people with a common vision – that is the OneVision Holding AG.
The basic idea of the founders to combine the Know-How of several experts from different sectors, as well as their networks, to create a [sic] innovative Online Company, arose in May, 2015.
Possibly due to language-barriers, I was unable to put together an MLM history on Peter Müller.
Infact outside of Ad Pack Pro, there doesn’t appear to be any information on Peter Müller online. This could again be due to language-barriers but I’m flagging it as suspicious nonetheless.
Read on for a full review of the Ad Pack Pro MLM opportunity.
The Ad Pack Pro Product Line
Ad Pack Pro has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market Ad Pack Pro affiliate membership itself.
Once signed up Ad Pack Pro affiliates can purchase €25 EUR “ad packs”.
Bundled with each ad pack purchase are ad credits, which can be used to display advertising.
Ad Pack Pro advertising is shown to other Ad Pack Pro affiliates.
The Ad Pack Pro Compensation Plan
The Ad Pack Pro compensation plan sees affiliates invest in €25 EUR ad packs on the promise of a €30 EUR ROI.
How many ad packs an Ad Pack Pro affiliate can invest in is determined by how much they pay in affiliate fees (annual):
- Affiliate (no cost) – invest in up to ten ad packs
- Basic (€39 EUR) – invest in up to 50 ad packs
- Pro (€69 EUR) – invest in up to 100 ad packs
- Premium (€99 EUR) – invest in up to 250 ad packs
- Exclusive (€199 EUR) – invest in up to 500 ad packs
- VIP (€699 EUR) – invest in up to 2000 ad packs
- Hero (€999 EUR) – invest in up to 3000 ad packs
To qualify for a daily ROI payout, an Ad Pack Pro affiliate must click ten supplied ads a day (other affiliate’s ads).
Referral commissions are available on funds invested by downline affiliates, paid on up to three levels of recruitment (unilevel).
How many levels an Ad Pack Pro affiliate can earn referral commissions on is determined by whether they have free or paid affiliate membership:
- Affiliate – 11% on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates)
- Basic or any other paid Ad Pack Pro paid membership – 11% on level 1 and 7% on level 2
Inner Circle Bonus
The first fifty Ad Pack Pro affiliates who
- invest in 100 ad packs and
- recruit at least ten affiliates who each invest in at least ten ad packs,
receive a share in a 5% weekly bonus pool.
Joining Ad Pack Pro
Ad Pack Pro affiliate membership is either free or paid (€39 to €999 EUR a year).
How much an Ad Pack Pro affiliate spends on membership directly impacts their income earning potential.
Conclusion
Ad Pack Pro is a simple adcredit Ponzi scheme wrapped up in pseudo-compliance waffle.
In addition to owning Ad Pack Pro, OneVision Holding represent they own a number of other businesses:
- Job Booster Pro – web hosting
- Internet Academy Europe – an online marketing course
- Smart Shopper – online shopping price aggregator
- Smart Messenger – messaging
- Smart Affiliate – marketing spam tool
Job Booster Pro has its own website where you can pay up to €49 EUR a month for website hosting. Internet Academy training is €828 EUR a year.
Alexa traffic statistics to both websites are in the million plus range. My guess is both services are unlikely to be used by anyone not investing in Ad Pack Pro.
The websites for Smart Shopper, Smart Messenger and Smart Affiliate were broken at the time of publication.
In any event, what does or doesn’t happen with these companies doesn’t change the fact that affiliate funds are invested into Ad Pack Pro and used to pay an advertised ROI.
Leave alone the fact that revenue generated by ghost-town websites isn’t enough to sustain an adcredit Ponzi scheme.
The use of newly invested funds to pay off existing investors makes Ad Pack Pro a Ponzi scheme. The representation that revenue is sourced elsewhere is merely pseudo-compliance and of little consequence to the actual flow of money within the scheme.
By all means demand a dollar for dollar accounting showing external revenue being used to pay Ad Pack Pro affiliates, but don’t be surprised if you meet resistance or evasion.
As with all Ponzi schemes, once Ad Pack Pro affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new funds entering the scheme.
This will see Ad Pack Pro unable to meet its ROI obligations, prompting a collapse.
At €25 in and €30 out plus annual fees recapturing the bulk of ROI funds paid out, when Ad Pack Pro does collapse the bulk of affiliates will lose money.
Hi, I am the one, yes.
CEO if Onevision Holding AG, owner of Adpackpro. I give you exactly 14 hours to remove this content completely.
Tomorrow at 10am our time I will bring several criminal charges against you and anybody behind you. The papers are ready, I simply have to place you as an additional. name into the charge.
This is irrevocabke, once placed we won’t withdraw.
Regards,
Peter H. Müller
What, not even an attempt to explain how using newly invested funds to pay off existing investors isn’t Ponzi fraud?
C’mon Peter…
OMG, this is too f’ing funny!
“CRIMINAL” charges ????
Are you a policeman ???
So, let’s get this straight.
You and / or your lawyer are prepared to stand up in court and show how you’re not using newly invested funds to pay off existing investors ???
Excellent, this should be fun.
Then why weren’t they filed already against the others? There has to be others as you state you will add him in. So who else is involved?
Mr Mueller seems to think this is like poker, where you can have nothing, bluff and come out in front.
peter mueller is only a corrupt politican:
bazonline.ch/basel/land/Staatsanwaltschaft-ermittelt-gegen-CVPLandrat/story/15057827
Muller is a former politician?
I’m just going out on a limb here… but this might be a case of “I’m above the law” hey?
The truth is here, nogt in the newspaper:
baselland.ch/politik-und-behorden/landrat-parlament/sitzungen/traktanden-2010/landratssitzung-vom-13-juni-2013/protokoll-der-landratssitzung-vom-30-mai-17?searchterm=immunit%C3%A4t
Well and it was 2013, not end of 2016. It clearly shows the “expertise” of this site.

@Peter
So it wasn’t a question of whether you were corrupt, rather whether you were corrupt enough to warrant the suspension of political immunity.
Hardly something to be proud of.
Also trying to clear your name from back in 2013 seems rather pointless when in 2016 you’re running an adcredit Ponzi scheme no?
You have to pay around 100 Euros per month now so I’ve heard to stay in the business.
I know a few people that have left today after a webinar.
Does anyone know if a chargeback would be successful against adpackpro?
I invested using a credit card. Any help would be great as they have basically confirmed it’s a scam with the changes they have implemented.
Just do a chargeback to the credit card. Thats the advantage to using a credit card to fund stuff online because as the money is not actually yours until its paid off the banks work harder to get it back 😛
Ok thank you. do you know if I need any particular wording or anything that will help my case.
I can’t believe I was suckered into this one but they had an answer for everything and seemed like they where running reputable companies.
Me and downline missing 32 packs since December23th. Support says they packs went back to my upline.
The upline says he will book it back when it is possible again. But almost 2 months later and not AdPackPro , neither my upline are really doing something to fix my problem
I miss profit for almost 2 months now, 800 euro gone just like this + 2 months profit. A serious company will fix such an issue within a week, maximum 2 weeks.
If I got my packs back, I will come back here for an update, in the meanwhile I can say this company is not serious and not doing any effort to give my lost packs back.
Update:
pending withdrawals for more than 2 weeks now. support is not replying to any of my questions.
I am still missing in total (with a downline) 32 packs or 800 euro and nothing they try to do to fix my problem. My upline who got the packs is also not doing anything to pay me the 800 euro back .. he has the packs AND the profit.
For me this means this company is not reliable at all, not thinking about its investors … very sad to see this.
When my problem is solved, I will update here.
What it should mean is that you need to stop playing ponzi games.
If you’re at break even or better, walk away and stop trying to profit off of scams and the people they rip off.
For me this means you keep picking loser scams. Maybe it’s you, not the companies you keep picking.
They never replied any tickets before. What a cowards, just running away ….
Yesterday new rule: 25% of your balance withdrawable the other 75% you have to purchase packs … this means you never can withdraw all your money
@Chris Bailey: then you shouldn’t join any of all the online programs … There are some good ones, not that many.
@K Chang: the ones that run good, you don’t have to complain and the good thing is I have more good ones than bad ones; the fact you are here you also had bad experience(s) with a company now or in the past, nobody is picking only the good companies.
Fact you are reading this APP forum you are/were a member, otherwise I shouldn’t know what you are doing here.
If you’re referring to revshare type programs, they are all guaranteed to fail in relatively short order. Some are just run better and gain more traction than others.
No more revshare programs for me anymore … I agree on that.
Behind MLM and Müller in the Newspaper!

That just means you’ve been lucky in timing or had insider access (and thus better timing)
Ponzi schemes are mathematically guaranteed to fail. Trying to time them is a matter or luck or cheating, not due to what you’d consider “honorable admins”. You basically have to join early enough so there are enough sheeple joining after you to pay you.
Nope. The fact that I am here is I started busting pyramid schemes since 2009. The fact that you assumed such means you are so blind in your thinking it’s the only reason you can think of for someone to be here.
Think about it.
News about Mueller – the only one.
