AdFeedz Review: Adcredit Ponzi pretends to offer cashback
AdFeedz provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the business.
The AdFeedz website domain (“adfeedz.com”) was privately registered on November 2nd, 2018.
A since-deleted AdFeedz marketing presentation hosted on the company’s website ties company support to a Skype account bearing the name “merry.makowski”:
Makoswki (right) was one of the first people to promote AdFeedz and started on November 8th, a full eight days before the company officially launched (Nov 16th).
According to her Facebook profile, Makowski is based out Ontario, Canada.
Prior to AdFeedz Makowski was promoting the Crypto Pros pyramid scheme. She is/was also a CryptoTab Browser affiliate.
On her LinkedIn profile, Makowski credits herself as “owner” of MMM Global.
Rather than the notorious Ponzi scheme of the same name, Makowski claims ‘that MMM happens to be the initials of my full legal name and I used that when I first came online‘.
Over the past year Makowski has promoted a number of cryptocurrency projects, most of which have failed and causes widespread losses.
Given Makowski manages the official AdFeedz Facebook page, it is assumed she is running the company.
Pending evidence to the contrary, it is also assumed Merry Makowski and “Ori Ginex” are one and the same.
Read on for a full review of the AdFeedz MLM opportunity.
AdFeedz Products
AdFeedz has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market AdFeedz affiliate membership itself.
Once signed up AdFeedz affiliates can invest in $29 “profit contracts”.
Bundled with each profit contract investment are a series of ad credits, which can be used to display advertising on the AdFeedz website.
The AdFeedz Compensation Plan
AdFeedz affiliates invest in $29 adpacks on the promise of an advertised 120% ROI.
Your profit contract will stay active for 50 days or until it
expires by reaching the maximum 120% (34.8 USD).
As above, AdFeedz represents the 120% ROI will be paid out within 50 days.
A 10% referral commission is paid on adpack investments by personally recruited affiliates.
Residual Commissions
AdFeedz pay residual commissions via a unilevel compensation structure.
A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):
If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.
If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.
AdFeedz takes 20% of funds invested across the first ten levels of an affiliate’s unilevel team, and places it into a Team Pool.
Rather than an individual affiliate getting paid what’s in the Team Pool, AdFeedz splits the balance with an affiliate and every affiliate with an active profit contract across the first ten levels of their unilevel team.
Each profit contract across these ten levels counts as one share, calculated daily when the Team Pool is paid out.
Group Pool
Within AdFeedz there are affiliate “groups”. AdFeedz affiliates who pay $599 every 4 months, $999 every 8 months or $1299 every 12 months can be designated “group managers”.
Group Managers receive an additional 5% of funds invested by their downline.
AdFeedz also takes 20% of profit contract investment across a group and places it into the Group Bonus.
The Group Bonus is shared at the end of each day to each affiliate in the group who has an active profit contract.
Each active profit contract counts as one share in the Group Pool.
Global Pool
AdFeedz takes 20% of company-wide investment and places it into the Global Pool.
The Global Pool is paid out daily to affiliates with active profit contract investment positions.
Each profit contract counts as one share in the Global Pool.
Surf Pool
AdFeedz takes 10% of invested funds and places it into the Surf Pool.
Affiliates who visit supplied websites receive 1 share in the Surf Pool per site visited.
At the end of each day AdFeedz pays out the Surf Pool to affiliates who hold shares in the pool.
Joining AdFeedz
AdFeedz affiliate membership is free.
While free affiliates can earn some commissions however, full participation in the AdFeedz MLM opportunity requires a minimum $29 investment every 50 days or so.
Conclusion
By their own admission, AdFeedz recycles 90% of invested funds to pay their affiliates.
Our compensation plan is a foolproof, unique, never seen before system paying out up to 90% commission!
This makes AdFeedz your typical adcredit Ponzi scheme.
AdFeedz affiliates invest $29 or more on the promise of a 120% ROI.
Every Purchase will give you a profit contract, you will receive cash back up to 50 days or until you reach up to 120% of the amount you purchase.
The ROI is paid out of subsequently invested funds, with affiliates encouraged to roll over returns through new investment.
Note AdFeedz’s erroneous use of the term “cash back”.
Legitimate cash back sees a percentage of a purchase returned to buyer. Naturally if this was 120% of the price paid, the company offering cash back would soon go out of business.
AdFeedz’s feeble attempt at pseudo-compliance sees them attempt to redefine an investment return as cash back.
While the pseudo-compliance attempt itself is meaningless, it’s important to demonstrate the distinction between legitimate cash back and AdFeedz Ponzi returns.
When AdFeedz affiliate recruitment inevitably slows down, so too will new investment.
This will starve AdFeedz of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind all Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of investors lose money.
On the 8th, I was promoting CryptoPros Founder opportunity, never AdFeedz, for Adfeedz did not have any pre-launch, or founders, or anything alike.
So or you an idiot or a big lair, I think both 😉
scammer meltdowns = always funny.
Ever notice how scammer meltdowns always involve insults, ad hominem attacks and lots of derogatory “LOLS” but very few, if any, counter arguments and even less explanation of why the original articles’ conclusions are inaccurate ?
Yes i do notice that. Scam victims have a huge ego mixed with arrogance and no logic. Most will not even admit they were scammed.
As with MMM victims they will devote their lives to him long after the collapse.
I think I know now why you do not allow members to delete comments Oz.
I nuked the offtopic derails but just so we’re clear, here’s Merry Makowski promoting AdFeedz on November 8th:
OK, so I will do my best to counter the arguments and never open this page again:
1- A little in the review is based on facts; most are based on accusations and pure lies, and as such, I thought that they should not be reasoned but ignored.
2- Unfortunately, I am not the lucky, immensely talented owner. I am a group manager and as such, I have the privilege of managing the group’s official FB page.
3- The above example of my early AdFeedz promotions, was not directed to the public but to my marketing friends. It was not any promo, there was not any URL to sign up. It was a page linked to a PDF document with a full compensation plan, directed toward potential partners and not early members.
As you can see from the snap, the text asked to chat and not to sign up. Not any registrations in AdFeedz were possible before November 16.
4- Last but definitely not least, AdFeedz is not a Ponzi, but 90% Instant Commission Program. Our genius, innovative compensation system is encompassing all members, FREE MEMBERS who want to earn by clicking on our already MASSIVE Traffic Exchange too.
Our 20K Advertising Credit Packages come with a Profit Contract and that contract stays active for 50 days OR UNTIL IT REACHES THE MAXIMUM 120% CASH-BACK.
Nothing in our plan guarantees 120% earnings, though as it is now, every profit contract is hitting the 120% cap way before its expiration date.
Our Advertising Credits Packages are REAL, VALUABLE products, providing members with 24h UNIQUES SITE VIEWS, UNLIMITED BANNER IMPRESSIONS (the system is charging for clicks only) and FULL PAGE LOGIN ADS.
Until today AdFeedz has delivered 3,041,423 hits to members websites.
I also want to mention the website’s extremely high-security standards and the quality of its unique script.
So who is the owner then?
Yet it was published for the world to see on your Facebook page. You can stop lying about having not promoted AdFeedz prior to November 16th now.
Recycling 90% of invested funds to pay existing investors a 120% ROI is still a Ponzi scheme, regardless of what you call it.
Whether you guarantee a ROI or not is irrelevant. The act of recyling newly invested funds to pay off existing investors is wire fraud of the Ponzi variety.
You and AdFeedz not being registered to offer securities in both the US and Canada is also securities fraud.
And stop using the term “cash back”. Paying a ROI out of subsequently invested funds is not cash back.
What you add to a Ponzi scheme is irrelevant – https://behindmlm.com/mlm/regulation/sec-reaffirms-adcredit-opportunities-are-illegal-ponzi-schemes/
Are you completely ignorant or just being deliberately disingenuous?
Have you any idea how many times that story has been presented and then rejected by a court?
Ask Charles Scoville and Andy Bowdoin how the tactic worked for them.
(HINT: it can be spelled “gaol” or “jail”)
She just sent me a letter trying to explain this scheme.
For a person that claims not to be an owner she seems upset that OZ is the only review that has it wrong.
I explained to her that it is easy to see the math behind the scheme and that she needs to take a look at Traffic Monsoon.
I’ve been following Oz for almost 7 years- since “Zeekler” was “new”.
Calling him names and playing words games will do no good here.
Oz has been calling out scammers with regularity and reliability for years. He also has shown a willingness to set the record straight when he has been shown to be wrong with facts.
Not tap dancing with word play or semantics, but substantive facts.
Sorry, but insults mean nothing against Oz’s track record.
Xorly
Aww seven years. Thanks for the support!
Same here xorly, can’t do without my daily dose of ponzi news over breakfast.
OK, So I decided to visit you again and Xorly entry are very sensible one, so here are few links to take a look at:
(Ozedit: marketing spam removed. We have already published an accurate review of AdFeedz’s fraudulent business model.)
As to me being the owner or having any connections with MMMGlobal this is a pure nonsense, so I should not even answer, but please notice that MMM happens to be the initials of my full legal name and I used that when I first came online 😉 it was years ago, check the dates 😉
BTW, if Oz was fair, my last comment will be posted and the owner of RevshareeWorks, Terrence B, https://behindmlm.com/mlm-reviews/rev-share-works-review-1-and-100-adpack-ponzi/
comparison of AdFeedz to Monsson proves complete ignorance.
BTW, he was the one in all those programs, Zeek, Monsoon, not sure about MMM Global, I was not in any of them.
What has “fairness” got to do with not publishing regurgitated marketing spam for a demonstrably illegal and guaranteed to fail scam scheme ?
Please don’t try to publish marketing spam here. We’ve already covered AdFeedz’s adcredit Ponzi model accurately in the review. It’s an adcredit Ponzi scheme, period.
You expect anyone to believe it’s a coincidence a serial Ponzi promoter just happened to cite herself as CEO of one of the most notorious Ponzi schemes of all time, right about the time said Ponzi scheme was in its prime?
It’s not particularly important so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Oh and for what it’s worth, selling adcredits outside of the MLM opportunity isn’t retail. What you do outside of the AdFeedz MLM opportunity has nothing to do with the opportunity itself.
Yeah so turns out Makowski would rather discuss anything but the fact AdFeedz is an adcredit Ponzi scheme.
I’ve spam-binned her last four or five derail rants.
Yeah, good luck trying to explain how did 90% payout morph into 120% ROI without “ponzi math”.
What was that scam that had “triple algorithm”? Oh, right, “Achieve Community”.
NOLINKS://behindmlm.com/companies/achieve-community/achieve-community-shutdown-criminal-charges-pending/
Yeah you got the wrong one with that one as I never owned such a site as you claim in your message to me or here.
Not even once has she came forward to say WHY ADFEEDZ IS NOT A PONZI scheme.
You know why? Because she can’t!
The real reason she is here is to bump up the scheme and keep herself getting paid.
She has a longer list of things you missed from her past and I know of them.
From the plan:
I have four words for you: “SEC vs. Traffic Monsoon”. The same nonsense was trotted out and destroyed in court.
Math is math, for every $29 invested AdFeedz creates a $34.8 ROI liability.
Same as any other Ponzi scheme, over time a larger group of people stand to lose an ever-larger amount of money.
That is the latest rant I was sent a few minutes ago. Then she runs off to hide till she messages again another rant.
How does one split incoming funds 120% and never go into debt is beyond me.
I guess they using the same magic Achieve did when they launched.
I seem to remember the same thing being said when you were pimping Rob Nunes InstantRevShare or IRS for short (not a great name to pick)
It’s sad really as I have known you for a few years now and you started out as having integrity and working to give customers value for money but somewhere along the line you went the way of so many people I know once they get a taste of ill-gotten gains.
The reality is offline or online Ponzis were never actually legalised throughout most of the world and any program that offers more out than in with no effort other than to force others to view sites they have no intention of joining is still considered an ‘Investment’ and whichever way you slice it $29 in and $34.80 out in a timeframe is called a Return of Investment.
So tell us Merry how can Adfeedz never go into debt? As far as we all can see the first investment by a single member puts the site in debt by $5. If no further investment is made but the tasks you set are carried out then how do you return that investment as well as the $5 owed?
I’ll answer for you. Through subsequent investment meaning in order to pay out that debt you need others to also invest but the problem there is that $5 debt never goes away because you paid off the old member with the new members money and now the new member is waiting for their $5 return.
As is the case once people stop buying your obligations will far exceed your revenue at which point the Processor Problems are used as a reason for delayed payouts to members. Then you could go as far as to say you are flying out to the middle east to set up a bank. From that point people should start requesting refunds right?
First it was called a Ponzi. Then it was revenue share. Then RevShare for a buzz word and now what is it called? Pure Instant Commission?
Call a spade a spade FFS.
Not sure you understand the ramifications of this. The more successful it becomes the harder you will fall as you have already been established as pretty close to the owner or the owner yourself. This will not end well.
BTW Oz’s article is not just on BehindMLM. It’s all over the internet.
With over 14,000 members so far and just over $9100 paid out.
It makes me wonder if she thinks it will payout forever for all the members?
I told her more than once to explain in her own words why this site is not the ponzi she claims it isn’t.
I see she would rather ignore that and rant like she is posting an advertisement.
I come to think from all her other past ventures she failed at in the past she feels happy to get paid in ponzi land.
With 14,000 members @ a payout of 9100, that just over a buck and a half.
Quite the take.
A good portion of those members are probably free signups
With group leaders being the smaller segment that get paid the most of the commissions.
The more that signup the more they will owe members expecting to be paid.
The commissions paid get added to the accounts in tiny chunks as people make their signup payment. Since commissions are split in pools and paid as tiny percentages to “active” accounts from the pools.
With just over 24,500 members it seems Adfeedz growth is slowing down and payouts are just down to a few per day.
With that many members you would think you would have pages of members being paid daily.
Now we get to see the death of Adfeedz creep in.
Where is Merry?
Guess it is time for those contracts to be paid up!!
When you look at the payout screen and see the payouts getting smaller and only a few getting payouts per day.
I think the sizzle is gone on this “stable” business model.
Still wondering where Merry is to explain it.
