Areons Review: 2.6% a day Ponzi scheme
Areons provides no information about who owns or runs the company on their website.
Areons’ website domain (“areons.io”) was privately registered on June 16th, 2021.
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

Areon’s Compensation Plan

Areons pays commissions on referral 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.
Referral commissions are paid as a percentage of funds invested across these four levels as follows:
- level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) – 8%
- level 2 – 6%
- level 3 – 4%
- level 4 – 2%

Conclusion
Areons is a low-effort cookie-cutter Ponzi scheme.
I just recently reviewed CrypArena, which contains the same FAQ text:
Is your activity legal?
The legality of our company’s activities can be judged by the presence of all registration documents and licenses allowing us to attract private investment.
It seems either the same scammers are behind Areons, or someone is selling this template to scammers all over the internet.
This same FAQ template appears on hundreds of dodgy websites.
Getting back Areons, the company represents it generates external revenue via “forex, stocks and cryptocurrency trading”.
No evidence of trading activity is provided. Nor is there any evidence of Areons paying withdrawals with external revenue of any kind.
The only verifiable source of revenue entering Areons is new investment.
Using new investment to pay affiliate investors a daily return makes Areons a Ponzi scheme.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.
This will starve Areons of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
