Infinity Reloaded Review: Luisa Menezes’ scam downline builder
There is no information on the Infinity Reloaded website indicating who owns or runs the business.
The Infinity Reloaded website domain (“infinityreloaded.com”) was registered on the 23rd of October, 2016. Luisa Menezes is listed as the owner, with a residential address in Langholme, Scotland also provided.
On Facebook Menezes (right) goes by “Lou Menezes Santos”. Santos is also an affiliate with Skinny Body Care and seems have recruited some of her downline affiliates into Infinity Reloaded:
Just saw a post and comments in an SBC group saying that infinity reloaded is all hype lol.
Well let’s just see who will be the last one laughing when we all reach platinum before all of you. And yes when this launches and you see BV spike in SBC.
Prior to launching late last year, Santos even went so far as to refer to Infinity Reloaded as SBC Infinity Reloaded:
Santos is also an affiliate of the Leased Ad Space cash gifting scheme.
Read on for a full review of the Infinity Reloaded MLM opportunity.
The Infinity Reloaded Product Line
Infinity Reloaded has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market Infinity Reloaded affiliate membership itself.
Once signed up, Infinity Reloaded affiliates are given access to various internet marketing tools (“downloads, software, scripts, courses”).
The Infinity Reloaded Compensation Plan
The infinity Reloaded compensation plan sees affiliates pay monthly membership fees. Commissions are paid when they recruit others who do the same.
Infinity Reloaded pays out down two levels of recruitment.
The first level (personally recruited affiliates) pays 80% of fees paid by those affiliates. The second level (affiliates recruited by your level 1 affiliates) pays 5%.
Corresponding commissions across Infinity Reloaded’s seven affiliate membership levels are as follows:
- Basic ($10 a month) – $8 on level 1 and 50 cents on level 2
- Newbie ($50 a month) – $40 on level 1 and $2.50 on level 2
- Warrior ($100 a month) – $80 on level 1 and $5 on level 2
- Captain ($250 a month) – $200 on level 1 and $12.50 on level 2
- Sheriff ($500 a month) – $400 on level 1 and $25 on level 2
- Pro ($1000 a month) – $800 on level 1 and $50 on level 2
- Pro Diamond ($2000 a month) – $1600 on level 1 and $100 on level 2
Note that the above levels are sequential. An Infinity Reloaded affiliate must maintain lower membership level payments if they upgrade to a higher level.
Joining Infinity Reloaded
Infinity Reloaded affiliate membership costs between $10 to $3910 a month.
The more an affiliate pays the higher their income potential through the Infinity Reloaded compensation plan.
Conclusion
Infinity Reloaded operates as a two-tier pyramid scheme.
100% of the company’s revenue is derived from affiliate membership fees, 85% of which are used to pay recruitment commissions. Luisa Menezes presumably keeps the rest.
In addition to committing pyramid fraud, Menezes also uses Infinity Reloaded to feed affiliates into various MLM underbelly scams.
An Infinity Reloaded marketing video states the
system packed with multiple income streams that will run on autopilot, such as easy1up, coinbase, moneyline & much more!
Easy1Up is a cash gifting scheme. “Moneyline” refers to Global Moneyline, a pyramid scheme similar to Infinity Reloaded. Leased Ad Space is also probably in there somewhere.
Coinbase is a cryptocurrency exchange so I’m not sure what it’s doing on Menezes’ “income streams” list.
The same official marketing video also refers to Infinity Reloaded affiliate membership as an investment:
There is no indication in the video or on the Infinity Reloaded website that the company is registered with a securities regulator.
Each Infinity Reloaded affiliate membership level seems to correspond with an invite into Menezes’ downline for a particular scheme.
Whether Skinny Body Care is part of the system is unclear, however Menezes’ Facebook posts from late last year certainly seem to suggest so.
Also unclear is whether Skinny Body Care is aware of Menezes’ conduct is unclear.
One would think pyramid recruiting to build a downline would have been against Skinny Body Care’s affiliate terms and conditions, but here we are a few months into launch with nobody batting an eyelid.
As with all recruitment schemes, once affiliate recruitment dies off Infinity Reloaded will collapse. With monthly ongoing payments across all seven affiliate membership levels, once the scam collapses the majority of Infinity Reloaded affiliates will lose money.
That’s on top of the money they’ll lose if and when the various MLM underbelly scams attached to the affiliate membership levels collapse too.
She used to be a member of some of my FB Groups, but I decided to remove her, since SBC Powerline seems very scammy to me.
Glad I did now.
Anyone promoting SBC Powerline is removed now.
The look on her face makes me think she is thinking “I can’t believe anyone is buying my BS.”
before making accusations why dont you contact any of the members?
You clearly have no idea, how the system works. Laurence i have no idea what group you are referring to lol. Yes every member received 85% commissions. and the system keeps the 15%, Obviously, i mean who in the right mind would give you 100%??
You have seen post in SBC group that its Hype? Ask the person that runs that group personally, as i have been talking to him. So fast to say infinity reloaded is a scam, yet you dont mention any other mlm, what about SBC?
Skinny body care is a pyramid mlm! And its not a few months into launch its 6 weeks! Feel free to contact any member!
Infinity Reloaded has great value for people who’ve not made money online before.
For just $10, you will be able to learn the basics to online marketing for example creating websites, hosting, domains and driving free traffic.
I don’t know a coaching program that teaches all of this for just $10 plus being able to earn at the same time.
@Luisa
Why? Do the members have a different compensation plan?
Nice strawman argument. The issue is you’re running a pyramid scheme.
Why would I review “other MLM” in a review about Infinity Reloaded?
Whether it is or isn’t has no bearing on Infinity Reloaded being a pyramid scheme.
@Joe
When you have no retail in MLM you don’t provide value. What you’re actually selling is the income opportunity, which makes Infinity Reloaded a pyramid scheme.
If Lou was out to scam people, do you not think she would want more than $1.50 per person?
Moreover, what other online coaching system is out there for just $10 where people can learn the basics to marketing any online business or website?
I have personally paid for one on one coaching that costs a lot more than $10!
Once you consider all the scams she’s feeding people into, it’s potentially much more than that.
As I’ve already said when you’re not retailing a product in MLM and paying on recruitment, what you attach to your scam is irrelevant.
Infinity Reloaded does have a retailable product. Since when is a coaching system NOT a retailable product?
I have paid $750 for one hour of coaching before, far more than $10 a month!
You can’t have a retailable product if you’re not retailing products and services to retail customers.
Bundling a product or service with affiliate recruitment is still just paying commissions on affiliate recruitment.
Also, the other income streams, people are joining with profits not out of pocket. The only money someone is actually putting into anything is $10, of which just $1.50 is earned by the system.
People can just use the coaching platform for $10 and learn basic online marketing, they don’t have to recruit!
They can apply what they learn to promote any website online. Therefore it is a coaching product for just $10!
Whether you pay yourself or steal money from others to pay for various scam memberships, someone is paying for it.
Choosing to recruit or not doesn’t constitute a sale of a product or service to retail customers (ref: Vemma). Neither does it legitimize recruitment-driven pyramid schemes.
No, people can join for $10 and learn Online Marketing, this is a “sale of a product or service to retail customer” as people are learning basic marketing and traffic generation.
There are courses that cost a lot more than just $10 and if you refer someone to the system, then you are rewarded. Just like promoting any other affiliate course or product!
No, it isn’t. They are affiliates because they sign up as affiliates. Irrespective of whether they recruit or not, they have access to the comp plan which makes them affiliates.
Go and research the recent Vemma and Herbalife busts, as you’re clearly talking out of your ass.
And legitimate MLM coaching should tell you how not to market MLM opportunities but it seems Infinity Reloaded is garbage on this front.
How not surprising.
People join the coaching system (Ozedit: Buying affiliate membership != joining a coaching system. Derail attempt removed.)
@Joe
Take it up with the FTC. Inventing your own definition of retail customers in MLM isn’t going to get you anywhere.
By common sense a “Pro diamond” member is ought to have access to $3910/month worth of marketing tools, some 391 times more powerful than a “Basic” member does with his/her spend of $10/month.
Is there any explanation what the “better paying members” receive that the “less paying members” do not?
A retail customer is someone who pays for and consumes a product or service. Very simple that anyone can understand.
IR offers Internet Marketing coaching for $10 a month.
Not in MLM. Retail customers first and foremost don’t have access to the income opportunity.
Seeing as you continue to publish misinformation and refuse to research the matter, I’m just going to mark any further misinformation as spam.
Yes, the Pro Diamond members training is a lot more advanced, covering online advertising strategies that would confuse the newbie on the basic level hence why it is not taught at that point.
You are basically saying that all coaching as well as affiliate products are scams! LOL.
Nope. You made that up on your own.
An MLM company without genuine retail sales to retail customers is a pyramid scheme.
If “all coaching and affiliate products” you’re signing up for fit that criteria, congratulations – You’re a serial pyramid scammer.
Most products that are available online today allow you to become affiliates and promote those products if you so desire. This does not make that product a scam!
^^ Nothing to do with MLM.
Single-level affiliate marketing != MLM. Last warning.
…and how shithouse is this coaching if I have to walk you through MLM 101?
There are many affiliate products, legitimate ones that pay multi-tiered and there are many MLM’s that allow you to become a seller of those products and qualify for commissions.
Our training is good enough to have people having never made any money online before earning inside their first few day.
Commissions across multiple levels (2 or more) = MLM.
Access to the income opportunity in MLM = affiliate.
Paying affiliates to recruit affiliates in MLM = pyramid scheme.
Adding stuff to a pyramid scheme (such as coaching) = irrelevant.
(Ozedit: “Alternative facts” removed. See FTC/SEC/DOJ definition of retail customers in MLM.)
it seems regardless of any persons views on this subject you will always force a different opinion, this program actually works and for $10, its alot cheaper than many out there, the prospect i am offering is to have the ability to earn way more than you ever spend.
This is a feeder program that gives you the ability to earn more with very little effort.
you claim this a scam , when you clearly have not tried this yourself, most of the programs out their are of a much higher cost and do not offer you the value this program does, and you will certainly find that the people involved in it are enjoying and earning good money on it, with no regrets.
i appreciate that your site does what it does , but this program advertises quite clearly what it does and people understand it , and are pleased with the concept , if anyone joins and then decides its not for them they are refunded ASAP no questions asked, where else would you find that??
this company have nothing to hide!! this company pays out weekly and monthly without any hassle or question, and its reliable, you wont find that in many other companies that you find on the internet.
and its got good prospects for the future. this program gives people the ability to earn an income and then move into bigger programs without the hassle of spending out of their own pocket which can only be a good thing, and for them to struggle to get the initial outlay for that product.
why not start pulling strings on this when they have complaints and then you have reason to, but currently there are none!!! this business is great and its growing from strength to strength!!
When the subject is “illegal pyramid schemes”, the only relevant view is that they are scams to be called out and avoided.
Opinions on pyramid schemes don’t matter, facts matter.
You don’t need to “try” a scam to identify one.
No it doesn’t, otherwise we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Nowhere on the Infinity Reloaded website does it identify itself as an illegal pyramid scheme.
And whether you’re pleased with scamming people in a pyramid scheme is neither here nor there.
Because by then it’s too late. You and your fellow scammers will have already stolen people’s money.
This is such an obvious scam that is being used to filter suckers into other scams!
I think Skinny Body Care would be VERY mad to be associated with a “feeder” scheme. Wonder if that’s why “SBC” was removed from the name?
Infinity reloaded is not a scam, it offers you courses, coaching, downloads which are are services.
This is as a legit mlm. SBC do not need to give permission! Go and contact their support & they will tell u the same thing! (Ozedit: Offtopic derail attempt removed)
Legit MLMs are not recruitment-driven pyramid schemes. And if Skinny Body Care, a US based MLM company, are endorsing a pyramid business model… #RIP
So many protests about not being a scam, reinforces the opinion that it is.
Natural reaction.
lol. recruiting taking a hit on this scam if you trolls have to come here to try and justify it.
if you were all doing as good as you say, you wouldn’t need to seek out articles like this.
infinity reloaded is a pyramid scam.
^^this is not a View it is a Fact.
infinity reloaded members who are making money, are Stealing from their downlines.
^^this is not a View but a Fact
do you have any Facts, or are you just full of BS Views??
guess what! even the FTC will have strong opinions about infinity reloaded, and they’re not even in it! the FTC are such major BS trolls i tell ya!
and judges are just worse!! just Haterrz!!
Hey, Mikey,
as I said, you’re not very good at this.
You left out “and you live in your mothers’ basement”
Here’s a tip for you:
Throw away your copy of “Beginners Guide to Avoiding Facts” and tell us why Oz’ original post is FACTUALLY inaccurate.
You know, stop trying to distract readers with wild guesses about the lives of those who dare point out the bleedin’ obvious and stab-in-the-dark assumptions about the motives of those who participate in pseudo MLM pyramid schemes.
Stealing = Taking money and providing no value in return.
Not the case here!
So….what is the case? “I’m making money, so this is legit!” Is that the case?
prove your product has ‘value’. how many retail customers does infinity reloaded have?
try selling your 2000$ monthly membership package at retail. wear a helmet when you try. there’s no knowing what all people will throw at you!
WRONG
YOU are the one attempting to recruit people into an illegal pyramid scheme.
YOU are the one asking the public to spend money.
The burden of “proof” is on YOU and Infinity Reloaded management to prove it and your legitimacy.
I think Oz’s review has again hit the mark but, anyone who is new to the whole online fraudulent scheme industry can read the following and judge for themselves:
sec.gov/enforce/investor-alerts-bulletins/investoralertsia_pyramidhtm.html
Regardless of what the fraudulent scheme operator chooses to call the scheme, e.g., MLM program, downline builder, revshare, etc., the only relevant question is whether one or more characteristics of a fraudulent scheme are present, as seems the case with Infinity Reloaded.
the ‘coaching’ can be bought at retail without membership? whats the retail price?
a scam is a scam, whether it steals 10$ or 1000$.
just because a pyramid scam has a product with some value, doesn’t make it any less of a scam.
so, whats the retail price of your monthly product package?
no. people are paying to recruit and earn commissions.
if your coaching was valuable you would sell at retail too.
@ Oz… the promo video on the home page of infinityreloaded.com shows 5 levels of payout at about the 1:16 mark. Percentages are 70, 10, 2, 2, and 1. Video was just published to YouTube today.
Comp plan change already??
A bit funny that a site claiming to teach you such things as how to build a site didn’t bother to make their TOS, disclaimer, and privacy policy publicly accessible. Kind of a newbie oversight.
Using PayPal for an MLM isn’t the brightest move either, unless you don’t plan to be around all that long.
The fact that it’s used as a feeder into obvious scams says everything anyone needs to know.
Chris Bailey really? lol members have the choice of becoming an affiliate.
(Ozedit: Offtopic derail attempts removed)
As for the disclaimer, etc you can see this very clearly on the footer. As for Paypal, they use it as a payment processor not to pay any affiliates on.
You all keep saying its a scam and that you must recruit, etc that’s BS, just within the first level/course you can take what you learn and put it into action with your own business!
As long as a site, MLM offers value, service for their membership it is not classed as a scam.
An MLM is not only about physical products, as most of you are talking about. It can also be a service and much more
How do i know this? I work at an attorney, been in this game probably since most of you were in diapers.
Yes there are many scams out here, and you have to prove they are, or this is called slander and you could be the one that ends up in court.
I’m going to see if this actually all gets posted. i think enough is said here.
Big cleanup here. Lots of “alternative definitions” of retail customers in MLM by Joe Curtis and Mike Price.
Got to love the bubble world pyramid scammers live in.
Give your definition of a retail customer then. Someone who uses the product or service and not inside the compensation plan, right?
@Chris
Must be, was only two levels when I wrote the review a few days ago.
Guess the recruiters complained they weren’t making enough from their downlines.
@ScammerWorld
No they don’t. Everyone in Infinity Reloaded is an affiliate with access to the income opportunity.
What is or isn’t in “the course” doesn’t negate pyramid scheme recruitment commissions.
This is the part where you come up with one regulatory filing or statement confirming your BS. Every MLM pyramid scheme shut down in the US over the past decade has had a product or service attached to it.
You clearly don’t, otherwise this attorney has no idea about legitimate MLM in the US.
No retail? Payment on affiliate recruitment? Proof enough Infinity Reloaded is a pyramid scheme. All you’d have to do is cite any pyramid litigation over the past decade, compare it to Infinity Reloaded’s pyramid business model and the Judge would laugh any lawsuit out of court.
The industry-wide definition is someone who solely purchases a product or service and does not have access to the income opportunity.
An affiliate who doesn’t recruit does not meet this definition (ref: Vemma, Herablife). Retail customers and affiliates in MLM must be separated.
An honest admin wouldn’t be offering the “choice” to join scams in a downline builder.
The disclaimer I was referring to was the disclaimer page linked to at the bottom where the privacy policy and TOS page links are.
All three go to login pages and are not publicly accessible. Your leader needs to tweak her amember settings.
Taking PayPal for the purchase of an MLM product/service is a risk, even if IR doesn’t use PayPal to pay out commissions. They are still using it to sell an MLM product.
Oz already pointed out several companies that had products, yet were still found to be pyramids/ponzis.
If you’ve been at it a while as you say, you should (and probably do) know better.
Funny how so many long time MLMers are always needing to join something new. Very few MLMs have products or services that anyone is interested in unless there’s a comp plan attached.
IR will be just one of the many downline builders I’ve seen come and go over the years. Oh well, next.
I get my notifications via gmail and they come to my mobile phone.
All the comments appeared to be more paranoid as each person involved in this scheme added their views.
It shouts that people are uncomfortable with what they are promoting.
one other point why is there no https on the URL?
That means zero security.
Big red flag.
this ended up being a SCAM, the site went down for months on end with the idea of going back up, and when she stupidly closed it down she made sure that no one could withdraw any funds owed, and them made one excuse after another and another as to why it has not gone back up yet.
then a date was scheduled for it to go back up, lo and behold that day went and passed as we expected, now all of a sudden the site has not been renewed.
we all fell for this scam, and she walked away with all our money, and you try contacting her, she goes silent!!
she has walked away with quite alot of other peoples money, i wish i hadn’t got involved in this to be honest it was nothing short of a train wreck, and greed clearly got the better of her in the end!!
