Hapi Travel Review v2: Travel expanded with pyramid concerns

Hapi Travel is a spinoff of The Happy Co. BehindMLM first reviewed Hapi Travel back in January. We were initially confused as to Hapi Travel’s compensation plan, later finding out it shared that of The Happy Co’s. This seemed cumbersome, owing to the company’s having different products (nutritional supplements versus travel memberships). Turns out we [Continue reading…]


Nexus Rewards: NXR Global rebooted with puppet executives

Nexus Rewards is a continuation of NXR Global. You can verify this by attempting to visit NXR Global’s old website at “nxrglobal.com”. At time of publication the domain redirects to Nexus Rewards.

ViaVeta Review: Half-assed personal care products

ViaVeta was founded in 2019 and operates in the personal care MLM niche. ViaVeta provides a corporate address in the Netherlands on its website. Heading up the company however is founder and CEO Hedi Khezrzadeh, who as far as I can tell is based out of Turkey. Beyond being incorporated as Viaveta Netherlands B.V, I’m [Continue reading…]


FocuStar Review: “click a button” task-based app Ponzi

FocuStar provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company. FocuStar’s website domain (“focustar.io”), was privately registered on April 10th, 2022. If we look at the source-code of FocuStar’s website, we see it’s localized to Chinese: This strongly suggests whoever is behind FocuStar has ties to China. SimilarWeb currently tracks top [Continue reading…]


Mainet Review: Collapsed BeTrader Ponzi reboot with forex

Mainet fails to provide ownership or executive information on their website. Mainet’s website domain (“mainet.business”), was privately registered on May 26th, 2022.

bHip Global Review: LaCore Enterprises’ pay to play pyramid

While BehindMLM has a whole section on LaCore Enterprises, we’ve never actually reviewed Lacore’s first launch; bHip Global. bHip Global operates in the nutritional supplement MLM niche. The company was founded in 2007 and is based out of Texas in the US. BehindMLM first came across Terry LaCore back in 2013, as part of our [Continue reading…]


Mayo Trade Review: Boris CEO Dubai Ponzi scheme

Mayo Trade provides no credible information about who owns or runs the company. Supposedly Mayo Trade is headed up by founder and CEO “Jess Hamilton”. Naturally Hamilton doesn’t exist outside of Mayo Trade. There has been an attempt to create an artificial digital footprint for Hamilton, including a website set up at “jeffhamilton.me”. That domain [Continue reading…]


TRX Matrix Review: YouTuber CR Juli fronts lazy tron Ponzi

TRX Matrix fails to provide company ownership and executive information on its website. TRX Matrix’s website domain (“trxmatrix.io”), was privately registered on December 7th, 2021.

TRX Matrix’s official Twitter account was suspended for “violating the Twitter rules”: One face we can put to TRX Matrix [Continue reading…]


Metaverse Wealth Academy Review: Crypto buzzword pyramid

Metaverse Wealth Academy doesn’t provide ownership or executive information on its website. Metaverse Wealth Academy’s website domain (“metaversewealthacademy.io”), was privately registered on July 17th, 2022.

The Last Network Review: Failed VOW cashback adds Ponzi

The Last Network is a marketing spinoff of Vow. Both Vow and The Last Network are founded and run by Bishara “Bish” Smeir. As far as I can tell Smeir doesn’t have an MLM history. Prior to Vow, Smeir had been promoting a cashback scheme for years: I was able to backdate Smeir’s CashbackApp scheme [Continue reading…]
