Read on for a full review of the Platinum World Team Build MLM opportunity.
Platinum World Team Build Products
Platinum World Team Build has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market Platinum World Team Build affiliate membership itself.
The Platinum World Team Build Compensation Plan
Platinum World Team Build affiliates invest $100 on the promise of an advertised $166,800 ROI.
This ROI is funded by subsequent affiliate investment and paid through a two-tier matrix cycler.
Matrix sizes used in Platinum World Team Build’s cycler are 2×3 and 2×4.
A 2×3 matrix places an affiliate at the top of a matrix, with two positions directly under them:
These two positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting these first two positions into another two positions each (4 positions).
The third level of the matrix is generated in the same manner and houses eight positions.
A 2×4 matrix adds an additional fourth level and sixteen positions to the matrix.
After investing $100, a Platinum World Team Build affiliate is placed at the top of a 2×4 matrix.
Commissions are generated as positions in the matrix are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of Platinum World Team Build affiliates as follows:
Stage 1 Matrix (2×4)
- level 1 (positions cost $100) – receive $200
- level 2 (level unlock costs $200) – receive $800
- level 3 (level unlock costs $500) – receive $4000
- level 4 (level unlock costs $2000 – receive $32,000
Stage 2 Matrix (2×3)
- level 1 (matrix entry is $5000) – receive $10,000
- level 2 (level unlock is $7500) – receive $30,000
- level 3 (level unlock is $15,000) – receive $120,000
Note that to withdraw any commission payouts, a Platinum World Team Build affiliate must personally recruit at least two affiliates.
Joining Platinum World Team Build
Platinum World Team Build affiliate membership is tied to a $100 matrix cycler position fee.
Conclusion
With 25 Dollar Legacy having stalled or close to, Ramon Escalera is trying his luck with another MLM underbelly scheme.
This time is a Ponzi cycler, with a $100 investment delivering an eventual $166,800 ROI.
That ROI is paid out subsequently invested funds, making Platinum World Team Build a Ponzi scheme. A pyramid layer is also added by way of requiring each affiliate to recruit two new affiliates.
And while the eventual ROI Platinum World Team Build advertise might sound enticing, it’s important to remember that realistically the only position(s) that will get close to this are those owned by Escalera.
At $100 a pop you’re looking at 1688 $100 investments at a minimum to generate a ROI. The upper matrix tiers will feed directly into Escalera’s position(s), meaning a ton of recruitment will have to take place if any other affiliates are to reach it.
Then of course there’s the Ponzi problem of even more affiliate recruitment required to pay off those affiliates and… well, you know how that ends.
Raymon Escalera makes his money and pretty much everyone else loses out.
Well I am a member under the 1st 65.. Paid as a leader.. #1 this is not a Ponzi… #2 We do have a product A Capture page and Web Site Builder..
The $100 payment is for the use of the product for 1 yr use. Each member is building there own matrix. 2 personals to able a member to withdraw earnings commissions of sales.
Funds do not or are paid to the owner. They go to the person above. Once a member maxes out and earns the top amount he is removed from the matrix.
Now if they want to continue to use the product for another year, they have to rejoin under a member below who just joined. Also his team from the 1st Matrix as they complete There matrix will again join me. this method helps all new people to move through the Stages of the Matrix.
Bottom Line all members will earn the amount of the stages. if they do not invite 2 personals who pay, they will not make earnings, just have the use of the Product for 1 Year.
So before you Call a Business a Ponzi.. best to know the True Facts . PS only way Ramon makes any money is the same as all members do he has a Position.
Having a product or not is irrelevant to determining whether Platinum World Team Build is a Ponzi scheme.
The sole determining factor is whether newly invested funds are used to pay off existing investors, which in Platinum World Team Build they are.
It’s used to pay a $200 ROI on the first level of the matrix cycler, so no it isn’t.
Correct, new affiliates directly pay those who joined before them. Ie. newly invested funds are used to pay off existing investors.
That’s how a Ponzi scheme works. What was your point?
Done and done. Platinum World Team Build is a Ponzi scheme and you and Ramon are Ponzi scammers.
I cannot login to pay. My email is not found and I put in my username and password it still don’t work. I even tried to change the password but nothing works.
Whoen I joined, I was under the impression that all of the people that signed in during the prelaunch and then paid the $100 would all be a part of our individual matrix.
The ones that didnt pay on launch day would be removed and the matrices would be adjusted with all those left who paid… however this did not happen…
i am mad .. and i am going to file a formal complaint with the North Carolina Attorney General that Ramon did a bait and switch and is operating a Ponzi.
Hope that you all will do the same and get this fraud put out of business.
