TelexMOB Review: Shameless TelexFree reload scheme
There is no information on the TelexMOB website indicating who owns or runs the business.
The TelexMOB website domain (“telexmob.com”) was registered on the 2nd of March 2015, however the domain registration is set to private.
The TelexMOB website does have an “about us” section, but no specific details of the company’s ownership or management structure are provided:
Group of Investors and market analysts, who believe in a highly profitable market. The market Advertising and Technology gradually increases and already a worldwide trend. We are returning to once again make a difference in Multilevel Marketing.
Our Facilities are scattered in various world countries, so as to bring the security that everyone wants.
The TelexMob, begins operations in several countries, showing once again its market strength.
And if you’re wondering what the “comeback” theme is all about, it’s because TelexMOB aims to identify itself with TelexFree.
From the logo, the name of the opportunity, affiliate membership labels and marketing copy present on the website, the owner(s) of TelexMOB are clearly targeting those who lost money in TelexFree.
TelexFree was a $1.8 billion dollar Ponzi scheme shut down by Brazilian authorities in 2013, with the SEC shutting down their global operations in 2014. Hence the line: “Our Facilities are scattered in various world countries, so as to bring the security that everyone wants.”
The implication obviously being that TelexMOB believe they are safe from regulatory action.
Why would they feel the need to make such reassurances?
Read on for a full review of the TelexMOB MLM business opportunity.
The TelexMOB Product Line
TelexMOB has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market affiliate membership to the company itself ($60-$1250).
There is brief mention of advertising in the TelexMOB compensation plan, however this doesn’t appear to have anything to do with the MLM opportunity.
The TelexMOB Compensation Plan
The TelexMOB compensation plan sees affiliate sign up and invest in an affiliate membership. This is done on the expectation of an advertised weekly ROI, with affiliates also paid to recruit new affiliates into the scheme.
Commission Qualification
In order to qualify for commissions, all TelexMOB affiliates must spam the internet daily.
This is achieved via the TelexMOB affiliate backoffice, through which the company supplies affiliates pre-written advertisements to spam with.
Recruitment Commissions
TelexMOB affiliates are paid to recruit new affiliates.
How much of a commission is paid out depends on how much a newly recruited affiliate spends on their affiliate membership:
- Start ($60) – $15
- AdCentral ($220) – $30
- Advanced ($750) – $60
- AdFamily ($1250) – $120
Although not explicitly clarified in TelexMOB’s compensation plan material, I believe an affiliate cannot earn a higher recruitment commission then at the level they themselves bought in at.
Eg. If an AdCentral affiliate recruits an AdFamily affiliate, they are still only paid $30. The only way to earn $120 is to pay the fee to become an AdFamily affiliate first.
Binary Commissions
Residual commissions in TelexMOB are paid out using a binary compensation structure.
A binary compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a binary team, split into two sides (left and right):
These teams are made up of recruited affiliates, with points tracked between the two sides.
Points are accumulated via affiliate recruitment, with each affiliate membership having a specific point amount attached to it:
- Start – 75 points
- AdCentral – 150 points
- Advanced – 300 points
- AdFamily – 600 points
At the end of each day, TelexMOB tally the points generated by both sides of the team. A percentage commission is then paid out on the points generated by the lesser team.
For the purpose of commission calculation, each points is worth $1.
How much of a percentage of the lesser side’s points is paid out, is determined by how much a TelexMOB affiliate spends on their membership:
- Start – 10% (capped at 2000 points or $200 a day)
- AdCentral – 20% (capped at 10,000 points or $2000 a day)
- Advanced – 30% (capped at 20,000 points or $6000 a day)
- AdFamily – 50% (capped at 20,000 points or $10,000 a day)
Binary Bonus
If a TelexMOB affiliate’s lesser binary team generates at least 4000 points a day for a minimum 20 days in a month, they qualify for a share in 1% of the company’s total revenues for that month.
Unilevel Commissions
Residuals commissions are paid out on the binary earnings of affiliates using 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):
In turn, if any of these level 1 affiliates go on to recruit new affiliates, they are then placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.
If any level 2 affiliates go on to recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.
TelexMOB cap payable unilevels at six, paying out 2% of the binary commissions earned by all affiliates in a unilevel team.
Weekly ROI
Starting at the ADCentral affiliate level, TelexMOB pay affiliates the following weekly ROIs:
- AdCentral – $20 a week
- Advanced – $50 a week
- AdFamily – $120 a week
There is no maturity period for these ROIs specified in the TelexMOB compensation plan.
TelexFree paid out their ROIs for 12 months, so presumably this is the same contract length TelexMOB are using.
Team Builder Bonus
If a TelexMOB affiliate recruits at least 10 AdFamily affiliates within 60 days of joining the company, they qualify for a share in 2% of TelexMOB’s company-wide revenue.
This share pays out monthly until a balance of $39,000 has been paid out or 12 months has passed, whichever occurs first.
Joining TelexMOB
Affiliate membership with TelexMOB is tied into the purchase of one of their affiliate memberships:
- Start – $60
- AdCentral – $220
- Advanced – $750
- AdFamily – $1270
An additional monthly $60 “activation” fee applies, irrespective of which level an affiliate signs up with.
Conclusion
Whereas TelexFree attached itself to an irrelevant VOIP offering, TelexMOB have substituted in advertising.
As with TelexFree, TelexMOB’s advertising ruse has nothing to do with revenue generation, which is entirely pegged to affiliates signing up and paying their affiliate fees.
In addition to getting paid to recruit new affiliates (pyramid scheme), the inclusion of weekly ROI payments renders TelexMOB’s affiliate positions securities.
Affiliates pay between $220 to $1270 on the expectation of an advertised weekly ROI.
The rest of the commissions offered by TelexMOB serve only as recruitment incentives, as new affiliate investment is the lifeblood of the scheme.
As with all Ponzi schemes, once new affiliate investment (in membership) dries up, TelexMOB will find itself unable to meet it’s weekly ROI obligations.
That is of course if regulators don’t intervene and shut them down first.
Currently the TelexMOB website appears to be in an embryonic stage. If the scheme catches on, considering the use of TelexFree’s logo, terminology and premeditated targeting of victims of the scheme, don’t expect this to fly under the regulatory radar for too long.
Those who lost money in TelexFree would be well-advised to learn from their mistakes, rather than set themselves up to lose even more money to the person(s) unknown running TelexMOB.
Got two suspects for you… Reuben Hernandez, and Leonardo Souza
Reuben Hernandez already has a G+ page setup for TelexMob
Leonardo Souza was leader of “EquipeRio” Team in TelexFree, and there’s already a TelexMob EquipeRio on Youtube, so he’s probably running it.
Wonder if they were losers or winners in TF…
first of all, it’s extremely accommodating of these guys to include the word ‘MOB’ in their trade name. touching honesty!
true to their name they will behave like a mob, ie make some noise and run at the opportune time.
the registration is private, no one knows who the owners are, no office, no address for contact, just a flimsy website is available for the regular ponzi players, who lay their bets and hope to win.
the difference between telexfree and telexmob, is that telex free was registered, had offices, had real owners, had big lawyers on their team, and all this created a sense of ‘legality’ and ‘security’, which is why a lot of common public [and not only ponzi players] joined up rapidly.
telexmob, on the other hand, will quietly collect some money and quietly disappear over the next few months. only ponzi people will know it ever existed.
Original domain registration on march 3rd 😉
Elias Sousa of “irland” hey… well I guess that settles that then.
Elias Sousa = Leonardo Souza?
Meanwhile 234 Laurier Avenue West is the Bank of Canada head office address.
Lol @ Brazilian scammers.
This sh*tty scam has been announced here and there by Bruno Simoncello, one of the lowest scammers on Earth and former Telexfree and several other scams’ criminal. He is supposed to be behind that.
That guy was capable of setting up a Facebook profile and several other online blogs just to spread absurds such as “Telexfree was found not guilty”, “the american justice has freed Telexfree”, “Acre’s justice will give the money back to affiliates this month” and so on.
Lately he has started to announce the “new Telexfree” in the form of that TelexMob sh*t.
It’s clear that, as it is with Sann Rodrigues’ iFreeX scam, that “company” is nothing more than a website administrated by scammers to lure the idiots who still believe in Carlos Costa and his bunch of lies.
Meanwhile, former iFreeX scammers are joining former GetEasy scammers Viconcept in another attempt to steal more money from stupid people.
“Sousa” is a very, very common Brazilian surname. That’s the equivalent of “Doe”, in this case…
Or “my cousin in Canada”.
It’s funny how you people are so good judge. Even the Ernest & Young, one of the most renowned company if fraud was not capable to prove if Telexfree is a pyramid scheme or not.
Yes, I was worked with Telexfree, made a very good money in 9 month working with them. The voip always worked, some times not so good, but any mobile company has your ups and downs, Telexfree wasn’t different.
In the other hand Telexfree was very different, why? They never failed one payment, they were changing peoples lives, like never any other company has done before.
Telexfree has made history.
I’m not working with this Telexmob, not yet, because I don’t know who is behind it and also I’m still waiting for the final conclusion of Telexfree case.
Theres is a considerable chance of Telexfree come back, as the court in Brazil could not prove anything against this brilliant company, and if they come back, you can be so sure that they are going to close many other companies, because EVERYBODY will be joining Telexfree.
Thank you Telexfree, Thank you Jim Marril, Thank you Carlos Costa and Carlos Wanzeler, you made something that this broken system will never do for the world!
The entire world is a pyramid scheme but no one see it, you people were so well brain washed and keep believing in the wrong way of making money.
I fell sorry for you!
Uh, Ernst and Young concluded that ‘there is evidence that the activities of Telexfree have characteristics of a “financial pyramid”’ (Ponzi scheme).
They proved this using data obtained from TelexFree themselves.
The only people still in denial about it are TelexFree investors who stole money from victims of the scheme, secretly hoping it’ll come back.
…ripping off people.
Yes, of course you did. People like you are the only ones still in denial about it being a $1.8 billion dollar Ponzi scheme.
TelexFree was on on the verge of collapsed, as evidenced in their bankruptcy filings and later reinforced by the Trustee put in charge of the company.
Another month or so and it would have organically collapsed (Ponzi liabilities had stripped new investment dry).
Lol.
