The Ads Team Review: OneCoin scammers launch new Ponzi scheme
The Ads Team website identifies three owners of the company; Muhammad Azam, Najam Ul-Hassan and Muhammad Imran.
All three owners of The Ads Team appear to be based out of the UK.
Prior to launching The Ads Team, Azam, Ul-Hassan and Imran were promoting the OneCoin Ponzi scheme.
Azam appears to have joined OneCoin earlier this year and stopped around August.
On September 29th Najam Ul-Hassan bought a new Mercedes car, crediting “network marketing” as the reason he was able to afford the purchase.
Thanks to All Mighty and Network Marketing that I was able to buy Brand New Mercedes.
The Journey from Working for someone to Becoming my own Boss has been extraordinary.
It’s going to get better as we are getting ready for the Biggest launch of my whole career. It’s going to be game changer and trend setter.
Prior to signing up as a OneCoin affiliate, Muhammad Imran was an affiliate with ACN.
Update 25th October 2016 – Muhammad Imran has been in touch and advised that, as of October 24th, he is ‘not longer belong to TheAdsTEAM any more’.
Why Imran chose to leave The Ads Team was not provided.
As at the time of this update Imran is still listed on The Ads Team’s “about us” website page and a member of the official The Ads Team Facebook group./end update
Azam, Ul-Hassan and Imran all appear to have been recruited into the same OneCoin downline earlier this year. Whether they are still affiliates with the company is unclear.
Read on for a full review of The Ads Team MLM opportunity.
The Ads Team Product Line
The Ads Team has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market The Ads Team affiliate membership itself.
Once signed up, The Ads Team affiliates invest in Ad Packs to participate in the income opportunity.
Bundled with each Ad Pack investment are a series of ad credits, which can be used to display advertising on The Ads Team website.
The Ads Team Compensation Plan
The Ads Team compensation plan sees affiliates invest $10, $25 or $50 in Ad Packs, on the promise of an advertised 120% ROI.
- invest $10 and receive a 110% ROI (maximum 200 active deposits)
- invest $25 and receive a 115% ROI (maximum 500 active deposits)
- invest $50 and receive a 120% ROI (maximum 2000 active deposits
Daily ROI payments are based on how much a The Ads Team affiliate has invested:
- invest $10 and receive up to 2.5% a day
- invest $25 and receive up to 2.25% a day
- invest $50 and receive up to 2% a day
Note that in order to qualify for the daily ROI, a The Ads Team affiliate must watch ten company-supplied ads each day.
Referral Commissions
Referral commissions in The Ads Team are paid out 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.
The Ads Team cap payable unilevel levels at five, with commissions paid as a percentage of funds invested and reinvested by affiliates in the unilevel team:
- level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) – 8%
- level 2 – 2%
- levels 3 to 5 – 1%
Joining The Ads Team
The Ads Team affiliate membership is free, however an affiliate must invest a minimum $10 to $50 to participate in the attached MLM opportunity.
Conclusion
As per The Ads Team FAQ;
Is TheAdsTeam an investment opportunity?
No. We are not an investment or HYIP that tells you how much you will make daily or fixed plan.
OneCoin’s commission withdrawal problems are an open secret.
A visit to the OneCoin Facebook pages is all that’s needed to confirm affiliates are unable and have been unable to withdraw non-recruitment commissions for months.
If I had to guess, I’d say OneCoin recruitment died down for Muhammad Azam, Najam Ul-Hassan and Muhammad Imran around August, prompting them to launch their own Ponzi scheme.
Under the guise of selling advertising, The Ads Team uses newly invested funds to pay existing affiliates an up to 120% ROI.
In an effort to justify Ponzi fraud, The Ads Team claims
any program that claims a ROI (Return on investment) but has NO PRODUCT IS A SCAM! But TheAdsTeam Advertising Platforms sell ADVERTISING SPACE!
The reality is that it is the use of newly invested funds to pay off existing investors the defines The Ads Team as a Ponzi scheme.
As per the SEC, what is bundled to that core flow of money within an MLM opportunity is irrelevant.
Of note is the SEC’s recent shutdown of Traffic Monsoon, who used the same adcredit Ponzi model as The Ads Team.
Another attempt to legitimize Ponzi fraud by The Ads Team is the inclusion of third-party affiliate banners on their site.
Again, this is external to the core investment mechanic of the scheme and does not negate the use of newly invested The Ads Team affiliate funds to pay off existing affiliates.
As with all Ponzi schemes once recruitment of new affiliates dries up so too will new fund entering the system.
This will see The Ads Team unable to meet its advertised ROI obligations.
At that point the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of The Ads Team affiliates with a loss.
Hey Oz, what about their claim that they have done deals and contracts with major retailers like Adidas and even Alibaba? Have you checked on that?
Perhaps the more pertinent question is has The Ads Team provided any evidence to back up their claims? They’re the ones putting it out there.
Anyone can sign up with a third-party affiliate network and display banners on a website.
And in any event even if such deals and contracts existed, that doesn’t excuse Ponzi fraud.
This article is againsit truth in my opinion.
I know these guys and I know they are still active in onecoin. onecoin is a growing phenomenon whether we agree or not.
people called bitcoin a scam and now look where bitcoin is. Being an affiliate for ACN or onecoin doesnt make them bad. both are credible company. acn has been arround for more than 23 years.
I believe they have a genuine programme in shape of Theadsteam and I wish them all the success.
The review doesn’t state they aren’t.
Growing Ponzi schemes don’t have payment problems.
Bitcoin is not an MLM opportunity and is irrelevant.
You really think it’s a coincidence this lot were promoting one Ponzi scheme before launching their own? Yeah… absolutely.
Translation: You’re a The Ads Team investor hoping to rip off people through Ponzi fraud.
At least be honest about it.
Precisely. Had already asked them to provide proof of such partnerships, when in fact everyone can be a Alibaba affiliate.
LOL, they are smoking those people inside that group.
I don’t know do You really know what are You writing. Ponzi scheme.
Can You earn some money if You won’t bring even one affiliate in ponzi scheme?? in revshare You can make money alone without any people in downline.
In MLM 97% people not earning giving huge profit for only top members. in revshares programmes 97% people earn. it’s a future of internet making money systems and calls its ponzi is accurate i think.
some of them are simply based on paying money from new members but also by internal profits from selling own products to advertise other online business. I’m using them also.
Check subject and do research before writing any article otherwise it’s not professional
What does that have to do with using newly invested funds to pay off existing investors?
Absolute horseshit.
When you are paying a >100% ROI it is mathematically impossible for the majority of investors to make money.
Go back to school and get some basic education in math before running around the internet spouting logic-defying Ponzi rhetoric.
These 3 idiots are real conmen. They are called box party in London. They used to buy ACN Benevita boxes without IBOs consent with IBOs credit cards to qualify them and earn binuses.
They connec people in ACN, Teaffic Monson and OneCoin.
I have spent sometime with them before launch up. Thrir plan is vlear. Make money for 1-2 years then disappear and put blame on banks and authorities. No one should trust them.
Review updated with news of Muhammad Imran’s departure from The Ads Team management.
This one sentence is enough to judge everything that testifies about any scheme to be a fraudulent one.
Don’t know if they have a money printing machine with them to pay 120%?
They were “razzle-dazzled” by the fancy-speak to believe fiction about how the money was “earned”. They don’t realize that the only way to make money is to SELL THINGS TO CUSTOMERS, (those who spend money to buy the product), not investors (i.e. those expecting to MAKE money).
When you sell something outright, you MAKE money.
When you sell an investment package, you LOSE money (you eventually pay out more than you take in)
By conflating the two, the scammers convince people that spending money is “earning” money, up is down, bad is good, and black is white.
Mr Shoaib S Ghouri has taken Muhammad Imrans role in the ads team.
He too is a known con man. He scammed people in ACN to maximize on their comp plan for himself, many people were left out of pocket and mislead due to his way of doing business.
Thereafter he joined OneCoin/OneLife and was kicked out of his own team due to his shameful actions of trying to screw them over under their chins.
He is part of the senior leadership team at the moment in the Ads Team.
He claims to have a background in banking and finance but is actually a con man. He lives in a run down property in Ilford, London. He drives a White BMW 5 Series.
He is heavily involved with money laundering especially between UK and Pakistan.
I feel shamed to be related to him.
Via email:
Would this be the same as the recently launched TheAdsLeader revshare?
Similar name but different company. And obviously an Adcredit Ponzi too.
Hi Oz,
I have some information about them and this program. I have been involved and participating since October of 2016, I have uncovered some shady practices recently. Can I speak with you privately?
Contact form button is on the top right.
Hey Guys, I am a victim of onecoin and Shoaib Ghouri has my money. I would very grateful if you can tell me whether you had any help from the police/legal.
This onecoin scammed me out and I too also learnt everything was shady and its all about ponzi.
Any info would help.
Put a complaint into Action Fraud UK and they will ring you and discuss your case. Be prepared to produce receipts etc so gat a copy of your accounts etc out of the back office before it either goes down or is not open to historical information.
You should also write to your upline and advise him he has mis-sold you a business product and you want your money back in full.
If he does not pay within a reasonable period you can take him to the Small Claims court in UK if it is less than £3000 . I am not sure which of the particular scams you are seeking redress for as you seem to have been repeatedly duped.
You should think about stopping as any further schemes will not only lose you money but harm your reputation in your community. GOOD LUCK AND LET THE ELDERS IN YOUR COMMUNITY KNOW THAT YOU AND OTHERS ARE VICTIMS!
My adsteams account is blocked why.
Probably because Ads Team is a Ponzi scheme that collapsed. Sorry for your loss.
