Zeotar Review: EV charging ruse MLM crypto Ponzi
Zeotar fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.
Zeotar’s website domain (“zeotar.com”), was privately registered on November 15th, 2023.
Despite only existing for a few months, on its website Zeotar falsely claims it was founded in 2017.
Zeotar is purportedly run by founder Sebastian Martinez, who Zeotar claims is from New Mexico. Naturally Martinez doesn’t exist outside of Zeotar’s marketing.
In line with Martinez being from New Mexico, Zeotar provides consumers with a New Mexico shell company certificate for Zeotar LLC. Zeotar LLC was incorporated in December 2023.
Due to the ease with which scammers are able to incorporate shell companies with bogus details, for the purpose of MLM due-diligence these certificates are meaningless.
Over on YouTube we have Zeotar marketing videos featuring an robodubbed AI avatar and George C.
A year ago George was teaching English in South Korea:
Today George can be found on Fiverr:
It seems whoever is running Zeotar hasn’t bothered to find someone to play Sebastian Martinez yet.
Update 1st April 2024 – George C. hasn’t been seen in ZeoTar marketing material for a month.
He appears to have been recently replaced by this guy, who is also calls himself “George”:
ZeoTar’s new George shoots videos on his cell phone and is likely another Fiverr or similar hire. /end update
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

Referral Commissions
Zeotar affiliates earn a 10% commission on cryptocurrency invested by personally recruited affiliates.
Residual Commissions
Zeotar pays residual commissions via 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):
The first level of the binary team houses two positions. The second level of the binary team is generated by splitting these first two positions into another two positions each (4 positions).
Subsequent levels of the binary team are generated as required, with each new level housing twice as many positions as the previous level.
Positions in the binary team are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of affiliates. Note there is no limit to how deep a binary team can grow.
At the end of each day Zeotar tallies up new investment volume on both sides of the binary team.
Residual commissions are paid as a percentage of new investment volume on the weaker binary team side.
How much in residual commissions a Zeotar affiliate can earn daily is determined by how much they’ve invested:
- Eco tier affiliates can earn up to $2500 a day
- Swift tier affiliates can earn up to $7500 a day
- Volt tier affiliates can earn up to $5000 a day
- Green tier affiliates can earn up to $10,000 a day
Once paid out on, volume is matched against the stronger binary team side and flushed. And leftover volume on the stronger binary team side carries over.

Zeotar Conclusion
Zeotar represents it generates external revenue via EV charging accessories.
Zeotar specialises in producing lithium batteries and EV charging ports for sustainable mobility solutions.
No evidence of Zeotar generating external revenue of any kind is provided.
Furthermore, Zeotar’s business model fails the Ponzi logic test.
If Zeotar was able to legitimately generate up to 1.6% a day on a consistent basis, what do they need your money for?
As it stands, the only verifiable source of revenue entering Zeotar is new investment.
Using new investment to pay affiliate withdrawals would make Zeotar a Ponzi scheme.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.
This will starve Zeotar of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
Update 8th November 2024 – Zeotar appears to have collapsed. Investors in certain regions are reporting Zeotar withdrawals are being rejected.
Zeotar has stopped paying all members from Greece! The reason is because we don’t put other people with more money.
When we joined we read the terms and conditions and it didn’t say that we have to keep adding new people to be able to get the profits from our investment.
When we asked them why we should add more people since we are only investors, they stopped answering our messages.
Stay away from Zeotar because even if he pays you he will stop with this excuse!
Thanks for the update. Geo-blocking withdrawals is a Ponzi slow-collapse. I’ll make a note of it in the review.
