PTFX University, aka The Private Trade Room, fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

PTFX University’s website domain (“privatetraderoom.com”), was registered in September 2023. The private registration was last updated on September 18th, 2025.

Further research reveals Mike Taylor promoting PTFX University on social media:

Taylor is known to BehindMLM as owner and CEO of the BFF Crowdfunding Ponzi cycler, aka BFF Global Network.

BFF Crowdfunding launched in mid 2023. Following a fraud warning issued by Australia, BFF Crowdfunding collapsed in April 2024.

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. [Continue reading…]

UniWeb fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

UniWeb’s website domain (“uniwebcorp.com”), was privately registered on May 10th, 2025.

It should be noted that everything on UniWeb’s website is baloney. The website exists solely to direct visitors to download UniWeb’s app.

Official UniWeb communications feature Chinese:

This suggests whoever is running UniWeb has ties to China.

TMX Global fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

TMX Global’s website domain (“tmxglobal.io”), was privately registered on July 14th, 2025.

One name we can attach to TMX Global is Brian Rhodes:

As above, Rhodes hosts official TMX Global corporate webinars.

Brian Rhodes is a US national and serial promoter of MLM crypto Ponzi schemes. Originally from the Missouri, Rhodes has since relocated to the Dominican Republic.

BehindMLM first came across Rhodes in 2022 as a promoter of Biman Das’ FastBNB Ponzi scheme.

After FastBNB collapsed we ran into Rhodes again with Easymatic and QunoMine. Other collapsed MLM Ponzi schemes Rhodes has promoted include CoinMarketBull, Vortic United and InvesableAI.

BehindMLM last came across Rhodes in August 2024, as co-founder of the TradeTribe Ponzi scheme.

TradeTribe was a reboot of the collapsed Capitalium Ponzi scheme.

While TradeTribe’s website is still up, the site has an expired security certificate. This is indicative of TradeTribe’s website having been abandoned due to collapse.

CapitalSpring fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

CapitalSpring’s website domain (“credi-spring.org”), was privately registered on August 17th, 2025.

One name we can attach to CapitalSpring is David Kalu, author of CapitalSpring’s marketing documents:

In an attempt to appear legitimate, CapitalSpring provides a London, UK address on its website. This address doesn’t appear to have anything to do with CapitalSpring.

Of note is CapitalSpring providing different addresses in its marketing documents:

Mauritius is a scam-friendly jurisdiction with little to no regulation of MLM related securities fraud.

Due to the proliferation of scams and failure to enforce securities fraud regulation, BehindMLM ranks Dubai as the MLM crime capital of the world.

BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:

1. If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
2. If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.

If you want to know specifically how this applies to CapitalSpring, read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]
