Pruvit is a nutritional supplement MLM company owned by Terry LaCore of LaCore Enterprises.

BehindMLM first reviewed Pruvit back in 2015. At the time LaCore was reeling from the collapse of Rippln.

Two Rippln principals migrated over to the launch of Pruvit; Brian Underwood and Michael Rutherford.

Today Brian Underwood remains Pruvit’s CEO. Michael Rutherford was Pruvit’s Master Distributor for years.

In 2023 the business relationship between Rutherford, Pruvit and Underwood broke down. This led to Rutherford filing suit against Pruvit, alleging Underwood was a bully.

At the core of Rutherford’s lawsuit was him wanting to cut Underwood off from a cut of his Master Distributor earnings.

In August 2023 Rutherford and Underwood came to a private arrangement. This ended litigation between the parties.

At least it did until April 2024, wherein Pruvit filed suit against Rutherford. Rutherford responded by filing his own lawsuit against Pruvit and Underwood in June 2024.

Rutherford is no longer at Pruvit and appears to be having financial troubles. The outcome of both lawsuits remains pending.

Of note is Rutherford claiming, in his original 2023 lawsuit, that his

overall commissions had dramatically decreased recently, so he did not have the financial ability to gift some commissions to Underwood.

As of September 2024, SimilarWeb was tracking ~53,000 monthly visits to Pruvit’s website. 98% of those visits are from the US.

FCB App fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

FCB App operates from two known website domains:

1. fcb990.com – privately registered on August 25th, 2024, used to target the Philippines but already abandoned
2. fcb880.com – privately registered on August 25th, 2024 and targeting the Philippines
3. fcb789.com – privately registered on September 24th, 2023, used to target Nigeria but already abandoned
4. fcb09.com – privately registered in October 2022, used to target Nigeria but already abandoned

Due to the random numbers in FCB App’s domains, it’s likely there are other domains targeting other countries.
