Meteor Review: Quantitative trading “click a button” Ponzi

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

Meteor operates from three known website domains:

  1. meteorusdt.com – privately registered on April 10th, 2024
  2. meteorusdt.vip – privately registered on April 28th, 2024
  3. meteorusdt.net – privately registered on April 28th, 2024

Of note is all three of Meteor’s website domains being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).

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…]


Therus Network review: Infinity Global pyramid reboot

Infinity Global was a pyramid scheme launched in 2021.

As an MLM company, Infinity Global’s business model was simple: purchase “bitex packages” and get paid to recruit others who do the same.

When exactly Infinity Global collapsed is unclear but a visit to the company’s website domain now redirects to Therus Network.

Therus Network operates from the domain “therusnetwork.com”, privately registered on June 19th, 2023.

Therus Network’s official FaceBook page was created on February 7th, 2024, which is probably around the time the reboot launched.

The last post on Infinity Global’s official FaceBook page (which for some reason is still linked to on Therus Network’s website), is dated March 2nd, 2024.

Heading up Therus Network we have what appears to be a carryover Infinity Global team, led by CEO Leopoldo Castillo.

On its website Therus Network provides New York and Costa Rica corporate addresses.

Therus Network’s New York address belongs to virtual address company Regus. This suggests Therus Network has no actual ties to New York.

Whether Therus Network has any physical ties to its provided Costa Rica address is unclear.

As of April 2024, SimilarWeb tracked top sources of traffic to Therus Network’s website as Costa Rica (49%), Chile (41%) and Spain (10%).

This tracks with Infinity Global primarily targeting Spanish-speaking countries across Central and South America.

AgiGPT-QT4 Review: Quantitative trading “click a button” Ponzi

AgiGPT-QT4 fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

AgiGPT-QT4’s website domain (“agigptqt.ca”), was privately registered on April 20th, 2024.

If we look at the source-code of AgiGPT-QT4’s website, we find Chinese:

Interlink Wealth Solutions: $1450 mail fraud pyramid scheme

Interlink Wealth Solutions fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Interlink Wealth Solutions’ website domain (“interlinkwealth.com”), was privately registered on April 7th, 2024.

In the FAQ section of Interlink Wealth Solutions’ website, the company states;

Interlink Wealth Solutions “formerly GlobalHawk7” originated in Australia in the fall 2017 and quickly expanded to New Zealand, followed by the U.K..

In May of 2022 GlobalHawk7 expanded to North America (Canada and the United States). A full global expansion encompassing the globe began in September 2023.

GlobalHawk7 (aka GlobalHawk) operated from the domain “globalhawk7.com”. The domain now redirects to Interlink Wealth Solutions.

Through the Wayback Machine, we can see that GlobalHawk7 and Interlink Wealth Solutions are clones of each other (same WordPress theme).

GlobalHawk7’s website went live circa August 2021. Interlink Wealth Solutions appears to be a recently launched reboot following GlobalHawk7’s collapse.

Citation of “FedEx” in Interlink Wealth Solutions’ marketing suggests the company is being run out of the US.

Trade For Change Review: PAMM trading account fraud

Trade For change operates in the forex trading MLM niche.

In its marketing, Trade For Change cites “William Coyle” as its CEO:

On LinkedIn Coyle represents he’s based out of Costa Rica.

If the information in Coyle’s profile is to be believed, he’s a failed crypto bro with a background in marketing.

“Kam” corresponds with Kam Salami, co-founder and CEO of the marketing firm MySway.

Nicholas Carrier, along with Salami, is a co-founder of Rizen.

Rizen sells AI avatars for influencers.

As per their respective social media profiles, William Coyle and Nick Carrier are based out of Costa Rica. Kam Salami is from Canada.

Trade For Change’s website domain (“tradeforchange.net”), was privately registered on January 25th, 2024.

GICAI Review: Quantitative trading “click a button” app Ponzi

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

GICAI’s website domain (“gicai.net”), was privately registered on December 30th, 2023.

Note that GICAI operates on the “h5.gicai.net” subdomain. “Gicai.net” as a primary domain is disabled.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, GICAI offers up a Washington shell company certificate for GICAI LLC.

GICAI LLC was purportedly registered on January 13th, 2024.

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.

Furthermore a purported shell company connection signifies GICAI has no actual ties to Washington.

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…]


Riman Review: Giant byoungpool personal care

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

Riman’s website domain (“riman.com”), was initially registered in 2001. The private registration was last updated on August 28th, 2023.

Further research reveals Riman launched in South Korea back in 2018. The company expanded to the US in April 2023.

Riman is headed up by CEO KyungJung Kim (aka KJ Kim, right). Why this information isn’t disclosed on Riman’s website is unclear.

Possibly due to language-barriers, I was unable to put together an MLM history on Kim.

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…]
