AVBOB Dream Team Review: Rameez Jakoet’s new MLM
AVBOB Dream Team fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
AVBOB Dream Team’s website domain (“avbob.app”), was registered in December 2022. The private registration was last updated on August 1st, 2023.
AVBOB Dream Team’s official FaceBook page was created on February 15th, 2023. This gives us an approximate launch date.
A marketing video on AVBOB Dream Team’s website homepage features Rameez Jakoet.
Jakoet is known to BehindMLM as a top promoter of Berry Trading.
Berry Trading was a “click a button” app Ponzi that targeted South Africa. The scam collapsed on around May 2nd, resulting in widespread consumer losses.
Such to the extent Jakoet is involved in the running of AVBOB Dream Team is unclear. The marketing video featuring him was uploaded to AVBOB Dream Team’s official YouTube channel on August 8th.
While who is running AVBOB Dream Team isn’t specified, we can confirm it’s a South African MLM company targeting South Africans.
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…]

Wings Mobile Review: Antonio Milio’s pyramid scheme
Wings Mobile fails to disclose ownership or executive information on its website.
Wings Mobile’s marketing material cites Antonio Milio as its founder and CEO.
Milio first appeared on BehindMLM back in 2021, as CEO of the BitWings Ponzi scheme.

According to his social media profiles, Milio is based out of Spain. This tracks with Wings Mobile primarily targeting Spanish-speaking countries. Wings Mobile’s website also defaults to Spanish.
As of October 2023, SimilarWeb currently tracks top sources of traffic as Peru (9%), Belize (7%), the US (6%), Vietnam (6%) and Colombia (6%)
