B-Love Network Review: Innovation Factory’s 2nd token Ponzi
B-Love Network fails to provide executive or ownership information on its website.
B-Love Network’s website domain (“blove.network”), was privately registered on January 2nd, 2023.
In the footer of B-Love Network’s website, we learn the company is tied to Innovation Factory:
Innovation Factory operates from the domain “innovationfactory.biz”, privately registered on March 12th, 2021.
In the “projects” section of Innovation Factory’s website, we learn the company is also tied to:
- BFICoin – ethereum fork shitcoin
- BFICScan – BFIC blockchain explorer
- Dexa – NFT marketplace
- XchangeOn – in-house exchange
- BFIC Network – BFIC token staking and mining themed Ponzi scheme
BFIC Network operates from the domain “bficnetwork.com”, privately registered on August 9th, 2021.
BFIC Network appears to be the precursor to B-Love Network.
All of Innovation Factory’s various scheme’s official FaceBook pages are primarily managed from the UAE. This typically means Dubai.
B-Love Network’s official Facebook age adds Pakistan, which fits with the majority of B-Love Network marketing targeting Pakistan (and India by proxy).
On Innovation Factory’s FaceBook page, we learn that Omar Khan is the owner of the company:
Omar Khan (sometimes spelt Omer Khan), appears to be a Pakistani national hiding out in Dubai.
Khan doesn’t have a verifiable digital footprint prior to 2021. Khan’s FaceBook profile was only created in November 2021, and only features Innovation Factory related marketing.
Dubai is the MLM crime capital of the world.
BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:
- If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
- 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 B-Love Network, read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]

What do you do?
Well… if you’re Oscar Garcia, you sign a payment processor contract with yet another Ponzi scheme. [Continue reading…]

Billions Trade Club Review: Smart Business Corp Ponzi spinoff
Billions Trade Club fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
Billions Trade Club’s website domain (“billionstradeclub.com”), was first registered in November 2021. The private registration was last updated on October 9th, 2022.
Prelaunch videos were uploaded to Billions Trade Club’s YouTube channel in July 2022. The company launched shortly thereafter.
While it doesn’t provide any specific information, Billions Trade Club does provide a photo of what it claims are “strategic management”:
Through additional research I’ve added Billions Trade Club’s management names in the caption above.
Other than him being a random crypto bro running something called “HamdenCorp”, I wasn’t able to get a reading on Shakin Hamden prior to Billions Trade Club.
Jorge Rodriguez was the Commercial Director of Smart Business Corp.
Daniel Ortiz and Ivan Velez were Smart Business Corp promoters.
Smart Business Corp is an Mexican MLM crypto Ponzi scheme. BehindMLM reviewed Smart Business Corp in May 2022, following its transition to cryptocurrency (which Rodriguez, Ortiz and Velez were very much part of).
SimilarWeb tracked just 13,000 visits to Smart Business Corp’s website as of February 2023. For an MLM Ponzi scheme, that’s as good as dead.
If I had to guess, the writing was already on the wall for Smart Business Corp in early 2022. This prompted Rodriguez, Ortiz and Velez to abandon ship and launch Billions Trade Club.
Billions Trade Club operates through Quantum Leap Company LLC, a shell company purportedly incorporated in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a scam-friendly jurisdiction with no known active enforcement of MLM related fraud.
As opposed to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Billions Trade Corp is operated from Mexico. The company is primarily being pitched in Mexico and the Americas.
SimilarWeb currently ranks top sources of traffic to Billions Trade Club as Mexico (62%), Colombia (12%), the US (11%) and Brazil (11%). [Continue reading…]
