Capricon Capital Review: Forex ruse Ponzi scheme
Capricon Capital fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
In an attempt to appear legitimate, Capricon Capital claims it’s “officially located at Netherlands”. Supporting this is a Dutch address provided on Capricon Capital’s website.
This address appears to be a random residential address. It’s unlikely to have anything to do with Capricon Capital.
Capricon Capital’s website domain (“capriconcapital.com”), was first registered in April 2022. The private registration was last updated on May 1st, 2023.
Despite existing for a year and a half or so at best, Capricon Capital falsely claims it has been around since 2013.
We are Here SINCE 2013 Already Completed Our 8 Years in Online Investment Business With Trust and Excellent Reputation.
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…]

Oris Teams Review: Oris Coin “staking” Ponzi scheme
Oris Teams fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
Oris Teams’ website domain (“oristeams.net”), was privately registered on October 6th, 2022.
Further research reveals Oris Teams’ marketing videos citing Rahul Khurana as owner of the company.
BehindMLM readers tied Khurana to the TVI Express pyramid scheme back in 2013.
Khurana is frequently tied to suspected partner in crime Tarun Trikha. According to victims in India, the last Ponzi scheme Khurana and Trikha ran was Upnomix in 2021.
Despite Khurana being based out of India, Oris Teams provides a corporate address in Poland on its website.
Oris Teams’ Polish address is in fact owned by Davinci Virtual, a third-party retailer of virtual addresses.

LAM Review: Social media “click a button” app Ponzi
LAM fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
LAM’s website domain (“cocaqq.com”), was first registered in 2018. The private registration was last updated on October 26th, 2021.
Through the Wayback Machine, we can see LAM’s website domain was used to illegally sell gambling to Indonesians up until April 2023.
LAM’s current website and MLM opportunity went live sometime in late April.
If I had to guess, LAM’s current website owners purchased the domain towards the end of April 2023. The domain registration hasn’t been updated, which might be intentional.
It we look at LAM’s website support source-code, we find it’s run on Meiqia software.
Meiqia is a Chinese software company based out of Beijing. This suggests whoever is running LAM has ties to China.
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…]
TranzactCard loses US banking services
Two months out from launch, TranzactCard has lost access to its US banking processors.
In BehindMLM’s published June 2023 TranzactCard review, we noted VISA cards acquired through Evolve Bank and Trust N.A. and CBW Bank. Solid is also part of the mix.
TranzactCard acknowledged its US banking issues in an email sent out on August 31st; [Continue reading…]
BC-Invest Review: Trading ruse “click a button” app Ponzi
BC-Invest fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
Instead, the company trots out this baloney:
BC Investments began in 1984 as Bain Company, one of the world’s leading private investment firms, from a desire to earn a solid return for our investors, and has grown over the past 20 years to become an independent and world-leading investment open platform in 2023, with approximately $5 billion in assets under management.
Bain & Company is a US management consulting company but it has nothing to do with BC-Invest.
In a further attempt to appear legitimate, BC-Invest provides a Colorado incorporation certificate for BC-Invest LTD.
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.
BC-Invest’s website domain (“bc-invest.ltd”), was privately registered on April 26th, 2023.
It we look at BC-Invest’s website support source-code, we find it’s run on Meiqia software.
Meiqia is a Chinese software company based out of Beijing. This suggests whoever is running BC-Invest has ties to China.

Exulos Review: 1.2% a day “trading” ruse Ponzi scheme
Exulos fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
Exulos’ website domain (“exulos.com”), was privately registered on August 7th, 2023.
Exulos does provide a corporate address in Estonia in its official marketing presentation.
This is an actual address in Tallinn but it’s unclear whether said address has anything to do with Exulos (unlikely).
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…]

WeWorkTrading Review: Fake executive template Ponzi
WeWorkTrading fails to provide verfiable ownership or executive information on its website.
WeWorkTrading claims to be headed up by CEO and founder “Jackson Rathbone”. Rathbone however doesn’t exist. It’s a fictional name represented by a stolen photo.
WeWorkTrading’s website domain (“weworktrading.com”), was privately registered on July 16th, 2023.

My Traffic Powerline Review: Jeremy Duncan’s 3rd pyramid
My Traffic Powerline operates in the advertising MLM niche.
Heading up the company is Jeremy Duncan, who cites himself as My Traffic Powerline’s owner.
Duncan’s FaceBook profile locates him in the US state of Indiana.
Prior to My Traffic Powerline, Duncan (right) was promoting Got Backup? and Against All Odds.
As far as his own launches go, we have M80 Advertising in early 2023 and The Rocket Recruiter circa April/May 2023.
Both M80 Advertising and The Rocket Recruiter are MLM pyramid schemes bundled with advertising and digital products.
As tracked by SimilarWeb, website traffic to both M80 Advertising and The Rocket Recruiter is negligible.
With both schemes having collapsed, My Traffic Powerline appears to be a third reboot of the same pyramid scheme.
M80 Advertising, The Rocket Recruiter and My Traffic Powerline are all a recycled script purchased from Automatic Web Software (dba Direct Sales MLM Software).
My name is Jim Symonds, creator of Automatic Web Software, which has powered some of the who’s who of the big MLM programs of the last few decades. We’re best known for reverse 1-ups, 2-ups, and 3-ups.
We can also support configurations for 1 tier, 2 tier, 1×2 matrix, 1×3 matrix, 2×2 matrix, 2×3, 2×10 matrix systems and more.
