Dream Come True fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Dream Come True’s website domain (“dreamcometrue.ai”), was privately registered on September 26th, 2021.

Dream Come True’s FaceBook page was created in November 2021. Marketing began on or around May 2022.

Dream Come True’s marketing material cites Adnan Ahmed and Asim Jamil as co-founders of the company.

I wasn’t able to get a reading on Ahmed but Jamil appears to be a UK national with ties to Dubai and Pakistan.

As early as February 2021 BehindMLM readers cited Adnan Ahmed and Asim Jamil as co-founders of Ride to the Future.

Ride to the Future, commonly abbreviated as R2F, was an MLM Ponzi scheme that pretended to be operated from Panama.

Launched in late 2019, Ride to the Future collapsed in early to mid 2021. A few months later preparations for Dream Come True began.

Someone who appears to work closely with Ahmed and Jamil is Geocelh Gee:

Cited as “Geo G.”, Gee is Dream Come True’s “Country Manager”.

On its website Dream Come True provides a corporate address in Dubai. Dubai is the MLM crime capital of the world.

Similar to the Ride to the Future’s Panama ruse, Dream Come True pretends to have a head office in Ireland.

I found nothing suggesting Dream Come True has any ties to Ireland. The company is run from Dubai.

BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:

1. If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
2. 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 Dream Come True, read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]

Text ALN fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

BehindMLM came across Text ALN in our recent Matrix Empire review. Because of our research for that review we can confirm Text ALN is owned and operated by Dustin Mansell.

Mansell (right) is based out of the US and is a prolific prolific promoter of MLM opportunities.

In addition to Matrix Empire, over the past few months Mansell has promoted:

• Against All Odds – Dun Putnam NFT scheme
• Hapi Travel – travel-based MLM opp likely operating as a pyramid scheme
• IX Global – MLM securities fraud, money laundering arrest in India
• Quick Silver – ISN Coins spinoff
• Infinity Matrix – pyramid scheme
• B-Eco – Dan Putnam fuel tab cash grab
• Intelligence Prime Capital – Boris CEO collapsed MLM crypto Ponzi

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…]

Fusion Xperience fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

I’m aware of two website domains attached to Fusion Xperience:

• “fusionprotocol.io” – privately registered on June 12th, 2022
• “fusionexchange.io” – privately registered on June 12th, 2022

Fusion Xperience cites Raphael Peter (aka Raphael Peters) as “facilitator” of the company.

Peter is based out of Texas in the US and, as far as I can tell, is running Fusion Xperience.

Other names tied to Fusion Xperience include:

• Serah Julian (aka Sassy Entrepreneur, Miss Sassy) in Jamaica
• Bill Trimble in the UK
• Dennis Edafiogho in Nigeria
• “Mr. Bobby” – cited as Fusion Xperience’s lead developer
• Rashid Gary in the US
• Chris Clark (aka Coach Chris) in the US

While Raphel Peter is running Fusion Xperience, its FaceBook page is primarily managed from Nigeria and the UK:

Circa 2018 Peter was promoting the weight loss MLM Total Life Changes. By late 2020 Peters had begun promoting fraudulent investment opportunities:

That leads into Peter launching Fusion Xperience in late 2022.

Despite marketing efforts, Fusion Xperience only appears to have taken off in the US.

SimilarWeb tracks a few thousand visits to “fusionprotocol.io” a month (5100 visits in November down from 10,700 visits in September).

Top sources of traffic to “fusionprotocol.io” are currently the UAE (34%), Ukraine (34%) and Denmark (31%).

SimilarWeb tracked 88,200 visits to “fusionexchange.io” in November, up from 2600 in October.

65% of website traffic to “fusionexchange.io” originates from the US. Canada and Nigeria trail behind at 11% and 9% respectively.

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…]

LT Wallet fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.

Three executives are named; Stephen Taylor (co-founder), Ajit Powell (co-founder) and James Middleton (“a member of the LT Wallet Project’s Nuclear Development Regimen”). These appear to be made up.

When looking at the properties of LT Wallet’s marketing material, we find Chinese:

This strongly suggests whoever is behind LT Wallet has ties to China and/or south-east Asia (typically Singapore).

Supporting this is LT Wallet’s Fivver style marketing videos on YouTube.

LT Wallet’s website domain (“ltwallet.online”), was privately registered on August 8th, 2022.

SimilarWeb currently tracks top sources of traffic to LT Wallet’s website as Belarus (18%), Brazil (13%) and Russia (10%).
