Last year Kuvera Global was soliciting investment into the Ryze AI trading bot. The company’s broker of choice was Capital City Markets.

The 30 Day Success Formula provides no information about who owns or runs the business.

The 30 Day Success Formula website domain (“30daysuccessformula.com”) was privately registered on May 20th, 2017.

Despite the age of the domain, 30 Day Success Formula itself only recently relaunched.

Looking at archived copies of the 30 Day Success Formula website, it seems the company has adjusted entry costs over the past two years.

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…]

Pure began as Genesis Pure, an MLM company launched in 2009.

Heading up Genesis Pure was CEO and Chairman Lindsey Duncan, until the FTC went after Duncan for fraud in 2014.

In the wake of the FTC’s lawsuit, Genesis Pure scrubbed any mention of Duncan from their website.

Duncan settled the FTC’s allegations for $9 million in January, 2015.

I’m not exactly sure when Genesis Pure was renamed Pure. but the first Pure branded video appeared on their company’s YouTube channel on June 23rd, 2017.

Today Pure is headed up by Daren Hogge.

Hogge first appeared on BehindMLM in June 2016, as founder, President and CEO of Q Sciences.

In August 2018 we published an updated Q Sciences review, noting Hogge was nowhere to be found.

There’s no mention of Darren Hogge and whether he’s still involved with Q Sciences is unclear.

I did try to research if he’d left and why but turned up nothing.

Further research reveals Hogge was appointed CEO of Pure in December, 2016.

Read on for a full review of the Pure MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]

A few weeks back I came across news that the Pakistan SEC had shut down ‘at least nine companies dealing in cryptocurrencies and offering Ponzi/MLM, referral marketing, pyramid business/schemes‘.

Although this was MLM related news, I didn’t recognize any of the company names and so left it at that.

A reader has now informed me that one of the companies the SEC shut down was Dan Andersson’s LEO. [Continue reading…]

The Global Game Arena Ponzi scheme has collapsed.

Rather than admit they’ve run out of money though, GGA’s admins are blaming affiliate investors.

As if blaming investors (most of whom are victims) wasn’t bad enough, GGA is hiding its collapse behind imaginary compliance. [Continue reading…]
