Dream Come True Review: Janex token Ponzi scheme
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:
- 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 Dream Come True, read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]
