Iberdrola VIP fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Iberdrola VIP’s website domain (“iberdrolavip.cc”), was registered with bogus details on August 25th, 2024.

Of note is Iberdrola VIP’s website domain being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).

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…]

Ageeon fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Ageeon has three known website domains:

1. ageeon.com – privately registered on August 15th, 2019
2. ageeon.live – privately registered on February 22nd, 2024
3. ageeon.icu – privately registered on August 27th, 2024

In an attempt to appear legitimate, Ageeon provides Canadian shell company details for Ageeon 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.

Update 27th August 2024 – Pursuant to Ageeon pretending to have ties to Canada, the Ontario Securities Commission issued an Ageeon securities fraud warning on July 23rd, 2024. /end update

Over on YouTube, Ageeon has uploaded marketing videos featuring AI robo-dubbed avatars:

Update 22nd November 2024 – Ageeon held a marketing event in Dubai on November 20th, 2024.

The event was held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and put together by Dannie Rees and his company Dr. Events.

Hosting the event was Ryan Hand (below).

On social media Hand cites himself as a TV and Radio presenter from the UK.

Introduced as the “head of Ageeon” was “Mark Watson”.

Watson, who is clearly played by an actor, has what I believe is a European accent. After the actor playing Watson was done reading off his script, Rogelio Soto Acuna was wheeled out.

Acuna is a failed Mexican politician turned MLM crypto Ponzi promoter. He is introduced as a “coordinator at Ageeon”.

Back in February Acuna was a “leader” in Own Capita.

Own Capita launched in February 2024 and pitched passive returns of up to 3% a day.

The MLM crypto Ponzi went on to collapse in mdi 2024. Own Capita had it own Boris CEO, so it’s possible the same scammers who ran it are also behind Ageeon.

Following Acuna a bunch of other Ponzi scammers from other countries took to the stage. Despite the event running at around four hours, whoever is actually running Ageeon remains unknown.

Nonetheless, 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.

Why Ageeon is a scam is laid out in the rest of this review. /end update

My Quantification, aka “My Kompromat Limited”, fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

My Quantification’s website domain (“mykompromat.ltd”), was registered with bogus details on August 24th, 2024.

Despite only existing for a few days, on its websiite My Quantification falsely claims it “was founded in 2012”.

Of note is My Quantification’s website domain being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).

Lume Capital fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Lume Capital’s website domain (“lumecapitalcorp.com”), was privately registered on August 13th, 2023.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, Lume Capital provides shell company certificates for the UK and Montana. A FinCEN certificate is also provided.

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.

The FinCEN certificate is also meaningless:

1. FinCEN isn’t a financial regulator;
2. registering a bogus shell company with FinCEN takes a few clicks online

The shell company –> FinCEN route is typical of non-native English speaking scammers.

Pursuant to its US shell company ruse, Lume Capital provides an address in Montana on its website.

The address belongs to Regus, a company that sells access to virtual office addresses.
