T97 BestPlan Review: Tron mining “click a button” app Ponzi
T97 BestPlan provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
T97 BestPlan’s website is a login gateway to the company’s app, through which its MLM opportunity is run through.
T97 BestPlan’s website domain setup is a bit odd. The company operates off a “T97” subdomain on the domain “bestlaidplans.club”.
“Bestlaidplans.club” was only recently privately registered on July 9th, 2022.
If we visit the domain directly, we find a Chinese CDN error message:
This strongly suggests whoever is behind T97 BestPlan 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…]

Cili By Design Review: Aquaceutical Cellular Nutrition Tech?
Cili By Design operates in the CBD supplement MLM niche.
Cili By Design was founded in 2019 and provides a corporate address in Las Vegas, Nevada on its website.
Heading up Cili By Design are co-founders by Brad and Marcia Hager.
According to Brad Hager’s Cili By Design corporate bio, he’s been involved in MLM for 28 years.
Marcia Hager is credited with joining MLM in her “early twenties”, going on to “co-owned her own mlm company” at 28.
I’m not sure when they got married by Brad and Marcia have been together for a number of years. For the most part, the Hagers’ MLM ventures take place under the Hager Marketing Group.
I was able to backdate the Hager’s MLM history as far back as 2009, when they left Cyberwize for Zrii.
The Hagers are credited as Zrii’s top earners for a number of years. That lasted until 2013, when they left Zrii to join FGXpress.
FGXpress was a spinoff of ForeverGreen International, both founded by CEO Ron Williams.
FGXpress collapsed in 2016. After FGXpress the Hagers got into MLM crypto Ponzi scamming through Ormeus Global.
Hager appears to have scrubbed the internet of his involvement in Ormeus Global. Back in March 2018 however, a BehindMLM reader noted Brad Hager was set to promote Ormeus Global in Thailand “next month”.
Sure enough…
Ormeus Global founder John Barksdale was indicted on criminal fraud charges earlier this year. He remains at large in south-east Asia.
The SEC filed parallel civil fraud charges against Barksdale. The regulator alleges Ormeus Global was a $124 million dollar Ponzi scheme.
How much Brad Hager personally scammed people out of through Ormeus Global is unclear.
Unfortunately Ormeus Global doesn’t appear to be Hager’s first MLM Ponzi scheme.
Back in 2012, someone going by Brad Hager claimed to have “a fairly large downline” in Zeek Rewards.
Although he now lives in Las Vegas, I couldn’t help but notice Brad Hager’s FaceBook page citing he’s originally from North Carolina.
Zeek Rewards was run by Paul Burks out of North Carolina. Although I can’t 100% confirm Hager scammed “a large downline” through Zeek Rewards, between North Carolina and Hager’s confirmed involvement in Ormeus Global, I believe it’s the same guy.
By 2019 Ormeus Global had all but collapsed, culminating in the arrest of John Barksdale by Thai authorities.
That brings us to Cili By Design’s launch that same year.
Read on for a full review of Cili By Design’s MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]

WorldOTC Review: Fake trading “click a button” app Ponzi
WorldOTC stands for “World Over the Counter”. Don’t read too much into the name, it’s not supposed to mean anything.
WorldOTC provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
In an attempt to appear legitimate, WorldOTC provides a bunch of meaningless or outright bogus regulatory certificates through its app.
One of the provided certificates is from the FCA. I looked up the reference number in the FCA’s registry and it doesn’t exist.
WorldOTC’s website domain (“worldotc.com”), was first registered in 2019. The private registration was last updated on June 17th, 2022.
I believe this is on or around when they current owners took possession of the domain.
If we look at the source-code of WorldOTC’s website, we see it is localized to Chinese:
This strongly suggests whoever is behind WorldOTC has ties to China.
SimilarWeb shows a large uptick of traffic to WorldOTC’s website beginning June 2022.
38% of WorldOTC’s website traffic originates from Vietnam. 31% is from Spain and 6% is from Peru.
