BBC Global provides no company ownership or executive information on its website.

At time of publication a visit to BBC Global’s website reveals it’s “by invitation only”. The website itself is a marketing page limited to login and registration options.

BBC Global’s website domain (“mybbcglobal.io”), was privately registered on January 23rd, 2022.

BBC Global’s website Cookie Policy provides us with the following information:

The Florida address belongs to a virtual office provider and by itself isn’t important. What’s of interest is the email address, specifically the domain.

“Vtkp.com” is registered with a Florida address. The registration was last updated in 2018 and appears to have had the same owner for some time.

As a website domain “vtkp.com” has been defunct for years. So who’s using for an email server?

We get a full name from the Florida Residents Directory:

In 2019 Armen A. Temurian tied Kevin Dalton Johnson to Travelada. Travelada was a travel themed pyramid scheme with an attached TACP package investment opportunity.

Temurian was behind the collapsed Vista Network Ponzi scheme. He sued Dalton and other defendants in 2019 alleging, among other things, extortion.

Dalton and his fellow co-defendants counter-sued. Temurian’s lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed in 2020. The counter-claim lawsuit is still playing out.

Temurian also tied Dalton to the ABC Systems Ponzi scheme in 2019.

I was able to independently verify this through Dalton’s “vtpk” email address:

Kevin Dalton Johnson is a resident of Florida. Virtual office addresses aside, it follows thus that BBC Global also operates out of Florida.

Alexa currently ranks India as the only notable source of traffic to BBC Global’s website (37%).

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…]

Tirus provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

Tirus’ website domain (“tirus.ltd”), was first registered in 2016. The private registration was last updated in August 2018.

Tirus’ official FaceBook group has one admin; Vladimir Potapov (right).

Potapov’s own FaceBook profile has no content prior to creation of Tirus’ FaceBook group in 2017.

This flags it as a potentially bogus profile.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, Tirus provides Swiss incorporation documents for Tirus GmbH.

There’s also a corresponding “banking account” document, purportedly providing details of an associated HypoVereinsbank account:

For the purpose of MLM due-diligence, these documents are meaningless. What they do provide us however is the name “Teterin Denis”.

Tirus marketing material cites Denis Teterin and Andrei Zeitsev as co-founders of the company.

Prior to Tirus, Andrei Zeitsev was slinging a Russian real-estate passive investment opportunity.

This appears to be the precursor to Tirus, which was launched on the same marketing pitch.

Earn money by participating in marketing. Become the owner of profitable real estate in Moscow.

Use ready-made tools from the company, invent anything new is not required.

Possibly due to language-barriers, I was unable to ascertain Andrei Zeitsev’s pre-Tirus history.

As per their respective FaceBook profiles, Teterin and Zeitsev are based out of Krasnoyarsk and Moscow.

As opposed to Switzerland (prior to that Tirus operated through a Hong Kong shell company), this would make Tirus a Russian MLM company.

This ties into the bulk of Tirus’ marketing being presented in Russian:

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…]

Doxy provides no credible information about who owns or runs the company on its website.

The “team” section of Doxy’s website is populated by fictional names represented by stock photos:

None of these people actually exist.

Doxy’s primary website domain (“doxy.ai”), was privately registered on December 2nd, 2021.

Perusal of Doxy’s website source-code reveals references to two additional Doxy related domains:

Doxy Finance focuses more on Doxy’s DOXY token:

Doxy Exch (Exchange?) is an attempt to associate Doxy with sports betting:

I’ve circled the “website access” link above, as it points to a non-existent app download:

The broken link isn’t of interest but it’s worth noting it is/was hosted on a .IN domain.

This suggests that whoever is actually running Doxy is doing so out of India. Or at the very least Doxy has ties to India.

The Doxy Finance and Doxy Exch domains were both privately registered around the time Doxy AI’s primary domain was registered.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, Doxy provides shell company incorporation certificates for Nigeria, the UK and the US.

There is no verification process attached to basic incorporation. Because of this, scammers routinely incorporate shell companies with bogus information.

For the purpose of MLM due-diligence, basic incorporation in any jurisdiction is meaningless.

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…]
