AI Advisor Review: Quantitative trading “click a button” Ponzi
AI Advisor fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
AI Advisor’s website domain (“aiadvisor.cc”), was registered with bogus details on March 14th, 2025.
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…]
Court denies Brian Early’s Fundsz “affidavit of truth”
In his latest bid to keep money he stole through Fundsz, Brian Early filed an “affidavit of truth” on March 3rd.
Affidavits of truth are typically associated with sovereign citizens. They play into the fantasy that sovereign citizen nutjobs are above the law.
In his affidavit of truth demands, Early claimed the Florida court hearing the Fundsz case lacked jurisdiction over him. [Continue reading…]
TrustPoly Review: MLM crypto cycler Ponzi
TrustPoly, aka Trust, fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
TrustPoly’s website domain (“trustpoly.com”), was privately registered on January 17th, 2025.
On January 28th, Fundsz scammer Brian Early began promoting TrustPoly on social media:
TrustPoly would go on to launch on or around February 14th.
Early, who’s originally from Louisiana but has since fled to Costa Rice, is a serial promoter of scams.
In addition to Fundsz, a collapsed MLM crypto Ponzi Early was co-owner of, Early was recently promoting RideBNB 2.0, a reboot of the collapsed RideBNB Ponzi, and GivBux, an MLM pyramid scheme.
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…]
Epic Slim Review: Weight loss coffee + collagen BEpic spinoff
Epic Slim fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
In fact as I write this, Epic Slim’s website, hosted on the domain “epicslim.com”, refuses access without a “sponsor username”:
If we click on the “login” link however, it’s revealed Epic Slim’s backoffice is “powered by BEpic Worldwide LLC”:
BEpic is an MLM company run by Dan Putnam.
Looking like the love child of Guy Fieri and serial MLM fraudster Jan Gregory, Putnam’s involvement in Epic Slim is further confirmed by his appearance in recent marketing videos:
The SEC sued Putnam and partner Angel Rodriguez for securities fraud in 2020.
Through various scams, the SEC alleges Putnam and Rodriguez defrauded consumers out of at least $12 million.
Putnam settled the SEC’s Ponzi fraud charges in January 2023. In September 2024 Putnam’s judgment topped $5.66 million.
Outside of Putnam’s SEC fraud charges;
- in August 2023 BehindMLM documented Flex, an AI spam grift attached to BEpic
- in March 2024 BehindMLM documented Aiscend, a “hands free” unregistered trading opportunity attached to BEpic
- in October 2024 BehindMLM documented Avasar, a BEpic spinoff unregistered investment scheme pitching $250 shares in Amazon stores on the promise of “monthly returns”
Also worth noting is Putnam partnering up with Travis Martin and JC Martinez to launch Against All Odds in 2022.
Against All Odds’ website is still up but it’s assumed to have collapsed after Martin was arrested on child sex charges back in January.
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…]
HAHM Review: Social media “click a button” app Ponzi
HAHM fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on any of its websites.
HAHM operates from three known website domains:
- hahm.cc – privately registered on December 12th, 2023
- hahm.world – privately registered on December 22nd, 2023
- hahm.us – registered with bogus details on January 19th, 2024
On its .WORLD website, HAHM provides a list of executives who don’t exist:
HAHM’s fictional executives appear to be represented by stolen profile photos.
In an attempt to appear legitimate, HAHM provides an unrelated New York company certificate for HAHM Partners Group INC.
As to who’s actually running HAHM, a visit to HAHM’s support page reveals it runs on the MEIQIA platform:
Meiqia is a Chinese software company based out of Beijing. This suggests whoever is running HAHM 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…]
Golden Tech Consulting Review: MLM crypto pyramid
Golden Tech Consulting fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
Golden Tech Consulting’s website domain (“goldentechconsulting.com”), was privately registered on September 12th, 2024.
In an attempt to appear legitimate, Golden Tech Consulting provides details for Golden Tech Consulting LLC on its website. Golden Tech Consulting is represented to be a Delaware shell company.
The provided corporate address for Golden Tech Consulting appears to belong to a company providing virtual mailing address in Delaware.
As of February 2025, SimilarWeb was tracking 95% of Golden Tech Consulting’s website traffic from India.
As opposed to the US, this suggests whoever is running Golden Tech Consulting is from India, or at the very least has ties to India.
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…]
Legacy Builders 2.0: Michelle Oneil reboots collapsed scam
Legacy Builders is an illegal gifting scheme launched in 2024. Founder Michelle Oneil created the scam under her Digital Growth Community branding.
Oneil launched Legacy Builders following the collapse of Infinity Processing System, a prior illegal gifting scheme Oneil promoted.
Legacy Builders recruitment peaked around mid 2024. Either towards the end of 2024 or by early 2025, Legacy Builders recruitment had inevitably collapsed.
About a week ago Oneil, who personally claims to have misappropriated “over $5 million” through illegal gifting schemes, announced Legacy Builders 2.0.
