Affiliate Mentor fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

In fact as I write this, Affiliate Mentor’s website is nothing more than an affiliate log in page:

Affiliate Mentor’s website domain (“affiliatementor.com”), was first registered on July 12th, 2004. The private registration was last updated on May 28th, 2024.

Further research reveals Affiliate Mentor marketing videos narrated by J Joshua Beistle.

J. Joshua Beistle first appeared on BehindMLM in 2013, as President of the JubiRev Ponzi scheme.

Essentially a reload of the notorious Zeek Rewards Ponzi scheme, JubiRev collapsed a few months after launch.

Beistle returned in mid 2014 with BrandOnline365, a short-lived pyramid scheme.

In 2020 Beistle resurfaced with Doug Wellens as co-founders of Essential Access Network.

In 2022 Beistle and Wellens hid their ownership of Enigma Network by posing as the company’s “training team”.

Enigma Network collapsed a few months after launch and was rebooted as BFX Standard. Today BFX Standard’s website is still up but features Nvisionu branding.

Nvisionu is an IM Mastery Academy spinoff run by CEO David Imonitie. The exact nature of the relationship between what’s left of BFX Standard and Nvisionu is unclear.

From Affiliate Mentor’s “affiliate application & agreement”;

By executing the Affiliate Mentor Affiliate Agreement (“Agreement”), you apply for legal authorization to become a Affiliate Mentor business owner and enter into a contract with Streamlined Marketing Systems, Inc., the parent Company of its DBA – Affiliate Mentor.

Streamlined Marketing Systems Inc. gives us three more names to add to Affiliate Mentor;

Pass Up VIP Commissions

If an Affiliate Mentor only buys in at the Core tier but recruits someone who buys into the VIP tier, those cycler commissions “pass up” to the first upline affiliate who has bought into the VIP tier.

Affiliate Mentor’s Products

Affiliate mentor has no retailable products or services.

Affiliates are only able to market Affiliate Mentor affiliate membership itself.

Affiliate Mentor affiliate membership provides access to two products; Core and VIP.

Core appears to be paid website traffic that’s funneled into something called “ClickCash”.

VIP is $297 annually and “instantly unlocks up to $2500 in free traffic”.

Affiliate Mentor’s Compensation Plan

Affiliate Mentor pays commissions on recruitment of affiliates who purchase its Core and/or VIP product tiers.

Core Commissions

Affiliate Mentor pays a $20 commission on personally recruited affiliates who sign up for the $49.95 a month Core tier.

Core tier is also available on an annual basis (cost unknown), on which a $200 commission is paid.

VIP Commissions

Purchase of Affiliate Mentor’s $297 VIP membership tier provides access to a 2×2 matrix cycler.

A 2×2 matrix places an affiliate at the top of a matrix, with two positions directly under them:

These two positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting these first two positions into another two positions each (4 positions).

Positions in the matrix are filled via $297 VIP position purchases by directly and indirectly recruited affiliates.

Once all commissions in the matrix are filled a $500 cycle commission is paid out.

A $250 matching commission is also paid to the affiliate who recruited the affiliate earning the $500 cycle commission.

Upon cycling and triggering a $500 cycle commission, a VIP position enters a new 2×2 matrix and the process of filling the matrix begins again.

Joining Affiliate Mentor

Affiliate Mentor affiliate membership is either $49.50 a month for the Core tier and/or $297 annually for the VIP tier.

The more an Affiliate Mentor affiliate spends on membership the higher their income potential.

Affiliate Mentor Conclusion

Affiliate Mentor combines pyramid recruitment with a cycler Ponzi model.

Affiliate Mentor’s Core and VIP tiers pay on recruitment of affiliates who buy into said tiers. Nothing is marketed or sold to retail customers, making both tiers a pyramid scheme.

Affiliate Mentor enters Ponzi scheme territory through its VIP tier cycler. $295 in and then a return is generated and paid out of subsequent $295 investments.

The VIP tier ROI is paid out as long as new investments are still coming in.

Attached to Affiliate Mentor’s Core and VIP tiers are paid traffic packages. The idea being paid traffic is directed to Affiliate Mentor’s marketing funnel, creating closed-loop pyramid scheme.

While Affiliate Mentor’s traffic packages are self-serving (without constant recruitment Affiliate Mentor collapses), the packages could be substitutes out for any other product or service. It’s the income opportunity that Affiliate Mentor and its affiliate promoters are selling.

As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.

This will see matrices within Affiliate Mentor’s cycler begin to stall. Once enough matrices have stalled, an irreversible collapse is triggered.

Being a cycler Ponzi, primary beneficiaries of Affiliate Mentor are those running it. This takes place through one or more preloaded admin positions.

These admin positions cycle through first, and maintain that momentum through passups and being placed on active matrices. Eventually, everybody else winds up stuck on a stalled matrix.

The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.

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

MetaAIBox’s website domain (“metaaibox.com”), was privately registered on May 3rd, 2024.

If we look at MetaAIBox’s website source-code we find a reference to GIG Dece:

GIG Dece is an MLM pump and dump token scam fronted by fictional executives.

It appears the same scammers behind GIG Dece are also behind MetaAIBox.

Over on MetaAIBox’s official YouTube channel we find “Harley Fleming”. Fleming claims to be MetaAIBox’s owner.

Fleming doesn’t exist outside of MetaAIBox’s one marketing video, making him a prime Boris CEO candidate.

The actor playing Fleming has an eastern-European accent. This tracks with the majority of Boris CEO schemes being run by Russian and/or Ukrainian scammers.

Update 10th February 2025 – A reader in the comments below has provided us with a lead on “Igor”, the actor playing Fleming (click to enlarge):

When he’s not fronting MLM Ponzi schemes, Igor teaches English and German through Skyeng, an online school based out of Russia. /end update

In an attempt to appear legitimate, MetaAIBox provides a corporate address in New Zealand on its website. The address appears to be random and doesn’t have anything to do with MetaAIBox.

Prime University fails to provide ownership or executive details on its website.

In fact Prime University explicitly hides information about itself, having disabled its website domain:

It goes without saying that any MLM company that engages in this practice is likely doing so to cover up fraud of some sort.

To access Prime University, promoters and potential recruits have to visit two subdomains; “hub.prime-university.com” and backoffice.prime-university.com”.

Both subdomains act as log-in gateways for Prime University affiliates.

For reference, Prime University’s “prime-university.com” website domain was privately registerd on May 2nd, 2024.

CoopC, aka CUIR (cooperative universal income replacement), fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

CoopC’s website domain (“coopc.com”), was first registered in August 2013. The private registration was last updated on December 19th, 2022.

Further research reveals David Rosen promoting CoopC on social media:

Rosen, a Canadian resident, first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar in 2015, as founder of the PIE 24/7 pyramid scheme.

In early 2018 Rosen launched Cooperative Crowdfunding, a matrix-based gifting scheme. This was followed by 50/50 Crowdfunding in late 2018.

In late 2019 Rosen rebooted 50/50 Crowdfunding as CoopCrowd.

After the first iteration of CoopCrowd collapsed, Rosen launched Coop5050 in late 2020.

Coop5050 began to collapse in late 2021, prompting Rosen to announce a CoopCrowd reboot.

CoopCrowd 2022 launched in early 2022 and collapsed mid-year.

In early 2023, Rosen launched CoopBusiness, a 3×10 matrix based pyramid scheme.

CoopBusiness lasted a few months, prompting Rosen to launch Coop20 in August.

Coop20 collapsed after a few months and was rebooted as CoopInc for 2024.

Today CoopInc’s website is no longer accessible, confirming it collapsed sometime in 2024.

Towards the end of 2024, Rosen began promoting CoopC for 2025.
