People around the world have donated towards the developing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.

Most donate out of a genuine desire to help those in need.

Others, like GSPartners and owner Josip Heit, see it as a marketing opportunity. This led to clashes with donation organizers in Germany. [Continue reading…]

Full Velocity provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the company.

Full Velocity’s website domain (“fullvelocity.trade”), was privately registered on December 31st, 2021.

Further research reveals James Ward appearing in Full Velocity marketing videos as CEO:

James Ward (right) first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar in 2010, as the CEO of LGN Prosperity.

LGN Prosperity marketed travel vouchers, with each voucher generating a position in a matrix 2×2 cycler.

Following months of affiliates not getting paid, in mid 2011 LGN Prosperity morphed into LGN International.

This name-change brought on the addition of commissions paid on travel services booked through LGN.

LGN International eventually collapsed in mid to late 2013, with Ward heading up iBizWave as CEO and co-founder in early 2014.

In 2015 Ward launched 2SL Start Living, which saw him return to the travel MLM niche.

2SL Start Living was short-lived, prompting Ward to launch Pangea in 2016.

Pangea’s original business model was a matrix cycler hiding behind travel.

By early 2017 Pangea had collapsed. Ward rebooted Pangea with a new compensation plan.

The only material difference was the cycler expanded to three tiers, so it’s not surprising that Pangea 2.0 also didn’t last long.

In late 2019 Ward resurfaced with Sports Trading BTC, a crypto Ponzi scheme.

Sports Trading BTC collapsed by December 2019, prompting Ward to reboot the scheme as Global Credits Network.

As per website traffic charts provided by Alexa, Global Credits Network collapsed in or around April 2020.

In late June 2020 Ward launched his first smart-contract Ponzi scheme, Lion’s Share.

Lion’s Share collapsed by early 2021, prompting Ward to launch Apex Financial April 2021.

Apex Financial was a joint-venture with Hitesh Juneja and Jason Rose. The scheme saw affiliates invest in AFT tokens, on the promise of up to 0.85% paid daily for 360 weekdays.

Apex Financial’s website is still up. Alexa traffic estimates to its website however reveal a collapse throughout late 2021.

There appears to have been an attempt to reboot Lion’s Share as “Lion’s Share Velocity” mid 2021. Whatever that was it flopped so fast we missed it.

In any event, all of that brings us to Full Velocity’s launch last month.

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

In fact, as I write this, Experts Moment’s public-facing website is nothing more than a login form.

Experts Moment’s website default to Spanish. This suggests that whoever is running Experts Moments is fluent in Spanish.

Further research reveals Experts Moment marketing videos citing “monroy” as CEO of the company:

“Monroy” is Enrique Monroy:

Monroy doesn’t appear to have an MLM history. On FaceBook he pitches himself as a politician from Mexico.

Evidently Monroy’s political career didn’t pan out, so here we are with Experts Moment.

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…]

Turbo, also marketed as “We Are Turbo”, fails to provide company ownership information on its website.

Turbo’s website domain (“weareturbo.io”), was first registered in 2020. The private registration was last updated on December 8th, 2021.

Turbo’s website defaults to Spanish. The company’s marketing material is also all in Spanish.

Further research reveals Turbo marketing material citing David Merino as founder and CEO of the company.

Why this information isn’t provided on Turbo’s website is unclear.

Prior to Turbo David Merino headed up Frequency as CEO:

Frequency was a trading bot MLM scheme. It appears to have collapsed on or around January 2021. This coincides with Turbo’s initial domain registration on December 8th, 2020.

Read on for a full review of Turbo’s MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]

MCAM stands for “Moneda Crypto Asset Management”. Get MCAM is an MLM company created to market Moneda tokens.

On its website Get MCAM provides no information about who’s behind Get MCAM or Moneda.

Get MCAM’s website domain (“getmcam.com”), was privately registered on November 20th, 2021.

In an attempt to hide who’s running Get MCAM, this guy has been hired to shoot multiple <30 second promo clips:

Get MCAM makes a big deal about the actor having a US accent.

Other Fivver style actors have also been used. “Din (Dean?) from California” is a particularly amusing example.

The grammar in the scripts used strongly suggests whoever paid for these videos isn’t a native English speaker.

The first hint at who’s behind Get MCAM was this Indian Independence Day video, uploaded on January 26th:

On February 11th, Get MCAM uploaded a “blockchain summit” video.

The video features the company’s Indian admins. Whether these are also the owner(s) of the company is unclear.

What we learn from this is Get MCAM is being run by Indians, primarily targeting an Indian audience.

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…]
