BitcoLoan Ponzi collapses, withdrawals disabled
The BitcoLoan Ponzi scheme has collapsed.
The following is a testimonial left on TrustPilot, by a BitcoLoan affiliate purportedly from Russia;
Everything worked until July, the platform paid regularly. But for almost 3 weeks now there is no way to withdraw funds, the withdrawal simply does not work and no specific information.
At first they said wait 5-7 days, then they just began to write the standard “stay tuned for news”.
Three weeks would put us on or around July 7th. [Continue reading…]
Mfinity Global Review: Bulavita reboot comes up short
Mfinity Global follows the collapse of Bulavita last month.
Bulavita emerged after LaCore Enterprises bought Wakaya Perfection in late 2019.
Under LaCore Enterprises nothing much happened with Bulavita. Then in April 2021 Bulavita entered into a partnership with Juuva.
Two months later Bulavita cut ties with Juuva. Mfinity Global is a relaunch of what’s left.
Mfinity Global provides no information about who owns or runs the company on its website.
From the marketing announcement last month though, we know Todd Smith and Bill Andreoli are running the company.
Corporate transparency has been an ongoing issue with Mfinity Global, dating back to Wakaya Perfection and David Gilmour.
Nothing about whatever deal with LaCore Enterprises was ever disclosed. Things didn’t get any better with Juuva and now here we are.
Whether there are any silent ownership partners in Mfinity Global is unclear. The company’s public transparency remains an issue.
Read on for a full review of Mfinity Global’s MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]
Liv Labs Review: LaCore Enterprises’ CBD MLM opp
I came across Liv Labs as part of my research into UR Worth It, a recently launched LaCore Enterprises MLM opp.
Specifically I was checking the status of some of LaCore Enterprises’ launches. At the time I noted a visit to LifoCity’s website now redirected to Liv Labs.
On LinkedIn LifoCity CEO Doug Braun cites his tenure coming to an end in May 2021.
The last post on LifoCity’s official Facebook page is dated January 8th.
Liv Labs was launched in August 2018 by co-founders David and Debbie Reeder.
David and Debbie Reader serve as Liv Labs’ CEO and President respectively.
Liv Labs LLC was incorporated in August 2018. LaCore Enterprises owner Terry LaCore is the sole Director of the company.
A domain dispute filed in October 2017 provides some more information;
Meridian International, LLC (“Meridian”), which does business as LIV Labs … was formed in 2015.
In July 2017, it began “pre-selling” products under the LIV mark, entering into an agreement with a supplier.
LaCore Enterprises owns “a majority interest” in Meridian International. It follows they’d also be the supplier named above.
On its website Liv Labs provides LaCore Enterprises corporate address in Texas. The only other reference to LaCore is LaCore Nutraceuticals on LivLabs’ product sheets.
David and Debbie Reeder were top earners in Vemma. The couple were cited as “top 10 earners” in the company as of July 2015.
The next month the FTC shut down Vemma, alleging it to be a $200 million dollar pyramid scheme.
Vemma settled the charges in December 2016. As part of the settlement Vemma agreed to stop running a pyramid scheme.

Authorities in Kyrgyzstan have arresed several local promoters of the collapsed Finiko Ponzi scheme.

WeWe Global Review: WEWEX Ponzi points scheme
I was disappointed to learn WeWe Global wasn’t a nod to urine aficionados around the world.
Instead the company’s name is an acronym for “World Enhanced Wealth Ecosystem Global”. I much prefer WeWe Global though so we’ll stick with that.
WeWe Global provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
WeWe Global’s website domain (“wewe.global”) was registered in January 2020.
The owner of the domain is “DigiTech Service LTD”, through an incomplete address in the British Virgin Islands.
In the FAQ section of WeWe Global’s website, the company claims it is owned by “WEWE-DAO and company “DIGITECH SERVICES LTD” BVI”.
The British Virgin Islands is a scam-friendly jurisdiction with no active regulation of MLM related fraud.
For this reason you should avoid any MLM company incorporated or representing it is incorporated there.
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…]
Team Travel MVP Review: Discount sports team travel?
Team Travel MVP provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
Team Travel MVP’s website domain (“teamtravelmvp.com”) was initially registered in March 2019.
The private registration was last updated on March 10th, 2021.
Further research reveals Tony Verran citing himself as CEO of Team Travel MVP on LinkedIn.
According to his profile, Verran is based out of California. This syncs with a corporate suite address in California provided on Team Travel MVP’s website.
Verran’s LinkedIn profile cites him as CEO of Team Travel MVP since July 2016.
I believe Team Travel MVP is a reboot of My Dream Sports Biz, a collapsed MLM company launched on or around 2011.
Affiliate marketing copy credits Verran as the creator and CEO of My Dream Sports Biz.
I wasn’t able to ascertain whether Verran had any other MLM experience. Why his corporate bio isn’t provided on Team Travel MVP’s website is unclear.
Read on for a full review of Team Travel MVP’s MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]
