O’Snap operates in the nutritional supplements MLM niche. The company claims it was founded in 2020.

Contradicting this is

• O’Snap’s website domain registration being last updated in February 2021;
• O’Snap’s official Facebook page being created on March 1st, 2021; and
• O’Snap holding a launch event on May 8th, 2021.

Not sure what the story is there.

Heading up O’Snap are John and Najlah Malott. The pair are working with LaCore Nutraceuticals.

O’Snap’s website Terms and Conditions references

O’SNAP ACTIVE LIFESTYLE, INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Texas.

Corporate records reveal Terry LaCore (right) is the sole Director of the company.

From this we surmise O’Snap is owned by Terry LaCore and LaCore Enterprises.

This syncs with O’Snap providing LaCore Enterprises’ corporate address on their website.

LaCore Enterprises has become somewhat of an MLM factory over the past years, launching opportunity after opportunity.

LaCore Enterprises MLM companies BehindMLM has reviewed since 2018 include:

• Uforia Science
• Bulavita (sold off to Juuva in early 2021)
• NutriCellix (collapsed mid 2020)
• Lifocity (merged with Liv Labs in early to mid 2021)
• Perfectly Posh
• UR Worth It

John Malott started off his MLM career in Prepaid Legal. I wasn’t able to pin down an exact date, but Malott appears to have left PrePaid Legal around the time it changed its name to Legal Shield.

In 2011 Malott and then wife Tiffaney joined Seacret Direct. In 2013 the couple were credited as Seacret Direct’s first Crown Agents.

Somewhere between 2013 and 2017 John and Tiffaney divorced. John met Najlah in 2017 and married mid last year.

Circa early 2019 John and Najlah (right) signed on as a Uforia Science affiliates.

Uforia Science went through some leadership turmoil in late 2020, prompting Malott to announce he would be launching his own MLM company.

We believe Uforia is a fantastic company. Terry LaCore, the majority owner of the Uforia company, is a close friend.

And he is also now a business partner of ours. You guys can stay tuned because we are gonna be launching a brand new company with Mr. Terry LaCore.

That brings us to the launch of O’Snap earlier this year.

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

Turbo Crypto’s website domain (“turbocrypto.biz”) was privately registered on June 23rd, 2021.

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…]

Royal Returns provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the company.

A recent post on Royal Returns’ official Facebook page claims “Massimo Martella” is CEO of the company.

Massimo Martella is an actor from the UK:

Notice Royal Returns have taken the circled headshot above, and photoshopped onto a suite and tie template for their marketing material.

Supposedly Martella spoke at a Royal Returns event on July 11th. I haven’t seen any footage of this event, nor does Martella appear in any of Royal Returns’ marketing material to date.

What should be obvious is, as CEO or otherwise, Martella isn’t running Royal Returns.

In a further attempt to appear legitimate, Royal Returns represents it is incorporated in Ireland.

From both basic incorporation and securities regulation, the UK is a scam-friendly jurisdiction.

Royal Returns’ social media posts provide insight into where the company is actually based:

At the time of publication Alexa estimates 51% of traffic to Royal Returns website originates out of Sri Lanka.

VR Tron500 provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

VR Tron500’s website domain (“vrtron500.io”) was privately registered on April 1st, 2021.

Further research reveals this guy appearing in official VR Tron500 marketing videos:

I wasn’t able to identify this individual (language-barriers), but he appears to be based out of India.

This is supported by the majority of VR Tron500 marketing being pitched at Indians.

VR Tron500 marketing material also references “sarees” (ex. right).

Sarees are women’s clothing typically associated with the Indian subcontinent.

Finally we have Alexa traffic estimates, which peg visitors to VR Tron’s website coming from India (66%) and Iran (35%).

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…]
