TheCityUK-AI fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

TheCityUK-AI’s website domain (“thecityuku.vip”), was privately registered on March 11th, 2025.

HelpingHands Cash Review: MLM crypto gifting scheme

HelpingHands Cash fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

HelpingHands Cash operates from three known website domains:

  1. helpinghands.cash – registered in October 2023, private registration last updated on November 1st, 2024
  2. helpinghands10x.cash – privately registered on January 27th, 2025
  3. helpinghandsrewards.com – privately registered on March 3rd, 2025

Further research reveals HelpingHands Cash’s official Telegram channel is run by by “Will F”. This syncs with HelpingHands Cash marketing videos being hosted by Parmy William.

In one marketing video, Parmy William claims to be HelpingHands Cash’s “creator [and] co-founder”.

Note “Parmy William” may be an alias. I was unable to find anything further (this might tie into “Will F” on Telegram).

Beneleit Review: Pay to play + illegal medical claims

Beneleit is a “100% Mexican company” that operates in a number of MLM niches; nutritional supplements, cell service, food and gas.

Beneleit was founded back in 2013 and is headed up by “Director General” Daniel Escudero.

As per Escudero’s Beneleit corporate bio;

From an early age, Daniel Escudero was exposed to the world of network marketing thanks to his mother, Martha Sánchez, who introduced him to the industry when he was just 8 years old.

Inspired by his mother’s hard work and dedication, Daniel decided at 24 to follow in her footsteps and begin developing professionally in the network marketing field.

Throughout his career, Daniel worked in 14 different multilevel marketing companies. [Daniel] repeatedly encountered unfair and unethical practices.

His last experience was particularly unfortunate. Despite achieving significant growth, a broad network of partners, and a sizable check, the company never paid him the profits he had generated.

Shortly after, it disappeared without warning, leaving him in a critical financial situation.

It was in a moment of great need that Daniel made a pivotal decision. One afternoon, while his wife asked him to buy powdered milk for their baby, he went out in his car but stopped, overwhelmed by the situation.

With no money to buy the basics for his family, he burst into tears. In that instant, he summoned the courage and determination that would change his life: instead of pursuing a fifteenth multilevel marketing venture, he decided to create his own company

On my end, and this could just be language-barriers, I wasn’t able to verify Escudero’s claimed MLM history.

As per its website, Beneleit’s corporate address is in Puebla de Zaragoza, Mexico.

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