Jump to Health operates in the health and wellness MLM niche.

The company launched in late 2018 and is based out of New York in the US.

Heading up Jump to Health is founder and CEO Audrey Sommerfeld.

As per Sommerfeld’s Jump to Health corporate bio;

She began her career marketing and developing products for brands like Oil of Olay, Mylanta, Johnsons Baby, Neutrogena, and other notable products and companies.

She fell in love with Direct Sales at Herbalife where she worked on global product management in over 60 countries.

She then joined a start up at the time in ViSalus, helping drive growth with new products, new platforms, new tools and trainings, and more.

She and her team have come together to create Jump to Health.

Sommerfeld was hired by Visalus as Vice President of Marketing and Brand Development in 2007. According to her LinkedIn profile, she left the company in 2013.

After Visalus Sommerfeld worked in some non-MLM roles before launching Jump to Health.

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

BankCryptoInv’s website domain (“bankcryptoinv.com”) was privately registered on January 24th, 2020.

Despite not existing until this year, BankCryptoInv fraudulently claims to be ‘a professional cryptocurrency investment company since 2017.’

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…]

Purple Mining provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

Purple Mining’s website domain (“purplemining.ltd”) was privately registered on September 29th, 2020.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, Purple Mining provides a UK incorporation certificate for “Purple Mining LTD” on its website.

UK incorporation is dirt cheap and effectively unregulated. It is a favored jurisdiction for scammers looking to incorporate dodgy companies.

For the purpose of performing MLM due-diligence, UK incorporation is meaningless.

At the time of publication Alexa ranks the top three sources of traffic to Purple Mining’s website as Venezuela (20%), Russia (10%) and Mexico (7%).

By no means conclusive, the broken English on Purple Mining’s website sounds a bit Russian to me:

Very nice.

Arieyl is in a bit of a weird place right now. The company is being actively promoted but as of yet doesn’t have a webpage.

“Arieyl.com” appears to be registered but is currently being redirected to the company’s official Facebook page.

Heading up Arieyl are co-CEOs Kristen and Travis Butler:

The Butlers are based out of Florida in the US, which is presumably from where Arieyl will be operated.

Prior to founding Arieyl Kristen and Travis Butler made a name for themselves in My Daily Choice.

In March 2016, BusinessForHome pegged the Butlers’ estimated monthly My Daily Choice income at $537,000 a month.

In mid 2018 the Butler’s boasted they and their downline held ’36 of the top 125 spots in our company.’

In or around February 2019, the Butler’s had a My Daily Choice downline of ‘13,000 and (an) average 30-40 enrollments per month’.

Update 2nd December 2020 – After being online for most of 2020, a week after this post was published the Todd Falcone’s blog we’ve quoted from above was pulled offline.

I’ve left the quote intact but removed the link as at the time of this update. /end update

I found one of their downline boasting on Facebook about how the Butlers had made over four million dollars in My Daily Choice, as at October 2019.

In an Arieyl announcement video, Travis Butler discloses he and his wife made seven million dollars in MDC “in three years”.

The Butlers continued to promote MDC until around the end of the first quarter of 2020. I have been unable to find out why they left.

Promotion for Arieyl began earlier this month.

As it stands Arieyl is officially in pre-launch. A reader wrote in requesting a review and, seeing as Arieyl’s compensation plan has been made public, I figured I had enough to publish a review.
