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

AlysDax’s website domain (“alysdax.com”) was first registered in October 2019. The registration details were last updated on February 2nd, 2020, through a German registrar.

AlysDax LTD is listed as the domain owner, through a bogus address in the UK.

Further research reveals a number of AlysDax promoters tying the company to Weenzee.

Weenzee was a Ponzi scheme launched in late 2018. The scam collapsed in in July 2019.

Weenzee was believed to be run by eastern European or Asian scammers, who primarily targeted investors in Brazil.

At the time of publication Alexa cites Brazil (25%), Vietnam (23%) and Japan (10%) as the top three sources of traffic to AlysDax’s website.

This could just be a configuration error, but an oddity I found was Spanish used for support on AlysDax’s default English-language website:

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…]

Daily Digital Club provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the business.

Daily Digital Club’s website domain (“dailydigitalclub.com”) was first registered in 2008.

Listed as the owner is Peter Wolfing of Multiplex Systems Inc.

Daily Digital Club’s domain registration was last updated on January 27th, 2020, which is likely when Wolfing acquired it.

Peter Wolfing (right) first appeared on BehindMLM’s radar back in 2012, as the admin of Turbo Cycler ($200-$1000 matrix-based Ponzi scheme).

Other MLM underbelly schemes launched by Wolfing over the years include Turbo Cycler (cash gifting), Ultimate Cycler (Ponzi cycler), Business Toolbox (chain-recruitment), Infinity 100 (cash gifting), National Wealth Center (cash gifting) and Pay Me Forward (cash gifting).

Despite being launched in 2013 and long-since collapsed, in 2016 Ultimate Cycler Ultimate was revived by Nigerian scammers. Wolfing redesigned the Ultimate Cycler website to cater to Nigerian affiliates and rode the wave.

In 2017 Wolfing launched Ueconomy, a short-lived cash gifting scheme. In 2018 Wolfing launched Hand of Heaven, a shameless religious themed gifting scam.

We last came across Wolfing last October with Direct Mail Pro, a five-tier pyramid scheme.

Alexa traffic estimates for Direct Mail Pro’s website suggest the scheme collapsed mid December 2019.

Daily Digital Club appears to have been launched on or around March 2019.

In addition to running Daily Digital Club, Wolfing is currently also promoting QuiAri.

Sometime over the last few days the SofTrade AI Ponzi scheme has collapsed.

From time to time I run a few searches to check up on our cast of characters.

Last night I came across an interesting search result. Turns out Montana served Nui a securities fraud cease and desist last September.

In hindsight, this goes a long way to explain Darren Olayan’s subsequent disappearance and the whole Appliqate debacle. [Continue reading…]

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

A May 2019 UK incorporation certificate is provided, which corresponds to “Bitles Limited”.

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

Bitles website domain (“bitles.eu”) was privately registered on April 11th, 2019.

At the time of publication Alexa cites Japan (24%), India (11%) and Vietnam (7%) as the top three sources of traffic to Bitles website.

GIG-OS is the latest chapter in the EmGoldex scam saga.

EmGoldex was a gold themed cycler Ponzi scheme that launched in 2014.

Following multiple regulatory investigations and fraud warnings (the US, Philippines, Malaysia, UAE), EmGoldex collapsed in mid 2015.

The company rebooted as Global InterGold shortly after the collapse, carrying on as if nothing happened.

In November 2015 Philippine authorities filed criminal charges against local ringleaders.

Since then Global InterGold fraud warnings have been issued by Curacao and Peru.

In February 2019 authorities in Sweden arrested Joseph Tran, a serial Ponzi scammer who dated back to the EmGoldex days.

Two months ago Global InterGold collapsed and was rebooted as GIG-OS.

GIG-OS (Global I Gold Online), has been set up as a bogus shell company in England.

Who owns and operates any of the EmGoldex companies has never been publicly disclosed. In our Global InterGold review, marketing footage suggested eastern Europeans were behind the scheme.

This is supported by the majority of EmGoldex/Global InterGold/GIG-OS marketing videos being natively recorded in Russian.
