Be Review: Melius rebooted as subscription pyramid
Be marketing began in late May, early June 2020. The company is a reboot of Melius.
Melius launched in late 2018, on the idiotic premise of giving out $50,000 real money trading accounts for $3000.
The company was publicly headed up by CEO and co-founder Jeremy Prasetyo.
Initially Melius’ other co-founders weren’t publicly acknowledged on the company’s website.
The main reason for that is because Melius’ other co-founders were Monir and Moyn Islam.
The Islam brothers made a name for themselves scamming people out of millions in OneCoin.
Originally from the UK, most of the Islam brother’s victims were ethnic minorities. As OneCoin began to collapse the brothers fled to Dubai.
Although not an outwardly obvious Ponzi scheme like OneCoin, Melius shared the scheme’s securities fraud roots.
Melius appears to have begun collapsing in late December 2019.
Be’s website domain (“befactor.com”) was acquired on March 26th, 2020. Promotion of Be began in mid to late May.
Melius’ website and social media profiles have since been deleted.
Be’s website cites Moyn Islam (President and CEO), Monir Islam (CVO) and Ehsaan B. Islam (CTO) as co-founders of the company.
