OneLink Review: Simon Le’s OneCoin Ponzi points clone

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

OneLink’s website domain (“onelinknetwork.com”) was privately registered on March 5th, 2020.

For those following the OneCoin Ponzi saga, it’s an open secret that former OneLife “Captain” Simon Le is behind OneLink.

You can find Le on YouTube hosting OneLink marketing presentations:

Simon Le (actual name Le Quoc-Hung) is believed to have joined OneCoin at or around the company’s launch.

Le is primarily responsible for recruitment of OneCoin victims in Vietnam.

During OneCoin’s run Le was a prominent top earner in the company. After CEO Konstantin Ignatov’s arrest early last year, OneCoin all but came to a grinding halt.

What was left of OneCoin promoted Le to Captain of OneLife on or around December 2019.

Throughout December 2019, Le continued to solicit investment into OneCoin:

Although OneLink’s website domain wasn’t registered till March 2020, Le had to have begun planning his new business while still at OneCoin.

Le resigned as OneLife’s Captain in early April, roughly a month after he registered OneLink’s website domain.

Over the course of his six years promoting the Ponzi scheme, how much Le stole from OneCoin victims is unknown.

Le is believed to be hiding out in either Vietnam or Dubai, neither of which have an extradition treaty with the US.

IRS’ $429 million claim puts TelexFree victim payouts at risk

Although claim dispute filings continue to clog the TelexFree case docket, litigation between the Trustee and IRS is likely the reason no claim distributions have gone out.

We’ve known about the IRS’ claims against the Trustee for a while, but today is the first time we examine the case and what it potentially means for TelexFree victims. [Continue reading…]


VeloVita Review: “Fuel your brain” energy drink

VeloVita operate in the nutritional supplement MLM niche. The company is based out of Miami, Florida, however this isn’t disclosed on their website or social media pages.

Heading up VeloVita are co-founders Kosta Gara (CEO) and Jeff Mack (President).

Kosta Gara (right) appeared on BehindMLM’s radar last year, as iGalen’s Chief Executive Advisor.

At the time iGalen was being sued by its product supplier ATM Metabolics.

A settlement saw iGalen lose access to their flagship product, prompting its collapse in November.

Through Gara Group, Kosta Gara also provides development solutions to MLM companies.

Traffic to Gara Group’s website appears to have peaked while iGalen was operating. It has since declined.

We first came across Jeff Mack in 2012 as CEO of Vidacup. Vidacup ran for a few years before closing up shop.

I wasn’t able to pinpoint an exact date but I believe it was sometime between 2015 and 2016.

After Vidacup Mack (right) promoted himself as an “international network marketing expansion expert“.

 

Update 6th October 2022 – In recently researching another MLM opportunity, I’ve learned VeloVita is a LaCore Enterprises company.

I originally thought it might be a new development, owing to Velovita INC being a relatively new Texas company:

Corporate records from Florida however reveal Velovita was always a LaCore Enterprises company:

I double-checked and there’s no mention of LaCore Enterprises or owner Terry LaCore anywhere on Velovita’s website.

Being a LaCore Enterprises isn’t a negative for Velovita but not disclosing company ownership is.

LaCore Enterprises is based out of Texas and owns a number of MLM companies, all of which market products manufactured by LaCore Labs.

Root Review: Remedies with no retail

Root doesn’t provide any information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

I became aware of the MLM opportunity after CEO Clayton R Thomas reached out to me via email.

On his LinkedIn profile, Thomas cites himself as Root’s Chairman of the Board since July 2019. In marketing videos Thomas discloses he is Root’s Founder.

Why this executive information isn’t provided on Root’s website is unclear.

In addition to Root, Thomas (right) is also the President of Personalized Healthcare Solution, LLC, Unisource Health Inc and DC2.

As per PHS’ website, the company

connects healthcare providers with state-of-the-art diagnostic laboratories performing Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing, Toxicology and Wellness screens, and Molecular Testing.

Unisource Health and DC2 also operate in the medical niche.

As far as I can tell, Root is Clayton Thomas’ first MLM venture as an executive.

AlysDax Review: Weenzee Ponzi reboot?

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 Review: Peter Wolfing’s 2020 gifting scam

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.
