Bellame was founded in 2016 and operates in the personal care MLM niche.

Bellame appears to be based out of California, although the company provides a virtual mailbox address on its website.

Heading up Bellame are co-founders Melissa and Scott Thompson (right).

According to a March 2017 press-release, the Thompsons have ‘45 years of combined expertise in the beauty and digital marketing‘ industries.

According to her LinkedIn profile, started her MLM career with Avon in 1999.

In 2007 she switched over to Belcorp and was with them for ten months.

Thompson left the personal care MLM niche in 2000. She joined Shaklee, a nutritional supplement opportunity, and promoted them for almost three years.

In late 2010 Thompson returned to the personal care MLM niche and Avon.

She remained an Avon distributor until July 2014, wherein she joined Mana.

In 2015 Thompson signed up with Stella and Dot. In 2016 Thompson changed gears again and worked as Chief Marketing Officer for Astoria Company.

Scott Thompson founded Astoria Company in 2010. He runs the lead generation marketing company as CEO.

That brings us to the launch of Bellame in December, 2017.

Sacuwa provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The Sacuwa website domain (“sacuwa.com”) was privately registered on May 16th, 2019.

At the time of publication Alexa cites Vietnam as the only significant source of traffic to Sacuwa’s website (39%).

This isn’t enough to suggest Sacuwa is based out of Vietnam, but does demonstrate where the majority of promotion is taking place.

Vietnam has emerged as a hotbed for cryptocurrency fraud over the past few years.

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…]

Terbium7 provides no information about who owns or runs the company on their website.

Terbium7’s website domain (“terbium7.com”) was privately registered on April 21st, 2019.

One thing I have to point out is Terbium7’s web-design is remarkably similar to the 2017 Laser Online Ponzi scheme.

Could just be the same designer but I feel Terbium7’s web design is suspiciously too similar to be a coincidence.

Elite Fin FX (also goes by Elite Finance Forex), provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the business.

The company does provide a UK incorporation certificate, which corresponds with Elite Finance Forex Limited.

Elite Finance Forex Limited was incorporated in the UK on July 31st, 2018.

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

Elite Fin FX’s website domain (“elitefinfx.com”) was privately registered on July 6th, 2018.

At the time of publication, Alexa cites Nigeria, Venezuela and India as top sources of traffic to Elite Fin FX’s website.

B3 Sciences operates in the health and fitness MLM niche.

The company represents it is based out of Texas. The corporate address provided on B3 Sciences’ website however is a virtual address provided by Davinci Virtual.

Heading up B3 Sciences is Founder and CEO Mike DeBord (right).

As per DeBord’s B3 Sciences’ corporate bio;

At the age of 52, my physical health had taken a turn.

I had reached a point where I could no longer work out and keep the physique I was so proud of.

Then it happened. I was introduced to BFR training and B Strong by my friend Dr. Jim Stray-Gundersen. B Strong changed my life and allowed me to work out again and get my muscular physique back.

I was so proud and excited for my results. I quickly became even more excited about how many people I could help, and the idea for B3 was born.

I decided to combine my knowledge of health and fitness products, with B3 Bands, to launch a company that would change health and fitness forever!

In addition to B3 Sciences, a much younger looking Mike DeBord is also presented as NuVerus’ Chief Operating Officer.

As per DeBord’s NuVerus corporate bio, he

joined his first Network Marketing Company in 1996 and he quickly became a top earner in the industry.

He was earning more in 18 months in his Network Marketing Business than he was as a Doctor treating 50 patients a day.

His success allowed him to retire from being a physician. For the last 10 years he has lived and exciting life of a Network Marketing Millionaire.

DeBord’s LinkedIn profile suggests B3 Sciences launched on or around April 2018.

Neither NuVerus or any other MLM opportunities are featured on DeBord’s LinkedIn profile.
