A marketing video on My Passive Trades’ website features Darren Bradbury, who claims to be “one of the joint owners of Polaris Universal”.

Darren Bradbury first appeared on BehindMLM as co-owner of the Powerhouse Feeder Ponzi scheme.

Other scams Bradbury has promoted over the years include  My 24 Hour Income (collapsed Ponzi scheme), Leased Ad Space (cash gifting), GiftoBit (cash gifting), ZarFund (cash gifting), Stiforp (pyramid scheme) and My Ad Story (Ponzi scheme).

More recently Bradbury has been promoting cryptocurrency scams. oncluding Powerhouse RevShare (Ponzi) and Powerhouse Mining (Ponzi).

Over the past year Bradbury has been trying to get Chatabox off the ground.

We will share 60% of all the profits of chatabox … very simply you just receive ehtereum for on auto pilot.

Chatabox is yet another cryptocurrency token Ponzi scheme.

My Passive Trades website domain uses Chatabox’s website domain name-servers.

On Twitter Bradbury goes by “Darren Riviera” and cites his location as the UK.

According to the “company” section of My Passive Trade’s website, ‘my passive trades is a trading name of Polaris Universal LTD‘.

Polaris Universal LTD was incorporated in the UK on January 25th, 2018.

Ahmed Nabil El Amrani, Lidija Ikasovic, Eldon Conceicao and Darren Bradbury are listed as company officers.

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

S Block operates in the cryptocurrency MLM niche.

The company represents it is based out Singapore and headed up by President Ivan Bolonikhin.

On his LinkedIn profile, Bolonikhin (right) claims to be a “digital securities expert”.

Note that while Bolonikhin’s LinkedIn profile cites his location as Singapore, his personal Facebook profile reveals he lives in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Bolonikhin’s Instagram profile reveals he only traveled to Singapore earlier this month.

Prior to reinventing himself as a digital securities expert, Bolonikhin appears to have been employed in the hospitality industry.

To be specific, Bolonikhin was baking cupcakes in a Ukrainian cake shop.

As far as I can tell Bolonikhin has no prior MLM executive experience.

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

The Mailbox Profits website domain (“mailboxprofits.com”) was first registered in 2014.

The domain registration was last updated on April 30th, 2019, suggesting this is when the current owner(s) took possession of it.

Mailbox Profits’ domain registration is private, revealing no information about ownership.

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…]

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

The Weenzee website domain (“weenzee.com”) was registered on August 15th, 2018.

Mareks Pavlovskis is the registered owner, through a virtual office address in London, the UK.

Other than appearing on Weenzee’s meaningless UK incorporation records, there is no external connection between Pavlovskis and Weenzee.

Whether Mareks Pavlovskis actually exists is unclear.

Perusal of Weenzee’s YouTube channel reveals the company initially marketed itself across Asia.

Today Wenzee’s top sources of website traffic are Brazil (27%), Iran (13%) and India (4%).

A video titled “Weenzee Grand Opening” on the company’s official YouTube channel, purportedly shows a ceremony held in Berlin, Germany.

This perhaps coincides with Weenzee using a German registrar to register their website domain name.

Weenzee’s “grand opening” video prominently features individuals with strong European accents.

From this one can surmise whoever is running Weenzee is likely based out of central or eastern Europe.

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…]

If you visit Club Cash Fund’s website without an affiliate referral link, you’re blocked from actually accessing the site.

If you visit through a referral link, you’re presented with a capture page that asks for your name and email address.

Club Cash Fund’s website reveals nothing about its business model or owner.

Club Cash Fund’s website domain (“clubcashfund.com”) was privately registered on October 26th, 2018.

Club Cash Fund itself however doesn’t appear to have launched until early last month.

Further research reveals a flyer hosted on Club Cash Fund’s website domain, identifying John (Chad) Stalvey as founder of the company.

John Stalvey, who also goes by Chad Stalvey, has appeared on BehindMLM in conjunction with a number of suspect schemes.

Stalvey (right) first popped up on our radar in conjunction with GiveOpp and Numis Network in 2010.

In 2014 Stalvey resurfaced with Infinite Leverage System, which he ran through Streamlined Marketing Systems.

By 2015 Infinite Leverage Systems had collapsed, prompting a reboot launch with Traffic Authority.

Traffic Authority lasted longer then its predecessor but by 2017 was in decline.

In 2018 Traffic Authority was abandoned and rebooted as Finish Line Network.

Finish Line Network collapsed in late December 2018.

That brings us to the recent launch of Club Cash Fund, which for some reason Stalvey doesn’t want to publicly put his name on.

AliveMax operates in the nutritional and personal care MLM niches.

The company doesn’t provide a corporate address on its website, but AliveMax’s Policies and Procedures states

The law of the State of California, U.S.A. shall govern all other matters relating to or arising from the Agreement.

Heading up AliveMax is founder and CEO, Nauder Khazan (right).

Khazan first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar in 2011, as founder and CEO of Stiforp.

Stiforp combined useless marketing with pyramid recruitment. The company website is still up today although the status of the business is unknown (the website is just a login page).

More recently Khazan emerged as a co-owner of Globallee, a recently launched nutritional supplement MLM opportunity.

Khazan’s role in Globallee doesn’t appear to have imposed on the running of AliveMax.
