30 Day Success Formula bumps gifting fraud payments to $27,500

Things are getting desperate over at 30 Day Success Formula. Since our review just shy of three weeks ago, the company has introduced a new $27,500 gifting tier.

30 Day Success Formula affiliates have also been banned from making those cringey “cash in the mail” videos.

No matter how you cut it though, 30 Day Success Formula is still an illegal cash gifting scheme. [Continue reading…]


Weeconomy Review: Flexkom rebooted with crypto investment fraud

Weeconomy began as Flexkom, a pay to play pyramid scheme masquerading as an ecommerce platform.

Flexkom collapsed on or around late 2016. Today the former Flexkom website domain redirects to something called “MPM Group AG”.

Flexkom is believed to have scammed upwards of 40,000 affiliate investors, most of which were in Turkey.

Around the time of Flexkom’s collapse in late 2016, Wee Business Economy was launched.

Weeconomy (aka Wee and Wee Business Economy), is headed up by Flexkom owner Cengiz Ehliz (right).

For all intents and purposes, Weeconomy is a rebranding and continuation of the Flexkom scam.

Eaconomy Review: Silverstar Live reboot without convicted fraudster

Eaconomy surfaced three or four weeks ago under “Global Takeover” prelaunch branding.

After a cringey “we won’t tell you the company name but plz sign up anyway” period, Eaconomy was revealed about a week ago.

Heading up Eaconomy is President Hassan Mahmoud.

Mahmoud (right) first appeared on BehindMLM back in January, as co-owner of Silverstar Live.

Silverstar Live was a short-lived MLM company, offering unregistered securities under the guise of automated forex bot trading.

I’ve been loosely tracking SilverStar Live’s collapse. Apparently as it was collapsing there was a fallout between Mahmoud and his wife, and convicted fraudster David Mayer.

At some point SilverStar Live was renamed AI Global, and then again to Ai Expert Advisor.

There’s no information about who’s running AI Expert Advisor on its website, but presumably it’s still Mayer.

Bear in mind there’s not much of a company left, with Alexa pegging AI Expert Advisor with a 2.5 million rank (good as dead for an MLM company).

After splitting with Mayer, Mahmoud seems to have taken what he collected and launched his own opportunity.

Mahmoud’s wife, Candace, joined him as co-owner of SilverStar Live.

There’s no mention of her on the Eaconomy website, and she seems to have deleted all her social media profiles.

Not sure what the story is there, but I’m sure she’s enjoying the money she received from SilverStar Live affiliates.

One last note on Eaconomy management; I couldn’t help but notice Sal Leto credited as Vice President of Operations.

Leto is best known for spearheading attempts to market the OneCoin Ponzi scheme in the US.

When that failed Leto switched to iPro Network. When iPro Network collapsed… well, here we are.

Caelus Energy Alaska Review: Fake oil gas company Ponzi scheme

Caelus Energy Alaska provides no legitimate information on its website about who owns or runs the business.

Caelus Energy Alaska’s website does have an “about us” section, but it’s populated with fictional management represented by stock photos.

The Caelus Energy Alaska website domain (“caeoil.com”) was first registered in 2017.

The private domain registration was last updated on March 27th, 2019.

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…]



Omega Group Review: BitBonds Ponzi points scheme

Omega Group are based out of Kiev, Ukraine and operate in the cryptocurrency MLM niche.

Omega Group is headed up by CEO Bartosz Nafalski.

As per Nafalski’s Omega Group corporate bio, he has

25 years of experience as a managing director at Pepsi Co., Foodcare, Maspex and MK Cafe.

Possibly due to language-barriers, I was unable to put together an MLM history on Nafalski.

Read on for a full review of the Omega Group MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]


CMDX Review: CoinMD reboots with ERC-20 tokens

CMDX is a reboot of the failed CoinMD investment scheme.

CMDX is owned and operated by Tom McMurrain, a former OneCoin Ponzi scammer.

McMurrain launched CoinMD in mid 2017, about six months after OneCoin collapsed.

CoinMD’s business model was simple enough; give real money to Tom McMurrain in exchange for worthless CoinRewards points.

By March 2019 CoinMD was on the verge of collapse, prompting McMurrain (right) to beg investors for $100,000.

Within 24 hours of that announcement, McMurrain announced the collapse had been averted.

In its place was a new CoinMD compensation plan. Last month McMurrain announced CoinMD would be abandoned in favor of a “new” company, CMDX.
