CBM Global’s website provides no information about who owns or runs the business.

The CBM Global website domain (“cbmglobal.io”) was registered on April 4th, 2018.

Force International is listed as the domain owner, through an address in Antwerp, Belgium.

The CBM Global Terms and Conditions states that CBM Global is

owned by Force International CVBA.

Force International also operates under the following brand names:

CBM Global, TradeLand, MicroMaxCash, TradeUnity, Nexitrade, WhiteRavenFX, Brandologic, VAIOX, CherryFile, IrisCall, The People’s Web, Eticketbooker.

Websites are provided for each of these entities, however each website is dead traffic-wise (Alexa “unranked”).

Furthermore while some of the domains are aged, they all appear to have been acquired in mid 2018.

I picked three at random and found:

• BrandLogic’s website domain registration was last updated on July 20th, 2018
• Trade Unity’s website domain registration was last updated on August 30th, 2018
• Micro Max Cash’s website domain registration was last updated on July 20th, 2018

This is presumably when whoever is Force International itself bought the domains.

Force International’s own website was initially registered in January, 2016. The domain registration was last updated on January 13th, 2019.

Force International’s website does list a management team, although something is off about each of Force Management’s listed executives.

They seem to exist in that they each have digital footprints (there are multiple photos of each person associated with various online profiles), but I can’t find anything concrete on the company itself.

Force International as a business is dead, its website has no traffic. Furthermore the website states Force International has something to do with telecommunications and business tools.

Force International is a young startup, taking its first big steps in the technology sector.

Force consists of different business units, embracing all kinds of industries.

Both internal and external projects are being worked out to the letter until they’re ready to conquer the market

CBM Global doesn’t feature on the site as a “product”, nor does it fit into the business description above.

There is definitely something weird going on here.

Grossbyte operates in the cryptocurrency MLM niche.

The company states on its website that it is headed up by “Thomas Patrick”.

A cropped image of Patrick appears on the Grossbyte website. Patrick however has no digital footprint outside of the “about us” page on Grossbyte’s website.

Furthermore, it appears Patrick’s entire Grossbyte corporate bio is rewritten content stolen from other executives.

Given this, it’s highly likely that neither Thomas Patrick or any of the other executives listed on the Grossbyte website actually exist.

Grossbyte provides an incorporation number that corresponds with Grossbyte LTD in the UK.

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

Incorporation certificates for Grossbyte are also provided for Seychelles and Ras Al Khaimah, two additional dodgy jurisdictions.

Whoever is actually running Grossbyte has a poor command of English, as evidenced by numerous paragraphs like this on their website;

Online investment attraction is that the best way to build our business grow quicker.

At the time of publication Alexa estimates Nigeria (31%), Ghana (18%) and Tanzania (14%) are the largest source of traffic to the Grossbyte website.

It’s highly likely (but not certain) that whoever is actually running Grossbyte is based out of Africa itself.

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…]

Last we checked in Wakaya Perfection’s lawsuit against Youngevity had been dismissed.

Wakaya Perfection filed an appeal shortly after the decision in the Tenth Circuit.

The Tenth Circuit overturned the case, kicking it back to the Utah Central Division District Court.

Youngevity’s next move was to file a motion to stay proceedings, which was granted on February 28th. [Continue reading…]

Update 5th April 2025 – Brandi Snow, Director of Customer Support at Corvive, has been in touch to advise “CorVive has transitioned away from the MLM model.”

For over two years, CorVive has operated as a direct-to-consumer (DTC) company. We no longer utilize an MLM compensation plan.

As per Corvive’s website, the company now runs a single-level commission model;

Get a unique affiliate link upon signup to promote our brand. Any order made via your link will be credited to you.

Earn an attractive 20% commission on every order you bring in.

Although Corvive is no longer an MLM company, this review is maintained for historical reference. /end update

CorVive’s website provides no information about who owns or runs the business.

The CorVive website domain was privately registered on January 19th, 2018.

Further research reveals CorVive affiliates citing Jeremy Fouts as founder and CEO of the company (note incorrectly credited as “Fout” below).

Fouts does promote CorVive on social media, however on the CorVive website itself he is conspicuously absent.

According to his LinkedIn profile, prior to founding CorVive Jeremy Fouts was a Crown Diamond in Genesis Pure.

Genesis Pure was an MLM company launched in 2009. Heading up the company was founder and CEO, Lindsey Duncan.

Duncan was also credited as “head formulator” of Genesis Pure’s products.

BehindMLM reviewed Genesis Pure in 2013 and, among other things, cited concerns over pay to play revenue-sharing.

In 2014 the Texas Attorney General sued Lindsey Duncan for fraud. This was followed by a $9 million dollar fine from the FTC.

Despite Duncan’s reputation left in tatters, Genesis Pure continued on as Live Pure.

I’m not sure exactly when he left, but by August 2017 however Jeremy Fouts was out.

Up until a year ago, Fouts was marketing his own branded “leadership training” on YouTube.
