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

The IXQ TV website domain (“ixqtv.com”) was registered on April 26th, 2018.

David Bremner is listed as the owner, through an address in the US state of Virginia.

Bremner appeared on BehindMLM’s radar in March 2015, as owner of vStream TV.

vStream TV sold $349 streaming boxes preloaded with access to pirated content.

At the time of publication the old vStream TV website now redirects to something called Lifestyle Savings Network.

This appears to be another MLM company owned by David Bremner.

A Kodi Android box is still sold by Lifestyle Savings Network, although Alexa traffic rankings for the vStream TV website domain suggest the company is all but dead.

Of the scammers behind the Zhunrize Ponzi scheme, only Todd Spencer remains as an active defendant.

Spencer was sued by the Zhunrize Receiver, as part of a $2.8 million clawback lawsuit filed against Vodaware.

Through Vodaware, Spencer is believed to have received upwards of $350,000 in stolen Zhunrize investor funds.

In a Status Report filed on January 22nd, the Zhunrize Receiver has briefed the court on the current case status. [Continue reading…]

Tranont launched in 2014 and marketed a range of third-party merchant service subscriptions.

A few weeks back a BehindMLM reader got in touch to advise that Tranont has added a range of nutritional supplements.

The compensation plan has also changed, so it’s time for an updated review. [Continue reading…]

The only indiciation as to where ORU Marketplace is incorporated is the following statement on their website;

ORU Market, ORU Marketplace, ORU Pay, ORU Chat, ORU Mail, ORU Social, ORU Quantum Widget, ORU Score, Infinity Reward, ORU Rewards, ORU Health, ORU iOS App, ORU Android App, ORU Debit Card, ORU Card, Gizmoh.com are intellectual properties owned by Azteya Ltd and its affiliates.  Azteya Limited is headquartered in George Town Grand Cayman.

Azteya Limited has a website but there’s nothing on there other than a login form. As far as I can tell, Azteya Limited is nothing more than a shell company.

There is no legitimate reason for an MLM company to be incorporated in an offshore tax haven.

Heading up Oru Marketplace is “architect” Nick VandenBrekel (right).

Nick is a seasoned serial entrepreneur, technology and financial services innovator and military veteran.

With over 38 years of experience in myriad aspects of technology, science, finance and business, he has been responsible for, and has contributed to ground breaking technologies in the communications, financial, banking, medical, hardware, software, security, social media and enterprise systems industry.

In his ORU Marketplace corporate vio, VandenBrekel is cited as “a native of the Netherlands”.

Corporate records however suggest VandenBrekel is based out of the US state of Florida.

It follows thus that ORU Marketplace is also likely being operated out of Florida.

Despite the lofty claims made in VandenBrekel’s corporate bio, I believe ORU Marketplace is his first MLM venture as an executive.

Serial scammer Michael Faust isn’t too happy about BusinessForHome’s coverage of his latest gig, Silverstar Live.

In a response published to BusinessForHome’s article Facebook feed, Faust stated he “can see a lawsuit coming your way Ted.”

“Ted” referring to Ted Nuyten, author of the article and owner of BusinessForHome. [Continue reading…]

Being one of the most notorious MLM Ponzi schemes to date, MMM Global practically needs no introduction.

MMM Global was founded by Sergey Mavrodi and has origins in Russia dating back to 1989.

Over the past few years MMM Global has embraced cryptocurrency fraud. In addition to the central scam that collapsed in April 2016, has emerged and reemerged via smaller localized chapters.

Typically MMM Global flourishes in the third world countries, until it inevitably collapses and causes widespread investor losses.

Mavrodi himself died destitute on a Russian bus stop early last year.

Since his death however scammers have attempted to reboot MMM Global  and continue the scam.

In some instances they’ve gone to extreme measures to dupe people into believing Mavrodi is still alive; such was the cult following Mavrodi enjoyed during his prime.

The latest attempt is more subdued. Operating from the domain “mmmglobal.online”, the website is basically a clone of the collapsed global version of the scam – complete with Mavrodi’s infamous mug shot.

The domain itself was privately registered in May 2018 but only recently put to use.

Alexa cites India (28%) and Myanmar (23%) as the top sources of traffic.

Russian scammers, Indian scammers or Burmese scammers. Take your pick.

South African scammers are also a strong possibility, as per the use of ZAR on the MMM Global 2019 website;

If you want to put your money, so click “Provide Help” and point the sum of money, you would like to put in the System.

The minimal sum is 100 ZAR.

South Africa’s previous MMM Global chapter collapsed in May 2016.

Xip4Life surfaced in 2015 and was headed up by serial-scammer and co-founder, Kalpesh Patel.

I’m not going to mince words; Xip4Life as launched in 2015 was a Ponzi scheme.

What made Xip4Life interesting was it was seemingly tacked onto isXperia, an established MLM company that launched in 2007.

Xip4Life seems to have flopped and Kalpesh Patel is long gone.

From what I gather in the second half of 2018 Xip4Life’s other co-founder and owner of isXperia, Christopher Bratta, repurposed the company to sell a line of CBD oil products.

This is further explained in an email that went out to isXperia affiliates in 2018;

When you go to XIP4Life.com/YourDomain (same domain name that you have with isXperia), you will see your replicated CBD website.

All CBD products can only be purchased through your XIP4Life.com back office.

You will not see any CDB products on your isXperia website or back office as you won’t see any isXperia products on your XIP4Life website or back office.

Not really sure why the need for two companies, when effectively they operate as one.

You can now enroll Members and Promoters through your XIP4Life.com website too and they will have access to both isXperia and XIP4Life products and the same great compensation plan!

In any event a BehindMLM reader recently reached out requesting an updated Xip4Life review.

I initially thought the company was still a stand-alone opportunity but as I began my research, quickly realized Xip4Life had been rolled into isXperia.

Seeing as BehindMLM hasn’t yet published an isXperia review, now is as good a time as any.

My first inkling that something was up with Silverstar Live was their citing of “Quicksilver” as Chief Operating Officer.

Quicksilver… really?

Turns out someone else has a bit of an axe to grind with “Quicksilver”, going so far as to out him as David Wayne Myer.

There’s a “The Real Quicksilver” website set up that goes into more detail. I’m not going to link it because it gets into murky territory by posting Myer’s address information and family connections.

On Silverstar Builder, another website that appears to be tied to Silverstar Live, Myer is identified as a co-owner and Master Trader of the company.

The two other co-owners of Silverstar Live are identified as Candace Ross-Mahmoud (President) and Hassan Mahmoud (Executive Vice President).

In their respective Silverstar Live corporate bios, Myer is credited as

a career expert trader with 18 years experience.

For 16 consecutive years he has tripled his private trading account in the futures and Nadex market.

Candace Ross has been a top tier Marketing Strategist & Consultant in the network and affiliate marketing space for the last 6 years.

She is a self-taught internet marketer who has created multiple 7 figure sales systems and is frequently sought out to assist in the growth of corporate businesses.

Hassan Mahmoud is an international Omnipreneur & Keynote Speaker who is highly sought out by the millennial community to work with and to work on passion projects all over the world.

He has done over 250 million in sales over the past 4 years while helping multiple business owners grow their names and brands.

So uh, David Myer has supposedly generated a 300% annual ROI through trading for the past sixteen consecutive years huh?

You’d think there’d be some recognition of this outside of Silverstar Live but nope, nothing outside of Silverstar Live’s own marketing material.

So some guy nobody has ever heard of is one of the greatest and most consistent traders on the planet. Riiiiiiiiiight.

Prior to launching Silverstar Live, Candace Ross and Hassan Mahmoud were promoting Enagic.

A corporate address in Florida is provided on the Silverstar Live website. The address however appears to belong to a warehouse storage facility.
