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

The TrezorHub website domain (“trezorhub.me”) was privately registered on October 31st, 2018.

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…]

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

The UDS Game website domain (“udsgame.com”) was privately registered on December 31st, 2014.

The company appears to have strong ties to Russia, primarily through their Global Intellect Service parent company.

GIS Company appeared on IT markets of Russia and CIS countries on the 2nd of March in 2014.

As a holding company GIS owns two brands: UDS Game and NutriStrike.

Nutristrike’s website is entirely in Russian. The company appears to market a self-branded nutritional supplement.

In a March 2017 fluff-piece, Ted Nuyten’s BusinessForHome cited Viacheslav Ushenin as CEO of Global Intellect Services.

Top leader Viacheslav Ushenin is founder and CEO of Global Intellect Service (GIS) a leading IT company based in Russia.

Prior to Global Intellect Services and UDS Game, Ushenin (right) was a top affiliate in Talk Fusion.

In another 2012 fluff-piece, BusinessForHome cited Ushenin earning $330,000 a month.

BehindMLM reviewed Talk Fusion in 2014 and, based on its $1499 video communication packages, concluded the company had little to no retail viability.

Possibly due to language-barriers, I was unable to ascertain why Ushenin left Talk Fusion.

After leaving Talk Fusion and prior to UDS Game, Ushenin launched Set in Box.

From what I can gather, Set in Box was loosely modeled on Talk Fusion’s video-focused offering:

The company failed but was nonetheless the precursor to UDS Game and Global Intellect Services.

As it stands the FTC is currently reviewing four settlements in the Digital Altitude case.

The closest of the settlement review deadlines is Michael Force on January 2nd. That is by January 2nd, the FTC was scheduled to have made a decision on the agency’s proposed settlement with Force.

Unfortunately last month Donald Trump decided to shut down the US government.

Owing to the FTC running out of money, it seems all four Digital Altitude settlement decisions will be delayed. [Continue reading…]

A lawsuit filed back in October alleges that behind Wakaya Perfection’s MLM opportunity, there’s secret

monetary investment opportunities for individuals with a promise of a return on their investment.

This is a problem, because Wakaya Perfection aren’t registered to offer securities in the US. [Continue reading…]

In response to a lawsuit filed against them by WorldVentures, Ariix has come out swinging.

The company has brought to the court’s attention WorldVentures’ pyramid scheme ban in Norway and tax evasion investigations in South Africa, Cyprus, China and Taiwan.

Ariix claims that WorldVentures is currently experiencing a “myriad legal and financial difficulties” and ongoing “serious cash crunch” that has resulted in commissions going unpaid.

All of this has resulted in a “serious business decline” and “global loss of confidence” in the company, which Ariix attributes to WorldVentures’ “own operational failures”. [Continue reading…]

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

The Infinity Loops website domain (“theinfinityloops.com”) was privately registered on November 2nd, 2018.

A marketing video on the Infinity Loops website is hosted on a YouTube channel bearing the name “Johnny Krypto”.

Other videos on the channel suggest the channel is owned by Johnny Ganoza.

Under the alias “Johnny Gan”, Ganoza (right) is also an admin of the official Infinity Loops Facebook group.

About a year ago Ganoza launched Xtreme Pro System 2.0, a reboot of his 2014 Xtreme Pro System Ponzi launch.

Like the original, Xtreme Pro System 2.0 collapsed a few months after launch.

Hedger Tech operates in the cryptocurrency MLM niche. Other than an email address, the company provides no contact information.

Hedger Tech don’t provide management details on their website, but their whitepaper cites Leo Bathan as Chairman and CEO.

Bathan doesn’t have a digital footprint outside of the Hedger Tech whitepaper, which I’m flagging as highly suspicious.

Either Bathan doesn’t exist or is being represented by someone with a different name (typically a stolen image or an actor is used).

The Hedger Tech website domain (“hedger.tech”) was privately registered on May 18th, 2018.

Hedger Tech also run Hedger Mining, through which affiliate investment is solicited through.

The Hedger Mining website domain (“hedgermining.com”) was privately registered on September 14th, 2018.

InclusiveFX operates in the forex trading MLM niche and claim to be based out of the UK.

The company provides laughably generic photos of their management.

Supposedly InclusiveFX is headed up by “Steve Murray”, yet he and the rest of InclusiveFX management don’t exist outside of staged photos provided on their website.

Pretty much all of the explanation and testimonial videos on the InclusiveFX website appear to be Fivver gigs.

As for the executive team, they are of university student age so I’m going to go with actors.

A corporate address provided on the InclusiveFX website belongs to Regus, a third-party virtual office provider.

The InclusiveFX website domain (“inclusivefx.com”) was first registered in September, 2016.

The domain registration were last updated to reflect private registration on May 4th, 2018.

InclusiveFX provides two incorporation documents on their website, one for Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE and one for the UK.

Neither incorporation means anything from a legitimacy standpoint.

RAK International Companies incorporation costs about $1000. UK incorporation can be had for less than $100.

Neither jurisdiction is known for stringent regulation, with the UK in particular being a favorite of scammers.

Despite claiming to be “obsessed with transparency”, Neuryx provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

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

Instead, the company purposefully dodges providing what should be basic due-diligence information;

Now it’s not really about who we are, is it? In reality, Travelada is really all about you.

The Travelada website domain (“travelada.com”) was first registered back in 2011. The domain registration was last updated on April 18th, 2018.

Unfortunately the Travelada domain registration is private and provides no ownership information.

A corporate address on the Travelada website is actually that of K&E Travel.

K&E Travel are based out of Florida and run their own “Independent Travel Agent” opportunity.

It would seem that whoever is behind Travelada has signed up as a K&E travel agent and repacked the service as Travelada.

Update 28th December 2018 – It appears a lot of information has been deleted from the Travelada website over the past few months.

Archives reveal that prior to deletion, Travelada cited Mark Elie as its President:

As per Elie’s Travelada corporate bio;

As President of Travelada Mark has the work ethic and knowledge to take the company to a level of success like no other.

Mark’s vision is far-reaching. He believes Travelada will exceed everyons’e expectations except his.

Mark will be integral in helping Travelada grow and making sure that we have the best we can offer in the travel industry.

Despite Elie heading up Travelada, in a comment left under this review he claims he is ‘not involved in Travelada in any way.‘

We’ve brought the inconsistency between Elie’s non-involvement claim and the facts to his attention in the comments below. We await his reply. /end update
