WoToken Review: WOR token Appollo bot Ponzi scheme
WoToken’s website provides no information about who owns or runs the business.
The WoToken website domain (“wotoken.pro”) was registered using bogus details on September 16th, 2018.
WoToken marketing material suggests the company has ties to Hong Kong.
Update 27th June 2019 – A marketing video shot by the Asia Blockchain Review website earlier this year features an interview with WoToken’s founder.
The video was purportedly filmed in Hong Kong earlier this year and features Edward Wu as founder of WoToken and CEO of 1WorldBlockchain.
1WorldBlockchain claims to be a banking alternative.
1WB performs the basic functions required for efficient transfer of all types of Cross border payments into blockchain technology using smart contracts execution mechanism.
Edward Wu is credited as “Edward Ng” on the 1WorldBlockchain website. He also uses this name on LinkedIn.
1WorldBlockchain’s website domain was first registered in 2016. The registration was last updated in January 2019.
An old copy of 1WorldBlockchain’s website reveals the company operated out of Nanshan District, Shenzhen in China.
As far as I can tell 1WorldBlockchain exists today for no other purpose than to create smoke and mirrors around WoToken. /end update
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…]
Super CodingFly Review: SCF Token app bot Ponzi scheme
Super CodingFly has a website domain but only uses the domain to host its bot app.
There is no company website on the Super CodingFly domain.
The domain itself (“scfly.io”) was registered on February 21st, 2019.
Hong Cao is listed as the owner, through an address in Anhui, China.
Despite its website domain only existing as of last month, Super CodingFly’s marketing material claims the company has been around since 2015.
Despite the links to China, Super CodingFly claims its headquarters are in Singapore. This is supposedly through a financial relationship with ZB Exchange, a Singaporean cryptocurrency exchange.
Other than serving as social media marketing fodder, there doesn’t appear to be any relevance to this connection.
Super CodingFly’s marketing material cites Bruce Zhang as CEO of the company.
Zhang claims to be an “early investor of bitcoin” and supposedly founded Super CodingFly in 2015.
He is also cited as the CEO of ZB Mega, a shell company tying Super CodingFly and ZB Exchange together.
Outside of Super CodingFly marketing material, Zhang doesn’t have a digital footprint.
At least as far as MLM goes, Super CodingFly appears to be Zhang’s first MLM venture.

Park Lane Review: Affordable fashion jewelry since 1955
Park Lane operate in the jewelry MLM niche and have been around since 1955.
So the story goes;
In 1955, the company’s co-founders, Arthur and Shirley LeVin, started their business based on the philosophy of sharing and caring.
Today, the second generation of LeVins, inspired by the values and success of the first five decades, has taken the company to greater heights with the same sense of commitment, pride, passion and heart.
Park Lane today operates out of Illinois, the same state the company was founded in.
While there are “field executives” featured on the Park Lane website, curiously there’s no detailed information about any of the LeVins.
With a bit of Googling I was able to ascertain Park Lane’s CEO is Scott LeVin.
Unfortunately Arthur LeVin passed away in 2013. I wasn’t able to confirm Shirley’s death so I believe she’s still alive, albeit not actively involved in the running of Park Lane (due to her age likely for some time).
Being the son of Park Lane’s founders, Scott LeVin continues the family business. I believe some of the LeVin’s grandchildren are also involved although I’m unsure in what capacity.
A Park Lane marketing video cites Scott LeVin as a co-owner of the company. Siblings Arthur and Mark LeVin are also cited as a Park Lane co-owners.
On the legal front Park Lane has a pretty clean bill of health. There are a few infighting lawsuits but nothing major.
One of the LeVin’s sons, Ryan LeVin, was involved in a hit and run back in 2011. A followup article in 2015 suggests he has made significant life changes after the experience.
To be clear, this is not directly tied to Park Lane. I am however including it as in the 2011 article Ryan is cited as “the heir to a jewellery empire”.

In an attempt to create usability for Quaestor coins, back in February Quaestor Solutions owner Svend Rasmussen came up with “Quaestor Fight Night”.

Awk-ward! [Continue reading…]
BitXUp Review: Bitcoin pass-up gifting scheme
BitXUp provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the business.
The BitXUp website domain (“bitxup.com”) was registered on February 1st, 2019.
Mohammed Shoaib (right), who also goes by Muhammed, is listed as the BitXUp domain owner through an address in Karachi, Pakistan.
As far as I can tell, BitXUp is Shoaib’s first MLM launch.

One World Network Review: B-Epic sister opp with forced autoship
One World Network operates in the wight loss MLM niche. The company fails to provide a corporate address on their website.
Heading up One World Network is founder and CEO, Eric Caprarese.
Caprarese (right) first appeared on BehindMLM’s radar in 2013, as co-founder and CEO of Brain Abundance.
Brain Abundance had fizzled out by 2016. Caprarese resurfaced as President and CEO of B-Epic later that same year.
In our Brain Abundance and B-Epic prelaunch review, we noted both company’s distinct lack of retail focus.
A reader asked up to revisit B-Epic in mid 2018, prompting publication of an updated review.
Since our prelaunch review, B-Epic had deteriorated into a pay to play pyramid scheme.
Retail sales were possible, but handled through separate websites that had little to no traffic to them.
Thus it is believed the vast majority of B-Epic sales were by affiliates.
Alexa traffic estimates for the B-Epic website show a sharp decline throughout 2019.
That said the B-Epic website is still functional. Eric Caprarese is still cited as company President and CEO.
Surprisingly, Russia is cited the top source of traffic to B-Epic’s website (30%).
Whether One World Network was launched in response to or is responsible for the decline in B-Epic website traffic is unclear.
Promotion of One World Network began in late September, 2018. B-Epic’s social media accounts were still live and updated as of March 22nd, 2019.

Skyway Capital continues investment fraud with tokens & CryptoUnits
The Skyway Capital Ponzi scheme might be running low on cash, prompting Skyway to announce both Skyway tokens and CryptoUnits.
Communication seems to be a problem at Skyway Ponzi HQ though, as both reload scams have been announced simultaneously.
This naturally caused confusion, prompting Skyway to issue clarification that they aren’t one and the same.
The launch of Skyway tokens is taking a backseat to CryptoUnits, which are supposedly good to go. [Continue reading…]
