Bitcoin Frontiers Review: Two-tier bitcoin gifting scheme
The Bitcoin Frontiers website provides no information about who owns or runs the company.
In fact the website itself is nothing more than an email capture landing page.
Visitors to the Bitcoin Frontiers website through an affiliate referral link, are told they can make “$1000+ A DAY with bitcoin”.
The Bitcoin Frontiers website domain (“bitcoinfrontiers.com”) was privately registered on October 14th, 2018.
Further research reveals that a few months ago, Clay Montgomery was seeking a freelancer artist to create logos for Bitcoin Adventurer and Crypto Mastery.
These are the two buy-in gifting tiers for Bitcoin Frontiers.
This lead me to confirm Clay Montgomery is behind Bitcoin Frontiers, and apparently he’s working with Franco Gonzalez.
Clay Montgomery (right) first appeared on BehindMLM’s radar in 2017, as admin of the short-lived Speed Feeder Ponzi cycler.
Outside of his own launches, Montgomery is a serial promoter of various MLM underbelly scams. These include Digital Altitude and Exitus Elite.
Judging from Bitcoin Frontiers bitcoin theme, it seems now Montgomery is focused on cryptocurrency scamming.
Update 7th April 2019 – Whereas Clay Montgomery represents he is based out of Oklahoma in the US on his personal social media profiles, turns out he’s relocated to the Philippines.
Montgomery moved to the Philippines to meet a local he met online on or around December, 2018.
Note the above video has since been deleted or marked as private.
I was able to confirm however that as of March 31st, 2019, Montgomery is still residing in Quezon City, Philippines (in or around Eastwood City). /end update
Franco Gonzales (right) first featured on BehindMLM in 2011, as part of the AutoXTen Ponzi cycler collapse fallout.
At the time Gonzales was working closely with Jeff Long, leading to the launch of the SMS Dailys pyramid scheme shortly after AutoXTen’s collapse.
These days Gonzales markets the various schemes he’s in through his “Franco Simple Freedom” team.

Happy Life Affiliates Review: 3×8 matrix marketing tool recruitment
Happy Life Affiliates provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the business.
The “contact info” section of the website however details Charis Papadopoulos, who is credited as an “Internet MI Marketer”.
Papadopolous (right) also features in numerous videos on the official Happy Life Affiliates website.
On his Facebook page Papadopoulos confirms he is the owner of Happy Life Affiliates.
Papadopolous resides in Thessaloníki, Greece, which is presumably also from where Happy Life Affiliates is operated from.
Possibly due to language barriers, I was unable to put together Papadopolous’ MLM history prior to Happy Life Affiliates.
The Happy Life Affiliates YouTube channel suggests Papadopolous is heavily into online marketing.

Global Game Arena Review: GGA Ponzi points + illegal gambling
Global Game Arena runs four websites that I’m aware of:
- globalgamearena.biz
- globalgamearena.com
- globalgamearena.info and
- globalgamearena.net
Neither website provides any information on who owns or runs the company.
Further research reveals Global Game Arena disclosing Frode Jorgensen as co-founder of the company, and Daniel Grenon as Chief Marketing Officer.
Frode Jorgensen first appeared on BehindMLM in 2012, as suspected owner of the Bidify Ponzi scheme.
Even then Jorgensen had a history of involvement in several fraudulent business opportunities.
Bidify launched as a Zeek Rewards Ponzi clone. Not surprisingly, we uncovered Jorgensen was likely a Zeek Rewards investor himself.
After the SEC shut down Zeek Rewards, Bidify renamed itself MyCenterBid.
By then the penny auction Ponzi game was up. MyCenterBid limped along for a while before collapsing in 2013.
Flush with whatever he’d managed to steal from Zeek Rewards, Bidify and MyCenterBid investors, Jorgensen went underground for two years.
In 2015 he reemerged at a Crypto 888 Club Ponzi leadership event in the Philippines.
That was the last we saw of Jorgensen, although admittedly we haven’t been tracking him closely.
Daniel Grenon made a name for himself scamming people in OneCoin.
Following OneCoin’s collapse in early 2017, Grenon hitched his wagon to Ed Hartley’s Worldwide Cryptocurrency Investment.
Hartley passed away shortly after WCI’s launch. This prompted a company name-change to Worldwide Cryptocurrency International, of which Grenon was cited as a co-founder.
By early 2018 Grenon had gone underground. Like Jorgensen, he is believed to have done a runner with whatever he managed to steal from WCI affiliates.
WCI itself collapsed and was rebooted as Fintegri in late 2018.
Global Game Arena’s other co-founders aren’t publicly disclosed.
Given the pedigree of the company’s named executives however, it’s a safe bet they’ve all probably got long histories of scam involvement too.
On the corporate side of things Global Game Arena provides multiple corporate addresses.
The first is for GGA Holding Pte. Ltd. in Singapore. The provided address belongs to a virtual office merchant, so it’s a safe bet GGA Holding is nothing more than a shell company.
In the footer of their other websites, Global Game Arena provides:
All GGA products and games are jointly operated by Global Game Arena Ltd. and Novus Solutions Curacao N.V.
Registered address: Heelsumstraat 51,E-Commerce Park Curaçao, a company licensed and regulated by the laws of Curacao.
Like Global Game Arena Pte. Ltd., these also appear to be shell corporations.
In February 2019 the Norwegian Gaming Board contacted Global Game Arena.
The Gaming Board expressed concern that, through Global Game Arena, Norwegians were being exposed to
unlawful offers, marketing and dissemination of lotteries and gambling games that are not permitted in Norway.
The Gaming Board cited promotional activity in Norway.
Jorgensen, originally from Norway, has since relocated to Thailand.
It is believed Global Game Arena is being operated out of Thailand itself, although there’s probably some logistics handled from within Europe.

OneOkada Review: Black garlic supplement toxic to cancer cells?
OneOkada operates in the supplement MLM niche and is based out of Quezon City in the Philippines.
Heading up OneOkada is Alexander Salvador, who cites himself as “emperor” of the company.
In Salvador’s OneOkada corporate bio he’s credited with
decades of his experiences in both traditional and network marketing businesses.
Possibly due to language barriers, I was unable to verify Salvador’s MLM history.
Update 3rd April 2019 – A February 16th Manila Standard article identifies Alexander Salvador as an architect by trade.
The article identifies Forever Living and GoldQuest (later rebranded QNet) as companies Salvador promoted in the 1990s.
Two years later, Salvador along with 80 leaders from GoldQuest established another company called Power Homes Unlimited Corp. which was later ordered closed by the Securities and Exchange Commission for soliciting investments from the public.
In 2011 Salvador launched OneGoal.
OneGoal was an MLM company selling Gravitrol, touted as a cancer treatment. It collapsed in 2012. /end update
What I was able to verify is that in addition to launching OneOkada, Salvador (right) also runs the Cut & Fix hair salon chain in the Philippines.
On the OneOkada website, Salvador is cited as
the man behind the success of the most profitable salon brand for the past 5 years, the CUT & FIX INTERNATIONAL SALON.

Dunamis Mining Review: Crypto mining unregistered securities Ponzi
Dunamis Mining provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the business.
The Dunamis Mining website domain (“dunamismining.com”) was privately registered on October 26th, 2018.
Further research reveals Dunamis Mining affiliates naming Jeremie Sowerby (right) as CEO of the company.
According to Sowerby’s personal Facebook profile, he’s based out of Ontario, Canada.
Despite this, Dunamis Mining represents that it is an Arizona Limited Liability Company.
A search of the Arizona Corporation Commission does reveal an entry for Dunamis Mining LLC, however it as has been inactive since January 17th, 2019.
The stated reason for Dunamis Mining LLC’s inactive status is “incomplete formation”.
As such, outside of a non-active US shell company, Dunamis Mining doesn’t appear to have any registered business operations in the US.
Owing to Jeremie Sowerby being based out of Canada, it is assumed Dunamis Mining is also being operated out of Canada.
In 2017, Jeremie Sowerby was promoting My Trader Coin.
My Trader Coin touted $550 day returns through cryptocurrency trading. In reality it was a Ponzi scheme and collapsed around six months after launch.
Prior to getting involved in cryptocurrency scams, Sowerby was a Kyani affiliate through Team Fusion.

NZ schools force oil diffusers onto students, parent threatens to sue
Someone in New Zealand has come up with a novel way to push doTerra products.
The unnamed affiliate convinced a bunch of local schools that placing a doTerra diffuser in classrooms, would “stop the spread of viruses and keep children focused at school”.
Not everyone is on board though, with one parent going so far as to threaten to take the school to the High Court. [Continue reading…]
