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

The Maktub Emirates website domain registration doesn’t provide any further information (the domain is registered to the company itself).

At the time of publication Alexa cite Brazil (51%) and Spain (18%) as the primary sources of traffic to the Maktub Emirates website.

It is highly likely that whoever is running Maktub Emirates has ties to one or both of these countries.

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…]

Ahead of Faith Sloan’s scheduled February 2019 TelexFree trial, the SEC filed for a $1.2 million partial summary judgment in late November.

Sloan filed her response on December 7th, in which she makes four primary arguments; [Continue reading…]

Solmax Global provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

The Solmax Global website domain (“solmaxglobal.com”) was privately registered on October 4th, 2017.

At the time of publication Alexa cites Pakistan as the primary source of traffic to the Solmax Global website (49%).

This suggests that whoever is running Solmax Global is likely based out of Pakistan.

Based on Solmax Global marketing material, another possibility is someone residing in the UK with strong links to Pakistan.

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…]

Roughly twenty-two hours ago as I write this, BehindMLM published a review of AtmosO2.

In a nutshell, AtmosO2 was an unregistered securities offering run by Ocular Tech.

Barely half an hour ago, AtmosO2 CEO and Ocular Tech co-founder Dager Contreras announced he’s shutting the MLM opportunity down. [Continue reading…]

Although he’s not directly referenced on the Daily Net Pay website, marketing videos on the site identify John Kielec as “admin and creator” of the company.

Kielec operates his various companies out of Canada.

BehindMLM first referenced Daily Net Pay in our Daily Net Traffic review.

Under the F5M Millionaires Club brand, Kielec launches various MLM opportunities, the latest of which is Daily Net Traffic.

Other opportunities mentioned on the F5M Millionaires Club website include Daily Net Pay and Revenue From Advertising.

Since our published March 2017 review the Daily Net Traffic gifting scheme has collapsed (website offline).

AtmosO2 provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

In fact as I write this, the AtmosO2 website is nothing more than an affiliate login form.

The AtmosO2 website domain (“atmost02.com”) was privately registered on October 18th, 2018.

Further research reveals AtmosO2 marketing videos identifying Dager Contreras (right) as CEO of the company.

According to Contreras’ LinkedIn profile, he co-founded Ocular Compliance Tech.

According to Ocular Compliance Tech’s website,

Ocular is an Anti- Money Laundering (AML) compliance platform that provides instant verification of a customer`s background (KYC).

The platform leverages cryptographic security mechanisms employed in distributed ledger technologies to ensure that data cannot be tampered with, while allowing users full control over how their data is stored and shared.

Contreras’ LinkedIn profile suggests Ocular Compliance Tech launched in early 2017.

The current Alexa traffic ranking of 11.7 million for the company’s website suggests Ocular Compliance Tech flopped.

Nonetheless Ocular Compliance Tech ties Contreras to the cryptocurrency industry. I wasn’t able to find any prior MLM involvement.

Contreras LinkedIn profile cites his location as California in the US. This is presumably where AtmosO2 is also being operated from.

FX Trading Corp operates in the MLM cryptocurrency niche and represents it is based out of South Korea.

To that end a tax certificate for “FX Trading Corporation” is provided on the company’s website.

Heading up FX Trading Corp are co-founders Young Min Oh (CEO), Joon Park (CFO) and Yang Jae Seok (CMO).

No information about any of these individuals is provided. Possibly due to language-barriers, I was also unable to find anything further myself.

What little I did find was tied to FXTrading Corp itself. This is a red flag as it suggests the co-founders have no digital footprint outside of the recently launched company.

The Berlin Group launched on the promise of a 168% ROI every 60 days.

ROI revenue was claimed to be generated via a “recycle bot”, specific details of which were never provided.

As I write this only a few months out from The Berlin Group’s launch, the company website is offline,  invested funds have disappeared and management are feeding victims excuses. [Continue reading…]

Within the MLM matrix cycler niche is a subset of schemes that carrot dangle.

Perhaps the most memorable example I can give you over the past few years is Sheila Tabarsi’s SVM Global Initiative.

Tabarsi essentially crafted a list of people willing to hand over money in exchange for nothing.

After hitting up said list for fee payments over a few years, SVM Global Initiative was quietly dropped. Despite being a relatively simple and straight-forward Ponzi cycler, the scheme never launched.

Last I heard Tabarsi was funneling her list into various MLM crypto scams, but I digress.

Today we’re checking in on a more recent carrot dangle scheme, Noble 8 Revolution.

And Just a heads up, if you’re having a good day you might want to skip this one – it’s pretty depressing. [Continue reading…]

Ormeus Global emerged as a faceless company in mid 2017.

In our published Ormeus Global review, our research revealed the company was John Barksdale jumping on the MLM cryptocurrency bandwagon.

Ormeus Global had no retailable products or services. Its affiliates invested funds into B2X89, a “bot trader” that Ormeus Global marketed a 160% ROI through.

Rather than operate legally, Barksdale chose to market Ormeus Global in countries with less than diligent regulation. [Continue reading…]
