BTC Matrix provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The BTC Matrix website domain (“btcmatrix.com”) was privately registered on June 6th, 2017.

The official BTC Matrix Facebook group lists one admin, Mair Heather.

The Mair Heather Facebook account appears to be bogus and appears to have been created to push various MLM underbelly schemes.

At the time of publication Alexa estimate that pretty much all traffic to the BTC Matrix website originates out of Nigeria.

This strongly suggests that whoever is running BTC Matrix is also based out of Nigeria.

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…]

Automated Matrix provide no information about who owns or runs the business on their website.

The Automated Matrix website domain (“automatedmatrix.com”) was privately registered on May 30th, 2017.

The official Automated Matrix Facebook group was created by Steve John less than 24 hours ago.

Steve John first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar earlier this year as the admin of the 2×9 BitMax gifting scheme and BTC Madness Ponzi cycler.

Both company websites are still online today, although Alexa traffic estimates to both show a decline over the past few months.

The Steve John Facebook account has no content on it prior to December 2016 and is believed to be fake.

Back in March John announced he was starting a new downline feeder group called G.I.V.E. (Global Initiative Through Value & Experience).

Our aim is to choose best programs online, get in as a team & provide support 24×7 on all online income opportunities and make everyone grow along with us.

Amid an ongoing investigation by Malaysian authorities that saw raids conducted on MBI malls earlier this month, now news that a “top official” has been arrested.

Malaysian authorities haven’t identified the arrested individual. From the sounds of it though, there’s little doubt they’ve nabbed MBI International founder Teddy Teow. [Continue reading…]

Last weekend OneCoin held an affiliate rah-rah event in Vietnam.

Coinciding with the event, a document purportedly signed off on by the Vietnamese government began doing the rounds.

According to Vietnamese OneCoin affiliates, the document was “proof OneCoin has been officially licensed in Vietnam”.

Not surprisingly, a few days ago the Vietnamese government issued a statement claiming the document was forged. [Continue reading…]

Mining Max provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The Mining Max website domain (“miningmax.net”) was privately registered on September 1st, 2016.

An April 6th YouTube video titled “Mining Max Introduction” names Daniel Park as Founder and Chairman of the company.

No further information about Park is provided (I couldn’t find anything either).

On their website, Mining Max provide a Nevada incorporation number. The corporate address provided for the company however is in California.

Whether Mining Max exists in the US other than in name only is unclear.

Offered languages on the Mining Max website are Korean, Chinese, Japanese and English, with Korean being the most prominent.

Reflecting this, Alexa currently estimate that 66% of traffic to the Mining Max website originates out of South Korea.

A Max Mining marketing presentation also claims the company utilizes an “internet data center” in Seoul, the capital of Korea.

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…]

Sii Global operate in the cryptocurrency MLM niche and are based out of Mexico City, Mexico.

Heading up Sii Global is CEO Miguel Ángel Arroyo.

Arroyo’s Sii Global corporate bio cites him as an “industrial engineer”. He is also credited with developing

large networks in several multilevel companies.

He is now the Director of “SII Global”, where he will again use his expertise to solidify another great endeavor.

Sii Global don’t provide details of Arroyo’s MLM past, and I was unable to link him to any company publicly. In fact, outside of Sii Global, there’s no information in English linking Arroyo to the MLM industry.

This is pretty suspect for someone who claims to have been a top leader in several companies.

The blurry photoshopped image of Arroyo on the Sii Global website doesn’t inspire confidence either.

Read on for a full review of the Sii Global MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]

WealthBot provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The WealthBot website domains (“wealthbot.info” and “wealthbot.online”) were respectively registered on December 12th and November 25th, 2016.

The “.online” domain is registered privately. Ronald Schulz is listed as the owner of the “.info” domain, care of InMotion Hosting Inc. Address and contact details in the WealthBot domain registration belong to InMotion Hosting.

InMotion Hosting is a web hosting company. Other than appearing to host WealthBot’s website, the two companies don’t appear to be connected.

WealthBot marketing videos feature Jay Michaels as a presenter. I was however unable to find any additional information connecting either Ronald Schulz or Jay Michaels to WealthBot.

Ad Marketing Made Easy provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The Ad Marketing Made Easy website domain (“goamme.com”) was privately registered on March 20th, 2017.

In the Ad Marketing Made Easy Terms and Conditions, the company claims to be registered in Hong Kong:

AD MARKETING MADE EASY LTD., a company with its registered office and principal place of business at: AD MARKETING MADE EASY LTD. 31/F., Chinachem Century Tower, 178 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong.

Further research reveals the provided address actually belongs to NorthWestern Management Services, who “specialize in company formation services”.

As such it appears Ad Marketing Made Easy exists in Hong Kong in name only.

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…]
