Cashbery Review: 400 day ROI Russian loans Ponzi scheme
Cashbery launched about a year ago and name Artur Vardanyan (Артур Варданян) as Chairman of the Board.
According to Vardanyan’s corporate bio;
in the past (he) held position of the head of the credit department and the deputy chief of the economic security service in one of the largest Russian banks.
Multiple incorporation documents are provided on the Cashbery websites, mostly in Russian.
There is the token UK incorporation for “Cashbery Limited” though.
Vardanyan (right) is listed as Cashbery Limited’s sole Director, however he’s cited as a UK resident.
The address provided for Cashbery Limited and Vardanyan is a random serviced office address in London.
So if that’s any indication, the rest of the incorporation documents are meaningless.
UK incorporation is dirt cheap and for the most part unregulated. It is a favorite for scammers looking to incorporate dodgy companies.
Possibly due to language-barriers, I wasn’t able to verify any external information on Vardanyan.
He does appear to be an actual person though and appears (or whoever is portraying him) in multiple Cashbery promotional videos.
Taking into consideration the native language of the Cashbery website being Russian, all of the company social media accounts using Russian, Russia being the top source of traffic to the Cashbery website (56%, Alexa) and Russian incorporation documents provided, it’s highly likely that Cashbery is being operated from within Russia itself.

CryptoBuzz Corporation Review: Hourly ROI reload Ponzi scheme
CryptoBuzz Corporation provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.
The CryptoBuzz Corporation website domain (“cryptobuzz.win”) was privately registered on January 25th, 2018.
CryptoBuzz Corporation provide an incorporation number on their website, which corresponds with “Investellect LTD”.
Investellect LTD was incorporated in the UK on March 10th, 2017.
Further research reveals Investellect was a Ponzi scheme that advertised daily 1% to 1.4% returns.
The Investellect website domain (“investellect.net”) has been suspended due to bogus domain registration details.
By all appearances, CryptoBuzz Corporation is a reboot of the Investellect scam.
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…]
Cooperative Crowdfunding Review: 3×10 matrix cash gifting
Cooperative Crowdfunding provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the company.
Blog posts on the Cooperative Crowdfunding website are authored by “David T. Rosen”.
Further research reveals Cooperative Crowdfunding affiliates naming Rosen as founder of the company.
Rosen (right) is also listed as the owner of the Cooperative Crowdfunding website domain, through an address in Ontario, Canada.
Rosen first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar in 2015, as founder of PIE 24/7.
PIE 24/7 was basically a “pay a monthly fee and recruit other affiliates who do the same” scheme.
By early 2016 it appears PIE 24/7 collapsed, with one affiliate claiming they hadn’t been paid for 7 months as of April.
