Vitae Global launched in early 2017 and operate in the coffee MLM niche.

The company is based out of Wyoming in the US and headed up by co-founders Jim Britt and Louis Volpe.

Jim Britt first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as co-founder of Quanta in 2013.

Quanta was a personal development MLM opportunity that saw affiliates gift each other fees under a “100% commissions” business model.

Launched in late 2013, Quanta collapsed within a year.

Quanta isn’t mentioned in Britt’s Vitae Global corporate bio, although it does state he

began his entrepreneur career in the network marketing industry over 40 years ago.

He has built large distributor organizations and consulted, trained and served as a performance expert with more than 300 network marketing companies.

Louis Volpe’s corporate bio credits him as Vitae Global’s “Product Sourcing Specialist & Formulator”.

Louis Volpe has been a leader in the nutritional supplement and Network Marketing Profession for over 30 years.

He’s been a top field producer, building sales organizations totaling over 100,000 distributors in multiple countries.

Because of his passion for high quality supplements, Louis opened Advanced Labs, which has become a major importer of nutritional raw materials.

As Lead Formulator and President at Advanced Labs, Louis is able to bring together locally sourced ingredients from around the world to create cutting edge products that produce real results.

Advanced Labs LLC own the Vitae Global website domain through an address in California.

Mini Cash Pool provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The Mini Cash Pool website domain (“minicashpool.com”) was privately registered on March 11th, 2017.

If you visit the Mini Cash Pool website without an affiliate referral, the site informs you that you’ve been “invited by MINI CASH POOL”.

This is the Mini Cash Pool admin account. If you then click “sign up”, the name of the Mini Cash Pool admin account is revealed to be Janet Qemunto.

Janet Qemunto (right) is based in Kenya and, according to her Facebook and LinkedIn profiles, works for the Kenyan Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs.

In addition to launching Mini Cash Pool, is also an affiliate in the My Cash Pool gifting scheme.

A “buy script” link on the bottom of the Mini Cash Pool website points to Ashish Raja’s Facebook profile.

Raja is the My Cash Pool admin and appears to have sold Qemunto a “scam in a box” business template.

Smaller Faster Levels provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The Smaller Faster Levels website domain (“smaller-faster-levels.com”) was privately registered on April 16th, 2017.

It’s worth noting that Smaller Faster Levels is a cookie-cutter opportunity “powered by Your Free Scripts”. Owing to this, Smaller Faster Levels is hosted on a private server used to host a number of MLM underbelly scams.

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

The Bitcoin Express website domain (“bitcoinexpress.biz”) was privately registered on February 19th, 2017.

By all appearances, whoever is running Bitcoin Express is either Russian, based out of Russia or both.

Evidence supporting this includes

• Russian text appearing on the “English” version of the Bitcoin Express affiliate sign up page
• the official Bitcoin Express Facebook group postings being all in Russian
• the presence of a Bitcoin Express ‎Vkontakte profile (‎Vkontakte is the largest social media platform in Russia)
• broken English appearing on the English version of the Bitcoin Express website (eg. “WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS FOR PAYMENT ARE?”)
• Alexa estimating that Russia is the largest source of traffic to the Bitcoin Express website (43%)

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…]

The original Pangea compensation plan saw affiliates buy in for $299 and then $30 a month. Commissions were paid on recruitment of new Pangea affiliates who did the same.

Despite only launching late last year, the original concept seems to have either flopped or stalled, prompted a relaunch on March 27th.

A new compensation plan was attached to Pangea’s relaunch, which today we’re taking a look at below.

Read on for a full review of Pangea’s updated compensation plan. [Continue reading…]

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

The Blockchain Rays website domain (“blockchainrays.com”) was privately registered on December 27th, 2016.

Alexa currently estimate that Nigeria (59%) and India (29%) are the two largest sources of traffic to the Blockchain Rays website.

This strongly suggests whoever is running the company is likely also based out of one of these two 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…]
