There is currently no information on the Nspire Network website indicating who owns or runs the company.

Further research reveals that up until recently, the Nspire Network website credited Spencer Iverson as Founder and President of the company.

Why this information was taken offline is unclear.

As per Iverson’s Nspire Network corporate bio;

Iverson has built organizations of hundreds of thousands and has helped inspire millions around the world to live the lives of their dreams.

Iverson’s leadership and marketing concepts have helped companies grow their distributor and customer bases by more than 300% and increase monthly gross revenue by more than $5,000,000 – often within a matter of weeks.

Iverson has earned millions of dollars from building traditional businesses and in the industry of network marketing.

Up until recently Iverson was held an executive and affiliate position in Paycation.

On December 21st, 2016, Iverson made the following announcement on Facebook;

This post is meant to quell some rumors floating around. I have not “resigned” from Paycation Travel. I was not “terminated” from Paycation.

I was recently blessed and honored to be asked to serve as the President and co-owner of a new health and wellness company with some phenomenal products. But, to accept this new position, I had to step down as both VP of Business Development and as a National Diamond in Paycation… that’s NORMAL in this industry.

I am still supporting my current team and my desire is that each of my members STAYS with Paycation and enjoy the travel business, JUST LIKE I’M DOING.

Paycation combines retail travel services commissions with affiliate recruitment.

Iverson has a long history of network marketing training. Back in 2008 he co-founded the Millionaire Lifestyle Institute with Ephren Taylor and Floyd Williams.

MLI is a unique and comprehensive success and wealth training program created around a holistic approach to provide progressive individuals and organizations the right tools, environment, associations and information for maximum achievement.

Around 2011 Millionaire Lifestyle Institute was renamed Worthy of Millions Institute. WMI seems to have been in business for about a year.

In 2014 Iverson began promoting Organo Gold, a coffee MLM company. Iverson appears left Organo Gold for Paycation in early 2015.

Iverson is based out of the US state of Georgia. A Google Maps link on the Nspire Network website points to Georgia, so it appears the company is based out of Georgia too.

Digging a bit deeper I found that Nspire Network is credited as a subsidiary of Breakroad35 International.

JJ Javier (right) founded BreakRoad35 and he also serves as Nspire Network’s CEO.

Breakroad35 market coffee, supplements and a skin whitening bar in the Philippines.

BreakRoad35 social media profiles are still active, so it appears Javier is going to run it in tandem with Nspire.

Alexa traffic estimates for the BreakRoad35 website are pretty low (8 million+), suggesting Nspire might be an attempt to revive Javier’s business interests offshore.

If you’ve been paying any attention to the rumblings of the MLM underbelly, hours after Donald Trump is sworn in on January 20th Ponzi and pyramid schemes will be declared legal and a new golden era of scamming will be upon us.

Until then, February is shaping up to be quite the win for US regulatory and law enforcement agencies. [Continue reading…]

Angel Business Club surfaced around the time Viral Angels collapsed in mid 2015.

When it first launched, a “risk warning” page on the Angel Business Club website directly referenced Viral Angels.

Angel Business Club cite their parent company as Angel Equity International, a company registered in the UK.

Angel Equity International was incorporated in May of 2015, again around the time Viral Angels collapsed.

Dominic Berger and Philip Reid are listed as Company Directors of Angel Equity International, both through an address in London.

The Angel Business Club website cites Reid as Chairman and Berger as CEO of the company.

Both Reid and Berger were members of Trig’s Board of Directors.

Viral Angel’s CEO Anthony Norman was also the CEO of Trig (for a more detailed history refer to BehindMLM’s Viral Angels review).

Trig was tied to Viral Angels via the offering of virtual shares in Trig to Viral Angels affiliates.

Although Norman is not publicly fronting Angel Business Club, for all intents and purposes it appears to be a reboot of Viral Angels.

Viral Angels was primarily operated out of Sweden, with this likely also the actual base of operations for Angel Business Club.

There is no information on the Adz Firm website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Adz Firm website domain (“adzfirm.com”) was privately registered on December 25th, 2016.

The Adz Firm website is hosted on a private server, which also hosts the website for My Ads Family:

My Ads Family is a Ponzi scheme launched a few weeks ago. A recent affiliate newsletter claimed My Ads Family is a ‘sister site of ViralCrypto Team‘.

Viral Crypto is a cash gifting scheme launched a few months ago. Alexa traffic statistics suggest it began to collapse in early December.

My Ads Family doesn’t appear to have taken off, likely prompting the launch of Adz Firm.

Apex Adz is also hosted on the same private server and advertises a $3.75 ROI off a $2 investment.

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…]

There is no information on the Global Platinum Services website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The corporations MB Holidays LTD (UK) and PC Platinum Travel Inc. (US) appear in the Global Platinum Services website footer.

MB Holidays is actually “Xstream MB Holidays”. Jeremy Monte is listed as the sole Director of the company.

PC Platinum Travel is a registered corporation in Nevada, however I was unable to find any information as to its corporate structure.

Jeremy Monte (right), Xstream MB Holidays and PC Platinum Travel were all named defendants in a lawsuit recently filed by Paycation.

Paycation owner David Manning claims Monte and his companies have been raiding Paycation to build Global Platinum Services.

Monte himself is a former Paycation affiliate. On his LinkedIn profile he cites himself as CEO of Montbriar Inc. (I believe MB Holidays is an abbreviation for Montbriar Holidays).

Why Monte doesn’t list himself as an owner of Global Platinum Services on the company website is unclear.

Paycation had requested a Temporary Restraining Order against Global Platinum Services, however that doesn’t appear to have been granted.

Pending access to the case files, the current status of the Paycation lawsuit is unknown.

The OxyHelper website identifies Minga Garcia as owner of the company. Garcia purportedly is from the US.

A Facebook profile bearing the name Minga Garcia was created on two days ago on January 8th. Numerous photos of a woman have been batch uploaded, but otherwise there is no content on the profile.

The “about us” page of the OxyHelper website contains a message purportedly written by Garcia:

The word “stokvel” stood out because there are no stokvels in the US, it’s an African concept. I ran a search on the copy and discovered it was copy and pasted from ZarFund:

ZarFund is a bitcoin cash gifting scheme launched last August. Whether ZarFund is directly connected to OxyHelper is unclear.

What is clear however is that “Minga Garcia”, as represented on the OxyHelper website, probably doesn’t exist.

Other members of OxyHelper’s management contain stolen profile photos.

The most obvious is Steven L. Lowe, who is credited as a member of OxyHelper’s Support Team. The photo used to represent Lowe is actually that of musician David Gilmour.

A marketing video on the OxyHelper website is hosted on a YouTube account bearing the name “Oxy Helper”.

The account has three OxyHelper marketing videos uploaded to it, in Russian, Urdu and Hindi.

This strongly suggests whoever is running OxyHelper is of Russian or Indian origin.

In a public notice published yesterday, the Nigerian SEC has issued a warning against cryptocurrencies and pyramid schemes.

OneCoin, SwissCoin and Bitcoin are specifically singled out, with the SEC extending the warning to “such other virtual or digital currencies”. [Continue reading…]

The AdvClix website identifies a “Mr. Duffy” as CEO of the company.

Duffy is represented by an accounting themed stock cartoon image. His corporate bio meanwhile reads like it was written by someone who learnt English as a second language:

His devotion to his field of interest brings world’s all time greatest platform to change your life, to make it better, more luxurious and more comfortable, by doing very smart and easy work.

There’s a high probability that “Mr. Duffy” doesn’t actually exist.

The AdvClix website domain (“advclix.com”) was privately registered on June 30th, 2016.

With the exception of India, Alexa estimate four of the top five sources of traffic to the AdvClix website are in Africa.

There is no information on the BitLuna website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The BitLuna website domain (“bitluna.org”) was privately registered on November 14th, 2016.

The anonymous owners of BitLuna also operate LunaWallet and MiteFX. LunaWallet is used to store LunaCoins mined through BitLuna and MiteFX is an internal exchange.

The LunaWallet and MiteFX domain registrations are both set to private.

A voiceover on the BitLuna website claims the company is registered in the UK.

The Terms and Conditions of LunaWallet state:

LunaWallet is an online payment processor, registered and domiciled in the country of Seychelles, and are bound by the legal requirements of Seychelles.

It is extremely likely these are both shell company registrations.

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…]
