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

The MLS Bitcoin Club website domain (“mlsbitcoinclub.com”) was registered on May 4th, 2017.

Darry Perkinson of WBI Enterprises LLC is listed as the owner, with an address in the US state of Georgia also provided.

MLS Bitcoin Club appears to have first launched about six months ago as MLS International BitCoin Club.

Prior to launching MLS International Bitcoin Club Perkinson (right) was promoting Conversion Pros, a lead generation business.

MLS stands for “Massive Leverage System”, a company Perkinson launched a while back.

On its website MLS claims to be a “private community” and promises to “deliver $10,000.00 (or more) in recurring income”.

MLS’ marketing pitch sees the company claim it teaches members how to

• build cash flow and create generational wealth through education
• rent out your stocks and
• buy & sell gold / cryptocurrency

It is assumed MLS Bitcoin Club forms part of MLS’ bitcoin offering.

Other MLM opportunities Perkinson has promoted include OneCoin (Ponzi scheme) and Karatbars International (pyramid scheme).

The trouble with MLM companies offering shares is that such undertakings are rarely done within the required legal framework.

If a new class-action lawsuit is to be believed, Visalus’ Founders Equity Incentive Plan is a typical example of why any internal MLM company share offering should be approached with nothing less than extreme caution. [Continue reading…]

Bit90x provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The Bit90x website domain (“bit90x.com”) was privately registered on April 17th, 2017.

Mindset 24 Global operate in the personal development MLM niche and are headed up by co-founder and CEO, Brian McLane.

Mindset 24 Global do not disclose who the other co-founders of the company area on their website.

A mailing address in the US state of Kentucky is provided, although whether this is where Mindset 24 Global is operated from or not is unclear.

In 2010 Brian McLane co-founded Bellamora International and served as Chief Marketing Officer.

Bellamora purportedly signed up over 50,000 affiliates during prelaunch, only to spectacularly collapse in 2011 following the departure of several key executives.

McLane (right) was one of those who left the company, and went on to promote $1000 A Week For Life with Kevin Harrington.

$1000 A Week For Life was a $49.95 matrix-based recruitment opportunity. Although it was marketed on its own name, $1000 A Week For Life was part of David Rosen’s Money Tree International.

Of note is Kevin Harrington featured as a “marketing partner” on the Mindset 24 Global website.

In 2015 McLane founded Safe ID Trust, an MLM company that marketed identity restoration and recovery services.

Today the Safe ID Trust website domain is non-responsive. The company’s official Facebook profile was wiped off the internet a few months ago.

My Club 8’s prelaunch compensation plan was a compliance mess.

Affiliates signed up and were paid to recruit affiliates, with an optional autoship further boosting recruitment commission rates.

Affiliates marketing My Club 8 claim when My Club 8 launches, the company will switch to a ‘new and improved Unilevel Compensation plan that pays 8 Levels in depth‘.

Until then, My Club 8’s prelaunch compensation plan is a blatant pyramid scheme.

Post launch My Club 8 did switch compensation plans, although the one referenced above was ditched at the end of April.

Today we take a look at and review My Club 8’s current MLM offering. [Continue reading…]
