Following the collapse of MMM Nigeria a few months ago, it was estimated that some 3 million Nigerians together lost $57 million dollars.

Following a criminal complaint filed by two affiliates, now one MMM Nigeria affiliate is facing up to fifteen years in prison. [Continue reading…]

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

The Future Matrix website domain (“futurematrix.biz”) was privately registered on March 29th, 2017.

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…]

8 Figure Dream Lifestyle provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business. In fact as I write this, the 8 Figure Dream Lifestyle website is nothing more than an affiliate login form.

The 8 Figure Dream Lifestyle website domain (“8figuredreamlifestyle.com”) was privately registered on August 22nd, 2016.

A site-wide search of the 8 Figure Dream Lifestyle revealed the company’s Terms and Conditions, which reference the company Tidom;

At the discretion of 8 Figure Dream Lifestyle, any prior licensee of the “Tidom” program with a license to use Tidom granted from any 8 Figure Dream partner prior to October 7th, 2016, may be entitled to transfer their license and admin fee to 8 figure dream lifestyle without penalty.

Tidom Inc. is owned by Scott Miller (right), as uncovered in our review of 22K Collective.

22K Collective was a cash gifting scheme launched in 2015. Today the 22K Collective website domain is unresponsive.

In addition to launching 22K Collective, Miller was heavily involved in the $1.8 billion dollar Ponzi scheme, TelexFree. He was also an affiliate of MyNyloxin.

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

The Ueconomy website domain (“ueconomy.com”) was privately registered on March 12th, 2017.

Further research reveals Ueconomy affiliates naming Peter Wolfing as owner of the company. Perusal of Wolfing’s social media profiles reveals Ueconomy marketing.

It seems Wolfing’s original name for the company was “E-Economy” back in April:

Peter Wolfing first appeared on BehindMLM’s radar back in 2012, as the admin of Turbo Cycler ($200-$1000 matrix-based Ponzi scheme).

Other MLM underbelly schemes launched by Wolfing over the years include Turbo Cycler (cash gifting), Ultimate Cycler (Ponzi cycler), Business Toolbox (chain-recruitment), Infinity 100 (cash gifting), National Wealth Center (cash gifting) and Pay Me Forward (cash gifting).

Despite being launched in 2013 and long-since collapsed, in 2016 Ultimate Cycler Ultimate was revived by Nigerian scammers. Wolfing redesigned the Ultimate Cycler website to cater to Nigerian affiliates and rode the wave.

Alexa traffic estimates for the Ultimate Cycler website reveal recruitment stalled early March, likely prompting a collapse. This is likely why Wolfing is launching yet another MLM underbelly scheme.

The interrogation of Indian OneCoin affiliates in custody continues to pay off, with a continuing investigation by the Mumbai EOW leading to two more arrests.

While OneCoin is notorious for laundering money through shell companies at a corporate level, the Indian investigation is revealing how things work on the ground. [Continue reading…]

The Coin Nuggets website identifies Michael Weber, CEO of I-Affiliate Marketing Inc., as owner of the company.

Weber first appeared on BehindMLM in 2015 as admin of the X100K pyramid scheme.

After collapsing a number of times X100K was abandoned in early 2016. Weber (right) returned later in the year with PIF2Cash, a Ponzi cycler.

Alexa traffic estimates for the PIF2Cash website suggest the scheme began to collapse in February.

Hustle With Us provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.

The Hustle With Us website domain (“hustlewithus.com”) was registered on August 26th, 2016. Dawn Newman is listed as the owner, with an address in the US state of California also provided.

The Hustle With Us domain registration details appear to be bogus, with the domain originally using DNS name-servers connected to Xtreme Pro System:

Xtreme Pro System was a Ponzi scheme launched by Johnny Ganoza back in 2014.

In February 2015 the SEC shut down Achieve Community, a similar matrix cycler Ponzi scheme. A week later Ganoza (right) announced Xtreme Pro System was ditching its cycler Ponzi model.

Needless to say that decision marked the end of the scheme.

A reader request then saw me review Ganoza’s Average Joe Profit System in mid 2015.

Average Joe Profit System itself however was launched prior to Xtreme Profit System. The scheme saw $202,500 ROIs offered on $5 investments.

After Xtreme Profit System, Ganoza went on to launch PowerPost Profits in September, 2015.

That lasted a few weeks, with The PLR System launched a few months later in November.

The PLR System was a cash gifting scheme operated via a matrix cycler.

Two reboot scams, The $100 System and The PLR System v2 were launched in 2016.

In January this year Ganoza returned with Post 2 Profits, a reboot of his PowerPost Profits gifting scheme.

Alexa traffic statistics for the Post 2 Profits website suggest the scam has already collapsed.

A marketing video on the Best Easy Work website features Martin Ruiz, a “website owner” from “Deltona, Florida”.

The video is hosted on a YouTube channel bearing the name “Admin Support”, which features a number of similar Best Easy Work marketing videos.

The Best Easy Work website domain (“besteasywork.com”) was registered on July 8th, 2016. Martin Ruiz is listed as the owner, with an address in Deltona, Florida also provided.
