Ad Profitizer Review: 200% ROI Ad Pack Ponzi scheme

ad-profitizer-logoAd Profitizer was founded back in July and is operated by Nigel Dolgado from Portugal.

On the Ad Profitizer website Dolgado claims he has ‘been very involved in several online advertising programs since the year 2007‘.

I was not able to independently verify Dolgado’s claims. Outside of the information provided on the Ad Profitizer website, Dolgado doesn’t appear to exist.

Alexa currently estimate that Brazil is the largest source of traffic to the Ad Profitizer website (42%), suggesting this might actually be where Ad Profitizer is being run from.

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…]


My 24 Hour Income Review: 130% ROI adcredit Ponzi fraud

my-24-hour-income-logoMy 24 Hour Income launched a few months ago. Drew Burton and Faheem Rajput appear on the My 24 Hour Income website, however their specific roles within the company are not disclosed.

Drew Burton is based out of Canada and appears to be a serial MLM underbelly inhabitant.

drew-burton-my-24-hour-income-adminPrior to launching My 24 Hour Income Burton (right) was promoting Click Delivery (130% HYIP Ponzi scheme), Zukul Ad Network (adcredit Ponzi scheme), My Paying Ads (HYIP Ponzi scheme) and Fort Ad Pays (adcredit Ponzi scheme).

Fort Ad Pays collapsed on or around May 27th, 2016. In a Facebook post dated May 23rd, Burton boasted of having 305,760 investment positions within the company ($305,760).

Despite the collapse Burton continued to recruit new victims into the scheme. In a Facebook post dated June 22nd, Burton boasted of having “maxed out”  his Fort Ad Pays account with 407,647 investment positions.

According to Burton’s backoffice at the time he had stolen $149,105 from Fort Ad Pays victims. How much of that money he was able to withdraw is unclear (Fort Ad Pays suspended withdrawals in early May).

Burton went on to launch My 24 Hour Income a month later in July.

Faheem Rajput is based out of Pakistan and is currently busy promoting ZF Share, a 135% ROI Ponzi scheme he launched around the time Fort Ad Pays collapsed.

Evart Network Review: Renting streambox screens makes no sense

evart-network-logoThere is no information on the Evart Network website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Evart Network website domain (“evartnetwork.com”) was registered on the 8th of August 2016. “Evart Inc.” is listed as the owner, with an address in Glasgow, UK also provided.

Further research reveals this address actually belongs to Blue Square Offices. On their website Blue Square Offices sell UK-based business addresses for £14.99 a month.

This suggests Evart Network has no physical presence in the UK and exists there in name only.

Other corporate addresses provided on the Evart Network are in Latvija, Bulgaria and Estonia.

Alexa currently estimate  Poland (29.3%), Russia (27.1%) and Azerbaijan (14.9%) are the largest sources of traffic to the Evart Network website.

In all likelihood Evart Network is being operated from one of these three 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…]


My Cycler Review: $10 monthly subscription cycler Ponzi

my-cycler-logoThere is no information on the My Cycler website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The My Cycler website domain (“mycycler.com”) was registered on the 30th of September 2016. Emmanouil Sergakis is listed as the owner, with an address in Athens, Greece also provided.

manos-sergakis-ceo-owner-one-world-adsSergakis (right) first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar earlier this year as the admin of One World Ads.

One World Ads was a $20 a pop matrix-based pyramid scheme.

After initially launching in April One World Ads rebooted in August. Recruitment peaked in September and is now in decline.

The imminent collapse of One World Ads has likely promoted Sergakis to launch My Cycler.

Stable Revshare Review: $2 to $10 Adpack Ponzi fraud

stable-revshare-logoThe Stable Revshare website identifies Gill Gursevak as the admin of the company.

Gursevak appears to be from India, however a Facebook profile bearing the name “Gill Gursevak” appears to be bogus.

The only content in the profile is related to Stable Revshare and begins in late September. This is symptomatic of a fake profile created solely for promotion.

Interestingly enough, the official Stable Revshare Facebook group was created by a Facebook profile bearing the name “Gill Ryaan”.

The Gill Ryaan profile uses a st was created the same day as the Gill Gursevak profile (22nd September).

The Gill Ryaan profile uses a stolen photo of Nigel Wright of Converge Technology Specialists:

Evidently neither Gill Gursevak or Gill Ryaan actually exist.

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…]

eric-caprarese-ceo-president-bepicCaprarese (right) first appeared on BehindMLM back in 2013, as co-founder and CEO of Brain Abundance.
