B-Epic Prelaunch Review: Brain Abundance lack of retail focus again?

bepic-logoThere is no information on the B-Epic website specifically identifying who owns or runs the business.

Our team of leading industry professionals have been in the MLM industry for over 20 years, and are bringing all of their experience to your fingertips.

The B-Epic website domain (“bepic.com”) was first registered back in 2014. The domain registration was recently updated on the 17th of August, 2016, suggesting this is when the current owner(s) took possession of it.

Further research reveals Eric Caprarese identifying himself as President and CEO of B-Epic on his LinkedIn profile.

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

Today the Brain Abundance website is still online, however Alexa traffic estimates show a continued decline throughout 2016.

According to word on the grapevine, Caprarese sold his share in Brain Abundance earlier this year.

Prior to launching Brain Abundance, Caprarese was involved in A.L. Williams & Associates (now Primerica),  PureNRG FX and Blue Bird Bids Ponzi scheme.

2×4 Club Review: Four tier bitcoin-based cash gifting

2x4-club-logoThere is no information on the 2×4 Club website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The 2×4 Club website domain (“2x4club.com”) was registered on the 11th of October 2016, however the domain registration is set to private.

Alexa currently estimates that India is the largest source of traffic to the 2×4 Club website (30%). This strongly suggests that the admin(s) running 2×4 Club are also based out India.

 

Update 27th November 2016 – BehindMLM’s The Dollar Sharing review has revealed Krzysztof Tymoteusz is the owner of 3×2 Core. /end update

 

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…]

telexfree-logoAfter a failed bid to delay his trial until November 14th, James Merrill’s criminal proceedings were scheduled to kick off on November 8th.

Rather than attempt to clear his name and business dealings through TelexFree, it now appears that an eleventh hour plea deal has been struck.

This coming Monday, James Merrill is expected to plead guilty. [Continue reading…]



OneCoin payment delays triggered by Hong Kong account closure

onecoin-logoAlmost immediately after news of OneCoin’s Hong Kong bank account being shut broke, the company pushed out an announcement about payment delays.

In light of ongoing closures, OneCoin had opened an account with China Construction Bank (Asia) Corporation Limited using the shell company name Foshan Everbright Import & Export Company Limited.

Two weeks later the account was abruptly terminated. To date OneCoin haven’t informed affiliates whether the account was shut down by Hong Kong police, the bank or the two working together.

What we do know however is that OneCoin affiliates can now expect long withdrawal delays. [Continue reading…]


Lion Streams Review: Overpriced stream box & Ponzi ROIs

lion-streams-logoThere is no information on the Lion Streams website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Lion Streams website domain (“lionstreams.com”) was registered on the 13th of November 2015, however the domain registration is set to private.

Alexa currently estimate that 95% of traffic to the Lion Stream website originates out of the US. This strongly suggests that whoever is running Lion Streams is also based out of the US.

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…]


Traffic N Bitcoin Review: Four tier bitcoin-based cash gifting

traffic-n-bitcoin-logoThere is no information on the Traffic N Bitcoin website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Traffic N Bitcoin website domain (“trafficnbitcoin.com”) was registered on the 6th of October 2016, however the domain registration is set to private.

If you visit the Traffic N Bitcoin website without a referer ID, the website informs you that you have been “invited by TrafficN Bitcoin”.

If you click the “register” button at the top of the page, “UNNIKRISHNAN G R” comes up as the referring affiliate.

This is not a randomly assigned affiliate, as the referer ID remains constant even when Chrome’s incognito mode (or other browser equivalent).

Seeing as “TrafficN Bitcoin” is obviously an admin account, it follows that “Unnikrishnan G R” is running the company.

unnikrishnan-gr-traffic-n-bitcoin-adminUnnikrishnan (right) however doesn’t appear to be working alone.

A post on Unnikrishnan’s Facebook profile dated October 12th, quoting Rozario Claudio, reads;

Hey Friends I am excited to inform you that I am going to own a matrix website of my own.

I am a partner with network marketing leaders like JO Sues, Raphel Rock, Abi Jith, Lavanya Sharath, Alena David, Bibin Aliasareeckal, Unnikrishnan GR, Akhil Kumar, Arun Kumar & Simon Hykins.

To get into the matrix at early stage during the launch itself; Comment on this post. I will add you to our secret fb group during prelaunch itself. Website launching will be probably on Wednesday or Thursday. Thanks.

Claudio’s quoted post is dated October 9th. Traffic N Bitcoin launched on October 12th, the Wednesday quoted in Claudio’s post.

As far as I can tell, all of the named Traffic N Bitcoin admins above are serial participants in MLM underbelly schemes.

Prior to launching Traffic N Bitcoin Unnikrishnan was promoting Matrix War, an eight-tier cash gifting scheme.

The Italian bank account was opened up with Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena on or around September 21st. Twenty-four hours or so later and it was gone.

Now it appears the OneCoin’s Hong Kong bank account has also been closed. [Continue reading…]


Crowd Cycler Review: Five-tier $235 ROI Ponzi cycler

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

The Crowd Cycler website domain (“crowdcycler.com”) was registered on the 5th of October 2016. Eric Lant is listed as the owner, with an address in Brussels Belgium also provided.

The official Crowd Cycler Facebook page lists Jose Filho as the sole admin of the group.

jose-filho-crowd-cycler-adminFilho (right) is based out of Brazil and in emails sent out to affiliates refers to Crowd Cycler in the possessive.

Filho himself appears to be running the company, with details provided in the Crowd Cycler domain registration appearing to be bogus.

Earlier this year Filho was promoting Ad Profitizer, a 4% daily ROI Ponzi scheme.

USI-Tech Review: Automated forex platform & recruitment

usi-tech-logoThere is no information on the USI-Tech website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The USI-Tech website domain (“usi-tech.info”) was registered on the 23rd of June, 2016. Joao Severino is listed as the owner of the domain, with an address in Portugal also provided.

Possibly due to language barriers, I was unable to put together an MLM history on Severino.

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…]
