There’s nothing new on the legal front so far this week, but that doesn’t mean events are quietly unfolding behind the scenes.

The latest has seen Charles Scoville disable comments on his Facebook page and provide an update in which he claims his “intentions” should trump committing Ponzi fraud.

Traffic Monsoon investors are also actively encouraging their downlines not to contact the court-appointed Receiver, suggesting an email might have been sent out to affiliates. [Continue reading…]

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

The Zonex Help website domain (“zonexhelp.com”) was registered on the 6th of July 2016, however the domain registration is set to private.

Zonex appears to be operated from either India or Indonesia. According to Alexa, both countries are currently the largest sources of traffic to the Zonex Help website (52.4% and 38% respectively).

The Zonex website currently is advertising a “soft launch”, scheduled to take place in Indonesia on August 14th.

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

The Traffic Powerline website domain was registered on the 4th of July 2016, however the domain registration is set to private.

In a Traffic Powerline presentation held in late July, Pearse Donnely revealed Traffic Powerline is ‘owned and operated by Mo Brabus Limited’.

Donnely (right) identifies himself as co-Director of Mo Brabus.

Mo Brabus is a an adcredit Ponzi scheme launched in early 2015.

Mo Brabus affiliates invest $5 on the promise of an advertised $6 ROI. Mo Brabus investments also pay a ROI through a matrix cycler.

There’s a whole load of *winkwink* we don’t know who’s running the new Traffic Monsoon website *nudgenudge* going around at the moment.

Perhaps none more comical than what Ernie Ganz is telling his fellow Traffic Monsoon investors.

Grab your popcorn folks… [Continue reading…]

If an MLM company wants to issue a press-release, the legitimate thing to do is publish it in your website and social media accounts. If they want a bit more exposure, they can even publish the information on the countless press-release syndication websites that exist.

What Free Mart have instead chosen to do is imitate BehindMLM, complete with a bogus website, comments and who knows what else.

This is scummy, even for MLM. [Continue reading…]

In what is probably only going to dig a deeper hole for Charles Scoville, scammers have launched a reboot of the Traffic Monsoon website.

We’re still waiting on official confirmation but pending several court filings in different US states today and last week, it is believed the court-appointed Receiver took control of the official Traffic Monsoon website. [Continue reading…]

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

The Mentoring Millionaires website domain (“mentoringmillionaires.net”) was first registered on the 17th of August 2015. The domain registration was recently updated on July 14th, 2016, suggesting this might be when the current owner(s) took possession of it.

The official Mentoring Millionaires Facebook group has two admins, Val Smyth and Tracey Jamieson.

Smyth first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar in 2015 as co-admin of Total Takeover.

Total Takeover was a relatively short-lived recruitment scheme. A few months after launch Total Takeover collapsed.

Later in the year Smyth returned with The Elite Networker, another recruitment-driven opportunity.

A visit to The Elite Networker site today reveals it has been redirected to a Valentus capture page belonging to Dave Lear (one of the co-admins of The Elite Networker).

When it launched last year, Tracey Jamieson was the Chief Operating Officer over at iTravel Party.

There is no information on the Bitcoin Money World website indicating who owns or runs the website.

The Bitcoin Money World website domain (“bmwcoins.org”) was registered on May 7th 2016, however the domain registration is set to private.

Alexa currently estimate that 87.4% of traffic to the Bitcoin Money World website originates out of Vietnam (47.8%) and Thailand (39.6%).

This strongly suggests that Bitcoin Money World is likely being operated from one of these two countries.

There is no information on the Just Ten Time website indication who owns or runs the business.

The Just Ten Time website domain (“justtentime.com”) was registered on the 19th of July 2016, however the domain registration is set to private.

The My Earnings FAQ states that the company is ‘own(ed) by Mike Seacrest and Eric Chin‘.

A marketing video on the My Earnings website is hosted on a YouTube channel bearing the name “Kevin Icecreast”.

I wasn’t able to find any information on Mike Seacrest, but Eric Chin and Kevin Icecreasts’s Facebook profiles are bogus.

Kevin Icecreast’s profile photo is that of the director Kevin Smith. Eric Chin’s Facebook profile uses a photo of Kevin Marks, a former Google employee.

The Eric Chin Facebook profile popped up earlier this year in conjunction with Progmatic AdsPaid, a Ponzi scheme launched in January.

At the time of publication the Progmatic AdsPaid website domain was unresponsive, suggesting the scheme has collapsed.

A fourth name appears in the My Earnings domain registration. The My Earnings domain was registered on March 8th 2016 and lists Michael Dwen as the owner.

An address in Belize is also provided, with further research revealing it to belong to International Corporate Services.

International Corporate Services advise on their website that they provide shell companies in Belize for $650.

Realistically there’s a good chance the bogus Facebook profiles attached to My Earnings’ admins belong to the same person.
