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

The IGOFX website domain (“igofx.com”) was first registered on August 13th, 2012.

The domain registration were last updated on February 16th, 2017. The IGOFX domain registration is set to private, providing no information on who owns it.

Under the company name “IGO Global Limited”, IGOFX have registered themselves as a “dealer in securities” in Vanuatu.

That IGOFX have used a shell company to register with the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission is highly suspicious.

Alexa currently estimate that Malaysia is the largest source of traffic to the IGOFX domain (55%). China is the second largest source of traffic coming in at 19%.

It is highly likely that whoever is running IGOFX is based out of Malaysia.

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…]

The iPro Network website provides no information about where the company is based out of. It does however name Armando Contreras as iPro Network’s CEO.

Curiously, the iPro Network website claims Contreras (right) has owned ‘multinational businesses in various industries Travel, Insurance, IT, and Live Event Conference‘. He also purportedly ‘over 15 years experience in direct sales industry‘.

Yet I couldn’t find anything about Contreras non-MLM or MLM businesses. That’s pretty strange for “over 15 years” of network marketing experience.

I’m not saying Contreras’ corporate bio is completely made up, but the lack of verifiable third-party information (or even a professional footprint) is highly suspicious.

There is no information on the 2by3 Matrix Club website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The 2by3 Matrix Club website domain (“2by3matrix.club”) was privately registered on February 17th, 2017.

A 2×2 Matrix Club that appears to have used the same backend was launched earlier this month. 2by3 Matrix Club appears to be run by the same admin(s).

Alexa statistics for the 2by2 Matrix Club website suggest the launch was a flop. This likely promoted the launch of 2by3 Matrix Club.

There is no information on the Infinity BTC website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Infinity BTC website domain (“infinitybtc.com”) was registered on January 6th, 2017. Jairo Enrique Cruz Feria of “Webzone Colombia” is listed as the owner, with an address in Satandar, Colombia also provided.

Webzone Colombia appears to be Colombian web design company. The Infinity BTC website uses Webzone Colombia’s name-servers, however whether Feria owns Infinity BTC or is just working for whoever does is unclear.

The one person who might have led authorities to Manoj Kumar’s stashed Ponzi funds, has been granted bail.

Renu Sharma, wife of Manoj, was arrested by authorities last October. In January the EOW filed a chargesheet against Renu, accusing her of laundering over a hundred million USD.

Renu was a signatory and Director of Tulsiyat Tek Pvt Ltd, Tulsient Information Systems Pvt Ltd and Seven Rings Education Pvt Ltd, all of which were used to launder Speak Asia investor funds.

The EOW alleged that since 2003 the group along with another accused, Ramnivas Pal, and others were involved in floating different fraudulent schemes in Mumbai.

The agency said that the directors would receive money from investors, keep it in Tulsiyat’s bank account and later transfer it to SpeakAsia’s Singapore account.

The EOW claimed Renu was the authorized signatory and Rs 710 crore ($106,454,773 USD) was laundered from India to Singapore from a company in which she was a director.

In what is probably the second biggest facepalm ruling from Indian courts in the Speak Asia case, Renu Sharma was granted bail because she was working as a full-time teacher. [Continue reading…]

Relationships between scammers are fickle at best. Throw in a bit of Ponzi greed, potentially millions of dollars and a list of people who’ve bought into math-breaking ROI lie, and all bets are off.

As a result of the SEC lawsuit against Traffic Monsoon last year, owner Charles Scoville had his assets frozen. Rather than get an honest job to support himself in the meantime, Scoville sought out donations to fund his legal defense. [Continue reading…]

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

The CryptoMaxx website domain (“cryptomaxx.com”) was privately registered on February 10th, 2017.

The CryptoMaxx website domain currently uses name-servers hosted on the Crypto Mafia server. This requires admin permissions, meaning CryptoMaxx is being run by the same people behind Crypto Mafia:

This is further confirmed by a visit to the Crypto Mafia website, which now redirects to CryptoMaxx.

Crypto Mafia was a bitcoin gifting scheme launched in early January. Facebook postings connected it to “Millionaire Mafia”, a company owned by Ben Oberg (right).

Oberg was still personally promoting Crypto Mafia up until early February, at which point it was relaunched as CryptoMaxx.
