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

The Pays Forever website domain (“paysforever.com”) was first registered on the 22nd of April 2003. The registration details were recently updated on the 15th of April, 2016, suggesting this is when the current owner(s) took possession of the domain.

The current Pays Forever domain registration details are set to private, revealing no information about who owns the company.

If a visitor to the Pays Forever website clicks the “order now” button, they are redirected to an order form headed “Skyline Marketing & Design”.

A link for Skyline Marketing & Design appears on the footer of the page, which redirects to the website “Partners in Success”.

Further research reveals the Pays Forever website is hosted on the same private server as a number of Partners in Success related domains.

Partners in Success is owned by ‘Charles & Susan Truett from the beautiful Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee‘.

The Partners in Success website is basically a lead generation tool for the Truetts (right), designed to funnel visitors into various income opportunities.

The current “#1 Rated Home Business” on the Partners In Success redirects to a capture page that promises to show people how to ‘earn thousands of dollars every month on complete autopilot‘.

Earlier today I was contacted by Volishon’s attorney, who advised that BehindMLM’s initial review of Volishon, dated December 17th, 2015, was inaccurate.

Upon receiving the email, I had a look into Volishon’s compensation plan and confirmed that it had indeed changed.

Today we go over Volishon’s current compensation plan, as per a June 22nd “The Compensation Plan” video uploaded to the official Volishon YouTube channel. [Continue reading…]

There is no information on the 2Point4Daily website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The 2Point4Daily website domain (“2point4daily.com”) was registered on May 5th 2016, however the domain registration is set to private.

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…]

Citing policy violations, Hanover Insurance Company refused to cover Vemma’s legal fees with respect to the FTC lawsuit filed against them.

In response, Vemma filed for a preliminary injunction that would force Hanover to

reimburse them for their defense expenses to date and, going forward, paying their expenses within ten days of receiving invoices until the applicable policy limits are exhausted.

On July 29th Vemma’s motion was denied. [Continue reading…]

There is no information on the Pays4Ever website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Pays4Ever website domain (“pays4ever.com”) was registered on the 26th of January 2013. Tom Taylor is listed as the owner, with an address in Cebu, Philippines also provided.

Tom Taylor (right) first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as the admin of UltimateAdClub back in February of 2015. Taylor then again popped up in March, 2015 as the admin of MegaCyclerClub.

UltimateAdClub saw affiliates purchase $50 matrix positions and get paid to recruit others who did the same. A lack of interest in the scheme saw the matrix positions later reduced to $30.

MegaCyclerClub similarly saw affiliates purchase $50 matrix positions, on the promise of an advertised $650 ROI.

In June, 2o15 Taylor launched Residual Income Ads, which saw affiliates buy in for $10 a month and then get paid to recruit new affiliates.

Residual Income Ads was followed up by Mega 2×7 in July. Mega 2×7 saw affiliates pay $50 for a matrix position and get paid on the recruitment of new affiliates.

A visit to the Mega2x7 website today reveals the domain is parked, suggesting the scheme has long since collapsed.

Ethereum is ‘a public blockchain-based distributed computing platform, featuring smart contract functionality‘ (Wikipedia).

In a nutshell, third-parties can use the Ethereum platform to create applications that use blockchain technology and its Ether cryptocurrency.

Ethereum is currently the second biggest cryptocurrency in the world, with a market cap of $951 million and $11.53 value.

Naturally you’d expect developers behind the Ethereum to know a thing or two about cryptocurrency.

According to one Ethereum developer, “OneCoin is a pure scam”. [Continue reading…]

Witness testimony of Charles Scoville was taken by the SEC on May 17th at their Utah office.

Scoville was not represented by legal counsel. He was given the option to adjourn his testimony if he wished to obtain counsel but did not act on it.

Scoville’s wife Samera Hussain was present, although not permitted to testify as she was officially not a witness.

Prior to the May 17th meeting, Scoville (right) had met with the SEC on April 25th.

Scoville was questioned at this meeting and the SEC recorded it as part of their investigation.

Despite knowing the SEC was investigating Traffic Monsoon for over three months before they shut it down, Scoville never disclosed the investigation to Traffic Monsoon affiliates.

Scoville’s testimony comes in at 190 pages and covers a wide-range of topics pertaining to how he designed, set up and operated Traffic Monsoon.

Below you’ll find points of interest in Scoville’s testimony, which I’ve placed under appropriate headers. Bold represents questions from the SEC, Scoville’s answers have been left unformatted. [Continue reading…]
