Garrard first appeared on BehindMLM last year as the owner of Residual Income In a Box (RIIAB).

Through RIIAB, Garrard (right) funneled people under him in various MLM underbelly schemes.

There is no information on The Perfect Circle website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Perfect Circle website domain (“globalprelaunch.com”) was registered on the 26th of April 2016, with James Platzer listed as the owner. An address in Leobersdorf, Austria is also provided.

Despite this, The Perfect Circle website states that an “official kick off” will be held on ‘1st of July 2016 (in) New Delhi, India‘.

Things get even more suspicious when you consider The Perfect Circle identify themselves as a Singaporean company in their website footer:

All Rights Reserved By The Perfect Circle PLC Singapore.

Back in Europe, Alexa currently estimate that 61% of all traffic to The Perfect Circle website originates out of the Czech Republic.

Promotional videos on the official Perfect Circle website are available in English, Hindi and Czech.

Austria, India, Singapore or the Czech Republic. Take your pick.

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 elephant in the room regarding OneCoin’s upcoming “CoinRush” event, is the yet to be announced venue.

Despite not knowing where in London the CoinRush will be held, OneCoin are charging affiliates up to €200 EUR for tickets.

Unconfirmed word on the grapevine is that top OneCoin downline group, “One Dream Team”, were first to announce the venue as Wembley Arena;

Wembley Arena is a 12,500 capacity indoor stadium in northwest London.

One Dream Team’s announcement was premature, with OneCoin top investors later claiming the venue had yet to be chosen.

Whether this means OneCoin approached Wembley Arena management and were later turned down is unclear. OneCoin corporate have maintained radio silence on the issue.

What we do know is One Dream Team house some of the highest earning investors in the scheme. They have access to OneCoin management so it’s strange they’d rush to announce incorrect information.

As the CoinRush event draws closer, OneCoin yesterday announced the launch of a “CoinRush London” website.

Aimed at providing OneCoin investors with information about the upcoming event, the “location” section of the website is marked “to be announced”.

The footer of the website reveals the site was designed by DotSlave, a “web design and development” company.

The CoinRush London website domain however is registered to Yuliana Nakova of “Simbol Media Grup” (English name: Symbol Media Group).

Symbol Media Group are a Bulgarian-based public relations firm, of which DotSlave is a component of.

Interesting… [Continue reading…]

There is no information on the Rush Opportunity website specifically identifying who owns or operates the business.

The company simply states on its website that it is being run by “The Dream Chasers” ‘in conjunction with All In One Profits‘.

The Rush Opportunity website domain (“therushopportunity.com”) was registered on the 23rd of December 2015, with Amos Brazan listed as the owner. An address in the US state of Tennessee is also provided.

On his Facebook page, Brazan (right) claims he ‘started working (as) Co Founder of The Dream Chasers Inc.‘ also in December of 2015.

Prior to launching The Rush Opportunity, Brazan was an affiliate with World Team Builder.

World Team Builder was a downline builder for anonymous admins to feed affiliates into shady MLM underbelly schemes.

Launched in June of 2015, World Team Builder collapsed a few months later in September.

Given The Rush Opportunity funnels participants into All In One Profits, it appears Brazan was heavily influenced by his time in World Team Builder.

A few weeks ago we ran a story examining the murky origins of OneCoin.
