XinHua For You started out as Formor International.

Back in 2015 the company entered a joint-venture partnership with their Chinese supplier, Changsha Xin Quan Xin Lin Biologic Nutrient Supplement Co., LTD.

As per a blog post on the Formor International website;

The name of the newly formed joint-venture company is XinHua International Biological, LLC, operating under the trade name XinHua for You.

We are finalizing the joint-venture by merging the existing ForMor product line and compensation plan into XinHua. ForMor International will now be known as XinHua for You.

Why the joint-venture took two years to put together is unclear. It clearly isn’t finished though, with the Formor International website still up and various social media profiles still using the Formor name and branding.

Even XinHua-branded media is mostly hosted on the old Formor International website domain.

The face behind XinHua For You is founder He Shu Jin.

XinHua For You corporate bio refers to He as a “highly successful business man”.

He was born in a small, farming village in central China, He learned to work hard and value his education. As a young man, he left his small village to find a good job and be able to better support his family.

Because of his strong work ethic, his ability to solve problems, and his leadership ability, he quickly rose to become the head of Ansu, Ltd, a publicly-traded company on the Schenzen Exchange in China.

Then, he founded Hunan Xinhua Pharmacy, Ltd in Changsha, China. This company is a pharmaceutical manufacturing company which supplies over 20,000 retail outlets all over China.

In addition to pharmaceutical products, Xinhui produces traditional Chinese medicines, plant extracts, and much more.

The Chinese government uses many of the processes and procedures Mr. He developed as the standard of excellence by which other companies are measured.

In 2014, he founded, XinHua for You, LLC., an Arkansas-based nutritional supplement company.

Formor International itself was founded back in 1996 by Stan Goss.

On the management side of things, XinHua For You is run by CEO Michael Goss. Michael Goss is the son of Stan Goss and served as President of Formor International.

Having joined the then family business, I don’t believe Goss has an MLM history outside of Formor International and now XinHua For You.

Nerium is involved in so many lawsuits at the moment that I’m finding it difficult to keep track of them all.

There’s the Dennis Windsor lawsuit, the Modere lawsuit, the “chemical burns & disfigurement” lawsuit….

One that slipped through the cracks update wise was the Nerium Skincare lawsuit, filed in August, 2015. [Continue reading…]

It takes a certain type of character to front online Ponzi schemes that rip people off for millions of dollars each year.

Sadly it comes as little surprise to learn one of Traffic Monsoon’s prolific cheerleaders has a history of domestic violence. [Continue reading…]

There is no information on the Millions 4 Sure website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Millions 4 Sure website domain (“millions4sure.com”) was registered on January 3rd, 2017. LaTasha Miles is listed as the owner, with a residential address in the US state of California also provided.

I was unable to find any information on LaTasha Miles, with respect to Millions 4 Sure or MLM in general. This raises doubts as to whether or not she actually exists.

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…]

There is no information on the Just Got Bitcoin website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Just Got Bitcoin website domain (“justgotbitcoin.com”) was registered on January 18th, 2017. Optimus Dale is listed as the owner, with an address in the US state of Arkansas also provided.

Optimus Dale is an alias of Sherm Mason.

Mason first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as the admin of Magnetic Builder.

Magnetic Builder was a $29.95 recruitment scheme launched in 2011.

In 2015 Mason (right), launched at least five dubious schemes:

• Paradise Payments (February 2015) – a $2 to $1000 cash gifting scheme
• Magnetic Gratitude (April 2015) – a $580 matrix-based Ponzi scheme
• Summer Fun Matrix (July 2015) – a $22 three-tier Ponzi scheme and
• 3×9 Millionaire Machine (September 2015) – a $3 in, $435 million dollars out Ponzi scheme
• Instant Pay Christmas (November 2015) – a $5 to $800 cash gifting scheme

In 2016 Mason doubled down on his efforts and launched Elite Pay Alliance (matrix-based cash gifting), 5 Dolla Money Lines (pass-up chain-recruitment), Adstraordinary (matrix-based cash gifting) and Cash Rally GPS (Ponzi cycler).

Last month Mason launched Easy Odds, an $11 gifting scheme. Easy Odds doesn’t appear to have collapsed yet, so why Mason is launching Just Got Bitcoin so soon is unclear.

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

The Heavenly Pay website domain (“heavenlypay.com”) was registered on January 14th, 2016. Randy Garrard is listed as the owner, with an address in the US state of Kansas also provided.

Randy Garrard (right) first appeared on BehindMLM’s radar in 2015, as admin of the cash gifting scam Residual Income in a Box.

In 2016 Garrard launched the 5 Dollar Leveraging System Ponzi cycler, which was followed up by a reboot of Residual Income in a Box.

The MMM Returns website brands the opportunity as a “Sergey Mavrodi venture”.

I am Sergey Panteleevich Mavrodi, legal professor and administrator for an [sic] self sustaining owned global social financial revolution system called MMM Returns.

Mavrodi is a convicted felon who first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar in 2015.

Through MMM Global, Mavrodi (right) scammed millions of dollars out of people until the Ponzi scheme collapsed in April, 2016.

Various local chapters of the scam have sprung up and collapsed in China, South Africa, Asia (India), Zimbabwe and Nigeria.

Nigeria was the last “major” MMM Ponzi launch. After collapsing last December the scheme rebooted in January. Existing investors have since been shafted in favor of promising ROI payments on new investment.

Needless to say affiliate recruitment isn’t doing to well, with MMM Returns an attempt to restart yet another iteration of MMM Global.

Fusion Bit initially launched last December as a pyramid scheme. Affiliates paid $5 or $25 when they signed up and were paid to recruit others who did the same.

This model collapsed shortly after launch, with Fusion Bit relaunching in February.

Who is running the company is still not disclosed and the Fusion Bit website domain registration remains anonymous.

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…]

There is no information on the Cycles of Wealth website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Cycles of Wealth website domain (“cyclesofwealth.com”) was privately registered on January 31st, 2017.

The official Cycles of Wealth Facebook group lists Cosmos Garcia as the sole admin.

There is no content on the Cosmos Garcia account. The profile photo used to represent Cosmos Garcia is stolen and actually that of Hazel Inskip, a member of the Cosmos Project Scientific Advisory Group.

Needless to say “Cosmos Garcia” doesn’t exist and the Facebook account is likely purchased.

There is no information on the Pays 2×5 website identifying who owns or runs the company.

The Pays 2×5 website domain (“pays2x5.com”) was privately registered on January 11th, 2017.

The marketing pitch on the Pays 2×5 website appears to have been lazily copy and pasted from Pays4Ever:

Pays4Ever is a micro Ponzi cycler launched mid 2016 by Tom Taylor. Despite the name, Alexa ranking suggest Pays4Ever began to collapse around last November.

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.

Mega 2×7 collapsed shortly after launch and with Pays4Ever also on the way out, Taylor is back with Pays 2×5.
