KDK Trade Charity Club are based out of the UK and launched on February 28th.

Identified as CEO of KDK Trade Charity Club on their website is Kwaku Damete-kumi (whose initials form the company name).

As per Damete-kumi’s KDK Trade Charity Club bio;

My passion is helping people make money online by starting their own business. I was born in Ghana and for the past 17 years, I have lived in the UK.

Recently, in 2009 I was called to be an evangelist preacher. The part of my calling – to help others – is what I take the most pride in with regards to helping those in need, especially with their business.

I promise to impart to you what I have learned from my 11 years of networking as we build our team. Let’s make money together!

Damete-kumi  appears to have a penchant for Ponzi schemes, with promotional material for RevShareNow ($2 to $40 HYIP Ponzi scheme),  Unascos (formerly uFun Club), Fort Ad Pays, iCharity Club (Ponzi-based cash gifting), Global Currency Reserve and MMM Global (MMM Ghana) recently appearing on his Facebook account.

By all accounts, 2015 was a great year for Bazi Hassan in MOBE.

In May Hassan shared his success story in a promotional video for MOBE, celebrating his qualification for a free luxury car.

I’ve been in this industry for about four years now, and I’m going to be completely honest with you guys.

For my first three years I struggled. I lost money. I was broke. I was learning from the wrong mentors. I was joining the wrong companies. I was buying bogus traffic. I was falling for “get rich quick” schemes.

So much things guys, but I did not give up… and I’m so glad that I found MOBE.

MOBE showed me the direct path to get successful online. And with the help of Matt Lloyd and his coaches, I was pointed in the right direction.

In 2015 Hassan referred to himself as a “top earner” in MOBE and claimed to have earned over $470,000 in commissions.

By January 2016 however, Hassan’s experience in and feeling about MOBE had drastically changed. [Continue reading…]

A lawsuit filed by Nu Skin shareholders against the company appears to be drawing to a conclusion.

The class-action lawsuit was filed in February 2014, accusing Nu Skin of  misleading investors about the legality of its operations in China.

Chinese media reported suspicions Nu Skin was operating a pyramid scheme in January 2014. A subsequent investigation by Chinese authorities saw Nu Skin fined $781,000.

The class-action lawsuit has been quietly playing out over the past two years, with news yesterday of a potential $47 million dollar settlement.

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

The VidesVendo website domain (“videsvendo.com”) was registered on the 3rd of February 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…]

My Advertising Pays is in trouble.

The scheme just ticked over the average two-year collapse mark, and recruitment of new investors has all but bottomed out:

For a Ponzi scheme that requires a constant stream of new investment to pay existing investors out with, this is a disaster.

In an attempt to distract their investors from the obvious, My Advertising Pays started crapping on about “My Advertising Pays v2.0” back in October last year.

That’s gone nowhere and so Deese and the gang need something new to distract their investors with. Cue threats of a lawsuit against Tara Talks. [Continue reading…]

Somebody’s getting bank for their buck. Fast Cash Matrix is the third MLM opportunity launch to use the same design template in as many months.

The red on yellow design with cringy stock group photograph was first used by 1MillionFast in December, 2015. Last month saw 3to600 resurrect the template and now Fast Cash Matrix has done it again.

There is no information on the Fast Cash Matrix website disclosing who owns or runs the business.

The Fast Cash Matrix website domain (“fastcashmatrix.com”) was registered on the 22nd of February 2016, however the domain registration is set to private.

Of note is that Fast Cash Matrix sounds pretty similar to Fast Money Matrix, a matrix cycler scheme we reviewed last week. Despite the similarities in naming however, I was unable to find any definitive link between the two companies.

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…]

Despite a report in The Wall Street Journal claiming ‘government investigations cleared the company of allegations of having a fraudulent business model‘ earlier this month, Herbalife has revealed otherwise in its latest public filing. [Continue reading…]

Upon initial inspection, GetMyAds doesn’t pass the sniff test.

The GetMyAds website domain was anonymously registered on the 4th of December 2015, with the opportunity officially launching earlier this year.

According to the GetMyAds website, Frank Hanson is the CEO and Founder of the company.

Hanson lists his location as the US Virgin Islands on his Facebook profile, which is presumably where GetMyAds is being run out of.

Hanson’s GetMyAdsAs corporate bio is little more than a marketing spiel, but his Facebook profile does provide some actual information.

Frank Hanson is the CEO and founder of ‘GetMyAds’ Online Business, a multi-million business enterprise who was crafted from scratch by this very young visionary-entrepreneur.

This 33-year old budding entrepreneur transformed a meager borrowed capital into a corporate wonder with global reach.

This business prodigy, named Morgan Lewis, was just an unassuming business savvy individual who got what it takes to make a big splash in the ‘uncharted waters’ of the online ads business.

No one have had an inkling that this son of a Venezuelan vagabond and an ordinary factory worker would soon become one of the most sought-after business wizard in the ads business particularly in the online world.

A school drop-out at a tender young age of eight years old only, he worked his way to survival by joining the ranks of beggars in downtown Los Angeles.

Notwithstanding his mendicancy, he worked as a part-time assistant to a famed computer graphic artist in downtown LA.

He burned the midnight oil until he became an expert in such field under the guidance of such tech-wizard.

Soon it became evident that his talents have surpassed the expectations of his mentor. Their amazing tandem of talents and self-determination brought them to a computer talents exhibition show where it showcased the best talents in the business.

Their exhibit caught the eye of a visionary billionaire who soon funded their proposed enterprise with just a meager capital to jump-start their fledgling business and transformed it into what it is today, one of the giants in the highly-competitive online ads industry.

Really? Since the GetMyAds domain was registered two months ago, the company is now “a giant” in the online ad industry?

On their website, GetMyAds claim to have paid out 14 million dollars in commissions.

Again, really? This thing isn’t even two months old yet…

In case you missed it, Hanson’s Facebook bio appears to have been originally written for someone called “Morgan Lewis”.

As per Google cache’s records dating back to January 16th, here’s how the original “Frank Hanson” GetMyAds bio looked:

So who’s Morgan Lewis? No idea. His name doesn’t appear in conjunction with GetMyAds outside of Hanson’s suspicious bio.

Furthermore, Hanson’s Facebook profile itself looks pretty suss. Upon initial perusal it looks above-board. A few thousands friends, relatively regular postings containing motivational messages MLM marketers like to spam and multiple profile photos.

The thing that stuck out to me though was all but two friends on Hanson’s account were only added this year. That’s 2,269 friends in less than 60 days, whereas prior to 2016 Hanson’s account was dead.

I’m not saying Hanson’s Facebook account is outright fake, but that’s pretty indicative of someone trying to make an otherwise dormant account look active.

It could also just be related to the launch of GetMyAds, but that begs the question of what Hanson’s history in MLM was prior to 2016.

Between the fudged Morgan Lewis bio, claims of millions of dollars in commissions paid and being an advertising giant despite having only launched last month, nothing so far related to GetMyAds adds up.

One possibility is that all of this might just be a cover for a Euro scam, with Alexa currently estimating that 42% of all traffic to the GetMyAds domain originates out of Germany.

The European-looking stock photo models on the GetMyAds website would appear to somewhat support this.

Oh, and did I mention the corporate address provided on the GetMyAds website belongs to “Linaro Holdings Limited”, based out of Seychelles?

Yeah, and the GetMyAds Terms and Conditions cite Philippine law:

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of the Philippines.

Evidently I’m not the only one who figures all of this is pretty bogus. Burren Blog took a closer look at the GetMyAds website and discovered the company initially offered up a Norwegian corporate address.

They’re of the opinion that GetMyAds is a “fraudulent scam” being run by Martin Schranz & Thomas Wos.

While not conclusive, I have to say that makes far more sense than some guy from the US Virgin Islands nobody’s ever heard of.

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

As at the time of publication, the Click Intensity website only displays a ticker counting down to a March 16th launch.

Further research reveals a “contact us” page on the Click Intensity website providing a “company address” in Bedfordshire, UK.

This address is for the Maxet House Business Centre, in which office space and mailing addresses can be rented.

The Click Intensity website domain (“clickintensity”) lists “Click Intensity” as the owner and was first registered on June 26th, 2009.

The domain registration was recently updated on February 22nd, 2016, which is likely when the current owner(s) acquired it.

Of note is the Delaware, US address listed on the registration, which is obviously different from the UK address provided on the Click Intensity website.

The Deleware address is that of Hardvard Business Services, who on their website claim to have been “forming Delaware companies for more than 30 years”.

As with the UK, it appears Click Intensity exists in Delaware in name only.

A closed Facebook group exists for Click Intensity, with Tara Mish, Ankur Agarwal and Nick Johnson listed as admins.

On his Facebook profile, Nick Johnson credits himself as Click Intensity’s CEO.

Nick Johnson’s Facebook profile was only created a few weeks ago, and appears to exist for the sole purpose of promoting Click Intensity. The photo used to represent Johnson has been cropped and superimposed against a white background.

It is highly likely that Nick Johnson, the purported CEO of Click Intensity, doesn’t exist.

At the time of publication, Alexa currently estimate that 31.5% of traffic to the Click Intensity website originates out of India.

The use of a mailing address in the UK and generic Anglo-Saxon named admin is typically a calling card of Indian scammers. In all likelihood, Click Intensity is probably being run out of India.

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 FX United website indicating who owns or runs the business.

A New Zealand “certificate of incorporation” for the entity “United Global Holdings Limited” is provided on the FX United website, however the relationship between the two companies is unclear.

The incorporation certificate shows that United Global Holdings Limited was incorporated on the 23rd of May, 2014.

The New Zealand address provided on the certificate is also used by numerous other businesses, suggesting it’s little more than a rented mailing address. As such, FX United would appear to exist in New Zealand in name only.

Two Directors are listed on the certificate, Rujina Begum and Priscila Lamoste Lustre.

A UK address is provided for Begum, which once again is used by a number of businesses. A residential address in Queensland, Australia is provided for Lustre.

Rujina Begum is also a listed Director for something called United Gateway Asia Limited, a former New Zealand corporation struck off in December last year.

Of the two listed Directors, Begum (right) is likely running FX United. Her name appears as the listed owner of the FX United website domain, which was first registered on October 15th, 2006.

The domain registration was last updated on August 12th, 2014, which is likely when Begum obtained it.

On her LinkedIn profile, Begum refers to herself as a “compliance officer” for Rational FX.

Rational FX is a foreign exchange business operating out of London.
