All is not what it seems though, with Rush, Schrum, Hoenicke and Lavenia claiming the terminations only came about after multiple attempts to resign. [Continue reading…]

BK Boreyko’s objection to Vemma preliminary injunction
As required by court procedure, the CEO and Founder of Vemma, BK Boreyko, today filed a response to the FTC’s allegation that Vemma is an illegal pyramid scheme.
In his response, Boreyko complains about the manner in which the FTC brought their case against Vemma, offers numerous strawman arguments seeking to weaken the Thacker declaration and ultimately fails to address the lack of significant retail activity taking place within Vemma. [Continue reading…]

Cash Ninja Review: $14.95 matrix-based recruitment scheme
There is no information on the Cash Ninja website directly indicating who owns or runs the company.
The Cash Ninja website domain (“cashninja.org”) was registered on the 27th of August 2015, however the domain registration is set to private.
Further research reveals Cash Ninja affiliates claiming that a “Chris Jacobsen” is the “owner and creator” of the opportunity:
I myself however was unable to independently verify this claim.
Of note is a message that appears in the footer of the Cash Ninja website:
CashNinja created and designed by Palmwood Online Enterprises.
Palmwood Online Enterprises was incorporated in the UK on July 24th, 2015, with Thomas Sullivan listed as the sole Director.
The address used to incorporate Palmer Online Enterprises is that of Fletcher Kennedy, who claim to be ‘UK and Offshore company formation specialists‘.
Evidently Palmwood Online Enterprises has no physical presence in the UK, with the company existing there in name only.
Thomas Sullivan’s himself is based out of Perth Australia, having first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as the admin of ProfitAdz in 2012.
ProfitAdz was a 200% ROI Ponzi scheme which collapsed shortly after launch.
Other schemes launched by Sullivan since include PowerOf3 (recruitment-based pyramid scheme) and AdzPays (another 200% ROI Ponzi scheme).
Sullivan’s latest scheme was My Amazing Life, a $24.95 a month recruitment scheme launched in June 2015.
At the time of publication, the My Amazing Life website is returning a “403 forbidden” error code:
The collapse of My Amazing Life has likely prompted the launch of Cash Ninja.

4x-Lines Review: Rev-share & matrix cycler positions
There is no information on the 4x-Lines website indicating who owns or runs the business.
The 4x-Lines website domain (“4x-lines.com”) was registered on the 10th of March 2015, with an “Eric Caballero” listed as the owner. An incomplete address in Coclé, Panama is also provided.
Possibly due to language-barrier issues, I was unable to find any further information on Caballero.
Given the incomplete address provided in the 4x-Lines domain registration, I’d suggest the company has no actual physical presence there.
Rather 4x-Lines is likely being operated from one of its four main sources of traffic. As per Alexa’s estimates at the time of publication, these are Spain (38.1%), Mexico (14.7%), Argentina (14.6%) and Colombia (12.9%).
Read on for a full review of the 4x-Lines MLM business opportunity. [Continue reading…]
Extreme Profit Machine Review: $10 shares & identity theft
As per the Extreme Profit Machine homepage, the company is ‘developed and maintained by B Thune Networks LLC‘.
A photo of Ben Thune appears above the message, with Thune presumed to be running Extreme Profit Machine.
Further research reveals the “Ben Thune” photo present on the Extreme Profit Machine website is actually that of Joseph Richards:
Richards is a Project Manager of RJ Childs Contracting INC., a commercial project contracting firm based out of Cartersville, Georgia.
Ben Thune and Ben Thune Networks LLC, as represented on the Extreme Profit Machine website do not exist.
The Extreme Profit Machine website domain meanwhile was registered on the 27th of September 2014, 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…]
Ennovx Review: $300 to $1400 Ponzi pyramid positions
Other than an address in Hong Kong, China, there is no information on the Ennovx website indicating who owns or runs the business.
Further research reveals the supplied Hong Kong address to belong to Regus, who rent out virtual office space.
As such it appears Ennovx have no actual physical presence in Hong Kong, with the company existing there in name only.
The Ennovx website domain (“ennovx.com”) was registered on the 4th of June 2015, however the domain registration is set to private.
Of note is that the Ennovx website domain uses the name-servers of “mlminfopages.com”.
The MLM InfoPages website domain was registered on the 11th of June 2010, with an “Abdu Gafoor KV” listed as the domain owner. An address in Kerala, India is also provided.
For the Ennovx website domain to be using the MLM Infopages name-servers, Gafoor KV must have admin rights to both domains.
Thus it follows that Abdu Gafoor KV owns both domains and is likely involved in the running of Ennovx from India.
Possibly due to language barriers, I was unable to find any additional information on Gafoor KV’s involvement in the MLM industry.
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…]
