iGrow Network began life as vLeaf (also known as Leaf International or Vision Leaf), an ad-credit Ponzi scheme with a matrix recruitment backend.

vLeaf launched in 2012 and collapsed after a brief run.

In 2014 the scheme resurfaced as Leafit, with Founder and CEO Lawrence Sowell at the helm.

Leafit sought to distance itself from its vLeaf Ponzi days, by branding itself as a “people’s app”.

The basic gist of the mobile app was that it allowed users to post third-party images on social network. Those images contains products, which the Leafit app tagged and attached affiliate shopping links to.

Someone buys the product through that link, Leafit gets commission and then splits that revenue with its affiliates.

Tacked on to that was a recruitment scheme, which also saw Leafit affiliates paid to recruit new affiliates.

Ultimately Leafit failed, with the website today notifying visitors that the Leafit “product is no longer available”:

The latest incarnation of the opportunity is the iGrow Network, which launched mid last year.

Listed as CEO of the iGrow Network is Michael Green (right), former Vice-President of Sales in Leafit.

Lawrence Sowell is still on board but appears to have taken a behind the scenes role in iGrow Network.

Sowell was promoting iGrow Network in Asia earlier this year:

Hailsham is a civil parish and the largest of the five towns in the Wealden district of East Sussex, England.

Back in February, “representatives from Lyoness” were invited to give a ‘short presentation to the Hailsham Forward Executive‘.

According to their website, the Hailsham Forward Executive

was born out of the Mary Portas Vision for revitalising Town Centres.

Hailsham Forward is a Town Team Partner, is supported by the Government, and has received £10,000 funding to undertake projects to improve the business community in Hailsham.

Heading up Hailsham Forward is Chairman Rob Slater and Vice-chairman Nick Collinson.

According to Collinson’s personal website, he’s

a Conservative Party Candidate for Hailsham Central and North Ward.

“I was first elected in May 2011 and then subsequently re-elected in May 2015 to both Hailsham Town Council and Wealden District Council.”

As per Hailsham Town Council’s March 12th Business Enterprise Committee Agenda, referencing a meeting that took place in February:

Representatives from Lyoness made a short presentation to the Hailsham Forward Executive earlier in the day.

The loyalty scheme and card they provide allows the public to get cashback from millions of retailers across 45 countries and local businesses the ability to get repeat business via the cards incentive to shop in a Lyoness Merchant.

There are further benefits for both the public and business that are signed up and then introduce more members and businesses to the scheme.

The Hailsham Forward Executive is keen to look at creating a Hailsham Forward branded card with Lyoness and gain the income benefit to the project by introducing both local people and businesses to the scheme; whilst giving these groups the ability to earn
rewards and gain loyalty with their customers.

Further work will need to be done over the coming months to establish this.

The My Money Mover website domain (“mymoneymover.com”) was registered on the 26th of June 2005, with “BBP Marketing” listed as the domain owner. An address in the US state of Florida is also provided.

As per the My Money Mover website,

How long has your company been in business?

We have been running several different businesses for over 36 years, the last 10 on the Internet.

Further research reveals “Lyle Diehl” to be the owner of BBP Marketing, through which he markets a series of MLM opportunities.

According to the BBP Marketing website:

We have been in the Network Marketing Business since 1996. During that time we have built many large downlines with several different programs.

There’s a lot of talk in the MLM industry now surrounding the FTC’s temporary shutdown of Vemma.

A lot of folks seem to think this was some sort of knee-jerk reaction, the setting of an example if you will, initiated through blind vengeance with a complete lack of evidence.

That couldn’t be further from the truth, and today we take a look at what went down on the 21st of August. [Continue reading…]

There is no information on the Cash Money Bucket website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Cash Money Bucket website domain (“cashmoneybucket.com”) was registered on the 20th of October 2014, with Robert McAtamney listed as the domain owner. An address in Queensland, Australia is also provided.

McAtamney first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as the admin of the recently launched One Time Infinity Ponzi scheme.

Cash Money Bucket would appear to be the precursor to One Time Infinity.

There is no information on the Health enRiches Fun Club website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The company does have an “about us” page on its website, but only following vague marketing spiel is provided:

Health enriches fun club is subsidiary of Health enRiches Internatinal ltd,which distributes health products to Asia, America, Europe and Africa.

The fun club was created to train and raise Healthy millionaires out of a thin air while the mother company sells the products to its subsidiary members.

The Health enRiches Fun Club website domain meanwhile was registered on the 4th of July 2015, with a “Kevin Affram” listed as the owner. An address in Accra, Ghana is also provided.

I was unable to establish what Affram’s role within or relationship to Health enRiches Fun Club is.

I did note though that the Health enRiches Fun Club website uses the name-servers of MidRain Royale.

On their website, MidRain Royale claim to be

a Network Marketing company which distributes health care products from Malaysia.

It has unique compensation plan to reward her cherish distributors around the globe. The head office is located at Adenta SDA Junction 2nd floor Oswald house, Accra –Ghana.

There is no information about who owns or runs MidRain Royale on their website. The company’s website domain (“midrainroyale.com”) was registered on the 14th of January 2014, however the domain registration is set to private.

By all accounts MidRain Royale appears to have collapsed (Alexa stats reveal little to no activity taking place), with Health enRiches Fun Club looking to be a reboot with products from the same Malaysian suppliers.

Given the Health enRiches Fun Club website uses the MidRain Royle name-servers, it is a given that whoever owns MidRain Royale also owns Health enRiches Fun Club.

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…]
