Although it was more of a pitch for Jeunesse by Luke Hessler, a former top earner in Vemma, Alex Morton did speak for a good fifteen minutes in an attempt to clear the air.

The platform of choice was a two-part Periscope video titled “The Truth Call” parts 1 and 2.

Hessler waffled on for the first part of the call and start of the second (he referred to it as the “decision call”), with Morton taking over about a quarter of the way through.

Like I said, it was mostly a pitch for Jeunesse (Hessler has ditched Vemma for Jeunesse following the FTC bust), but Morton did reveal some backstory to his own decision to leave Vemma. [Continue reading…]

With the FTC alleging Vemma is a $200 illegal pyramid scheme, a big question mark now hangs over the credibility of their top income-earners.

To what extent are they complicit in the fraud carried out? How much are they responsible? How much did they earn and should they be made to return the funds they defrauded consumers out of?

Today we take a look at perhaps the most prominent of examples, former Vemma poster-boy Alex Morton. [Continue reading…]

Thought we’d have to wait for Friday for this, but the FTC complaint against Vemma has now been made public.

Here’s the details… [Continue reading…]

As first reported by BehindMLM in mid July, Darryle Douglas is gearing up to launch a new penny auction venture he’s calling Auction Attics.

The problem?

Darryle Douglas owes victims of the Zeek Rewards Ponzi scheme over two million dollars… and he’s looking to market Auction Attics with a Zeek Rewards victim database he doesn’t own or have the rights to.

Douglas’ recent marketing efforts have now attracted the attention of the Zeek Rewards Receiver, who is decidedly not impressed with Douglas and his Auction Attics antics. [Continue reading…]

As per a marketing video on the Traffic Authority website, the “brain trust” behind the company are Chad Stalvey (full name John C. Stalvey), Greg Chambers, and Doug Wellens.

Stalvey, Chambers and Wellens run Traffic authority through Streamlined Marketing Systems, which is based out of the US state of Florida.

Streamlined Marketing Systems first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as the company behind Infinite Leverage System.

Infinite Leverage System launched in late 2014 and saw affiliates and customers pay over $4000 for traffic packages.

Retail was possible but unlikely, with Infinite Leverage System affiliates also paid to recruit new affiliates.

Despite being launched as a fully fledged MLM business opportunity, Infinite Leverage System is now being referred to as a “beta launch” that took place last year.

A marketing video on the Traffic Authority claims the beta was a “total success”, begging the question then of what happened to it?

Today the Infinite Leverage System MLM opportunity website redirects to that of Traffic Authority.

Although not formally reviewed on BehindMLM, it’s no secret that much of the criticism directed at Vemma stems from their affiliate recruitment business model.

Without going into specifics, the gist of it is you sign up as a Vemma affiliate with a monthly autoship and then recruit others who do the same.

Retail sales in this model are virtually non-existent, with affiliates instead getting paid with funds sourced from their recruited downlines (via autoship).

This has now attracted the attention of the FTC, who according to Troy Dooly served Vemma a formal complaint on Monday. [Continue reading…]

The One Time Infinity website does have an “about us” section, but at the time of publication it was “404 not found”.

As such there is no information on the One Time Infinity website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The One Time Infinity website domain (“onetimeinfinity.com”) was registered on the 16th of August 2015, however the domain registration is set to private.

Further research reveals that last Friday, an individual named “Robert McAtamney” was advertising One Time Infinity using an admin referral link:

On the 18th of August, McAtamney published the following on his Facebook account:

Rob Mcatmney, 18 August

Keep your powder dry I have A new site Pre Launch Coming.

That prelaunch is One Time Infinity which, by virtue of him controlling the admin account, McAtamney is the owner of.

According to his LinkedIn profile, McAtamney lives in Queensland, Australia and has been a chef since 1979.

Head Chef In Number Of Clubs And Pubs Did 2000 Olympics Feeding Canada, Jamaica, Bahamas and Australian Teams.

Also featured on McAtamney’s LinkedIn profile is a marketing spiel for Cash Money Bucket, a three-tier matrix Ponzi cycler.

McAtamney is/was also and affiliate of Residual Income In a Box (cash gifting), EzWealthBuilder (matrix recruitment) and Cash Bot Club (straight-line Ponzi scheme).

With the launch of One Time Infinity, now McAtamney appears to be getting into the admin side of the MLM underbelly.

A marketing spiel on the AutoMoneProfit website is signed off on by Paul Rice.

This matches the 12th of August 2015 AutoMoneProfit domain registration, which also lists Rice as the owner. An address in Devon, England is also provided.

Paul Rice (right) first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar back in 2012 as the owner Wealth Cash Maker and Infinity Money Line.

Both recruitment scams launched within weeks of eachother, Wealth Cash Maker and Infinity Money Line collapsed shortly after launch.

2012 in general was a busy year for Rice, with no less than six dubious schemes launched in the first quarter.

Recent opportunities Rice has been involved in as an affiliate include All In One Profits (cash gifting), CashAdStream (matrix recruitment), CashBotClub (Ponzi cycler), The Viral Franchise (cash gifting) and x100K (matrix recruitment).

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

The Yunooh website domain (“yunooh.com”) was first registered on the 25th of September 2013, with a “Remmar Pidong” listed as the owner. An address in Quezon, Philippines is also provided.

On his LinkedIn profile, Pidong (right) lists himself as being the CEO and Founder of Yunooh since 2013.

He also lists a website called Kalzada, which advertises a “500 peso reward” if an affiliate recruits five people. Pidong also cites himself as a “Team Manager”, having worked at East West Banking Corporation since August 2014.

Possibly due to language-barriers, I was unable to find any further involvement by Pidong in the MLM industry.
