A Leisure Life launched in 2014 and are based out of the US state of Utah.

Heading up the company is CEO Kim Rimmasch, who has a noticeably vague corporate bio on the A Leisure Life website:

Mr. Rimmasch brings years of CEO experience to the A Leisure Life team. His experience and expertise brings an outstanding amount of strength and leadership to an exceptional executive management team.

At the time of publication, no less than seven social profile links below Rimmasch’s A Leisure Life bio were non-functional.

In an A Leisure Life marketing video, Rimmasch (right) shares that he’s

been in the vacation business for over thirty-three years. I started in 1980.

I’ve been able to develop some of the finest resorts in the country. Locally here in Utah I’ve developed East Canyon, Kimble, condos, Power Ridge Village, Bear Lake.

I’ve developed condos in Wolf Creek and St George, Yellowstone. I’ve had an opportunity to develop condos up and down the pacific coast.

I’ve had an opportunity to be a consultant in the business for many years. I started right on the line as a sales-person, with a company with hundreds and hundreds of sales people.

One of the largest vacation businesses in the country, and was able to be pretty good. I worked my way up to manage a store and later over three stores, later over six stores.

I Became the Vice-President of that company and I’ve pretty much been the Chief Executive Officer, the CEO or Executive Vice-President since then, of many companies.

I wasn’t able to find an MLM history for Rimmasch, suggesting A Leisure Life is his first MLM venture.

Three weeks before the SEC shut down Zeek Rewards, Sales Director Darryle Douglas vanished from the public eye.

The official reason cited for Douglas’ departure was “personal reasons”, but in reality he’d done a runner.

That was three years ago almost to the day, with Douglas neither seen nor heard from in public since…

…until now. [Continue reading…]

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

The BitFlowBot website domain (“bitflowbot.com”) was registered on the 28th of April 2015, 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…]

Customize Cash was launched earlier this month and lists Frederick Spears as operator, owner and CEO.

Through his company “I Wanna Be Rich”, Spears operates out of Ontario, Canada.

Late last year Spears launched The Viral Franchise, which saw participants gift each other $7 payments.

This model is obviously dependent on new recruits signing up, with a decline likely prompting the launch of Customize Cash.

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

The Traffic Lagoon website domain (“trafficlagoon.com”) was registered on the 30th of March 2015, however the domain registration is set to private.

Further research reveals a public Traffic Lagoon Facebook group, in which a Ravi Kirran (right) markets the opportunity in the possessive:

Traffic Lagoon is one of the best way to advertise your business.

We are professional group in the field of marketing and advertising and we have come up with most amazing way of advertising your business and turn your website in to a money making machine by attracting quality traffic from all over the world.

On his own Facebook profile page, Kirran lists his location as Delhi in India, which is presumably where the Traffic Lagoon is being run out of.

I was unable to put together an MLM history on Kirran, suggesting that Traffic Lagoon might be his first venture.

There is no information on the 2×2 Wealth website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The 2×2 Wealth website domain (“2x2wealth.com”) was registered on the 19th of June 2015, with a “John Dierksmeier” listed as the owner. An address in the US state of Texas is also provided.

Dierksmeier (full name John Dierksmeier Quesada) first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as the Founder of MaxeVida in 2011.

MaxeVida combined retail sales and affiliate recruitment, tracked through a matrix-based compensation plan.

Similar matrix schemes launched by Dierksmeier prior to MaxeVida include TVBoxNet and EZProBuilder.

When MaxeVida seems to have collapsed sometime in 2012, with Dierksmeier (right) then going on to launch Only20Bucks.

Again based on a matrix compensation plan, Only20Bucks was a recruitment-driven feeder for iClubBiz (in which Dierksmeier was an affiliate).

iClubBiz itself was an autoship-centric recruitment scheme launched in 2013.

2014 saw Dierksmeier get into coffee, with the launch of Cafe Nopal.

On the affiliate side of things, Dierksmeier has been involved with New Earth (reboot of Simplexity Health), Xerveo (formerly Ferveo), CeraCoat Direct (nanotechnology coating) and more recently GoBig7 (Penny Matrix reboot).

Earlier this year Dierksmeier launched Nopa Vida, with 2×2 Wealth his second launch this year.

There is no information on the Elevate Solar website indicating who owns or runs the business, although the company does disclose it is based out of Utah in the US.

The Elevate Solar website domain (“elevatesmarthome.com”) was registered on the 26th of May 2015, however the domain registration is set to private.

Further research revealed a LinkedIn profile belonging to “Wright Wesley Thurston”, who credits himself as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Elevate Inc. and Elevate Solar Inc.

Elevate Solar Inc. appears to be a division of Elevate Inc., which is an MLM opportunity in its own right.

As per Thurston’s LinkedIn profile;

Elevate, Inc. is the only publically (sic) traded Digital Services provider that is meeting customer demand for affordability, variety, and service by leveraging a network of independent, licensed connectivity specialists to sell and service the residential and small business solar, data, voice, video, mobile and security markets.

Mr. Thurston has recruited, trained and deployed more than 20,000 independent reps over the past decade.

His visionary approach to sales training and keen insights into market behavior has led to more than 200,000 subscriber activations for digital services.

Mr. Thurston is the author of the proprietary compensation plan at Elevate, which compensates sales representatives for both new customer acquisitions as well as long-term loyalty, a concept that is revolutionizing the customer experience with digital service providers.

Why none of this information is available on the Elevate Solar website is a mystery.

One final observation is that Thurston’s LinkedIn profile lists his location as California. Whether he runs Elevate Solar from California or commutes to Utah is unclear.

Golden Scratchie is an opportunity offered through IAM Corp, with the company hosted off the IAM Corp website.

IAM Corp do not provide any contact details on their website, but the company’s terms and conditions do state that

The provincial courts located in Vancouver, British Columbia shall be the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any lawsuit or action with respect to this Agreement.

Whether or not that means IAM Corp are based in Canada or not is unclear.

Suggesting they might not be is the domain registration information for “iamcorp.eu”, a domain cited in the IAM Corp Terms and Conditions which redirects to their primary .com domain.

The .eu domain is registered to Eurasia Finance Ltd. through an address in the Isle of Man (UK).

Further research reveals a number of holding companies and businesses offering registrations exist at this address, suggesting IAM Corp has no actual presence there.

Cited as the CEO of IAM Corp is Peter Karroll (right), with a quote attributed to Karroll on the IAM Corp website reading:

People pay us for the privilege of their computers talking to our computers. This is the perfect business conversion model.

On his LinkedIn profile Karroll lists his location as Vancouver, suggesting that if the company is not registered in Canada, then that’s at the very least where it’s being run out of.

On his IAM Corp bio, Karroll is credited with professional ties to the music, entertainment and online gaming industries. I wasn’t able to find anything specifically related to MLM however, suggesting IAM Corp (and Golden Scratchie) are his first MLM ventures.

Following the collapse of the GetEasy Ponzi scheme, insider Tiago Fontoura went on to launch the reload scheme Go2Up.

Go2Up’s business model continued where GetEasy left off, seeing affiliates invest up to €3000 on the promise of ROIs paid out subsequently invested funds.

As with most reload schemes, Go2Up failed to grow as large as its predecessor.

Some six months after its launch however the scheme persisted, with Founder Tiago Fontoura recently touching down in Tunisia to spruik the scheme.

If reports out of Tunisia are to be believed, upon landing in Tunisia Fontoura was arrested on criminal charges. [Continue reading…]
