There is no information on the Money Bags 775 Pro (MB775Pro) website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Money Bags 775 Pro website domain (“realwealthsolution.com/mb”) was registered on the 9th of April 2011. Lorna Thurston is listed as the domain owner, along with an address in the US state of Idaho.

Presumably this is where MMB775Pro is being run out of.

A promotional video on the Money Bags 775 website is hosted on the YouTube account “ultrawealth”.

Other videos published on the account, which bears the name “Lorna Thurston”, promote GooBets ($310-$1350 Ponzi scheme), Silver4u2 (recruitment), Total Life Changes (diet tea), MyNyloxin (revenue-sharing), AndThanks2U (cash gifting) and KingUni ($100-$1999 Ponzi scheme).

Marketing for Qbule also exists on the “realwealthsolution.com” domain, suggesting Thurston was an affiliate in that opportunity too.

Qbule launched in 2014 and was based on the survey-based Speak Asia Ponzi model. The scheme has since collapsed.

Thurston also appears on a list of US net-winners who made more than $1000 in Zeek Rewards:

Zeek Rewards was an $850 million dollar Ponzi scheme, shut down by the SEC in 2012. How much Thurston stole from Zeek victims is unclear.

National Wealth Center began as Infinity100, which in itself was a reincarnation of The Infinity Downline.

Infinity100 was a $100 cash gifting scheme, which began to collapse in early 2014.

In mid 2014 the scheme was relaunched as National Wealth Center.

As one Infinity 100 affiliate explains in their marketing material;

National Wealth Center was launched on July 7th, 2014 by Peter Wolfing as the new Infinity Downline 2.0.

Infinity Downline has been one of the Peter Wolfing’s greatest and stable home based business opportunities and that opportunity has now evolved and gotten 100x better with National Wealth Center.

Another writes;

With the new National Wealth Center program, which is the Infinity Downline revamp and relaunch, there is always going to be a certain amount of confusion that sets in with any new program launch.

Peter Wolfing remains at the helm of the scheme, serving as Founder of the original Infinity Downline and CEO of National Wealth Center.

Wolfing (right) first appeared on BehindMLM’s radar back in 2012, as the admin of Turbo Cycler ($200-$1000 matrix-based Ponzi scheme).

Since then we’ve also reviewed two more of Wolfing’s opportunities, Business ToolBox and Ultimate Cycler, two similar matrix cycler Ponzi schemes launched in October 2014.

Of these businesses, National Wealth Center appears to be the most prevalent.

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

The Lazy Matrix website domain (“lazy-matrix.com”) was registered on the 3rd of May 2015, with an “Ivan S Mihailov” listed as the owner. An address in Russia, Moscow is also provided.

The name Ivan S Mihailov only appears online in connection with the Lazy Matrix domain registration. Whether or not Mihailov actually exists, as represented in the Lazy Matrix domain registration, is unclear.

Alexa currently estimate that some 69.3% of traffic to the Lazy Matrix domain originates out of Russia. Neighboring Ukraine is the second largest source of traffic, coming in at 14.4%.

Of note is that Lazy Matrix uses the name-servers of Zama Host. ProAdzCycler is another scheme that launched recently using the same Zama Host name-servers.

This is unlikely to be a co-incidence.

An official VKontakte social-media group is linked off the Lazy Matrix website. The group currently has over a thousand members and is being run by a “Sergey Buzykin”.

Whether or not Buzykin is the actual admin of Lazy Matrix is unclear.

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…]

Trader Agency operate in the forex and binary options MLM niche.

The company is headed up by CEO and Founder Dillon Kreider, with a corporate address provided in the US state of Florida.

As per Kreider’s Trader Agency corporate bio;

My struggling quest for financial freedom eventually led me to becoming a full-time forex and binary option trader.

Within the 1rst (sic) year I was able to become profitable and start trading full time.

A lifetime serial entrepreneur I have over 15 years experience in sales & marketing and 13 years experience in network marketing .

I’ve ran several small network marketing companies in the past with moderate success. It was this experience which led to the founding of Trader Agency and inspired me to combine the power of these two industries.

I did try to put together an MLM history for Kreider but there wasn’t much out there.

Kreider (right) launched Matrix Extreme in 2010, which saw affiliates invest $100 into a $1100 ROI two-tier matrix cycler Ponzi scheme.

Back in 2010 it appears Kreider also had a run in with the law:

2 years ago lost my business, family and all assets fought for my life and beat a 25 year sentence ..

Ok 6 months out the joint still clean , still serving god and got my own place, own vehicle, full time job, getting custody of my son in October and starting a business this month. My God loves underdogs!

Other than that, a perusal of Kreider’s Facebook profile reveals he believes himself to have cancer-healing superpowers:

28th of May, 2015

So the Lord put a young lady fighting cancer in my path today, and since I delayed in my response to the Holy Spirits commands ended up chasing her down in the parking lot…

My hands started to burn as I got close to her and I knew what that meant. Meant healing was coming her way ..

So I prayed with her and the Holy Spirit took over and she wept as she received her prayers… But I could have missed that.. Her opportunity for healing, and if I would have continue to delay or not respond, she may have not received it…

When God tells you to do something, we are his Emergency Response Unit… We don’t have time to waste..

Act Now if God says so… Don’t be the guy like me running through the parking lot to catch up to my assignment…

Working on the emergency response unit be prepared for the “sirens” to go off and be ready to suit up and respond as the Lord directs.

That was so far the best part of my day.. Days like that , when one assignment may mean a complete life changing healing and divine experience for someone and allow them to receive what they been praying fervently for…

We are the hands of feet of Christ so be prepared to be used … Don’t know about you but I use my hands and my feet alot…

Make of that what you will, and read on for a full review of the Trader Agency MLM business opportunity. [Continue reading…]

This isn’t going to be your typical BehindMLM review, because researching uMatrin is a task in and of itself.

uMatrin has been set up such that it isn’t until layer upon layer of obfuscation has been peeled back, that one gets a sense of what the opportunity is actually about.

With that out of the way, here’s everything I’ve been able to put together on the uMatrin MLM business opportunity. [Continue reading…]

There is no information on the We All Earn website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The We All Earn website domain (“weallearn.biz”) was registered on April 26th 2015, however the domain registration is set to private.

Of note is the We All Earn Disclaimer page, which states

This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between Member and JUST3BUCKS in connection with general membership in the JUST3BUCKS program and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties regarding the subject matter contained herein.

Just3Bucks banner advertising also appears on the We All Earn website, with the ads redirecting to the “just3bucks.ur-moniez.info” subdomain.

The “ur-moniez.info” domain is being used to resell third-party web-hosting, with the domain itself registered privately.

Whoever is running We All Earn is likely also the owner of Just3Bucks and the “ur-moniez” domain.

A Google search reveals a ton of failed dubious schemes launched off the “ur-moniez” domain, indicating that the owner of We All Earn is a serial scammer.

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…]

Following an attempt to transfer over $100,000 locals were scammed out of and then flee the country, Samoan authorities arrested Nicolas Giannos at Faleolo airport on May 26th.

Giannos had been sharing his attempts to promote uFun Club in Samoa on Facebook throughout May.

Following a police investigation, Giannos and two other uFun Club investors have now been charged with promoting an illegal pyramid scheme and additional “cyber-crime charges”.

Following the filing of complaints from local investors, Attorney General’s Prosecutor Ms. Rexona Titi claims that ‘more charges have been filed and more are likely to follow.‘ [Continue reading…]

Last we heard the DOJ had filed a request for an extension to oppose fee applications filed by Murphy and King and Mesirow Financial Consulting.

Both firms have been assisting Stephen Darr with his duties as court-appointed Trustee in the TelexFree bankruptcy case.

What became of the DOJ’s objections is unclear, including whether or not they were filed at all.

Both fee applications have since been approved, with Judge Hoffman signing off on the requests following a hearing held yesterday.

Far more interesting meanwhile were comments made by Darr at the hearing.

Darr revealed insight into the flow of money between TelexFree investors, and what those who lost money in the scheme can expect going forward. [Continue reading…]

Observing a recent spate of investor recruitment taking place in Dubai, local media began to investigate EmGoldex.

Observing EmGoldex affiliates on social media claiming that ‘Emgoldex’s parent company, the Germany-based Gold and Silver Physical Metals KG, registered an online store in Dubai with the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), Gulf News approached the DMCC for comment.

The DMCC informed Gulf News that neither EmGoldex or Gold and Silver Physical Metals KG were registered. [Continue reading…]
