An unfortunately common marketing tactic among MLM promoters is hiding company names from potential recruits.

The primary objective with this technique is preventing consumers from conducting independent due-diligence into the company.

While it’s not unheard of for MLM companies to unofficially incorporate the deceptive strategy into their marketing, it’s rare for it to be officially sanctioned.

Enter 7K Metals and its The Vault marketing funnel. [Continue reading…]

Neura Technologies, aka Neura Tech and NeuraTech Global, fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Neura Technologies’ website domain (“neuratech.global”), was privately registered on June 21st, 2024.

Despite only existing for a few months, Neura Technologies falsely claims it was “born in 2010”.

In its marketing material, Neura Technologies represents it has three corporate offices attached to three registered shell companies.

The provided addresses in the UK, Hong Kong and Canada correspond to virtual office addresses belong to various companies. It is unlikely Neura Technologies has any actual ties to these countries.

Neura Technologies’ official Telegram channel is presented in English and Russian. This strongly suggests whoever is running Neura Technologies has ties to Russia.

This is reflected in Neura Technologies’ website traffic.

As of October 2024, SimilarWeb tracked ~490,000 monthly visits to Neura Technologies’ website.

59% of Neura Technologies’ website is attributed to Russia. This is followed by 13% to France, 7% to Ukraine and 4% to Vietnam.

Win-Win Global fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Win-Win Global’s website domain (“win-win.global”), was privately registered on September 3rd 2024.

Further research reveals marketing material citing Mehar Mohiuddin as Win-Win Global’s co-founder and Global President.

I wasn’t able to get a reading on Mohiuddin but CEO Charles Triadji and COO Francisco Odono appear to have ties to Indonesia and the Philippines respectively.

Of note is, as of October 2024, SimilarWeb tracking Win-Win Global’s website traffic originating from Russia 55% and Ukraine (45%).

Of note is Win-Win Global’s official Telegram channel website link pointing to Russia:

On LinkedIn, Win-Win Global represents it is based out of Malaysia:

Three weeks ago however, Win-Win Global was advertising marketing webinars as per Dubai time:

Putting all of this together, Win-Win Global appears to be run by Russians working with puppet executives across Asia.

While pretending to be based out of Malaysia, the Russian scammers running Win-Win Global are probably based out of Dubai – with potential ties to both Russia and Ukraine.

Due to the proliferation of scams and failure to enforce securities fraud regulation, BehindMLM ranks Dubai as the MLM crime capital of the world.

BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:

1. If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
2. If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.

If you want to know specifically how this applies to Win-Win Global, read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]
