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

The Influencie website domain (“influencie.com”) was registered on the 8th of April 2014, listing “Roger Robles” of “MyPayTube LLC” as the owner. An address in the US state of Florida is also provided.

MyPayTube is a website that claims it’s

the only Social Media company that Pays you to Play online… Cha Ching.

Launched in 2012, Alexa traffic estimates today suggest MyPayTube failed to take off.

Of note is that the MyPayTube website domain is registered to Rawlinson Souza.

In Influencie marketing presentations, Souza is credited as the CEO of the company:

As for Robles (right), a promotional video for Eternyon was uploaded to his YouTube channel in January 2014.

Eternyon saw affiliates invest up to $2400 on the promise of weekly ROIs of up to $150. The scheme collapsed shortly after launch.

Prior to MyPayTube and Eternyon, Robles was an affiliate with Organo Gold (ganoderma coffee).

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

The AdForCycle website domain (“adforcycle.com”) was registered on the 17th of February 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…]

Jay Fantano hails from New York and describes himself as “a golf professional” who “teaches privately and competes locally”.

Fantano is also one of the four admins of IntellaShares, a $2.50 micro Ponzi scheme.

IntellaShares launched earlier this year, with Fantano assuring investors this was going to be a different type of opportunity:

We are competent, convicted, and committed.

We have seen enough failures in the last 90 days and we want to do something about it.

Despite such reassurances, a few weeks ago IntellaShares collapsed. Fantano and his admins were quick to announce a relaunch, but as of yet nothing has materialized.

Against a backdrop of previous Ponzi failures that purportedly spurred on the launch of IntellaShares, some of the schemes investors have gotten restless.

Now, in an effort to quell their concerns, Fantano has issued an ultimatum. [Continue reading…]

There is no information on the Unlimited Residual 247 website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Unlimited Residual 247 website domain (“unlimitedresidual247.com”) was registered on the 22nd of February 2015, with a Wayne Francis listed as the domain owner. An address in Kingston, Jamaica is also provided.

The email address used to register the Unlimited Residual 247 website is the same used to register the website domain of Unlimited20004u.

Unlimited20004u launched last month and saw affiliates purchase $50 matrix positions. These positions were pushed through a three-tier matrix cycler, eventually resulting in a $1950 commission payout.

Unlimited20004u appears to have collapsed shortly after launch, with Davis now trying again with Unlimited Residual 247.

There is no information on The Music Network Company website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Music Network Company website domain (“musicnetworkcompany.com”) was registered on the 26th of January 2015, with “Music Network Company” listed as the owner.

An address in Mexico is also provided, however this appears to be fake or incomplete. The provided address simply reads “Distrito Federal” (Federal District) with a postcode of 52.

Pretty much all of the information available on The Music Network Company is written in Spanish, with Alexa estimating that Spain makes up 43.3% of traffic to The Music Network Company website.

This strongly suggests that whoever is running The Music Network Company is based out of Spain itself.

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…]

The folks behind Options Domination are the same crew that launched DS Domination. Unfortunately though you won’t find any information about that on their website.

Despite Options Domination having recently officially launched, at the time of publication there’s currently no information about the owners and management of Options Domination up on their website.

The Options Domination website domain (“optionsdomination.com”) was registered on the 8th of May 2014, however the domain registration is set to private.

For reference, as per the company’s website, the co-founders of DS Domination are Hitesh Juneja, Roger Langille and Kevin Hokoana.

This case is odd and I’m a bit late to the party, but I figured it deserved a writeup nonetheless.

Earlier this month, in a Texas District Court, Mary Kay filed a lawsuit against RetailMeNot.

So the lawsuit alleges,

Mary Kay does not publish or distribute Mary Kay coupons or discount offers to the general public or permit others to do so.

RMN places on retailmenot.com various digital offers and coupons concerning, referring, and relating to Mary Kay products and services, falsely representing that Mary Kay produces and distributes, or authorizes the publishing and dissemination of Mary Kay coupons, and that Mary Kay itself sells products to the consumer by way of retail sales on its website.

In essence, RMN is running a fraudulent Mary Kay couponing scheme.

Uh… what? [Continue reading…]

EmGoldex’s business model is pretty straight forward.

You sign up, you invest €540 and once enough subsequent investments have been made, a €3500 ROI is paid out.

Newly invested funds are used to pay off existing investors, with recruitment quotas required for a full €3500 ROI to be issued.

Dare to accurately market the EmGoldex MLM business though, and the company will turn its back on you. [Continue reading…]

Over the past few months Argent Global Network have continued to string what’s left of their affiliate-base along.

Restructuring, new business models and compensation plans have all been used to appease those who initially invested in the scheme, and now wonder where their money went.

Now, in an email update sent out to affiliates yesterday, the company is announcing it can no longer meet it’s daily ROI obligations.

Why?

A “lack of adequate funding”. [Continue reading…]
