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

If one clicks the “company” link at the footer of the homepage, details for “FutureNet Inc.” appear:

Futurenet Inc.
TRUST COMPANY COMPLEX
AJELTAKE ROAD
AJELTAKE ISLAND
MAJURO
MARSHALL ISLAND
MH 96960

A Google search reveals multiple businesses using this address, indicating that FutureNet exists in the Marshall Islands in name only.

The FutureNet domain was registered on the 25th of September 2014, but only lists FutureNet Inc. with the same Marshall Islands address as the owner.

Promotional screenshots of the FutureNet backoffice reveal the appearance of “Thorsten Albers”:

Albers last popped up on my radar as the owner and CEO of Falkito.

Falkito was a failed MLM penny auction that launched in the shadow of Zeek Rewards, an $850 million Ponzi scheme.

After lengthy delays, Falkito eventually launched only to flop. Today the business is no longer active.

Whether Albers is involved in FutureNet as an affiliate or owner/management is unclear.

Update 3rd April 2016 – Promotion for FutureNet appears to have ramped up recently, with affiliate marketing material naming Roman Ziemian and Stephan Morgenstern as owners of the company.

Ziemian identifies himself as CEO and Founder of FutureNet on his Facebook profile. Both Ziemian and Morgenstern are based out of Poland.

Prior to FutureNet, Ziemian and Morgenstern were involved in OneLine Online.

OneLine Online was a share-based Ponzi scheme launched in early 2014. Ziemian served as Chief Operations Officer and Morgenstern as an investor.

It is assumed Ziemian and Morgenstern’s time at OneLine Online formed the inspiration behind FutureNet.

Prior to Ponzi scamming Ziemian was an affiliate with LEO, a personal development based recruitment scheme.

Morgenstern was also a LEO affiliate. Before that he was an affiliate with Organo Gold (ganoderma coffee) and World Ventures (travel-based recruitment scheme). /end update

QoinPro is currently in beta and launched earlier this year.

The company provides a corporate address in Hong Kong, with Wouter van der Schagt credited as QoinPro’s CEO and Managing Director.

On his LinkedIn profile van der Schagt (right) credits himself as a NuSkin affiliate, primarily targeting the Asia region.

During these years, while expanding my company in Asia, I also became an independent executive distributor for the direct sales company “NuSkin Enterprises”.

Seeing the growth of NuSkin in the Philippines I decided to invest and became a co-founder and shareholder of their product distribution center in Iloilo in the Philippines.

Although the shares were sold when I left the Philippines, the distribution center still exists today.

Over the course of these years I’ve literally held hundreds of seminars. All were held in Asia.

It started as a result of being a distributor for NuSkin Enterprises and initially the seminars were about sales and marketing promoting their products.

As time passed, topics shifted to motivational sessions, goal-setting and time management.

Payoneer is the processor and they do not take on ponzi’s or pyramid schemes. None of the fly-by-night programs can even dream of Payoneer.

-Achieve Community affiliate on social media, 5th November 2014

Another day, another pyramid cycler has their payment processor services terminated.

On their website Payoneer claim they

enable millions of businesses and professionals from more than 200 countries to reach new audiences by facilitating seamless, cross-border payments.

Additionally, thousands of leading corporations including Google, Airbnb, Elance-oDesk and Getty Images rely on Payoneer’s mass payout services.

News broke today that the company has effectively terminated the payment processor services it is providing Achieve Community and its affiliates.

In a backoffice update published a few hours ago, the Achieve Community advised: [Continue reading…]

Prior to TelexFree filing their bankruptcy petition, James Merrill, Carlos Wanzeler and other TelexFree insiders collectively sought to make off with almost $40 million in stolen investor funds.

When the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided TelexFree headquarters, accountant Joe Craft was caught red-handed trying to make off $37.9 million dollars in cashiers checks.

These checks were made out to James Merrill, Carlos Wanzeler, his wife Katia Wanzeler, TelexFree LLC (owned by Wanzeler) and TelexFree Dominicana SRL, a murky entity registered in the Dominican Republic.

Thankfully Craft was made to surrender the checks and the funds were promptly seized.

Tasked with recovering TelexFree assets and putting together an accurate picture of company operations and structure, TelexFree Trustee Stephen Darr is now asking for permission to subpoena the banks and institutions who issued these checks. [Continue reading…]

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

The Enviralizer website domain (“enviralizer.com”) was registered on the 5th of January 2014 and lists “Enrique Alberro” as the domain owner. An address in the US state of Georgia is also provided.

Alberro (right) appears in a promotional video on the Enviralizer YouTube channel, in which he confirms he is “the owner and founder” of the company.

Alberro’s Facebook profile contains marketing material for Internet Lifestyle Network (April 2014), Xplocial (mid-2013), Rippln (mid-2013), Talk Fusion (late 2012), Royalty7 (7% daily/110% weekly ROI Ponzi scheme, early 2012) and Empower Network (late 2011).

2011 would appear to be about the time Aberro got involved in MLM.

Domain wise Alberro has also owned domains used to market Uneeqlee and YouGetPaidFast ($28 cash gifting).

After joining no less than eight companies over the past few years, now it seems Alberro has decided to launch his own.

Although a bio appears for the WinNet Club founder on the website, his name is mysteriously absent.

A WinNet Club presentation however identifies the founder as “Wendell G. Santana”:

The company claims Santana was born in Texas and founded “Globe Voice Company Inc.” in 2007, who presumably provide the VOIP service (or access to) that Winnet Club markets.

Santana’s current location, along with where WinNet Club is based out of is not provided.

The WinNet Club website domain (“winnet.club”) lists a “Willie Santana” as the owner, with an address in the US state of Texas.

Whether WinNet Club is being run out of Texas though is doubtful. From a WinNet Club business presentation:

Our servers are located in Russia and two other servers will monitor the backups.

We are registered as Enterprise Communications and already operate in the USA since 2007.

Here’s where things get a little interesting.

Santana also owns the domain “globo4x.com”, which is currently billing itself as “winnet bank”:

WinNet Bank is established in Belize and Hong Kong, providing financial services on behalf of WINNET BANK Financial Group S/A.

As a company with different services in corporate and investment bank, WinNet Bank provides new approaches on financial management with security and control, focused in market global expansion.

WinNet Bank is regulated by tax authority of the Republic of Panama. We offer economic products and services that meet different aims of different investors in the financial market.

Panama, Belize, Russia and Hong Kong?

It would seem some thought has gone into the creation of WinNet Club, with a mind towards safeguarding against regulatory safeguarding.

I wonder why that could be?

There is no information on the Straight Line Shares website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Straight Line Shares domain (“straightlineshares.com”) was registered on the 23rd of August 2014, however the domain registration is set to private.

Launched in late September, the Straight Line Shares Facebook pages suggests that the company has an originating presence in Melaka, Malaysia.

As always, if a 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…]

Like all Ponzi schemes, the going is good until the money runs out.

Better Living Global Marketing launched in the shadow of the $850M Ponzi scheme, Zeek Rewards.

From his hidey-hole in Hong Kong, Luke Teng headed up the company. Teng oversaw investors pump $1175 sums into the scheme on the promise recruitment commissions and 99 day ROIs.

Whereas Zeek Rewards was shut down by US regulators, the belief among Better Living investors was that the company being based out Hong Kong meant there was no chance of regulatory action before new investor funds were exhausted.

As with every other MLM penny auction, retail was non-existent and eventually Better Living ran out of affiliate funds to pay commissions and returns with. The lack of funds appears to have critical mass sometime late last year, with affiliate withdrawals grinding to a halt shortly thereafter.

Since late 2013, the scheme has mostly been in limbo.

Hong Kong police were reported to have begun an investigation into Better Living back in May, but as of yet nothing has come of it.

In desperate need to inject new affiliate funds into the scheme to keep it going, Luke Teng has been holding meetings within which he lays out his plans for the company going forward.

Despite being uploaded last month, the video analyzed below only recently surfaced. Going off Teng’s remarks in the video pertaining to company revenue, it appears to have been recorded around September of 2014. [Continue reading…]
