Who is behind mlm

I have heard the stories of BehindMLM. One of the most significant loopholes that they all use to their benefit is staying anonymous on the internet. The editors of BehindMLM.

However, these BehindMLM. Klaus Bardenhagen calls himself a freelance journalist from Germany, while Michael Turton is an American who is settled in Taiwan with his wife Sylvia Shih for the last 30 years. In addition to BehindMLM. The website was dumped in , most likely because Michael Turton could not pressure the Taiwanese polity with his biased articles and was unsuccessful in extorting anything from them.

He is currently living at No. His contact details as of writing this article are as given below. Email: [email protected]. Interestingly, Michael Turton, the year-old married man, is quite active on the Taiwanese dating scene.

A simple Google search this link here will lead you to his online dating profile. Notice how, on his dating profile summary, he proudly mentions that he has lived in Taiwan for the last 30 years. It suggests that this online dating profile of Michael Turton is an active one and that he updates or maintains it regularly. Now think about it for a moment. In what world does an honest man let alone a serious journalist get the time to create and maintain an extramarital dating lifestyle?

Michael Turton, the year-old married man, posing for his dating website profile. You do get to use the system for free to promote your program of choice in the system to your direct downline. In the end you will be contacted by phone by the owner so you feel great about upgrading or using their other services they have. The name rings a bell.

MyAdvertisingPays is often referred to as an MLM multi-level marketing company, others are calling it even a Ponzi scheme or a pyramid system. These people spend months, hour after hour, to write incredibly long reports, and this without ever having understood this business of MAP.

Quite interestingly, I noticed no comparisons were made to similar ponzis which have been shut down by the feds. The information that you do publish is not always correct. I would welcome you to call me and do an Interview with me. That would be worth your time and all interested parties and MLMers.

FYI, Mr. Hagen… Oz researches your company as someone starting from scratch. If you have information for the public, put it out in the public. We frequent visitors are immune to that sort of talk by now. Mike Hagen : The information that you do publish is not always correct.

The only thing many of us would be interested in knowing is if your boxes are pretty much the same as the ones sold on Amazon. Can you, Mr. Hagen, set the record straight here in public thereby saving many people a little research time? Imagine the eggs on his face when Zeek got nailed by the Feds.

I just chuckled. Nuyten initially did allow comments but then, like on the OneCoin paid advertorials he publishes, he disabled them. He also shared the post on his personal Facebook page. But then when a multitude of people demanded evidence and called him out, removed the article.

To his credit, Dooly had the professionalism to not let criticism of his promotion of Ponzi schemes for money get personal. The research behind the post is certainly amusing. Concrete stuff. The information published here does and always has stood on its own. Oz : The research behind the post is certainly amusing. Thanks for the tipoff. Onecoin articel in the swedish Wasabladet. Interesting that the investor is not able to change password to his account, — only his upline can….

Completely new to the idea of MLM and stumbled across this website purely by accident. Have spent the last 2 hours reading through it and have had my knowledge vastly expanded — Oz, thank you for your immense contribution to the unknowledgeable such as my self.

So long as you keep retail front and center, sure. Breaking news: Phil Ming Xu may have been arrested in China. It is clear that China had smashed a 2nd run of his scam which only died in the US. A report dated today at ShanghaiDaily.

Been a busy time in Bitcoinland, the HashOcean ponzi and some satellites just crashed and burned blaming hackers lol taking millions.

Quanta and Empower. Hi friend a lot great information here on your site,I can see and understand that there are lot un etical companies out there as well as a lot scams as well BUT,what I would like to know is this have you ever featured any mlm company that did pass your test,another word is there any mlm company that you have given clean bill,one that is not either pyramid or a scam?

Since I am interested in Network marketing program,I would like to see review of a couple of mlm companies who are in your review clear of any ilegalities,pyramid or scam scheme. I hope that there got to be a few such companies out there.

Look forward to hear from you,thanks. Passing By : Another coin has popped up, this time HabCoin. Anyone anything about it? For me everything is clear now. Thea : For them, too many levels is a red flag for a product-based pyramid scheme.

The actual levels has nothing to do with whether the comp plan indicates a pyramid scheme or not. The actual definition of pyramid scheme specifies nothing about levels see FTC vs. Koscot decision , i. I know MLM-thetruth website. Jon M. Taylor who was previously a victim of MLM. All these informations are going to help me a lot to warn my family from these scammers.

So thank you really much. In peru: sbs. Hey OZ can you check out my24hourincome. Lawyer Sirichai phone number removed. Thanks for the update Sirichai, was wondering what was going on seeing as the initial uFun Club arrests were so long ago.

Btw in ur opinion, how long is the average lifetime of such AdvRev business? There is no profit without other people joining. Not having personally recruited victims just makes you sleep a little easier at night. Trying to time such for your own exit is pointless. Ponzis are not games, they steal money from people and are illegal. Website just has some marketing courses. A recruitment event was held back in September with the following spiel:.

Gone are the days where you can do this on your laptop. This has the potential of being bigger case than herbalife, because RICO, i.

I have yet to see you assess any MLM that fits these criteria which I am quoting from you on your website:. Have I missed any and if so could you point them out?

I am NOT interested in Cash Gifting schemes and to insinuate that I am, shows the calibre of your reasoning and critical skills. I did not ask you to recommend any company either. You critique pretty much every Multi Level Marketing plan out there, and the ones to you don;t are in most cases arguably identical to ones you do, and all of them you decide are pyramid schemes.

Your view is obviously and evidently biased against the MLM business and should be discounted as such, and definitely not a reliable resource for assessing any such opportunity at all. Again, would it not be easier and more forthright and honest to simply point out the flaws as you see them in the MLM business model in general and be done with it?

Seriously anyone can knock anything down with a negative bias but that is not criticism. I will not longer be looking to this site as a source for any kind of reliable balanced objective assessment of anything at all. And your insulting smug condescending attitude only reaffirms it.

One day you will cross the line if you have not already and be facing libel and defamation charges. I look forward to that though I imagine no one of importance in the industry cares at all what you think. Good day. It is not in his remit to explain, which ones are good, that is for you to do your own due diligence.

I use this website as a reference point when something turns up in one of my many Facebook groups, and have saved lots of people from losing money. Two new ones have turned up recently in my groups, and once I have more information, I will share with Oz and encourage him to do an investigation. Finally, MLM is not flawed, but often people running them have a different agenda to the rest of us, plus there are schemes hidden behind auto-ship, which are just Pyramids dressed up as MLM.

Raan : Again, would it not be easier and more forthright and honest to simply point out the flaws as you see them in the MLM business model in general and be done with it? There are already websites that address the MLM business model. Two notable ones that go into great detail are:. They will mistakenly only search for the name of the company.

Enter Behindmlm. Raan : Seriously anyone can knock anything down with a negative bias but that is not criticism. As I am new to mlm I have found your articles and replies a great source of information. I am a novice at trying to find the right mlm to join and to be honest its made me want to dig deeper into what companies are offering, which is obviously a good thing.

Well I read through these reply Oz. My feeling on your sight? I like to think I run a pretty fair ship. I find this interesting — The comments below seem to contradict the nature of your own recommendations.

I have read on many of your articles:. While no one here is directly giving you money, I have seen comments where you tell people to stop the ad blocker they have. Having ads tied to the search bar to generate revenue is basically people giving you money because of their traffic. Hi Oz, your contact form is blocking me as spam, just wanted to let you know about this: ethanvanderbuilt.

Matt : Having ads tied to the search bar to generate revenue is basically people giving you money because of their traffic. This is much different than some random Yelp review or post on realscam. Plus, anyone can reply in the comments on any topic and debate the merits of the issue. The few Adsense ads that you do see is very tastefully distributed and I doubt Oz makes much income from the ads.

At best, it might pay for his hosting bill. In fact, an even more important reason to disable the ad blocker is to get the live comment preview. Ad blockers tend to block javascript. And you can customize your ad blocker to block whatever you want e. If someone goes in at are the commissions not the same if you go in at which is more expensive because you get the Jim britt motivational nonsense? Marketing spam removed. Hear there is a new kid on the block just wondering if you have heard of them Royal Dragon Traders.

Would love to know your thoughts before they launch July 1st. Do you have any information on the operations of D9 Clube. Its operating in Africa and i hear it is headquartered in Singapore or Hongkong. I reviewed D9 Clube in August, Search bar is on the top right of every page.

General news: Pyramid scheme Shanxinhui kind heart exchange in China got busted, tens of thousands protest in Beijing wanting the scheme reopened, causing Beijing police to close roads. Bloody hell. Glen Smith from One Coin and Gladicoin is scamming thousands of people again. We are amazed, you have not featured Glenn Smith, that massive scammer.

Please, do some research and out this scum bag. He is also working on another massive scam Ormeus Coin or some shit like that also. Thank you, for everything you do, out these crooks….

Apparently some victims of Saivian have complained to Malaysian police, according to JusticeAlwaysLate. US District Court Judge just cleared them of the entire case in summary judgment. Yeah saw the H3h3 win. Reckons it cost over a hundred thousand to win though… and that was through summary judgment! Check this out, it could be possible that Onecoin is behind the BitConnect BCC cryptocurrency, the next video show the connections….

I tried to contact you through the Contact page but it kicked back my message. Please let me know how I can contact you. Something is up with the site email at the moment. Getting a bit sick of it. LuLaRoe seems to be opting for counter productive MLM damage control option A, instead of fixing problems they can no longer pretend do not exist just sue some people to try and make them shut up about them.

I am what you consider an online netizen that loves the thrill of debate. I happen to stumble across your website by happenstance. I however have thoroughly enjoyed reading through your responses to those that disagree with what you are trying to accomolish. I value debate and the mental combat of opposing ideas. While I may not know a great deal about this subject, I do appreciate the way you combat those who come to this site trying to mince words with you.

You ship em up and send them home. You have proper debate technique for an online setting. I tend to go further with actually pointing out what type of fallacious arguments they use to end the argument completely. But still your set-up is golden.

If I were to describe my debating style, it would be a mixture of you and Chang he recognises the fallacious arguments and points them out. But I feel the only the best ideas can suceed in society is to openly encourage debate. Otherwise we end up with a monopoly of fascistic idealogues which control every facet of our life. You made them concede because they were unable to challenge you in free form debate. Again, I have no knowledge on this subject, my area of expertise are more in the area of politics and economics [because what else does a university student debate?

Still I know talent when I see it. I know this is off-topic and whatever, but I thought I commend you on this website which has existed since I was in Highschool, which means you must have done something right. Oz : removed the Live Comment Preview plugin today. Oz : Just a heads up, removed the Live Comment Preview plugin today. Yeah I think it got broke a few WordPress versions back. Worked intermittently no idea why so I left it on.

I use wordpress. It does give the option to let users edit their comment for as little as 15 minutes. Seems to get the job done though. Oz : Added the comment edit plugin. Tested it and seems to be working. Btw this might be the oldest and most active comment section I have ever seen. Good props on that… 7 years old and I see people here that were commenting on the very first posts. Here, you will find the exact strategies Randy and his colleagues used to build networks of hundreds of thousands of members, earning multiple millions of dollars in commissions.

This is the real deal. Are you ready to play in the big leagues? This private email newsletter from Randy will help you recruit more effectively, find potential leaders and develop them faster.

My year-old mother lost her job and started looking for another one, to supplement her meager retirement income. That she was going on my payroll, and her job was to bake cookies and play with her grandchildren.

Hey Oz? It seems like these guys are also profiting from others investing. According to Chinese news, John Wuo tried to get himself removed from the class action lawsuit against Gemcoin, but the judge disallowed that. Downloading case files, if even possible, probably requires a bank loan. Nothing changed on my end.

Oz, here is another pyramid to your collection stepiumusa. It is a classical financial pyramid based on ethereum crypto currency. Will you review that? They try to sell themselves as a cryptocoin mining operation, and claim that they will give you a good return in coins on your investment.

But the whole thing smells fishy. Not in the least place because you have to buy mining packages up to They laughably claim that they are legal because only Bitcoin is being used. Somehow, I cannot see that applying anywhere. Oh, their mailing address claims to be in The Netherlands and the blurb I got for their Feb. Access denied. Your IP address is blacklisted. I would not even bother you for this as I can use Tor to read the site like I am doing right now, but I prefer warning you in case the same misconfiguration affected other readers as well.

I had an email or two about this. I checked my end and nothing was triggered so I assume it was at the host level. Looking at my traffic records a significant number of errors began around 4 hours ago and lasted for two hours. According to my stats the s stopped about an hour and a bit ago. Nothing surprising. Page refresh F5 can eventually resolve the issue for a while, but it can appear on next page load.

See no pattern which pages are loaded on first attempt and which are not. Like the one last week I can see a 2 hr block of increased error responses.

Someone triggers DDOS protection on the host side and that affects any readers that come through on that reverse-proxy IP for a few hours. Looking for Allysian, thanks. Further, here is a customers results since December.

The founders have posted they are visiting the mining facility in Romania. I imagine it will create more concerns. The validity of the mining should seriously be challenged. I think they are running a mining pool. They mining leases I see say they get a card and equipment, but that proves nothing tangible. I think its worth pointing out the new name is used by other financial service companies and could be a way to create an excuse for not being on the blockchain in November.

Travis Flaherty seems to be leading the charge selling Kuvera. He is presenting it as an investment, using enticement, and futuring mining results. Sure seems like securities. Kuvera is selling the idea they are accountable and legit with being traded. OTC does nothing to make them accountable in my opinion. Hello Oz can you please assist me and my wife with this urgent matter regarding this CryptoInvest Scam that is using my profile and other fake profiles on Facebook to lure naive investors and a Android app and Telegram app to carry out the scam.

We believe Ankita Singh is a man posing as woman and refuses to show face. Many people are investing then being banned for questioning admins. They are selective paying to lure members and demanding members post payout proof or will not pay. The website is — cryptoinvest The website is a single static HTML page. Chicago is where Faith Sloan haunts from memory. Maybe she can swing by as an example of what not to do. They seem to have since introduced MKTCoin to exit-scam through.

Might be time for a review of Vick Strizheus and FourPercent. Actually, it is. In my opinion its not mathematically possible, that BTC is viable currency in its core, because of unreasonable amounts of ressources, mining requires.

Updated Alliance in Motion Global review was published in February. I have been following your sites from China since and your articles have really saved me from several Ponzi Schemes and non-profitable MLM companies that people were trying to get me into, such as Kyani, Isagenix, doTerra, Jeunesse, Onecoin, etc.

I also used the information I obtained in your site to help some of my friend to avoid those MLM companies. I really appreciate your hard work on all these life-saving articles and I would like to ask for your permissions to have your articles translated into Chinese in order to save more people from Ponzi Schemes and meaningless MLM companies.

I am looking forward to hearing back from you. You are welcomed to share your opinions with me. Thank you for reading! They are promoting deer placenta products and targeting at the elderly retirees. A few of my friends lost thousands of dollars joining the distributorships. Apparently too many spammers put those everywhere, that Google is killing the project altogether. The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced settled charges against professional boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.

They should have filed suit against Segal back in the day. Will the next scam be started here? In promotional emails, a so-called hybrid blockchain crypto bank is praised as the next wonder of the world. Hempworx MyDailyChoice has two new schemers and scammers who are alive and well here in a few other threads.

You have to wonder what those guys do with all those emails every time some other affiliate opts their lists into those fancy systems. Yep, I agree Bitcoin Frontier needs checked out.

Apparently the two are both hiding out in the Philippians. Montgomery in Eastwood City and Maccabi in Manila. Clay Montgomery has been promoting Ponzi Scams for twenty years. Frank Calabro Jr also is in the inner circle, now in Mexico. Why do these shady Ponzi Promoters flee the US for foreign countries?

Your OneCoin Ponzi wall of shame should also call out professional advisors who allowed Ruja to run the ponzi scheme for so long. Thanks for reading! Jun 24th, at pm Jay Volles Q. Jun 25th, at am Oz Q. Hmm an electricity MLM, that sounds interesting! Sep 6th, at am Anonymous Aussie Q. Hi Oz! Should prove an interest read on what generally ends up being a hot topic of discussion. Sep 9th, at pm Oz Q. Thanks Anonymous and I look forward to writing about them!

Finding the time is proving all to challenging at the moment but perseverence is the key hey. Was it ignorance, a false sense of security, stupidity, or a case of all three? Mido Finance provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company. For the purpose of MLM due-diligence, basic incorporation in any jurisdiction is meaningless. Any MLM company with ties to Dubai is likely a scam. The UAE is a safe-haven for scammers with no regulation to speak of.

Upistic provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the company. The three earlier available webinars, held on October 7th, September 9th and 16th respectively, are all in Chinese. So proud of my Amway colleagues who took part in this awesome initiative!

A shining example of Amway's spirit and drive to Lead with Heart. Thank you to all who participated! This entrepreneur, like many of those who are part of direct sales companies, communicates with his employees through motivational videos.
