FCBQE fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.

FCBQE represents it is headed up by “Robert Simon” and other named executives.

Simon and the rest of the executives however are represented by a stolen profile photos:

None of FCBQE’s claimed executives exist.

FCBQE’s website domain (“fcbqe.com”), was privately registered with bogus details on April 2nd, 2024.

Of note is FCBQE’s domain being registered through the Chinese registrar Alibaba (Singapore).

Despite existing for less than a month, FCQBE has already attracted the attention of regulators. On April 4th the Central Bank of Russia issued an FCQBE pyramid fraud warning.

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…]

TetherScan fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.

TetherScan is purportedly headed up by “Lu Shengli”, who features in TetherScan’s marketing videos:

Curiously, TetherScan’s marketing videos feature Shengli as CEO of USDTScan.

TetherScan’s website domain (“tetherscan.org”), was privately registered on December 31st, 2023.

USDTScan has its own website up at “usdtscan.com”, privately registered in October 2022.

Of additional note is TetherScan’s website being a clone of USDTScan:

Putting all of this together, we can ascertain that USDTScan launched before TetherScan. Whoever is running both schemes is recycling USDTScan material to market TetherScan.

Between both schemes, Lu Shengli doesn’t exist outside of USDTScan’s or TetherScan’s marketing. This makes him a prime Boris CEO candidate.

Russians and/or Ukrainians are typically behind Boris CEO schemes. That is actors used to represent fictional executives.

Further supporting this is Ukrainian in USDTScan’s website source-code:

Although TetherScan is a clone of USDTScan’s website, this Ukrainian word has been scrubbed from TetherScan’s website source-code.

Cryptriva fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

In fact as I write this, Cryptriva’s website is nothing more than an affiliate signup/log in form:

Cryptriva’s website domain (“cryptriva.com”), was privately registered on January 29th, 2024.

In an attempt to appear legitimate, Cryptriva represents it has shell companies registered in the US and Canada.

Due to the ease with which scammers are able to incorporate shell companies with bogus details, for the purpose of MLM due-diligence these certificates are meaningless.

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…]
