ArbiSmart Review – Ponzi Scheme – MLM Scam
Website & Company Information
The web domain of the company was registered on the 23rd of July 2018 and was later updated on 2020–01–13. The website does not provide any information about who owns or runs the company.
As always, if the company is not being transparent about its corporate structure, then you must think twice before handing over your hard-earned money to anonymous people on the internet.
ArbiSmart’s Products

Conclusion
The company shamelessly flaunts its ‘Eu Regulated’ badge. We couldn’t find anything substantial that would allow them to prove their EU Regulation. Showing-off a fake registration allows them to offer passive income opportunities and that’s what they are doing!
An MLM company offering a passive investment opportunity constitutes a securities offering, which ArbiSmart is not registered to offer in any jurisdiction. This means they are operating illegally.
The company also claims of generating external revenue through arbitrage trading. No evidence of any trading taking place or any source of external revenue being used to pay returns is provided.
RBIS Token — Another Vehicle for Exit-Scamming
RBIS Token is useless because it has no utility outside the ArbiSmart ecosystem. And for your knowledge, these tokens can be created on the blockchain in just five minutes.
And if the admins are involved in other similar scams, they will just need to clone the smart contract on the Etheruem blockchain with a different name.
The cost to generate RBIS Tokens and the cost to distribute RBIS Tokens as ROI is almost zero. The owners already have 450 Million tokens generated and stored in their wallets. They are accepting ‘liquid’ currency — EUR and on the other hand, they are distributing returns in RBIS Token, which is useless, has plenty of supply and are not liquid.
Fraudsters choose the ERC-20 token Ponzi business model because it allows them to create an illusion. Users think they are receiving something ‘valuable’ on their end, but in reality, these tokens are all smokes and mirrors.
