ClicXAds Review  –  Ponzi Scheme  –  MLM Scam

Website & Company Information

The web domain of the company was privately registered on the 24th of January 2017 and was re-registered on 2020–02–16. Since the domain was first registered in 2017, it was used to market a PTC script — info courtesy https://web.archive.org/.

The website does not provide any information about the owner of the company, so we don’t know anything about the team. The ‘Terms of Service’ page did provide a company number 12228018 located in the United Kingdom.

Please read these terms of service (“Terms”, “terms of service”) carefully before using clicxads.com website (the “Service”) operated by GLOBAL ADVERTS NETWORK LTD company number 12228018 located in the United Kingdom.

We ran a search with the number on beta.companieshouse.gov.uk and found that the owner is Sarah SOULEYMANE.

Fact: The UK is one of the most favourable jurisdictions for scammers, and 90% of all the shady MLMs are registered in the UK Also, UK incorporation is dirt cheap.

At the time of writing this article, Alexa cites India (28.3%), Egypt (16.8%) and Malaysia (5.3%) as top sources of traffic to ClixAds’s website. The team can be operating from any of these countries.

A sneak peek into the official YT channel of ClicxAds showed us the face behind the company, Frank Nii Okanta Ankrah. The CEO is a famous digital marketer from Africa. We didn’t find anything negative about him on the web.

Unprofessional Site

The site is very untidy, and some pages don’t even work. It looks like the site was made by copying a WordPress Youtube tutorial and not by any professional. These sites are easy to make!

Conclusion

Just like any other Ads MLM company, ClicXAds satisfies all the conditions of a typical adcredit Ponzi scheme and SEC has gone hard on these schemes.

In a nutshell, these schemes require one to just signup, invest in a random AdPack and collect the ROI. These ROIs are paid using the money invested by new affiliates, and this is why it is termed a Ponzi Scheme. Not only that, but these schemes are also aggressive in referral commission so that they can keep getting new users and with new users comes fresh money.

Even the commissions are paid using the money invested by new affiliates and once affiliate recruitment runs dry so too will new investment. Lack of new investment will trigger a system collapse as the withdrawals side will become greater than the deposit side. When this happens, the majority of the participants will lose their hard-earned money.
