Strongbox250 Review  – Ponzi Scheme – MLM Scam

Website & Company Information

The web domain of the company was privately registered on the 3rd of December, 2019. As per the address provided on the site, StrongBox 250 is incorporated in the U.K.

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

The office address provided on the site belongs to a virtual office registrar.

It is highly likely that the owner is operating from some different country. We saw the use of the French language on the website, so we aren’t sure if the owner’s origin is from the U.K.

Team

The team page of the website has four team members.

A brief look at their social handles suggest that CEO and DOM are life partners (maybe), but the other two guys Ivan and Alberto have no social handles linked on the team page — suggesting that these two faces are dummy executives of the company.

Mario and Olyeska are of Spanish origin.

CEO’s Past Experience

2015 — Swiss Golden Ponzi Scheme.

2017 — Swiss Gold Market Ponzi Scheme.

Strongbox250’s Products

The company has no products or services to offer, with affiliates only able to market Strongbox250 affiliate membership itself.

It is important to note that an MLM must offer a retail option if it is being offered in countries like the U.S. and Canada.

Strongbox250’s Compensation Plan

Strongbox250 promises daily returns on funds invested by the affiliates. Investment plans are called “activity packages”. The following returns are paid for 250 days:

  • invest €100 and get €0.80 a day

The above are some activity packages that were specifically listed on the site. Other activity packages permit investment between €25 to €100,000.

Conclusion

StrongBox250 promises to give you financial freedom in 3 years, and why not? Especially when the CEO has a fantastic past with Ponzi Schemes.

In a nutshell, affiliates are required to log in every day and do some clicks in order to get returns.

No Proof of Income

StrongBox250 claims of generating revenue through various tasks, such as ‘e-commerce, trading in financial markets, sports trading, and other profitable investments’. You shouldn’t believe any of these claims unless the company provide any substantial proof to back its claim.

Illegal Securities Offering

Not only the MLM is operating illegally without having any retail option, but it is also committing securities fraud by promoting passive investment opportunities without any license from any financial regulator.

Pyramid Scheme

Well… So the only valid source of income coming into the system is the new investment. And these investments are used to reward the existing affiliates You know the maths behind pyramid scheme, they will only operate until new funds keep coming in — when the new funds stop the MLM collapses.
