Behind MLM – A Fine Club Of MLM And Network Marketing Haters
Behind MLM is founded by a free-lance German (Ebersdorf) reporter living in Taiwan – Taipei, Klaus Bardenhagen. Klaus Bardenhagen publishes under the fake name “OZ”.
His business model to make a profit, is to get as many visitors as possible with biased marketing to create fear, uncertainty and doubt, and clicks on the Google banners on his website, so he get paid. Capitalising on people’s fear.
Given his website traffic he will make est. $4,000 – $8,000 per month with the banners.
Creating, fear, uncertainty and doubt (often shortened to FUD) is a disinformation strategy used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics, cults, and propaganda. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear.
Behind MLM is “reviewing” compensation plans and their biased conclusion is 9 out of 10 times:
- Its a Ponzi
- It’s a Pyramid Scheme
- It’s a recruiting scam
- They are scammers
- Security fraud
And the website attracts with his biased reviews a lot of people, approx. 10,000+ visitors per day.
Every compensation plan review is based on USA law only. They do not care if a company is outside the USA where legislation is often different.
Although Klaus Bardenhagen certainly can analyse a compensation plan, and sometimes he is right, too many times the conclusion is wrong.
His contributors do not hesitate to spread fake news, and Klaus does not prevent that.
How they have insulted Herbalife and Vemma executives when those companies were facing a SEC investigation was disgusting. Both companies settled and won their cases, according to Behind MLM they lost and “Need to be in jail”.
A couple of Klaus Bardenhagen’s biased, unfair, negative opinions:
- World Ventures – a recruiting scam.
- Lyoness – a pyramid scheme.
- Herbalife – a pyramid scheme.
- Vemma – a pyramid scheme.
- Nu Skin – a pyramid scheme.
- Jeunesse – a product-based pyramid scheme.
- SeneGence – a product-based pyramid scheme.
- iMarketslive – illegal in the US.
- Kuvera Global – a pyramid scheme.
- FM World – a product-based pyramid scheme.
- ARIIX – many red flags with the opportunity.
- Pruvit – a chain-recruitment scheme.
- doTerra – strong elements of autoship chain recruitment.
- Omnia – a crypto trading scam.
- Vida Divina – a pyramid scheme.
- QNET – a scam.
- PM International – affiliate auto-ship recruitment scheme.
- Rain International – a pyramid scheme.
- Youngevity – a chain-recruitment pyramid scheme.

“A hater is someone who discredits, devalues or downplays your accomplishments. Your failures make a hater happier than their own success. Haters need to see you go down to lift themselves up.
If you have haters, the solution is simple: ignore them and keep doing what you do. If a hater can directly influence your plans, then your plans aren’t ambitious enough.

The information on their website are 99% based on limited, incomplete, false and inaccurate claims and information. They are no better than misleading magazines that are published regularly with false claims and info in them.
If you need target leads for MLM, I recommend using Udimi. You can buy high-quality solo ads that will bring you sales.
Worldventures is a SCAM!! There’s not enough evidence and arguments to get through your dense heads! it’s just pointless at this point. Just like the flat earth idiots! There are good legal MLM companies but learn the difference and stop calling people haters when they beat you with facts and arguments.
I won’t go so far as to say all MLMs are sketchy, but the fact that most MLMs are not worried about getting customers, because the distributors are the customers! Most require distributors to purchase x amount of products each and every month to qualify for commissions. Most do not make money as getting customers that are going to put out hard earned money on over priced products every month is difficult to do. MLM as far as I am concerned skirts the legal issues because they have a physical product. I have yet to find an MLM opportunity that did not require you the distributor to purchase x amount of product each and every month, nor have I found one that is worth the price they put on their products.
Hmm, I’ve been in one now since early 2018 that is absolutely blowing me away daily.
“I have yet to find an MLM opportunity that did not require you the distributor to purchase x amount of product each and every month, nor have I found one that is worth the price they put on their products.”
Deb, you may not even see my reply since your post date was way back in 2019, so I guess my reply is for the benefit of other readers.
You’re right – no MLM company existed back in 2019 which didn’t usually have a monthly autoship with overpriced products. In fact, 99% of MLM companies today still use this outdated model that hurts consumers.
However, in 2022 LiveGood launched to turn this industry around. They’re one of the few (if not only) company that doesn’t have any compulsory autoship. The products are also high quality with wholesale pricing, helping consumers to save as much as 75% off the prices they’re paying elsewhere.
This unique business model has attracted many members who only buy products for the savings, without joining the business side as affiliates.
I really don’t understand why these websites have tio be so negative about EVERYTHING, as yes it may be true that some marketing websites could be scams, and believe me I have found a few, Banners Brokers was the first for me, then we went through aboiut 300 million FX trading platforms, including Braz FX (which didnt actually cheat me out of money, because I got ours out before it collapsed) Sadly, I cannot say the same for Cash FX, which still owes me and my family several thousand dollars (US) and that is really dissappointing. However the one sight that I am really in love with because of the way it is set up is “Barnaje”. There is a report on behind MLM which trash’s this website, and makes a statement that (and I quote) ” Barnaje has lost inmvestors thousands of dollars” Well this is crap, and totally untrue. How do I know this? because A/ I am a member and the total amount anyone has to put in is USDT 350. and thats all I have depositied. I know dozens and dozens of members who have deposited the same amount, and within the next phase of the customer acquisition process have received that back as a commission, so now they don’t have any money owed to them. Barnaje is in fact a great way to save for that inevitable rainy day. Dont listen to the Nay sayers, they are simply jealous that they havent thought of the format first. The only people who should be truly pissed off are the big familes who own the banks!! But its about time they had some competition.
Behind MLM has 100% accuracy rate.
All of the MLM scams that have been revealed were indeed real scams and all the client lost their money…..
only some leaders became rich with the stolen commissions ..
Meanwhile BFH is still promoting the scams and their leaders,… OneCOin. Omegapro, Validus, STREAKK, and so many more……
