There are some shady businesses in the world, and one of them is Multilevel Marketing (MLM). It is quite similar to a pyramid scheme, and only a few people actually make money from it, and many of them lose their money.

Multilevel Marketing has a unique characteristic of strong word-of-mouth diffusion. One such product that is sold by word of mouth is regular investment overseas.

However, when you invest offshore, you must think about the fact that you should never sign up for a product through an introduction from someone in the MLM industry. In most cases, the referrals are fraudulent, and you will not be able to get in touch with them soon after signing up.

So, I will explain why you should consider investing offshore without getting involved with people related to Multilevel Marketing.

Offshore Investments Are Excellent Financial Products and Not a Scam

When you invest, you need to have the proper knowledge. It is important to understand that offshore investment itself is not a scam; it is an excellent financial product.

There are areas in the world called tax havens, such as the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and Singapore, where there is almost no taxation. These tax havens, also called offshore, are tax-free, especially when the money is earned through investments.

For this reason, tax havens are the financial centers of the world. If you manage your assets in these tax-free areas, you will be able to increase your assets at an accelerated rate with offshore investments.

In many countries, depositing money in a bank will hardly increase your money. Also, in most countries, even if you buy financial products, they are almost always bad.

On the other hand, an annual interest rate of over 10% is natural for offshore investment. It is true that if you invest in funds located in tax haven areas, your money will grow at an accelerated rate.

Investing in Investors Trust or RL360° Is No Problem

There are only a few financial institutions where you should deposit your money for offshore investment. Investing in a large financial institution is an overseas savings investment, and only a few insurance companies meet the conditions.

These offshore financial institutions are highly rated by global rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s. You will be investing in such globally reliable and well-known financial institutions. You will not deposit your money in a company that no one knows the name of.

In addition, you will be investing in a financial institution that is larger than your home country’s megabanks. It is obvious from the evaluations of the global rating agencies that offshore investments are quite safe, and you can invest in excellent financial products.

When investing in these offshore insurance and mutual funds, the most famous offshore funds for many people are Investors Trust (ITA) and RL360°.

For your reference, the following are some of the most famous companies.

  • Investors Trust
  • RL360°
  • Dominion Capital Strategies
  • Premier Trust

It is important to understand that there is nothing wrong with investing in these companies, including Investors Trust and RL360°.

Multilevel Marketing (MLM) Referrals Are Fraudulent

When someone in Multilevel Marketing (MLM) offers you an offshore investment, they may recommend investing overseas with Investors Trust or RL360°.

Even though they are investing in excellent financial institutions overseas, why do some people become victims of fraud? This happens because of bad introducers. In short, they give you false information.

For example, if you are told the following, there is a 100% possibility that they are planning to cheat you, and you will surely regret it in the future.

  • You are free to reduce, stop, or withdraw your money after two years have passed since you subscribed.
  • The principal of the money invested in the first two years is guaranteed.
  • 160% growth in assets under any condition.

There are many problems with these offers.

For offshore investments, the first two years of any fund are called the initial account. The assets in the initial account are locked and cannot be withdrawn. However, for subsequent regular investments, the money will accumulate in a savings account, and the savings account can be reduced, stopped, or withdrawn at will.

Also, in offshore investments, there are financial instruments that promise 160% of the principal after 20 years. I have actually purchased this financial product.

However, there are some prerequisites for offshore investment, and the system is designed to increase your assets significantly if you invest the amount of money you have decided at the beginning until it reaches maturity. If you reduce, stop, or withdraw your investment, your principal protection will be lost. Also, since you will no longer receive the loyalty bonus, you will almost certainly lose your principal.

In fact, the following is a part of the official website of an offshore investment company, which clearly states this.

In addition, if you cancel early, most of the money in your initial account will not be returned to you. Based on these facts, you can understand why the offer that you can reduce or stop your payment after two years, and that you will always get back 160% of your money, is a scam.

Don’t Subscribe from People Who Are Looking for Referral Fees

Furthermore, in many cases, people involved in Multilevel Marketing who recommend regular investment overseas advise that you should set a higher amount at the beginning because it is possible to stop the investment midway.

The reason for this is simple: they can get a high referral fee. The higher the initial amount you set, the more money your referrals will receive.

Of course, getting a commission for introducing some product or service is a natural part of the business. Everyone, including insurance and real estate salesmen, sells products and services in order to earn commissions.

The only problem is that people who are in MLM only think about money and are only interested in how high a commission they can get. They don’t care about whether your assets will increase or not. Therefore, they don’t mention the disadvantages and precautions of offshore investment at all, and make you focus on the fact that the annual interest rate will be over 10%, and that your assets will surely increase to over 160% in the future.

Regular offshore investment is a long-term accumulation investment that requires monthly payments over a period of 15 or 20 years. When you think about it, you have to set the amount within a reasonable range. If someone is running a pyramid scheme with Multilevel Marketing, they will try to scam you.

In Most Cases, They Disappear Soon After Signing Up

Moreover, if you sign up for someone who is running an MLM similar to a pyramid scheme, they will almost certainly disappear after you subscribe. In other words, you can’t get in touch with the referrer. This is because they are only interested in the referral fee and not interested in whether you can manage your assets or not.

Even if you invest in offshore funds and accumulate the initial amount of money you set for a number of years, there is no point if you don’t get the money back at maturity.

In general, you will contact your introducer and ask for your money to be returned to you. Of course, you can also contact financial institutions such as Investors Trust or RL360°, but in many cases, the communication is complicated because it is an overseas fund.

However, in most cases, if you subscribe from an introducer who is running a pyramid scheme, you will not be able to contact them, so you will not know how to get your money back from the fund.

The important thing to consider in offshore investment is who you sign up from, and you should consider if it is someone you can contact without problems even after 20 years. From this perspective, at least Multilevel Marketing referrals should be excluded.

You Must Ignore the Real Scam Products

In Multilevel Marketing, it is easy to find suspicious investment projects, which is unique to pyramid schemes.

However, in the case of the regular investments I have described so far, the funds have excellent ratings from global rating agencies and are quite reliable as financial products. On the other hand, there are many overseas investment projects in MLM that are really fraudulent, so you need to be careful.

  • Investing in foreign sand businesses.
  • Diversification Investing in emerging countries
  • Utilize automated forex trading overseas.

For example, these are scam products. There are many projects that are unclear what specific company you will be investing in and how that company will manage your assets. These overseas investment products are fraudulent, so you should never sign up for them.

The reason why offshore investments are safe is that you will be investing in companies that are larger than your country’s megabanks and have a higher rating. If you remember this main principle, you will not get caught by scams in offshore investment.

You Need to Consider Whether the Referrer Is Trustworthy

If someone is doing Multilevel Marketing, they tend to focus only on the money. They see people as money, and as a result, they will make pushy offers to you.

Despite the fact that offshore investment itself is an excellent investment method, many people fall victim to the scam. The reason for this is that they are only told about the benefits of increasing their money and are not told about the loss of principal caused by reduction or cancellation during the process.

If you accumulate the initial amount of money you set until maturity, you will be able to increase your assets. However, if your introducer is not good, you will not be able to manage your assets because you have signed up based on false information.

Also, you lose contact with them during the investment; you may not get your money back in the end. In order to avoid such risks, you need to choose a referrer who is willing to support you, not a Multilevel Marketing referrer who is only interested in your money.
