Total Energy fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

Total Energy’s website domain (“ntrenergy.dgy.one”), was privately registered on April 30th, 2026.

Note the “dgy.one” domain is associated with BG Wealth Sharing reboots and Riscoin. These are “click a button” app Ponzis run by the same group of Chinese scammers.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money. [Continue reading…]

TLN Protocol fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

TLN Protocol operates from the domain (“tlndapp.com”), was privately registered on January 28th, 2026.

TLN Protocol is known to BehindMLM as a failed reboot of The Last Network.

The Last Network was an MLM crypto Ponzi run by Biashara “Bish” Smeir (below).

The Last Network ran its fraudulent investment scheme through VOW token. Vow token is tied to Vow Network, which Smeir launched in 2019 as a reboot of his failed CashbackApp scheme.

Circa 2022 The Last Network and Vow Network were run through Enigmatic Smile, a UK shell company set up by Smeir.

Today there is no mention of Enigmatic Smile on TLN Protocol’s website. Vow Network is now run through The Vow Ecosystem Foundation, a shell company set up in the tax haven Jersey.

Any mention of Smeir on Vow Network’s website has also been scrubbed.

The Last Network collapsed through a “hackers!” exit-scam in August 2024.

At time of collapse, The Last Network’s website domain was “tlnprotocol.com”. Today that domain redirects to TLN Protocol’s “tlndapp.com” domain.

As per TLN Protocol’s website Terms and Conditions;

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

In researching The Last Network in 2024, we noted the involvement of Joerg Wittke:

Wittke, a serial promoter of MLM crypto Ponzi schemes, is a German national hiding out in Dubai. Whether Smeir has also fled to Dubai is unclear.

Due to the proliferation of scams and failure to enforce securities fraud regulation, BehindMLM ranks Dubai as the MLM crime capital of the world.

BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:

1. If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
2. If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.

If you want to know specifically how this applies to TLN Protocol, read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]

Utility Warehouse operates in the utilities MLM niche, under parent company Telecom Plus since 2002.

Utility Warehouse is based out of the UK and headed up by CEO Stuart Burnett.

Per Burnett’s Utility Warehouse corporate bio;

Stuart joined Telecom Plus in 2016 as Legal & Compliance Director and then moved on to become Commercial Director, managing all commercial activity, including our key commercial relationships and customer proposition, before becoming COO in 2019.

Stuart became sole CEO in 2024, having been made Co-CEO in 2021, after two years as COO.

Burnett (right) is also the CEO of Telecom Plus, which on its own website claims to be “the UK’s only multi-service provider”.

Why invest in Telecom Plus?

Telecom Plus is a unique UK multi-service provider with a purpose: to stop households wasting time and money on essential services.

We have partnerships with leading suppliers of energy, broadband, mobile and insurance, and a high quality customer base.

This leads to a high growth, predictable, capital-light and cash generative business model supporting a clear capital allocation policy of high returns through dividends supplemented by share buybacks.

Telecom Plus was founded in 1996 and is a publicly traded company in the UK. Outside of Utility Warehouse and Telecom Plus, Burnett was a corporate lawyer.

Other than a fine in 2021 related to customer debt management, neither Utility Warehouse or Telecom Plus have had recent regulatory issues.
