Over the past six months I’ve received numerous requests to review DFRF Enterprises.
For the most part, these requests have been sent in from readers expressing concerns that friends and family members are investing thousands of dollars with the company.
These are by and large people who already lost large sums of money investing in
TelexFree
,
Wings Network
and other scams specifically targeting the Brazilian community in Massachusetts.
Upon perusing the DFRF Enterprises website, I ascertained that the scheme solicits investment from its affiliates, under the guise of asset and wealth management, asset finance, wealth structuring and investment banking.
To encourage affiliates to invest funds, DFRF Enterprises openly advertise ROIs of 15% a month:
Quite obviously, DFRF Enterprises are simply shuffling new investor funds to pay off existing investors. Provide enough fluff about legitimate banking services and run a simple Ponzi on the backend.
So why isn’t there a review of DFRF Enterprises on BehindMLM?
Well the problem is the scheme only offers a single-level 10% referral commission. That’s a HYIP (high-yield investment program) and not MLM.
I have a busy enough time trying to keep up with the MLM industry. Expanding that coverage to HYIPs (which, unlike MLM opportunities, are universally scams) would put far too much on my plate.
That and the blog is called Behind

In any event, I’m covering a newly filed RICO lawsuit against DFRF Enterprises in an attempt to meet those concerned about the scam halfway.
If for nothing else than to bring greater awareness to those who have previously invested in the well-known Brazilian MLM scams over the past year, who now find themselves involved an even more nefarious scheme.
The lawsuit in question was filed by Evans J. Carter, in the Middlesex Superior Court of Massachusetts.
Carter, a lawyer based in the town of Farmingham, claims DFRF Enterprises is
‘yet another example of Framingham’s growing reputation as “the world headquarters” for pyramid schemes’
.
DFRF Enterprises was launched in mid-2014, shortly after
the SEC shut down TelexFree
.
The scheme is owned and operated by Daniel Fernandes Rojo Filho (right), with the lawsuit alleging
Filho has been in trouble before for operating another pyramid scheme in Florida that has since been shut down.
U.S. District Court records show a man with Filho’s name was among the defendants ordered to forfeit dozens of accounts containing millions of dollars, as well as luxury cars and hundreds of gold bars, in connection with a reported Ponzi scheme targeted by federal investigators in Florida in 2009.
Carter is representing two individuals, who claim to have invested $80,000 and $100,000 into DFRF, on the promise of an advertised 15% a month ROI.
In a DFRF promotional video on YouTube, Filho tells viewers they “can participate with a minimum deposit of $10,000”.
Unfortunately their lawsuit appears to have been filed, not be
