The Infinity Degrees website provides no information about who runs or owns the company. Its domain, infinitydegrees.com, was registered on February 27, 2012, but the registration details remain private, obscuring accountability for the operation.
Infinity Degrees offers no retailable products or services. Instead, new members make an investment with the company. These investments are bundled with advertising credits. Members can use these credits to display ads on an in-house advertising network found on the Infinity Degrees website.
The company's compensation plan guarantees members a 200% return on investment, paid out over 50 days at 4% daily. Investments begin at $10 allotments, with a maximum investment of $1,000 per member.
Forty percent of all investment returns must be re-invested into the company. Only the remaining 60% can be withdrawn from the scheme. Infinity Degrees also pays referral commissions on investments made by recruits across three levels.
Directly recruited members (level 1) generate a 10% commission on their investments. Recruits brought in by level 1 members (level 2) yield 3% on their investments. Any investments made by level 2 members' recruits (level 3) pay a 2% commission.
Membership to Infinity Degrees is free. However, members must make investments to earn commissions. Free members can earn referral commissions from their recruits' investments. But they must invest these earnings back into Infinity Degrees if they want to cash out any funds.
Infinity Degrees claims to be "an online advertising program," yet the company does not allow direct purchase of advertising. The refund policy states, "You are purchasing the text and banner advertising. The program is in addition to the advertising. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS."
Advertising is issued to members as credits. If members truly bought advertising, one would expect unused credits could be returned for a refund. But Infinity Degrees cannot issue refunds. New investments pay out existing returns owed to members, rather than funding actual product sales.
With no retail offerings and all revenue generated from member investments, Infinity Degrees operates as an obvious Ponzi scheme. The mandatory 40% re-investment feature allows returns to be paid out longer than in a standard Ponzi. But once new investments cease, the scheme will lack funds to pay existing returns.
