Infinity8Gold's domain registration on January 3, 2015, is private, offering no insight into who operates the scheme. This lack of transparency should immediately concern anyone considering investment.
The platform lacks any tangible products or services for sale. Affiliates can only market membership itself, functioning as advertising credits on the site. Revenue generation relies entirely on recruiting new members.
The compensation structure involves affiliates purchasing positions within a series of 4x1 matrices. Each position requires four others to be filled before the initial position cycles out, paying out commissions and advancing the affiliate to the next matrix.
Matrix 1 costs $2, pays $2, and grants entry to Matrix 2. Matrix 2 costs $4, pays $4, and moves participants to Matrix 3. Matrix 3 requires a $8 purchase, yielding $6 and entry into Matrix 4. Matrix 4 costs $20, pays $14, and leads to Matrix 5. The final Matrix 5 costs $50 and pays out $100.
A matching bonus rewards affiliates for personally recruited members who cycle out of matrices 2 through 5. This bonus is $1 for matrices 2 and 3, $2 for matrix 4, and $30 for matrix 5.
Beyond matrix purchases, Infinity8Gold requires a mandatory $2 daily subscription. Affiliates fund this themselves, but also receive funds towards it from matrix cycles: $2 from Matrix 1, $3 from Matrix 2, $5 from Matrix 3, $14 from Matrix 4, and $70 from Matrix 5.
Joining Infinity8Gold is free, but participation in the income opportunity demands purchasing at least one matrix position ($2-$50) and maintaining the daily subscription.
Infinity8Gold masquerades as an advertising platform but is a straightforward matrix-based Ponzi scheme. Affiliates invest money, and as new members join and invest, existing investors are paid an advertised return. The source of this return is simply new investments. The company's "no refunds" policy explicitly states: "We share the revenue earned from your purchase with other members, so we cannot afford to offer refunds." This direct admission confirms that new investor funds are used to pay earlier investors, the hallmark of a Ponzi scheme. The daily subscription requirement further serves to extend the scheme's lifespan by trapping more funds.
