A man using the YouTube alias "Curtis Webb" is running M80 Advertising, a $75-a-month pyramid scheme with no actual products to sell.

The scheme operates from a privately registered website launched in December 2022, shortly after Webb's previous MLM venture collapsed. According to an update posted in January 2024, Jeremy Duncan—a US resident in Indiana—now claims ownership of the operation. But the company initially hid its leadership entirely from public view, a red flag that should stop anyone from handing over money.

Here's how it works: Affiliates pay $75 monthly. They make money only by recruiting others to do the same. M80 Advertising has no retailable products or services. There's nothing to actually sell except the affiliate membership itself.

Webb ran the scheme's marketing through a YouTube channel under his own name, promoting videos and educational content while collecting monthly fees from recruits. Before launching M80 Advertising, Webb was pushing VIP Global Stars, a LaCore Enterprises MLM run by Eric Caprarese that imploded in the second half of 2022. Within weeks, Webb had a new hustle ready to go.

The compensation structure reveals the pyramid's mechanics. Recruiters earn $25 per month for each person they sign up. That's the real money—getting new members to pay the entry fee.

Beyond recruitment commissions, the scheme layers on "residual commissions" through a 2×10 matrix system. Essentially, an affiliate sits at the top with two positions beneath them. Those two split into four at the next level, then eight, then sixteen, doubling at each level down to ten levels deep. For each filled position in their matrix, an affiliate gets $2 a month. Fill all 1,022 positions possible in a complete 2×10 matrix, and you're earning roughly $2,044 monthly—but only if you can somehow recruit enough people and maintain their memberships.

A "Matching Bonus" kicks in once someone recruits four affiliates. They then earn 100% matching commissions from whatever their direct recruits make, but only on recruits beyond that initial four.

The math doesn't hide what's happening. All money flowing into the system comes from monthly membership fees. No revenue comes from selling anything to actual customers. The $75 monthly payments from new recruits get redistributed as recruitment bonuses and matrix commissions to earlier participants. Once recruitment slows—which it inevitably does—the whole operation suffocates.

M80 Advertising initially kept its ownership secret, a classic MLM tactic. When a company running by these rules won't tell you who's in charge, that's your answer about whether to join. The January 2024 reveal of Duncan's name doesn't change the fundamental structure.

This is a straightforward pyramid scheme. The only sustainable income comes from recruiting, and recruits only profit if they recruit others. The moment you stop bringing in new people paying $75 a month, your commissions disappear. Most participants lose money. The winners are the ones who got in first and recruited aggressively—like Curtis Webb and Jeremy Duncan.
