Jason Spurlock, founder of the collapsed Network Marketing VT, launched MMB60 in March 2013, barely three months after his previous recruitment scheme failed to pay affiliates.
Network Marketing VT, started in January 2011 by Spurlock, operated on $98 memberships. Affiliates passed their first three sales commissions up the chain. The company ceased operations in January 2013. Spurlock attributed the failure to "negative emotions" among participants, not the non-payment.
Spurlock registered mmb60.com in March 2013. The domain lists Matthew Spurlock as owner. Jason Spurlock, however, claims the "owner and founder" title on the MMB60 website. An email address associated with Matthew's name has been used by Jason previously. This raises questions about who controls the operation.
MMB60 operates from a residential address in Alabama. The company avoids listing a corporate location. It instructs contacts by phone or email only, with no physical office available for visits.
The new venture mirrors the old one. MMB60 offers no actual products for sale. Affiliates buy $98 memberships and market those memberships. The bundle includes access to coaching calls, recipes, workout routines, webinars, and marketing materials. Nothing in the bundle is a tangible product for outside customers.
The compensation structure, rebranded as a "reverse 3-up" plan, is virtually identical to Network Marketing VT. Affiliates keep commissions on their first, third, and fifth membership sales. They pass up the second, fourth, and sixth sales to their recruiter. Recruits then repeat this process. This forms a pure recruitment chain where income relies on signing new members.
MMB60 aggressively markets this plan, claiming it is "designed for earning a six-figure income very quickly, even if you have zero experience." Such a pitch is common among recruitment schemes. History shows less than one percent of participants typically earn money, while most lose their initial investment.
For the several thousand individuals who lost money in Network Marketing VT, Spurlock's immediate rebranding and restart with identical mechanics signals a lack of accountability. The next group of recruits is only a new website away.
