Our Gas Club Review: Troy Mason still at it with gas pyramids

Troy Mason is still in the gas business. And investigators say his track record suggests he's running the same scam with a new coat of paint.

Mason is president and CEO of Our Gas Club, a company he quietly registered on March 2nd, 2022. You won't find his name on the homepage. The company buried his role in the webinars section, where it discloses Mason runs the operation.

This is Mason's playbook. In 2013, he launched Gas Club of America, a matrix-based pyramid scheme wrapped around penny auctions. When that crashed, he moved on. Zlicense came next in 2015. Then ZBlackCard in 2018. Each company followed the same pattern: flash new concept, recruit aggressively, move to the next venture when regulators came calling.

Our Gas Club fits the mold. During an April 8th, 2022 corporate webinar, Mason claimed he'd seen rising gas prices and decided to launch the company four months earlier to capitalize on the trend. The math checks out. A video promoting what would become Our Gas Club surfaced on November 4th, 2021—roughly four months before domain registration.

What Mason didn't mention on that webinar was his most recent federal case.

In June 2021, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission sued Mason and his company Ztegrity for fraud. According to the complaint, from October 2019 onward, Mason pitched something called "The Black Club" and "The Forex Savings Club" to 411 participants who collectively pumped in over $460,000.

Mason sold it as a savings account with high returns and minimal risk. The pitch relied on two core lies: he guaranteed participants would get their money back, and he promised them a share of substantial profits generated through forex trading. Neither claim had any basis.

The CFTC accused Mason of using websites and social media to fraudulently solicit investors. He never registered with the agency as required by law. On June 9th, the CFTC filed an emergency motion seeking to freeze assets and halt the operation.

The timing matters. Our Gas Club launched less than a year after the CFTC's complaint, suggesting Mason had already moved on to his next scheme before the lawsuit could gain traction.

His pattern is clear: spot a trend, build hype, extract money from participants by promising guaranteed returns or life-changing wealth, then rebrand when heat arrives. Gas prices, forex trading, black cards—the product changes. The structure stays the same.

For regulators, Mason represents a persistent problem. He operates fast, moves between states and business models, and keeps launching new entities before authorities can shut down the old ones. Participants in his schemes rarely recover their money.

Our Gas Club is now live and recruiting. Mason is telling people he saw the trend coming. What he isn't saying is that he saw this particular law enforcement approach coming too.
