Peter Wolfing, known for his work with Multiplex Systems, actively promotes Turbo Cycler, a scheme offering 100% commissions. This multi-level marketing opportunity charges members a monthly fee. It also provides digital tools for unsolicited contact via SMS and phone. The company's website reveals little about its ownership or operational structure.
The Turbo Cycler website functions primarily as a capture page, designed to enroll new members. It contains no discernible information about who runs the Turbo Cycler opportunity or its corporate backing. The domain turbocycler.com was registered on August 31, 2010. Its registration details remain private, obscuring the identity of its owner. However, the domain utilizes the nameservers NS1.MLMTOOLGUY.COM and NS2.MLMTOOLGUY.COM. The mlmtoolguy.com domain also features private registration data and does not point to an active website itself. This arrangement hinders public scrutiny into the company's origins.
YouTube videos prominently featured on the Turbo Cycler website originate from the "multiplexsystems" account. Several of these videos showcase Peter Wolfing directly. Wolfing's LinkedIn profile identifies him as the President of Multiplex Systems. Online, he often refers to himself as "The Tool Guy" and "The Online Tool Guy." These self-assigned titles strengthen his connection to the mlmtoolguy.com domain and the provided "tools" for member recruitment.
The Turbo Cycler website makes a specific claim: "We are backed by our parent company with a 14 year track record and many successful sites to prove it." This statement aligns with information from another MLM opportunity. The Facebook page for "Infinity Downline" lists Multiplex as a parent company. That page, published in 2010, stated, "Multiplex Systems (MS) is a 13-year tradition in the United States Internet service company tools!" Infinity Downline, launched in March 2009, operated as a $25-a-month gifting scam, also offering 100% commissions. The timeline suggests Turbo Cycler refers to Wolfing's Multiplex Systems as its parent entity. Wolfing has also directly promoted Turbo Cycler on his personal Twitter account.
Wolfing and Multiplex Systems have a documented history of engaging in lead generation practices that involve spamming. In 2010, Stephen Barret published an article on the consumer advocacy website Quackwatch. Barret's piece discussed one of Wolfing's previous ventures, "Scraper Pro," which generated numerous complaints. Barret reported, "Several callers told me that Scraper Pro and Phone Broadcast Club were developed and are owned by Peter Wolfing, who has been involved with multilevel marketing for many years." Barret located Multiplex Systems, based in New York, and subsequently reported his findings to the North Carolina Attorney General's office. An attorney representing Multiplex Systems later responded. The attorney stated the company upgraded its programs
