The TwizSales website domain, registered on November 27, 2014, lists Ufoma Makpe Ibikunle as the owner, with an incomplete address in Cádiz, Spain. The company’s FAQ states it is a registered Spanish company. An "official" Facebook group for TwizSales is managed by Mariam Ufoma Makpa Ibikunle and Asif Bhatti.
Ufoma Makpe Ibikunle appears to be the administrator of TwizSales, given her ownership of the website domain. The exact role of Asif Bhatti within the company remains unclear. Mariam Ufoma Makpa Ibikunle’s Facebook profile, created in February 2015, solely promotes TwizSales. A YouTube account under the same name was established a month earlier, in January.
Evidence suggests TwizSales evolved from a previous venture named esClicks. Advertisements for esClicks appeared on the Ibikunle Facebook account in March. The esClicks website design is nearly identical to TwizSales, with similar content. esClicks operated as a pay-to-click site, offering minimal compensation to affiliates for clicking ads. The domain registration for esClicks mirrors that of TwizSales, with Ibikunle listed as the owner.
Asif Bhatti’s online activity reveals a history of promoting numerous questionable schemes. His Facebook timeline features promotions for various investment scams including MadvertisingPro, Traffic Monsoon, BnB Trades, DigAdz, Genesis Global Network, Globaliz Biz, PayAdShares, The Achieve Community, and GlobalAdShare. The Achieve Community was a $3.8 million Ponzi scheme that the SEC shut down.
Further investigation into Bhatti's past promotions includes Argent Global Network, Paidverts, Libertagia, AdCycleProfit, WaraNetwork, MutualWealth, Partners Pay, XtremeCashBox, and AdsProfitWiz. He also consistently promotes lower-tier high-yield investment programs. The pattern of these promotions suggests that whoever is behind the Mariam Ufoma Makpa Ibikunle persona possesses significant experience in the MLM industry, similar to Bhatti.
While Bhatti may not directly control the Mariam Ufoma Makpa Ibikunle account, his involvement indicates he knows the individual responsible. Companies in the MLM space that are not transparent about their ownership and management should be approached with extreme caution. Potential investors should thoroughly research such entities before committing any funds.
TwizSales offers no retailable products or services. Affiliates can only market membership within the company itself. TwizSales advertises its offerings as advertising services, but the core business model appears to revolve around affiliate recruitment. The company promises a "$5 Global Profit Share," suggesting a revenue-sharing model based on recruitment and ad sales. Affiliates earn commissions on the sale of advertising packages and through a multi-level structure.
The compensation plan for TwizSales involves a direct referral commission and a matrix commission. Affiliates earn 10% on sales made by their direct recruits. The matrix commission is paid out through a 2xN structure, where N is determined by the number of direct referrals. This means affiliates earn commissions from recruits down multiple levels, incentivizing the recruitment of new members. The "$5 Global Profit Share" appears to be a bonus distributed among top recruiters, further emphasizing the recruitment-driven nature of the scheme.
The lack of tangible products or services, coupled with a heavy reliance on recruitment for revenue, strongly suggests that TwizSales operates as a pyramid scheme. Such schemes are unsustainable and inevitably collapse when recruitment slows, leaving the majority of participants with significant financial losses. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has a long history of investigating and prosecuting such fraudulent operations.
