Found this one at the MMG ponzi forum....
No doubt the usual reff-whores(Stroz, KenRusso and others) will be all over this one....

PrelaunchAustralia(dot)info.....

The usual BS....



Global Pre-launch Opportunity

Pre Launch Australia is now in Global Pre Launch, everyone now has the opportunity to register a FREE position in their country.

Starting in over 41 countries, there has never been a better time to secure a free top position.

Many experts and top business leaders have joined in spreading the word early about Pre Launch Australia.

MLM experts note that most income earned in any opportunity comes from promoting and joining during the opportunity’s early stages. Now you have that same opportunity.

It’s simple to join. Simply click on the join now tab and complete some basic information to register your free top position. You will have access to the member’s area, where you can keep track of everyone who joins after you and also from people who you personally enroll from your very own Pre Launch site. Remember, the key to your success is to share your website with business owners, marketers, family, friends, MLM experts and everyone that you know. As thousands of people join in this prelaunch stage, you will have an opportunity to earn an income from everyone that joins after you. Soon everyone will be promoting Pre Launch Australia, so make sure you promote it first.

Given the:

* history of the owner/s
* the fact there's no actual product
* borderline fraud businesses of the Walshs
* the fraudsters' own admissions
* the fact it's on both MMG and Talkgold
* it's one of those HYIP ponzi style "pre launches"

it's not hard to think this is gonna be one for the hardcore HYIP ponzi players only and no "real" people are going to lose their money (if it gets off the ground at all, that is)

I wouldn't mind betting this one turns out to be a typical end-of-the-cycle HYIPs which doesn't even last more than a couple of weeks.

That name rings a bell. Wasn't that one of Wanrat's recommendations? Wanrat claimed he was fluent in Mandarin Chinese and two other dialects. Perhaps he is doing better scamming on your side of the globe?

But,but,but how about a product? Maybe there is one in here...

Product
There is 1 trillion dollars around the world being exchanged every day. So in alliance with the Direct Sales/MLM USA company, we show that by using our strategy you can get a piece of the trillion dollar wealth transfer from top companies, like Google and Groupon.

The Direct Sales/MLM USA company’s software is built on the Microsoft platform. It is creating news headlines around the world, with successful launches in the USA, UK, Australia, Russia, Germany and Austria - there has never been a better time to join our strategy.
Then again...maybe not...! What a joke...!!

I just want to know how this person got the information to broadcast that the Prelaunch Australia scam IS a scam.

I don't know if it is or it isn't but people who shoot first and ask questions later are usually not to be counted among the most trustworthy of individuals.

I'm just sayin.....

If it's being pimped on forum's like MMG and the crime forum TG, and it is, then it has a 99.9 % chance of being a scam.

I'm just saying.....

It's pretty much laid out in post #4. You should actually read it. Just sayin.

UH OH !

PreLaunch Australia STILL hasn't launched and it's already in the MMG "Closed, Inactive and Offline programs" folder

Man, that's bad.

When the MoneyMakersGroup forum has you down as a scam, you really ARE a scam.

With the permission of "ozsoapbox" of behindmlm.com (http://behindmlm.com) blog here's some excerpts from his excellent work on tracing the connections of the "prelaunchaustralia" scam and the scammers behind it:


EXPOSED: PreLaunch Australia is MyShoppingGenie! (http://behindmlm.com/companies/exposed-prelaunch-australia-is-just-myshoppinggenie/)

Jul.31, 2011 in companies, MyShoppingGenie

Yesterday I wrote about the mysterious business opportunity ‘PreLaunch Australia’.

Due to a complete lack of information provided on the PreLaunch Australia website, I did my best to review the
opportunity with what little information
was provided.

To cut a long story short, I suspected that the PreLaunch Australia opportunity would have something to do with marketing and advertising.

Paired with a ‘technology company’, it was also highly likely that in terms of PreLaunch Australia, you’d most likely be looking at some form of lead generation.

Turns out I wasn’t far from the mark.

Shortly after publishing my original review of PreLaunch Australia (http://behindmlm.com/companies/prelaunch-australia-an-income-strategy-product-line/), BehindMLM reader "MaryPatFisher" mentioned that after conducting her own research into PreLaunch Australia, she’d come across the website ‘PreLaunch Malaysia’.

PreLaunch Malaysialooked identical to PreLaunch Australia and it was pretty easy to tell they’d been designed by the same person(s).

PreLaunch Malaysia looked identical to PreLaunch Australia and it was pretty easy to tell they’d been designed by the same person(s).

Here’s PreLaunch Australia;

and here’s PreLaunch Malaysia;

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc153/thelittleroundman/PRmalaysia.jpg


Unfortunately, like PreLaunch Australia, PreLaunch Malaysia’s domain whois information was confidential so I still had no idea who was running things.

One notable difference between the two websites I spotted however was the inclusion of the tagline ‘Independent Distributor of MyNet Univ. Inc.’ at the bottom of all the pages on the Malaysian website.

Further research led me to a third near identical site over at ‘Europeanlaunch.eu’.

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc153/thelittleroundman/europeanlaunch.jpg

Update 31 July 2011: Troy Dooly over at MLMHelpDesk sent me a whois for PreLaunch Australia’s nameserver, (ns1.prelaunchaustralia.net).


That whois contains the contact email address, samfawahl@hotmail.com and co-incidentally, there’s a ‘Sam Fawahl’ (see photo below) promoting PreLaunch Australia over at Twitter.
(WHOIS information removed by moderator )


Along with PreLaunch Australia, Sam Fawahl is also promoting something called the Beehive Strategy (http://behindmlm.com/companies/the-beehive-strategy-reducing-mlm-to-recruitment/), of which he is the co-founder of along with Adam Marks.

So what’s the Beehive Strategy?

It appears to be a marketing system for MyShoppingGenie that Fawahl and Marks have been trying to push since late 2010 without much luck.

From the now defunct ‘thebeehivestrategy.org’;

Hey Everyone,

I appreciate all you do with regard to informing the public of scams.

My name is Brandon Walsh, and I just wanted to let you know that much of what you posted was incorrect.

See here: Breaking MLM News Correction: Small Correction And Huge Update On Prelaunch Australia | MLM Help Desk (http://mlmhelpdesk.com/breaking-mlm-news-correction-small-correction-and-huge-update-on-prelaunch-australia/)

I DO own the domain PreLaunchAustralia.com, but it was purchased (a long time ago) with the intent of promoting the business I am a part of (itworks.net), which is a very legitimate direct selling company that was expanding to Australia. I would NEVER promote the Pre Launch opportunity which was being discussed in this thread.

I DID promote Noobing a long time ago, and I was ripped off, and I do my best to help others realize scams when I see them as well. I would never promote an HYIP program, or something similar again.

Just wanted to clear that up, hope you all understand.

Thanks
Brandon
