According to Targaryen's 12/12/2012 post at TalkGold:

1. Flexkom are German and have a new product they designed. (Retail card machine & online portal)
2. Flexkom tested it in Turkey as Germany has close ties in that country, it has a young population and are tech savvy.
3. In under 2 years Flexkom have over 1.5 million customers and over 6000 franchise owners. One of the fastest growing companies in Turkey.
4. Flexkom knows the product works, are rolling it out across Europe and have a target of 200 million customers.
5. They are offering a limited number of Franchise positions in each country. Once they have a few good team builders and 500 Franchise owners that will trigger a launch in that country.
6. Germany, Belgium, Holland have got to these targets & are launching, UK has done the same now. Launch process under way.
7. They want Sales Managers to build teams of twelve, training for them in January and launch in February.
8. Cost of Franchise is £920 as an offer before launch. (Usually £1300) Offer ends 31st of December
9. If you have the £920 and the contacts and time to build a team there are cash & car incentives for Sales Managers.
10. Some Flexkom Franchise owners in Turkey are earning in excess of €200,000 per month. This is a huge opportunity for Networkers and experienced team builders to position themselves at the forefront of this company.
11. The company are looking for team builders at this stage, not retail sales people.
12. For more information contact please PM me your name, address & contact number or post here in the forum.

Looks like FlexKom lost 37,000 Franchisees and 500,000 customers between RealScam FlexKom Post #9 and this post.

Looks like the math "works" for the FlexKom owners selling the Franchises at £920 a pop. Wonder if there's a commission for selling those Franchises - I'm guessing there is.

But all's good, because according to Targaryen "This is a real business with a proven track record. Looking to list on the New York Stock Exchange next year."

Because nothing inspires investor confidence more than a business that acts as a life raft for those fleeing a sinking ponzi...

He claims they have been trading for under two years. To be listed on the NYSE there must be five years of annual shareholder reports (plus lots of other criteria must be met).

This guy is spouting absolute garbage.


From their Flexkom International welcomes you to a new world of network marketing. home page, there is this quote.

"In January 2013, the second Academy is taking place in Dubai. During this event, the final faze of Flexkom will be introduced"

When corporate sites are developed they go through extensive testing by the developers before going live, spelling mistakes and incorrect usage of language just DO NOT appear. A translator fluent in Turkish and English should have been employed to approve the final drafts.

The word "FAZE" would not have crept in (in my opinion) in any corporate site/project I've ever worked on.

For people whose first language is not English, the word should have been "PHASE" which means stage (EG the final stage or final phase).

Faze on the other hand means to disconcert; to worry; to disturb, (and an alteration of feeze which means to drive away or frighten) which given the thread's title is rather amusing, or possibly even karma.

They have no presence in ANY market from what I can see.

Me either, would be nice to see if any Turkish nationals can tell us about their experiences of purchasing through FlexKon .

One thing that's nice to see is that this *opportunity* has been spotted solely because of Ian Driscoll's involvement, he's often one of the 1st in the UK to be involved in any new internet marketing scheme, because of his involvement with BB and other *opportunities*, IMHO he's definitely marked anything he's involved in as worth taking a closer look at.

It might be equally useful to see what is happening in Germany as FlexKom has strong german ties and a large number of entries on Google appear in German rather than Turkish. Mustafa Keskin is German based as are others in their so called Management Team. (Don't forget that Germany has a large Turkish immigrant population and there are many German speaking Turks)

Anyone here understand the German entries?

Someone showed me this opportunity today. If it is MLM, then it has no wealth warning on its websites and has no cooling off period.
If it is a franchise, is it a member of the British Franchise Association?

Why was it tested in Turkey of all places.

All MLMs are scams whether they are technically "legal" or not because they make more money off their down lines than they do off the product or service they are selling. Which MLM scheme do you know of that is legit and makes big money for everyone and not just the initiators sitting pretty at the top of the pyramid?

Hello, I'm Italian and I wanted to have news of new Flexkom. Does anyone know if it is a scam or is it an opportunity?? Thanks to those who want to respond

He seems to be UK's ken russo

I didn't know who russo was, after a little bit of googling, yes, he sounds a right shark.

Why do people with track records like this never appear to end up in prison ?, or appear never to be confronted?, or get beaten up etc (not suggesting anyone should).


But back to driscoll, if he is like this and this is another unsavoury scheme, why don't the Police take an interest, we do have Crimestoppers you know.

Unfortunately spelling mistakes get into very professional documents. A recent tv ad in the UK had a mild dig at our American cousins and one of the things they put out was that Aluminum was actually Aluminium. They then said "it has a U in it". Actually the different letter is an I. Imagine the people involved in this that didn't spot the mistake. Bad spelling doesn't mean a dodgy business, honnesst.

Loved the fact that it takes 5 years to register. These boys should do their homework! Keep up the good work!

Honnesstlee :), there should be no spelling mistakes.

I've been involved in creating corporate sites, EVERYTHING was gone through with a fine toothcomb, then again and yet again.

Of course bad spelling doesn't mean a bad business, I've spotted a few on different sites myself and have still purchased from them.

These tend to be smaller companies with sites created by a small team of designers.

For larger companies it just should not happen, pop along to Apple,Google,Msoft,7-11,Forbes,McDonalds mistakes generally do not creep in on corporate sites like these, if they do they're quickly spotted and updated.

AFAIK you also have to be a PLC which is a bit more complicated than a Limited company. A normal limited company may have two shareholders . a PLC has a minimum of fifty if I recall. And for all their "trading for two years" There isnt a UK or Irish Limited company so they don't have any "employees". there is a German company HRB 204268
Flexkom Europe GmbH which is NOT two years old!
Registered 2013-03-27, on march 27, on wednesday as a registered companies in Germany

Flexkom Europe Gmbh (München) - HRB 204268 - Deutsch, Germany company

so much for "two years trading" LOL. Closer to two weeks!

Now where have we heard that before? It will only be credible when they have made their official application. Can anyone say "Dubli clone"?
