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?

There is no need to even get into an discussion about the pros and cons of MLM when discussing FlexKom.

It is not even an MLM.

It is a ponzi fraud made to LOOK like an MLM.

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

In here you will find all the negative. So to find out the real story you have to look in other places:

1. The idea. The idea is brilliant! Creating one system for all small businesses on the planet. But with a twist. Pay the businesses when customers shop elsewhere to allow the businesses to share profits and reach with each other.

2. The technology. Do they have it? Go to itunes app store and search for the FlexKom App you can download it now. Watch the video of the terminal I shot in New port Beach CA it shows the terminal doing some actual transactions. To create an app and to get it accepted on Itunes is costly and you have to go through a strict process. This means FlexKom spent a great deal of money on it's creation. Why would they go through the trouble? They could just say we will have it soon. App Dev 101: How Can You Guarantee Your App Will Be Accepted Into the App Store? - YouTube

3. The 4 locations that FlexKom has offices. Why not send someone who is in the area to an office to meet the people who work for FlexKom? I was in Vegas and toured the offices there. Huge space not cheap. Scams don't want to spend money on offices they usually have fake adresses or short term office leasing. To get an office like the one in Vegas you have sign and long term lease which cost a lot of money and you are obligated to pay out the full term which could be 3-5 years or more not a good idea if you are a scam.

4. Awards from other organizations FlexKom International was awarded the Seal of Quality Certificate from EBCON
and representation by a reputable law firm Baker & McKenzie

5. It wont be long now that FlexKom will go into 3rd phase in more countries and all stores will be active in many areas. If you have doubt then wait until then. But check and see how many licenses are available where you live because when they have the amount of sales reps they need they will stop selling the license. Austria is sold out UK is sold out in some areas. No more for sale period. So if you miss it you miss it forever.

Good luck!

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!
