What Is SeedChange? A Ponzi Scheme Making Fake Companies!

SeedChange is a MLM or multi-level marketing company that presents an investment opportunity for you to earn a ROI. They claim that they are “registered with the SEC in the USA”, but there’s something wrong with the information we found. 

First and foremost, a quick Google search leads us to a California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation warning about SeedChange, citing that the company is using the company name, logo, and other information of another company that used to run the SeedChange. 

In other words, the SeedChange that’s active now is an imposter and is using the SeedChange Execution Services image of an investment company. This is why they’re in trouble with California law. 

Curtis French is listed as the co-founder and CEO of SeedChange, but we couldn’t locate any information about him outside of his involvement with SeedChange. It’s like he came out of nowhere just to exist for this company.

SeedChange Product Line

There are no retail products or services available within SeedChange’s income opportunity. Rather, you’re only investing on the assumption that you’re getting ROI. 

Does The Product Work?

Let’s talk about their SeedChange Execution Services. Again, this is not the same service that was offered by the legitimate SeedChange. The new SeedChange murdered this service in the hopes of disguising their Ponzi scheme. 

SeedChange claims that they generate revenue through a series of investment opportunities. None of which actually exist, or at the very least, not how they’re described on the website as you see here: 

These companies that are listed on their page are no longer up and running, or SeedChange acquired the domains and are playing the imposter. 

Auric Energy is a legitimate solar system design and installation services and can be accessed via auricsolar.com. SeedChange’s version has you going to auricpower.com, which is a domain that SeedChange’s owners have acquired and set up in May 2020. 

JMW Farms is a real company based in Ireland, but SeedChange copied their website and registered their own fake domain in June 2020. 

XT Energy Group is an actual company in Nevada, but SeedChange copied their website and registered their domain in April 2020

Energeotek is a geothermal energy solutions company in Sweden. SeedChange copied the website and their domain was registered in March 2020. 

SeedChange’s owners hosted these fake company websites on the same server in Montreal, Canada and use Hostinger web hosting name-servers. 

There are a total of 9 companies copied by SeedChange, but we won’t go into complete detail about them. Some of them have stopped operations but SeedChange made sure that they’re still alive. 

So why did SeedChange go through all this effort to create 9 fake websites? It’s because they claim to be “engaged in marketing and sale to accredited investors of securities issued by early stage technology companies”. 

The original company’s last public report was on June 2019, citing $145,975 in losses for the year ended March 31 2019. 

There’s nothing on their about SeedChange’s investment scheme in these filings. 

As far as we’re concerned, SeedChange Execution Services have nothing to do with the investment scheme at all. 

In other words, you’re being played by the owners of the company. They make you think you’re investing into these new companies that are copied from actual and legitimate companies from around the world. 

The only proof of income that SeedChange has is through new member investment, which is generated via recruitment. As it stands, once the recruitment stops, the money stops coming in.

There’s only one way to make money from SeedChange and that’s through new member investment. Getting new member investments is done via recruiting new people into the program. 

How To Get Started with SeedChange?

Full participation in their income opportunity requires a minimum of $100 investment. There is no mention of the maximum investment.

Referral Commissions

SeedChange’s referral commission follows a unilevel compensation structure that pays out on two levels. 

You are placed at the top of your team, and your direct recruits are placed under you. This becomes your level 1 team 

When your level 1 members recruit new members, these become your level 2 team and subsequently, your level 1 members’ level 1. 

Here’s a breakdown on how much you can earn from these 2 levels:

1. The first level pays 7% of the investments made from your personally recruited members.
2. The second level pays 3% on your level 2 members.

#1 Fake Companies!

SeedChange is pirating these legitimate companies by marketing them as their own offerings and making people think you’re investing into these programs. 

The companies that SeedChange created for themselves have no value whatsoever and there’s no proof that your money is going out to these companies. 

#2 Ponzi Scheme Recruitment!

As mentioned earlier, the only source of verifiable income comes from recruiting people. This is the biggest red flag of them all. The FTC has issued several guidelines on how to spot Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes. 

And SeedChange violates every single one of the guidelines the FTC created. 

#3 Securities Fraud and More!

Because they’re offering passive income, it constitutes a securities offering. They would need to be registered with the SEC to carry out these investment activities. Unfortunately, there’s no proof of that so SeedChange is committing securities fraud. 

Promoting this program to other people could land you some serious jail time, especially if you made money off of the program. 

Let’s not forget that the legitimate companies that SeedChange copied from might also go after you legally.

There’s nothing to like about SeedChange. It’s just one big Ponzi scheme. 

SeedChange is a Ponzi scheme unlike any other because they created 9 fake companies for you to invest on. These fake companies are copies of legitimate companies that are still operating up to this day. 

They’re one big Ponzi scheme because you’re only making money through recruitment. 

You’re also committing securities fraud because the company is not registered with the SEC.

I'm not a fan of MLM, not because it's illegal or not profitable, but because of all the restrictions and the expensive costs involved.

Instead, Affiliate Marketing is my top recommended business model for anyone to make money online.

The reason is simple...

• You don't have to recruit anyone to make money
• You have the freedom to promote any products you want and not being restricted to only promote the products from one MLM company
• It's Free to get started

In fact, with affiliate marketing...
