Xtreme Coin

XtremeCoin had no product or utility provided through their program. The way XtremeCoin worked is that you paid in, and received back a commission once you signed up 6 new members. The XtremeCoin website appears to have stopped at the end of 2018.

This is a global/international case not involving a specific country.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]

"The website of Xtreme Coin provides no information to users regarding who owns or runs their business. The domain for Xtreme Coin which is xtremecoin.com was registered privately on 30 May 2017 making it impossible to know who registered it or where it was registered from. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, after all but sometimes business owners do this to protect their personal identity from people, it makes sense really and I do it with my own domains. That being said it is always nice to know who is behind a company as we live in an age where personal branding is very important and we couldn’t really find any information about the owners."

"Xtreme Coin has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market Xtreme Coin affiliate membership itself. Xtreme Coin affiliate membership provides access to “world class video training”."

"Affiliates reserve their positions in an eight-tier 2×2 matrix BitCoin cycler." "After the completion of six positions, you are out of cycle and awarded with a commission."

"The affiliates can invest in the company through purchasing positions in a 2×2 matrix system with eight tiers. The 2×2 matrix places the affiliate at the top of the table with two positions directly under them known as the first level of matrix. These two positions are further split to have two positions each under them, consequently generating a second level of matrix with four positions."

"Positions are filled in the matrix when affiliates purchase them and when all 6 positions are filled the commission is paid. Customers can choose any one tier depending on how much they are willing to invest."
