Graham Frame Exposed: The Serial Scammer Behind a Trail of Ponzi Schemes
Graham Frame is no ordinary MLM promoter. He is a serial scammer with a long and well-documented history of launching, promoting, and profiting from Ponzi schemes disguised as online opportunities.
Graham Frame is no ordinary MLM promoter. He is a serial scammer with a long and well-documented history of launching, promoting, and profiting from Ponzi schemes disguised as online opportunities.
From sham charity pitches to worthless token investments, Frame has repeatedly reinvented himself to prey on desperate investors. This blog exposes his pattern of deception, failed promises, and manipulation.

The Early Scams: Simple Fast Cash, YourCashCow, and Cash4Sure
Graham Frame emerged in the mid-2000s with a string of shady programs, including:
YourCashCow (2006): A matrix-based recruitment scheme that collapsed in 2008.
Cash4Sure (2008): Promised returns on investments that never materialized.
Simple Fast Cash (2013): A $5 entry pyramid scheme that doubled as a feeder for Frame’s Empower Network downline.
Each of these schemes relied on chain recruitment and unrealistic ROI promises—classic signs of unsustainable Ponzi models.
Classifieds That Pay: A Dream-Inspired Pyramid Scheme
In 2015, Frame claimed to receive a “strange dream” that inspired him to launch Classifieds That Pay, a platform mixing classifieds listings with paid affiliate recruitment.
Frame promised the scheme would:
Help 5 million people improve their lives.
Generate $2 million a month for starving children.
In reality, the platform charged admin fees on product listings and paid commissions through a classic MLM structure. Founder affiliates were charged $997 to share in company-wide revenue. This setup was blatantly pay-to-play, rewarding those who paid and recruited the most, rather than providing any real value to users. Unsurprisingly, it fizzled out.
We Share Abundance: Ponzi Disguised as Charity
Frame re-emerged in 2020 with We Share Abundance (WSA), co-run with his wife Rosa under the “Success Lifestyles” brand. WSA claimed to offer life-changing daily ROI opportunities through six investment pools and worthless WESA tokens, which Frame could generate at will. There were no real products—just a cycle of new money paying old investors.
Over time, WSA introduced increasingly desperate Ponzi mechanics:
KYC restrictions to limit withdrawals.
$10 monthly fee to keep funds circulating.
Withdrawal bans for new investors.
A collapsing token model with a “guaranteed minimum value” that was eventually abandoned.
By May 2021, WSA had collapsed. Frame then proposed a “Wesa Coin reboot,” blaming technical problems instead of taking responsibility.
2023: The Utopian Facade Gets Worse
In 2023, Frame rebranded WSA as “The United States of the World,” claiming to offer free income and happiness while pushing costly upsells through:
Poverty Crusher
777 Plan
ShareHope Powerline Plan
Easy Team Builder
The homepage used utopian religious rhetoric, fake charity claims, and manipulative emotional appeals to disguise what was still an MLM Ponzi scheme. A $29.75 “BUNDLE” fast-tracked users into “Elite Member” status, unlocking the illusion of sustainable income through login rewards and “free money” raffles.
PDF Pitch Deck Confirms the Scam
A presentation used to promote WSA confirms the scheme’s structure as a classic Ponzi. Members were told they “simply can’t lose,” and encouraged to deposit funds for access to “random FREE MONEY” ranging from $25 to $1,000. All earnings relied on login behavior, new signups, and bonus programs, with no actual product or revenue model to sustain returns.
The pitch deck falsely promised:
Guaranteed profit from participation.
$5 daily for logging in.
Commissions without sales or referrals.
Free entries into fake lotteries.
Caught in the Act: Zoom Meeting Confrontation
In a 2021 Zoom meeting intended to reassure victims, Danny de Hek (The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger) confronted Frame live. The clash was intense:
Danny questioned how much Frame had earned from promoting Ponzi schemes.
Frame falsely claimed he earned “zero.”
Danny exposed Frame’s ties to WSA, VB, and Vibe.
Frame muted Danny and called him “an idiot” instead of answering.
The call was chaos, with victims locked out of their accounts and no access to funds. Frame continued gaslighting participants, painting himself as a victim while dodging all responsibility.
Frame’s YouTube History: A Trail of Scams
A deep dive into Frame’s YouTube Channel reveals years of promotion for shady and confirmed scam projects, including:
We Share Abundance (WSA) and WESA Token
Multiply WESA – a feeder program into WSA.
5 Billion Sales – a chain-recruitment scam.
HyperFund – widely regarded as a collapsed Ponzi scheme.
GlobalAid – promised passive income with no transparency.
IPC (Intelligence Prime Capital) – another failed scam.
SoBuy – suspicious income system promoted with withdrawal videos.
V Tokens – likely a pump-and-dump crypto play.
Easy Business Builder – another feeder-style scheme.
O Bless / OnPassive – a massive pyramid scheme.
AIOP (All In One Profits) – an older scheme connected to Frame’s past scams.
Frame’s channel pushes passive income fantasies, with spiritual, motivational, and humanitarian language to mask Ponzi recruitment tactics.
Religious Manipulation and Fake Philanthropy
Archived versions of Frame’s WSA website show heavy use of religion and charity to build trust. In 2019, the homepage claimed:
WSA was a “Cloud Nation” under God.
Tokens were distributed in exchange for “contributions of love.”
30% of token allocations went to causes like taking orphans to Disneyland and donations to Self Realization Fellowship.
None of these claims were substantiated. They were tools to lure victims into a feel-good financial trap.
Email Correspondence: The Evasion Begins
After being publicly confronted, Graham Frame reached out offering a live interview. But when asked to answer a few questions in writing first — as any credible guest would do — he became increasingly defensive and evasive. His tone shifted from “I’m happy to answer” to personal insults, gaslighting, and spiritual guilt-tripping.
Danny de Hek replied:
“You’re not the one holding the cards here… You’re the reason they need people like me.”
Frame’s own words betray his mindset — dodging transparency, rejecting terminology like “Ponzi” despite years of promoting collapsed schemes, and posturing as a victim while claiming to “extend love.”
Every message, every refusal to clarify in writing, only reaffirms one thing: he doesn’t want to be accountable.

Hi Graham,
Thanks for your offer to do an interview — I’m open to the opportunity, and I believe a proper, transparent discussion would be valuable for the public record.
Before we confirm anything on camera, I’d appreciate it if you could first respond to a few key questions in writing. This will help us understand the context clearly and ensure that the interview itself is productive and respectful for all involved — including the people who have been impacted by the schemes you’ve promoted.
Please answer the following:
Full Name
Country of Residence
List of Ponzi schemes, MLMs, or programs you’ve promoted or been affiliated with
What role did you play in the launch, administration, or promotion of these schemes?
Did you financially benefit from any of these platforms?
Are you still actively promoting any online investment opportunities?
How do you respond to allegations that these schemes were Ponzi-based and financially harmed participants?
Do you accept responsibility for losses suffered by investors?
Do you believe WESA had any real utility, or was it purely used to track deposits?
Why did you present WSA as a ‘non-profit Cloud Nation under God’ while upselling members?
Would you be willing to do the interview live, or would you prefer a pre-recorded session?
Once I receive your written responses, I’ll follow up to schedule the interview.

Graham Frame:
I am prepared to answer all questions live and one at a time.I will be respectful and you must also be the same — not just shouting accusations and not allowing answers.I have never knowingly promoted any ponzies or rug pulls and will never do so.I have at all times urged people to do their own due diligence but have also repaid people who have lost money when I have offered any guarantee.I am not prepared to answer all these in writing now as I don’t accept the validity of the terminology.I will answer all in full, in a live interview that is properly conducted.
God bless,
Graham
Danny de Hek’s Reply: Graham,
You say you have nothing to hide — yet refuse to answer the most basic questions. That’s not how accountability works.
You’re demanding a live interview on your terms — no transparency up front, just vague promises to “be honest.” That’s not good enough.
My work has been featured by The New York Times, ABC News Australia, Bloomberg TV, and dozens of other platforms. Why? Because I expose people who leave a trail of financial ruin — people just like you.
You’ve spent years pushing schemes like We Share Abundance, Multiply WESA, and 5 Billion Sales. Your YouTube channel is a Ponzi graveyard.
You claim innocence, but deflect when asked to explain. You “forgive” me, yet avoid your victims.
You want the spotlight? Answer the questions. Or keep hiding while I do what I do best — expose the truth.

Graham Frame:
You want it all on your terms — that’s not how it works.You either do an interview or not. If you really seek the truth, then you’ll do one. If not, go your own way and continue to lie for your own ego and benefit.
God bless,
Graham
Danny de Hek’s Reply:
Graham,
You keep talking about “truth” — but the only terms you’ve ever operated on are your own, and they’ve always involved misdirection, emotional manipulation, and financial ruin for those who trusted you.
You’re not the one holding the cards here.
You’re the one who’s been exposed — again — for running yet another so-called opportunity built on nothing but hype, hollow tokens, and hope. And now that the pressure’s on, you’re trying to act like you’re doing me a favour by showing up?
Let’s be clear: this isn’t a negotiation between equals. I’m not some random critic — I’m The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger, and my job is to shine a spotlight on people exactly like you. People who’ve spent years profiting off the backs of mum-and-dad investors under the guise of charity and community.
You claim I’m doing this for ego and benefit? Then explain the hundreds of people who’ve reached out after watching my videos — the ones who lost their kids’ inheritance, retirement savings, or rent money because they believed in someone like you.
The only person here acting out of ego is the man too proud to answer basic questions before being given a global platform to explain himself.
So let me make this easy:
You answer the questions — publicly and transparently — and we proceed to the interview.
Or you keep running, keep blaming, and I’ll do what I always do: lay out the facts and let the public decide.
The exposure has already begun, Graham. The traffic is growing. The truth is catching up to you.
So what’s it going to be — accountability or avoidance?

Yelling doesn’t make you right — it just makes you loud.Remember that next time you join someone else’s live stream.I’m not afraid of the truth — it is something I always stood firm on.You are afraid of looking like the fool you really are without full control — so go and hide behind your saintly image.And just for the record, I am not clearing my name, I have nothing to hide or clear.If you find the courage then you know where I am.God bless you and all like you.Despite me not liking what you do or how you do it, I forgive you and extend my love.
God bless,
Graham
Danny de Hek’s Final Reply:
Graham,
You accuse me of yelling — yet I’ve done nothing but hold a mirror up to your actions. If what you’re hearing sounds loud, maybe it’s just the sound of truth finally echoing back at you after years of silence.
You say you have nothing to hide and nothing to clear? Then why the resistance to simple questions? Why avoid accountability like it’s a virus?
The people who’ve lost money — some over and over again through the schemes you promoted — don’t care about your forgiveness or spiritual platitudes. They care about answers.
And while you preach love and light, the digital wreckage of your MLM and Ponzi trail keeps stacking up.
This isn’t about control. It’s about clarity. And right now, your unwillingness to cooperate says more than any blessing ever could.

Graham Frame:
If you think you dont yell, watch the recording of yesterday’s live; you were loud, rude, uninvited and unwanted. having said that you are welcome any time you want to attend and respect other people’s “home”.
I am not accountable to you in any way. You are nothing more than an unauthorised and misinformed vigilante.
There are no “victims”
I am not interested in “clearing my name” as I have nothing to clear
Not everyone makes money online and those who don’t do not blame themselves.
We were blocked as a site from some traffic exchange sites and the members (not me) got together and filed a petition with thousands of names to get them to reverse their decision.
We have members totally happy with what we have and are doing and they are making steady incomes, we have others who do nothing and make very little.
We have some who do nothing and have paid nothing who are making money – not a lot but it’s free.
I dislike people that operate like you and pretend to be saintly, upholders of the common good by slagging of almost every opportunity out there; that is not personal its a generalisation
There are thousands of scams online and new ones every day, and I have been scammed along with many others. But I prefer to trust than doubt and will continue to do so.
God bless,
Graham

Hi Graham,
Thanks for your latest reply. As usual, it’s full of distractions, spiritual varnish, and attempts to rewrite history — but I’ll address your points directly, once and for all.
1. On being “loud, rude, uninvited, and unwanted”: What you call “yelling” was public accountability. You held a Zoom call to calm investors in a failing scheme — I showed up with facts, not theatrics. If my presence was “unwanted,” it was because truth makes scammers uncomfortable. You may have considered that your “home,” but I was there on behalf of the many people who’ve lost money while you offered them dreams wrapped in devotion.
2. On not being accountable to me: You’re right — you’re not accountable to me. You’re accountable to the countless people who bought into your schemes based on false hope, fake tokenomics, and utopian fluff. My platform simply amplifies their stories. And if that makes me a “vigilante,” I wear the badge with pride — because someone has to do it when people like you keep reinventing their hustle.
3. “There are no victims”: Tell that to the people locked out of their WESA wallets. Tell it to those who paid $29.75 for fake bundles, donated to fictional charity projects, or waited months for withdrawals that never came. Your comment reveals either willful ignorance or an utter lack of empathy — neither of which bodes well for your supposed spiritual leadership.
4. On “clearing your name”: You’re right again — you’re not trying to clear your name, because you already know it’s been stained by years of promotion, participation, and creation of Ponzi-adjacent platforms. You can’t clear what’s already publicly documented. I’m just the one pulling the receipts together.
5. On people “not making money” and not blaming themselves: You built systems designed for the house to win — where profits rely on recruiting and constant reinvestment. So when people lose, it’s not because they “didn’t try hard enough,” it’s because the model was stacked against them. That’s not entrepreneurship. That’s financial exploitation.
6. On petitions and “member unity”: Organizing a petition to bypass traffic exchange bans isn’t proof of legitimacy — it’s an act of desperation to stay alive after platforms correctly flagged you. Communities can form around scams too — that doesn’t make the scam legitimate.
7 & 8. On happy members and free money: Of course some members are happy. Every scam has winners — usually the early ones, or the promoters. But happiness at the top means very little when it’s built on the losses of those underneath. The fact that people are making “a little bit of free money” doesn’t justify the broader deception.
9. On “people like me”: You dislike people like me because we can’t be manipulated by smiles, scripture, or spin. We speak plainly. You want people who will look the other way while you present yourself as a generous guide — not someone who’s been funneling people into dead-end programs since MySpace was relevant.
And no — I don’t pretend to be saintly. I’m not the one claiming to run a “Cloud Nation under God” while upselling bundles and banning withdrawals.
10. On “being scammed yourself” and choosing to trust: You’ve been involved in schemes as an affiliate, a promoter, and an admin. You weren’t just duped — you were complicit. You call it trust, but it looks a lot like wilful ignorance wrapped in marketing. And continuing to push “opportunities” while refusing to do basic due diligence isn’t noble — it’s negligent.
Graham, this will be the last time I respond directly. I’ve published our full correspondence under the blog, and your replies speak louder than anything I could add.
You’ve made it clear that you don’t want accountability — you want control. But those days are over. You can continue your email monologues, but I won’t be giving them any more oxygen.
My job is done. The public has been warned.

Subject: Final Response – Transparency Delivered
Hi Graham,
I’ve decided to publish our full email exchange — unedited — under the blog so readers can judge for themselves. I believe transparency speaks louder than any carefully curated interview, and the record now lives publicly at:
It’s clear you’re not prepared to be interviewed — not because of some moral stance, but because you simply can’t afford to be questioned live. You’ve refused every opportunity to answer clear, respectful questions. Instead, you’ve deflected, spiritualized, and tried to gaslight — tactics that work on vulnerable people but fall flat when the lights are on.
You had your chance. And now, you’ll have to live with the fact that you tried to control an interview that wasn’t yours to control — just like you’ve done with every “opportunity” you’ve pushed over the years.
Scammers don’t always come across as monsters. Often, they smile, bless, and preach abundance. They’re not horrible people — they’re manipulators. Wolves in sheep’s clothing. And your behavior throughout our correspondence is a textbook example of that.
You wanted to push your way into the narrative — but this was never your platform. It’s mine. And while you try to salvage your reputation with posturing and spiritual phrases, the facts are now archived and spreading — not just on my site, but also across:
No further correspondence is needed. I won’t be giving you any more of the spotlight. You’ve said your piece — and it wasn’t worth the air it took to type it.

Final Thoughts: Stay Away From Graham Frame
Graham Frame is not just a misguided dreamer—he is a career scammer who has built an entire identity around exploiting vulnerable people. His schemes rely on a cycle of emotional bait, false hope, and financial destruction.
If you encounter anything associated with Graham Frame, Rosa Frame, or Success Lifestyles—run. And if you’re one of his victims, know that you’re not alone. He’s finally being held accountable.
Thanks for your articles. It helps me keep my eyes open for these scams in the Internet Marketing business. I noticed in the traffic exchanges I belong to that We Share Abundance is still being promoted in these and he had a You Tube video two weeks ago.
