On its web site Amplifei offers a UPS retailer deal with in Indiana.
In line with Oblon’s Fb profile he’s based mostly out of California. I assume that is the place Amplifei is definitely run from, versus out of a UPS retailer in Indiana.
Robert Oblon (proper) put Amplifei collectively after falling out along with his earlier firm, Elepreneurs.
Elepreneurs has its roots in Elevacity, a journey reserving engine themed MLM Oblon launched on or round 2014.
We’ll go right into a bit extra element under, however the next is from Amplifei’s web site;
After launching in December 2017, (Elepreneurs) grew to become the quickest rising firm on this planet for 2018.
Sadly, resulting from circumstances that can not be shared as of this writing, Robert ended up settling disputes with the businesses he created in February of 2020 and determined to create a brand new firm that launched June 1st, 2020.
The brand new firm known as Amplifei Worldwide.
In researching what occurred previous to publication of our up to date September 2020 Elepreneurs overview, I got here throughout a quote from long-time MLM trade veteran Troy Dooly;
Robert Oblon was faraway from the Board of Administrators and stripped of his place of authority because of gross monetary misconduct.
He voluntarily resigned to keep away from punitive authorized actions arising from his malfeasance.
In February 2020, Elepreneurs itself accused Oblon of “gross monetary misconduct”.
Sadly no matter settlement was reached between Oblon and Elepreneurs was by no means made public.
“Circumstances that can not be shared” suggests a confidentiality settlement was a part of the settlement.
Oblon’s different MLM declare to fame is co-founding WorldVentures, a just lately collapsed travel-themed pyramid scheme.
Maybe tellingly, Oblon’s relationship with WorldVentures additionally resulted in a lawsuit.

Conclusion
BehindMLM first WorldVentures failing to generate vital retail exercise in 2011.
In 2016 we criticized Elavacity for an absence of disclosure and the potential to function as a pyramid scheme.
Inside 24 hours of publishing our overview, Robert Oblon responded by asking for “one of the best ways to provide the correct and related data”.
I replied via e mail or the feedback part. Oblon by no means adopted up.
In 2018 we reviewed Elepreneurs, calling out necessary autoship and an absence of retail focus – which lent itself to pyramid recruitment.
In 2021 right here we’re once more. Robert Oblon is behind yet one more firm with disclosure points and necessary autoship.
Leaving the luggage apart, Amplifei does a horrible job of selling itself on its web site.
There’s actually no merchandise to talk of or compensation data. As an alternative you get obscure “gut-brain axis” advertising and a spiel on how nice Oblon is.
As a potential Amplifei retail buyer, I’d be left confused.
And if I’m speculated to be a Hapinss Manufacturers buyer, why trouble with Amplifei in any respect?
Complexity for the sake of complexity isn’t what you need to see in an MLM alternative. Neither is dishonesty for that matter.
In casting my analysis web for this overview, I got here throughout a advertising interview Oblon did with Troy Dooly.
The interview was uploaded to Dooly’s Fb profile 12 hours in the past, and in it Oblon touches on why he separated Amplifei’s merchandise.
[24:11] It’s nonetheless one firm, it’s simply two manufacturers.
So what we discovered years in the past … sadly within the US, community advertising is taboo.
While you say MLM or multilevel advertising to most individuals, they are saying “pyramid” and “Ponzi”.
However what that interprets into … we stay in a time and day the place, in the event that they be taught the product is of a community advertising firm, they received’t purchase it.
They received’t devour it, as a result of there’s been too many Ponzis and pyramids, frankly.
So what we determined to do … is separate the chance from the product firm and web site.
Oblon goes on to elucidate that if you ship clients to Hapinss, they aren’t seeing MLM alternative or compensation data.
Leaving apart this data isn’t out there on Amplifei’s web site in any case, I consider should you’re an MLM that you must personal it.
When you might have affiliate’s advertising your merchandise and incomes fee, I don’t see how one can hope to cover the truth that you’re an MLM alternative.
And Oblon worrying about MLM having the fame of being stuffed with “Ponzis and pyramids” is considerably ironic, given Amplifei’s necessary autoship requirement.
As to Amplifei’s product line, usually we see intestine well being provided as one product in a spread of dietary dietary supplements.
Amplifei isn’t the primary firm to construct an MLM alternative across the idea although. In April 2019 BehindMLM reviewed Amare International, who additionally market “gut-brain axis” dietary supplements.
Amare International has been round since 2016. I’m not implying it means something however I consider they have been the primary “gut-brain axis” MLM firm.
The roadblock with Amplifei’s compensation plan is the necessary autoship requirement.
This units Amplifei up as an autoship recruitment alternative. That’s, you join as an Amplifei affiliate (preferrably with a pack), get on autoship after which recruit others who do the identical.
Primarily based on what compensation data is on the market, the popular autoship appears to be Amplifei’s Well being Triad bundle.
As per the FTC, specializing in autoship recruitment on the expense of driving retail gross sales would make Amplifei a pyramid scheme.
That is the place your due-diligence into Amplifei ought to finish. The whole lot else apart, it’s the one purple flag that may’t be ignored.
Certainly not a deal-breaker and extra of an annoyance, the opposite factor I’m not eager on is Oblon’s naming construction.
Hapinss, Amplifei… actually?
Amplifei specifically stands out as formally it’s stylized as AmpLIFEi.
Amp-Life-eye? Amp-Life-ee? Ampli-fey? What is that this?
Initially I figured Amplifei was “amplify” deliberately misspelt. After I noticed the branded capitalization although, I used to be left not sure until I searched up a video.
Once more, complexity for the sake of complexity.
And for these curious, ignore the capitalization. Amplifei is certainly pronounced “amplify”.
Completely a private opinion although. When you’re into stupidly spelt firm names and merchandise that’s cool.
Amplifei’s evident disclosure and compensation shortfalls? Not a lot.
Replace sixth March 2022 – Amplifei has been offered to LaCore Enterprises. The enterprise is being merged into Uforia Science.
