Prife’s Compensation Plan

The next evaluation is predicated on Prife compensation documentation supplied by Prife associates within the Philippines and US.
Prife pays commissions on recruitment of associates and any subsequent product purchases (assumed, see evaluate conclusion).
Recruitment Commissions
Prife associates pay $320 to $3200 after they join. This payment is used to pay a fee to whoever recruited them:

Subsequent ranges of the binary crew are generated as required, with every new degree housing twice as many positions because the earlier degree.
Positions within the binary crew are crammed through direct and oblique recruitment of associates. Observe there isn’t a restrict to how deep a binary crew can develop.
Prife restricts residual commissions from the fourth binary crew degree. This successfully means Prife associates should construct a downline of thirty associates to qualify for residual commissions.
Prife pays residual commissions as a share of gross sales quantity generated throughout the binary crew from the fourth degree.

Prife Conclusion
Prife is a clearcut pyramid scheme. Newly recruited associates join and pay a payment, which is used to pay whoever recruited them.
There are not any retail gross sales and god is aware of how the remainder of Prife’s merchandise match into the compensation plan past the preliminary recruitment packages.
This isn’t talked about in Prife’s compensation documentation. I’m guessing although that every merchandise has a GV quantity hooked up to it, which is paid out through residual commissions (binary crew).
Getting again to Prife’s recruitment packages, no person wants ten iTeraCare gadgets – not to mention a single hairdryer for $3200. That is apparent stock loading which, if current, is a powerful indication an MLM firm operates as a pyramid scheme.
And on that observe, Prife’s product vary is a mix of whitelabeled Alibaba merchandise and dietary supplements of principally unknown origin.
Whereas there’s loads of kookiness on supply, let’s focus in on Prife’s flagship iTeraCare hairdryers.
One of many principal pillars of success for Prife is the prevalence of its i-TeraCare product. Its flagship product i-TeraCare, provides unbelievable well being advantages with a give attention to Terahertz expertise.
Make no mistake, all these gadgets do is blow sizzling hair round. Whether or not that leaves you feeling heat and fuzzy inside is all the way down to a heating ingredient. Prife’s iTeraCare gadgets haven’t been independently examined.
That is evident by means of the Philippine FDA issuing an iTeraCare “medical machine” warning in Might 2024.
The FDA verified by means of post-marketing surveillance that the abovementioned medical machine product is just not notified and no corresponding Product Notification Certificates has been issued.
All involved institutions are warned to not distribute, advertis, or promote the stated violative medical machine product till the Product Notification Certificates is issued, in any other case, regulatory actions and sanctions shall be strictly pursued.
Prife hasn’t submitted their iTeraCare merchandise as medical gadgets in order that the related advertising claims are examined, as a result of all they’re doing is shopping for client grade items from Alibaba (or equal).
Prife’s iTeraCare Professional machine is flogged to newly recruited associates for $3200. You may get the very same machine shipped to you immediately for $269.
Prife’s different iTeraCare gadgets can be found direct to client from the identical producer:
I additionally couldn’t assist however discover a good quantity of Prife’s merchandise aren’t accessible in Canada.
Maybe the corporate has already run into regulatory issues there (or seeing because the merchandise are generic client items, maybe they’ve already raised crimson flags).
Imagine it or not, Prife operating a pyramid scheme and promoting Alibaba merchandise at an enormous markup isn’t the worst factor concerning the firm.
Prife launched in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and its advertising displays this.
Naturally with Prife making unlawful unsubstantiated medical claims to market its merchandise, so too does its associates.
Within the Philippines Prife associates are advertising “wanding providers” as a “self-healing mechanism” to deal with psoriasis, and Parkinson’s illness.
In Ghana Prife associates are opening up “medical facilities”:
On the frontend Spintex Medical Middle sufferers are promised remedy for all method of illnesses. The backend of the enterprise sees Spintex Medical Middle recruits its sufferers into Prife:
As appalling as what’s being executed within the open is, spare a thought for the unlawful Prife advertising occurring behind closed doorways:
Malaysia sadly has a fairly poor file of coping with MLM associated fraud. So don’t anticipate a lot there.
Particularly when Prife is generally concentrating on victims outdoors of Malaysia. As of November 2024, SimilarWeb tracked prime sources of web site site visitors to Prife’s web site because the US (72%), Vietnam (12%), the Philippines (7%) and Malaysia (4%).
If you happen to’re questioning why this nonsense hasn’t popped up on the FDA’s or FTC’s radar but, that very same month SimilarWeb tracked simply ~18,000 month-to-month visits to Prife’s web site.
If the unlawful medical declare advertising continues (and it’s been there since launch so why wouldn’t it?), hopefully a regulatory investigation is triggered.
Between Prife’s anti-consumer due-diligence selections, operating a pyramid scheme and unlawful unsubstantiated medical claims, and Steven Lai’s unhealthy obsession with solely showing in public carrying a fedora…
…as an MLM firm Prife is a simple laborious go. On the very least if you wish to strive Prife’s overpriced hairdryers, buy them immediately from the factories in China.
At worst you’ll be out a number of hundred {dollars}, which positive beats the choice.
