Making money without any effort, who doesn’t want something like that right?
Back to reality though, nothing worth having comes easy.
So, is Onpassive a scam?
Let’s find out!
Although the website looks impressive at first glance, the claims I immediately read filled me with uncertainties rather than confidence.
But I won’t judge Onpassive as a scam right there and then, I dug deeper and what I found out is something you shouldn’t pass on.
Onpassive Review At A Glance
About: Onpassive offers business automation tools. It's a pyramid scheme in disguise.
Price: $97.
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: The owner has a history of flopped MLMs, some of which were shut down by the FTC.
Verdict: Onpassive is a pyramid scheme. It has no products to offer so it mainly relies on recruitment which is not sustainable.
OVERALL RATING
What Is Onpassive?
I actually had to read back and forth and do extra digging than I would usually do (Took me digging more than six feet under the virtual underground) to find out what Onpassive really is.
The website is too vague I couldn’t get anything with it.
Here what I found out:
Onpassive claims to be a “revolutionary” IT platform providing AI-equipped automation tools. It says these tools will help you make your business 100% hands-free. They have tools like VPN, website builder, IP tracker, and more.
Chatbots and spam filters are what usually uses artificial intelligence, the tools they offer equipped with AI is quite attention-grabbing. Basically, they project themselves to be an all-in-one online marketing tool.
Onpassive claims that with the help of these tools, you can say goodbye to manual promotions, advertising, and customer services. It says that once you become a member, you can access these AI tools for free and run your business on autopilot.
Oh, so there’s a membership? Nothing alarming, quite common.
But wait!
The AI platform façade is merely a cloak to disguise the MLM side of it. I actually think the AI offer is like the appetizer to get you interested, and when you are, they then tell you about the MLM side of it.
Wise? More like cunning.
A closer look revealed there’s another firm involved known as GoFounders. Both GoFounders’ and Onpassive’s domains were privately registered in 2018. It’s relatively new.
What’s GoFounders for? It’s like the back-office of Onpassive where team members can talk to each other and watch tutorials. Since Onpassive is still in pre-launch (for 2 years now, it’s taking them forever to launch), the owner thought of creating GoFounders so the founding members can access the back office even if Onpassive is not yet launched.
OnPassive’s founder is Ash Mufareh. His website ashmufareh.org also says he is the founder of Global Domains International. It’s an internet company offering web hosting, domain, and marketing services.
Mufareh is also the CEO of GDI’s marketers dubbed as GFI Fusion.
Here’s something interesting:
In 2010, Mufareh founded AshMax, an MLM that flopped soon after it’s launch. 2 years later, he got involved with TelexFree, an internet phone service that turned out to be a scam even dubbed to be the “largest fraud of all time”.
TelexFree was shut down and sued by the SEC in 2014. Soon thereafter he also got involved with PayDiamond which was also shut down in the same year he started Onpassive.
Not a good history for Onpassive right there.
Onpassive Membership
The initial cost for joining is $97. Joining Onpassive gets you advertising credits and access to the automation tools. The advertising credits can be used to promote your website with other affiliates in the back office.
This is quite confusing to me. You’ll be promoting the Onpassive business opportunity within the back office. I assume those in the back office are already members and are already part of the business opportunity. So why promote to them?
I think this will be more understandable if you already have an existing website or business and use the Onpassive AI tools on it. Maybe the business you already have is what will be promoted in the back office.
However, if the Onpassive business opportunity is your only business, I think it will get you nowhere.
Onpassive Products
You can’t really promote anything else aside from the Onpassive business opportunity, meaning there are no retail products.
This puts you in trouble with the FTC because ultimately every MLM without no product will fall in the pyramid scheme arena.
Onpassive affiliates can only offer access to the membership circle. BIG RED FLAG ALERT!
This type of business will by no means collapse when there are no more new recruits coming in because the business model is unsustainable, there are no products to earn from.
How Onpassive Works
I hope you’re reading this part to convince yourself to stay away from Onpassive.
I’m actually still a little bit confused about how everything works. I’ve done quite a number of MLM reviews and by far this is one of the most confusing.
So anyway, here goes…
You can make money with Onpassive by selling affiliate membership. You make a team, sell memberships, and earn a commission in return.
They use an MLM matrix so that affiliate members can make regular commissions. There are four affiliate levels you can choose from; each level starts off with the $97 and a monthly subscription cost depending on the level you choose.
You can only qualify for the residual commission if you pay the subscription. Basically, pay to play.
I’ll talk more about it in the next part.

Onpassive Compensation Structure
The system works on a 4 3X10 matrix. You have to buy a position within the structure to earn from those under you, also called downlines.
The team you create will be those under you in the matrix. The top-level will only have 3 positions, the next level will be double the number and continues on until 10 levels deep. You earn a commission from each active spot in your matrix.
There’s a $25, $125, $250, and $500 matrix tiers to choose from. The higher the monthly subscription, the bigger the residual commission gets.
The $25 Matrix Tier
- Level 1 pays $2 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Level 2 pays $3 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Level 3 pays $2 on level 3 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Levels 1 through 8 pays $1 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Level 9 pays $2 on level 9 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Level 10 pays $1 on level 10 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
The $125 Matrix Tier
- Level 1 pays $10 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Level 2 pays $15 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Level 3 pays $7 for every active affiliate filling one of these p slots.
- Levels 4 and 5 pay $5 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Level 6 pays $3 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Level 7 pays $2 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Levels 8 and 9 pay $3 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Level 10 pays $2 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
The $250 Matrix Tier
- Level 1 pays $10 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Level 2 pays $25 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Level 3 pays $10 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Levels 4 and 6 pay $8 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Levels 7 and 8 pay $7 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Levels 9 and 10 pay $8 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
The $500 Matrix Tier
- Level 1 pays $20 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Level 2 pays $30 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Levels 3 through 5 pay $15 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Levels 6 and 7 pay $10 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Levels 8 and 9 pay $15 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
- Level 10 pays $10 for every active affiliate filling one of these slots.
Confusing right? Here's a table of the structure, I hope it helps.
Like I said earlier, you have to pay the subscription cost for each level to keep receiving the monthly commissions. The tricky part is ensuring you fill all the slots with active members so you’ll get more than you spend for the subscription.
To me, it somehow looks like a cash-gifting scheme too.
Cons Of Onpassive
- 2 years and still in pre-launch
- The founder has a bad history with previous companies he’s involved in
- Because there are no products, it operates like a pyramid and cash-gifting scheme
- Not sustainable
- Requires recruiting
- EXPENSIVE!
Is Onpassive A Scam?
Quite frankly, if it causes trouble with authorities like the FTC I’d say it is a scam. Think about it, this is not even his first involvement with dodgy companies.
Remember too, he’s part of TelexFree “the largest fraud of all time”. Did Mufareh change his spots for the better? I don’t think he did so yet.
Pyramid schemes are complete rubbish. It only relies on recruiting to keep money coming, when the recruitment runs dry, the money stops coming too. End of story, it will collapse.
If I’d get myself involved in a business, I’d surely go for something that’s tested to be sustainable and legit. Onpassive doesn’t fit the mold in any way.
Onpassive Review Bottom Line
As a whole, I think Onpassive is just another hyped-up pyramid scheme with it’s “revolutionary” technology blah blah. There’s actually no proof yet, their AI tools work.
If I signed up for this, I’ll just be throwing money down the drain. Plus, the compensation structure needs some Einstein level IQ to understand.
It works like Too Damn Easy, Instant Cash Solution, and Profits Passport. All hype and rubbish.
Here’s the fact:
Complicated compensation plans are made confusing for a reason so people won’t quickly see there’s really no way of making money in it. It’s not sustainable and it can even put you in trouble.
Rather than putting your confidence in hyped-up schemes, why not go for time-tested opportunities like affiliate marketing.
With affiliate marketing there’s no need to recruit and you’ll have tons of products to choose from. This makes earning from it month after month possible.

UNABLE TO JUDGE ONPASSIVE,BECAUSE I AM FOUNDING MEMBER.HOPEFULLY WAITING FOR SUCCESS OF ONPASSIVE IT COMPANY.
Anybody can say it a scam, but try establishing a global company and see if you can take your registration to five countries much less two hundred. Brick and mortar in India with a nine story building full of developers. Technology grows but the product are on the way with many already being promoted. The founders are waiting but the growth has not stopped. Only someone that has their own affilette sales machine is really saying a negative comment. Florida has a brick and mortar site,and now Singapore and Bangladesh. To have a Mlm scam you won’t have products,buildings,and growth in the industry. Most naysayers are not doing continuing research so it easy to say scams. Try digging deeper to the global structure being created then try to duplicate in just the big seven English countries and see if you can overcome restrictions set by the registration then multiply by 200 countries and if you can succeed without going and covering the loose end of registration then come back and say what a fun problem you have overcome. It is hard work and to belittle a company that has the scope of Onpassive without realizing the scope of the global scaling of a unicorn company that is over 1 million members. You can fool some of the people some of the time but to scam a million plus people is very impressive if it’s even possible. So look before you speak and don’t promote another system and expect people to believe a review designed to pull customers to your payday. Credibility goes when you get paid to talk down a real customer based Bussiness.
I could not have said this any better. The only people who have negative remarks about ONPASSIVE, do not know the truth at all. ONPASSIVE will prove to be a God sent to our world. It will Bless & benefit a countless number of individuals. ONPASSIVE started with love, it is not motivated by money. It started out bigger on a much more powerful financial level than many companies ever reach. Anyone who tries to knock ONPASSIVE is just trying to knock what they know nothing about, so they can sell someone whatever they are trying to sell. They should be ashamed of themselves. I wonder if they even deserve the Blessing of ONPASSIVE when the Blessings are made available to humanity. I wonder if bad mouthers would have anything good to say about God, if he showed up with good things for his people.
praising the CEO to a god level smells like a cult culture. that never ends well for the believers . if we examine facts and not potential or the goals: the onpassive company fails in very simple technical tasks. it is very low tech. users migration was a disaster. the web site suffers from downtimes. databases were wiped without warning. all the things a strong IT company will never fail in.
not to mention endless delays in launching. O-bless ? O-play ? O-staff ?
If this is the same Andy Birks who lost me over £ 150000 some 8 years ago & promised to pay back £100000 , still not a pound . ,but has the nerve to send me more promises of JAM tomorrow
There is an Andy Berks (Representative for OnPassive for UK and Ireland) who features in their videos that are posted on YouTube. Is this the same person? Are you looking for him? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTR0_Su-h_M&t=156s
ONPASSIVE is NOT an MLM company coz you don’t have to recruit or refer to earn. Irrespective of whether you recruit or not, you will still earn from ONPASSIVE’s business of selling genuine unique AI or ML driven internet business solutions, when it launches its products & portfolios in 2021. The company have physical offices in Florida-USA and in Hydrabad City-India. It has over 600 physical people working in a 5 floor office building in Hydrabad. It has a proprietary compensation plan much better than any other major IT company. ONPASSIVE is a legitimate IT business company
All your comments against ONPASSIVE is based on old outdated data. You need to research again on ONPASSIVE, including its Gofounders Community.
Yes your right
I am researching. I don’t see any business to speak of, just talk about a wonderful business with wonderful products and all the work done for you.
I want to know the reality about ONPASSIVE which is provoking innocents in INDIAN citizens,
Waiting to receive your researches
Thanks & Regards
Read the review you just commented on…
The ship is ALWAYS “coming in” but never seems to make it to the dock. Why isn’t the State of Florida’s consumer protection dept. investigating Onpassive’s
mktg plan. Hasn’t anyone talked to St. of FL consumer protection dept.?
compensation plan was updated recently
so people are to pay $100-$250 once they sign up with onpassive itself.
ASH promised a 2020 launch and it never took place and all is quiet about the launch that didn’t happen.
Word has it that the 50 products promised maybe 3 or 4 of them are complete after all these years of hype.
Credits to advertise seems about correct so that the traffic can be spread out among all the so called “members” fairly.
Anyone expecting the public to rush to join ONPASSIVE AFTER 3 years of hype about a compensation plan. IS DREAMING.
No one has shown that any of the products work or what makes them better.
The main customers so far will be the GOFOUNDERS.
The FTC will want to see RETAIL SALES AND CUSTOMERS – not customers that are turned into affiliates. If they can’t tell the difference the FTC will shut it all down.
Massive automatic income is just hype to dupe members.
Over 450,000 signed up with the majority of them PENDING as in not paid into the system.
ASH has the site add people from time to time to bump up the membership total to keep the site looking busy for members looking at it as they promote.
Search Youtube for all the hype in the videos about onpassive it has become a long running joke of a “business” only desperate marketers that were scammed or lost money in the past are attracted to.
Waiting to see how fast this dies after any type of launch.
