GoFounders Scam Continues – ONPASSIVE India Complaints
Months ago I did an in-depth review on the GoFounders scam that exposed the ONPASSIVE fraud. Now there’s more evidence from India of a scam that has not made any GoFounders earn money back on their investment, as is proved by a video in my review.
ONPASSIVE will not launch in 2020
If you are a GoFounder and you are reading this, you might say that is a bold statement I made above. But it is 100% true! This all started in 2018, and though I can see the company being in Pre-Launch for its first year as legit, it is now the end of December 2020.
Nothing special about these ONPASSIVE products, many which are already available for FREE online.
This company is not going to launch within the next couple of days with absolutely NO viable products. For the past two, going on three, years it has been steadily collecting $97.00 from every GoFounder to reserve their spot for great future wealth. LOL
Everyone of them have been played by the GoFounders and ONPASSIVE owner Ash Mufareh. In my in-depth review which I mentioned above, I exposed some truths about Ash. To read that Red Flags Review click here or continue for some new evidence.
During these past two years I have been keeping tabs on two of the major “Team Builders” for this company. It is afterall a Multi-Level Marketing scheme and the over-blown earnings of the compensation plan is based on how many you recruit into your team.
However these team leaders, Mike Ellis and Jeffrey Morlock, have both said that everyone is going to make massive amounts of money once ONPASSIVE launches to the world. Since August 2020 they have said multiple times that launch will be in 2020.
Now Mike Ellis says it will be 2021 BUT only the Soft Launch?
I remember back in August and September 2020, both Mike Ellis and Jeffrey Morlock saying that Ash Mufareh told them that the ONPASSIVE Soft Launch would happen within weeks and run for two to three months before the actual hard launch.
They were guessing that the Soft Launch would come in September or October so as to go through the three or two months of testing before the hard launch by the end of December 2020. Well as we all know, and was of no surprise to me, this NEVER happened.
As usual the soft and hard launch dates keep getting kicked down the road while the Team Leaders keep recruiting more and more people into this pyramid shaped scheme at $97.00 USD each. Now the goal posts have been moved yet again and soft launch will be in 2021?
How long will Ash Mufareh and the team leaders keep dangling that Make Great Wealth carrot in front of everybody? Did you know that the supposed tech guys in India building these supposed Artificial Intelligence infused products are complaining about what is really going on?
Did you know that the Bangalore India office that ONPASSIVE had that I mentioned in my Red Flags Review, is now closed due to problems with a bunch of GoFounders at that location? More on this below in the employee complaints. But what does Mike Ellis have to say?
LOOK. Mike Ellis deleted his video which claims another launch that never happened.
Is GoFounders and ONPASSIVE a scam?
If you read my review and saw all of the Red Flags I exposed with help from the FTC, Federal Trade Commission, on characteristics of a scam, you know the answer to the above question is YES! I am not the only one who is making these claims online.
Behind MLM has reported on Ash Mufareh’s matrix script pyramid scheme as have others both in written reviews and on YouTube. In fact there is one YouTuber that is exposing the ONPASSIVE scam too and he showcased my review here as well.
If you are thinking of joining GoFounders…DON’T!!! You will be wasting your money, and in these financially tough times during this Coronavirus pandemic, you cannot afford to be scammed. All of the positive reviews are not truthful, written by GoFounders.
In my review I showcased complaints by ex-GoFounders, even a video by one GoFounder asking Ash Mufareh on a live webinar when launch will happen so he can start making money. Obviously that didn’t produce any positive responses. Now I will expose more.
I was able to prove that the promotion of an ONPASSIVE Orlando, Florida headquarters was a total lie. I checked and the company is not there and I provided the street address so others could check it out. However the India office I only touched on as being a fake.
ONPASSIVE India office complaints exposed
According to Ash and the team leaders of Mike Ellis, Jeffrey Morlock, Marty DeGarmo and others, all claim that the “cutting-edge artificial intelligence” products being created are done in ONPASSIVE Hyderabad India headquarters. But is it really true?
If you did not have your eyes opened from all of the Red Flags and lies exposed in my review, Is GoFounders and ONPASSIVE a scam, what I will reveal next should make you think twice about joining. Truthful Indian employees are speaking out.
Jan 18, 2020, Senior Software Engineer, ONPASSIVE Bangalore – Fake company not registered in India
If you Google OnPassive India Complaints you will see a listing from Glassdoor and another one from AmbitionBox. The images of the complaints I am using above and below can be found on each respective website. I will provide a link to both to prove my point.
As you can see in the above image, the complaint comes from a Former Employee, Senior Software Engineer in their ONPASSIVE Bangalore office on January 18, 2020. This person says it is a Fake Company, into MLM and not even registered in India.
At the end of the complaint it says the office will close down soon. I think this came true around October or November. I had seen another complaint dated November 5, 2020 say the office in Bangalore was closed. Below is another complaint from June 10, 2020.
June 10, 2020, Current Anonymous Employee, ONPASSIVE, Bangalore – Worst company to work with!
More complaints from ONPASSIVE India
The 2 images of complaints above were from the Glassdoor review website which you can view here. The 4 below are from the AmbitionBox review website. Like the two above, these former employees say ONPASSIVE is a fraud company with no vision.
June 10, 2020, Cloud Software Engineer, ONPASSIVE Bangalore – Treats employees like slaves.
As you can see in the above complaint by a Former Bangalore Employee, in the Cloud Operations Division, dated June 10, 2020, confirmed what I mentioned in my scam review. That the office in Bangalore was in a shared office run by 91 Springboard.
Ash Mufareh and his upper management team are going to great lengths to convince people and GoFounders that ONPASSIVE is some big tech IT giant that will rival Google and Facebook. I proved they were a fake in the U.S. and now we see the same in India.
Oct 5, 2020, Software Engineer, ONPASSIVE Hyderabad – Fake company, don’t have their own building.
All of these complaints say basically the same thing. Management treats employees poorly, withholds pay, can fire them at a moment’s notice, the company is a fraud and scam. The above image is from a Software Engineer in Hyderabad on October 5, 2020.
Does this sound like how an IT tech giant is operated? Even the Former Human Resource Analyst on November 15, 2020 says below, ONPASSIVE offers NO job security, uses MLM investments and the Bangalore office is now closed because of GoFounders.
Nov 15, 2020, Human Resources, ONPASSIVE Hyderabad – No HR policies, No payslips. No job security
What is GoFounders and ONPASSIVE?
I believe GoFounders is currently the source of income for those ONPASSIVE operations in India and to facilitate the facade that Ash Mufareh wants the world to see. It is obvious that the money collected from the GoFounders must be going somewhere.
It has been said multiple times by Ash and Mike Ellis, that GoFounders cannot start making money until the ONPASSIVE products being worked on in India go live to the world. So the recruitment of new GoFounders all over the world continues.
Now take into consideration that this company is not even registered in India, as was said in a couple of the complaints above. We also know that the ONPASSIVE Bangalore India office is closed due to problems with the GoFounders at that location.
It is hard to know the exact numbers of GoFounders that have paid their $97.00 USD so far that have not had their money refunded to them. I did a Google search and found that there are 225,000 GoFounders. If you do the math, that is a lot of money.
225,000 GoFounders at $97 each = $21,825,000.00 collected, yet no GoFounder has made any money.
Let us say that 25,000 members had their $97 refunded to them. That leaves 200,000 GoFounders with an intake of $19,400,000.00 USD. Where has all of this money gone if it has not gone back to the GoFounders? I’m betting it’s paying for India.
There is another thing to consider. I recently read a comment on another website that said Ash Mufareh must be paying the top promoters of ONPASSIVE like Mike Ellis. Why would Mike put out videos every week for more than a year, promoting a company that has yet to launch, and do it for free?
Think about that! If you were a Team leader like Mike Ellis, Jeffrey Morlock and others building HUGE teams and the company you are promoting has not paid any of its GoFounders for more than two years, would you be enthusiastically hyping it up if you were not getting paid?
Nov 19, 2020, Software Engineer, ONPASSIVE Hyderabad – They fool the people & treat you like slaves
So the GoFounders scam continues
Since August 2020, many of the top team leaders like Mike Ellis and Jeffrey Morlock have been promoting the news that ONPASSIVE will launch to the world by the end of 2020. Will this happen? No! There are only 4-days left at the time of this posting.
As I mentioned many times in my in-depth scam review, the launch date has always been an elusive one. Ash even began talking about a “Soft Launch” to test out the products for a few months before a full hard launch, but that didn’t happen either.
It wouldn’t surprise me if people are beginning to ask, is Ash Mufareh a scam? He does have a history of being involved with Ponzi schemes, NOT as an owner but associated with them. Behind MLM recently posted a review connecting a Ponzi scheme & Ash’s company.
It seems that members of the We Share Abundance scam by Graham Frame are being funnelled into GoFounders. You can read about this WSA ponzi scheme’s connection with ONPASSIVE here. This is yet further proof of an ONPASSIVE fraud.
Do I think Ash Mufareh can go to jail from this? No! Though he has misled the GoFounders, if none of them have made any money he is basically cleared, plus he is using the money collected to pay for the Indian operations, which is not illegal.
However knowing all of this, why would you want to join GoFounders if there is no way for you to get a return on your $97.00 investment? How is a fake company in India with employees exposing many problems, going to be the next IT tech giant? To report a fraud or scam to the FTC, click here.

just wait and see what happened those who are saying ONPASSIVE is a MLM company…
within few months.
It has been more than a few months now, more like 18 months and has OnPassive launched yet? Is GoFounders a scam? Other than the big recruiters like Mike, Dan and Marty, how many members from years ago are still members? OnPassive is an MLM Pyramid Scheme and its days of milking its affiliates of money is coming to an end soon.
So, I will be honest… I have been doing lots of research after my mom joined last year. The good reviews look fake all saying the same thing, and the bad reviews you show even look fake, all saying similar things.
I want to say, I know what real reviews from real individuals actually look like, and each one will look quite different from another individuals review. So I can’t take what you shown as fact since they hardly look credible, even when I try to check the website it wants me to immediately follow or sign up before allowing me to continue looking.
Now, me saying this does not mean I am not highly suspicious of this Onpassive thing. After doing lots of research, I can conclude a few things:
1- many companies push back their launch date constantly after promises. For example the now shut down game company that was working on the game Chronicles of Elyria. This company push back their pre-alpha phase multiple times, however this was not because they were fake or a scam, it was because they were an overall poorly established company. (If want to know details can ask me)
2-the company has a membership fee of $97 yet does not offer a product. However it does offer something, that something is the ability to use “ad credits” on their Gofounders platform. However, it is quite useless since any of your business ads will only be shown to other members who also going to most likely be promoting some business. (It’s like a salesperson trying to sale to another salesperson haha)
3- it is not business bureau accredited. This doesn’t exactly mean it is a scam, but if anything means it is not at all well established in it’s current state. This is not uncommon for newly established companies.
4- it has MLM theme going on, with the whole tier lists and recruiting benefits. However, it seems you are not forced to do this.
5- the $97 is an one payment, that you seemingly do not have to actually commit to. From some even more indepth research they do offer refunds as shown in their back office, and people who complained on the business bureau website about not getting their money back did seem to get their issue quickly resolved.
So from just a few things I listed, I have gathered that currently in its form it is not what it says it is, so I’m not exactly sure why a lot of the positive reviews are currently pushing so hard on this AI stuff that hasn’t even been shown a little yet. There is possibly a somewhat unique MLM opportunity being offered. There also does not seem to be pressure in joining or leaving.
So what I will say is in my honest opinion I feel this possibly a legit company that is being horribly managed and like most companies that are horribly managed like this, they rely on emotional tactics to keep people supporting.. aka their gofounders webinars which seems to attract a lot of older people who are struggling and who mostly need a community of people to communicate with and share in their struggles. Then of course they have the people that go around consistently promoting and defending any slightly negative thing said about the company. This is not so much a red flag of a scam but a red flag of a poorly managed business. Since if the business is managed well, then that type of defensive nature would definitely not exist.
I hope my comment to this review helps anyway truly questioning or already in this Onpassive thing.. if you are hard on money I suggest not risking it, but if you aren’t… then $97 isn’t the worst amount of investment money you could ever risk to loose.
Thank you for your in depth comment. Lots of food for thought here.
9. REFUND POLICY
Active Founder/Customer shall be entitled to request, and eligible to receive, a full refund within the 30 (Thirty) days from the date of the registration of the account for which a refund is being requested.
which doesnt make sense cause there are no products to use to see if they are satisfied with them or not………… so the 500.000 people who signed up 3o days ago cannot get a refund on a pitch……..
Of course it doesn’t make sense. Not much of anything they claim makes any sense, which is why after a few years now so many are still asking, is GoFounders and OnPassive a scam? It certainly is not legit.
There are just so many scams that are launched on an almost daily basis, all hoping to catch the unsuspecting. I have not come across Go Founders or OnPassive before, so thank you for this warning about them. The fact that they keep on postponing the launch date, should be a red flag on it’s own.
Do you know if there is a regulatory body in India that could investigate them and close them down? Or is the fact that they are not even registered in India an issue to have them investigated?
Yes, the GoFounders scam in continually pushing back the launch date for more than 2 years is a MAJOR Red Flag in and of itself. Plus there are many other Red Flags associated with the OnPassive scam too. Not being registered in India seems really shady for a company claiming to be an IT giant.
Though they can be investigated by the FTC here in the U.S., seeing how much of their recruiting is now being focused outside of the U.S. may make it tougher. But knowing the FTC, it wouldn’t surprise me if they are already looking into both GoFounders and OnPassive.
This is an advanced technology IT company. Not an MLM or a pyramid. We have been registered in 212 countries. I would not depend on one person’s views without absolute truth to it.
According to current information from GoFounders in OnPassive India, this is an MLM. As far as advanced technology IT company, OnPassive is none of those.
Hello, Thank you for sharing this informative article. I think this GoFounders review to us digital marketers and newbies will improve our knowledge of this company that you have investigated. It has helped me to know what to look for to avoid joining a money making opportunity that seems to be really good but is actually a scam. Thanks once again.
It was my pleasure to share this information and I hope people considering in joining GoFounders and OnPassive that they read this post, especially if they live in or near Bangalore and Hyderabad India.
This is a legitimate advanced technology IT company. The author of this article has provided false statements about the company. He needs to back up his Statements before he goes public with such false claims. If you would like the honest facts about the company, you can contact me.
My claims are not false. They come directly from former and active employees of OnPassive India. These claims are also public on the internet on the Glassdoor and AmbitionBox websites.
Thank you for doing this expose Robert.
My parents are currently getting scammed by OnPassive and like our friend Kim here, they seem almost brainwashed and cannot see that OnPassive’s products are, at best, vaporware.
I have reported this organization to the FTC.
Could you pls email me privately- I have a request for you.
You are welcome Chris. I find it sad that people can be so blind to the OnPassive and GoFounders scam. OnPassive claims on their website that they are a High Tech AI Company that among other claims is revolutionizing communication. Yet all of their webinars are done with Zoom. How embarrassing and obvious that they are a fake company.
The owner, Ash Mufareh, just recently made false claims that OnPassive was a sponsor of the FIFA World Cup now underway, but had to back track when FIFA ordered him to remove such claims with a cease and desist, according to published reports. Now Ash claims OnPassive is being advertised during the World Cup, yet no one including myself, has seen any such ads.
Hello,
Thank you for the depth of research you have done. Where can I get further information about the company? Thanks
You are welcome. You can get more information about GoFounders and OnPassive at this link here.
Thank you so much for this. I know there are a lot of scams out there and so many new scams every day. Having knowledge of what to avoid is beyond helpful. Thanks for writing this report and helping people like me know before we get conned out of our hard earned money.
You are we;come. Unlike a lot of reviews on the internet, I take pride in truly investigating a company providing actual proof to expose their scam and help prevent people from losing their money. Both GoFounders and ONPASSIVE is a scam and I have more proof if people are still not convinced.
