Quote: From a Google search (looks like i-Fortuity and Intelefone are the same thing) it looks like their web site is supposed to be reselling VoIP service and they're supposed to get a percentage of the revenue. Basically, it looks like a bogus franchise system.
Classic MLM/Pyramid scheme, the hook is the ongoing revenue but when somebody has joined they realise their only hope of even recovering their initial investment is to resell the scheme to other people and get a cut of their joining fee.
A while back the Herbalife scheme swept through the south coast of the UK. I previously read about it operating in the US, and when a friend mentioned a friend of his was talking about a business opportunity I identified it as Herbalife even before the other person had been told about the nature of the business! We talked him out of dropping £1,500 into it, but meanwhile another friend a few miles away was taken in hook, line and sinker!
