Cforth StoplightGo: Unveiling the Truth: Is it Really a Ponzi Scheme? (Update 2024)
Mark Seyforth re-opened Cforth in May 2022 after his time making money off of the Crowd1 Ponzi scheme had come to an end.
In their analysis of Cforth StoplightGo in October 2022, BehindMLM noted that the Philippines accounted for the majority of the company’s website traffic.
Currently, fewer than 1,000 visits per month are made to the Cforth website. As a result, Seyforth decided to restart the MLM portion of Cforth under the name StoplightGo.
I’ll start by saying that if CforthStoplightGo sounds complicated and perplexing, that’s because it is. As my knowledge as I am aware, Cforth StoplightGo is just a plan to re-launch Cforth StoplightGo under a different brand.
The beta launch of Cforth StoplightGo was announced in an email sent earlier this month;
Affiliates of StoplightGo are required to pay $299 upfront and then $64.95 each month for autoship:
Bundled goods are from Mark Seyforth’s many businesses and have been carried over from Cforth.
Through what seems to be a five-level extensively unilevel team, this produces rewards for the affiliates that recruited them.
Although there doesn’t seem to be a limit to the “lanes” (unilevel tree legs), which are what I initially assumed this to be, it is a matrix.
However, Cforth StoplightGo does have a residual 310 matrix that offers payments of up to $2.50 per affiliate signed up per month.
As affiliates are brought on board by Cforth StoplightGo, this matrix grows throughout the entire organization.
Commissions are reliant on Cforth StoplightGo associates continuing to pay $59.95 per month for autoship, among the unilevel group and matrix.
This is just a rework of Cforth’s Straight-line queue commissions. StoplightGo uses a matrix in place of a line-up system.
A ten-level deep unilevel team used by Cforth was used to pay residual commissions.
In support of the 310 matrix, which has been revised to be five layers deep.
The autoship recruitment pyramid strategy that was essential to Cforth is at the heart of StoplightGo.
In Cforth StoplightGo, retail is conceivable but not the main objective. Additionally, it does not disprove that quarterly affiliate autoship fees account for the lion’s share of all company earnings.
The fact that the previous MLM opportunity failed to gain traction also means that we already know there is no retail interest in Cforth’s items.
The issues Cforth had are brought on by the flawed business model of StoplightGo. Reboots often don’t live for the duration of their predecessors, thus this is something to be concerned about.
What do you think of this business model or scheme now that you are aware of Cforth StoplightGo and that I have explained the fundamentals associated with it? How reliable is it? Come and I’ll explain the details in more detail.
What is a Ponzi Scheme?
A Ponzi scheme is a criminal deception investing fraud pledging increased rates of interest with less chance of loss to investors. On the other hand, a Ponzi scam is a deceitful investing fraud that induces retrievals for earlier investors with money carried from later investors.
More Info on Cforth Stoplightgo:
Mark Seyforth partnered with Crowd1 previously in July 2020 to promote his business, LifeTRNDS.
Jonas Werner, a resident of Sweden, is the mastermind of the Ponzi scam Crowd1 in Dubai.
It was a win-win situation when Seyforth slept with Crowd1; while Crowd1 boasted about having items, Seyforth collected a share of the money that was taken through the Ponzi scheme.
Seyforth was still employed by the Ponzi scheme Crowd1 as of mid-2021:
Seyforth hinted that he might join Cforth Crowd1 in a marketing video for Crowd1 in October 2021.
Whatever intentions Seyforth had for Crowd1’s integration with Cforth in late 2021 seem to have failed.
On Crowd1’s website right now, there is no indication of Seyforth, LifeTRNDS, or Cforth.
This indicates how Seyforth and LifeTRNDS secretly quit Crowd1 between the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022.
Cforth StoplightGo was first introduced by Seyforth in Q2 of 2021.
Conclusion
An “eGig Marketing Company” is how Seyforth describes Cforth StoplightGo. That’s just a fancy way of stating that they sell subscriptions and products made by other people.
Ironically, Mark Seyforth’s own contribution, Voyager, which is effectively a continuation of LifeTRNDS, is not included in the compensation plan for Cforth. He keeps his hands off of that cash.
Seyforth denies that Cforth StoplightGo is an MLM company, despite the fact that it operates in a very clear MLM environment and has an MLM pay structure.
None of anything talks about Cforth being an MLM business and having an MLM incentive structure.
*Advice: Calling your affiliates “customers” won’t alter your MLM business strategy.
The fact that Cforth StoplightGo is a pyramid scheme, in my opinion, is the reason Seyforth won’t admit it is an MLM organization.
The no-cost affiliate option, which offers a 5% order discount, restricts retail, which is still feasible.
The absence of retail clients for Cforth StoplightGo is thus guaranteed. Without sufficient retail sales, MLM businesses are categorically labeled as pyramid schemes by the FTC.
This should not come as unexpected as Seyforth had no problem collaborating with the Ponzi-pyramid hybrid Crowd1.
Additionally, there are a few potential customers for Cforth’s products, specifically gas tablets, to be found. These products, in my opinion, would already be widely used if they were effective.
The SEC in the Philippines attacked Crowd1 very severely. What are the odds that a disturbed downline is currently in Cforth StoplightGo?
Regardless of the narrative, once recruitment in the Philippines dries up, it’s over unless more Cforth StoplightGo victims are discovered elsewhere.
Math ensures that the majority of those participating in financial pyramids will lose money, thus pyramid schemes are a globally prohibited business strategy.
Seyforth promised me 10% of his LifeTRNDS profit because I was one of a few that believed and supported it when it was new. I could talk to him in person and ask direct questions. Once he switched to Cforth, he started ignoring me. I could not find a way to speak to him due to his employee. And the certificate he gave me, promising 10% of his business, was suddenly void without explanation. That’s all you need know about the guy. He will cut and run once he has your money. He doesn’t care about helping you with your own success. And he was sick a lot when I knew him, which is probably his conscience starting to eat away at him.
Jonathan, did you ever tell the name of the company?
I been this company after doing my due diligence and the see the vision and no will understand the incredible people who I get to work with and be mentored and its building a solid income in a short time. US Navy Retired 30 plus years experience online with numerous companies.
I am impressed with all the incredible deals I get not only on common items already purchase but the high quality of these services to not include my local deals.
Highly recommend you join and treat this like a relationship marketing business.
I am in stoplightgo and want to say that I got in in the first 200 in which I have made all my money back and they haven’t missed a beat in paying out. Yes has seyforth failed in the pass yes but give him credit on uniting with corp heads with amazing business in the past and that the company just out of launch are going in the right direction.
Bryan you build up to $100 then you can pay out. That makes sense to me why constantly move small amounts all the time?
Yes, I was too in the 800 Club but just didn’t have time to bring people in. The person that brought me in was so enthusiastic about it that she said you only need one and the next one I get I will pass it to you. Never happened. She became an Iwner right away. To be an owner you need to bring 4 people. Now they are saying 12 people to max the matrix. Luckily that I didn’t have time for the business because deep inside I felt that this wasn’t for me. Nevertheless, I think it won’t end well.
Jonathon, I’ve read the review and your comment. Was wondering what you’ve got that one could make money and only spen $19 a year.
Thanks

I am in Stoplightgo. I got in in what they call the “800 club”, which was a big push to get before it filled up. I did reluctantly. The comp plan presentation kept changing, and now has little to do with first in some ways. ( 800 club cost around 500. plus the subscritption of 65 a month plus shipping)
I also didn’t know if you pause your subscription , (which is only fuel tabs that are actually appearing to be a source of a problem I put into our semi), you are stopping your distributorship, after 60 days they sell it to another poor unsuspecting person.
Amway if you don’t buy a minimum or Le-Vel or Jueness or many of the others, you just don’t get paid for your work until you do. They don’t pull your distributorship.
The subscription is a bad way to go. Many appear to be falling off. It is a big communication point on zoom meeting calls.
I also believe that once you buy in, it should be yours. I feel it should be up to the company to provide a good enough value to keep the customer wanting to buy, not forcing them.
I think once your in and you make a sale or bring people in, their should be no minimum to get paid off the commissions, either for getting paid period ( like a 200 min in commissions, like many have before they pay you). Or for on going sales. If you did the work, you should get paid as long as those sales come in regardless of how much you personally buy.
Years ago,I believe the founders of Amway did a pretty good job at most of that. But as they faded out and then boys started fading out as well, it is far from it now. The international setup was not done good and still isn’t with them.
Stoplightgo also requires I believe a 200 earnings before you can get paid. That was another thing that changed and dates of pay have changed.
I am very dissappinted in Stoplightgo. The only reason it has some growth was the diamonds they brought in from other businesses like Brig Hart. But his momentium is not as strong as it could be in this.
In summary, it sounds good, but I would not personally recommend from my past and current dealings with them. In fact I would like to sell my distributorship if anyone is interested…
Bryan, I met Mark Seyforth and his wife at a networking event when they lived in Atlanta. They talked me into joining their Travel 10 company. His wife mentioned they got wealthy off of health shakes not long before that. Within months they changed their name to LifeTRNDS. They promised the 10 members we would get 10% of the company profit the next year. Before the year was up they switched their name to Cforth and completely forgot about the 10 members they promised profits to. Then a couple of years later, they switch to StopLightGo and again, forget all the members who supported them, worked hard for them, and were made promises. Seyforth is a scam artist who now has a nice house in L.A. Do not trust these people. All they do is take your money and waste your time. One day you will get an email saying they are changing their system and name again and everything you built will just go away. They want to keep getting new people every so often. They have no loyalty to people who give the, time and support. And Mark was sick quite often during Cforth’s launch. I can only imagine it is exhaustion from guilt.
Why do you, and people like you, even get involved with the Seyforths? Do you not research, at least a quick Google search, the people making financial promises to you? I knew these people, their daughter went to school with ours, I spent time at their gorgeous property in Miami. But trust them with anything business or financial? Are you kidding?? What’s wrong with people? I don’t get it.
Bryan I have been in the MLM world for nearly 30 years and smell nothing good with Stoplight Go… Sorry you have been burned.. I am with a non MLM company that you truly get paid for referring people to the manufacture of 500 products. Sort of like Amazon and Costco only better!! best part its $19 a year for the membership to shop… that’s it… I would love to work with you or anyone else that has been burned!! #hatemlm
