XL Results Foundation Get Rich Quick Scam on aggressive sales trip to Australia
XL Results Foundation pte ltd www.resultsfoundation.com a global business network under a legal and financial cloud in Singapore will target investors in Sydney 3rd December, Melbourne 4th December, Brisbane 5th December and Perth on the 6th December 2007. Refer website: www.resultsnetaustralia.com
Roger Hamilton, Chairman of XL Results Foundation formerly of Singapore now based in Bali (company registration no: 200107729C - registered in Singapore) found himself in trouble at the beginning of this year when approximately 150 Singaporean member's demanded their money back claiming they were duped, cheated and money promised to charity by Mr Hamilton was pocketed.
XL Life Members believed they were buying into a global network and a foundation. The business connections never eventuated with members claiming they were actually sourced from the free online network linkedin. Mr Hamilton has claimed the XL network is 60,000 contacts however; he has not been able to substantiate this.
Disgruntled XL Life Members went to the media to expose the company when it wouldn’t return their money. XL Results Foundation has been featured in the Straits Times Newspaper Singapore, English and Chinese Radio in Singapore, the Courier Mail and Brisbane Times Online Newspaper and the Sunday Star Times in New Zealand.
Roger Hamilton is promoting himself as an entrepreneur contributing to world wide wealth with 10% of all XL revenue promised to charity. The XL accounts further discredit Mr. Hamilton's claims. Back ground checks on the company show it is not a foundation but a private limited company with its offshore bank accounts listed through a post office in the Seychelles.
XL Results Foundation is listed with the Bad Business Bureau in the US after complaints were lodged against the US arm of the company on the global consumer website www.ripoffreport.com and an urgent consumer warning was issued by UK Consumer Website www.rip-off.co.uk
Mr. Hamilton's woes seem to continue with XL Results Foundation Pte Ltd recently featured in the Sunday Star Times in New Zealand. Reports filed against XL alledge XL Results Foundation is an offshore scam operating a Pyramid Scheme/Ponzi scheme. Members claim the company's source of revenue is from the recruitment of newly duped members into the scheme.
Up to 700 Australian’s may have already been duped by the scam with the Australian Promoter Mr Paul Dunn of Results Net Australia implicated. Mr Hamilton is back in Australia on an aggressive sales trip to sell his XL Results Foundation memberships for USD$10,000.
He is not disclosing to consumers there has been an Asia Pacific community petition against the company, $1 million in refund demands and that the company is alleged to be operating a criminal business in a court of law in Singapore. Mr Hamilton is blocking legal requests for full disclosure of the XL accounts with Australian and New Zealand consumer’s fees being used in legal costs to protect the scam.
To deflect questions from the community Roger Hamilton of XL Results Foundation has established a media advisory unit operated by his brother in law Mr Ian Grundy to suggest the company is being slurred by a former employee and that journalists did not do due diligence. Mr Grundy is also listed on public legal documents with Mr Hamilton.
In public legal documents the former employee alledges the company is a scam. Roger Hamilton and XL Results Foundation has legally gagged the former employee since 2004 and conducted a long running and malicious slur campaign against the individual. Newly duped members are unknowingly funding this.
Mr Hamilton promises individuals who join they will benefit from opportunities and get rich. As is the case with all Get Rich Quick Scams only Mr Hamilton and his accomplices benefit.
The latest complaint against XL Results Foundation issues a warning to investors to do due diligence.

Roger Hamilton has really inspired me with the concept of Wealth Dynamics that explained to me the finer aspects of business that has to be governed by the flow of wealth. The value generation is the key for all successful businesses, and making the investors understand that they can have a piece of the pie. Only working together with all the hidden potential that lies within us that has yet been untapped is the key to success.
Money is like water, and it has to flow like a river. It is the value that lies in the product or service that has been given in return creates a chain effect in the world of business. If one person is thriving then the effect of their business will eventually affect ours in return. Roger Hamilton explained through many examples from his own life about the different ways that he came up with to deal with different situations.
All the people are connected to each other and it is the collective effort that makes a business thrives. Innovation can only be done by people and not by machines because human creativity cannot be replaced by machines. Delving into deeper recesses of hidden wealth within us is the key to achieving a whole new level of success that has been taught to us by Roger Hamilton.
We have learnt a lot from the various discussions with many different social entrepreneurs who come together at XL Nation. Through the leading examples of many world leaders, we have learnt the secrets of success for moving up the wealth spectrum. Changing the game plan according to the needs of the market, and setting the business goals accordingly is the key to maintaining success in the most turbulent economic states.

Roger James Hamilton of XL Results Foundation was running a typical ponzi type scam, cash was required from new victims to keep the scam alive. Interesting to read Hamilton's slurs of anyone who speaks out against him, these are all typical traits of a scam artist who need to constantly protest their innocence and bully anyone brave enough to ask questions. The outcome is the same, scam goes bust and the community pays for another scam that has milked the community dry.
I read the comments by Roger James Hamilton and XL Results Foundation and their disgusting attempts to slur, defame and financially bankrupt a former employee who exposed the scam. These conmen operate in the same way, they threaten, bully and intimidate. By making the whistle blower a target he attempted to intimidate others from making complaints and foiling the scam.
This charlatan protested his innocence that he was not operating a scam, all classic text book examples of a conman antics. He also used pictures of famous people on his website, and made up fake testimonials to give the perception of credibility. I bet these people have no idea they even appear on his website and are being used as a cog in a global scam.
The whole lot is classic scam material: people speak out, consumers want their money back, staff and vendors go unpaid, victims contact the authorities and the media start asking questions.
Within a few years of Hamilton declaring he was an honest businessman the whole lot went down the drain with countless victims loosing their money. Hamilton is now living on the cheap in Bali, cooking up his next Get Rich Quick Scheme.
Roger James Hamilton is nothing but a snake oil salesman.
If you have been a victim of Roger James Hamilton and the XL Results Foundation contact the authorities or speak out about your experiences and help protect your community. Scammers like this cost the community millions of dollars.
Roger James Hamilton ran XL Nation which collapsed in late 2008 after his massive irresponsible money mismanagement. There was not even anyone sorting out the finances in the company so there was not any knowledge about what income or expenditure there was. This coupled with Roger's extravagant spending caused it all to come tumbling down. XL how has a website with members who no longer are getting what they paid for.
He left investors and members of XL broke and has said he does not have any money to pay anyone back. Investors gave him money that he said he would invest and he assured them it would be invested and pay them a high return. He never invested the money – he used it for himself. He is a fraud who does not practice what he preaches. So nice that he has the money to take himself and his family to Las Vegas in 2010 when he is broke and living the life of a pauper!!!!!! He sent his daughter to Greece recently as well!!!!
He lives the high life in Bali with servants to tend to the housework and everything else. The house he lives in is spacious and very nice. Not so for the people who contact him on a regular basis to ask where their money is and when they will get it back only to get a reply that he does not have any and he is struggling.
When will he stop conning people into thinking he is Asia’s leading wealth consultant!!!! Beware of Roger James Hamilton and do not give this man any money. You will never see it again.

Update on Roger James Hamilton, Chairman of XL Group
XL Results Foundation has not only collapsed in Singapore. They've not been able to file their 2007 annual reports with the Singaporean authorities, who may be considering prosecution of XL's management under the Singapore Companies Act. The Singaporean bank - OCBC is also pursuing Roger Hamilton to recover some loan defaults. Roger Hamilton is on the run from the bank and the Singapore government.

I was referred to XL Foundation in 2008 and paid (like an idiot!) $10,000. US dollars for membership. I have been checking online to see if there are any class action lawsuits that are happening at this time. I joined in Los Angeles and am wondering if any US or Internationals know how we can get our money back. What a scam this XL Foundation is and was. I know now they are operating and selling product for Wealth Dynamics.
Can anyone help? I am at a loss and Roger and his team need to be accountable. Thanks for your help!
For the information of the US based victims of Roger James Hamilton.
Roger James Hamilton, Chairman of the now defunct business networking scheme XL Results Foundation tried to bring his Get Rich Quick scheme into Canada in a bid to prey on a fresh batch of untapped consumers.
Hamilton’s plans went awry when a local Ontario based lawyer Michael Webster who specialises in fraudulent businesses started posting comments and seeking information on Roger James Hamilton on his blog http://www.bizop.ca
You guessed it, Roger James Hamilton and his wagon train, hightailed it out of Canada leaving a cloud of dust behind them.
To the American consumer duped by Roger James Hamilton, chairman of the now defunct business XL Results Foundation, I suggest you contact the relevant consumer protection agencies in the US, Roger James Hamilton duped more than 100 Americans amounting to millions of dollars, as with any conman they scam the community and have usually fled as the scam unravels leaving a trail of cheated victims. These conmen can be dealt with by notifying the relevant authorities and speaking about them on blogs and in chat forums. Use your experience to hunt down this fraudster who is running out of markets to operate in.
Roger James Hamilton is a fake and a fraud and has no successful business expertise, he will cheat anyone out of money to make a fast buck. You can either be a silent victim of this charlatan or help your community combat this snake oil salesman. They are a plague on society.
It's unfortunate that you lost your money, but XL Foundation and Wealth Dynamics were an obvious scam. Perhaps this is a good opportunity for you to look inward and see how your greed and desire caused you to look past the obvious signs. Regrettably, I suspect you've probably throw much money away due to you're hubris. The best of luck with you.
The XL Results Foundation Head Office in Singapore has closed down.
Address: 30 Robinson Road, #02-01, Robinson Towers, SINGAPORE 048546.
Victims of Ponzi Scheme operator Roger Hamilton and the XL Results Foundation scam are advised to contact the Consumer Affairs Department and/or Department of Fair Trade in their respective country.
XL Results Foundation Pte Ltd is owned by a holding company incorporated to a PO Box address in the Republic of Seychelles.
XL Results Foundation are pleased to announce a positive outcome to the recent legal case related to various allegations against Roger Hamilton and XL. These claims are similar to those found on interrelated and inter-referencing blogs posted on ripoffreport.com, complaintsboard.com, hotscams.com and businessesfromhell.com along with other blogs and anonymous emails sent to our members and partners over the last three years.
On March 24th 2008, Linda Ruck, the defendant in the legal case that XL brought regarding many negative and untrue claims against the company, signed a full written confirmation, retraction & undertaking by a consent court order in the Singapore Subordinate Courts.
The undertaking includes:
1. A confirmation that she has been involved in approaching via email, and/or otherwise including postings on internet forums, blogs, websites and other means, various parties including the media, consumer groups, our members and partners.
1. An unreserved retraction of her allegations against Roger Hamilton, XL, and XL stakeholders and an unconditional acceptance that these are untrue and/or inaccurate. The retracted allegations range from claims of illegal activities, no money going to charity, misappropriation of funds, criminal investigations, fraudulent conduct and a withdrawal of her claim on pyramid sales – which are similar to all the claims found on the various emails and blogs.
1. An undertaking not to conduct or continue with any ongoing campaign against Roger and XL (through herself, anonymously or otherwise) and not to spam, blog or communicate with XL Members, XL stakeholders or the media to make negative comments about XL.
1. An undertaking to cease harassing XL, its members, partners and associated parties.
XL is glad to put the legal conclusion of this chapter behind itself and to have received vindication against all the claims that have been made through the Singapore Court System.

Mr Roger Hamilton, Chairman of XL Results Foundation pte ltd is on a whistle stop tour of Australia promoting and selling a USD$12,000 life membership into a purported social entrepreneur network.
XL Results Foundation (registered in the Republic of Singapore Comapany registration no: 200107729C) is alleged to be a convoluted pyramid scheme that baits consumers with promises of personal wealth and business opportunities but leaves consumers red faced and empty handed.
Mr Roger Hamilton based in Bali will be holding networking events as a platform to gain access to Australian consumers and hosting events on the Gold Coast 7th March 2008, Brisbane 11th March, Sydney 12th & 15th March, Melbourne 13th March and Perth 8th and 14th March 2008.
During his sales pitch, Mr Hamilton will fail to mention XL is mired in controversy with victims of the scam lodging complaints against the company world wide.
Mr Hamilton and the Australian Promoter, Mr Paul Dunn, Results Net (http://www.resultsnetaustralia.com) operating out of Brisbane (Registered in New South Wales - BN 98208353) are the subject of allegations they are operating an elaborate pyramid scheme operating under the guise of a social enterprise.
A deceptive website (www.resultsfoundation.com) and smoke and mirror events have been created to give the illusion the company has a product to sell.
The events are created by Mr Hamilton and offered free or heavily discounted to consumers. The sting comes afterwards when individuals are invited to a free 'extraordinary’breakfast event where Mr Hamilton and his cohorts attempt to extract USD$12,000 from misinformed consumers.
In Singapore more than 100 members of the business community alleged they were cheated and duped by Mr Hamilton and money promised to charity was pocketed by Mr Hamilton. The parent company of XL, Competitive Edge pte ltd in Singapore is alleged to have sold consumers shares without a legal prospectus.
Members also claimed Mr Hamilton had lied and exaggerated regarding business connections and that the bulk of the network's contacts are poached from the free online platform linkedin.
Members of the Asian business community allege XL is created with the specific intent to deceive and scam.
As reported in the Straits Times Newspaper, 70 complaints were lodged against the company in one day.
The rogue company has faced mass refunds, staff walkouts, resigned accountants and unpaid bills.
A former employee, an Australian whistle blower has been legally gagged by XL since 2005 and subjected to a malicious and long running defamation campaign including filing of false police reports against the individual in an attempt to threaten and subdue.
In public legal documents lodged in Singapore, the former employee has alleged ‘contributions promised to charity were not given and Mr Hamilton and XL is cause for concern.’
Both Mr Hamilton of XL and his Australian business partner Mr Dunn, ResultsNet Australia are in current litigation and attempting to block legal requests for full disclosure of the XL company accounts.
Allegations lodged against the company suggest it is a pyramid scheme with its revenue source derived from the recruitment of duped individuals into the scheme. Victims were induced with a commission to encourage further sign ups.
The community allege the company is using public monies - life membership fees to pay its legal costs to protect the scam and is bleeding the community dry.
In an attempt to deflect media and community questions, XL Results Foundation has issued an email spam warning on its website to deflect questions and issued false legal reports.
Mr Hamilton, his associate Mr Dunn have suggested the company is the victim of a slur campaign by a former employee, members of the community who were quoted in the press do not exist and that journalists from Fairfax Media and Singapore Press Holdings did not do due diligence before publishing negative articles on XL. This is text book behaviour of a scam attempting to protect its interests.
The co-ordinator of the Asia Pacific petition lodged by more than 150 members against XL Results Foundation and mentioned in newspaper articles is Ms Ann Phua the head of a business women's organisation in Singapore, email anph@rvmediaworld.com

Since March 2004 XL members and our partners have been hounded by interconnected bogus emails and blogs, alleging wrongdoing of ever increasing proportion. While the allegations continually change, the pattern of engagement has remained the same.
What these emails and blogs look like
1. The emails are aimed to mislead and confuse. They are targeted at the email addresses of our Life Members and partners - often aimed at new targets who are not aware of the history of these emails. Recent emails have addresses such as “consumer.association@googlemail.com”, “scamalertconsumer@gmail.com”, “xlcomplaints@gmail.com” and have titles such as “Consumer Association - XL Results Foundation Scam” and “Scam Alert - XL Results Foundation Pte Ltd”. At last count, over thirty different bogus Google and yahoo email addresses have been set up to send thousands of such emails over the last 2½ years.
2. The blogs are posted on blog sites such as wordpage, blogger and more recently on a US site called www.ripoffreport.com. These blogs have equally alarmist titles such as “Roger Hamilton And XL Results Foundation Pte Ltd, Singapore Community Petition, Scam, Duped, Pyramid Scheme, Charity Scam, Mass Refunds, Deception, Misrepresentation, Cheating Singapore Nationwide” and “Roger Hamilton + XL Results Foundation Ponzi Scheme, Fraudster, Scam, Duped, Conman, Global Fraud, Misrepresentation”. Like the emails, they have numerous links to the same articles, blogs, etc and they are all posted using fictitious names such as “Hilton”, “Logan” and “Singapore Community”.
The contents of these emails, blogs, and our response
1. The emails follow the same themes in the allegations they make. They range from criminal misconduct to fraud to mistreated customers to financial shenanigans. Many of these are similar to the claims made by an ex-employee who left XL employment in March 2002. Some of these claims are now the subject of a legal case that XL presently has with this individual (this is the second such case that XL has with this individual). The history of this case, the claims and our specific responses to each one can be found here: You can view this at www.xlresultsfoundation-legal-file.com
2. On certain occasions, these emails and blogs have been targeted at the press and have resulted in press articles, which in turn are then mass spammed and blogged anonymously, misrepresenting the stories with headlines and editing designed to spread further alarm and distress. You can find our advisory to the media in relation to this pattern of behaviour here: www.resultsfoundation.com/mediaadvisory1 Members of the press are themselves concerned that their articles are being misused and are also keen to know who is distributing these.
3. While the many general claims are addressed in the two links above, we would also like to address some of the more recent claims here. The first is language conjuring up the image of mass discontent, action by consumer associations, government departments, legal actions and the like. These are all entirely false. XL has never been approached by any consumer association and has not been involved in any investigations by any government department in any country. The only legal case we are involved in at present is the one mentioned above. Apart from the two legal cases (one that is currently ongoing) with this ex-employee, the only other legal case that has ever existed was one between XL’s Chairman, Roger Hamilton and the same ex-employee when in January 2007 she personally filed a magistrate’s complaint for criminal defamation against Mr Hamilton. Significantly, she subsequently withdrew that complaint in April 2007 (after she appointed a lawyer to represent her in these matters against the company and Mr Hamilton, and presumably after receiving legal advice that her claim of criminal defamation was clearly unsustainable).
4. The second recent claim – of XL being an illegal ‘pyramid sales’ company – first appeared as a defense by the defendant’s new lawyer in this case in March 2007 (The argument being that the breach of contract claim against the defendant could be defended if XL could be shown to be operating illegally). XL was issued with interrogatories from the defendant demanding detailed accounts on the basis that it was operating illegally. XL applied to the courts for the interrogatories be withdrawn and the Singapore Court ruled in XL’s favour, ordering the interrogatories to be withdrawn in August 2007. Even so, the emails and blogs continue with these same spurious claims that XL is a ‘pyramid sales’ company and also that we are “blocking legal attempts for full disclosure of the company accounts”. You can read our affidavit on the matter, detailing our responses on exactly why XL has no similarities to pyramid sales and the court’s ruling here at www.xlresultsfoundation-legal-file.com
5. The third recent claim – that there is some kind of ‘scam’ and thousands of customers ‘duped’ are all part of the language used to incite alarm. We operate with full disclosure, a satisfaction guarantee on all our major events and XL membership is transferable. XL Results Foundation operates in over 50 cities around the world with members meeting monthly. As with all large companies, we respond to customer requests on a daily basis. We have service centres in Singapore, London and Los Angeles and anyone with legitimate requests, complaints and suggestions have the ability to connect with us freely and easily.
6. The fourth recent claim – a repeat of earlier claims that XL either does not contribute to charities or is not honouring its commitments to charity are, again, entirely false and absurd. XL’s mission is World Wide Wealth, and the many charity activities within XL, by XL companies and XL Life Members, are documented every month in our various updates, on the website and in XL Magazine and XL Radio. The progress of our XL SEA Program – our accreditation program for Social Enterprises and a full history of charity activity by XL Companies can be found here: http://www.resultsfoundation.com/index.php?id=66
What you can do
The legal case is due for court hearing sometime in early 2008. In the meantime, we request that you take all these anonymous or bogus emails and blogs with a big pinch of salt. We have also found that a reply to sender requesting that your name be removed from the spam list usually results in one or more personal retorts followed by an end to the spam.
We will continue to be transparent in all aspects of our company, which is dedicated to growing the power of social entrepreneurs to create and contribute throughout the world. For verification or inquiries on all aspects of our global commercial and charitable activities, please contact XL at: legal@resultsfoundation.com
For the lighter side of XL, visit our website at www.resultsfoundation.com and we look forward to seeing you at any one of the events we will run in the coming year.
Posted by XL Group Management
for the full story and http://www.resultsfoundation.com for all the initiatives of what the company have been doing true to the word.
I recently met Roger in Singapore one evening when he was drinking at a bar. He didn't even remember that I had been invited to be a member of XL Results
and had walked away from the membership.
Under the influence of Alcohol he
was proudly telling me how he made US$5m last year from selling his life membership and the best thing about it was that he didn't have to deliver anything back to the members, because he could always say 'you only get out
of it what you put into it'. He proclaimed the life membership fees were 'money for jam'.
I asked him if it was a pyramid scheme, he said 'shhhh, we
don't use that word' with a smile on his face. Of course, I did not tape the conversation, but let me give you some undeniable facts that will show what this man is made of. Buyers beware!
My investigations into Roger have uncovered the following systematic misrepresentations made by Roger Hamilton:
A. In a video on the website, Roger claims XL is the 'largest online network of entrepreneurs in the world'. Firstly he is referring to ECademy (not XL) which is a partner of XL, and secondly, it is by no measure even close to
being the largest.
B. Roger has claimed repeatedly to donate 10% of everything XL gets to charity, but XL's own Annual Report clearly shows that this is not the case.
In a rebuttal on this matter, Roger himself lists charity's that XL members have contributed to, but not charities that XL has contributed to.
C. The life membership offers no value resultsfoundation.com/index.php?id=27. The benefits listed are in no way something that is worth US$10,000+. Let me go through those so called
benefits:
1. Momentum Events - These are XL marketing events and unless you are prepared to pony up money for further XL 'investment' they offer no value past a sound and light show that Roger and his team put on
2. Coaching Certification - Anyone can issue a certificate and say you are certified. The XL certification is not recognized by any university,
government body or professional association - it is worthless
3. International Network - Anyone can join Ecademy and LinkedIn for free, it is hardly worth the US$10,000 premium that Roger puts on his foundation
4. Opportunities Exchange - Come on people. I can go to thousands of job websites, PE forums, and the like online and get opportunities like this at anytime.
5. Local Workshops - This is up to local XL members to fund and put on themselves, no assistance is given by the foundation, so after putting in US$10,000 lets start paying more money to get benefits??!?
6. XL Magazine - This is the only real value you get from XL, because from time to time it has some interesting content and interviews although many
are reprints or reworks of interviews of other magazines, etc. But let me ask you - is US$10,000 a fair price to pay for a subscription to this
magazine? Hardly
7. Country Tours - Again you can simply duplicate this capability by
leveraging the online tools within LinkedIn or Ecademy - XL offers no value in the link here
8. Major Events - Free events where Roger sells more of his XL offerings. They do offer a motivation of sorts, but nothing like a Tony Robbins event
or something of real value. Oh, and XL gives you discount vouchers for these, but if you can't make the ones you are assigned you have to pay for future events - they aren't free.
9. Vision Villas - Roger has reinvested XL Life Member funds in Villas he personally owns. He'll even let you rent them out! How nice...
10./11. Social Enterprise & Charity Network - A nice idea, but again is only about what you do yourself as a member - oh and you commit to 10% of your profits going to charity (Sound familiar?)
12. XL Opportunities - What are they? Can you tell me?
13. Discounts and Privileges - only at XL events which have limited value, oh and the discount coupons expire quickly...
14. Membership Value - yes, Roger has increased the price because his scam is working so well - shame the membership is non-refundable, non-transferable, so it's real value is actually $0
People - think very, very carefully about supporting Roger Hamilton's
personal bank account and his world wide wealth. This is a scam, pyramid scheme of the first order and offers no real value that you can't get elsewhere for free.
