Still a nice scam, but it is already dead.
Presentation
ENOUE SA is a limited company based in the Luxembourg, it is specialized in online advertising.
The company is registered in the register of businesses and companies of Luxembourg under the number RCS B195351.
ENOUE is available in more than 40 countries and is translated in over 40 languages.
Frankly let's be serious two minutes, who pays to see the pub? Advertisers, and advertisers pay hundreds of euros for people who do not buy their products? No. So the mechanism is a pure illusion.
The performance is totally Utopian.
The mirage of the Pay To Click
Registered in the Luxembourg company Enoue claims that its members can learn by watching commercials, but mostly by recruiting new members, on a clear pyramidal fashion.
Everything contributes to be wary of Enoue, firstly its opacity. The company, which presents itself as an advertising agency, is registered in the register of the Luxembourg trade. It seems to have been created by a group of persons residing in the region of Charleroi, in Belgium, who come under the names of Salvatore Pironitto, Nicolas Dujardin, Rafael Palacios Y Rodríguez, Éric Ophalvens and Kevin Demonte. These entrepreneurs aren't quite beginners. In January 2014, they launched a site called Eightclix.com. Registered in Belgium, it looked very like Enoue. Legally, Eightclix was registered under the name of 'Colleagues Association Marketing design', with as main Salvatore Pironitto and Rafael Rodriguez administrators. This structure was liquidated in November 2014, indicates the Belgian trade register.
Nebulous economic model
The online presentation of the economic model of Enoue is nebulous. It is matter of quick enrichment through return on investment. The participant buys 'packs' to €120, €300, €800 or 1,600, that value in three ways. First of all, it can resell them in the form of banner ads, which will be put online on the site of Enoue. The member becomes a kind of advertising broker. Its €300 or €800 investment give it the right to sell space to advertisers. Still need to find! Given the ease with which any trader can today open a Facebook page at less cost or buy very cheap ads on pages with big audience, it is wonder who will pay a banner on a confidential site like Enoue. The second way to monetize its Enoue pack is indeed, specifically, click on the site advertising banners. This is what is called the "Pay To Click" or "Pay Per Click" (PTC or PPC). Each click brings a few cents. When the user clicked much, his pack € 300 worth, for example, €450 Enoue is supposed to pay him. How fast is valued a pack? According to various accounts online, it takes a few tens of cents per day. To €0,50 / day, eight months to cushion a pack at €120, with the prospect of a gain of €60 a year. If all goes well, if there are advertisers (and will they come while the hearing of Enoue is artificial?) and especially if Enoue is still there to pay!
Pyramidal aspect
Nothing is less certain, as the pyramids are ephemeral. However, Enoue has the form. The site is very clear about this. The easiest way to earn money is to have godchildren who you sell packs, which click in turn on banners and that pay you a portion of their low earnings.
A pyramid is illegal but, strictly speaking, a pyramid does not sell anything. This is not the case of Enoue. However, all the initiators of pyramids have now caution to invent a pretext product, whether it is Profit25 with advertising or Get Easy with GPS tracers.
Enoué seems particularly active at this time in the West of the France. Better to stay away from its system. It is based on no serious economic model. The first entered the game will win maybe a little money, but it is at their own risk. In February 2014, the Correctional Court in Albertville gave fines and terms of imprisonment suspended sentences against 33 suspects who had participated in a pyramid. It was not only the originators of the system, but also of those who had made it prosper. The Court held that they could not rely on the status of victims. To the wise…
True
What you may actually
In addition to losing your money there are much larger risks.
The attempt to gain money from abnormal and easy way, in particular leaving manipulate (social engineering), eventually lead to getting you ripped off (419 fraud…), does not make you a victim but an accomplice.
No person shall avail itself of his own depravity.
In a very good video documentary of the 05.02.2013 – facing the Internet mafia, there is, among other things, an interview of a woman sentenced for aiding and abetting active money laundering after being trapped in an engineering social operation.
But in addition, the pyramid (process says the "snowball" or the "silver chain") is prohibited in France since 1953 (Article L 122-6 of the Code of consumption 1 ° and 2 ° paragraphs). This text was supplemented by an act of 1 February 1995 (3 ° and 4 ° paragraphs) which specifies the prohibitions on sales channels. Since that date, a company which fails to comply with this regulation and allegedly illegal practices would be condemned.
Under French law, «it is forbidden to propose a person to collect memberships or to register on a list requiring her the payment of any consideration and in him doing hope financial gains resulting from a geometric progression in the number of persons registered or recruited» (art. L. 122-6 and art. L. 122-7 of the code of consumption) and "this prohibition is subject to penalties of fine or imprisonment. »
The correctional tribunal of Albertville for example sentenced to penalties of four to ten months in prison suspended 33 Savoyards who participated in a money game akin to a Ponzi pyramid, was learned from the Prosecutor's office.
These sentences for fraud, was accompanied by fines between 4,500 and € 20,000. Four other defendants were fined with simple fines.
Penalties for the offence of fraud
First of all, it should be recalled that the prescription of the scam is acquired after a period of three years from the day of the return of the coveted thing.
The maximum penalties for fraud are:
-For natural persons: 5 years ' imprisonment, €375,000 fine and ban or confiscation of certain rights.
-For legal persons: €1.875.000 fine as well as the penalties provided for in article 131-39 of the criminal code.
The attempt is punishable by the same penalties.
The penalties are raised to seven years in prison and €750,000 fine when the scam is carried out:
-By a person vested with public authority or a public service mission, in the exercise or on the occasion of the exercise of its functions or its mission (article 313-2 – 1 ° of the criminal code);
-By a person who unduly takes the quality of a person vested with public authority or responsible for a public service mission (article 313-2 – 2 ° of the criminal code);

Money laundering
Money laundering is to conceal funds from illegal sources (drug trafficking, theft, fraud (including pyramid selling), selling weapons, robbery, tax evasion,…) by reinvesting them in legal activity (real estate, restoration, etc.). IT
The objective of the author of money laundering is to facilitate the false justification of the origin of these sums to the authorities. In practice, money-laundering "dirty money" may appear in the form of different mechanisms, as for example the establishment of false invoices between several companies.
Sanctions
In France, money laundering is punishable under article 324-1 of the penal Code which provides for a sentence of 5 years in prison and a fine of € 375 000. This sanction may be increased in some cases. For example, the penalty is increased to 10 years imprisonment and 750000 euro fine in two cases: when money laundering is committed habitually or by using the facilities provided by the exercise of a professional activity and when it is committed in organized gang. For a complete point on penalties, see articles of the penal Code concerning simple laundering and aggravated laundering.
Of more specifically to the pyramids:
French law, by article L122-6 of the Code of consumption, banned pyramid schemes because it prohibited: the violation of this prohibition is, at the end of article L122-7 of the same code, punishable criminally liable to a maximum fine of 4,500 euros and/or imprisonment for one year. The offender may be, in addition, sentenced to reimburse those clients that will not be met, the sums paid by them.
The most famous simple pyramid schemes, include chains of gifts (we invite you to make a donation and to rotate the chain), or even systems of Cavalry (financial montage in which the capital of the new entrants is used to pay interest to earlier investors).

Reminder of caution l´AMF published March 12, 2014
