I urge anyone considering investing in BMB Matrix AKA Build My Brand to conduct thorough research before proceeding. I wish I found this info before I lost my HUGE investment:
1. Legal Troubles:
Since December 2023, at least FIVE lawsuits have been filed against BMB. A simple search for “BMB Matrix lawsuits” will reveal the details.
2. Fake Locations:
All addresses associated with BMB Matrix are INVALID. 3 addresses are WeWork offices, 1 traces to a Walgreens, 1 traces to A Registered Agent, Inc., totally unrelated to BMB. The only potentially legitimate address is their “Value Vault” store in the Morristown Mall, NJ, which appears to be a front to project legitimacy. I spoke to Emily and their hours are 11-6 most days.
3. Phone number out of order:
Their 800 # is out of service. When it was operational no one ever answered.
4. Fake Reviews:
Negative reviews are often followed by a wave of generic 4-5 star reviews in an attempt to bury the honest reviews. Especially watch for the positive reviews about their beta / retail program. These are 100% fake.
This is where the bait and switch occurs. They upgraded me from Amazon/ Ebay to their "Beta / Retail Program". It exceeded my expectations. But payouts were always late, even up to a month late. Once they convinced me of their selling power, they required a new contract and bigger re-investment. There was no reason to doubt based on performance. Once I reinvested ALL SALES STOPPED! Contact was ignored, or I was given lots of empty promises and lies. When I threatened to make this info public they started a plan to pay me out every 2 weeks. The payouts have been tiny. This week $45. They have over $31k of my investment and they paid me $45 this week. WATCH OUT!
5. Frequent Rebranding:
The company has operated under various names, including Build My Brand, TomParkerCo, Digital Supply Inc., and appears to now be transitioning to or affiliated with Value Vault. I have found 8 different websites.
6. BAD REVIEWS
Research their reviews on Reddit, Trustpilot, SiteJabber, scam report, Google Reviews, PissedConsumer, ComplaintsBoard (under build my brand) and the Better Business Bureau. The common theme is significant financial loss, disappearing, unfulfilled promises, ghosting, ignoring refund demands, promising to refund then ghosting, lies, blatant breach of contract.
I dont believe the names of the characters running this show are real. Tom Quincy/Parker are American names, "Tom" is African. As for the others its hard to know. Emeli Perez, David J Stone, James Matthews, Charlotte Montague, Xavier Cole, Randy J. Nothing is real here, addresses, phone numbers, contracts, promises, and possibly names.
While their services and offerings appear innovative and appealing, the delivery is non-existent, communication is deplorable, the monetary losses are devastating. My experience has been brutal and stressful beyond belief for almost a year. Please exercise extreme caution and investigate thoroughly.

You are welcome to message me at BMBScam. A growing number of us are banding together to take legal action in a group. That is a G-mayle address.
The attached screenshots are a fraction of the proof I have. They say all the right things, apologize and tell you it will improve and the MONEY NEVER COMES!
Recommendation: STAY AWAY - YOU WILL LOOSE 100% OF YOUR INVESTMENT
There is a need to act promptly and submit a formal complaint with consumer protection institutions such as the Federal Trade Commission and the Internet Crime Complaint Center. Do not forget to collect all the information at hand evidence and talking to a barrister is an option too. You can also inform your bank about the fraud which attempts might be to recoup some if not all the lost money. Additionally talk to others who are going through the same situation or problem as you for further assistance in your case.
Thank you. I have done all of that. The bank wont do anything because I sent them money multiple times before the bait and switch and they did send me some money too...before they stopped paying and ghosted. More and more people are contacting me every day who have also been scammed. We are banning together to take further action. Combined we've lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Weve all filed formal complaints. Its crazy because they have a retail store in a mall and they just keep moving forward like they are not raping people of their life savings. Thank you for your words of support. This has been a nightmare.
