SocialTrade.Biz, once promoted as one of the fastest-growing MLM networks in India, was recently busted by the Uttar Pradesh STF and Police in a joint operation. The owners and promoters of Ablaze Info Solutions Pvt. Ltd. were arrested for running a large-scale investment scam.
The scheme lured people into depositing money directly into the company’s bank account with the promise of high returns through a “click-based” online work model.
How SocialTrade.Biz Operated – And Why It Was a Fraud
Our investigation and conversations with former users revealed the following:
-
Investors purchased “packages” that offered a certain number of clicks per day.
-
Users were then asked to click on links supposedly meant for online advertising and business promotion.
-
In reality, most links were fake – many were just Facebook URLs or completely dummy websites.
-
The STF investigation found that these clicks did not lead to genuine advertisers but instead redirected to servers controlled by Ablaze Info Solutions.
This proved that the entire system was designed to simulate advertising activity without delivering any real value to advertisers.
Key Red Flags Identified
-
No real advertisers have ever confirmed paying SocialTrade.Biz for promotions.
-
The so-called “Booster Formula” forced users to stay on a link for just 30 seconds before it closed automatically. This results in a high bounce rate — harmful for genuine SEO and online marketing.
-
Initial payouts to some users were only made to create trust, after which payments stopped entirely.
Unanswered Questions for SocialTrade.Biz Supporters
-
Why has no advertiser stepped forward to verify they paid SocialTrade.Biz for marketing?

Impact on Victims

Current Status (February 2025 Update)
-
The owners remain in police custody.
-
Ablaze Info Solutions has been sealed and shut down pending court orders.
-
Investigations into the company’s finances are ongoing, and refund processes are expected to begin once legal proceedings conclude.
