Zeek Receiver sues top 11 Norwegian Ponzi investors
News today that the Zeek Rewards net-winner world tour continues, with Norway the latest country to see clawback litigation filed against those who refuse to return money they stole from victims.
Filed on the 19th of February the Receiver’s complaint names eleven Norwegian Zeek investors, who collectively stole over $1 million dollars.
- Geir Vidar Pleym stole $256,917.29 under one or more usernames, including “freeasabird.” Appears to be the owner of the business Golden Eagle Consulting in Norway.
- Roger Guldahl stole $200,271.51 under one or more usernames, including “norway.” Now an affiliate of Enagic through which he sells Kangen ionic water systems.
- Anne Liv Dale $158,896.14 under one or more usernames, including “ALGold777.” Lists herself as “self-employed” and working in “Financial Services” on her LinkedIn profile.
- Fredrik Skjoldt stole $97,694.27 under one or more usernames, including “lambo.” Appears to have been involved in the World Ventures pyramid scheme and likes to collect Lamborghinis:
50th Anniversary in Lamborghini’s city
The company displayed 12 vehicles in Piazza dei Martiri in Sant’Agata Bolognese, including, among others,
the Aventador LP 700-4 Coupé and Roadster and the Countach LP 400 (chassis number 002).This Countach was the first ever sold and was specifically brought to Italy for the event by Norwegian collector Fredrik
Skjoldt.It originally belonged to Farah Diba, wife of the then Shah of Persia.
- Robert Ulvberget stole $72,569.11 under one or more usernames, including “megamaniac.” Now an affiliate with Asea (salt water).
- Stian Alexander Karlsen stole $65,000.94 under one or more usernames, including “xander09.”
- Pia Cecilie Fore stole $62,115.13 under one or more usernames, including “julie4.”
- Knut Fore stole $60,436.49 under one or more usernames, including “speedykf.” Was also an Asea affiliate in 2012, not sure if he’s still involved with the company.
- Morten Skaar, through a shell company he ran with Fredrik Skjoldt called “CMS Huset AS”, stole $57,586.54 under one or more usernames, including “huset.”
- Odd Steinar Nordlien stole $55,019.09 under one or more usernames, including “quadrant.” Also appears to be an Asea affiliate as of 2013.
- Anne-Mette Helland stole $53,428.51 under one or more usernames, including “AMGold 777.”
As with the other non-US clawback litigation, $50,000 appears to be the threshold.
And note sure what’s with all the Asea affiliates jumping on board. Sounds like someone decided getting involved in Zeek would be a good move for their downline.
The Receiver has asked the Western District Court of North Carolina to enter judgement against the named defendants. This would see them ordered to pay back the funds they stole, along with pre and post-judgment interest.

To whom it may concern I have another person living in the Philippines who at this moment we are investigating for more fraud which could mount up to another $1,000,000.00 lost to clients and is still taking money for no product or reward.
I have calculated about $316000 dollars has been taken but figure the amount is much higher. This person is also ex zeek millionaire.
I await your response
Yours truly
Tracy Davison?
We know all about him – https://behindmlm.com/companies/60-second-millionaire-review-ex-zeek-pimp-flees-to-philippines/
He’s named as a $1000+ US investor. They were just recently allocated class-status so his time will come.
Additional info from local Norwegian media:
dagbladet.no/2015/02/24/nyheter/utenriks/zeek_rewards/pyramidespill/bedrageri/37874849/
well, what do you know! everyfrigginbody is ‘innocent’. surprise surprise!
“But your honor, I thought the automated posting of ads on useless spammy classified websites was actually where my hundreds of thousands of dollars came from, ‘onest!”
I suspect Geir Vidar Pleym’s lawyer will tell him it’s a lost cause (after he’s spent some time running up a bill), and then that will be that.
I posted a new thread in a local pyramid scheme forum. It’s almost inactive as a forum (after July 2011), but it’s visited by reporters from time to time.
Original thread in Norwegian:
NOLINK://forum.hegnar.no/thread.asp?id=2267123
Google translated:
NOLINK://translate.google.no/translate?sl=no&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=no&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.hegnar.no%2Fthread.asp%3Fid%3D2267123&edit-text=
And if it isn’t frequently visited by reporters, it will be visited by other people telling it to reporters. They will either find it here (on this website) or there.
“Reporters as a target audience” is reflected in that I identified additional sources rather immediately, even before I identified the people that had been sued or the amounts they had been sued for. I tried to cover the whole range from “background story” → “primary case” → “current case” → “similar cases”.
Dagbladet seems to have done its own investigation. It has followed the ZeekRewards case for a long period of time.

RE: Tracy Davison
Thank You for this information OZ.
He is set to start a new fraud called 60 smart zone & Assurance! This is off the back of 60secondmillionaire.com/tv
He has been using the Western Union for the people to send funds through. (Many Payment Processors froze his funds).
He is now asking for more money from these unsuspecting people who are being taken in by this person. All his fraudulent behaviour is on Dailymotion.com. He is still claiming to be MILLIONAIRE!!
This man & his team in (Manilla) Philippines is needing STOPPED ONCE & FOR ALL!
Best Wishes
Jane
what can I do or who to contact to further this investigation. We want him stopped!
we are new at this and wish to do this legally and safely for all us ex members of the penny matrix, 60 sms and now his latest 60smartzone.
(I hope this does not come up twice, my pc went a bit loony)
You could try contact the Zeek Rewards Receivership and see if they need any assistance I guess.
Davison is being sued along with the other 9000 affiliates on that list. The outcome of that will affect him personally.
Additional information on the Norwegian net-winners from a BehindMLM reader:
Hi folks:
My friend also has some “investment” in this and would like to join the civil case – as well as add information / names, et cetera – could someone kindly direct us to the law office(s) / contact person(s) involved? Thank you.
@RJ
The claim deadline was ages ago, I’m pretty sure you’ve long since missed the boat.
Best to get in touch with the Zeek Receivership: zeekrewardsreceivership.com
Here’s a quick overview …
The current case is about the Receiver suing 11 Norwegian “top net winners” in a clawback litigation. You can’t “join” that.
The main case is “SEC v. Paul Burks and RVG”, the shutdown of Zeek Rewards in August 2012. You can’t “join” that either. If your friend was a “net loser”, he should have filed a claim before September 2013.
Court documents:
Don Ryan, “ASD update”, has an online collection of court documents for the ZeekRewards case and other cases. It has a menu on the left side where the different cases have been organized.
NOLINK://sites.google.com/a/asdupdates.com/files-website/zeek-rewards-sec-case
Court documents are only useful if you’re already familiar with the case or if you know what to look for (if you’re looking for something specific).
I can probably answer some questions or give additional information there.
Zeek Rewards Receivership:
Website = zeekrewardsreceivership.com
It mostly has information relevant for “net losers”, but very little information for “net winners”.
This website:
We probably have 100+ articles related to ZeekRewards. You can find a list if you click on “Zeek Rewards” right under the headline of this article. You will also find “Zeek Rewards” in the “Companies” menu on the right side.
Law offices?
That was too difficult to answer. There’s many of them.
If you’re looking for some type of class action lawsuit to join, that’s not a good idea. Class action lawsuits have been stayed for more than 2 years.
Lawyers should be able to produce some results and make a difference for their clients. The only differences these lawyers have produced are costs and frustrations.
Class actions:
1. J. “Cal” Cunningham lawfirm (stayed since 2012)
2. “Johnny Belsome et al” (stayed most of the time since 2012)
