Cash Unite Review: A multi-social hub?
There is no information on the Cash Unite website indicating who is running or owns the business.
The company’s website domain (“cashunite.com”) was registered on the 27th of January 2012, however the domain registration appears to be that of Cash Unite’s hosting provider rather than the company itself.
Cash Unite’s Privacy Policy isn’t much either, simply stating that
This site (the “Site”) is owned by CashUnite, a United Kingdom limited liability company.
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.
The Cash Unite Product Line
As I understand it, Cash Unite offer some sort of multi-platform social network manager to their affiliates.
With CashUnite, your friends, family, colleagues and contacts are all available at your fingertips!

Live activity streams ensures you never miss any action – keep tabs on the latest gossip on your facebook account with live streaming and interaction.
A blogging platform also appears to be on the cards,
A viral based blog system embedded into your profile allows you to create a stir with any topic of discussion that you want.
Stay in control of what you have to say and watch your content spread like wildfire, with our unique integration with all the major Social Network’s in the world.
Access to the social hub and blog system are included with Cash Unite affiliate membership, advertised as starting at $9.99 a month.
The Cash Unite Compensation Plan
Hard details of the Cash Unite compensation plan are currently not available on the company’s website.
What is communicated through a marketing video however is that affiliates will earn based on how many people are in their downline, sorted via what appears to be a unilevel compensation structure.
Affiliates appear to be compensated out of paid membership fees, with a “potential earnings calculator” calculating a projected monthly income based on how many people an affiliate recruits into Cash Unite.
Advertising is also mentioned on the Cash Unite website, indicating that this will also be a revenue generator for the company. How Cash Unite will pay affiliates out of this revenue stream however is not disclosed.
Joining Cash Unite
Affiliate membership to Cash Unite starts at $9.95 a month for what they call the “Bronze Package”.
Additional affiliate membership levels are supposedly available but at the time of publication further information was not available on the Cash Unite website.
Conclusion
Potential red flags with any monthly subscription based MLM opportunity lie in how the company pays out commissions to its affiliates.
Cash Unite raise two red flags in this regard, with the first being the inclusion of affiliate membership fees to pay out commissions. What this effectively does is turn Cash Unite into a recruitment driven pyramid scheme.
You sign up, pay your monthly membership fees and are paid commission based on how many affiliates are in your downline paying their monthly membership fees.
Additional revenue-streams may be available to the company but in light of the above, become irrelevant.
The second red flag is the mechanic by which how much an affiliate is paid each month is dictated by how much money they put into the system.
The following marketing copy taken from Cash Unite affiliate’s provided income projections for affiliates suggests this is precisely what Cash Unite plan to offer affiliates:
This refers to the amount you’ve accumulated so far in potential earnings from the entirety of your network. This is based on the Bronze level package at $9.99.
Your earnings would increase significantly with other packages we have available for launch. This also does not include the 100% commissions we pay you.
This is just one revenue stream of MANY with CashUnite.
Granted we’re talking “potential earnings” but if how much an affiliate pays each month in membership fees determines how much they earn, a big question mark then falls on the motive behind the payment of membership fees – regardless of what services or products are attached to them.
The mention of 100% commissions is also interesting to note, as the phrase has recently been used by several MLM opportunities with compensation plans closely resembling that of cash gifting schemes (usually attached to the freely available WordPress blogging platform).
The following inclusion in Cash Unite’s privacy policy is also something to be aware of:
We use Personal Information to contact you about our Site, Social Media Tools, and other related products and services in which we think you may be interested.
At the time of publication Cash Unite are claiming to be in prelaunch, with no advertised official launch date mentioned on their website.
Cash Unite advise
We haven’t launched the site yet…BUT
You can begin building your social networks now by inviting as many friends as possible to CashUnite.
Hmm…
Looking at the website, it looks like another recruiting feeding frenzy is going on. Join me, Join me, no join me!
Everyone wants to be on the top but don’t realize that they have been put under a few top leaders already on the pyramid and are only filling in the gaps to generate revenue for the owners and top placements.
Looks to me so far that Cashunite will be another gifting scheme in disguise. When this scheme collapses, the owners will also have the complete list of all the fish who feed on the kibble.
No such company as “CashUnite” or “Cash Unite” registered with UK “companieshouse.gov.uk”, the official company registrar of UK.
I see on their Facebook page someone is asking who is behind the business and why is it they are not registered.
The answer up to date from cashunite is “Its a bit like christmas. Well worth waiting for”.
Actually, it’s even worse. According to Wikipedia, there is no such thing as LLC in the UK. It’s called LLP.

Good Afternoon Folks’
Well it doesn’t take long for the Doom & Gloom crew to get going does it. My Name is Nick Wood I am a member of CashUnite and it took me about 10 minutes to find out who the company was and its directors through the internet.
I have spoken to them on the phone, they have been in business for many years , a business friend of mine has know them for many years and worked closely with them ..They are based in Office’s in the UK ( Midlands) they are an IT company with servers in Major cities, wholly owned family business.
If you really want to find out all about it join free , don’t pay any money whatsoever , join the cashunite.com Facebook site
facebook.com/CashUnite?ref=ts&fref=ts
(Ozedit: recruitment spam removed)
I agree there are plenty of crap opportunities and scam out there,…however this is NOT one of them , this is a proper company run by proper people not ex mlm junkies
Now do you homework folk’s
@K. Chang comment #4
Where does it talk about LLP or LLP ..??
Why is this information not publicly disclosed to prospective affiliates on the company website? In MLM, when a company fails to disclose who owns or is running things this is a red flag.
That’s all very well, but it counts for dick when you don’t state who the directors are.
You spend quite a lot of time reassuring everyone the “directors” are top-notch, but then deliberately fail to reveal them.
Sniff test fail.
Having to join a company just to find out who is running things is another red flag.
Based on what exactly? Certainly not the monthly membership fee based recruitment driven business model…
@Nick Wood,
Looking at the CashUnite Facebook page all the way down to the beginning of when the page was created, it appears that you are right there commenting and offering your link for folks to join under you. From this one can assume that you have possibly a position at the top of the food chain with CashUnite, yes? No?
On your personal blog you “Pitch”:
You even go as far as saying:
Strangely enough there are no details of what you mention, but only clickable links to your CashUnite site.
Furthermore on the Facebook page of CashUnite, you mention CashUnite “is a registered company in the UK with companies house”.
Also on the Facebook page,
The Facebook page was founded on April 2, 2012, this is over 1 year ago now and you mean to say that CashUnite is still in pre-launch?
On June 10, 2013 a post was made “by” the Facebook page admin on the official Facebook page directing people to look at the new video on the site. The affiliate link posted from Admin was Kerstward.
Why don’t you read the site’s own privacy policy?
Apparently they just cribbed the PP from some other side, did a massive find and replace, and didn’t actually check of the facts actually fit.
If you know who your upline is, please share, since apparently this info is only privy to the “inner circle”. Your ability to find it (and you’re a member) only PROVES that this company is quite secretive.
Guess your former opportunity “CashBack” didn’t work out too well? How’s YOUR homework going, mr. “Independent Promoter”?
But it’s attracting MLM junkies… such as you. You’re pushing “Cashback” and “Player’s Lottery” on Blogger, with about 6 blogs pushing them, most of them one shots (no updates ever).
Are you aware that Player’s Lottery is founded by the folks behind the failed Virtual World Direct that was forced into involuntary liquidation (i.e. receivership) by UK judiciary, for being a Ponzi scheme? You probably know that Player’s Lottery closed back in April 2013, right?
Apparently YOU haven’t been doing YOUR homework, Nick Wood.
The Facebook page was founded on April 2, 2012, this is over 1 year ago now and you mean to say that CashUnite is still in pre-launch?
I’m still trying to find any logic behind this.
On the CashUnite Facebook page, admin today states:
Well I guess this is the big news of who is behind all this according to admin again on Facebook:
Why is this crucial information still hidden from prospective affiliates doing their due diligence.
If I have to sign up to an MLM company just to find out who owns it and is running things, that’s a red flag that should not be ignored.
Goodness you really are a mad hatter aren’t you ,,Lets answer all your wild statements
POINT ONE….Top of the food chain .. Well yes I am very near the top, ( this time after 25 years ) however I always wonder where is the TOP.. no matter which company I am with I will only ever earn through a fixed number of levels lets say 10 .. so anyone on my level 10 can be the TOP of their 10 levels .. and so on .. so where is the TOP ?
POINT TWO ..The business you refer to as cash back I joined in 2010 .. its actually called Cashbackcard.com and is still very much alive and well , I collect cash everyday using any card I please as they are all linked to the CBC site.
This is a totally ethical company run by the most ethical man Bish Smear I have ever me, ( mad as a hatter, but ethical ) he is a great great guy and if you bother to look at (Ozedit: recruitment spam removed)
POINT THREE the players lottery yes that has now closed as they failed to reach the desired target to hold the lottery.
It was also run by Lord /Sir Digby Jones British businessman and politician, who has served as Director General of the CBI and Minister of State for Trade and Investment and was promoted by Carol Smillie… please NOTE this company closed down and RETURNED EVERY PENNY TO EVERYONE WHO HAD BOUGHT A TICKET including my MUM
I mail you and posted here trying to be impartial in informative however it seem all you want to do is pull things apart ………….. I guess something or somebody must off really pissed you off at sometime…………….
Might I suggest you buy a CD of Mumford and sons or the new Rod Stuart one is very good… buy yourself a guitar, learn a few chords, pour a glass of wine and enjoy the sun bro…open your mind there are some really nice people out there ………. its not that scary ..lots of love Nick 🙂 ..XXX
No surprises there.
Alexa rating of 2.8 million. As a business opportunity it’s dead.
You mailed me a bunch of spam which was ignored. Yes, this clown tried to recruit me into CashUnite.
In other news, the owners of CashUnite still withhold ownership of the company and management from prospective affiliates.
Dear Littleroundman
I am at a loss to your statement … I am not asking anyone for any money .. the Company are not asking anyone for any money…. I am not even asking anyone to Trust me !!…..
All I am doing is offering YOU and anyone else the opportunity to register your interest in what will soon be on offer…………. you are not obliged to do or pay anyone anything ………..simply look at what we have on offer and receive updates as and when they are sent out…..
You can then also join both the members Facebook group and the companies IF YOU WISH…………and only IF YOU WISH TO……( there you can moan all day ) ………
I really don’t understand what you people want .. is it your task in life to find out whats wrong with everything then you can say Ahh Haa told you so ……….We live in ENGLAND and the sun is out ..that’s a miracle in its self .. trust in an English summer …
Enjoy life Dude … Be Happy 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 ………….. for tomorrow you may be run over by a flying Haddock !!!…………..if I could attach pictures I would post all the founders Ceo’s and staff .. Yes dude..real peeps
So we should IGNORE your statement issued earlier?
In other words, you’re just wasting our time?
Nick is cashunite still in pre launch since 2012?
Honestly Nick, you’re wasting your time – this is a battle you just won’t win – sadly these guys can give it out – but when something proves to be a proper business they never apologise – let them have their 15 minutes of fame – ok, guys let’s here your sarcasm in reply – sarcasm, the lowest form of wit!
So, nobody has paid a penny – it’s free to join when it goes live – that’s free with product – yes there will also be a $9.99 per month package for those that CHOOSE it.
It’s in pre-launch at the moment.
I’ve personally been around this industry for 30 years – in that time I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly – but then again that goes for all industries – not just network marketing – we’re all suffering big time from the biggest banks in the world going awol!
I’ve done my homework and I can honestly say this is a first class business opportunity – but that’s only my opinion of course – you’re entitled to yours of course.
Sorry, tried adding my gravatar but it doesn’t work on your site
Yes Yo it is………… The actual Pre launch started in June this year .2013………. The ‘product ‘ was I believe introduced for testing about a year ago so maybe it was that………….
I cannot give a specific answer as I am not the company …. ( you could always put the question to them if you feel in important ) .. Anyone can go the the cashunite.com facebook site and send them a question………….. and they will answer……………….
Maybe if was a typo and should have said 2013…………. I have not seen where it is………….. please enlighten me and I will put it to them and we can solve this mystery together ………………I will be like an episode of Miss Marple……………… WHO DONE IT………….. Nick, OZ or Yo…… Hmmm exciting stuff eh !!
(Ozedit: recruitment spam removed)
Also from your recruiting blog, I am amazed to see Kevin Thompson’s mug shot listed endorsing anything anymore in mlm type pyramids after his fiasco of making people believe that biz ops such as Bidify was a legal compliant business.
Now what will make CashUnite any different? At this time it really looks like CashUnite is only recruit driven.
I think the new fad in pyramids and ponzies these days are also to flash around a lawyer to make the crowd believe “It must be legal” Duh!
I really have to say that I think it is pretty lame on your website to flash a mountain of cash and even use your mom to lead folks into signing up into this.
What I also find lame completely deceiving is the fact that you guys at the top are flaunting the “I got 1,000 2,000 5,000 downline figures…Like like, really?
These tactics are always used by the “TOP” and geared to create false expectations in people who join this type of crap. Everyone knows in this industry that the average Joe Bloe can only recruit 1 or 3 suckers if they are lucky.
Saturation is also a high factor in failure of the industry. People are becoming more aware of the fact that these pyramid schemes are really just an illusion and a pipe dream, a dream that shameless promoters feed on.
If your mother really knew what was going on, I am certain she would be ashamed of her son!
You must think people are really gullible that they join some business like CashUnite simply because you and others are able to sweet talk them into believing they will earn any money at all. Well I guess people are that gullible since they join without even knowing anything about the so called company, following with blinders on.
Yes the sun is beautiful in my parts of the world also, but not so bright that I have to keep blinders on.
Of course you were placed at the top of the pyramid Mr. Wood, as was surely 3 or 4 others. Everyone else goes below you and who makes all the money? Surely not those below whom you state are also at the top.
No they are all bottom feeders who pay you.
Dear Yo
Thank you for you kind comments, I guess this is your thing so I will leave you to it………….If I though for one minute that this was NOT a good company and a good product I would not be promoting it ……….
And as for your last paragraph you stat ‘ of course you were placed at the top of the pyramid Mr Wood ‘…… No idea where that comes from……………. like everyone else in the company I just simply joined and shared a link ……………… That’s it Yo……………. nice a simple……just like me…………………….
NOW with the greatest respect I don’t want to play anymore as I have some paint to watch dry ………………………… However If you should have any reasonable questions I will do my best to answer as honestly as I can ……………. have a lovely weekend 🙂 xx
Obviously the testing was all done before that date of October 5,2012. And no it is not a typo error since it is time stamped by Facebook itself.
So was that a pre-pre launch? Imagine getting peeps to sign up waaaaay back in October of 2012 and telling them nothing except to keep on recruiting.
Don’t you find this somewhat very strange?
@Nick Wood
I am sure you are only promoting because (as a top food chain member) you have interests in the compensation plan, not because of any product or company.
You said it yourself in post #18:
A view into the cashunite back office doesn’t really show very much.
A PDF file states that one gets $2.50 upon sign up (whether it is a one time signup reduction only is not clear or if it simply sits into one’s account). It is also not mentioned if there is a minimum withdrawal amount needed.
As a paid member for $9.99 you will earn a profit share on every member you sign up, and a residual income on customers monthly spend on our (services), No amounts are disclosed, 10 levels deep.
Substantial bonuses are also earned as the team grows. (No amounts disclosed). There will also be the 100% commissions paid on ? (No mention of it).
From the looks of the back office CashUnite will be introducing many products, my guess is that members will then be pitched on different money grabs from within the system as they develop it further.
As the back office is right now, there really isn’t anything there except all the needed buttons and whistles to invite others with a few mouse clicks.
The ABOUT US page now divulges the 2 CEO and Co-Founders Ronnie Singh and Raj Singh, Kevin Thompson as Legal Counsel, Kerst Ward as Communications Director and Mainak Roy as Finance Manager.
There is also no mention of company location, phone, address or any information on how to contact support with any questions.
Reminder: Recruitment spam is not permitted on BehindMLM.
@Trevor
A business can’t “prove” itself legitimate. It either is or it isn’t, as determined by its business model.
Charging affiliates a monthly membership fee and paying commissions on it isn’t a legitimate MLM business model, it’s that of a pyramid scheme.
That is certainly worrying.
Gravatar isn’t site specific. If you attach an image to an email address it will work on any site using Gravatar.
And there you have it. Pay a monthly membership fee and get paid $2.50 per new affiliate recruited.
The affiliate fee is monthly so the $2.50 will be too. Recruitment commissions = pyramid scheme.
Why management’s details must be hidden from prospective affiliates remains a mystery. Kevin Thompson’s name popping up is interesting given Cash Unite’s compensation plan, I’ve contacted him for comment.
According to 1 of the 2 PDF files, file #2:
The other points on that solo page is just the usual bull of no need to pester friends, host parties, invest a lot of money, hard sell to anyone, etc…
(Please note that CashUnite does mention there is no need to pester friends or family).
…and the difference between Cash Unite and a pyramid scheme is?
Good Morning
I shall no longer be posting any replies to anything you say as it is quite obvious that you have already made up your mind…… and I also notice you choose which posts/replies to allow to stay on here and which not………….slightly one sided I think
Offtopic comments = spam bin
Recruitment spam = spam bin
Derail attempts = spam bin
Links to sites offering information under the guise of recruitment spam = spam bin
It’s not that complicated.
And if we instead use the term “endless chain recruiting scheme” to describe what CashUnite does, there no difference whatsoever.
In reply to yo yo’s statement (any chance of a real name & pic?): “Charging affiliates a monthly membership fee and paying commissions on it isn’t a legitimate MLM business model, it’s that of a pyramid scheme” – this is correct – but members paying for a product IS NOT – the program is simple it’s free with product – or, you can purchase additional product – there is not a membership fee.
Ps. still cannot add my pic, I click it which takes me to my gravatar page – I select my real pic (not cartoon image) – then nothing? Must be a bug on this page – never mind.
Horseshit.
A = Charging affiliates a monthly membership fee and paying commissions on it
B = attached products
If A is true, B is entirely irrelevant. You can attach whatever you want to monthly membership, you’re still just paying commissions on the membership itself, which is a pyramid scheme.
What’s free? The ability to fill out a form and click on join?
This “it’s free” bull is really disturbing to hear since you will be paying once they launch. Trust me you will have to pull out your credit card and so will all the other “free” members.
You can’t reduce affiliate membership to $0, otherwise you have a lack of differentiation between retail and affiliate revenue – which brings with it the same pyramid scheme problems.
Whatever stick man with flag aka oz – you’re not listening – you don’t ask questions – you just assume – well assume away!
I am in favour of MLM programs being reviewed – but there are two sides – yours and the program – unfortunately on this website it’s all one sided – yours.
Sometimes people have good intentions – sometimes people do the right thing and sometimes you just have to accept you’re wrong.
I’ll now leave you in peace to comment away.
Nah,
we had very little input into that happening.
The facts did it for us.
Have you heard back?
@Trevor
There is one side and it’s that Cash Unite is a recruitment driven membership fee scheme, otherwise known as a pyramid scheme.
Why is it that proponents of pyramid schemes are always lacking on that second count. Goodbye.
KT was retained “several months ago” by Cash Unite. As I understand it the current comp plan is under review (no idea if they’ll change anything).
And you have offered up nothing that would cause us to change it.
Bit more search… Seems Kerst Ward is based in the UK, but the Singh brothers have too popular a name to be worth searching.
Mainak Roy appears to be an SEO expert out of India, not sure if it’s the same guy.
Kerst Ward’s Twitter feed mentions CashUnite, so I know I found the right one.
Why would a UK company retain an AMERICAN MLM attorney specializing in American MLM law is a very good question, esp. when it was apparently NOT registered in the UK.
And this wasn’t the first time scammers have waved around KT’s name. On KT’s blog he said some scammers created a form that phish info pretending that KT’s lawfirm is gathering info about suing another scam.
All the folks that are supposedly working for CashUnite in their office must be starving to death waiting for the cash to roll in from pre launch to launch.
According to the CashUnite back office, there will be 6 different packages available at launch.
Bronze 9.99, silver 19.99, Gold 39.99, platinum 59.99, diamond 79.99 and black 99.99. No details are shared yet about each packages.
I’m a free member if CashUnite, not really doing anything with it until they launch. I’m curious why people consider this a scam? Isnt every single business in the world “recruitment driven”?
Isnt that how you make sales? My TV is filled with commercials from “recruitment driven” companies constantly trying to recruit more customers. Why hasnt the FTC shut down Coke and McDonalds and Apple for recruiting customers?
And it seems that the satellite provider DIRECTV does the exact 2 things CashUnite does: recruit new customers and share the profits from customers to whomever referred those new customers. Why hasnt the FTC shut down DIRECTV for paying people $10 credit for 10 months for referring (recruiting) new customers?
My ultimate decision about CU will come with launch. I imagine the free membership to function similar to HootSuite, but if the $9.99/month CU upgrade inst worth it, then I’ll leave.
I think HootSuite has an upgrade membership – are they illegal? And Amazon has one of the biggest affiliate programs out there, is it illegal for Amazon to pay affiliates to sell their products (to recruit new customers)?
And since CU uses an unlimited width 10-tier structure, by definition thats not a “pyramid”, correct? If I can earn more than my sponsor (his 10th level would be my 9th level and he would earn nothing from my 10th), where is the harm?
I’m a user of HootSuite for free and love it. I know people who hae upgraded and love it. I suppose if HootSuite shared its profits with members like DIRECTV, they would be a “recruitment driven pyramid scheme” too?
No. And what “every single business in the world” is, is irrelevant. We’re specifically looking at an MLM company that is recruitment-driven, meaning the recruitment of participants in the compensation plan (affiliates).
Because recruiting customers != recruiting affiliates.
Not an MLM company, irrelevant.
Not MLM companies, irrelevant.
It is if they’re paying out commissions on affiliate membership fees (recruitment).
You seem to have some severe shortcomings when it comes to understanding the difference between retail customers, affiliates and an MLM company vs. other industries. Time to hit the research books.
@DougClose, where do you think the earnings of cashunite affiliates will come from? Or do you know?
The whole business (if you can call it a business) is driven on recruiting others at this time under the disguise of potentially earning lots of cash. There aren’t even any products at this time, or even any knowledge of the compensation plan, yet you comment wondering why people might think this is a scam.
How can a business payout 100% commissions on sales, have you ever wondered how or why?
There’s a huge difference in legality as it depends are you recruiting CUSTOMERS… or affiliates (like yourself).
One’s just plain direct selling. The other is a pyramid scheme. Yes, you can mix the two together. It’s OFTEN done. Equinox, Burnlounge, TVI Express, FHTM… ALL convicted or settled out of court with consent decree.
Please do some research on some landmark cases, such as FTC vs. Amway, Weber vs. Omnitrition, and so on, as well as the 4-step test of a pyramid scheme. THEN we can discuss how close is CashUnite to the “ideal” pyramid scheme model, and where the “line in sand” is drawn and all that. Right now, to borrow one of the often used phrases from the MLM crowd… “You just don’t get it (but you will)”.
I had decided not to comment anymore as you seem to have a very narrow view of most things…………. however after spending the day with the family whom own this company I can honestly say these are the most decent people I have met in a long time.
Spacious air condition 3 story office full of long term in house people working away on several IT projects .. at there other offices been there 12 years………… servers in several major cities……………. proper decent business people who warmly invited many both today and tomorrow into there arms………………. YOU LOT are wrong on this one.. very wrong …………Nick
Nick none of what you published has anything to do with the companies business model or compensation plan.
If you want to publish marketing spam this isn’t the place for it.
You can’t even just openly tell us who is running things… that speaks volumes of the calibre of Cash Unite.
@Nick Wood, The facebook page is littered with “Congrats to Joe Blow, he recruited 5,000, Blah blah blah”!
Seriously who cares if you hugged the owners wife at your dinner party or if the food was tasty!
You people are only interested in one thing and it is to earn money off of someone in this pyramid scheme. You could care less if John Doe down in your downline waaaaay at the bottom will not earn a dime because of market saturation.
Of course you and a few other top guns in the scheme stand to profit as soon as they get people to open up their wallets.
What about the 100% commissions they say they will pay on the different levels?
Will it be passed upline if folks don’t upgrade to the higher packages?
At this time, admin has collected 100’s of thousands of emails from recruits and from all the emails these people sent out to their lists in order to try and get them in their downlines.
I can just imagine a simple scenario taking place at some point when people have to produce a credit card;
Assuming there will be pass ups from the different membership levels, when admin sends out an email to the whole list and says it is time to upgrade, those at the top will see a huge rise of cash flow being filtered upwards into their pockets, because a high percentage of members will surely not be able to afford buying into these higher levels.
If you ask me, this is a pretty good scam but a pretty darn shameful way to earn money.
On the Facebook page admin makes a comment which seems related to pass ups.
That sounds like someone is using “fake it till you make it” marketing, a similar strategy as Rippln and Wazzub used? The idea revolves mostly around different types of “social proofs”.
The best counter strategy is to dig up factual and neutral information and publish it somewhere where people can find it on the internet.
Cash Unite admin makes a statement they have been DSA approved, published on their Facebook page.
DSA.org member directory search for “cashunite” returned ZERO hits.
So who’s the liar? Hmmm…
Try the correct wording on the certificate you.silly little weasel
nothing on “cash unite” either.
So what “DSA” did they join? Hmmm?
So where is this business registered any way? I don’t think Nick Wood ever gave us an answer.
Non-existent registration, and now non-existent DSA “approval”. What’s next? Non-existent endorsement from “God”?
just like wazzub, primus hub and rippln this one, when will people learn not to promote something that aint even kicked off yet and prob never will, how can people get excited about prelaunches beats me….anyway, the truth is here folks…stay away from cash unite, they are pretending to be DSA members and are using another company MULTI SOCIAL MEDIA’s DSA registration to fool people into thinking it is cash unite…like all the rest this will be an email harvesting scam
Were you talking to yourself?
Ya these scam pimps are always talking to themselves
Searched multi social media LTD and no results either.
According to a video produced by one of the top Cashunite promoters John Botting, he mentions that they are DSA approved and states the company name is known as Multi Social Media LTD.
I researched for some info on the company but cannot seem to find anything.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7fOwJprAJQ&feature=youtu.be
The only entry for “Multi Social Media” is a one-person shop by a Mr. Seinberg out of Altamont, NY. He also do Mac repair and bicycle repair too.
DSA doesn’t approve companies. You either join DSA, or you don’t.
Someone is bull****ing, and it ain’t us.
John Botting…come clean and admit cashunite is a scam, apologise to your followers that you were wrong, it is the right think to do
Now now, I’ll give them a chance to explain their alleged bull****ing…
(BTW, *hate* your handle.)
Asked DSA regarding this thing. Got a reply back that my question has been referred to their legal department.
Make of that what you will, but IMHO, this does NOT sound good… to the promoters. If Cashunite is indeed a member, DSA should have told me so and that’d be end of that. The fact that they didn’t… Well, I’ll leave that up to you. 🙂
Google “Multi Social Media LTD” and you’ll see it was registered over a year ago. Incorporated in July, 2013 in London. You’ll find that information on dozens of sites.
There is your proof!
dsa.org.uk/companies/multi_social_media#
You mean 2012, and it’s at a virtual office

Surely we’re smart enough to know that there may be a difference in a company’s registered name, its brand’s name and its product’s name.
Yes, I meant July 2012 (2013 was a typo). As I said, it was registered over a year ago. Many tech businesses register a virtual office. I’m not a member of CU. I’m waiting until they launch to see everything in action. However, I do want to bring simple facts to light. Be open minded!
So where is the proof cashunite is DSA approved? As they stated with a signed document? Was the document photoshopped?
The proof is that the company “Multi Social Media LTD” is DSA approved per the DSA link I posted above. You may go on the DSA’s website and search for “Multi Social Media LTD” and you’ll see that they’re a member. The DSA certificate in Cash Unite’s facebook page is real, not photoshopped. Multi Social Media LTD is the registered company behind Cash Unite.
Furthermore, DSA approved Multi Social Media as a SUPPLIER of MLM services to MLM companies, NOT AS A MLM COMPANY!
Go to DSA.org.uk and enter “multi social” in the search bar”.
You’ll see Multi Social Media listed as an APPROVED SUPPLIER, not as a MLM member!
So this is still bull****! CashUnite may be using a DSA approved software, but itself is NOT DSA approved or DSA member!
Someone’s been feeding you bull****!
And your proof of this is what, exactly?
Perhaps an analogy is in order…
If I setup an ecommerce shop, and I use Amazon as my fulfillment and eshopping cart service, can I claim that I am backed by Amazon.com, world’s largest store?
I could, but then I’d be be a lying SOB.
You got the same situation here. CashUnite bought the use of Multi Social Media’s MultiSocialSuite, and claim because the software they use is DSA approved (it’s not, the company behind the software is) they claim they are DSA approved as well.
Think critically next time.
If you go to the DSA site and search for “Multi Social Media”, you will see that the product that company offers is called “multisocialsuite”.
If you go to the site multisocialsuite.com, and scroll to the bottom and click the “connect with us buttons” you’re taken to the cashunite facebook and twitter pages.
Multisocial Suite and Cashunite are just different names for the product offered by Multi Social Media LTD, which is offically DSA approved. With a couple mins of research, you can connect the dots.
Prove that CashUnite bought the use of MultiSocialSuite from Multi Social Media and that CashUnite is not a product of Multi Social Media.
Uh, you’re asking readers to prove what you’re asserting.
Rightio…
Oz, wrong. I asked K. Chang to prove what he asserted in his message. Scroll up and you’ll see.
Kasey didn’t assert anything, he disagreed with your initial assertion that ‘Multisocial Suite and Cashunite are just different names for the product offered by Multi Social Media LTD’.
Disagree with an assertion is different to making one. The onus is on you to prove your assertion, which you’ve thus far only done so by pointing to Facebook and Twitter links.
Note that I’m not disagreeing with your assertion personally, as I largely see DSA approval as irrelevant. Cash Unite’s business model is all that interests me.
To date that hasn’t been clarified, nor has company ownership. DSA approval takes a backseat in light of those two more pressing red flags.
Hey I’m not on any side here. I’m on the fence. All I’m asking for is proof from the naysayers. I’m finding proof that backs up CU. You all have yet to prove them wrong.
K. Chang stated:
“The only entry for “Multi Social Media” is a one-person shop by a Mr. Seinberg out of Altamont, NY. He also do Mac repair and bicycle repair too.”
However, I’ve proved that’s not true. “Multi Social Media LTD” does appear on the DSA site and the product is multisocialsuite, which redirects to cashunite’s site.
I’d love to see some concrete evidence from you all that proves anything CU claims to be false. Expressing heated skepticism doesn’t cut it. Where is the evidence?
Oz, I agree, I’m not entirely concerned with the DSA stamp of approval. The business model upon launch is what concerns me, which is why I am waiting for the launch. However, it irks me when any false accusation is made about anything.
K. Chang clearly stated:
That statement of his is an assertion. That is what I asked him to prove (that CU bought MSS from MSM).
Fair call. He does have a point with Multi Social Media only being recognised as a supplier though. They aren’t listed as an MLM company member in any capacity as far as I can see.
Taken from the DSA UK website:
This would indicate that Cash United / Multi Social Media are not approved by the DSA in the capacity that is being claimed – that being an MLM company with affiliates.
I agree the details of the business model have not yet been released, but information about the CEOs/cofounders has been published.
Not publicly on the Cash Unite website, which for prospective affiliates is a red flag.
Surely the point of this discussion among us is not to see who wins the debate, but to get to the bottom of this CU issue. Unless of course you’re just hellbent on bashing CU for no valid reason.
If you have good reason to assert anything CU claims is false, deceptive etc., then please present concrete evidence so we may get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, I’m sure we have better things to do than go back and forth on baseless speculations.
In the end we’re trying to find worthwhile business opportunities to invest in and worthless ones to steer clear of.
Sure:
Multi Social Media are only recognised as a supplier member of the DSA UK, which they define as a company supplying products and services to MLM companies. Multi Social Media, and thus Cash Unite are not recognised as MLM company members of the DSA UK.
This is in contrast to what is being deceptively being claimed, that Cash Unite is a member of the DSA. It cannot be because Multi Social Media are not recognised as a DSA UK member in the capacity Cash Unite operate in, that being as an MLM company, not a supplier to MLM companies.
Speak for yourself.
I shall speak for myself. In the end I’m trying to find worthwhile business opportunities to invest in and worthless ones to steer clear of. You may be seeking the opposite. Good luck 🙂
Only if you consider “opportunities” that claims to be “approved” when it’s only approved as a SUPPLIER (presmuably of software solutions) not as a MLM business.
That’s fraud (or at least, half-truth) right there.
Frankly, any company that had to misrepresent itself like this, or allow any associate/affiliate/whatever to misrepresent it without consequence should not be worthy of anyone’s consideration, IMHO of course.
Maybe you’re looking for such an “opportunity”… as you said…
My scenario is as logical as yours and fits all the facts until proven (or disproven).
Sure, have the owners clarify the situation and prove me wrong. Don’t YOU want to know? or did you just ASSUME that your version is the truth and you’re the one being close-minded to alternative interpretations?
Cashunite claims they will give a portion of profits to charity, what charity would that be? Or is that just icing on the cake to make it look more tasty?
Tasty. Wazzub also claimed to donate stuff to charity. And “Bids that Give” is a penny auction like Zeek that claims to donate MORE to charity (and never launched).
When you go to multisocialsuite(DOT)com there is really nothing on the page but some “basic” information of what the MSsuite is all about.
There are also a couple comments on the bottom right page which make no sense to me since this site has nothing to offer other than capture an email from someone.
I don’t quite get it, how can a business be DSA approved when they have nothing to show except a Facebook page.
I also searched for the company “Multi Social Media LTD” and just come up with some registrar info and thats about it. One would figure that when searching a company, an official company site would show up in the listings.
Am I missing something here?
Your lack of correct information is astounding
If your reference is to me, I am not very good with computers, but learning. This is why I am asking a question here from the search I just did.
Perhaps you can enlighten me Nick?
Reading all the posts on here it is quite evident that you are intent on rubishing this company.which is clearly registered with companies house…..has a DSA certificate from the direct selling association….whom I have know for over 25 years….
The company is based in Broad street Birmingham ..and is fully staffed with real people. who you can see live on the webcam on thr company website……unlike you guys….who challenge every one and everything from behind aviators.
Please be decent enough to be fair and open…..I am not the company simply a member. However I am always happy to answer any genuine question….thank you
Google up information on Multi Social Media LTD, what do you find?
Why would any business in the online world especially a social media hub be seeking DSA approval?
I though it was simply a club for Direct sellers, ie. moving product from person to person – door to door, party plan etc. Even in their limited business arena a direct selling company who chooses not to join the DSA (and pay fees on turnover) does not make it illegal or unethical which many DSA worshippers assume.
Social media or online marketing companies may choose to register with another body in keeping with their industry. Joining any body does not mean a company will act ethically even if it fulfills the menbership criteria.
What do you DO there?
I have already found out that you can log in and you can log out, so you can skip details like that. I have also read that you can buy “bronze packages”.
Yes you can buy a bronze package….and ?…………..
You will find it was registered in July 2012, and also info like this:
The company itself seems to be rather “empty”, e.g. what you can expect if someone has set up a fake headquarter in another country just to look more “legitimate” as a business.
Communication logic isn’t your primary skill, I’ll guess?
The logic goes like this:
Nick: “I’m happy to answer questions”
Me: “What do you DO there?”
“Bronze package” was among the details you could skip.
A normal answer should typically be about what you DO in Cash Unite, e.g. on a daily basis, but something other than “We log in and we log out”. 🙂
So what is the “correct” information, in your view, hmmm? Less yapping and more action. Else you’re just a pundit lambasting alleged pundits.
And that means what, exactly ???
While it may be impressive to someone inexperienced, otherwise it says nothing, ESPECIALLY whether or not the company is running a sustainable, completely legal multi level marketing business or a guaranteed to fail, illegal pyramid / endless chain recruiting scheme
I no longer wish to bother with you people go play with somebody who gives a fuck….you are a bunch of odd balls……all with severe issues they you need to overcome…..perhaps you should go on Jeremy Kyle….he like people like you….
(Ozedit: I’m permitting this last comment (unedited) from Nick solely on the basis that readers can get a sense of what to expect if they ask Cash Unite affiliates questions about the opportunity. Any future correspondence from Nick will be sent straight to the spam bin)
Seems Nick should have wrote: I no longer wish to play with people who ask questions. I want sheeple, not thinkers!
Yeah exactly!!! Nick is a perfect example of what responses you get from most everyone in this ponzie industry when you do your homework on an opportunity first and ask questions.
Nick really didn’t answer any questions at all, he came here to play with us boys and girls only really to find he couldn’t handle playing the game and as a poor loser chose to use language that an adult “cry baby” who didn’t get he way uses.
How hard is it to provide real information for people instead of a bunch of cover up stories.
Nick Wood, if I were a member in your downline, I would be disgusted after reading your post. You shine bright as a good example onto cashunite, cashunite must be proud of you!
Knowing what has been shown here so far, I have to seriously think that your DSA document was a photoshop document.
My question was plain and simple, “What do you DO in Cash Unite (e.g. on a daily basis)?”. But he clearly got offended even by a simple question like that. 🙂
“What do you DO there?” should normally be decent, open, fair and genuine enough. But the question clearly triggered some emotional reactions.
Cashunite indication of downlines passing up?
Taken from the facebook page:
CashUnite comp plan being revealed?
Oz guess you will need to make some updates on CU soon since they are coming out with some comp plan details.
When they put one out, sure.
Cash Unite website is still just a sales capture page for now.
still not launched…nothing new there then, the usual waiting game goes on as with all prelaunches
Well so far it looks like a pass up money game which might make a lot of the top players a lot of money.
The CashUnite compensation plan is now out.
That was taken from the first video on the Cash Unite website.
Looks the same to me.
promoters have a detailed description on google or youtube taken from a PDF file issued by the company.
I’ll have a look at it if they put it up on the website, till then I’ll consider it unofficial.
Weird!!! I typed in the main cashunite website and this popped up:
Launch day today, and not launched yet…nuthin new there then
They launched! The site looks like it is only geared towards marketers, I don’t see why anyone would want to be a free customer.
It looks like a member of cashunite has being using a fake identity to get people to join under her. It has been posted on the mmg site. This woman (person) set up a face book profile with a bunch of bikini clad poses and pretended to be that person in the pictures.
What these ponzie promoters won’t do to recruit!
This company appears to be utterly incompetant when it comes to providing prospective affiliates and members of the general public with the complete details of their compensation plan.
Crucial information about the Cash Unite business opportunity is still behind a paid affiliate firewall.
From the “opportunity” page it appears they’re still going with the social network aggregator (useless) and a 10 level deep unilevel.
Affiliates paying affiliates? Cash gifting with a $9.95 a month participation pricetag:
Oh and the more you pay in affiliate fees the more you earn too…
Meanwhile I’m not seeing anybody paying a monthly fee for a social network aggregator at a retail level. Furthermore unless I’m missing something I can’t seem to see the price for Cash Unite’s “MultiSocialSuite” anywhere on the website. All I can see advertised is the $9.95 affiliate fee.
Steven Hassan’s BITE cult model… I stands for Information… as in Information CONTROL.
Taken from the mmg forum;
Looking at those subscription prices it’s glaringly obvious where the commission funds are being sourced from…
And again unless I’m missing something, retail doesn’t appear to exist?
Yeah Oz and the facebook page seems pretty quiet. With all those who were boasting downlines of thousands and banking on the BIG payday at launch seem to mostly have gone silent. The calm after the storm.
FYI CU finally put the comp plan up on the site.
Goodness whats going on with CU
flopped I think, no one pimps it anymore
Flopped !!!!! we have over 50,000 members Worldwide and growing by the hour…only Launched on October 14th 2013……..Our product is being used daily by thousands of people from all walks of life………………. Flopped !!! what a bizarre thing to say ??
PS..I don’t understand ‘no one pimps it anymore ???
No surprise when they don’t seem to be registered anywhere.
CashUnite joint CEOs “Ronnie and Raj” tell you everything you never wanted to know about CashUnite
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=gwkpJWNRjzU
one of the pimps in MMG even admitted its sinking slowly
Cash Unite seem to have scrapped their previous compensation plan and have adopted the pass-up plan model that’s currently in vogue.
Revenue still appears to be primarily generated by affiliate membership fees, so I’m not inclined to write up a new review.
Basically it’s a 2-up plan, with membership pegged at:
Bronze – $14.99 a month
Silver – $29.99
Gold – $59.99
Platinum – $89.99
Diamond – $119 a month
What’s really telling is the fact they’ve changed the compensation plan rather than the product/service. Retail viability has nothing to do with a compensation plan, so if an MLM product or service flops, changing the comp plan isn’t going to make it any more attractive to non-participants.
No matter how you pay out commissions, if you’re sourcing them from affiliate membership fees (paying on recruitment), then you’re still running a pyramid scheme.
Oh and what’s really ironic is that I wrote this in the original July 2013 review:
And it was met with vehement “there will be no pass-ups” denials by Cash Unite’s affiliates.
Why?
Because it’s kind of obvious then that affiliates are just going to be paying affiliates…
…and here we are.
CashUnite is still going. CashBackcard is still going
well fancy that Goo-ness XXX
Looks pretty dead to me.
Update from 2014 regarding CashUnite, yes unfortunately that has closed .not collapsed or run off with anyone’s money, everyone was refunded or paid
However CashBackcard which I joined in 2009 is still going strong in several countries
well fancy that Goo-ness XXX
100% commissions + math = net-losers. No need to lie.
I was one of the top people in this – unfortunately the owners of the company had no INTEGRITY.
After building 20,000 people in pre-launch the whole thing collapsed because of the inexperience of the management team (The two Ronnie’s).
These idiots are a joke – and all funded by the Dad – A fat man who was the dad.
