There is no information on the 6 Daily Pay website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The domain ‘6dailypay.com’ was registered on the 12th March 2012 however and lists a ‘Linda Fred’ as the registrant operating out of Montreal, Quebec in Canada.

I tried googling the address provided in the whois information but didn’t have much luck, it either seems to be incorrectly formatted or doesn’t exist.

MXI Corp was founded in 2005 by mother and son team Jeanette and Andrew Brooks and is based out of the state of Nevada in US.

Prior to launching the MLM opportunity MXI Corp, Jeanette Brooks founded Pure De-Lite which marketed a low-carb chocolate bar via a non-MLM wholesale model (they marketed to retail companies who then sold to consumers).

As far as a track record and research into the background of MXI Corps’ two founders go, there’s an article published by the Brisbane Times that lays out a pretty detailed history of Jeanette and Andrew Brooks (photo right) as well as their past ventures that’s worth reading in full.

Here’s the cliffnotes:

Just three years ago, as they were launching their Xocai chocolate range through their network marketing company MXI Corp, Jeanette and Martin Brooks were facing more than $US36 million in claims from 25 individuals, companies and government agencies as part of bankruptcy proceedings in their home town of Reno.

The couple, who quote celebrities such as Larry King, Oprah Winfrey and Marie Osmond as supporters of their latest product, fled creditors for Canada 15 years ago, but they are back in lavish new Nevada headquarters.

MXI Corp and websites it has spawned worldwide through its distributors claims heady success for the Brooks family’s past businesses. But their four previous companies distributing diet and health foods have been involved in litigation and bankruptcy in Nevada, Utah, Alabama, two Canadian provinces and the Cayman Islands, the Herald has found after examining hundreds of pages of US court documents.

The Brookses’ creditors included the US and Canadian tax offices, business partners and angry distributors of a previous product, the Phoenix Fiber Cookie, which was withdrawn after the US Food and Drug Administration found that false health claims were being made for it.

The Brookses have had several brushes with the law. Mr Brooks, the chief executive of MXI Corp, was arrested in Montana and pleaded guilty to unlawfully transferring funds from Nevada to the Cayman Islands 15 years ago.

The following year, he and his wife consented to a civil judgement for fraud for about $US600,000.

Mrs Brooks promotes herself as a millionaire at 29 and as the driving force behind the $300 million in retail sales achieved by MXI’s predecessor, Pure De-Lite.

She does not advertise that that company was placed in receivership, nor that its “low carb” Pure De-Lite Chocolate Bar was found in violation of the law because it was not sugar-free as claimed, while its carbohydrate content was understated.

Not exactly confidence inspiring, however MXI Corp along with the Brookses are still in business today in 2012 so that’s something to consider.

Once upon a time you could market Zeek Rewards to prospective new affiliates on the trust that here was a company owned and operated in the US, with US banking services and backed by a company that had 14 years of history of conducting business out of Lexington in the US state of North Carolina.

If you had a problem, sorting it out was as simple as calling support up and getting your problem fixed at the latest, within a few hours. Oh, and let’s not forget “neither Zeek Rewards nor Rex Ventures have ever missed a payment”.

Sure Zeek Rewards business model didn’t really stand up to scrutiny (how could it when it was launched guaranteeing a 125% ROI) and the whole thing reads like a dodgy investment scheme, but at least members could proclaim with confidence that should something go wrong – the money was easily recoverable because it hadn’t been fluttered away to some distant undisclosed location.

Well, not anymore. [Continue reading…]

When Wazzub entered pre-launch in late 2011 the company initially promised to pay members $1 a month per member recruited and made a big deal about their ‘profit sharing phenomenon’.

Within a few short months this $1 commission was quietly scrapped and the company rephrased its commissions structure around what they now call a ‘success sharing phenomenon’. This meant that the company was willing to pay members 50% of profits generated by Wazzub.

After seven or so months of prelaunch and the fixed launch date of August 1st 2012 just around the corner, today we take a look at where Wazzub and its ‘Perfect Internet’ is at.

Commission wise Wazzub were supposed to start paying their members on May 15th 2012. This was then pushed back to June 15th 2012 however a webinar on May 25 confirmed that members would not be getting paid on June 15th either. [Continue reading…]

When Troy Dooly from MLM Helpdesk mentioned that Zeek Rewards COO Dawn Wright-Olivares was going to appear on yesterday’s edition of radio show Aces Radio Live, I took note because to date any public appearance Olivares (or anyone from Zeek Rewards corporate) has amounted to little more than a thinly veiled PR excercise with little actual substance.

Such was the case the last time Dooly sat down with Wright-Olivares at the first Zeek Rewards red carpet event. Despite the interview running in at just under thirty-two minutes, nothing much was really covered other than a bunch of softball positive publicity talking points.

In what initially looked to be another PR exercise, yesterday’s Aces Radio Live broadcast started to delve into some interesting territory with co-host Jim Gillhouse fielding questions from listeners.

Twenty three minutes into the broadcast I then heard possibly the most important question to date that has been put forth to a Zeek Rewards corporate staff member has been asked publicly…

…but no sooner had the question been asked, Troy Dooly immediately moved to shut it down. [Continue reading…]

There is no information on the Jollybuzz website indicating who runs or owns the company.

The domain ‘jollybuzz.com’ was registered on the 10th May 2011, however the domain registration information is set to private.

Curiously enough the ‘About Us’ page on the Jollybuzz website appears to be the default template for the free software the creators of Jollybuzz are using to power the website.

The About Us page references ‘Dolphin Smart Community Builder’ software which is owned by the company ‘BoonEx’:

BoonEx describe Dolphin as being ‘the world’s most advanced free community software‘ and offer it to the general public open-source and free of charge.

A look at the source-code indicates that Jollybuzz is indeed being powered by BoonEx’s Dolphin software:

In summary, it appears that whoever owns Jollybuzz has just downloaded BoonEx’s free Dolphin backend and launched a templated social network. [Continue reading…]

I wouldn’t call myself a serious outdoors enthusiast but between cycling and hiking, I know that if you want to get the most out of the two you need to have the right gear.

There’s a world of difference when cycling with regular shoes and clothes just the same as hiking in slippers with jeans is vastly different to doing both activities with even the barest of essential equipment and gear.

Extend that concept to the greater outdoors in general and you have the concept behind GlobalNet Outdoors. Read on for a full review of the GNO MLM business opportunity. [Continue reading…]

As always, if a 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. [Continue reading…]

There is no information on the Big Mulah website indicating who runs or owns the business.

The domain ‘bigmulah.com’ however was registered on the 13th March 2012 and lists a ‘Cruz Ramirez’ as the owner operating out of Texas in the US.

Ramirez, who refers to himself as the ‘Mexican Marketer’, appears to have been involved in and run quite a few dodgy looking schemes over the years.

Back in 2010 he launched a recruitment based social network site ‘The Dollartribe’, which didn’t last too long.

I’ve also seen Ramirez promoting Ricochet Riches (a defunct Ponzi scheme) under his now (also defunct) MRUVME Marketing brand:

Wazzub (dubious search portal that has missed launch and payment deadlines):

These are just some more recent examples but I’ve seen Ramirez promoting a fair few recruitment based opportunities dating back even further than 2010 (3900 Income from 2008 is just one example).

Of his internet marketing career thus far Ramirez writes:

My name is Cruz Ramirez I am from Texas and I have been online since 2001.

My main goal from day one was to use my PC to make money and my journey has taken me around the internet world like a ball in a pinball machine, I bounced from program to program and buisness to business spending money and never making money.

Presumably sick of bouncing from program to program, Ramirez launched Big Mulah in April 2012 and appears to have redirected every domain under his control to the Big Mulah website.
