There is no information on the Resort Cruise Club International website indicating  who runs or owns the business.

The domain ‘resortcruiseclub.com’ however was registered on the 5th of April 2012 and lists a Randal Williams from Prosperity Formula LLC as the domain owner.

Randal Williams (also known as Randy Williams, photo right) first popped up BehindMLM’s radar as one of the co-founders of the recruitment scam Fast Profits Daily. Teaming up with Brett Robinson and Scott Chandler (who had just quit as founders of AutoXTen, another recruitment scam), Williams launched Fast Profits Daily back in September 2011.

Less than six months later, in February 2012 Fast Profits Daily was relaunched as Profit Racer Pro. Profit Racer Pro used the same recruitment commissions model as AutoXTen and Fast Profits Daily before it.

The problem with the business model behind all three companies was that once new members stopped signing up, commissions dried up and the companies fell apart.

Now just three months after the launch of Fast Profits Daily it seems the company has stalled and Williams has decided to launch yet another company, Resort Cruise Club.

Is Resort Cruise Club International just another recruitment scam bound to fail in just a few short months like William’s other MLM ventures, or has he learnt from his mistakes and launched a viable product-based company this time around?

Back in 2005 Doug Sleeth founded Printer Shoppe, a wholesale graphic design and printing company (non MLM) that marketed their services and products to US-based businesses.

As I understand it, Printer Shoppe retail centers (electronic kiosks) were set up in participating retail stores who would then, through the kiosks, sell Printer Shoppe’s printing and graphic services at a retail level.

In June 2011 Sleeth then decided to expand his business and launched ViralPrint to expand Printer Shoppe’s retail offering to a wider market.

Over the past year or so I’ve had a few requests from readers to review the Lyoness MLM business opportunity.

The first time this happened I added Lyoness to my review list and when the time came went over their site to start my research.

A few hours and a massive headache later, I closed my browser window and gave up. I concluded that Lyoness had put so little thought and effort into the coherency of explaining their business, that it simply wasn’t worth my time to try to understand the business model.

Taking recent strides to beef up their US presence however, Lyoness has finally realised that their business presentations and information desperately needed a massive overhaul.

Armed with some decent and clear information on the company and the business model, I’m now able to present a complete review of the Lyoness US business opportunity. [Continue reading…]

Ever since the Solomon James writ 383 petition was filed late last year, Speak Asia, AISPA and senior panelists have harped on and on about how this one case was supposed to decide everything.

“Don’t worry about anything else, just follow the Supreme Court and they’ll sort everything out” was pretty much the line towed by those running things. Instilled with the confidence that the highest court in India was indeed handling all matters Speak Asia, the company’s panelists all too eagerly swallowed the company line and rallied against critics, the media and the various authorities investigating Speak Asia.

Seemingly out of the blue however, around a fortnight ago Speak Asia’s defacto management team in India, AISPA, started to publicly put forth a new direction. After nearly a year of proclaiming that the Supreme Court would fix everything and ensure Speak Asia a business restart, all of a sudden AISPA were now telling panelists to pretty much ignore all court cases.

Something didn’t add up, and yesterday why the sudden shift in company management policy regarding the subduing of panelists was finally made clear.

On the 21st of March 2012, AISPA told the Mumbai High Court that

the Apex Court has appointed a mediator and the mediator (has) seized the entire case.

This was infact something AISPA had been claiming for a while now and formed one of the cornerstone arguments of both AISPA and Speak Asia’s coordinated launching of court cases to have criminal investigations into Speak Asia quashed.

Giving AISPA the benefit of the doubt and not wanting to possibly rule over the Supreme Court (or interfere with the Supreme Court case if it was indeed dealing with criminal investigations into Speak Asia), the Mumbai High Court ordered a stay on the EOW’s investigation and asked that they “obtain clarification” from the Supreme Court regarding the writ 383 petition and criminal investigations.

There is no information on the 10 Daily Cash website indicating who owns or runs the company.

The domain ’10dailycash.com’ was registered on the 26th April 2012 and lists the domain registrant as:

owner-name: Michael Chardi
owner-street: NYStreen No.3
owner-city: Sydney
owner-state: Sydney
owner-zip: 2993992
owner-country: AT
owner-phone: +43.83326556255
owner-fax:
owner-email: script4money@gmail.com

Interestingly enough the ‘admin’ contact details are different from the domain owner details:

admin-name: Wersen Janyers
admin-street: NY street no.342
admin-city: Florida
admin-state: Florida
admin-zip: 898773884
admin-country: UA
admin-phone: +380.3226545488
admin-fax:
admin-email: forexplanet@ymail.com

A quick search on both emails (‘forexplanet@ymail.com’ and ‘script4money@gmail.com’) reveals both emails have previously been tied into multiple dodgy looking investment schemes, the bulk of which are no longer operational.

You’ll note that the addresses provided in the domain registration also don’t really make sense either so I’m pretty sure that both listed contacts are fake IDs.

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…]

Undeniably however, Global Information Network is definitely one of the more interesting MLM opportunities I’ve taken the time to look at. Read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]

There is no information on the US Utility Direct website indicating who owns or runs the company.

The domain ‘usutilitydirect.com’ was registered on the 15th of April 2012 however the domain registration information is set to private.

The only public name I’ve seen associated with US Utility Direct is “VIP Founder” Steve Gewecke. Gewecke credits himself as the President and Owner of ‘Morningstar Marketing and Consulting LLC’ on his LinkedIn profile and has published a few videos on Youtube where he mentions he is also the Marketing Director of US Utility Direct.

Back in late February Gewecke wrote on Twitter wrote:

Can’t wait to get my new project started! BIG things happening in the next 90 days! More details coming soon!

One month later he then began promoting his involvement in Network Marketing VT:

Network Marketing VT is of course a cash gifting scam launched in late January 2012 and not surprisingly, doesn’t appear to have worked out for Gewecke.

At present Gewecke is the only person I can see publicly promoting US Utility Direct which is definitely odd (why would an executive of the company be recruiting on YouTube?). Moreso when you consider that Gewecke doesn’t mention anyone higher than him (an owner, president or CEO) in any of his US Utility Direct marketing material.

Throw in Gewecke’s ‘can’t wait to get me new project started!‘ tweet and I’m starting to think that there might not be anyone higher than Gewecke himself.

A silent partner (or partners) is possible of course but with Gewecke running his own marketing company I’m not really buying it. That said, without further clarification public ownership of US Utility Direct Review is currently unknown.

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…]

The first thing that struck me about the 14 Daily Profit MLM opportunity was the name, in that it’s remarkably similar to the 12 Daily Profit Ponzi scheme launched just over a month ago.

Sure the two company names sound suspiciously similar but is there anything else linking these two sites together?

With most of the important court cases Speak Asia are involved in delayed until June or July and seemingly little development overall in the month of April, there hasn’t been all that much on Speak Asia to discuss.

Whilst some senior panelists continue to run around telling everyone to be patient, “trust the company” and in the face of court delays even downplay the heavy emphasis placed on the various cases Speak Asia are involved in, others are seemingly fed up and bringing their plight and stories to light.

One such senior panelist is Raghuyveer Bere, a self-described ‘Kohei’ panelist from Hyderabad. [Continue reading…]

Traditionally when it comes to social networks, it is the networks themselves that provide value to the end-user.

This value is typically in the form of providing a service that the network’s users didn’t have access to before (and need) or an existing service that is better utilised via the social network in question.

Typically the problem I’ve seen with every MLM focused social network is that they bring nothing new to the table and solely rely on a recruitment-based business model to drive membership.

What results is a social network filled with marketers trumpeting the success of the network based on the monthly commissions they are being paid from the membership fees of the people they managed to get to sign up.

Outside of the financial incentive, there’s little to no incentive or need to use the network and eventually it fails.

Is MLMconnects any different? Read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]
