There is no information on the Wealth Cash Maker website about who owns or runs the company. The only information of note is that the site is running on a ‘YourFreeWorld’ script.

The domain ‘wealthcashmaker.com’ was registered on the 31st July 2010 and lists a ‘Paul Rice’ as the owner, operating out of Devon in the UK. [Continue reading…]

There is no information on the Cup Trust website about who runs or owns the company.

The domain ‘cuptrust.com’ was registered on the 27th March 2012, however the registration information is set to private.

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…]

I’ve been tracking this story since it broke about a week ago now, hoping that Zeek Rewards would put out a press release explaining just what is going on regarding the recent banning of members from six countries.

Unfortunately despite banning accounts of Zeek Rewards members based in these countries over a week ago, to date the company has yet to put out any official explanation.’

Instead, I’ve had to piece together what’s happening from members themselves and what little snippets of info have been made public by Zeek Rewards’ support staff.

Approximately a week ago, members from Serbia, Slovenia, Belarus, Egypt, Croatia and Macedonia woke up to find their Zeek Rewards account deactivated. No explanation or information was given as to why.

Initially staff at Zeek Rewards support centre had no idea what was going on, but over the past few days a number of responses have indicated some rather dubious explanations for the outright strange reasons for the ban.

Yesterday, the first response from Zeek Rewards support regarding the issue was made public. [Continue reading…]

There is no information on the 13 Daily Doubler website as to who owns or runs the company.

The domain ’13dailydoubler.com’ was registered on the 19th March 2012 and lists the registrant as:

Dailycash
Philippe Van Pear (support@13dailydoubler.com)
1003 rue de spa
brussels
brussels,1000
BE
Tel. +32.49699967

In the past two months I’ve seen no less than three Ponzi schemes pop up with registrants listed as being in Brussels Belgium:

• Profit Doubler (profitdoubler.net) – launched around February 23rd 2012 and is now defunct
• Daily Cash Doubler (dailycashdoubler.com) – launched around March 7th 2012
• 12 Daily Income (12dailyincome.com) – launched around March 20th 2012

All of the above scams were obvious Ponzi schemes offering ridiculous returns over a fixed period of times, and all listed domain owners in Brussels Belgium.

I’d say whoever is running 13 Daily Doubler are the same scamsters who ran the above opportunities. It goes without saying that the various names used to register the domains of these companies are fake too. [Continue reading…]

SEO has been a bit of a rollercoaster these last few months. Recently Google busted several blog linking networks and have made some advancements in the way they detect dodgy link practices, along with major changes to their anchor-text evaluations.

While the dust is still settling, the SEO industry is currently in quite possibly experiencing the largest amount of experimentation the sector has seen in years.

If the above makes little sense to you, think of SEO like a car and then imagine someone telling you that what you’ve been putting into your car doesn’t work anymore (or won’t work as well). They’re also not going to tell you what to replace it with.

Oh, and you can no longer drive on roads anymore.

That’s a basic analogy explaining the magnitude of the most recent changes made over the past few months in SEO. With that in mind, it might seem like a strange time to be joining a MLM company with SEO at its core.

Nonetheless, read on for a full review of the Network Empire MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]

Yesterday saw the latest hearing of the Solomon James writ 383 petition and whilst the order hasn’t been made public, the general consensus appears to be that the proceedings are now at the mercy of the criminal investigations being conducted by various government agencies.

Noticeably absent from the discussion has been any mention of exit options or subscription refunds.

Of course once the order is made public of course a clearer picture will be made but until then, I thought I’d put up some information regarding Navniit Kkhosla’s refund.

From time to time I’m contacted by Speak Asia’s panelists asking what they should do to go about getting their money back. Not being an advocate or concerned with individual refunds outside of the scope of the business operations of Speak Asia itself, I usually state as such and refer them to seek legal advice.

My interest is and always has been after all with the business model and analysis of the company as a MLM opportunity in general.

Still, with a hearing set four weeks away and Navniit Kkhosla kind enough to forward his story along with his intervention order currently filed in the Supreme Court, I hope this information is of some use to panelists being kept in the dark by Speak Asia and its officials. [Continue reading…]

Usually when MLM companies market themselves as social networks they claim to be a Facebook killer and virtually guarantee they’ll be the next big thing in social networking.

Then there are companies like FB2Rich. These guys aren’t a social network per say, but rather claim that by using Facebook, their members can earn $100,000 in 45 days.

Read on for a full review of the FB2Rich MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]

After confirming that hundreds of thousands of dollars in fraud had occurred through Zeekler back in mid February, Zeek Rewards put out a press release advising its members that the company had implemented some ‘extra fraud detection measures‘ to deal with the problem.

Zeek Rewards claimed that

thieves have used hundreds of stolen credit card account numbers to create fake customers.

They then those stolen cards to purchase retail bids to earn the 20% commission. They request to be paid the commission by STP or AlertPay.

By the time the owners of the stolen credit card number contact us or their bank, the commissions have already been paid to these thieves.

Also admitted was that Zeek Rewards had no recourse to recover the funds paid out to these “thieves”. Ultimately it would be Zeek Rewards members who would take the hit as the hundreds of thousands paid out due to fraud would be deducted from the company’s daily profit share.

So anyway, that was back in mid February 2012. A month and a half later you’d assume that Zeek Rewards was free of fraud… right?

Wrong. Well, that’s if a quick perusal of some of Zeekler’s more recent penny auctions are anything to go by. [Continue reading…]
