What if I told you I had a way to heal you that didn’t involve taking any medication or supplements.

What if I told you I could increase your energy and wellbeing, energize any area of the body including body fluids, enhance your sleep, protect you from toxins in your food, energise the third party healthcare products you use and even energize the food and drink you consume.

All with a single product.

You’d think I was nuts right? (or at the very least be hugely suspicious)…

…welcome to the cornerstone product of Amega Global’s product line. [Continue reading…]

With panelists going unpaid and regulators closing in, no doubt a lot of Speak Asia panelists have started putting some very uncomfortable questions towards the company.

With no less than four government agencies also investigating the company, Speak Asia has also been under immense pressure to come up with some tangible answers about their business model.

Sometime over the last twenty four hours Speak Asia has decided to publish a set of frequently asked questions (FAQ), designed to put to rest many of the rumours, allegations and accusations currently surrounding it.

Unfortunately most of the forty three point FAQ Speak Asia have published is nonsense and either doesn’t make sense or  hold up to a bar of scrutiny.

Of the forty three Q&A published by Speak Asia, here’s a rundown and analysis of some of the dubious, interesting and eye opening claims; [Continue reading…]

Last we checked in, on March 31st the Norwegian Gaming Board upheld it’s original decision that Wealth Masters International was a ‘pyramid scheme’.

At the time, Wealth Masters were given 30 days to appeal the decision and indeed according to information provided by BehindMLM reader M_Norway, they did just that.

On April 18th, 19th and 26th the Gaming Board received correspondence from Wealth Masters (both their US and Scandanavian operations). WMI Scandanavia seems to have officially launched an appeal whilst WMI US seems to have just thrown their support behind one.

In doing so, the US branch of Wealth Masters has definitely taken an aggressive approach. Stopping short of providing proof, in their last letter to the Norwegian Gaming Board, WMI accused the board of colluding with a Norwegian blogger in order to ‘smear, libel and discredit WMI’.

Quite a serious charge for a private company to lay against a government agency I’m sure you’ll agree. [Continue reading…]

Despite predictions of 50 million members by November 2011 and having launched to continuous failure since its introduction back in November 2009, earlier this year founder Verne Packer shut down the social network YourNight.

The main reason?

In a letter sent out to YourNight members, Packer confessed that

we know that YN suffered greatly because of too much focus and attention on making money rather than building a huge member base of social users.

With that in mind, just a few short months later the BizOppers social network was announced and went into beta prelaunch. With a history of failure from being too reliant on making money off new memberships rather then providing value in a large memberbase to begin with, BizOppers had to overcome this challenge and evolve.

Partnered with the ‘Super Word of Mouth’ (SWOM) social network (effectively bringing in a reported 140,000+ members), BizOppers recently finished their beta launch and presumably are now in either prelaunch or launch.

Has Packer managed to shake off the recruitment stigma of YourNight with BizOppers and create a real social network that’s actually delivers worth and value to its members?

Let’s find out. [Continue reading…]

After last weekends developments regarding Speak Asia bank account closures in both India and Singapore, it seems the company has found itself simply indefensible.

So much so that its senior lawyer Ashok Saraogi resigned and ceased representing Speak Asia last Friday, just five days after he was initially hired. [Continue reading…]

When you run a questionable business model and run into problems, if you’re big enough, the resulting storm of negative publicity and deterioration of company operations usually results in an avalanche of lies, misinformation and distortion.

Standard modus operandi under such conditions are that the company and it’s members accuse critics of lying, question their motives, cry unfair persecution and claim to be the only reliable source of information regarding company operations.

In the case of Speak Asia, this is no different.

In light of Speak Asia’s bank accounts being frozen yesterday and numerous government investigations launched last week, the commentary and accusations coming out of Speak Asia against its critics are flying left right and centre.

And if there wasn’t millions of dollars on the line and over two million members involved, it’d all be quite amusing.

As a reference to counter all the crap being published by the company, today I thought I’d take some time to directly address the recurring themes and points of defense I’ve encountered from Speak Asia and its members. [Continue reading…]

News trickled in overnight that problem plagued MLM firm Speak Asia has had its bank accounts frozen in both Singapore and India.

In Singapore, the United Overseas Bank (UOB) froze and informed Speak Asia that they were  ‘unable to continue maintaining the… accounts you have with us’.

Additionally it has been reported that bank accounts in India belonging to Speak Asia’s ‘Indian agents’ have also been frozen pending regulatory action.

The end result? Speak Asia are currently unable to process payments to their panelists.

As what appears to be the beginning of the end looms over Speak Asia, you’d think the company directors would see the writing on the wall and just cut their losses and run.

Rather, it seems Speak Asia and its directors are going to see this through to the bitter end, extracting every last dollar they can out of the gullible still signing up to the company.

Well, at least that’s the impression you’d get from Speak Asia’s public response to the account closures. Speak Asia flat out deny the accounts were ever frozen. [Continue reading…]

The Amega Global compensation plan primarily revolves around a binary organisation whilst paying out bonuses on specific levels of the binary.

There are seven commission payouts that can be earnt with the Amega compensation plan and they are each tied into business volume, the recruitment of new Amega Global associates, or both. [Continue reading…]

Hot on the heels of investigation launched by no less than four government regulators, Speak Asia Online have hit back issuing a press release they believe addresses concerns about the company, and have held a legal conference attempting to distance themselves as being a survey company.

Despite these latest reassurances that Speak Asia is legitimate, the last twenty four hours has seen a flurry of activity against the company, with yet another fifth regulator now throwing their hat into the ring instigating action against Speak Asia. [Continue reading…]

Speak Asia Online claims to have recently broken through the two million membership mark. After being in operation in India for over a year now, this success hasn’t gone unnoticed and people are starting to ask questions.

Based in Singapore, the obvious frontrunner is why doesn’t Speak Asia have any member base or public presence there?

Questions like this have largely gone unanswered by the Speak Asia Online team. It wasn’t until a recent expose on the company by Star TV’s ‘Headline Today’ show.

Following the airing of this special investigation into Speak Asia numerous claims by the company have been eye-openly debunked, various Indian authorities have gotten involved, people have been arrested in Bangladesh and Speak Asia itself has been forced to answer its critics.

Is Speak Asia viable in the Indian marketplace or, as they company and it’s supporters claim, is it the victim of a smear campaign and being unfairly targeted? [Continue reading…]
