Nexus Rewards is a continuation of NXR Global.

You can verify this by attempting to visit NXR Global’s old website at “nxrglobal.com”. At time of publication the domain redirects to Nexus Rewards.

Nexus Rewards and NXR Global are tied to David and Bob Bremner (right), who together with other family members have been behind a number of MLM companies over the past few years.

BehindMLM started tracking the Bremner’s MLM escapades with vStreamTV in 2015. vStreamTV was eventually rebooted as IXQ TV.

Both vStreamTV and IXQ TV sold pirated streaming content, leading to the MPA shutting down IXQ TV in late 2019.

That led us to Lifestyle Connections’ launch on or around early 2020. Lifestyle Connections was a short-lived savings subscription opportunity.

Another Bremner family company launch was Pyur Global in 2016. Pyur Global marketed a range of nutritional supplements and an “iHeart Device”.

Of note was the Bremners capitalizing on victims of the Noble 8 Revolution Ponzi, most of whom were elderly, by overseeing efforts to funnel them into Pyur Global.

In April 2019 Pyur Global was rebooted as Pyur Life. Pyur Life’s website is still up but SimilarWeb tracks negligible traffic.

BehindMLM first came across NXR Global in Lifestyle Connections marketing material. Lifestyle Connections represented it was “powered by NXR Global”.

NXR Global was somewhat of a parent company for the Bremner’s various MLM launched over the years.

NXR Global’s website DNS was last updated on November 2nd, 2021. Nexus Rewards’ operates from the domain “mynexusrewards.com”, privately registered on January 4th, 2022.

The Bremners operate their various MLM ventures through Nutronix Revolution, incorporated in Mechanicsville, Virginia.

Rather than just admit ownership of Nexus Rewards, the Bremners are representing Art and Rob Phelps are co-founders of the company.

The Phelps have been involved with the Bremners’ MLM opportunities dating back to the original Nutronix International (~2008, possibly late 2007).

ViaVeta was founded in 2019 and operates in the personal care MLM niche.

ViaVeta provides a corporate address in the Netherlands on its website. Heading up the company however is founder and CEO Hedi Khezrzadeh, who as far as I can tell is based out of Turkey.

Beyond being incorporated as Viaveta Netherlands B.V, I’m not sure what ViaVeta’s connection to the Netherlands is.

Khezrzadeh (right) made a name for himself in the MLM industry as a top earner in Mega Holdings.

Mega Holdings was a pyramid scheme, built around selling overpriced web services. Mega Holdings collapsed in early 2018.

ViaVeta’s primary website domain, “viaveta.eu”, was registered in July 2018. The company’s official FaceBook page was created in September 2018, suggesting this was on or around its launch.
