IDentityUSA operates in the personal data protection MLM niche.

The company provides a suite address in Texas on its website, which appears to belong to USA+.

An official brochure provided on IdentityUSA’s website states the company is “presented by USA+”

In the footer of IDentityUSA’s website the following information is provided;

United Service Association For Health Care (USA+) is a non-profit corporation chartered in Washington, D.C., in 1983.

The organization was formed to promote the adoption of equitable health care policy in the United States, engage in nonpartisan research, study and analysis for the benefit of the general public regarding the health care system of the United States and on occasion; publish the results of our research.

USA+ has its own website, on which it markets access to healthcare.

USA+ is NOT an insurance company. USA+ identifies the needs of its members and finds the nation’s top providers of products and services to satisfy those needs.

Through the size of its national membership, USA+ leverages its contracts with providers to negotiate benefits for its members.

As far as I can tell, USA+ isn’t an MLM company. IdentityUSA is a division of USA+ and runs as a standalone MLM opportunity.

IDentityUSA cites Belinda Caylor as company President. No information about Caylor (right) is provided.

On Facebook Caylor goes by Belinda Booth-Caylor. On LinkedIn Caylor also cites herself as President of National Health Corporation.

As per her profile, Caylor’s earliest involvement in National Health Corporation dates back to 1987 as an accountant.

Affiliates marketing IDentityUSA cite Paul Wood as the owner of National Health Corporation.

Paul Wood and Belinda Caylor Team Up to open a New Subsidiary IDentityUSA For Top Identity Theft Protection #IDentityUSA.

Paul Wood is a highly successful entrepreneur in the USA. He founded National Health Corporation (NHC) in 1966. He pioneered the high deductible insurance policy for the self-employed.

In 1999 Paul Wood reached a major milestone when the combined assets of his companies surpassed the $1 billion mark.

Belinda Caylor is the President of IDentityUSA and has been working with Paul Wood for 33 years.

Today National Health Corp markets itself as “TeamCorp”. TeamCorp’s website references IdentityUSA and claims it is a “marketing agency for USA+”.

There is an “Agent Opportunities” section on TeamCorp’s website, but no specific compensation information provided.

IdentityUSA, USA+ and TeamCorp all share the same Texas suite address.

From this IDentityUSA sounds like a joint-venture between Caylor and Wood. Given none of this is disclosed on IDentityUSA’s website however, I can’t say for sure.

It certainly wouldn’t be the first company Caylor and Wood have launched together:

Bitwings provides no information on its website about who runs the company.

Bitwings markets itself as a division of Wings Mobile,

a Spanish virtual mobile operator founded in 2007, focused on the development of innovative software, smartphones and laptops.

Bitwings is mentioned on Wings Mobile’s website, however it’s not featured on the company’s homepage. Why Wings Mobile has tucked away Bitwings is unclear.

Of note is Wings Mobile having its own affiliate program, but as far as I can tell it’s not MLM.

Wings Mobile’s website does have a “who we are” section, however no company ownership details are provided.

Update 5th December 2023 – Turns out Wings Mobile is an MLM opportunity. BehindMLM has published a standalone Wings Mobile review. /end update

A few Google searches led me to Antonio Milio (right), who is CEO of both Wings Mobile and Bitwings.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Milio is based out of Spain and has a history in telecommunications dating back to 1998.

Bitwings appears to be Milio’s first venture as an MLM executive.

ClearUnited is part of Clear, a company that aims to “decentralize your digital life”.

Clear has been aggregating and developing technologies around personal data ownership and security for nearly 20 years.

There are a staggering fourty-five “key partners & leadership” personnel presented on Clear’s website.

“Founder & Vision(ary?)”, Michael Proper, is buried about halfway down the list.

As per Proper’s Clear executive bio;

Over the past 21 years, Michael has helped start and grow numerous companies in the IT industry and helped to create what is now known as the Managed Services Provider (MSP) sector.

Prior to starting ClearCenter he started DirectPointe (an IT service company) & DPFS (an IT financing company) he also helped launch and establish Calculated Research & Technology and Veritas Solutions (both IT solution companies).

As far as I can tell, Proper has no prior MLM executive experience.

Clear is incorporated in New Zealand but appears to be operated out of Utah in the US.

ClubShop provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

On its website, ClubShop claims it was ‘formed and incorporated in Englewood, Florida, USA in June of 1997.’

This conflicts with information provided in the footer of ClubShop’s website;

Copyright © 2018-2021 – Clubshop Rewards Program by Proprofit Worldwide Ltd.

Proprofit Worldwide Ltd. – 98 Chingford Mount Road – E4 9AA – London, UK | Company Number: 8525700

Through the WayBack Machine archive I learned that prior to ClubShop, the company went by Discount Home Shoppers Club.

This dates back to the late 90s. An address in Englewood is provided, however without company ownership information it’s impossible to establish whether ClubShop today is owned by the same individual(s) as the older iterations.

ClubShop’s website domain (“clubshop.com”) was first registered in June 1997. The domain registration was last updated on June 19th, 2020.

Update 25th January 2025 – ClubShop has a second domain “clubshopoutlet.com”, privately registered in June 2018. /end update

Proprofit Worldwide is listed as the owner, through an address in London, UK. This syncs with the UK incorporation details referenced above.

UK incorporation is dirt cheap and effectively unregulated. It is a favored jurisdiction for scammers looking to incorporate dodgy companies.

For the purpose of performing MLM due-diligence, UK incorporation is meaningless.

A search for ClubShop’s CEO returned an ancient 2006 press-release naming Dick Burke.

This led me to Richard Burke (right), who cites himself as ClubShop’s President on LinkedIn.

As per Burke’s LinkedIn profile he’s based out of Englewood, Florda.

While researching ClubShop I came across a page on their website titled “Meet the CEO”:

As above the CEO wasn’t named. He does however feature in other ClubShop blog posts and is named Fabrizio Perotti.

On LinkedIn Perotti (right) cites himself as a Director of Proprofit Worldwide.

That led to Discount Home Shopper’s Club’s Wikipedia entry, which states;

In 2018 the Clubshop brand was acquired by Proprofit Worldwide Ltd.

Proprofit is a marketing company founded in 2013 by Fabrizio Perotti and Giuseppe Francavilla, the Clubshop Executive Directors who successfully developed the DHS-Club and Clubshop brands in Italy from 2001 to 2012.

Prior to purchasing ClubShop Perotti was promoting Ad2Prosper, an adcredit pyramid scheme.

A February 2019 ClubShop blog post mentions a ‘new Clubshop platform only a few days ago’. This is presumed to be the current ClubShop MLM opportunity iteration.

To summarize; ClubShop is run by former affiliates Fabrizio Perotti and Giuseppe Francavilla (right).

Perotti is from Italy but now resides in Portugal. Francavilla still resides in Italy.

ProProfit Worldwide is a UK shell company and, unless I’m missing something, ClubShop currently has no ties to the US.
