Travelada Review: Travel discounts, recruitment & securities fraud
Travelada provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.
Instead, the company purposefully dodges providing what should be basic due-diligence information;
Now it’s not really about who we are, is it? In reality, Travelada is really all about you.
The Travelada website domain (“travelada.com”) was first registered back in 2011. The domain registration was last updated on April 18th, 2018.
Unfortunately the Travelada domain registration is private and provides no ownership information.
A corporate address on the Travelada website is actually that of K&E Travel.
K&E Travel are based out of Florida and run their own “Independent Travel Agent” opportunity.
It would seem that whoever is behind Travelada has signed up as a K&E travel agent and repacked the service as Travelada.
Update 28th December 2018 – It appears a lot of information has been deleted from the Travelada website over the past few months.
Archives reveal that prior to deletion, Travelada cited Mark Elie as its President:
As per Elie’s Travelada corporate bio;
As President of Travelada Mark has the work ethic and knowledge to take the company to a level of success like no other.
Mark’s vision is far-reaching. He believes Travelada will exceed everyons’e expectations except his.
Mark will be integral in helping Travelada grow and making sure that we have the best we can offer in the travel industry.
Despite Elie heading up Travelada, in a comment left under this review he claims he is ‘not involved in Travelada in any way.‘
We’ve brought the inconsistency between Elie’s non-involvement claim and the facts to his attention in the comments below. We await his reply. /end update

Maktub Emirates Review: 200% ROI Ponzi scheme
Maktub Emirates provides no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.
The Maktub Emirates website domain registration doesn’t provide any further information (the domain is registered to the company itself).
At the time of publication Alexa cite Brazil (51%) and Spain (18%) as the primary sources of traffic to the Maktub Emirates website.
It is highly likely that whoever is running Maktub Emirates has ties to one or both of these countries.
As always, if an 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…]

Solmax Global Review: Equity Token unregistered securities scheme
Solmax Global provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
The Solmax Global website domain (“solmaxglobal.com”) was privately registered on October 4th, 2017.
At the time of publication Alexa cites Pakistan as the primary source of traffic to the Solmax Global website (49%).
This suggests that whoever is running Solmax Global is likely based out of Pakistan.
Based on Solmax Global marketing material, another possibility is someone residing in the UK with strong links to Pakistan.
As always, if an 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…]
