Do You Bake? Review: Food base mixes

do-you-bake-logoI’m not really sure why, but the “our company” section of the Do You Bake? website has information about “Crave It”.

Crave it launched in 2015 and is apparently a “sister company” of Do You Bake?.

Launched just in 2015 A new Sister Brand to Do You Bake? , endorsed by the pros & available only through our network of Ambassadors. Shop for Crave It products and Do You Bake? products in one place!

Other than a “love of food” and identification of “Jenn” as co-founder of Do You Bake?, there’s not any specific information about the company up.

The Do You Bake? website domain was privately registered in February 2010, with Do You Bake? launching a few months later.

jenn-williams-cofounder-owner-do-you-bake“Jenn” is Jenn Williams (right), who lists herself as “owner” of Do You Bake? on her LinkedIn profile.

I couldn’t find any information on Do You Bake?’s other co-founder(s), ditto anything MLM specific pertaining to Williams.

What she did before Do You Bake? (MLM or otherwise) is a mystery.

Ignatova laundering OneCoin funds through mother

onecoin-logoFollowing a decision by Finnish authorities to “monitor” OneCoin’s scamming of victims, as opposed to doing their jobs, Finnish media have recently been reporting on the Ponzi scheme.

Much of what we already knew was covered in a recent Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yle) article, however specifics about OneCoin’s laundering of funds was news to us. [Continue reading…]


Anovite Review: Colostrum (bovine pre-milk fluid)

anovite-logoThere is no information on the Anovite website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Anovite website domain (“anovite.com”) was registered on the 9th of December 2014, however the domain registration is set to private.

Of additional note is that the social media accounts provided on the Anovite website (Facebook, Twitter and YouTube), have been deleted and/or abandoned.

anthony-kleinsmith-owner-anoviteFurther research reveals Anthony Kleinsmith credited as the owner of “Anovite Inc.”.

Kleinsmith does feature on the Anovite website, but he is only credited as the “researcher” behind their products. I couldn’t find any formal recognition of him owning the company.

Kleinsmith’s LinkedIn profile reveals he is the “CEO/Founder/Formulator at Immune Tree, Inc.” Immune Tree Inc. have been around since 1993 and are presumed to be behind Anovite’s product line.

Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith is considered one of the world’s leading authorities on colostrum.

Test after test from institutions like Cornell University, laboratories like MVTL and the Delta Wellness Research Laboratory have confirmed Immune Tree’s superior quality of colostrum.

As best I can work out, Kleinsmith has been marketing products through Immune Tree Inc. for over 20 years. Anovite appears to be a recently launched distribution channel for the products.

Other than Anovite, Kleinsmith doesn’t appear to have any MLM experience.

Brend2 Review: 1% a day BTC-based Ponzi scheme

brend2-logoThere is no information on the Brend2 website indicating who owns or runs the business.

Instead, the company only serves up the following vague description of itself:

Brend2 is a networking community that (is) established on the basis of mutual donation between members.

The Brend2 website domain was registered on February 2nd 2016, however the domain registration is set to private.

Of note is that at the time of publication, Alexa estimate that some 76.4% of visitors to the Brend2 website originate out of India.

This strongly suggests that whoever is running Brend2 is also based out of India.

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…]

EVO Media Group Review: JetStream dev launches reboot

evo-media-group-logoEVO Media Group’s co-founders claim they ‘spent over 30 years, searching for the best product and opportunity for the entrepreneur‘.

Two EVO Media Group co-founders are listed on the company website; Michael Hagen (CEO) and Jack Amoroso Jr. (Secretary).

As per Hagen’s EVO Media Group corporate bio:

Mike sets the company vision and leadership direction for Evo Media Group. His prosperous 26+ year career includes direct sales/network marketing experience starting back with a 15 year run with Amway.

mike-hagen-jetstream-developerPerusal of Hagen’s Facebook page reveals mid last year his company, Hagen Media Group, were the “developers of the JetStream”.

June 3rd, 2016

Well the time has come. I will be launching my Network Marketing  Company in 17 days.

After a 26 year career as a Distributor and retiring for a while the time has come to be at the helm.

I will keep a few posted on this. We have been quietly behind the seems for the past 4 months putting this together. We are less than 3 weeks from a great Pre-Launch.

It’s Time… To Help 100s of 1000s now.

MIKE HAGEN
Chairman
Hagen Media Group, INC.
Developers of The JetStream

JetStream Direct is a streambox MLM opportunity. The company markets $399 streamboxes, which are primarily marketed as gateways to pirated content over the internet.

Whether Hagen had a relationship beyond Hagen Media Group’s “development” of JetStream Direct is unclear. Today the Hagen Media Group website domain redirects to that of EVO Media Group.

JetStream Direct still appear to be in business, at least as far as having an operational website. Alexa traffic estimates for the JetStream Direct website are so low the company is unranked.

As far as I can tell, EVO Media Group appears to be a relaunch of JetStream Direct.

Classifieds That Pay Review: Paid affiliate chain-recruitment

classifieds-that-pay-logoThere is no information on the Classifieds That Pay website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Classifieds That Pay website domain (“classifiedsthatpay.com”) was registered on the 28th of October 2015, however the domain registration is set to private.

Further research reveals Graham Frame conducting beta launch webinars for Classifieds That Pay on YouTube.

graham-frame-empower-network-affiliateFrame (right) claims to have been involved in MLM since the 1980s. He states he “retired” his offline businesses in 2013 and now focuses exclusively on online business ventures.

Frame first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as the admin of Simple Fast Cash. Launched in 2013, Simple Fast Cash saw affiliates pay $5 and get paid when they recruited others who did the same.

Simple Fast Cash affiliates were also funneled into Frame’s Empower Network downline.

Prior to Simple Fast Cash Frame was an affiliate with Pure Leverage. Other opportunities launched by Frame include YourCashCow (2006) and Cash4Sure.

YourCashCow was a matrix-based recruitment scheme that collapsed in 2008. Cash4Sure was launched around 2008, with affiliates promised ROIs on invested funds.

Those ROIs were never paid out and the scheme also collapsed.

Marketing videos on Frame’s YouTube channel suggest he was also an investor in Achieve Community.

Achieve Community was a $6.8 million dollar Ponzi scheme. The SEC shut the scheme down in early 2015.

In a video titled “Its Happening – Beta Launch”, Frame explains he came up with the idea for Classifieds That Pay after having a “strange dream” in 2014.

Frame claims he initially didn’t understand the dream, and that it was only after meditating for “many days, many hours” that he began to figure it out.

Gradually it was revealed to me that I should set out to create an opportunity that would initially

-directly help 5,000,000 people to improve their lives

-and so create an income that would allow donations of $2,000,000 a month to charity; especially to help starving children.
