We Find Ways Review: Recruiting & traffic exchange
The only reference to who is running the We Find Ways MLM business opportunity is the following blurb taken from the company’s website:
We’re an experienced team of professionals that have been working in the pay-to-click industry for a considerable number of years.
The We Find Ways company website domain (‘wefindways.net’) was registered on the 22nd of February 2012, however the domain registration information is set to private.
As always, if a 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…]
Dynamic Impact Review: One24 cloned, no retail
Dynamic Impact was founded in mid 2012 and appears to be based in the US. The company does not provide a corporate address nor disclose where they are operating out of and additionally, Dynamic Impact’s website domain registration is set to private.
Marketing material from Dynamic Impact does include a corporate address, however this is just a virtual office address provided by “Quest Workspaces”:
Despite ambiguity as to where Dynamic Impact are headquartered, the company is upfront on the management side of things with Vincent Cataldi named as company CEO and founder.
I’m not sure whether this is supposed to be some sort of joke or not, but for reasons known only unto themselves, Dynamic Impact have (badly) photoshopped Cataldi’s head onto a suit to use as an official corporate photo of Cataldi:
For starters, unless I’m mistaken that suit is obviously computer generated. A near identical suit appears in a supposed photo of “Ravishankar Raghavan” from Mumbai based Indian legal firm, “Majmudar and Co.”:
Noticeable the Dynamic Impact image is of a much higher resolution, prompting me to believe we might be looking at a stock “suit” photo both Dynamic Impact and CNBC’s Money Control have used.
Meanwhile Cataldi’s head might actually belong to an actual Vince Cataldi, however I was unable to locate a verifiable source. The closest I got was tracking it down to having been ripped from a “Sonico” social network profile (photo right).
Despite Dynamic Impact claiming that Cataldi ‘has now been continually active in (network marketing) for over 20 years’, I wasn’t able to find much. Infact, MLM wise Cataldi’s name only popped up in conjunction with the company One24 (a heavily recruitment orientated opportunity).
Speaking at One24’s “Summer Bash”, Cataldi was named as a “consultant of One24” on the event’s marketing material:
Given this, Cataldi does seem to be a real person however why Dynamic Impact are using photoshopped images to represent him on their website isn’t clear.
As for the rest of the executive staff, Phillip Georgeson (Communications Director) and Conrad Loreto (Medical Director) both also come from One24. I’m not sure whether John Rines (Media Director) or Karilyn Zapata (Customer Care Director) have a history in MLM but if they do, I was unable to find any specifics.

Penny Matrix Review: God & $7/month membership
There is no information on the Penny Matrix website indicating who owns or runs the business.
The company’s website domain (pennymatrix.com) however was registered on the 12th of January 2011 and lists a “Michael Dodd” who is apparently the “MD” (Managing Director?) of something called “Operations Corporation”, which appears to be a division of “World Light LLC”, with World Light LLC seemingly operating out of Tennessee in the US.
Through World Light, Dodd (photo right) appears to have launched a previous venture called “World Light Funding” back in late 2010. World Light Funding was a recruitment driven single line matrix pyramid scheme that is no longer operational.
At the time of publication of this review, the World Light Funding website (worldlightfunding.com) redirects to something called “World Light Plus”, which appears to be a religious centered business opportunity of some sort. The income opportunity section of the World Light Plus Website (under “reseller”) simply requests visitors “check back in two hours!”
How long the World Light Plus website has been displaying this information is not known.
Meanwhile, the “about us” section of the World Light Plus website is somewhat of an amusing read:
World Light Plus, the Company, is a unique for-profit enterprise founded in 2012. World Light Plus (WLP) is completely oriented towards and controlled by its membership, as stated by its slogan, For the Members and By the Members.
The actual history of World Light Plus (WLP) begins with THE VISION of the late Ronald Mashal, who passed away on July 6, 2008. He was generally described as soft-spoken and ‘easy-going’. His closest friends say he was also quite humble, yet inwardly a spiritual giant whose soul could “light up the world”.
One day, a critical medical condition caused him to be rushed to the hospital, where he was officially declared dead. However, in that mysterious place between pure spiritual life and physical death, between God’s heavenly realm and Earth, a VISION was revealed to him.
Ron was then shown the image of a ‘system’ that would create an easier path for not just surviving these conditions but eventually improving the human condition on Earth. He then asked Ron to go back and serve humanity by implementing THE VISION. Ron obeyed.
Like people in biblical times, Ron did not ask for his mission. Yet, it became sacred to his heart, mind and soul, despite the many travails and extreme sorrows he had to suffer.
Friends turned against him; some thought he had been smitten by madness. Fortunately, he had personal savings to sustain him while he devoted the remainder of his life to this mission.
Yet, he watched them slowly dwindle away as banker after banker who used to be his friend turned their backs to him. He especially needed help in designing computer programs that would model THE VISION in each of its aspects.
Yet, pseudo-computer experts who claimed to possess the necessary skills would all, one by one, prove their incompetence.
Still, he persevered as if driven by an equal degree of love for THE VISION’s Author and a heart-felt desire to carry out His will. As if possessed by a new, indefatigable spirit, he gradually overcame every obstacle in constructing THE VISION’S mathematical model on paper.
Ron succeeded! WLP now serves as the access door for an inspired and faithful variation of Ron’s original VISION.
WLP truly believes that its matrix compensation plan contains both its ingenious essence and global reach.
So some guy died, rose from the dead and continued on god’s mission for him… which was supposedly to launch various dodgy looking MLM businesses under the World Light brand?
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Meanwhile back in reality, the YouTube account used to host Penny Matrix’s promotional videos is ‘mikedodd22’, with this same account used to host World Light Funding’s marketing videos back in late 2010.
To tie everything together and cement that “Mike Dodd” is behind World Light Funding and Penny Matrix, here’s a Twitter account tweet that does just that:
A recently deleted LinkedIn profile (Google cache screenshot below is from October 2nd, 2012), also shows Dodd listing himself as the CEO of Penny Matrix, under the username “worldlight”:
Why Dodd is claiming that World Light only launched in 2012 and why the Penny Matrix website does not reveal who the ownership of the scheme is not known.

MoneyPoolist Review: 8 levels of cash gifting

UnlimitedIncomeOrg Review: $10 a month recruitment
There is no information on the UnlimitedIncomeOrg website indicating who owns or runs the business.
The company’s website domain (unlimitedincomeorg.com) was registered on the 22nd of March 2010 and lists a “MTE Enterprises” as the domain registrant, operating out of West Virginia in the US.
Further research reveals that MTE Enterprises is the abbreviated name for “My Traffic Empire Enterprises”, with My Traffic Empire (my-trafficempire.com) being a traffic exchange scheme run by Thomas Walls (CEO, photo right).
Further linking My Traffic Empire with UnlimitedIncomeOrg are a series of dubious MLM opportunities hosted on the company’s private web hosting server.
Freelist-Ads, ShowNFind, 4 Extreme Hits and Traffic Huster are traffic exchange schemes, whilst 2xCycle and Simple2Cycle (launched in late 2011, now defunct) recruitment based pyramid schemes.
“Grebo69” is the personal blog of My Traffic Empire’s “marketing executive”, Paul Brown.
All website domains are registered to MTE Enterprises, which is a strong indication that Thomas Walls is behind UnlimitedIncomeOrg. Given their numerous past business partnerships through MTE Enterprises, Paul Brown is also most likely involved.
Why this is not openly disclosed on the UnlimitedIncomeOrg website however is a mystery. Read on for a full review of the UnlimitedIncomeOrg MLM business opportunity. [Continue reading…]
Highdef Nation Review: AWIS insurance feeder?
Like most of the world, when I think “highdef” I think television screens that are capable of displaying video ‘with more than 480 horizontal lines (North America) or 570 lines (Europe)’ (Wikipedia).
Whether this somehow got lost in translation with the founders of Highdef Nation the MLM business opportunity or whether they’re just trying to be hip with a snazzy name I’m not sure, but I was somewhat disappointed to learn that Highdef Nation has nothing to do with television.
So what is Highdef Nation all about then? Read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]
SuperProfitShare Review: $10 ad based Ponzi scheme

MyVideoTalk Review: Affiliate based video services
MyVideoTalk appears to be based out of California in the US and is a division of “Team Effort International”, which was launched in October 2002 by MyVideoTalk founders Mel and Amie Gill (photo right).
According to their corporate bios, the Gills
entered the Direct Selling Industry in 1989 experiencing huge success with stellar business growth in Australia, Thailand, Japan, and Canada.
There’s little to no information about the specifics of Mel and Amie Gill’s involvement in MLM prior to 2002, however I did see Amie Gill’s name pop up on a Herbalife flyer as a “top sponsor” (recruiter) for January 2000, so it’s a possibility that Herbalife was the company the Gill’s were involved in prior to launching Team Effort International.
As to how long MyVideoTalk has been around for, there seems to be a bit of confusion surrounding this. I’ve commonly seen MyVideoTalk affiliates substitute MyVideoTalk for Team Effort International and claim the company launched in 2002,
MyVideoTalk was founded in 2002 by an enterprise called Team Effort International.
however this doesn’t appear to be the case.
The earliest references I’ve seen of MyVideoTalk date back to 2004 (although marketing didn’t seem to really kick off until 2005), so this appears to be the year MyVideoTalk was branded and launched as a standalone MLM opportunity.
The company itself states the following on their official website:
Based in Northern California, just outside of the San Francisco Bay Area, MyVideoTalk is a thriving division founded in April 2004 .
To throw some confusion on the matter though, there’s then a series of “prelaunch” and “soft launch” talk that starts in early to mid 2010, indicating that the company might have relaunched itself around that time.
None of this is clarified or explained on the MyVideoTalk website however so I’m not 100% sure on the specifics other than the information provided above. Thus I’m not sure if the MyVideoTalk MLM business opportunity available today is the same as that launched back in 2004 or whether or not the company has significantly changed over time.
If I do get clarification on the matter at a later date I’ll update the above information accordingly. In any case, read on for a full review of the MyVideoTalk MLM business opportunity as it stands today in late 2012. [Continue reading…]
