Given the present international scenario, a few of you in all probability noticed this coming a mile away:
A reader despatched in a latest livestream by Candace Byrd Davis. In it she’s selling “Gasoline Issue X”.
None of that is actually newsworthy by itself, however then a particular pitch from Davis caught my consideration.
Gasoline Issue X will not be … going to be the identical factor that you just discover in Superior Auto. It’s not going to be the identical factor that you just discover in AutoZone.
Right here’s why: This explicit product right here has a chemistry that’s backed by a Nobel Prize that was received again in 1973.
So the chemistry of this product is unique to our firm … it’s unique to us.
Wait a minute… I’ve heard this pitch earlier than.
I punched “gasoline saver nobel” into Google and certain sufficient Syntek International got here up.
Right here’s the very same “Nobel Prize from 1973” advertising and marketing pitch:
Syntek International launched in 2007 with its flagship “Xtreme Gasoline Remedy”. The branding is completely different however the bottle is remarkably much like My Day by day Alternative’s Gasoline Issue X bottle.
However grasp on, if Candace Davis’ is to be taken at face worth, Gasoline Issue X is unique to My Day by day Alternative.
Cool. So what occurred to Syntek International then?
A few week in the past Syntek International’s public and distributor backoffice web sites have been pulled. They’ve been down and stay down at time of publication.
I went searching for an official company announcement however couldn’t discover one. Which is unusual.
What tipped the scales of likelihood for me was, previous to launching My Day by day Alternative, Josh Zwagil was a Syntek International distributor.
BehindMLM famous this in our 2015 My Day by day Alternative evaluate.
What’s essential to level out right here is that Syntek International operated as a pyramid scheme. Within the firm’s personal phrases;
Sponsoring new distributors and serving to them do the identical is essential to constructing quantity in your group.
Whereas they could have risen drastically not too long ago, it’s not like fuel costs have gotten any cheaper since I reviewed Syntek International in 2011.
So why didn’t Xtreme Gasoline Remedy ever take off exterior of the recruitment-driven MLM alternative? How arduous can or not it’s to promote gasoline financial savings???
And therein lies the rub.
Within the absence of an official company announcement, right here’s as shut as I used to be in a position to unofficially affirm My Day by day Alternative has acquired Syntek International;
A FaceBook account bearing the identify “Xtreme Gasoline Remedy USA – Syntek International”, launched Gasoline Issue X as “the brand new XFT” on March twenty seventh.
For those who go to the area within the publish, you’re redirected to a My Day by day Alternative “Impartial Affiliate” web site:
I’ll go away it there, save to say the regulatory surroundings has advanced since Syntek International’s heyday.
My Day by day Alternative is predicated out of the US. Given the present fuel market I’m sure that is an space the FTC is anticipating shenanigans in.
This may very well be an issue is Gasoline Issue X demonstrably falls wanting its advertising and marketing claims.
Earlier at this time MyDailyChoice introduced “MDC 2.0”:
Seeing as I haven’t revisited the corporate since 2015, I’ve queued MyDailyChoice up for a evaluate replace. I’ll go away an replace on the end result beneath when it comes up.
