What happened to Elken Global?


A couple of weeks again a reader wrote in requesting an Elken International evaluation.

The corporate got here up for evaluation at the moment. As I started to analysis Elken International, it quickly grew to become obvious that one thing was up.

What began as a conventional BehindMLM evaluation is thus now a query concerning the standing of the corporate. Right here’s what I discovered.

Elken International was based in 1995 and relies out of Malayisa.  The corporate operates within the private care, healthcare and residential home equipment MLM niches.

Along with Malaysia, Elken International claims to be energetic in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei and Singapore.

For causes unknown, Elken International don’t present possession or govt administration data on their web site.

This leaves Elken International coming off as a faceless company, which isn’t a very good search for an MLM firm.

A Google search reveals Elken International was based by AK Tan:

This data was accessible on Elken International’s web site up till just lately. Now it solely exists in Google’s cache.

Tan (proper) has since been scrubbed from Elken International’s web site. Whether or not or not he’s nonetheless Elken International’s Chairman is unclear.

Additional analysis reveals Elken International was merged with ByDzyne late final yr.

This prompted the launch of the area “elkenbydzyne.com”, which as on the time of publication seems to have since been deserted.

The ElkenbyDzyne area was bought in June 2019. Tsu Lin Tan (AK Tan?) is listed because the proprietor, by way of an deal with in Malaysia.

Surprisingly sufficient there doesn’t look like any on-line dialogue explaining what the present standing of Elken International is.

As I write this Elken International’s and ByDzyne’s respective particular person firm web sites are each energetic.

If AK Tan offered what was left of Elken International’s affiliate-base to ByDzyne, why maintain Elken International’s web sites up?

Conversely, if the corporate’s merged why have two energetic however individually branded web sites.

And why has AK Tan been scrubbed and what occurred to “elkenbydzyne.com”? Did the merger collapse?

Because it stands I do have a replica of Elken International’s compensation plan, regardless of not offering it on their web site. I used to be going to go forward with a evaluation however I wasn’t capable of confirm if Elken International is presently operational.

Any additional data can be appreciated within the feedback beneath, failing which that’s the place I’m leaving it with respect to an Elken International evaluation.

ByDzyne has already been reviewed right here on BehindMLM. We weren’t impressed with their overpriced smartwatch.
