A Registration. From the automatic cancellation of the registration of Universal Research LLC in the Location of Virginia on 31 December 2007, to its clandestine and surreptitious resurrection under the name of Universal Research Inc.; the web is incessantly spun and woven into an intricate tapestry of lies through its propaganda machinery.
The Registrar for Companies for England and Wales approved the incorporation of Universal Research Inc. Ltd. on 17 December 2007 as a private limited company under Company No. 6455332. The company papers were filed electronically by an agent, @UKPLC Client Director Ltd. (similar to EASTBIZ.COM Inc. electronic filing) located at 5 Jupiter House Calleva Park Aldermaston Reading Berkshire UK RG7 8NN as appearing on the registration papers submitted before the Companies House. (The hard copy is in my possession. See more evidence posted at the blog).
Initially, Universal Research Inc. Ltd. had its registered address at 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Herts, UK WD6 1EN and its company secretary, Phyllis Miller (of the same address). The Memorandum of Association of Universal Research Inc. Ltd. states that it is “to carry on the business of a general commercial company” (#3a, page 3 of the Certificate of Incorporation) with Yuriy Mizyuk, a Ukrainian national as Director 1 (no other directors/sole director) with residential address at Limassol Star Block F2 No. 11 1 Megalou Alexandrou Pyrgos Lemesou Cyprus 4534 (page 2 of the Certificate of Incorporation). There is only one subscriber, Mr. Yuriy Mizyuk, having subscribed 100 shares (page 5 of the Certificate of Incorporation). “The share capital of the Company is £100 divided into 100 Ordinary £1 Shares of £1 each” (#3, page 6 of the Certificate of Incorporation). Thus, if he subscribed to 100 shares at £1 per allotment then his subscription is equivalent to $144.29 (foreign exchange rate as of 21 March 2009).
According to the Web Check Service of the Companies House, the company details are as follows, to wit: “Status: Active; Date of Incorporation: 17/12/2007; Country of Origin: United Kingdom; Company Type: Private Little Company; Nature of Business (SIC(03)): None Supplied; Accounting Reference Date: 31/12; Last Accounts Made Up To: (NO ACCOUNTS FILED); Next Accounts Due: 17/10/2009; Last Return Made Up To:___; Next Return Due: 14/01/2009 OVERDUE; Previous Names: No previous name information has been recorded over the last 20 years.; Branch details: There are no branches associated with this company; Overseas Company Info: There are no overseas details associated with this company” (UK Companies House).The aforecited data was amended/updated about a week ago, as follows: Last Accounts Made up to 17/12/2008 with a note that said document/information is not yet available for inspection (as of 13 April 2009) with a List of Members submitted 17/12/08. Moreover, additional information was provided for the nature of business “9305 – Other service activities”1
When the Annual Return was made available, I inspected the electronic copy thereof and discovered that this was only filed on 10 April 2009. No new information was stated therein. It reiterated the 100 shares held by Yuriy Mizyuk (Ukrainian) for GBP100 as director. A Current Appointments Report was created on 17 April 2009 and which shows the appointment of Jacqueline Houguez-Simmons as Secretary including her birthdate, her nationality and the number of appointments she currently has. Mizyuk is mentioned as a director and indicating thereon his birthdate. I have hard copies of these reports in my possession.
The Filing History of the company based on the Companies House website shows the following, to wit: that after its submission of Memorandum of Association, Declaration of Compliance, Statement of Directors & Registered Office and its incorporation on 17 December 2007, Phyllis Miller resigned as secretary on 19 March 2008; on 20 March 2008 a change of office from 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood to Ivy House 35 High Street Bushey Herts WD23 1BD UK; on 10 November 2008 the appointment of Secretary Jacqueline Houguez-Simmons and finally on 27 February 2009 the change of office to 71 On the Hill Watford Herts WD19 5DS, UK.
B. Registered Address. Companies Act 2006 (UK) requires that “a company must have a registered address at all times where communications may be received (Section 86, Part 6, ch 46 Companies Act 2006). It is in this registered office that the company must keep its register, index and other documents making it available for inspection” (Sub section 3a of Section 86, Part 6, ch 46 Companies Act 2006). Any change in registered address must be reported to the Registrar and the “company may only act on the change not more than 14 days from the date of such notice” (Sub section 3b of Section 86, Section 6, ch 46 Companies Act 2006).What then is a registered office address? It is an effective address where official communications are to be sent by officials from the Companies House and the Inland Revenue.“The registered office address can not be a PO Box, it must be an address where legal papers can be served. The company’s name should also be displayed outside of the premises.” Thus, clearly a virtual office may be allowed if the same is not the registered office address and provided that there is an approved registered ACTUAL office.
Now let us find out if the websites which are allegedly ‘under’ Universal Research Inc. Itsy-bitsy are compliant with these legal requirements. For instance BestEssays.co.uk where the domain registrant is Yuriy Mizyuk of 11654 Plaza America Dr Reston VA 20190 US having registered it on 5 February 2008 (verified from whois.com domain dossier) or more than a month from the time Virginia State of Corporation Commission canceled the registration of Universal Research LLC. Mizyuk finds it useful to preserve on using the LLC is registering domains notwithstanding the fact tha the LLC registration had long been cancelled. The website claims that the “company was founded in 1998″ as shown on its ‘About us’ page but registration of the domain was only in 2008. THIS is something that is usual with the Mizyuk web. For instance, Uniwork, Inc./writers dot ph claims that they have been a reputable research company for TEN years when in fact, the company registration papers show that the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission current its incorporation only in August 2007. There may be language barrier but for math? I mediate, ten is always 10 or one is always 1 in any language! The only entity name appearing on the website is–’BestEssays.Co.UK’ which is NOT registered at all before the UK Registrar or the Companies House (or in Virginia, U.S.).
The website shows on its ‘Contacts Page’ a postal address at Unit 2, 15-17 Caledonian Road, P.O. Box 168 London N1 9DX, UK. This address is actually IPB Interpostbox in London. Numerous inquiries were made in January 2009 about P.O.Box 168 from Kings Cross Interpostbox and consistent replies were received to the effect that Box 168 is still unoccupied and there is no listing for Yuriy Mizyuk Universal Research Inc. Ltd, Universal Research LLC or BestEssays.co.uk (See FIGURE 1).
Be that as it may, BestEssays.co.uk is NOT a registered company and it is NOT operating and conducting its business at the given address. The post box is not even leased to them—it is unoccupied (as of end January 2009) but the website has been up on the World Wide Web for quite sometime already. What a lie Yuriy!
Simply stated, BestEssays.co.uk is not authorized to do business in UK. It is an unregistered entity which definitely is not paying taxes and since it claims having been founded in 1998, I am calling on Inland Revenue. The unregistered entity must be made to pay taxes cumulatively with fines and penalties since 1998, after all this is what they have been claiming.
Another website is Killer-content.com. Based on its ‘Contacts’ page, it is under Universal Research Inc. Ltd with the UK address as registered with the Companies House 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Hertfordshire, UK WD6 1EN) and a US address 4114 Hamlin Avenue, Chantilly Va20151 USA. FIGURE 2 shows a web screen shot of the ‘contacts’ page of Killer-content.com taken in November 2008 indicating that it is under Universal Research Inc. Ltd. (UK). Verification from the internet archives or intention support machine an image of the website on 19 December 2007 (before the fateful cancellation of registration) or FIGURE 3. As you can clearly see, the corporate address is specified as “Universal Research LLC 11654 Plaza America Dr Reston Va 20191.” Bingo! Mizyuk and his cohorts amended the website killer-content.com under Universal Research LLC after cancellation of registration by the Residence of Virginia. This is proof that there was no conversion, no liquidation and no winding up of the LLC—there was merely a modification of the ‘contacts’ page of the website. Sometimes a spider can be caught by the very own web he had spun.
Universal Research LLC is also Universal Research Inc Ltd., a company whose incorporation was sought by Yuriy Mizyuk and with him as the sole director for a little over $140.
There are several documented proofs. Allow me to slip in just one more: An EMarketing listing was launched sometime on 26 January 2008 based on its creation as stated in its domain dossier. It advertised and listed killer-content as under “Universal Research LLC, Headquarters: 19 Cardinal Avenue WD6 1EN Borehamwood Hertfordshire, Outside the US, UK; Phone: 44 207-183-0318; killer-content.com.”This was definitely advertised (after emarketing firms.com was created on 26 January 2008 per domain dossier) after the cancelation of the registration of Universal Research LLC (31 December 2007) and after the time when Universal Research Inc. Ltd. had its incorporation approved by the Companies House on 17 December 2007, YET why is it that it caused the advertisement to reflect killer-content.com as under Universal Research LLC but with the UK address, when in fact Universal Research LLC was never registered or incorporated in UK. Universal Research LLC had a Plaza America address registered in Virginia, U.S. and at the time of such advertisement, the registration of the LLC had already been canceled. Why not use Universal Research Inc. Ltd with the registered UK address as approved by the Companies House? This is proof to my previous discussion in my third article that Yuriy Mizyuk and his cohorts continued using Universal Research LLC on all of its websites after sometime notwithstanding its (LLC’s) cancellation by the Region of Virginia. It further proves that websites like killer-content.com continued to conduct its operations on a ‘business as usual’ despite the fact that it should have been one of those assets liquidated during winding up. This is also proof of how interchangeable names of companies, websites, IP addresses, telephone numbers, registered office addresses are made because Mizyuk and his cohorts are not physically present–are not actually conducting their business operations in the registered offices in US or in the UK. They are merely operating on the World Wide Web (online) and the registrations of companies and specified addresses would go only as far as the ‘face-value’ of the websites’ Contacts Page. Why was killer-content.com (and the other websites) not liquidated as asset/s during the supposed winding up after the cancelation of registration of Universal Research LLC? Answer: There was no winding up and liquidation made. Killer-content and all the other websites were/are NEVER mentioned in the previous LLC documents and in the note corporations documents (Universal Research Inc in the US; Universal Research Inc. Ltd in UK and Uniwork, Inc. in the Philippines). When the respective corporations were incorporated in the different countries; there was no mention that they are overseas branches. The ONLY link of the websites with the corporations is the respective Contacts Pages. These Contacts Pages can easily be MODIFIED as was done previously after the LLC’s cancelation in December 2007 without leaving behind any immediate visible evidence of the modification. Internet archives or way aid machine can be blocked by placing a robots.txt file. This does not mean that there can be no digital forensic evidence that can be retrieved and secured to prove the modifications.1
Clearly, the corporate registrations were mere expedients and only sought for ‘optical illusion’ or for ‘show’ in order to attract the American ‘market’ (in the case of US registration) in patronizing the services and anent registration before the Companies House, to attract the UK ‘market. Registration gives it a semblance of legality and regulation. Most importantly, it was purposely set up in this manner for ease, convenience and facility to protect the websites from the reach of creditors or persons to whom Mizyuk and his cohorts may be liable whilst giving all of them the semblance of being operated and managed under registered company/companies in the US and the UK to attract the market. The entire set-up makes it convenient in the case of simulated transfer to abscond from the creditors and especially in cases of avoidance and evasion from criminal liabilities. Mizyuk establishes ‘links’ between corporations to the numerous websites for commercial purposes to attract market but can conveniently destroy said ‘links’ to erase and delete the tracks leading to him in case of liability. You see, it is easier to establish and conduct operations of a legitimate business than status it all up in the manner Mizyuk did it. It makes one wonder why someone go through great lengths to spin an intricate web if from the inception, he only intends to honestly profit from his business.
It was quite a clever plan because if one checks one of the websites, for instance SuperiorPapers.com contacts page—the address for the company, Universal Research Inc. specifies a different address–(mailbox) address of12020 Sunrise Valley Drive Suite 100 Reston, Virginia 20191. It did not specify the registered address (4114 Hamlin Avenue, Chantilly Va) as appearing on the database of the State of Virginia Corporation Commission. Who would find out? Well, I did! Now, the question is: Is (Va-US) Universal Research Inc the same as (UK) Universal Research Inc. Ltd.? YES, it is. PROOF: There are several proofs in fact. Besides being run and operated by Yuriy Mizyuk and his cohorts, verification of the domain dossiers of websites would converse commonalities all leading to Yuriy Mizyuk; the UK phone number specified on the websites, i.e. SuperiorPapers, BestEssays,com, Bestessays.co.uk, RushEssay, BestTermPapers, ResumesPlanet, etc. under Universal Research Inc. 2 ++44 207-183-0318 is the very SAME phone number for Universal Research Inc. Ltd.’s Killer-content.com. So why are almost all of the websites under (Va-US) Universal Research Inc. bearing the same UK phone number of (UK) Universal Research Inc. Ltd.? Moreover, one of the websites—WiseTranslations’ US phone number is the very same phone number for US of Killer-content.com–703-621-7264. Based on the Contacts page of WiseTranslations, its corporate address is located at 1800 N. Kent Street #B1 Arlington, Virginia 22209 (which is an Engineering Office of Plaza East Building) while Killer-content’s US office is at 4114 Hamlin Avenue, Chantilly Va20151—different zip codes therefore different localities. Why the same phone number? Moreover, the website of Wise Translations indicated a corporate address without indicating which corporation it belongs to. Wise Translations itself is not a registered or incorporated LLC or corporation per the database of the Virginia State of Corporation Commission.
In this day and age, technology has advanced and thus, telephones need not be fixed terminally at one site. I agree but instead of Global Crossing Telemanagement Inc. which they used before, now they are using Asterisk or similar voice-over-IP (VoIP) software. They used Global Crossing Telemanagement, Inc. before when the Aid staff were based in Ukraine but since the latter part of 2007 and onwards, the Support staff and customer relations representatives are located in Makati, Philippines since then they already used VoIP software. An advertisement for hiring for the position of Systems Administrator by Uniwork, Inc. for 20 March 2009 requires inter alia, ” Knowledge in Asterisk or any similar VOIP software, preferably open-source.” Asterisk is a phone system in software. The UK phones specified on all the websites are also on VoIP but not manned in the Philippines (only the US phones are answered in the Philippines). The UK phone numbers are manned in Ukraine. Those who called the websites (U.S. phone numbers) before mid 2007 may have experienced and heard a thick accent from the one answering the calls. Before incorporating in the Philippines, the Ukrainian Support staffs adopted American names when answering the phone calls and replying to emails. The names they used are Helen Mann, Margie Lee, Anna Grahm, Jason, Nick Myers, Daniel Fireade, Bethany Halfacre, Helen Hudson, Maggie, etc. Of course, they have their true and actual Ukraininan names which I have enumerated in a list.
Universal Research LLC, Universal Research Inc. and Universal Research Inc. Ltd are but ONE and the SAME monkey. The websites under the companies will be used interchangeably together with fictitious addresses, phone numbers and domain IPs.
Of course, Universal Research Incorporated is registered in the name of the agent/director Oleg Vorobev but all the websites/domains are registered under Yuriy Mizyuk/Universal Research LLC and are being operated by the latter. In fact, the production facility in the Philippines under Uniwork, Inc. was incorporated with a 99.99% Ukrainian capitalization from Yuriy Mizyuk. As I have mentioned in my third article, Yuriy Yur’yevich Mizyuk avoided placing his name on any U.S. public/official and government document since 2004. Why? Well, let me take you one orb of the web at a time.
The registered address of Universal Research Inc. Ltd was changed twice already since its incorporation before the Companies House. Initially it was at 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Herts or Hertfordshire WD6 1EN UK. Phyllis Miller was appointed as secretary of the company. Ms. Miller sells animal hide/leather and jackets made out of them as advertised at ebay dot co dot uk. (Contemplate web screenshot at the blog) FIGURE 4 shows a ‘google’ listing with her name and address listed. Miller is connected with Millano Ltd. She resigned as secretary for Universal Research Inc. Ltd. after three months from incorporation.
What astonished me is that the address seems to have an alarming history and incidence for credit card fraud. See FIGURE 5 Google Search listing posted at the blog. It also had been previously the subject of complaints at yahoo. This information may be relevant in the subsequent discussions.
I requested for assistance of the UK authorities to locate the contact number of Universal Research Inc. Ltd or Yuriy Mizyuk thereat but after a day or two, they were empty handed because there seems to be no such business at that station. The company changed address twice from Borehamwood to Ivy House 35 High Street Bushey Herts WD23 1BD UK then just recently this February to 71 On the Hill Watford Herts WD19 5DS, UK. The address at 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Hertfordshire UK WD6 1EN is a single detached house as can be seen from the Planning Applications made by Mr. and Mrs. Miller (Page 5 of the link). Phyllis Miller is representative of Millano Ltd. Based on registration by Companies House the registered office of Millano Ltd. is 7 Granard Business Centre Bunns Lane Mill Hill, London NW7 2DQ. Therefore there is an loyal registered office. There are about three companies with this address at Borehamwood, and quite surprising, is the fact that the secretaries are either Phyllis Miller or Paul Miller, who after a few months would resign as secretaries and the respective companies would then transfer to Ivy House 35 High Street Bushey Herts. The address at Ivy House 35 High Street Bushey Herts WD23 1BD UK may be a virtual office where a few companies specify as their office but these companies3 have their respective (actual) registered offices popular by Companies House.4
And for the last address, 71 On the Hill Watford Herts WD19 5DS, UK-there are actually two companies with the same registered office address, i.e. QX Entertainment Ltd. (registered 28 February 2008); Credit First Financial Solutions Ltd. (registered 6 November 2008).
Calling on UK authorities. “The face of fraud changes as technology advances” (UK Home Office website). The Association of Chief Police Officers have caused a report to be made in 2007 relative to an estimated cost of fraud and it revealed that at least £13.9bn a year is lost just on fraud alone. “Plastic card fraud alone cost £535m in 2007, an increase of more than £100m over 2006″ ” (UK Home Office website).
As for Jacqueline Houguez-Simmons, she was a director of Sunflower Personal Loans Ltd which is presently undergoing liquidation. In UK, there are individuals who make themselves available for appointment as secretaries or in some instances; there are individuals who are appointed as such WITHOUT themselves KNOWING that they were appointed. I have in my possession the Appointment of Simmons but there are no personal details of birth date, etc. and the same is not signed.
Your acts Yuriy Yur’yevich Mizyuk have been so predictable!
Finally, the address at 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Herts (or Hertfordshire), UK WD6 1EN in 2007 had been changed since 20 March 2008, why would Mizyuk and his cohorts continue using it when Mizyuk caused the notice of change of address twice to be filed in the Companies House? Why such loyal and blind preference to occupy on to said address –when after all, it does have quite a noted and gloomy history?
Well Yuriy, some things just go together!
Companies Act 2006 heavily punishes falsification (Section 1138, Part 37 Companies Act 2006). Fraud on the other hand is a serious matter that is dealt with by the UK police.
C. Trading Disclosures. Yuriy Mizyuk’s websites are in alleged violation of the provisions of The Companies (Registrar, Languages and Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2006 and The Companies (Trading Disclosures) Regulation 2008. In conformity with the provisions of these regulations, the company must display its company name at the registered office or any other place where it conducts its business including its websites. It shall also specify the place of registration of the service provider, details of the register including the registration number, It shall also specify the company that clients are dealing with. All such information should be indicated in the email footer.
The website of BestEssays.co.uk allegedly failed to comply with these requirements while killer-content dotcom failed to truthfully specify its geographical location. The website 2-Pay-Secure.com albeit specifies the same UK address; it failed to indicate the company to which it belongs. All of these websites fail to reflect the Company registration.
And what about all the other websites, i.e. SuperiorPapers, RushEssay, BestTermPaper, BestEssays, and so on with the litany of alleged fraudulent websites, they all specify a UK address BUT the company indicated thereon is Universal Research Inc.—a company NOT registered under UK Companies Act 2006. With UK office phone number in every website—this only means that Mizyuk and his cohorts are doing business in UK without the requisite registration or is it misrepresentation. Fraud is heavily punished in UK with a maximum of 10 years incarceration both for the main deception and the crime of conspiracy to defraud.
Cyprus is a beautiful country. Why was Cyprus dragged into this. The residential address supplied by Yuriy Mizyuk, Limassol Star Block F2 No. 11 1 Megalou Alexandrou Pyrgos Lemesou Cyprus 4534 is alleged to be fictitious. I am a little rusty in my Greek but the owner of the apartment at Limassol Star Block F2 Apt 4 told me that there is no Yuriy Mizyuk renting in any of her units—there never was! The Limassol Star Block 2 is in the Limassol District and not in 1 Megalou Alexandrou. In fact Megalou Alexandrou have codes ranging from 3041, 4006, and 4180. See link (entries #2719-2721). Pyrgos Lemessou as a municipality (see link) has a code of 4529 or entry 608 and not 4534 as was stated in the incorporation papers (See link—Municipalities_communities) The code 4534 is for Pyrgos Touristiki Periochi District Lemesos (Province/State) (See link—Municipalities_communities, entry #610). So why engage Cyprus as an alleged fictitious residential address for himself? Well, if you recall I mentioned in my second article of one of the websites operated by Mizyuk and his cohorts before—the defunct TopMerchants.gain . This website provided“credit card processing, software equipment and merchant accounts.”Sometime in 2006, it branched out to offshore investment in Cyprus. (See FIGURES 6 and 7 posted at the blog).
TopMerchants is now up on the World Wide Web since late March or early April this year. Originally it was registered under 2-Pay-Secure LLC, as registrant from 27 June 2005 to 15 December 2009 (domain dossier). It was out of the world wide web for awhile and now has resurrected after being reassigned to Uniwork, Inc. on 25 March 2009 with net range of: 66.165.113.224 – 66.165.113.255. This will be discussed at length in the next article. It should be added that a number of paunchy email headers forwarded to me by writers of EssayWriters dot net when traced in an email tracer led to IP addresses falling within the gather range cited above. The other email headers showed error when placed on an email tracer software. This will be discussed at length in the next article.
Let me reiterate, with the manner by which this entire business (sic) is being run, I can only logically conclude like the rest of you, that registration and incorporation whether in UK or in the US, was merely resorted to superficially to create an illusion. The US customers would be made to believe that the business is solid, legitimate, compliant, and subject to governmental regulation and in the same manner, the UK and Australian customers. Thus, a mirage of reliability. With that kind of illusion, the writers from the other countries would have some degree of assurance that if they work for these websites, they will be paid for their services.
Like an orb spinning spider, the web is enlarged and intricately but viciously woven so that it can ensnare its preys. He is a predator and lies, deception and fraud are his predatory tactics.
Philippines.
A. Registration. The Philippines’ medium of instruction from elementary to the university level is English. The exchange rate in 2007 was PhP48.15 to 1$ http://www.exchange-rates.org/currentRates/P/USD and the Filipino trait of perseverance, resilience and patience in the face of adversities were among the few things exploited by these unscrupulous people. Mizyuk and his cohorts established a company through the assistance of a law office in the Philippines. Thus on 23 August 2007, Uniwork, Inc. was incorporated by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission as a foreign company “engaged in Information and Communications Technology such as but not limited to Business Process Outsourcing, website content, and web development.” FIGURE 8 is a web veil shot of a scanned copy of its Certificate of Incorporation. (See blog for the rest of the incorporation papers of Uniwork, Inc.).
The incorporators are: Yuriy Mizyuk (UKR), Kevin Dean Dockery (US), Albert Kim Ludwig N. Sumaculub (Fil.), Rodolf Armand B. Initorio (Fil.) and Ricky F. Manolong (Fil.). Mizyuk’s subscribed capital is PhP249,960 out of which 62,460 was paid up (approximately $1329 at 47PhP to 1 $). The four others only paid up about PhP10,000 each (or approximately $212. 77). The Corporation Code of the Philippines or B.P. No. 68 requires that majority of the incorporators should be residents of the Philippines and perhaps this was the reason why it was necessary to have three Filipino incorporators out of the 5 incorporators (Part 10, Title II of the Corporation Code of the Philippines).5
B. Registered Office. Based on the incorporation approved by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission, the registered office is at 24/F Pacific Star Building, Makati, Philippines. Uniwork, Inc. is not located thereat. FIGURES 9, 10 and 11 are posted at the blog show the Pacific Star Building and its wall directory. No mark of Uniwork, Inc. in the building. A certification to this effect is issued for evidentiary purposes. The Philippine SEC requires that notice be given in case of change in the office address. Mizyuk did it with the Companies House for the UK registered company, Universal Research Ltd. Inc. why could he not do it with the foreign corporation he incorporated in the Philippines.Presently, there are three (3) offices of Uniwork, Inc. (www dot writers.ph). For the first office address, let me expend one of the public and official documents in my possession—the domain dossier of bestessaytips dot com. This domain was registered in the name of Yuriy Mizyuk of 11654 Plaza America Reston, while the network whois record is: Uniwork, Inc with address 17F Unit C Makati, Metro Manila with a net range of: 74.127.42.0 – 74.127.42.31 . Let me now supply the lacking information: 17F Unit C Burgundy Corporate Tower at Senator Gil Puyat, Makati, Metro Manila.
There is also another office unit on the 16th floor of the same building housing the marketing employees. These employees write PR articles, some are SEOs and those others who watch the substandard and traffic for all the websites. The office unit in 17F C houses the customer service agents, the writers’ support staff and the management officers, i.e. HR, the Country Director, a few Ukrainian women staffs, and at times, Yuriy Mizyuk. The third office is located in 2/F Executive Building, Senator Gil Puyat, Makati, Metro Manila. This third office houses the office-based writers that comprise part of the local pool of writers for orders which are posted at the website writers.ph. Some local writers are also web-based. The international (web) pool of writers are those from India, Pakistan, the Philippines, etc. who take orders posted at EssayWriters dot glean. All orders from SuperiorPapers, BestEssays, BestEssay dot co dot uk,, RushEssay, WiseTranslations, and other order/commercial websites are posted at EssayWriters dot net for any of the writers’ taking. Paunchy disclosure requirement of existing Philippine laws mandates “all corporations applying for registration before the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission to indicate the specific address of their principal office in their articles of incorporation” (SEC Circular No. 3, Series of 2006). In case you have not noticed there seems to be no accounting office for payroll and other accounting matters. The salaries of the ‘regular’ employees are paid through the ATMs, while the writers are paid through the usual mode of wire transfer, etc. So the next query that comes to mind is where does the money come from if there is no accounting office in the Philippines. Where else? But certainly not in the UK, US or in Cyprus. I will take you one orb at a time.
C. Writers. The unpaid Filipino writers were left with the blogs and message forums to vent their grievances and heartaches. I wonder at times, how the few Filipino managers and staff can recall in stride the exploitation of their countrymen. How it can be easily shrugged off as ‘higher management prerogative.’ Filipino history is replete of chronicles of pain, of corruption, of abuse and struggles but that notwithstanding, the Filipino spirit continues to illuminate and bedazzle–finding elixir for their economic woes from a deeply ingrained faith in God; thus, poignantly and sublimely rising above the painful strife of survival.
The Filipino employees (supervisory and up in rank) are made to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) upon employment. “A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a legal contract between at least two parties to protect trade secrets,intellectual property, or confidential information shared by one of these parties with the other.”(WiseGeek website).
Generally call center businesses are allowed certain latitude of secrecy by not revealing their location because these businesses are mainly the support of some US or foreign companies located outside the Philippines. However, I entertain some doubts if the same latitude of confidentiality is applicable to custom essay writing businesses where production facilities or nationalities of its writers (non-support staff positions) is the very information that is sought to be held confidential. And in the same breath, lied about by these websites through its countless PR materials and propaganda machinery tactics.
Any website that falsely advertises and misrepresents the nature, characteristics, qualities or geographical origin of the its goods and services is in violation of the Lanham Act. Thus, applying that principle here, allow me to cite one from the numerous instances as to what would this amount to:“Our writers are MA or PhD holders and native English speakers. They are from America, the UK, and Canada” from the Press Release of one of the websites. What then will transpire when it is proven that the production facility is in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines and that the writers are not from America, the UK, and Canada and not native English speakers? Moreover, the binding effect of the NDAs can no longer be invoked because otherwise, the efficacy of the confidentiality agreement would conceal the truth of a fact—a fact which is material and relevant to the issue of false advertisement and/or unfair competition. Albeit proceeding from a legal principle of the obligatory effect of contracts whereby a contract is deemed as binding between the parties thereto; the stipulations of said agreement cannot be held more superior than the provisions of the law.In the U.S., unfair competition is civil in nature where monetary damages are imposed (§ 1125, Title 15, Chapter 22, Subchapter III of the U.S. Code; Restatement of Torts) while in the Philippines, unfair competition is both criminal and civil—as a crime, it is punishable under the Revised Penal Code with imprisonment among others (Article 189, Revised Penal Code of the Philippines). This article on unfair competition is under Chapter 3 on Frauds—because it is committed with the diagram of misrepresenting, defrauding and deceiving another.
Something which is all too familiar.
Finally, there is also conspiracy in unfair competition in the Philippines. In the case of Lim, Miave and Chan v. Sec. of DOJ and RTC, Br. 130 docketed as CA-G.R. SP No. 64716, the Court affirmed the DOJ Resolution “Indeed the positions and participation of respondentsx x x indicate their involvement and complicity x x x. The said respondents are responsible officers who held and occupied positions in the company tending to show their knowledge, acquiescence and participation in the said illegal activity”(Lim, et al. vs. Hon. Perez, et al., CA-G.R. SP No. 64716).
The Philippine Foreign Investments Act of 1991 liberalised the entry of foreign investments in the Philippines. The entire business is information technology ( IT) then it falls within a category where special true concessions are given, for instance, taxes and investor’s visa. Yuriy Mizyuk was granted a Special Investor’s Resident Visa (SIRV) in 2008 subject to the conditions.
Updates
The domain registrations of the different websites per domain dossiers have been reassigned per ‘Net WhoIs’ record to Uniwork, Inc.
BestEssays and SuperiorPapers have modified their respective ‘contacts’ pages to reflect a fresh address at 1900 Campus Commons Drive Suite 100 Reston, Va from 12020 Sunrise Valley Drive Suite 100 Reston, Virginia 20191.The address, 1900 Campus Commons Drive Suite 100 Reston, Va is another virtual office.
EssayOnTime’s domain is registered under Authentic Writers Group-John Lewis of 1930 Harrison Street Hollywood, FL 33020 US. With IP address 74.127.42.11 on 17 September 2005 and was reassigned to Uniwork, Inc. on 19 November 2008 get range: 74.127.42.0 – 74.127.42.31 per domain dossier. Its postal address is at 3400 Peachtree Road, Northeast, Suite 1200 Atlanta Georgia 30326. While its postal address section of the website, it claims to be EssayOntime LLC., at bottom at the copyright status of the website, it states EssayOnTime Incorporated–something very basic even for a law student that an incorporated cannot be LLC.

A Registration. From the automatic cancellation of the registration of Universal Research LLC in the State of Virginia on 31 December 2007, to its clandestine and surreptitious resurrection under the name of Universal Research Inc.; the web is incessantly spun and woven into an intricate tapestry of lies through its propaganda machinery.
The Registrar for Companies for England and Wales approved the incorporation of Universal Research Inc. Ltd. on 17 December 2007 as a private limited company under Company No. 6455332. The company papers were filed electronically by an agent, @UKPLC Client Director Ltd. (similar to EASTBIZ.COM Inc. electronic filing) located at 5 Jupiter House Calleva Park Aldermaston Reading Berkshire UK RG7 8NN as appearing on the registration papers submitted before the Companies House. (The hard copy is in my possession. See more evidence posted at the blog).
Initially, Universal Research Inc. Ltd. had its registered address at 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Herts, UK WD6 1EN and its company secretary, Phyllis Miller (of the same address). The Memorandum of Association of Universal Research Inc. Ltd. states that it is “to carry on the business of a general commercial company” (#3a, page 3 of the Certificate of Incorporation) with Yuriy Mizyuk, a Ukrainian national as Director 1 (no other directors/sole director) with residential address at Limassol Star Block F2 No. 11 1 Megalou Alexandrou Pyrgos Lemesou Cyprus 4534 (page 2 of the Certificate of Incorporation). There is only one subscriber, Mr. Yuriy Mizyuk, having subscribed 100 shares (page 5 of the Certificate of Incorporation). “The share capital of the Company is £100 divided into 100 Ordinary £1 Shares of £1 each” (#3, page 6 of the Certificate of Incorporation). Thus, if he subscribed to 100 shares at £1 per section then his subscription is equivalent to $144.29 (foreign exchange rate as of 21 March 2009).
According to the Web Check Service of the Companies House, the company details are as follows, to wit: “Status: Active; Date of Incorporation: 17/12/2007; Country of Origin: United Kingdom; Company Type: Private Limited Company; Nature of Business (SIC(03)): None Supplied; Accounting Reference Date: 31/12; Last Accounts Made Up To: (NO ACCOUNTS FILED); Next Accounts Due: 17/10/2009; Last Return Made Up To:___; Next Return Due: 14/01/2009 OVERDUE; Previous Names: No previous name information has been recorded over the last 20 years.; Branch details: There are no branches associated with this company; Overseas Company Info: There are no overseas details associated with this company” (UK Companies House).The aforecited data was amended/updated about a week ago, as follows: Last Accounts Made up to 17/12/2008 with a note that said document/information is not yet available for inspection (as of 13 April 2009) with a List of Members submitted 17/12/08. Moreover, additional information was provided for the nature of business “9305 – Other service activities”1
When the Annual Return was made available, I inspected the electronic copy thereof and discovered that this was only filed on 10 April 2009. No new information was stated therein. It reiterated the 100 shares held by Yuriy Mizyuk (Ukrainian) for GBP100 as director. A Current Appointments Picture was created on 17 April 2009 and which shows the appointment of Jacqueline Houguez-Simmons as Secretary including her birthdate, her nationality and the number of appointments she currently has. Mizyuk is mentioned as a director and indicating thereon his birthdate. I have hard copies of these reports in my possession.
The Filing History of the company based on the Companies House website shows the following, to wit: that after its submission of Memorandum of Association, Declaration of Compliance, Statement of Directors & Registered Office and its incorporation on 17 December 2007, Phyllis Miller resigned as secretary on 19 March 2008; on 20 March 2008 a change of office from 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood to Ivy House 35 High Street Bushey Herts WD23 1BD UK; on 10 November 2008 the appointment of Secretary Jacqueline Houguez-Simmons and finally on 27 February 2009 the change of office to 71 On the Hill Watford Herts WD19 5DS, UK.
B. Registered Address. Companies Act 2006 (UK) requires that “a company must have a registered address at all times where communications may be received (Section 86, Part 6, ch 46 Companies Act 2006). It is in this registered office that the company must withhold its register, index and other documents making it available for inspection” (Sub allotment 3a of Section 86, Part 6, ch 46 Companies Act 2006). Any change in registered address must be reported to the Registrar and the “company may only act on the change not more than 14 days from the date of such notice” (Sub section 3b of Section 86, Portion 6, ch 46 Companies Act 2006).What then is a registered office address? It is an effective address where official communications are to be sent by officials from the Companies House and the Inland Revenue.“The registered office address can not be a PO Box, it must be an address where legal papers can be served. The company’s name should also be displayed outside of the premises.” Thus, clearly a virtual office may be allowed if the same is not the registered office address and provided that there is an accepted registered Staunch office.
Now let us find out if the websites which are allegedly ‘under’ Universal Research Inc. Limited are compliant with these legal requirements. For instance BestEssays.co.uk where the domain registrant is Yuriy Mizyuk of 11654 Plaza America Dr Reston VA 20190 US having registered it on 5 February 2008 (verified from whois.com domain dossier) or more than a month from the time Virginia Position of Corporation Commission canceled the registration of Universal Research LLC. Mizyuk finds it useful to keep on using the LLC is registering domains notwithstanding the fact tha the LLC registration had long been cancelled. The website claims that the “company was founded in 1998″ as shown on its ‘About us’ page but registration of the domain was only in 2008. THIS is something that is usual with the Mizyuk web. For instance, Uniwork, Inc./writers dot ph claims that they have been a reputable research company for TEN years when in fact, the company registration papers point to that the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission common its incorporation only in August 2007. There may be language barrier but for math? I think, ten is always 10 or one is always 1 in any language! The only entity name appearing on the website is–’BestEssays.Co.UK’ which is NOT registered at all before the UK Registrar or the Companies House (or in Virginia, U.S.).
The website shows on its ‘Contacts Page’ a postal address at Unit 2, 15-17 Caledonian Road, P.O. Box 168 London N1 9DX, UK. This address is actually IPB Interpostbox in London. Numerous inquiries were made in January 2009 about P.O.Box 168 from Kings Cross Interpostbox and consistent replies were received to the effect that Box 168 is level-headed unoccupied and there is no listing for Yuriy Mizyuk Universal Research Inc. Ltd, Universal Research LLC or BestEssays.co.uk (See FIGURE 1).
Be that as it may, BestEssays.co.uk is NOT a registered company and it is NOT operating and conducting its business at the given address. The post box is not even leased to them—it is unoccupied (as of end January 2009) but the website has been up on the World Wide Web for quite sometime already. What a lie Yuriy!
Simply stated, BestEssays.co.uk is not authorized to do business in UK. It is an unregistered entity which definitely is not paying taxes and since it claims having been founded in 1998, I am calling on Inland Revenue. The unregistered entity must be made to pay taxes cumulatively with fines and penalties since 1998, after all this is what they have been claiming.
Another website is Killer-content.com. Based on its ‘Contacts’ page, it is under Universal Research Inc. Ltd with the UK address as registered with the Companies House 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Hertfordshire, UK WD6 1EN) and a US address 4114 Hamlin Avenue, Chantilly Va20151 USA. FIGURE 2 shows a web screen shot of the ‘contacts’ page of Killer-content.com taken in November 2008 indicating that it is under Universal Research Inc. Ltd. (UK). Verification from the internet archives or way back machine an image of the website on 19 December 2007 (before the fateful cancellation of registration) or FIGURE 3. As you can clearly see, the corporate address is specified as “Universal Research LLC 11654 Plaza America Dr Reston Va 20191.” Bingo! Mizyuk and his cohorts amended the website killer-content.com under Universal Research LLC after cancellation of registration by the State of Virginia. This is proof that there was no conversion, no liquidation and no winding up of the LLC—there was merely a modification of the ‘contacts’ page of the website. Sometimes a spider can be caught by the very contain web he had spun.
Universal Research LLC is also Universal Research Inc Ltd., a company whose incorporation was sought by Yuriy Mizyuk and with him as the sole director for a little over $140.
There are several documented proofs. Allow me to dawdle in unbiased one more: An EMarketing listing was launched sometime on 26 January 2008 based on its creation as stated in its domain dossier. It advertised and listed killer-content as under “Universal Research LLC, Headquarters: 19 Cardinal Avenue WD6 1EN Borehamwood Hertfordshire, Outside the US, UK; Phone: 44 207-183-0318; killer-content.com.”This was definitely advertised (after emarketing firms.com was created on 26 January 2008 per domain dossier) after the cancelation of the registration of Universal Research LLC (31 December 2007) and after the time when Universal Research Inc. Ltd. had its incorporation approved by the Companies House on 17 December 2007, YET why is it that it caused the advertisement to consider killer-content.com as under Universal Research LLC but with the UK address, when in fact Universal Research LLC was never registered or incorporated in UK. Universal Research LLC had a Plaza America address registered in Virginia, U.S. and at the time of such advertisement, the registration of the LLC had already been canceled. Why not use Universal Research Inc. Ltd with the registered UK address as approved by the Companies House? This is proof to my previous discussion in my third article that Yuriy Mizyuk and his cohorts continued using Universal Research LLC on all of its websites after sometime notwithstanding its (LLC’s) cancellation by the State of Virginia. It further proves that websites like killer-content.com continued to conduct its operations on a ‘business as usual’ despite the fact that it should have been one of those assets liquidated during winding up. This is also proof of how interchangeable names of companies, websites, IP addresses, telephone numbers, registered office addresses are made because Mizyuk and his cohorts are not physically present–are not actually conducting their business operations in the registered offices in US or in the UK. They are merely operating on the World Wide Web (online) and the registrations of companies and specified addresses would go only as far as the ‘face-value’ of the websites’ Contacts Page. Why was killer-content.com (and the other websites) not liquidated as asset/s during the supposed winding up after the cancelation of registration of Universal Research LLC? Answer: There was no winding up and liquidation made. Killer-content and all the other websites were/are NEVER mentioned in the previous LLC documents and in the present corporations documents (Universal Research Inc in the US; Universal Research Inc. Ltd in UK and Uniwork, Inc. in the Philippines). When the respective corporations were incorporated in the different countries; there was no mention that they are overseas branches. The ONLY link of the websites with the corporations is the respective Contacts Pages. These Contacts Pages can easily be MODIFIED as was done previously after the LLC’s cancelation in December 2007 without leaving behind any immediate visible evidence of the modification. Internet archives or way back machine can be blocked by placing a robots.txt file. This does not mean that there can be no digital forensic evidence that can be retrieved and secured to display the modifications.1
Clearly, the corporate registrations were mere expedients and only sought for ‘optical illusion’ or for ‘show’ in order to attract the American ‘market’ (in the case of US registration) in patronizing the services and anent registration before the Companies House, to attract the UK ‘market. Registration gives it a semblance of legality and regulation. Most importantly, it was purposely set up in this manner for ease, convenience and facility to protect the websites from the reach of creditors or persons to whom Mizyuk and his cohorts may be liable whilst giving all of them the semblance of being operated and managed under registered company/companies in the US and the UK to attract the market. The entire set-up makes it convenient in the case of simulated transfer to abscond from the creditors and especially in cases of avoidance and evasion from criminal liabilities. Mizyuk establishes ‘links’ between corporations to the numerous websites for commercial purposes to attract market but can conveniently demolish said ‘links’ to erase and delete the tracks leading to him in case of liability. You glimpse, it is easier to establish and conduct operations of a legitimate business than space it all up in the manner Mizyuk did it. It makes one wonder why someone go through great lengths to spin an intricate web if from the inception, he only intends to honestly profit from his business.
It was quite a clever plan because if one checks one of the websites, for instance SuperiorPapers.com contacts page—the address for the company, Universal Research Inc. specifies a different address–(mailbox) address of12020 Sunrise Valley Drive Suite 100 Reston, Virginia 20191. It did not specify the registered address (4114 Hamlin Avenue, Chantilly Va) as appearing on the database of the State of Virginia Corporation Commission. Who would salvage out? Well, I did! Now, the quiz is: Is (Va-US) Universal Research Inc the same as (UK) Universal Research Inc. Ltd.? YES, it is. PROOF: There are several proofs in fact. Besides being urge and operated by Yuriy Mizyuk and his cohorts, verification of the domain dossiers of websites would reveal commonalities all leading to Yuriy Mizyuk; the UK phone number specified on the websites, i.e. SuperiorPapers, BestEssays,com, Bestessays.co.uk, RushEssay, BestTermPapers, ResumesPlanet, etc. under Universal Research Inc. 2 ++44 207-183-0318 is the very SAME phone number for Universal Research Inc. Ltd.’s Killer-content.com. So why are almost all of the websites under (Va-US) Universal Research Inc. bearing the same UK phone number of (UK) Universal Research Inc. Ltd.? Moreover, one of the websites—WiseTranslations’ US phone number is the very same phone number for US of Killer-content.com–703-621-7264. Based on the Contacts page of WiseTranslations, its corporate address is located at 1800 N. Kent Street #B1 Arlington, Virginia 22209 (which is an Engineering Office of Plaza East Building) while Killer-content’s US office is at 4114 Hamlin Avenue, Chantilly Va20151—different zip codes therefore different localities. Why the same phone number? Moreover, the website of Wise Translations indicated a corporate address without indicating which corporation it belongs to. Wise Translations itself is not a registered or incorporated LLC or corporation per the database of the Virginia State of Corporation Commission.
In this day and age, technology has advanced and thus, telephones need not be fixed terminally at one place. I agree but instead of Global Crossing Telemanagement Inc. which they used before, now they are using Asterisk or similar voice-over-IP (VoIP) software. They musty Global Crossing Telemanagement, Inc. before when the Support staff were based in Ukraine but since the latter part of 2007 and onwards, the Befriend staff and customer relations representatives are located in Makati, Philippines since then they already used VoIP software. An advertisement for hiring for the position of Systems Administrator by Uniwork, Inc. for 20 March 2009 requires inter alia, ” Knowledge in Asterisk or any similar VOIP software, preferably open-source.” Asterisk is a phone system in software. The UK phones specified on all the websites are also on VoIP but not manned in the Philippines (only the US phones are answered in the Philippines). The UK phone numbers are manned in Ukraine. Those who called the websites (U.S. phone numbers) before mid 2007 may have experienced and heard a thick accent from the one answering the calls. Before incorporating in the Philippines, the Ukrainian Support staffs adopted American names when answering the phone calls and replying to emails. The names they used are Helen Mann, Margie Lee, Anna Grahm, Jason, Cleave Myers, Daniel Fireade, Bethany Halfacre, Helen Hudson, Maggie, etc. Of course, they have their true and actual Ukraininan names which I have enumerated in a list.
Universal Research LLC, Universal Research Inc. and Universal Research Inc. Ltd are but ONE and the SAME monkey. The websites under the companies will be used interchangeably together with fictitious addresses, phone numbers and domain IPs.
Of course, Universal Research Incorporated is registered in the name of the agent/director Oleg Vorobev but all the websites/domains are registered under Yuriy Mizyuk/Universal Research LLC and are being operated by the latter. In fact, the production facility in the Philippines under Uniwork, Inc. was incorporated with a 99.99% Ukrainian capitalization from Yuriy Mizyuk. As I have mentioned in my third article, Yuriy Yur’yevich Mizyuk avoided placing his name on any U.S. public/official and government document since 2004. Why? Well, let me take you one orb of the web at a time.
The registered address of Universal Research Inc. Ltd was changed twice already since its incorporation before the Companies House. Initially it was at 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Herts or Hertfordshire WD6 1EN UK. Phyllis Miller was appointed as secretary of the company. Ms. Miller sells animal hide/leather and jackets made out of them as advertised at ebay dot co dot uk. (Examine web screenshot at the blog) FIGURE 4 shows a ‘google’ listing with her name and address listed. Miller is connected with Millano Ltd. She resigned as secretary for Universal Research Inc. Ltd. after three months from incorporation.
What astonished me is that the address seems to have an alarming history and incidence for credit card fraud. See FIGURE 5 Google Search listing posted at the blog. It also had been previously the subject of complaints at yahoo. This information may be relevant in the subsequent discussions.
I requested for assistance of the UK authorities to locate the contact number of Universal Research Inc. Ltd or Yuriy Mizyuk thereat but after a day or two, they were empty handed because there seems to be no such business at that spot. The company changed address twice from Borehamwood to Ivy House 35 High Street Bushey Herts WD23 1BD UK then just recently this February to 71 On the Hill Watford Herts WD19 5DS, UK. The address at 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Hertfordshire UK WD6 1EN is a single detached house as can be seen from the Planning Applications made by Mr. and Mrs. Miller (Page 5 of the link). Phyllis Miller is representative of Millano Ltd. Based on registration by Companies House the registered office of Millano Ltd. is 7 Granard Business Centre Bunns Lane Mill Hill, London NW7 2DQ. Therefore there is an actual registered office. There are about three companies with this address at Borehamwood, and quite surprising, is the fact that the secretaries are either Phyllis Miller or Paul Miller, who after a few months would resign as secretaries and the respective companies would then transfer to Ivy House 35 High Street Bushey Herts. The address at Ivy House 35 High Street Bushey Herts WD23 1BD UK may be a virtual office where a few companies specify as their office but these companies3 have their respective (actual) registered offices approved by Companies House.4
And for the last address, 71 On the Hill Watford Herts WD19 5DS, UK-there are actually two companies with the same registered office address, i.e. QX Entertainment Ltd. (registered 28 February 2008); Credit First Financial Solutions Ltd. (registered 6 November 2008).
Calling on UK authorities. “The face of fraud changes as technology advances” (UK Home Office website). The Association of Chief Police Officers have caused a report to be made in 2007 relative to an estimated cost of fraud and it revealed that at least £13.9bn a year is lost just on fraud alone. “Plastic card fraud alone cost £535m in 2007, an increase of more than £100m over 2006″ ” (UK Home Office website).
As for Jacqueline Houguez-Simmons, she was a director of Sunflower Personal Loans Ltd which is presently undergoing liquidation. In UK, there are individuals who make themselves available for appointment as secretaries or in some instances; there are individuals who are appointed as such WITHOUT themselves KNOWING that they were appointed. I have in my possession the Appointment of Simmons but there are no personal details of birth date, etc. and the same is not signed.
Your acts Yuriy Yur’yevich Mizyuk have been so predictable!
Finally, the address at 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Herts (or Hertfordshire), UK WD6 1EN in 2007 had been changed since 20 March 2008, why would Mizyuk and his cohorts continue using it when Mizyuk caused the notice of change of address twice to be filed in the Companies House? Why such loyal and blind preference to hold on to said address –when after all, it does have quite a illustrious and gloomy history?
Well Yuriy, some things unprejudiced go together!
Companies Act 2006 heavily punishes falsification (Section 1138, Part 37 Companies Act 2006). Fraud on the other hand is a serious matter that is dealt with by the UK police.
C. Trading Disclosures. Yuriy Mizyuk’s websites are in alleged violation of the provisions of The Companies (Registrar, Languages and Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2006 and The Companies (Trading Disclosures) Regulation 2008. In conformity with the provisions of these regulations, the company must display its company name at the registered office or any other place where it conducts its business including its websites. It shall also specify the place of registration of the service provider, details of the register including the registration number, It shall also specify the company that clients are dealing with. All such information should be indicated in the email footer.
The website of BestEssays.co.uk allegedly failed to comply with these requirements while killer-content dotcom failed to truthfully specify its geographical place. The website 2-Pay-Secure.com albeit specifies the same UK address; it failed to indicate the company to which it belongs. All of these websites fail to reflect the Company registration.
And what about all the other websites, i.e. SuperiorPapers, RushEssay, BestTermPaper, BestEssays, and so on with the litany of alleged fraudulent websites, they all specify a UK address BUT the company indicated thereon is Universal Research Inc.—a company NOT registered under UK Companies Act 2006. With UK office phone number in every website—this only means that Mizyuk and his cohorts are doing business in UK without the requisite registration or is it misrepresentation. Fraud is heavily punished in UK with a maximum of 10 years incarceration both for the main deception and the crime of conspiracy to defraud.
Cyprus is a fine country. Why was Cyprus dragged into this. The residential address supplied by Yuriy Mizyuk, Limassol Star Block F2 No. 11 1 Megalou Alexandrou Pyrgos Lemesou Cyprus 4534 is alleged to be fictitious. I am a little rusty in my Greek but the owner of the apartment at Limassol Star Block F2 First-rate 4 told me that there is no Yuriy Mizyuk renting in any of her units—there never was! The Limassol Star Block 2 is in the Limassol District and not in 1 Megalou Alexandrou. In fact Megalou Alexandrou have codes ranging from 3041, 4006, and 4180. See link (entries #2719-2721). Pyrgos Lemessou as a municipality (see link) has a code of 4529 or entry 608 and not 4534 as was stated in the incorporation papers (See link—Municipalities_communities) The code 4534 is for Pyrgos Touristiki Periochi District Lemesos (Province/State) (See link—Municipalities_communities, entry #610). So why pick Cyprus as an alleged fictitious residential address for himself? Well, if you bewitch I mentioned in my second article of one of the websites operated by Mizyuk and his cohorts before—the defunct TopMerchants.net . This website provided“credit card processing, software equipment and merchant accounts.”Sometime in 2006, it branched out to offshore investment in Cyprus. (See FIGURES 6 and 7 posted at the blog).
TopMerchants is now up on the World Wide Web since late March or early April this year. Originally it was registered under 2-Pay-Secure LLC, as registrant from 27 June 2005 to 15 December 2009 (domain dossier). It was out of the world wide web for awhile and now has resurrected after being reassigned to Uniwork, Inc. on 25 March 2009 with net range of: 66.165.113.224 – 66.165.113.255. This will be discussed at length in the next article. It should be added that a number of full email headers forwarded to me by writers of EssayWriters dot net when traced in an email tracer led to IP addresses falling within the net range cited above. The other email headers showed error when placed on an email tracer software. This will be discussed at length in the next article.
Let me reiterate, with the manner by which this entire business (sic) is being run, I can only logically conclude like the rest of you, that registration and incorporation whether in UK or in the US, was merely resorted to superficially to create an illusion. The US customers would be made to believe that the business is solid, legitimate, compliant, and subject to governmental regulation and in the same manner, the UK and Australian customers. Thus, a mirage of reliability. With that kind of illusion, the writers from the other countries would have some degree of assurance that if they work for these websites, they will be paid for their services.
Like an orb spinning spider, the web is enlarged and intricately but viciously woven so that it can ensnare its preys. He is a predator and lies, deception and fraud are his predatory tactics.
Philippines.
A. Registration. The Philippines’ medium of instruction from elementary to the university level is English. The exchange rate in 2007 was PhP48.15 to 1$ http://www.exchange-rates.org/currentRates/P/USD and the Filipino trait of perseverance, resilience and patience in the face of adversities were among the few things exploited by these unscrupulous people. Mizyuk and his cohorts established a company through the assistance of a law office in the Philippines. Thus on 23 August 2007, Uniwork, Inc. was incorporated by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission as a foreign company “engaged in Information and Communications Technology such as but not limited to Business Process Outsourcing, website content, and web development.” FIGURE 8 is a web screen shot of a scanned copy of its Certificate of Incorporation. (See blog for the rest of the incorporation papers of Uniwork, Inc.).
The incorporators are: Yuriy Mizyuk (UKR), Kevin Dean Dockery (US), Albert Kim Ludwig N. Sumaculub (Fil.), Rodolf Armand B. Initorio (Fil.) and Ricky F. Manolong (Fil.). Mizyuk’s subscribed capital is PhP249,960 out of which 62,460 was paid up (approximately $1329 at 47PhP to 1 $). The four others only paid up about PhP10,000 each (or approximately $212. 77). The Corporation Code of the Philippines or B.P. No. 68 requires that majority of the incorporators should be residents of the Philippines and perhaps this was the reason why it was necessary to have three Filipino incorporators out of the 5 incorporators (Section 10, Title II of the Corporation Code of the Philippines).5
B. Registered Office. Based on the incorporation common by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission, the registered office is at 24/F Pacific Star Building, Makati, Philippines. Uniwork, Inc. is not located thereat. FIGURES 9, 10 and 11 are posted at the blog present the Pacific Star Building and its wall directory. No sign of Uniwork, Inc. in the building. A certification to this effect is issued for evidentiary purposes. The Philippine SEC requires that notice be given in case of change in the office address. Mizyuk did it with the Companies House for the UK registered company, Universal Research Ltd. Inc. why could he not do it with the foreign corporation he incorporated in the Philippines.Presently, there are three (3) offices of Uniwork, Inc. (www dot writers.ph). For the first office address, let me use one of the public and official documents in my possession—the domain dossier of bestessaytips dot com. This domain was registered in the name of Yuriy Mizyuk of 11654 Plaza America Reston, while the network whois record is: Uniwork, Inc with address 17F Unit C Makati, Metro Manila with a pick up range of: 74.127.42.0 – 74.127.42.31 . Let me now supply the lacking information: 17F Unit C Burgundy Corporate Tower at Senator Gil Puyat, Makati, Metro Manila.
There is also another office unit on the 16th floor of the same building housing the marketing employees. These employees write PR articles, some are SEOs and those others who watch the contemptible and traffic for all the websites. The office unit in 17F C houses the customer service agents, the writers’ support staff and the management officers, i.e. HR, the Country Director, a few Ukrainian women staffs, and at times, Yuriy Mizyuk. The third office is located in 2/F Executive Building, Senator Gil Puyat, Makati, Metro Manila. This third office houses the office-based writers that comprise part of the local pool of writers for orders which are posted at the website writers.ph. Some local writers are also web-based. The international (web) pool of writers are those from India, Pakistan, the Philippines, etc. who take orders posted at EssayWriters dot gain. All orders from SuperiorPapers, BestEssays, BestEssay dot co dot uk,, RushEssay, WiseTranslations, and other order/commercial websites are posted at EssayWriters dot fetch for any of the writers’ taking. Pudgy disclosure requirement of existing Philippine laws mandates “all corporations applying for registration before the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission to indicate the specific address of their principal office in their articles of incorporation” (SEC Circular No. 3, Series of 2006). In case you have not noticed there seems to be no accounting office for payroll and other accounting matters. The salaries of the ‘regular’ employees are paid through the ATMs, while the writers are paid through the usual mode of wire transfer, etc. So the next question that comes to mind is where does the money reach from if there is no accounting office in the Philippines. Where else? But certainly not in the UK, US or in Cyprus. I will take you one orb at a time.
C. Writers. The unpaid Filipino writers were left with the blogs and message forums to vent their grievances and heartaches. I wonder at times, how the few Filipino managers and staff can take in stride the exploitation of their countrymen. How it can be easily shrugged off as ‘higher management prerogative.’ Filipino history is replete of chronicles of pain, of corruption, of abuse and struggles but that notwithstanding, the Filipino spirit continues to illuminate and bedazzle–finding elixir for their economic woes from a deeply ingrained faith in God; thus, poignantly and sublimely rising above the painful strife of survival.
The Filipino employees (supervisory and up in rank) are made to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) upon employment. “A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a legal contract between at least two parties to protect trade secrets,intellectual property, or confidential information shared by one of these parties with the other.”(WiseGeek website).
Generally call center businesses are allowed certain latitude of secrecy by not revealing their location because these businesses are mainly the support of some US or foreign companies located outside the Philippines. However, I entertain some doubts if the same latitude of confidentiality is applicable to custom essay writing businesses where production facilities or nationalities of its writers (non-support staff positions) is the very information that is sought to be held confidential. And in the same breath, lied about by these websites through its countless PR materials and propaganda machinery tactics.
Any website that falsely advertises and misrepresents the nature, characteristics, qualities or geographical origin of the its goods and services is in violation of the Lanham Act. Thus, applying that principle here, allow me to cite one from the numerous instances as to what would this amount to:“Our writers are MA or PhD holders and native English speakers. They are from America, the UK, and Canada” from the Press Release of one of the websites. What then will transpire when it is proven that the production facility is in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines and that the writers are not from America, the UK, and Canada and not native English speakers? Moreover, the binding effect of the NDAs can no longer be invoked because otherwise, the efficacy of the confidentiality agreement would veil the truth of a fact—a fact which is material and relevant to the explain of false advertisement and/or unfair competition. Albeit proceeding from a legal principle of the obligatory effect of contracts whereby a contract is deemed as binding between the parties thereto; the stipulations of said agreement cannot be held more superior than the provisions of the law.In the U.S., unfair competition is civil in nature where monetary damages are imposed (§ 1125, Title 15, Chapter 22, Subchapter III of the U.S. Code; Restatement of Torts) while in the Philippines, unfair competition is both criminal and civil—as a crime, it is punishable under the Revised Penal Code with imprisonment among others (Article 189, Revised Penal Code of the Philippines). This article on unfair competition is under Chapter 3 on Frauds—because it is committed with the design of misrepresenting, defrauding and deceiving another.
Something which is all too familiar.
Finally, there is also conspiracy in unfair competition in the Philippines. In the case of Lim, Miave and Chan v. Sec. of DOJ and RTC, Br. 130 docketed as CA-G.R. SP No. 64716, the Court affirmed the DOJ Resolution “Indeed the positions and participation of respondentsx x x indicate their involvement and complicity x x x. The said respondents are responsible officers who held and occupied positions in the company tending to point to their knowledge, acquiescence and participation in the said illegal activity”(Lim, et al. vs. Hon. Perez, et al., CA-G.R. SP No. 64716).
The Philippine Foreign Investments Act of 1991 liberalised the entry of foreign investments in the Philippines. The entire business is information technology ( IT) then it falls within a category where special apt concessions are given, for instance, taxes and investor’s visa. Yuriy Mizyuk was granted a Special Investor’s Resident Visa (SIRV) in 2008 subject to the conditions.
Updates
The domain registrations of the different websites per domain dossiers have been reassigned per ‘Net WhoIs’ record to Uniwork, Inc.
BestEssays and SuperiorPapers have modified their respective ‘contacts’ pages to judge a new address at 1900 Campus Commons Drive Suite 100 Reston, Va from 12020 Sunrise Valley Drive Suite 100 Reston, Virginia 20191.The address, 1900 Campus Commons Drive Suite 100 Reston, Va is another virtual office.
EssayOnTime’s domain is registered under Authentic Writers Group-John Lewis of 1930 Harrison Street Hollywood, FL 33020 US. With IP address 74.127.42.11 on 17 September 2005 and was reassigned to Uniwork, Inc. on 19 November 2008 pick up range: 74.127.42.0 – 74.127.42.31 per domain dossier. Its postal address is at 3400 Peachtree Road, Northeast, Suite 1200 Atlanta Georgia 30326. While its postal address section of the website, it claims to be EssayOntime LLC., at bottom at the copyright area of the website, it states EssayOnTime Incorporated–something very basic even for a law student that an incorporated cannot be LLC.

Filed under Small Business Voip Phone Systems by on Feb 18th, 2011. Comment.
Google Voice, one of Google’s most recent services, offers a phone number and options for voice over IP service for free. While the service has not taken off tremendously – the service is still invite-only – it offers advantages for slight business owners everywhere.
Get Your Invitation
The first step is to tag up for an invitation. This process takes only a moment, but it may buy quite a while to finally be invited.
VoIP? Get Ready
During the wait, order a head residence for spend of VoIP, make sure your computer is capable of handling it, and be certain your Internet service is also quick enough to handle it (Broadband is a minimum requirement in most cases).
Choose: Skype or Gizmo?
Skype offers a chance to consume Google Voice to effect VoIP calls for cheap (Only about $3 per month), and Gizmo offers a free service. Life Hacker has a detailed guide to setting up Gizmo. Be forewarned: because of the two services and the conversion of computer data to land line or cell phone conversation, there will probably be a delay in the conversation – sometimes bad enough to make the call impossible. This is why a fast Internet connection is principal. I have also heard connecting through wireless makes it worse.
Use with a regular phone service
To use Google Speak through a land line or cell phone, all you will need is a phone number. Google’s instructions when you sign up are fairly simple to understand. Basically, any time somebody calls your Google Boom number, you will receive a call on whatever phone number you provide.
Recommendations
I, personally, recommend using Google Voice in conjunction with Skype. It provides calls on your computer, which keeps your Google number separate from your phone number – and therefore, can preserve business calls separate from personal ones, which can often be a problem, especially for those truly small business owners out there without land lines or separate cell phones.
If your Internet or computer are too slow for comfort, though, the land line or cell phone method are your only options.
Advantages
Beyond keeping your business and personal life separate, if you already have a separate phone for business, you can place your two numbers in separate places and use the call rate as a form of market research. Which phone number is receiving more calls? Expand your advertising wherever it appeared.
Additionally, especially using Skype, one can completely replace a phone with a VoIP service, which could save a substantial amount of money on phone bills every month.
The most apparent and best savings feature is that of free long distance calls within the United States, which can be especially beneficial for those running national businesses or with family elsewhere and using a land line.
Finally, if you are providing a local service to people in another set, you can choose a phone number in quite a few cities, even if you are not a resident. People may trust service businesses, especially, more if they have local numbers, rather than from other places.
What are your tips for using Google Voice? Have you noticed any advantages or disadvantages I didn’t point out? Fragment in the comments.

UK
A Registration. From the automatic cancellation of the registration of Universal Research LLC in the Plot of Virginia on 31 December 2007, to its clandestine and surreptitious resurrection under the name of Universal Research Inc.; the web is incessantly spun and woven into an intricate tapestry of lies through its propaganda machinery.
The Registrar for Companies for England and Wales approved the incorporation of Universal Research Inc. Ltd. on 17 December 2007 as a private limited company under Company No. 6455332. The company papers were filed electronically by an agent, @UKPLC Client Director Ltd. (similar to EASTBIZ.COM Inc. electronic filing) located at 5 Jupiter House Calleva Park Aldermaston Reading Berkshire UK RG7 8NN as appearing on the registration papers submitted before the Companies House. (The hard copy is in my possession. See more evidence posted at the blog).
Initially, Universal Research Inc. Ltd. had its registered address at 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Herts, UK WD6 1EN and its company secretary, Phyllis Miller (of the same address). The Memorandum of Association of Universal Research Inc. Ltd. states that it is “to carry on the business of a general commercial company” (#3a, page 3 of the Certificate of Incorporation) with Yuriy Mizyuk, a Ukrainian national as Director 1 (no other directors/sole director) with residential address at Limassol Star Block F2 No. 11 1 Megalou Alexandrou Pyrgos Lemesou Cyprus 4534 (page 2 of the Certificate of Incorporation). There is only one subscriber, Mr. Yuriy Mizyuk, having subscribed 100 shares (page 5 of the Certificate of Incorporation). “The share capital of the Company is £100 divided into 100 Ordinary £1 Shares of £1 each” (#3, page 6 of the Certificate of Incorporation). Thus, if he subscribed to 100 shares at £1 per share then his subscription is equivalent to $144.29 (foreign exchange rate as of 21 March 2009).
According to the Web Check Service of the Companies House, the company details are as follows, to wit: “Status: Active; Date of Incorporation: 17/12/2007; Country of Origin: United Kingdom; Company Type: Private Limited Company; Nature of Business (SIC(03)): None Supplied; Accounting Reference Date: 31/12; Last Accounts Made Up To: (NO ACCOUNTS FILED); Next Accounts Due: 17/10/2009; Last Return Made Up To:___; Next Return Due: 14/01/2009 OVERDUE; Previous Names: No previous name information has been recorded over the last 20 years.; Branch details: There are no branches associated with this company; Overseas Company Info: There are no overseas details associated with this company” (UK Companies House).The aforecited data was amended/updated about a week ago, as follows: Last Accounts Made up to 17/12/2008 with a imprint that said document/information is not yet available for inspection (as of 13 April 2009) with a List of Members submitted 17/12/08. Moreover, additional information was provided for the nature of business “9305 – Other service activities”1
When the Annual Return was made available, I inspected the electronic copy thereof and discovered that this was only filed on 10 April 2009. No new information was stated therein. It reiterated the 100 shares held by Yuriy Mizyuk (Ukrainian) for GBP100 as director. A Fresh Appointments Report was created on 17 April 2009 and which shows the appointment of Jacqueline Houguez-Simmons as Secretary including her birthdate, her nationality and the number of appointments she currently has. Mizyuk is mentioned as a director and indicating thereon his birthdate. I have hard copies of these reports in my possession.
The Filing History of the company based on the Companies House website shows the following, to wit: that after its submission of Memorandum of Association, Declaration of Compliance, Statement of Directors & Registered Office and its incorporation on 17 December 2007, Phyllis Miller resigned as secretary on 19 March 2008; on 20 March 2008 a change of office from 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood to Ivy House 35 High Street Bushey Herts WD23 1BD UK; on 10 November 2008 the appointment of Secretary Jacqueline Houguez-Simmons and finally on 27 February 2009 the change of office to 71 On the Hill Watford Herts WD19 5DS, UK.
B. Registered Address. Companies Act 2006 (UK) requires that “a company must have a registered address at all times where communications may be received (Portion 86, Part 6, ch 46 Companies Act 2006). It is in this registered office that the company must retain its register, index and other documents making it available for inspection” (Sub section 3a of Section 86, Portion 6, ch 46 Companies Act 2006). Any change in registered address must be reported to the Registrar and the “company may only act on the change not more than 14 days from the date of such notice” (Sub section 3b of Section 86, Part 6, ch 46 Companies Act 2006).What then is a registered office address? It is an effective address where official communications are to be sent by officials from the Companies House and the Inland Revenue.“The registered office address can not be a PO Box, it must be an address where moral papers can be served. The company’s name should also be displayed outside of the premises.” Thus, clearly a virtual office may be allowed if the same is not the registered office address and provided that there is an popular registered Sincere office.
Now let us find out if the websites which are allegedly ‘under’ Universal Research Inc. Limited are compliant with these right requirements. For instance BestEssays.co.uk where the domain registrant is Yuriy Mizyuk of 11654 Plaza America Dr Reston VA 20190 US having registered it on 5 February 2008 (verified from whois.com domain dossier) or more than a month from the time Virginia Region of Corporation Commission canceled the registration of Universal Research LLC. Mizyuk finds it useful to keep on using the LLC is registering domains notwithstanding the fact tha the LLC registration had long been cancelled. The website claims that the “company was founded in 1998″ as shown on its ‘About us’ page but registration of the domain was only in 2008. THIS is something that is usual with the Mizyuk web. For instance, Uniwork, Inc./writers dot ph claims that they have been a reputable research company for TEN years when in fact, the company registration papers show that the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission current its incorporation only in August 2007. There may be language barrier but for math? I consider, ten is always 10 or one is always 1 in any language! The only entity name appearing on the website is–’BestEssays.Co.UK’ which is NOT registered at all before the UK Registrar or the Companies House (or in Virginia, U.S.).
The website shows on its ‘Contacts Page’ a postal address at Unit 2, 15-17 Caledonian Road, P.O. Box 168 London N1 9DX, UK. This address is actually IPB Interpostbox in London. Numerous inquiries were made in January 2009 about P.O.Box 168 from Kings Cross Interpostbox and consistent replies were received to the effect that Box 168 is still unoccupied and there is no listing for Yuriy Mizyuk Universal Research Inc. Ltd, Universal Research LLC or BestEssays.co.uk (Study FIGURE 1).
Be that as it may, BestEssays.co.uk is NOT a registered company and it is NOT operating and conducting its business at the given address. The post box is not even leased to them—it is unoccupied (as of end January 2009) but the website has been up on the World Wide Web for quite sometime already. What a lie Yuriy!
Simply stated, BestEssays.co.uk is not authorized to do business in UK. It is an unregistered entity which definitely is not paying taxes and since it claims having been founded in 1998, I am calling on Inland Revenue. The unregistered entity must be made to pay taxes cumulatively with fines and penalties since 1998, after all this is what they have been claiming.
Another website is Killer-content.com. Based on its ‘Contacts’ page, it is under Universal Research Inc. Ltd with the UK address as registered with the Companies House 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Hertfordshire, UK WD6 1EN) and a US address 4114 Hamlin Avenue, Chantilly Va20151 USA. FIGURE 2 shows a web mask shot of the ‘contacts’ page of Killer-content.com taken in November 2008 indicating that it is under Universal Research Inc. Ltd. (UK). Verification from the internet archives or way back machine an image of the website on 19 December 2007 (before the fateful cancellation of registration) or FIGURE 3. As you can clearly glimpse, the corporate address is specified as “Universal Research LLC 11654 Plaza America Dr Reston Va 20191.” Bingo! Mizyuk and his cohorts amended the website killer-content.com under Universal Research LLC after cancellation of registration by the State of Virginia. This is proof that there was no conversion, no liquidation and no winding up of the LLC—there was merely a modification of the ‘contacts’ page of the website. Sometimes a spider can be caught by the very own web he had spun.
Universal Research LLC is also Universal Research Inc Ltd., a company whose incorporation was sought by Yuriy Mizyuk and with him as the sole director for a little over $140.
There are several documented proofs. Allow me to slip in just one more: An EMarketing listing was launched sometime on 26 January 2008 based on its creation as stated in its domain dossier. It advertised and listed killer-content as under “Universal Research LLC, Headquarters: 19 Cardinal Avenue WD6 1EN Borehamwood Hertfordshire, Outside the US, UK; Phone: 44 207-183-0318; killer-content.com.”This was definitely advertised (after emarketing firms.com was created on 26 January 2008 per domain dossier) after the cancelation of the registration of Universal Research LLC (31 December 2007) and after the time when Universal Research Inc. Ltd. had its incorporation favorite by the Companies House on 17 December 2007, YET why is it that it caused the advertisement to contemplate killer-content.com as under Universal Research LLC but with the UK address, when in fact Universal Research LLC was never registered or incorporated in UK. Universal Research LLC had a Plaza America address registered in Virginia, U.S. and at the time of such advertisement, the registration of the LLC had already been canceled. Why not use Universal Research Inc. Ltd with the registered UK address as approved by the Companies House? This is proof to my previous discussion in my third article that Yuriy Mizyuk and his cohorts continued using Universal Research LLC on all of its websites after sometime notwithstanding its (LLC’s) cancellation by the State of Virginia. It further proves that websites like killer-content.com continued to conduct its operations on a ‘business as usual’ despite the fact that it should have been one of those assets liquidated during winding up. This is also proof of how interchangeable names of companies, websites, IP addresses, telephone numbers, registered office addresses are made because Mizyuk and his cohorts are not physically present–are not actually conducting their business operations in the registered offices in US or in the UK. They are merely operating on the World Wide Web (online) and the registrations of companies and specified addresses would go only as far as the ‘face-value’ of the websites’ Contacts Page. Why was killer-content.com (and the other websites) not liquidated as asset/s during the supposed winding up after the cancelation of registration of Universal Research LLC? Answer: There was no winding up and liquidation made. Killer-content and all the other websites were/are NEVER mentioned in the previous LLC documents and in the present corporations documents (Universal Research Inc in the US; Universal Research Inc. Ltd in UK and Uniwork, Inc. in the Philippines). When the respective corporations were incorporated in the different countries; there was no mention that they are overseas branches. The ONLY link of the websites with the corporations is the respective Contacts Pages. These Contacts Pages can easily be MODIFIED as was done previously after the LLC’s cancelation in December 2007 without leaving behind any immediate visible evidence of the modification. Internet archives or way back machine can be blocked by placing a robots.txt file. This does not mean that there can be no digital forensic evidence that can be retrieved and secured to prove the modifications.1
Clearly, the corporate registrations were mere expedients and only sought for ‘optical illusion’ or for ‘show’ in order to attract the American ‘market’ (in the case of US registration) in patronizing the services and anent registration before the Companies House, to attract the UK ‘market. Registration gives it a semblance of legality and regulation. Most importantly, it was purposely set up in this manner for ease, convenience and facility to protect the websites from the reach of creditors or persons to whom Mizyuk and his cohorts may be liable whilst giving all of them the semblance of being operated and managed under registered company/companies in the US and the UK to attract the market. The entire set-up makes it convenient in the case of simulated transfer to abscond from the creditors and especially in cases of avoidance and evasion from criminal liabilities. Mizyuk establishes ‘links’ between corporations to the numerous websites for commercial purposes to attract market but can conveniently extinguish said ‘links’ to erase and delete the tracks leading to him in case of liability. You see, it is easier to set aside and conduct operations of a legitimate business than set it all up in the manner Mizyuk did it. It makes one wonder why someone go through great lengths to spin an intricate web if from the inception, he only intends to honestly profit from his business.
It was quite a clever plan because if one checks one of the websites, for instance SuperiorPapers.com contacts page—the address for the company, Universal Research Inc. specifies a different address–(mailbox) address of12020 Sunrise Valley Drive Suite 100 Reston, Virginia 20191. It did not specify the registered address (4114 Hamlin Avenue, Chantilly Va) as appearing on the database of the State of Virginia Corporation Commission. Who would secure out? Well, I did! Now, the question is: Is (Va-US) Universal Research Inc the same as (UK) Universal Research Inc. Ltd.? YES, it is. PROOF: There are several proofs in fact. Besides being run and operated by Yuriy Mizyuk and his cohorts, verification of the domain dossiers of websites would jabber commonalities all leading to Yuriy Mizyuk; the UK phone number specified on the websites, i.e. SuperiorPapers, BestEssays,com, Bestessays.co.uk, RushEssay, BestTermPapers, ResumesPlanet, etc. under Universal Research Inc. 2 ++44 207-183-0318 is the very SAME phone number for Universal Research Inc. Ltd.’s Killer-content.com. So why are almost all of the websites under (Va-US) Universal Research Inc. bearing the same UK phone number of (UK) Universal Research Inc. Ltd.? Moreover, one of the websites—WiseTranslations’ US phone number is the very same phone number for US of Killer-content.com–703-621-7264. Based on the Contacts page of WiseTranslations, its corporate address is located at 1800 N. Kent Street #B1 Arlington, Virginia 22209 (which is an Engineering Office of Plaza East Building) while Killer-content’s US office is at 4114 Hamlin Avenue, Chantilly Va20151—different zip codes therefore different localities. Why the same phone number? Moreover, the website of Wise Translations indicated a corporate address without indicating which corporation it belongs to. Wise Translations itself is not a registered or incorporated LLC or corporation per the database of the Virginia State of Corporation Commission.
In this day and age, technology has advanced and thus, telephones need not be fixed terminally at one place. I agree but instead of Global Crossing Telemanagement Inc. which they used before, now they are using Asterisk or similar voice-over-IP (VoIP) software. They used Global Crossing Telemanagement, Inc. before when the Support staff were based in Ukraine but since the latter fraction of 2007 and onwards, the Encourage staff and customer relations representatives are located in Makati, Philippines since then they already used VoIP software. An advertisement for hiring for the status of Systems Administrator by Uniwork, Inc. for 20 March 2009 requires inter alia, ” Knowledge in Asterisk or any similar VOIP software, preferably open-source.” Asterisk is a phone system in software. The UK phones specified on all the websites are also on VoIP but not manned in the Philippines (only the US phones are answered in the Philippines). The UK phone numbers are manned in Ukraine. Those who called the websites (U.S. phone numbers) before mid 2007 may have experienced and heard a thick accent from the one answering the calls. Before incorporating in the Philippines, the Ukrainian Support staffs adopted American names when answering the phone calls and replying to emails. The names they used are Helen Mann, Margie Lee, Anna Grahm, Jason, Nick Myers, Daniel Fireade, Bethany Halfacre, Helen Hudson, Maggie, etc. Of course, they have their upright and actual Ukraininan names which I have enumerated in a list.
Universal Research LLC, Universal Research Inc. and Universal Research Inc. Ltd are but ONE and the SAME monkey. The websites under the companies will be extinct interchangeably together with fictitious addresses, phone numbers and domain IPs.
Of course, Universal Research Incorporated is registered in the name of the agent/director Oleg Vorobev but all the websites/domains are registered under Yuriy Mizyuk/Universal Research LLC and are being operated by the latter. In fact, the production facility in the Philippines under Uniwork, Inc. was incorporated with a 99.99% Ukrainian capitalization from Yuriy Mizyuk. As I have mentioned in my third article, Yuriy Yur’yevich Mizyuk avoided placing his name on any U.S. public/official and government document since 2004. Why? Well, let me take you one orb of the web at a time.
The registered address of Universal Research Inc. Ltd was changed twice already since its incorporation before the Companies House. Initially it was at 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Herts or Hertfordshire WD6 1EN UK. Phyllis Miller was appointed as secretary of the company. Ms. Miller sells animal hide/leather and jackets made out of them as advertised at ebay dot co dot uk. (See web screenshot at the blog) FIGURE 4 shows a ‘google’ listing with her name and address listed. Miller is connected with Millano Ltd. She resigned as secretary for Universal Research Inc. Ltd. after three months from incorporation.
What astonished me is that the address seems to have an alarming history and incidence for credit card fraud. See FIGURE 5 Google Search listing posted at the blog. It also had been previously the subject of complaints at yahoo. This information may be relevant in the subsequent discussions.
I requested for assistance of the UK authorities to locate the contact number of Universal Research Inc. Ltd or Yuriy Mizyuk thereat but after a day or two, they were empty handed because there seems to be no such business at that place. The company changed address twice from Borehamwood to Ivy House 35 High Street Bushey Herts WD23 1BD UK then objective recently this February to 71 On the Hill Watford Herts WD19 5DS, UK. The address at 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Hertfordshire UK WD6 1EN is a single detached house as can be seen from the Planning Applications made by Mr. and Mrs. Miller (Page 5 of the link). Phyllis Miller is representative of Millano Ltd. Based on registration by Companies House the registered office of Millano Ltd. is 7 Granard Business Centre Bunns Lane Mill Hill, London NW7 2DQ. Therefore there is an trusty registered office. There are about three companies with this address at Borehamwood, and quite surprising, is the fact that the secretaries are either Phyllis Miller or Paul Miller, who after a few months would resign as secretaries and the respective companies would then transfer to Ivy House 35 High Street Bushey Herts. The address at Ivy House 35 High Street Bushey Herts WD23 1BD UK may be a virtual office where a few companies specify as their office but these companies3 have their respective (actual) registered offices approved by Companies House.4
And for the last address, 71 On the Hill Watford Herts WD19 5DS, UK-there are actually two companies with the same registered office address, i.e. QX Entertainment Ltd. (registered 28 February 2008); Credit First Financial Solutions Ltd. (registered 6 November 2008).
Calling on UK authorities. “The face of fraud changes as technology advances” (UK Home Office website). The Association of Chief Police Officers have caused a report to be made in 2007 relative to an estimated cost of fraud and it revealed that at least £13.9bn a year is lost just on fraud alone. “Plastic card fraud alone cost £535m in 2007, an increase of more than £100m over 2006″ ” (UK Home Office website).
As for Jacqueline Houguez-Simmons, she was a director of Sunflower Personal Loans Ltd which is presently undergoing liquidation. In UK, there are individuals who make themselves available for appointment as secretaries or in some instances; there are individuals who are appointed as such WITHOUT themselves KNOWING that they were appointed. I have in my possession the Appointment of Simmons but there are no personal details of birth date, etc. and the same is not signed.
Your acts Yuriy Yur’yevich Mizyuk have been so predictable!
Finally, the address at 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood Herts (or Hertfordshire), UK WD6 1EN in 2007 had been changed since 20 March 2008, why would Mizyuk and his cohorts continue using it when Mizyuk caused the notice of change of address twice to be filed in the Companies House? Why such true and blind preference to hold on to said address –when after all, it does have quite a notorious and shadowy history?
Well Yuriy, some things just go together!
Companies Act 2006 heavily punishes falsification (Section 1138, Part 37 Companies Act 2006). Fraud on the other hand is a serious matter that is dealt with by the UK police.
C. Trading Disclosures. Yuriy Mizyuk’s websites are in alleged violation of the provisions of The Companies (Registrar, Languages and Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2006 and The Companies (Trading Disclosures) Regulation 2008. In conformity with the provisions of these regulations, the company must reveal its company name at the registered office or any other station where it conducts its business including its websites. It shall also specify the place of registration of the service provider, details of the register including the registration number, It shall also specify the company that clients are dealing with. All such information should be indicated in the email footer.
The website of BestEssays.co.uk allegedly failed to comply with these requirements while killer-content dotcom failed to truthfully specify its geographical location. The website 2-Pay-Secure.com albeit specifies the same UK address; it failed to indicate the company to which it belongs. All of these websites fail to reflect the Company registration.
And what about all the other websites, i.e. SuperiorPapers, RushEssay, BestTermPaper, BestEssays, and so on with the litany of alleged fraudulent websites, they all specify a UK address BUT the company indicated thereon is Universal Research Inc.—a company NOT registered under UK Companies Act 2006. With UK office phone number in every website—this only means that Mizyuk and his cohorts are doing business in UK without the requisite registration or is it misrepresentation. Fraud is heavily punished in UK with a maximum of 10 years incarceration both for the main deception and the crime of conspiracy to defraud.
Cyprus is a beautiful country. Why was Cyprus dragged into this. The residential address supplied by Yuriy Mizyuk, Limassol Star Block F2 No. 11 1 Megalou Alexandrou Pyrgos Lemesou Cyprus 4534 is alleged to be fictitious. I am a little rusty in my Greek but the owner of the apartment at Limassol Star Block F2 Capable 4 told me that there is no Yuriy Mizyuk renting in any of her units—there never was! The Limassol Star Block 2 is in the Limassol District and not in 1 Megalou Alexandrou. In fact Megalou Alexandrou have codes ranging from 3041, 4006, and 4180. See link (entries #2719-2721). Pyrgos Lemessou as a municipality (see link) has a code of 4529 or entry 608 and not 4534 as was stated in the incorporation papers (See link—Municipalities_communities) The code 4534 is for Pyrgos Touristiki Periochi District Lemesos (Province/State) (See link—Municipalities_communities, entry #610). So why pick Cyprus as an alleged fictitious residential address for himself? Well, if you recall I mentioned in my second article of one of the websites operated by Mizyuk and his cohorts before—the defunct TopMerchants.net . This website provided“credit card processing, software equipment and merchant accounts.”Sometime in 2006, it branched out to offshore investment in Cyprus. (See FIGURES 6 and 7 posted at the blog).
TopMerchants is now up on the World Wide Web since late March or early April this year. Originally it was registered under 2-Pay-Secure LLC, as registrant from 27 June 2005 to 15 December 2009 (domain dossier). It was out of the world wide web for awhile and now has resurrected after being reassigned to Uniwork, Inc. on 25 March 2009 with net range of: 66.165.113.224 – 66.165.113.255. This will be discussed at length in the next article. It should be added that a number of full email headers forwarded to me by writers of EssayWriters dot net when traced in an email tracer led to IP addresses falling within the net range cited above. The other email headers showed error when placed on an email tracer software. This will be discussed at length in the next article.
Let me reiterate, with the manner by which this entire business (sic) is being run, I can only logically conclude like the rest of you, that registration and incorporation whether in UK or in the US, was merely resorted to superficially to create an illusion. The US customers would be made to believe that the business is solid, legitimate, compliant, and subject to governmental regulation and in the same manner, the UK and Australian customers. Thus, a mirage of reliability. With that kind of illusion, the writers from the other countries would have some degree of assurance that if they work for these websites, they will be paid for their services.
Like an orb spinning spider, the web is enlarged and intricately but viciously woven so that it can ensnare its preys. He is a predator and lies, deception and fraud are his predatory tactics.
Philippines.
A. Registration. The Philippines’ medium of instruction from elementary to the university level is English. The exchange rate in 2007 was PhP48.15 to 1$ http://www.exchange-rates.org/currentRates/P/USD and the Filipino trait of perseverance, resilience and patience in the face of adversities were among the few things exploited by these unscrupulous people. Mizyuk and his cohorts established a company through the assistance of a law office in the Philippines. Thus on 23 August 2007, Uniwork, Inc. was incorporated by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission as a foreign company “engaged in Information and Communications Technology such as but not limited to Business Process Outsourcing, website content, and web development.” FIGURE 8 is a web mask shot of a scanned copy of its Certificate of Incorporation. (See blog for the rest of the incorporation papers of Uniwork, Inc.).
The incorporators are: Yuriy Mizyuk (UKR), Kevin Dean Dockery (US), Albert Kim Ludwig N. Sumaculub (Fil.), Rodolf Armand B. Initorio (Fil.) and Ricky F. Manolong (Fil.). Mizyuk’s subscribed capital is PhP249,960 out of which 62,460 was paid up (approximately $1329 at 47PhP to 1 $). The four others only paid up about PhP10,000 each (or approximately $212. 77). The Corporation Code of the Philippines or B.P. No. 68 requires that majority of the incorporators should be residents of the Philippines and perhaps this was the reason why it was necessary to have three Filipino incorporators out of the 5 incorporators (Section 10, Title II of the Corporation Code of the Philippines).5
B. Registered Office. Based on the incorporation favorite by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission, the registered office is at 24/F Pacific Star Building, Makati, Philippines. Uniwork, Inc. is not located thereat. FIGURES 9, 10 and 11 are posted at the blog show the Pacific Star Building and its wall directory. No stamp of Uniwork, Inc. in the building. A certification to this effect is issued for evidentiary purposes. The Philippine SEC requires that notice be given in case of change in the office address. Mizyuk did it with the Companies House for the UK registered company, Universal Research Ltd. Inc. why could he not do it with the foreign corporation he incorporated in the Philippines.Presently, there are three (3) offices of Uniwork, Inc. (www dot writers.ph). For the first office address, let me use one of the public and official documents in my possession—the domain dossier of bestessaytips dot com. This domain was registered in the name of Yuriy Mizyuk of 11654 Plaza America Reston, while the network whois record is: Uniwork, Inc with address 17F Unit C Makati, Metro Manila with a net range of: 74.127.42.0 – 74.127.42.31 . Let me now supply the lacking information: 17F Unit C Burgundy Corporate Tower at Senator Gil Puyat, Makati, Metro Manila.
There is also another office unit on the 16th floor of the same building housing the marketing employees. These employees write PR articles, some are SEOs and those others who watch the deplorable and traffic for all the websites. The office unit in 17F C houses the customer service agents, the writers’ attend staff and the management officers, i.e. HR, the Country Director, a few Ukrainian women staffs, and at times, Yuriy Mizyuk. The third office is located in 2/F Executive Building, Senator Gil Puyat, Makati, Metro Manila. This third office houses the office-based writers that comprise fraction of the local pool of writers for orders which are posted at the website writers.ph. Some local writers are also web-based. The international (web) pool of writers are those from India, Pakistan, the Philippines, etc. who take orders posted at EssayWriters dot net. All orders from SuperiorPapers, BestEssays, BestEssay dot co dot uk,, RushEssay, WiseTranslations, and other order/commercial websites are posted at EssayWriters dot net for any of the writers’ taking. Full disclosure requirement of existing Philippine laws mandates “all corporations applying for registration before the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission to display the specific address of their principal office in their articles of incorporation” (SEC Circular No. 3, Series of 2006). In case you have not noticed there seems to be no accounting office for payroll and other accounting matters. The salaries of the ‘regular’ employees are paid through the ATMs, while the writers are paid through the usual mode of wire transfer, etc. So the next question that comes to mind is where does the money come from if there is no accounting office in the Philippines. Where else? But certainly not in the UK, US or in Cyprus. I will take you one orb at a time.
C. Writers. The unpaid Filipino writers were left with the blogs and message forums to vent their grievances and heartaches. I wonder at times, how the few Filipino managers and staff can take in bolt the exploitation of their countrymen. How it can be easily shrugged off as ‘higher management prerogative.’ Filipino history is replete of chronicles of injure, of corruption, of abuse and struggles but that notwithstanding, the Filipino spirit continues to illuminate and bedazzle–finding elixir for their economic woes from a deeply ingrained faith in God; thus, poignantly and sublimely rising above the painful strife of survival.
The Filipino employees (supervisory and up in rank) are made to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) upon employment. “A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a legal contract between at least two parties to protect trade secrets,intellectual property, or confidential information shared by one of these parties with the other.”(WiseGeek website).
Generally call center businesses are allowed sure latitude of secrecy by not revealing their situation because these businesses are mainly the support of some US or foreign companies located outside the Philippines. However, I entertain some doubts if the same latitude of confidentiality is applicable to custom essay writing businesses where production facilities or nationalities of its writers (non-support staff positions) is the very information that is sought to be held confidential. And in the same breath, lied about by these websites through its countless PR materials and propaganda machinery tactics.
Any website that falsely advertises and misrepresents the nature, characteristics, qualities or geographical origin of the its goods and services is in violation of the Lanham Act. Thus, applying that principle here, allow me to cite one from the numerous instances as to what would this amount to:“Our writers are MA or PhD holders and native English speakers. They are from America, the UK, and Canada” from the Press Release of one of the websites. What then will transpire when it is proven that the production facility is in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines and that the writers are not from America, the UK, and Canada and not native English speakers? Moreover, the binding effect of the NDAs can no longer be invoked because otherwise, the efficacy of the confidentiality agreement would veil the truth of a fact—a fact which is material and relevant to the issue of false advertisement and/or unfair competition. Albeit proceeding from a legal principle of the obligatory effect of contracts whereby a contract is deemed as binding between the parties thereto; the stipulations of said agreement cannot be held more fine than the provisions of the law.In the U.S., unfair competition is civil in nature where monetary damages are imposed (§ 1125, Title 15, Chapter 22, Subchapter III of the U.S. Code; Restatement of Torts) while in the Philippines, unfair competition is both criminal and civil—as a crime, it is punishable under the Revised Penal Code with imprisonment among others (Article 189, Revised Penal Code of the Philippines). This article on unfair competition is under Chapter 3 on Frauds—because it is committed with the intention of misrepresenting, defrauding and deceiving another.
Something which is all too familiar.
Finally, there is also conspiracy in unfair competition in the Philippines. In the case of Lim, Miave and Chan v. Sec. of DOJ and RTC, Br. 130 docketed as CA-G.R. SP No. 64716, the Court affirmed the DOJ Resolution “Indeed the positions and participation of respondentsx x x indicate their involvement and complicity x x x. The said respondents are responsible officers who held and occupied positions in the company tending to show their knowledge, acquiescence and participation in the said illegal activity”(Lim, et al. vs. Hon. Perez, et al., CA-G.R. SP No. 64716).
The Philippine Foreign Investments Act of 1991 liberalised the entry of foreign investments in the Philippines. The entire business is information technology ( IT) then it falls within a category where special legal concessions are given, for instance, taxes and investor’s visa. Yuriy Mizyuk was granted a Special Investor’s Resident Visa (SIRV) in 2008 subject to the conditions.
Updates
The domain registrations of the different websites per domain dossiers have been reassigned per ‘Net WhoIs’ record to Uniwork, Inc.
BestEssays and SuperiorPapers have modified their respective ‘contacts’ pages to reflect a unique address at 1900 Campus Commons Drive Suite 100 Reston, Va from 12020 Sunrise Valley Drive Suite 100 Reston, Virginia 20191.The address, 1900 Campus Commons Drive Suite 100 Reston, Va is another virtual office.
EssayOnTime’s domain is registered under Authentic Writers Group-John Lewis of 1930 Harrison Street Hollywood, FL 33020 US. With IP address 74.127.42.11 on 17 September 2005 and was reassigned to Uniwork, Inc. on 19 November 2008 net range: 74.127.42.0 – 74.127.42.31 per domain dossier. Its postal address is at 3400 Peachtree Road, Northeast, Suite 1200 Atlanta Georgia 30326. While its postal address section of the website, it claims to be EssayOntime LLC., at bottom at the copyright area of the website, it states EssayOnTime Incorporated–something very basic even for a law student that an incorporated cannot be LLC.

Filed under Small Business Voip Phone Systems by on Dec 13th, 2010. Comment.
With a little forethought and a small time investment (hours not days), you can virtually eliminate the costly and confusing telephone system you have been struggling with or have been putting off purchasing due to SMB budget constraints.
If you’re paying Ma-Bell for a extinct phone line, or have your own confusing pbx switch on state, you’re not making the most of current phone technology. In fact, you may be wasting precious time and money for a system that does not meet your needs and actually takes away revenue.
Maybe you are paying a full-time employee to do nothing but manage the “phone system”, or worse, heaping the responsibility on a part-time additional duty basis to an employee who could otherwise focus on THEIR job.
You may have already joined the quarter million other home subscribers of the Magic jack community. Now it’s time to peruse how this can be applied to your small or medium business.
There are links to reviews of the magic jack included with this article, but in summary:
FEATURES:
- It’s cheap, costs include $40 for the device and 1st year of phone service, $19.95/yr after that
- Being a USB storage arrangement(like a thumb drive), it carries it’s own software and installs when inserted in the USB slot
- You can either make calls using a headset/mic or a primitive telephone (cordless phones & fax machines)
- It comes with “voicemail” forwarded to any email account you wish
- you come by email notifications when unique VMs arrive
- Although it’s not a customary phone ine with 911 they provide 911 where YOU control the address, so you can state the 911 for ANY station in the US (got a sick mother? )
- Nationwide toll-free is included and international can be had for a price or…
- Send a Magic Jack to anyone you want to call and who you want to call YOU and it’s free WORLDWIDE!
- You can migrate your unusual landline phone number, maybe your cell number not always, or get a new phone number*
- ALL of this depends on a broadband connection (I recommend Always on like Cable, NOT DSL), and a computer/laptop.
UNFEATURES
- Call quality (QoS) resembles a cell phone, in both sound quality and dropped calls.
- Customer service is basically their FAQs online and that’s about it.
- The device is bigger than other USB devices, but has a dongle to get it out of the way of your other USB plugs
- One yank on the phone cord and “POP”! out comes the MJ
- limited local phone numbers means long distance numbers in some locations
- Ordering the service online or over the phone or using the MJ program can be confusing
* The “local” phone numbers are not always a local call for your city, for instance in Montana the ONLY number they have are local to Helena, great if you live in the capital not so great for the rest of the set.
The savvy entrepreneur has already seen some openings with the above list for cutting costs. Let’s look at a few ways you can invent the most of this new technology for your business.
We’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg, but here are some cost effective uses:
HARDWARE
- Connect your Home & Work offices
- Virtual Office employee(s) and VAs
- Key Customer and teleconference training
- Anyone who travels for your company
IMPLEMENTATION
- Fax
- Small pbx-like features
- Integration with other tech i.e. Virtual PBX systems
First, HARDWARE solutions.
By simply purchasing the Magic Jack device at $40 ea. you can save tons on the recurring phone bill.
1 – Connect home & work offices, buy a MJ device for home and work, for anyone who commutes. After the initial $40 you get 1 year of uninterrupted calling from work to home etc. try out call forwarding thru a virtual pbx
2 – Virtual Office employees or VAs you contract with can now maintain voice contact with no cost to THEM if you simply buy them a MJ device, it’s up to you if you ask for it wait on at the end of the contract or give it to them for a job well done.
3 – Key customer care and Teleconferencing or training This encompasses many areas but essentially it’s a relate of the above, for a nominal $40 charge you can ensure your key clients and business partners stay connected again at no fee for them. It’s so easy to use they really won’t have to wade through a tech manual to start calling you. If you host training over the phone/online through .rdp connections etc. you can send one of the MJs to them ahead of training (perhaps with any manuals) and ask them to call on your $40 dime. Especially if you will have ongoing training with this client. Again, you can decide to just give it to them as a gift. $40 isn’t much when you consider the note of other training materials you use.
4 – The Road Warriors friend Having spent half my life on the road, I can tell you if I were doing that kind of work now, I would buy the MJ without even thinking about it. Being able to call “Local” to my home or the US when overseas for a year for $20 you bet I’m on board. Just imagine, you accept to the hotel (with broadband access of course) late at night, and just want to touch foul with home or the office, now you plug in MJ into your laptop and before you can unwrap the baby soap bar, you’re ready to make or receive calls from home FOR FREE minus $20 initial fee 
If you are already paying for cell phones for the travelers maybe you can cut down on some of the primetime minutes by simply buying the MJ, or better yet, give the MJ to them for personal calls and encourage strict business ONLY calls on the cell phone wiht no excuses for wasted minutes chatting with family etc.
Now that’s only what you can do by being nice enough to purchase MJ devices for everyone, now let’s explaore some of the cool things that can be set up on the USAGE/Implementation side of the house:
1 – FAX Although officially not supported yet, key word being “YET”, faxing can be done from anywhere again as a local call with no special setup, just plug in and send. Again, you might contemplate integrating with a virtual pbx system for a smoother operation especially if you wish to offer fax support capability.
2 – Private Branch Exchange (private telephone switchboard) although it’s far from a PBX or virtual PBX system, the magic jack will allow 3-way calling and take voicemails. Once you have the MJ phone number you can marry it with a virtual pbx and get full-featured use of a pbx with the orders or important calls coming to your MJ phone.
If you have set up your business to be on autopilot, send a MJ to your order takers and Cust Benefit VAs and let the calls come in with no per dinky charges coming back to you.
3 – Integrate The most effective use of technology means marry-ing or integrating several solutions to build a full-featured robust solution.
If you aren’t familiar with virtual-PBXs look into using one like onebox, for service starting around $10/mo., prices go up depending on usage, you get 1-800 access and the same basic features that a geeky full-time phone switch programmer at your company can create, with less cost and hassle.
- Have calls routed within the PBX to various voicemails, but more importantly following the Tim Ferris method of doing things, you can have them follow YOU or any of your employees and VAs, no matter what phone or time of day they will be at that phone number, giving the illusion of 24/7 customer support.
Routing can also include having the really important calls directed to the MJ map number/voice mail so you get ONLY the most pressing calls, again, from anywhere in the world (With broadband access).
Well, this is again just brushing the surface of what the world of VoIP and devices like the MagicJack can garner for the SMB world, for more info please visit http://squatchtech.ning.com and follow the articles relating to small business technology use.
