My PC Business, established with a privately registered domain on June 20, 2012, operates a multi-level marketing scheme for cloud backup services while obscuring its ownership and leadership. The company provides no public information about who runs it.
Its website offers little beyond a signup page and legal disclaimers. Domain registration data remains private. A person named Holly Bowen published content in the company's knowledge base. No public record exists detailing her identity or role within the organization. This lack of transparency is a common warning sign in MLM operations.
The company sells only one product: access to My PC Backup, a cloud-based subscription service. My PC Business acts solely as a reseller. It neither makes nor owns the backup technology itself. Customers pay between $8.95 and $12.95 monthly for the service. Existing My PC Backup users can avoid paying twice, but they must still join My PC Business first.
Commissions drive the money flow. Members recruit others to buy My PC Backup subscriptions. The first two sales earn $20 each. Sales three and four pay $30 apiece. Sales five and six jump to $40. Every sale from seven onward pays $50. The company also offers referral commissions two levels deep: $10 when a recruit makes their first sale, and another $10 when that recruit's recruit makes their first sale.
Signing up for My PC Business requires no membership fee or startup inventory.
But the compensation structure raises questions about the existence of genuine retail customers outside the MLM network. Everyone joining My PC Business needs an account before they can purchase anything. This arrangement suggests most revenue comes from distributors buying the service for themselves, not from independent retail customers. An MLM structure depending on internal consumption over external retail sales often points to a recruitment scheme.
My PC Backup itself has legitimate retail customers who buy the service directly. Within the My PC Business framework, however, the requirement for members to sign up before any purchase implies the company generates most income by recruiting people into its system, rather than selling a product consumers seek out on their own.
The combined absence of ownership details and a compensation plan focused on enrolling new members to buy a service they might not otherwise purchase paints a clear picture. Consumers should approach My PC Business with extreme caution.
