Website2Share, a chain-recruitment scheme charging between $1 and $50, operates without disclosing its owners on its website. Domain registration records for website2share.com, established on March 15, 2016, identify Bystrik Stefak as the owner. The company claims to be a "legal certified company based in the UK" and provides a corporate address there.
Further investigation reveals the UK address is a mailbox rental service used by numerous businesses, strongly suggesting Website2Share lacks any physical presence in the United Kingdom. Registering a company in the UK costs approximately £20 and requires a UK mailing address, making the provided corporate location appear deceptive. Stefak, who is reportedly based in Slovakia according to his FutureNet profile, previously promoted the Get Paid Social recruitment scheme. Before that, he was an affiliate with Wazzub, a failed search portal MLM. He is currently also an affiliate with FutureNet, which recently launched an ad-credit Ponzi scheme.
Website2Share offers no retailable products or services. Affiliates can only market Website2Share membership itself. Upon joining, affiliates purchase advertising packages and are then eligible to participate in the attached MLM income opportunity. The compensation plan centers on recruiting new members who also purchase packages ranging from $1 (Bronze) to $50 (Platinum and Business). Direct referral commissions vary by package: 25 cents for Bronze, $4 for Silver, $8 for Gold, and $20 for Platinum and Business.
Residual referral commissions are paid through a unilevel compensation structure. This system places personally recruited affiliates on level 1, their recruits on level 2, and so on. Commissions are paid on investments made by affiliates within this structure. The plan uses a pass-up method where affiliates receive 50% of commissions from half of the affiliates recruited by their downline, extending down through infinite levels. These residual commissions match the direct referral commission rates. Joining Website2Share requires purchasing at least one advertising package.
