Is WAZZUB a scam?
You Decide...
First, we have to say that we take every comment serious and even critical posts are welcome. This is a free world andW.A.Z.Z.U.B is an open-minded community. We do not expect that everybody loves what we do, because we understand that it’s impossible to please everyone. But we do expect the same respect that we show for every person we meet.
Unfortunately your comment is not just critical but extremely insulting. Nonetheless we invested time to read and understand your arguments and it seems that you draw some wrong conclusions from the info that you found on the Internet.
1. Whois search for wazzub.com/wazzub.info
Your statement:
“We should note that the domain expires around the same time as this site supposedly launches”
Well, the Expiration date of a domain shows for how long the registrant paid in advance for this service. For example, one of your registered domains, kooiii.com expires Oct 18, 2012. We would never conclude from this that you will run out of business on that day.
2. Scam search
Your statement:
“and we find there are indeed reports against this company spanning several years”
You can easily see that the company names are different and that this thread is dated back in 2006. None of the data provided there correlate with our data. The only post that tries to create a connection to our company is the newest one, posted a few days ago by a user named “Kooiii“ (just a wild guess that this is you).
3. Company registration
Your statement:
“this returns further confirmation that this is indeed a scam as the registration data does not match the company profile being promoted”
There is one official source for info about companies registered in Oregon and that is the website of the Secretary of State of Oregon. In our officially filed Articles of Incorporation (Section II) is written:
“The purpose for which this corporation is organized is to engage in any business or activity not forbidden by law…”
Where ever you found the babysitting and laundry stuff, if you reveal the source to us, we will contact them to ask for correction.
In the end you named our project a “definite scam” and give us a bad name. For sure, this is going too far and it is unlawful in many jurisdictions. However, we believe that you’ve just misinterpreted some things and that your post is not atry to promote your own project http://www.kooiii.com.
The “Kooiii Business Resources and Social Community” seems to be a nice concept and we wish you a lot of success with it. If you strictly follow your own rules we assume that you are a fair businessman and you will post our answer in addition to your post about W.A.Z.Z.U.B, where ever you have posted it.
If you could stop your polemic style we would be happy to discuss any further question you might have about our project.
And, believe it or not, you are still welcome to become a member of the W.A.Z.Z.U.B Family; together we could activate the Power of “We”.
Our best wishes and a happy New Year!
The W.A.Z.Z.U.B Team

The Truth about WAZZUB or is Coca Cola really a scam?
Dear WAZZUB Family,
There are some articles out there on the Internet that state some “Facts” about our project and/or our company and then draw conclusions, most of them wrong. We do not have the time to answer on every single statement but we would like to give some general answers as follows:
1. Is WAZZUB a real company or a fake?
WAZZUB is a real company registered under the laws of Oregon, USA and running its headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. We are an early-stage startup company that is still before launch of their main website. That means, we are still in development and many things will change during pre-launch.
2. Is your “Headquarters” a real office or just virtual?
Our Las Vegas office is a real office. Right now (Mon, Jan 16, 12:30pm) there are 5 WAZZUB Team members present and working. We are using the services from Regus, that means, we have our own office space but we share receptionist area, conference rooms, kitchen and other services with other companies.
Again, we are an early-stage startup and until we earn “real” money after launch we are on a budget. There is no need to invest into a fully owned office right now.
3. What about your registered office – there are a lot of companies registered at the same address - why?
For tax reasons most U.S. based companies have their companies registered in a different state than their HQ is located. There are special companies offering services as a registered agent but they are not involved in the actual business of the company. The name of our registered Agent is Cathy Halverson and she is the registered agent for several hundred companies. That does not mean that our company is related to any other company that is registered at this address and for sure it is no sign that we try to hide something or that we are a scam.
By the way, the most famous “registered office” address is used by more than 200,000 businesses. This address has its own page at Wikipedia. Check it out:
For example, Coca Cola is registered there, as well as General Motors, Google and Verizon. Nobody would conclude that they are hiding something or that they try to scam people. It is our goal to make WAZZUB one of the big brands on the Internet and, following the advice of our CPA and attorneys, we set up our company structure as it should be – right from the beginning.
4. Why did the data on the Whois database for wazzub.com and wazzub.info change twice within a few months?
When we found the perfect name for our project – WAZZUB – back in June 2011, the company was not yet founded; therefore one of our main investors registered the domains under his company name. After our company, GIT Global Investments Inc., was registered, we changed the Whois data including the address of our registered office. Now we opened our HQ and so we changed the Whois data to our operational address.
5. Who is the owner of your company?
WAZZUB is owned by several investors. Right now they are building the team of directors and managers that will run our project after launch. There will be a page with all the important members of our team after the team is completed. Our Marketing Director Gee DaCosta is not one of the initiators; he is the team member that is most important now - during pre-launch.
6. You can find some info about Gee and his history in the MLM and Network Marketing industry. Is he just hopping from business to business?
WAZZUB is not a network marketing company and it is not MLM. But we needed the skills of an experienced online marketer and Gee is the perfect match - and WAZZUB is the perfect business for Gee. He is very happy that he has found his “final” business and we know that WAZZUB will change the life of many, many others who are still on the search for the perfect internet opportunity.
7. You claim to have already invested more than $2 million into WAZZUB. Why is your pre-launch website and members’ area so “simple”?
The money has been invested into the main project, not into the pre-launch pages. We are totally overwhelmed by the hundreds of thousands of members signing up. Unfortunately, this huge traffic caused some “challenges” like a lack of server capacity and more than 350,000 verification and password emails to be sent out. Most of our bugs and glitches are caused by the huge number of members that like our project.
If we would have a pre-launch website with a lot of flash and video content it would slow down our servers dramatically. That is why we just kept it simple.
Our state-of-the-art home page that will be launched on April 9 is a totally different story. Secured by several pending patents, it will be a totally new way to surf the Internet.
8. But there are so many search engines and home pages on the Internet. Is WAZZUB just another useless search engine?
Oh, WAZZUB is so much more than a search engine. Imagine this: you start your Internet browser and find yourself on the perfect home page. There is a powerful search engine, the latest news exactly on those topics you are interested in,messages from your friends and family, the best deals on the Internet and useful links to your favorite websites. Imagine receiving valuable gifts and bonuses, just for using this powerful tool as your personal home page.
9. You promise to pay a lot of money to your pre-launch members. Where is that money coming from?
We will monetize our website exactly the same way as companies like Google, Facebook, AOL and Yahoo monetize their websites - by displaying ads and special offers. The big difference is that we share profits with our pre-launch members. 50% of all profits will be paid to our pre-launch members just by joining for free and setting up our page as their home page.
10. Is there a risk when I join WAZZUB?
We keep your data safe and never share it with third parties. You never have to pay us a single $ to get your share of our profits. Your only risk is investing time to invite other members. If nobody likes our final page we would earn no money and there would be no profits to share…BUT…
GUESS WHAT? - We know for sure that won’t happen!

Your team WAZZUB____________________________Dear WAZZUB Family,
First we have to say “THANK YOU!” to the members that have tested our new WAZZUB Community.
The good news first: No major issues appeared! We tested from different browsers and all testers were able to register, to verify, to login, to set up their profile and to test the different features like making friends, posting messages, creating clubs and chatting through our instant messenger.
All testers love the design and the functions, but we found some small glitches that need to be fixed before we are able to open the doors of our WAZZUB Community for all of our members.
Our Programmers just reported that it will need up to 48 hours to fix everything. Having in mind that FB shut our page down less than a week ago and that we had our unexpected down time due to the name server issue, it is really amazing that we will have our own WAZZUB Community within a short time frame of less than 10 days.
We know that for some of you it feels as if WAZZUB is a part of your life since years, but to tell the truth it is just 6 weeks ago since our official pre-launch started.
Within 6 weeks we have experienced 3 downtimes (11 days in total), a hacker attack, a flood of scam accusations and FB shutting our communication down. But look what we have achieved: more than 20,000 followers on Twitter, 1.7 million members and our website is listed among the Top 1000 of the world’s most visited websites.
There is only one reason for this outstanding success: Our Members!
Thank you for your patience, your support and your pro-activity. We are proud to have you by our side; 1.7 million members from more than 180 countries.
With Your Success in Mind,
Your WAZZUB Team
