Shaboxx Review

There's no info on the Shaboxx website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Shaboxx website domain (“shaboxx.info”) was registered on the 15th of August 2015, however the domain registration is set to private.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who's running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

The Shaboxx Product Line

Shaboxx doesn't have retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market Shaboxx affiliate membership itself.

Bundled with Shaboxx affiliate membership is really a Shaboxx streaming box.

Shaboxx claim their streaming box enables users to ‘watch your preferred movies, TV shows, live sporting events, etc.‘

Joining Shaboxx

Affiliate membership with Shaboxx is associated with the purchase of a $60 position in the company's compensation plan.

Conclusion

We see a lot of dubious marketing claims in MLM, but what stood out if you ask me particularly with Shaboxx was the next claim from their affiliates:

On the possibility I'd missed the US government legalizing commercial piracy, I ran a couple of searches to get at underneath of the deregulation claims.

Turns out there was some talk of deregulating cable zones to promote fiber-optic competition, but that's about it.

Any claims that the US government deregulated the cable industry to guide piracy streaming services are complete hogwash.

Shaboxx's compensation plan is as dubious as their piracy box, which sees affiliates pay a fee and then receives a commission on chain-recruitment.

Retail sales are not mentioned anywhere in the Shaboxx compensation plan material, meaning 100% of the commissions paid out are sourced from Shaboxx affiliates.

Which additionally raises questions of a $60 in, $300 unregistered securities offering being made.

In terms of Shaboxx's piracy box, similar boxes created a tiny stir on the market early to mid last year. The various MLM piracy box opportunities have since mostly died off, upon realization that selling commercial piracy is really a pretty limited market.

Not to mention a company opportunity centered around dubious claims that selling access to pirated content is somehow legal.

Love or hate the current distribution models for licensed content, underneath line is that companies like Shaboxx market access to pirated content.

This, combined with chain-recruitment “investment” style compensation plans, is approximately as definately not legitimate MLM as you are able to get.
