Dave Bennett (DXPowerTeam)

I hate to waste one second addressing Dave Bennett and his DXPowerTeam "sales associates", but in an emailing he just sent out to his affiliates (yes, we have it), he incites a call-to-arms against Mazu in a last-ditch act of desperation to damage our reputation and business.

Taken directly from his emailing....

"I'm having a ton of fun diving back into things. I decided to crank out an anti-Mazu vendetta...."

We have the entire email if you're interested. Just ask. Dave's really more like an annoying insect that keeps coming back than he is any real threat, but since he's made it personal, we're ready to tell our story.

Here's our Dave Bennett experience....

1) Late in 2004, Mazu learned of Electronic Currency Exchanging through a neutral party.

2) The exchange was called DXGold, and later changed its name to DXInOne (DXIO).

3) There was no training program in the marketplace at that time that explained the business to people. We were the first to create one. We are Marketers by trade and knew that people would pay for a course that showed them how to make money.

4) The Mazu.com Original Electronic Currency Exchange Program was a huge seller, people loved the business, and everyone involved was making money.

5) At that time, Dave Bennett ran a small usergroup known as DXPowerTeam. They didn't sell any formal program, but Dave charged each Member $15 per month to belong to the group. They talked about strategies, tips and tricks of the business, and prophecized about what it one day could be. That was pretty much it.

6) As Mazu began to make a fortune bringing people into DXIO by selling a front-end training package, still the only one of its kind, Dave Bennett began to express his rage and "sour grapes" attitude many times on calls, in emails, and in closed forums. I imagine he wasn't making any real money due to his lack of marketing experience, and was jealous of our success and our profits. People told us as much. The reality was that we thought of a great idea, we were making a ton of money from it, and Dave was livid. Somehow he felt like he owned the entire business model and process, even though it was open to anyone. He even spoke on the phone like he owned it.

7) He attacked us on the phone and by email and made it clear that he felt this was his baby and he wasn't going away quietly. He knows he talked to many of us here at Mazu and sent us nasty emails, and if he says anything different he's lying and knows it.

8) He began to use his DXPowerTeam role to voice his frustrations and incite his own personal anti-Mazu agendas and many of his affiliates, though not all, bought into it. We have many eyes and ears in the industry and became aware of it all.

9) Dave and his cronies were annoying, but that was it. They never really affected our sales and they simply more or less went away when they realized they couldn't do anything to us.

10) Ironically, several other copycats were surfacing. This was an entirely new breed. They were nasty....taking out anti-Mazu ads, creating anti-Mazu websites, and writing sales copy that literally attacked Mazu's integrity that was never questioned before....all for the sole purpose of selling their own knock-off e-currency programs by making us look bad.

11) Sure, the new competitors such as Gary Jezorski, Warren Barnes, and Zachary Boyd made a few bucks by riding our coattails, but they had to stoop to a pretty sleazy level to do it. Greed in this case really brought out some snakes, the likes of which we'd never seen before.

12) Meanwhile, the e-currency business was changing dramatically. Throughout 2005, the owners of the exchange made changes almost daily, they changed the dynamics of the entire business, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to remove any real profit from the system.

13) We had other businesses succeeding and other irons in the fire, so we were comfortable riding out the challenges of DXIO, but many of these other characters, including Bennett, had DXIO and that was it. I imagine they were beginning to get a little scared as news of the state of the e-currency business began to populate most public forums. This became obvious as their smear tactics increased.

14) Dave's answer was to finally create his own e-currency program. He's a perfectionist and it took him a long time. He spent a fortune creating security measures for his site because rumor has it he's a bit of a paranoid. The result was a $750 program, the most expensive on the Net, that for the most part failed miserably. More sour grapes....

15) Dave became quiet for awhile at this point, and late in 2005, with DXIO pretty much at a standstill, Mazu decided it could no longer market a stand-alone e-currency training program and feel good about it. People couldn't get their profits out and we wanted to represent a business where they could.

16) When we officially exited the e-currency game earlier this year, none of these knock-off artists and competitors were coming clean, even though they knew people weren't making money that they could remove as real, liquid profit. They didn't care. Yes, Dave Bennett is in this group too! He is still driving people to his course and to DXIO to this day.

17) Today Mazu has moved on to many other lucrative businesses because we are realists. If a business is not producing real profit, we are going to move on. We've made the transition well, we're making more money than ever before, and we're doing it in businesses that we can feel good recommending to our affiliates, colleagues and site visitors.

18) Dave's more livid than ever, he still wants you to believe that DXIO is this amazing thing that is working great, and it's going to be even more amazing in the future.

One thing is for sure. Somebody is lying. Either DXIO is the greatest business of all time as Dave and others would have you believe, or it's nearly impossible to get any real profit out of it today and that's all people are talking about. YOU be the judge. See for yourself!!

Visit www.dx4all.net. It's the biggest DXIO review site on the entire Internet and it is completely unbiased. The site boasts 17,000 members in an open-forum environment. It's a mix of our people, Dave's people, and everybody independent. If Dave's right, then those forums will be packed with people telling how great e-currency exchanging is TODAY and those posts will be current. If Mazu is telling you the truth, those forums will be full of people who are frustrated, who can't get $100 per month in profit out, and who have been waiting for any sign of positive change for a long time.

You be the judge. In the mean time, here are a few of Dave's sites and sites that his affiliates operate.

One final note, I don't believe Dave actually thinks he is doing anything wrong. This is someone who actually thinks that a business that is virtually shutdown is going to rewrite history. Yes, he's that big of a fanatic. That's not dishonest, it just downright scary.

You have to wonder about somebody who goes after someone over some self-admitted personal "vendetta", don't you? Isn't there something a little wrong there?

Here's our take on the whole thing....

DAVE BENNETT = SOUR GRAPES = PERSONAL MAZU VENDETTA = Get a life Dave!

And finally, if you are a DXPowerTeam member who got his recent mailing and you're even thinking of participating in his smear campaign nonsense, be forwarned. You are liable. We have his list.
