Borrow from your parents or grandparents???

 
Mmmm, I keep finding strange (or even worrying) things on Dubli....
 
Just came across this:
 
FAQ Dublinetwork
http://www.dubliauktion.com/faq/faq-network.php
 
At the bottom of the page it says:
-------------------------------
Ich habe kein Geld für den Einstieg ins Network Marketing
Glauben Sie an diese Ausrede selbst? Dann beschaffen Sie sich das Geld! Leihen Sie es sich von Ihren Eltern oder Großeltern. Wie sieht es mit dem "Rauchen" aus? Verzichten Sie auf ein paar Bierkästen. Angenommen jemand bietet Ihnen Ihr Traumhaus für 500,00 Euro zum Kauf an. Würden Sie das Geld auftreiben?
Es ist Ihre Zukunft, sie liegt in Ihren Händen - nur zupacken, dass müssen Sie selbst - Sie haben das Geld ! 
-------------------------------
 
Translated, it's:
-------------------------------
I have no money to get into Network Marketing
Do you believe that excuse yourself? Then get the money! Borrow it from your parents or grandparents. How about smoking? Give up a couple of beer crates. Suppose someone offers you your dream home for 500,00 euros. Would you get the money?
It's your future, it is in your hands - you only need to grab it yourself - You have the money!
-------------------------------
 
... mmm... If you don't have the money to get into the Dubli Network just borrow it from your parents or grandparents? Who exactly would give such ridiculous advice? Is it just an independent Business Associate? 
 
Let's try to find out.... when clicking on the "STARTSEITE" button (upper left),  this dubliauktion.com site will revert to "preisklopper.de" (price-beater) , displaying what looks like a customized site for a Dubli BA/Partner. At the bottom it says: "Marketing solution byDubLi ®"
 
("startseite" is german for "start-site" or "home")
 
However, "preisklopper.de" is actually the current online representative for the "Dubli Futura GmbH" company, that was presented in a Nov 2006 Dubli Network Newsletter. This newsletter is hard to find nowadays, but luckily is still present at the website of a Danish Dubli 'Certified Partner' at dublitrading.com:
 
http://www.dublitrading.com/dubli_newsletter_latest_all.htm:
Newsletter November 2006
DubLi is open for business!
...
The co-operation with M&M Distribution and the advanced shop system is another important component in DubLi's foundation. Together they have founded the DubLi Futura Company, in which DubLi has the controlling interest.
...
------------------------------------------------
 
We can find a little more about "Dubli Futura" on a German "company information" site: 
 
http://www.firmendb.de/firmen/235249.php:
DubLi Futura GmbH 
Adresse:
Fanny-Zobel-Strasse 11
12435 Berlin
DEUTSCHLAND
 
Homepage:
www.preisklopper.de
-------------------------------
 
Here we see the clear relationship between Dubli-Futura and the "preisklopper.de" site.
 
Btw, this Dubli-Futura seems to have the same address as the 'old'(?) Dubli GmbH., like it is stated at e.g:
http://www.dublinorthwest.com/dublinetwork:
DubLi.com GmbH
Fanny-Zobel-Straße 11
12435 Berlin, Germany
-------------------------------
 
Also, the Dubli-Futura.com webdomain is owned by one of Dubli's companies:
 
http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/dubli-futura.com:
[REGISTRANT]
    Organisation Name: Lenox Resources LLC
    Contact Name:      Andreas Kusche
    Address Line 1:    Trolley Square, Suite 20 c
       City / Town:       Wilmington
        Zip / Postcode:    DE 19806
    Country:           US
-------------------------------
 
Why does that adress look familiar...?
Ah, here's why:
 
http://www.dublinetwork.com/1-15/
DubLi Logistics LLC (Logistics North America)
Trolley Square, Suite 20 c
Wilmington, DE 19806
USA
-------------------------------
 
btw. this dublinetwork.com page also mentions a Lenox company, but this one seems to have moved to Germany again:
Lenox Logistik & Service GmbH (Logistics Europe)
Fanny - Zobel - Straße 5
12435 Berlin
Germany
-------------------------------
 
All in all it's a somewhat convoluted search, but it seems we can conclude: 
dubliauktion.com = preisklopper.de = dubli-futura GmbH = Lenox Resources LLC/Lenox Logistics GmbH = owned by Dubli...
 
Okay, and now let's look again what Dubli's advice seems to be for people who in reality don't have the money to participate in Dubli's "business opportunity", but from whom Dubli apparently would love to extract some nice $$$ anyway?

I have no money to get into Network Marketing
Do you believe that excuse yourself? 
Then get the money! 
Borrow it from your parents or grandparents.

Right.... not only does this advice suck, it also seems to be addressed to very young people...
 
Way to go Dubli, you have outdone yourself on this one.
