View Full Version : Matrix Agency conflict of interest

I was looking at the information at the Matrix Agency, and there seems to be other motives behind the site. They are selling banner ads which on the surface is just fine, but then look at what they are using the proceeds for.

http://matrixagency.com/advertise.php

As we are not funded by the Government as the BBB is we will retain 25% of all advertising profits to retain the utmost quality of MatrixAgency.com. The other 75% of all advertising profits will go towards a fund that will be distributed to various random matrix sites that have been approved by our advocacy. We will then purchase spots on those particular spots electing for the cash equivalent each time. These funds will go back into the pot to purchase more spots. All funds will be evenly distributed, 5 sites at a time through our list of verified sites without repeating a site until all sites have been funded.

This creates an additional conflict of interest because of their new interests at stake. It appears that behind the scenes they really are FOR PROFIT. Either they plan to keep the profits at some point in time, or they are doing this to fund the auto cycle programs that they have. Either way, this creates a NEW conflict of interest since they have only approved 4 matrix sites, and 2 are owned by the owners of the Matrix Agency.

Bigstar. Do you have the lawyer's email address?

I think this site is surly doing something for his own profit.

And just for there information the B.B.B. is NOT funded by the goverment, it is funded by the merchants that are Members.

Looks like they need to do a little more research on their statments.

We have heard a lot about matrix agency and how they CLAIM that they don't have any conflit of interests at all. They also CLAIM that they are running the agency ONLY to better the matrix community and that they care about ALL customers and ALL matrix owners.

We all know that BigStar also known on some forums as Agent|Star is one of their agents. He has claimed there is NO conflict of interest and he is doing his work for ALL sites. If that is TRUELY the case, then why does he find the need to bash all NEW matrix sites. In a few forums (see links below) he is bashing new sites and claiming that they are bad for the community. But I ask this, I thought you were for ALL matrix owners?

If you want to see the truth, just look at these links.

This is exactly why I have always been skeptical of Matrix Agency. There is a hidden agenda. The only way I MIGHT be less skeptical is if it was run by people that have nothing at stake in matrix sites, either as a customer or as an owner.
