Speak asiaBefore the regulators went gangbusters on them, Speak Asia were essentially producing surveys nobody had commissioned and paying out members from existing and new member’s subscription fees. Members were able to make a paltry $7 USD and $20 USD a month by filling out surveys, but the bulk of revenue generated by Speak Asia’s panelist was paid via the recruitment of others to the company. Post regulatory investigations, Speak Asia has sought to re-invent itself as a consumer portal. Looking at their new website, first and foremost is the introduction of something called ‘Yug’.
As far as I can tell Yug have no operational history in any other market around the world. Infact the only thing I could find on them were questions from Speak Asia members wondering who they were. Not having heard of them myself, I can only assume that Yug itself is a rebranding of third party manufactured products ordered from China (or somewhere similar). Currently on Speak Asia’s website there are only two products for sale, a 32″ LED TV going for $428 USD and a 22″ LCD TV for $225 USD. Both televisions are Yug branded and as such nothing is known about the quality of the product or accuracy of the suggested retail prices given. Being third party branded products nothing is stopping Speak Asia from just making up any old prices and publishing them to their website.
