Mvive Shocked and Disappointed by SEC Suspension
Las Vegas, Nevada - (MARKET WIRE) - March 13, 2008, Mvive, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MVIV), (Frankfurt 4M1, WKN: A0M5WL), is shocked and disappointed by the recent allegations of the SEC Microcap Fraud Working Group but has pledged to assist the Commission in any way possible to ensure that all information concerning the Company is accurate and adequate.
Mr. Roy Choi, President, stated "Quite frankly we are shocked by these allegations. We have started an investigation into the issues raised by the Commission and are evaluating our legal options with respect to both the allegations and any damages the Company may suffer, as a result of this suspension. These issues appear to relate to issues with the incorporation of Amazing Technologies Corp. which subsequently changed its name to Mvive, Inc. and acquired Mvive Media Group Inc., now its wholly owned operating subsidiary, and as such, have nothing to do with our current mobile marketing operations, business and management. Our shareholders can be certain that we will aggressively seek to rectify any harm committed against our Company."
Mvive will provide continuous updates on its investigations and shareholders are encouraged to check the Company's website regularly.
Q: What have LITL, GGTS and MVIV got in common?
A: Patrick Smyth aka marlonbrando
A: Ocean Eclipse
A: All suspended by SEC due to fraudulant activity
Sometimes I get lucky... sold off my position in this one a couple weeks back.
Holy crap! This is the second pinky I've gotten into that has had this happen.
Crap!!
SEC Suspends Trading of 26 Companies to Combat Corporate Hijackings
Actions Are First From Enforcement Division's Recently-Formed Microcap Fraud Working Group
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2008-41
Washington, D.C., March 13, 2008 - The Securities and Exchange Commission today suspended trading in the securities of 26 companies that appear to have usurped the identity of defunct or inactive publicly-traded corporations using a tactic known as corporate hijacking. The Commission ordered the suspensions because of questions regarding the adequacy and accuracy of information pertaining to their status as publicly-traded companies.
The trading suspensions are part of the SEC's stepped-up effort to address fraud involving the securities of non-exchange traded, or microcap, securities. These are the first actions resulting from the recent formation of the Enforcement Division's microcap fraud working group. In March 2007, the Commission suspended trading in the securities of 35 companies as part of the SEC's Anti-Spam Initiative, which targets potentially fraudulent spam e-mail.
"Microcap investing involves thousands of companies and hundreds of thousands of investors. Keeping this tier of the market honest and free of fraud is every bit as important to investor confidence as our regulation of the world's largest companies and exchanges," said SEC Chairman Christopher Cox. "These trading suspensions demonstrate the SEC's intensified commitment to eradicating microcap fraud. The trading suspensions, and the actions that will follow, should leave no doubt that the Commission will use all of the weapons in its arsenal to combat those who threaten the integrity of our markets."
Linda Chatman Thomsen, Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement, added, "Hijackings are a burgeoning problem, and a type which the Division's microcap fraud working group was created to address. Today's trading suspensions are squarely aimed at putting the market on notice about the risks associated with acquiring non-operational or 'shell' companies, and with investing in microcaps. This is a first step. We will continue to vigorously investigate those involved."
In conducting the corporate hijacking, certain persons appear to have incorporated each of the 26 companies using the same name as a then defunct or inactive publicly-traded corporation. For identification purposes, each class of an issuer's publicly-traded securities is assigned a ticker symbol by Nasdaq Reorganization and a CUSIP number by the Standard & Poor's CUSIP Bureau. These same persons appear to have usurped the CUSIP numbers and ticker symbols assigned to the defunct or inactive corporations' publicly-traded securities for use by the newly-incorporated entities. They then appear to have obtained new CUSIP numbers and ticker symbols in lieu of the old ones, also for use of the newly incorporated entities, by apparently representing falsely that they were duly authorized officers, directors, or agents of the original publicly-traded corporation.
The trading suspensions will last for 10 business days. The trading suspensions commenced today at 9:30 a.m. ET and terminate at 11:59 p.m. ET on March 27, 2008.
The 26 companies whose trading was suspended today are: Andros Isle Development Corp. (AVPJ); Asante Networks, Inc. (ASTN); Beluga Composites Corporation (BGCC); Cobra Energy Inc. (CBNG); Complete Care Medical, Inc. (CCMI); Disability Access Corporation (DBYC); El Alacran Gold Mine Corp. (EAGM); Extreme Fitness Inc. (EXTF); Gaming Transactions Inc. (GGTS); Global Equity Fund, Inc. (GEQF); HealthSonix Inc. (HSXI); IQ Webquest, Inc. (IQWB); JSX Energy Inc. (JSXG); Kensington Industries, Inc. (KSGT); Kingslake Energy Inc. (KGLJ); L International Computers Inc. (LITL); Let's Talk Recovery Inc. (LKRV); Mobilestream, Inc. (MSRM); Mvive, Inc. (MVIV); Native American Energy Group Inc. (NVMG); Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. (PZG); Regal Technologies Inc. (RGTN); Remington Ventures, Inc. (REMV); Straight Up Brands, Inc. (STRU); Transglobal Oil Corp. (TRGO); and Turquoise Development Company (TQDC).
The Commission cautions broker-dealers, shareholders and prospective purchasers that they should carefully consider the foregoing information along with all other currently available information and any information subsequently issued by these companies. Further, broker-dealers should be alert to the fact that, pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, at the termination of the trading suspensions, no quotation may be entered unless and until the broker-dealer has strictly complied with all of the provisions of the rule. If any broker or dealer is uncertain as to what is required by the rule, it should refrain from entering quotations relating to the securities of this company that has been subject to a trading suspension until such time as it has familiarized itself with the rule and is certain that all of its provisions have been met. Any broker or dealer with questions regarding the rule should contact the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C. at (202) 551-5720. If any broker or dealer enters any quotation that is in violation of the rule, the Commission will consider the need for prompt enforcement action.
The Commission acknowledges the assistance and cooperation of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Ontario Securities Commission, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey in Newark, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida in Tampa, the Newark and Tampa Field Offices of the U.S. Secret Service, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
Any investor or other person with information relating to this matter is invited to contact the staff at (202) 551-4600 or by e-mail at ENF-26suspensions@sec.gov.

New data from the Pew Internet and American Life project shows that’s increasingly important to mobile phone owners. Fifty-eight percent of Americans have used a mobile phone for a purpose other than a phone call, such as surfing the Web, checking email or sending a text message. Furthermore, Pew found that 21% of people who use the Internet go online from someplace other than their home or office at least a couple of times a week.
Repetitively posting the already repititively posted PR isn't going to convince people to go buy crazy on this. If excitement for this stock is in one's blood, great. Buy more stock.
If it is a ploy to attempt to influence the weak of mind, through pumping, then I think that investors, investing in risky penny stocks, are aware of the tactic. Thereby creating more apprehensiveness than willingness.
MVIV Draws 5.5 Million Visitors to their Website in Beta Test, More Awareness Programs in the Works
In today’s world of MySpace and iPhones, consumers are extremely hard to target with marketing campaigns. Many times promotions are lost in the noise of the IT world and never reach the targeted consumer. Advertisers need look no further than Mvive’s mobile marketing platform. It allows consumers to be targeted and initial tests are confirming the effectiveness of the company’s pioneering new technology.
The company initiated a Beta platform test of its mobile marketing technology. It was conducted in Canada as part of the company’s ‘Get Mobilized’ promotional campaign. Customers opted to be a part of the promotional campaign and signed up to receive various coupons. 5.5 million web hits were drawn after the launch of the campaign.
A portion of the “Get Mobilized” initiative was launched through a media commercial that can be found on their webpage. The company intends to continue to increase awareness of their mobile marketing systems. They recently announced the addition of two new commercials, which highlight the many benefits of their technology. It is the company’s belief that these commercials will increase their visibility and grow their market share.
President and CEO Roy Choi commented on the Mobile Marketing Awareness programs stating, “There are so many statistics out there which validate the fact that marketing through mobile cell phones, Blackberrys, etc., is the hot, technology wave of the future and receiving 5.5M website hits during a testing program is just another indication of the interest and soon the demand, for this application of mobile devices. At Mvive, we look forward to leading the technology charge in the mobile marketing arena.
He also recently commented on the company’s newly added commercials and continued commitment to growing their customer base by saying, “In anticipation of our imminent commercial launch, we are very pleased to have created two new commercials which we feel are another dynamic difference between Mvive and others looking to get into the mobile marketing arena. We are committed to becoming the pre-eminent player in permission based mobile marketing and these commercials are another step towards achieving our goals.”
Mvive is a mobile-based advertisement company. They offer customers unique advertising that is targeted and free of clutter. It gives advertisers and customers the ability to communicate directly with each other. The best thing about their product is its ability to pre-qualify leads because customers choose to sign up and become a part of the loyalty group. The company is led by President and CEO Roy Choi who is an expert in strategic management and sales with over 18 years of experience. They trade under the symbol (MVIV.PK) and 4m1 on the Frankfurt exchange. Mvive intends to bring order to the chaos of Internet advertising.
MVIV Announces 5.5 Million Web site Hits, Driven by Testing of Mobile Coupon Service
Mobile marketing and technology provider Mvive, Inc. (MVIV) recently announced it has tracked more than 5.5 million Web site hits during its mobile marketing beta test phase, which tested the efficiency of its new strategic Internet-based promotional campaign, “Get Mobilized.”
The campaign marks Canada’s first full opt-in mobile coupon service, a solution that is quickly gaining ground and popularity, not only in the advertising sectors, but in technology markets as well. Through the mobile coupon service, opt-in customers receive marketing information directly to their cellular device.
“There are so many statistics out there which validate the fact that marketing through mobile cell phones, Blackberrys, etc. is the hot, technology wave of the future and receiving 5.5M Web site hits during a testing program is just another indication of the interest and soon the demand, for this application of mobile devices. At Mvive, we look forward to leading the technology charge in the mobile marketing arena,” Mvive President Roy Coi stated in the press release.
Mvive aims to convert its proprietary mobile marketing technology into a fully commercial system to accommodate the anticipated growth and demand from a wide-open global marketplace. According to the company, there are more than 300 million mobile-phone users in the North America alone. Banking solely on this information, Mvive seems to be on its way to lead the new coupon service craze.

Very nice maybe this will help us break out of our current channel
Assessing the competition:
I get email coupons from Borders book store. Today's coupon included an opt-in option to get the same via my cell phone. I scrutinized the notice closely but couldn't see any reference to MVIV. I suspect that this offering demonstrates that MVIV has active competitors who are beating them to the punch here in the USA. Any thoughts, folks?
Good Luck!

MVIV.PK - User Controlled Mobile Messaging the Way of the Future
Since the early 2000’s, Mobile Messaging has grown exponentially around the world. It has been especially successful in Europe and Asia. Businesses there collect numbers and send marketing content to millions of consumer’s phones. With this method, however, the promotions are not sent to the specific target consumer. Many times, they are sent to customers who simply are not in the target market. This can cause a myriad of problems including wasted marketing dollars and a poor corporate image for spamming consumers.
Mvive’s User controlled Marketing allows the company to qualify their leads and direct rich content to targeted customers. The content is dynamic and interactive providing advertisers with an unlimited amount of promotional possibilities. Due to increasing tightness of mobile advertising guidelines, User controlled Media continues to increase in demand as customer’s continue to grow wary of SMS spamming.
The process is a three-step process. Advertisers send an invite to join a specific focus group to possible customers. Interested customers then go online and join the group, thereby qualifying themselves as leads. Customers in the Focus group then receive content rich advertisements from the advertisers.
This User controlled mobile marketing is truly revolutionary in the marketing world, it allows advertisers to reach the users of their product directly and cut through much of the noise normally associated with IT marketing. The company’s product allows marketing managers to close the gap between sellers and buyers and creates tremendous utility for them. Mobile marketing is truly the wave of the future.
MVIV.PK Records over 5.5 Million Website Hits
Mvive, Inc. (MVIV.PK), a leading-edge, permission-based mobile marketing service and technology provider, announced that the company’s web site has received over 5.5 million hits during its mobile marketing beta test phase.
The company’s online “Get Mobilized” campaign offered registered Canadian users an opt-in mobile coupon service. The beta test phase provided access to product discounts and information from more than 800 Mvive clients and businesses. To generate additional customers, future Mvive membership will include personalized benefits and advanced mobile messaging services that will not be available to the general public.
The accumulation of more than 5.5 million hits during a period of initial beta testing shows significant demand and sales potential for the technology products and services offered by Mvive as the world of mobile marketing continues to increase exponentially.
Mvive is a leading-edge, permission based mobile marketing service and technology provider quoted on the Pink Sheets under the symbol MVIV and listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol 4M1 (WKN: A0M5WL). Mvive’s mission is to convert their proprietary mobile marketing technology onto a fully commercial system to capture the anticipated growth and demand from a wide-open global marketplace.
A lot of big sales. I don't have much but, I'll take what they throw at us.
"We were delighted with the resounding operational success of this live, real world technology test phase and even more ecstatic about the response we received from many of the retailers who could not say enough about the ease and efficiency with which the service worked," stated Mr. Roy Choi, President of Mvive. "As more and more content and content delivery is being sought out by companies such as Google and Research in Motion, etc., we at Mvive feel that our Moupon(TM) and the Moupon(TM) delivery system as well as future Mvive products and services, will be in great demand. We anticipate the Mvive registration process to commence in March, 2008."

Industry analysts predict the mobile advertising market will reach US$10 billion in just a few short years. The scenario is a marketer's dream: an always on, always with you, two-way device that provides an unprecedented level of user information for the delivery of a device-specific, targeted message.
Mobile Industry Ready to Explore New Advertising Models
According to a LogicaCMG Telecoms survey of mobile industry leaders, the buzz at CTIA 2007 is around mobile advertising and speed-to-deployment of new mobile services.
Identifying and enabling appropriate mobile advertising mechanisms was the talk of the show - 41 percent of the attendees polled ranked mobile advertising as the biggest trend they are seeing at the show.
While opinions varied dramatically on how quickly consumers will adopt any kind of advertising model, the benefits to both consumers and operators are clear, according to the respondents. The interest in mobile advertising was surprising to many attendees - 22 percent ranked this increased interest in advertising models as the biggest surprise at the show.
"The most important word here is 'relevant,'" said Wayne Irwin, president, North America, LogicaCMG Telecoms. "The mobile industry is approaching advertising very cautiously, and is watching consumer adoption very closely to ensure success. Done well, if it's relevant and targeted, mobile advertising can help drive down costs to the consumer while helping grow revenues for the mobile operator. The two biggest enablers of this are near-real-time customer intelligence management systems and more flexible charging and bundling capabilities, two areas where LogicaCMG excels."
Speed and flexibility in deploying, marketing and bundling new mobile services also ranked high - 28 percent of attendees polled were exploring ways to speed the deployment of new mobile services and 25 percent were looking for ways to more creatively bundle and market these new services to mobile customers.
Near-real-time access to customer behavior - an important aspect of any successful mobile advertising campaign - was one of the hurdles to faster revenue growth, according to the survey. Being able to respond quickly to consumer demand and make highly targeted appropriate offers is critical to any mobile advertising model.
"Among those who used e-mail and one of five other emerging technologies, 88% of respondents used text messaging, second only to e-mail."
User Controlled Media
Mobile marketing differs from most other forms of marketing communication in that it is often user (consumer) initiated, called Mobile Originated (or MO) message, and requires the express consent of the consumer to receive future communications. A call delivered from a server (business) to a user (consumer) is similarly called a Mobile Terminated (or MT) message. This infrastructure points to a trend set by mobile marketing of consumer controlled marketing communications.
Mobile Marketing via Infrared
Infrared is the oldest and most limited form of Mobile Marketing. Some European companies have experimented with "shopping window marketing" via free Infrared waves in the late 90s. However, Infrared has a very limited range (~ approx. 10cm - 1meter) and could never really establish itself as a leading Mobile Marketing technology.
Mobile Marketing via Bluetooth
The rise of Bluetooth started around 2003 and a few companies in Europe have started establishing successful businesses. Most of these businesses offer "Hotspot-Systems" which consist of some kind of content-management system with a Bluetooth distribution function. This technology has the advantages that it is permission-based, has higher transfer speeds and is also a radio-based technology and can therefore not be billed (i.e. is free of charge).
Mobile Marketing via MMS
Brands are delivering promotional content such as mobile music to mobile games to drive consumer engagement. This mobile content is delivered via MMS (Multimedia Message Service). Brands are also leveraging consumer generated content.
A good example of this is Motorola ongoing campaigns at House of Blues venues where the brand allows the consumer to send their mobile photos to the LED board in real-time as well as blog their images online.
Mobile Marketing via SMS
Mobile Marketing via SMS has expanded rapidly in Europe and Asia as a new channel to reach the consumer. SMS initially received negative media coverage in many parts of Europe for being a new form of spam as some advertisers purchased lists and sent unsolicited content to consumer's phones; however, as guidelines are put in place by the mobile operators, SMS has become the most popular branch of the Mobile Marketing industry with several 100 million advertising SMS sent out every month in Europe alone.
In North America the first cross-carrier SMS shortcode campaign was run by Labatt Breweries in 2002. Over the past few years mobile short codes have been increasingly popular as a new channel to communicate to the mobile consumer. Brands have begun to treat the mobile shortcode as a mobile domain name allowing the consumer to text message the brand at an event, in store and off any traditional media.
All SMS services need to be run off a short code. These are 5 or 6 digit numbers that have been assigned by all the mobile operators in a given country for the use of brand campaign and other consumer services. The mobile operators vet every application before provisioning and monitor the service to make sure it does not diverge from its original service description.
One key criterion for provisioning is that the consumer opts in to the service. The mobile operators demand a double opt in from the consumer and the ability for the consumer to opt out of the service at any time by sending the word STOP via SMS. These guidelines are established in the MMA Consumer Best Practices Guidelines which are followed by all mobile marketers in the United States. The guidelines can be accessed at www.mmaglobal.com
"cancellation of 21.8 million shares of the company's common stock". Wow, I had not seen that. Thanks!
Yes, see post #107
Ya, then I would be a double winner! About 35M. outstanding, right!
I would say $2.00 by June is conservative if we succeed!
Mvive has created a new form of marketing! We will be well above $2.00 very quickly with this share structure!!!!!!!!!
What company will not want a moupon marketing campaign!
Maybe WNBD could be our first customer!
Seriously! My friend told me we could see $2 by June and I thought he was bullish. Well, I'll be doing more DD today. GLTY
I believe we will see $4.00 soon enough! But that is just the beginning! With the share structure and ability to capture the mobile coupon market( this is the only one there!) we could see forward splits and $20 /share! and maybe a divi! WEEEeee!
I hope so, I have a friend that doesn't post here but he is holding a ton of it and he does his DD pretty well before he buys a stock. He told me to buy and hold. What do you feel is the upside potential in the next few months.
