How can I verify Memo Genesis's business registration, address, and tax ID?
Executive summary
You can begin verification by checking public business registries for company incorporation and by searching U.S. federal databases or commercial tax‑ID validation services to confirm an EIN; reputable reporting and watchdog sites flag MemoGenesis-related websites as lacking clear company contact details and raise scam concerns (see scam reports and site checks) [1] [2]. Available sources do not provide a clear, authoritative business registration record, physical address tied to a legal entity, or a confirmed IRS EIN for “Memo Genesis” specifically; independent validators and consumer reports note missing contact information on merchant pages [2] [1].
1. Start at authoritative registries — why incorporation records matter
Search state corporate registries (Secretary of State) for the exact legal name used on product pages; incorporation filings are the primary public proof of a business’s legal existence and will list a registered agent and address. The materials in your results include multiple “Genesis” businesses across sectors, but none link a corporate filing directly to MemoGenesis’s product pages — the available domain pages claim U.S. manufacture but do not show a matching state registration [3] [4]. Available sources do not mention a specific state filing for MemoGenesis.
2. Tax IDs (EINs): where to look and what the sources show
A valid EIN is issued by the IRS and is not searchable by public IRS lookup like a corporate registry; commercial aggregators and paid services (or vendor pages such as SAM.gov for federal contractors) sometimes disclose EINs for entities that registered for government business [5]. Your search results include third‑party EIN listing pages for other “Genesis” companies but nothing that verifies an EIN for MemoGenesis — sites that claim tax IDs for other Genesis entities are unrelated and do not confirm MemoGenesis’s tax status [6] [7]. Available sources do not provide a confirmed EIN for MemoGenesis.
3. Merchant website due diligence — red flags and what we found
Legitimate supplement vendors typically publish a corporate name, full street address, phone, and customer service policies. The MemoGenesis product sites in the records either repeat marketing copy about U.S. manufacture (en-us-memogenesis.com) or are flagged by site‑trust services and investigative posts for lacking contact details and for aggressive, deceptive marketing funnels [3] [2] [1]. Independent reviews and security blogs warn that the Memo Genesis sales funnel uses fake endorsements and omits reliable company contact info — a clear red flag for consumers [1] [8].
4. Use layered verification: domain, payment, and packaging trails
Check WHOIS and hosting records for the domain to see registrant and hosting country, examine payment pages for merchant legal names (credit‑card descriptors sometimes reveal corporate trade names), and inspect product packaging images for a manufacturer or distributor label. The sources show commercial listings (eBay) and multiple domains claiming the MemoGenesis brand, but those pages either lack transparent seller addresses or have low trust scores on site‑checker services [9] [2]. Available sources do not include verified WHOIS or payment‑descriptor details for MemoGenesis.
5. Cross‑check watchdogs, reviews, and academic claims
Consumer‑protection writeups and security blogs have already investigated MemoGenesis and documented deceptive ad tactics and missing company details; Ibisik and MalwareTips call the product’s marketing a “scam” and advise disputing charges if purchased [1] [8]. At the same time, unrelated academic studies exist for other “Memo” supplements (not MemoGenesis) — for example, a clinical paper on a different Memo® preparation — showing that similarly named products can be entirely different entities, so name similarity is not proof of legitimacy [10]. Sources disagree on product legitimacy: company marketing claims manufacture "on US soil" [3] while investigative sites report fabricated endorsements and no verifiable corporate contact [3] [1].
6. Practical verification checklist you can follow now
- Search the Secretary of State for the exact corporate name shown on the product site (available sources do not show which state to search for MemoGenesis) [3].
- Run the merchant domain through WHOIS and site‑trust tools referenced in reporting to see registrant anonymity and hosting red flags [2].
- Inspect checkout/payment pages for a billing descriptor or corporate name; if absent or different from the product name, treat cautiously [2] [9].
- Use a commercial EIN verification tool or contact the IRS Business & Specialty Tax Line if you have an alleged EIN to verify (sources describe tax‑ID validation tools exist but do not show an EIN for MemoGenesis) [11] [12].
- Cross‑reference reviews and investigative posts (Ibisik, MalwareTips, ScamAdviser) for patterns of complaints and missing contact info [1] [8] [2].
7. How to proceed if you already paid
Consumer guides in the reporting recommend disputing card charges and contacting your bank immediately when purchase pages lack verifiable company information; MalwareTips explicitly advises contacting your bank if you suspect a purchase was part of the MemoGenesis funnel [8]. Ibisik’s investigation documents absence of refunds and contact details as common in complaints [1].
Limitations: reporting in your search results offers marketing claims, domain reviews, and investigative posts but does not include an official corporate registration extract, a WHOIS dump, or an IRS confirmation letter for MemoGenesis — those records must be checked directly via state registries, WHOIS, or the IRS (available sources do not include those documents) [3] [2] [1].
