OpticsPlanet Corporate Office

Optics Planet was founded in 2000 by Mark Levitin and Pavel Shvartsman. The company operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce store for optics, bootstrapping the company with their own private funding.

The company offers shooting, camping, hunting, military, law enforcement, and laboratory gear and eyewear.

The company has obtained notoriety through the sales of various specialty kits, such as the Z.E.R.O. Zombie Kit, the Santa Stakeout Kit, and the Invisible Man Kit. These kits combine many of the items OpticsPlanet sells into a single package, and carry a price tag upwards of $24,000.


In 2014, OpticsPlanet launched Wetley GGRX, the first company to offer prescription lens inserts for Google’s Google Glass devices.

In 2017, the company offered an app to make buying quick and easy.

In early 2020, the company experienced significant delays in shipping some items, causing them to post an apology to their customers.

OpticsPlanet maintains a corporate office in Northbrook, Ilinois.

FreeScoreOnline.Com Corporate Office

One Technologies, LLC doing business as FreeScoreOnline was founded in 2000 by brothers Alex and Roger Chang in San Francisco, California.

The company operates a website where people can check their credit rating with all 3 credit bureaus at no change. However, by using this service, clients only get to check their scores for free for the first 7 days, after which, their credit cards are charged a monthly fee.

While the company sells credit reports, credit scores, and credit monitoring under the ScoreSense brand name, ScoreSense charges a $1 “processing fee” to provide credit scores and credit reports to consumers who agree to a seven-day “free trial.” After seven days, customers are charged $29.95 a month by ScoreSense’s owner, One Technologies LLC.

The company uses several websites, including FreeScore360.Com, FreeScoreOnline.Com, and up to 40 different online URLs.

In 2020, the US Federal government fined One Technologies $22 million for fraudulent practices but it appears that even Google is clamping down on the word “free” in the company URLS.

FreeScoreOnline, AKA One Technologies LLC, maintains a corporate office in Dallas, Texas.

PETA Corporate Office

Ingrid Newkirk was studying in the US to become a stockbroker but after trying to leave some abandoned kittens in a shelter, she was horrified by the conditions and even more horrified when she discovered what happened to most of the animals.

Newkirk met Alex Pacheco at George Washington University. He also volunteered at the shelter. They moved in together and Newkirk convinced Pacheco to form the non-profit People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in 1980.

The group became well-known only a year later after disputing how monkeys were used in research. Pacheco went to the laboratory at night, taking photographs that showed the monkeys living in what the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research’s ILAR Journal called “filthy conditions.” He passed his photographs to the police, who raided the lab and arrested Taub. Taub was convicted of six counts of cruelty to animals, the first such conviction in the United States of an animal researcher; the conviction, though, was overturned on appeal.

PETA operates an animals rights platform that opposes using animals in any way, including for food, clothing, labor, entertainment, or research.

The organization is known for its aggressive media campaigns, which some say have hurt the organization more that it has helped animals.

In November 2021, one PETA member stripped himself naked and lay on the street next to fake turkeys to protest the traditional Thanksgiving meal.

PETA is also asking Americans to give turkeys a break and have a ThanksVegan celebration in 2021.

PETA maintains a corporate office in Norfolk, Virginia.

United Healthcare Corporate Office

United Healthcare, also spelled UnitedHealthcare, can trace its roots back to 1974 when Richard Taylor Burke founded Charter Med Incorporated, a Minnetonka, Minnesota-based privately held company. In 1977, the United HealthCare Corporation was created to reorganize the company and became the parent company of Charter Med. United HealthCare’s charter was to manage the newly created Physicians Health Plan of Minnesota, an early health management organization.

Today the company offers health care products and insurance services. UnitedHealth Group is the world’s eighth-largest company in terms of revenue and second-largest healthcare company behind CVS Health by revenue, and the largest insurance company by net premiums. UnitedHealthcare revenues comprise 80% of the Group’s overall revenue.

The company continues to expand, often by acquisition.

In 2017, UnitedHealthcare acquired Rally Health and in 2019, it acquired DaVita Medical Group.

In 2016, UnitedHealthcare announced that it was pulling out of the Obamacare health plan in all but three states.

The company has faced numerous fines and lawsuits including in 2017, CMS fined UnitedHealthcare after discovering issues in Medicare Part D leading to delays or denials in a 2016 audit, the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance fined UnitedHealthcare $2.5 million due to various compliance issues; this was the largest fine against a licensee in nine years and in Pennslyvania, UnitedHealthcare assessed $1 million penalty for claims payment violations.

UnitedHealthcare maintains a corporate office in Minnetonka, Minnesota.

MyLife Corporate Office

Jeffrey Tinsley founded MyLife.Com originally under the name Reunion.Com in 2002.

The company is an information broker, gathering information from public sources and other sites, such as social media, to create “MyLife Public Page” about individuals that anyone can access.

The information available can range from home addresses, work history, age, phone numbers, current and past employers, photos, relatives, etc.

In 2007, after receiving $25 million in venture funding, the company changed its name to MyLife.Com.

In 2011, a lawsuit against MyLife said the company was engaging in false advertising practices, similar to what was alleged in a 2008 Classmates.Com class-action lawsuit. The suit also accused MyLife of false solicitation by offering monthly memberships and then charging members’ credit cards at the annual rate.

 The class-action suit also accused MyLife of spamming contacts improperly gathered from the address books of those visiting the site.  U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken’s ruling consolidated the 2011 class-action lawsuit with two other fraud class actions against MyLife. Ultimately the lawsuit was dismissed.

In October 2021, the company was hit with another class-action lawsuit stating that the company violates the privacy of those who have never visited the site.

Also in October 2021, MyLife.Com had a C rating on the Better Business Bureau site with no accreditation. From 2018 to 2020, the BBB received almost 14,000 complaints about MyLife.Com.

MyLife maintains a corporate office in Los Angeles, California.
