Rex Venture Group, which operates the online penny auction site Zeekler.com and affiliates program Zeek Rewards, has closed its headquarters for undisclosed reasons. Currently the websites are offline which is a nightmare for affiliates as for reporters.
The company, known to most as Zeek, posted three signs on the windows of its headquarters at 803 West Center St. in Lexington on Thursday that stated the office will be closed, telling visitors to "check the website for more information".
There was no further information available on Zeekler.com or zeekrewards.com. The company also announced it is cancelling its upcoming "Red Carpet" event, scheduled for Wednesday.
The announcement, made on zeekrewardsnews.com, also advised readers to continue to monitor its websites for more information to be forthcoming.
Paul Burks, chief executive officer of Rex Venture Group, could not be reached for comment. Dr. Clifton Jolley, the company's media representative, also could not be reached. Details about the closing were conflicting on Thursday.
Dozens of people arrived at the company's headquarters throughout the afternoon on Thursday, only to find locked doors and confusion.
Unconfirmed sources said the building was being closed so Zeek could answer inquiries from the Attorney General, made in the form of a Civil Investigative Demand (CID).
According to N.C. General Statutes, a CID is an administrative subpoena that can be issued by the Attorney General whenever there is reason to believe a person, or entity, has information that is relevant to an ongoing investigation.
The Attorney General's office could not be reached for comment on Thursday.
