Thread: Banners Broker HYIP ponzi scam

I don't need to detail my extensive due diligence to a bunch of trolls hiding behind anonymous screen handles, nor do I need to justify myself in any way. As a consenting adult, I decided to throw a few hundred dollars at this, if my extensive due diligence would have found more of what I was seeking, I would have put in several thousands of dollars - as adults we make our own decisions, however well or poorly we've researched the reasons for our decisions, but what we don't need is a bunch of trolls acting as some kind of private detective /police department with trivial, circumstantial stuff in a feeble attempt to damage the reputation of a young, growing multi-national on-line advertising company like Banners Broker.

No doubt if google chose to share its profits like Banners Broker, rather than developing browsers, android phones and operating systems and other wonderful stuff google's famous for, well the big cheese would be a scam in your books too. Simply hilarious, but a sad sign of the state of affairs with some people. Looks like the trolls love feeding on negativity and putting anything and everything and anybody who thinks different to them, down...

No negativity here. Just unanswered questions.

i see the trolls are getting excited

Even that answer is longer than the name of the college and the year would be. Why won't you tell us? Why do you keep avoiding the question? Everyone reading knows, why don't you just come clean?

Firstly, if I did know the name of the college and the year, I certainly wouldn't be disclosing that to a bunch of anonymous trolls and cyber terrorists with an agenda to turn everything against the company and its reputation. And if Chris did major as some kind of maths genius, as is claimed, would it matter because if he majored in some university, it then too would be slandered and put down by the trolls in here. Even if he graduated from Harvard or Yale, those well-known universities would then be labelled as a scam or whatever.
Secondly, I don't know which university Chris went to, and I don't particularly care. College degrees and graduating university don't always rank very highly in my books, as a matter of face from personal experiences, some of the worst companies I've worked for, and worked with, was run by highly educated, bureaucrat types with degrees and certificates to wallpaper their whole office with, proves nothing except the fundamentals of knowledge.

@noname999 - would i be correct in assuming that you would never, ever want anything to do with any company where it can't be proven conclusively that the person or people at the top went through university and were thus suitably qualified to be in charge or (or owning) a business, like BB ?

Quite frankly, I wouldn't care less if Chris Smith was a college drop-out.
That would put him into the same category as Michael Dell, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Ralph Lauren, and others

Seriously! talk about no credibility, just a bunch of cynical, disheartened schmucks with nothing better to do with your time.....

The majority of the information here comes from the data supplied by BB and its supporters themselves, whether to government agencies or or other legal entities. The entire pro-BB defence seems to be based on what "Chris Smith" or Raj Dixit have said in a webinar.

There's good reason for the drive-by-posters, some pop up and disappear after a little while, some join the ranks of the others who, like me, will be sticking around for a wee bit, first to get feel of what's being said around here, a bit like the farmer taking a look around to see what parasites, pests and whatever else might pose some risk to his crop. It certainly does keep this thread moving and most entertaining, but like everything else, the novelty value fades away as it's the same drivel over and over and over again.

To all BB-defenders out there, your time and efforts defending the banners broker business is as much a waste of effort and time trying to convert pro-climate change people to believe otherwise, or telling your local Jehovas Witness crowd their god doesn't exist and their whole religion is a scam. Hmm, need I mention Scientology?

If you're on the pro-BB side, remember it is not your job trying to defend what you consider to be a legitimate kind of business to a bunch of 9-5 employee mentality people who think otherwise with what amounts to largely irrelevant observations, screen captures from blogs and otherwise.

Yet here you are.......

If you feel you've been let down, or you believe you have been mislead by BB or a BB affiliate, and you are facing difficulty getting paid, or getting a refund within the prescribed time period after joining, all countries have relevant consumer affairs or fair trading departments to deal with such matters. Might not get you the money you think is owed to you, but an increasing pattern of such complaints against a company, which eventually turns into a pattern of increasing complaints made formally to the relevant government department, will eventually turn the lawmakers' attention to the company, and if in the unlikely event that BB is in fact a Ponzi, or is shown to have sufficient proportion of "ponzi elements" to the point that the whole scheme would collapse if the recruiting drive stalled or stopped, then it is up to the official lawmakers to take the appropriate action, and as in the case of Zeek, shut down. I personally did extensive due diligence on Zeek also, and my research did not see the company pass with flying colours. BB isn't clear out of the woods in my red flags department as many of their problems especially in terms of customer support and website accessibility issues, are often seen in relatively new companies that get caught on the back foot, risking becoming a victim of their own success.

Nothing is "no risk" and that includes banners broker, crossing the road, or hopping in your car to drive down town.

Yet the line taken by those promoting it is

impossible.jpg

That sounds awfully like a "no risk" boast to me.

I've given it a punt with a sum of money about the same as what I'd blow on a typical afternoon out on the track. Would be a shame if the dreamstealers of RS are right, but i wouldn't lose sleep over the few hundred dollars I've put into the purchase of ad panels with BB, there's some level of risk with anything, but the last thing we need is a bunch of self-appointed 'net-nannies' bagging the living daylights out of anything they don't approve of, or do not fully understand.

Is there some BB promotion in place that gives extra traffic for using the word "dreamstealer"? Not that it's actually a real word.

Much in the way Banners Broker isn't a real company.

We "pro-BB'ers" do not have to justify our position, defend the company from MLM scam, ponzi or other scam allegations from a bunch of people posting anonymously without disclosure of their real names, addresses and perhaps a phone number, and defend out decision to join this company as affiliates to the rest of the on-line.

No, you don't. Yet, again, here you are....

In the real world, innocence is assumed until guilt is proven. By guilt, I'm not talking about screenshots of blogs and other stuff, and the endless, repetitive BS that's being spruiked by RS anti-BB'ers hell bent on bringing this company to its knees. This is called cyber terrorism, not providing an information resource to help a newbie make an informed decision whether BB (or any other company for that) is for them or not. Nothing's rock solid and 100% safe and secure, not even your job, folks. People ratting on their BS on RS crap on about BB affiliates having their account locked, or terminated, for making negative comments about BB. You may be interested to know that most MLM companies, including Tupperware, Avon, Amway, etc, do not take too kindly to negativity spread around the internet by affiliates, and their compliance departments again show no hesitation in reprimanding a rogue affiliate who is out there damaging the company's name.

No, it's not

cybert.jpg

Come to think of it, I dare you anti-BB RS'ers to foul-mouth your boss or the company you work for, USING YOUR REAL NAME, and see if you cop some flak if your boss found out. Many people have been sacked for inappropriate facebook comments against the company they work for....

Pro-BB'ers - take this to heart - there is good reason these people here trying to spread negative rumours and trivial observations they like to refer to as "facts" using anonymous screen names and without revealing their real names and addresses, and that's so that lawyers acting on behalf of the company whose good name they're trying to defame (in this case banners broker), can't serve them with cease-and-desist orders, just as the Taliban don't show their faces before they blow up some little village in Afghanistan or wherever they practise their acts of terrorism, cyber terrorism is exactly the same.

Ah, yes those mythical lawyers again. Why haven't they issued cease and desist notices on any of the newspapers that they claim have been publishing falsehoods? Could it perhaps be because they don't exist?

If they don't post their real name and a mailing address with their anti-BB comments, they have ZERO credibility. Nil, zip, nada. Absolutely nothing.

If I have a gripe about Vodafone, for example, regarding poor network speeds or other aspects such as call dropouts, poor customer service, and so forth, as I have many times in the past in places such as whirlpool, I post my REAL NAME, my mailing address, even my contact telephone number, so that the people at Vodafone, in this example, can identify my views as a legitimate complaint and grievance. I've actually had a senior Vodafone staff member (not an indian from a call centre in mumbai) call me to clarify what I was going on about in whirlpool. As my grievances and complaints were genuine, I was not asked to remove the posts, but how Vodafone can assist me. Got myself a free months mobile internet access, so I posted that, problem didn't seem to be resolved, but a brownie-point for giving me a free months' access as a gesture of goodwill.

You're obviously quite proud of yourself for having thought that one up, as you mentioned it a few times now. Trouble is, I don't see your "real name and a mailing address" attached to anything you've written, so regarding credibility.........

Food for thought, folks! Unless you've got something positive to say regarding BB (or any company for that matter), back it up with some credibility, and include your real name and a mailing address. If you're not prepared to do that (scared of lawyers and the prospect of being summonsed to explain yourself to a magistrate or judge?), then you have NO CREDIBILITY no matter how strong your argument, comment, "proof" or "evidence".

When I first came here to RS, lurking in the background before registering the other day i thought, geez the dedication and tenacity of these people here sure are to be commended, I thought what are these people wasting their efforts here for, they should work for the police as detectives, or at interpol, then it struck me, it's the same pattern for each company and opportunity that's being slandered on this site, all anonymous comments, there's nothing for a lawyer to serve notices of defamation to as none of them actually 'man up' and back up their claims by revealing who they are beyond their screen handles.

Those of us who are currently in BB to whatever degree, as far as I know I'd guess the vast majority of us did at least some very basic due diligence, however deep or tiny that might have been, and we made the decision to part with some of our money to give this our "best shot". To have a bunch of self-proclaimed 'net-nannies' discouraging people from anything that involves taking the step towards some level of financial independence, or just a few extra $$ to help with bills and the mortgage, must make you feel real proud to keep another schlepp stuck in their 9-5 job - Just Over Broke is what the letters J.O.B. stand for. Let people make their own decisions without the bullshit and baseless garbage "proof", it's their money, no doubt some will get stung by some dodgey scheme, others discover that network marketing thing selling vitamins and juices isn't really anywhere as easy as they said at the meeting when I joined up, etc etc so it must be a scam? Hilarious and sad at the very same time.

Put up or shut up - got something negative to say about BB or anything else? Put your name and mailing address where your mouth is. Telephone numbers optional, some people can act on emotions harassing you in the middle of the night on the phone, playing the same game as you, in hiding behind an unlisted phone number, so if you have something worthwhile to say, real name and mailing address just in case the lawyers want to send you something in the post.

There you go again, in your anonymous post, with that bit about names and addresses. Mind you, to be fair, we already know yours....



Don't we, Roger

Waverider, if you don't mind... what profits are there to be shared? Look as I might, I do not seem to be able to identify a single banner from BB that advertizes anything other than BB itself. Could you point out half a dozen sites that have one for me?

Now, was that, that hard. All you had to say was: I do not know.

Wow, you really do try to make things difficult. Now, next question. Why don't you know?

Oh God...you are not attempting to ask him a simple question, that should have a simple answer, are you? This could take all day. I'm going to the gym...

Sorry. Should I have just asked him, "Are you or are you not Janrus Abello, the BB member who goes by drblitz?" instead?

Banners Broker is a brokerage - at this time, it doesn't actually serve up its own ads, as I understand it, clicksor is one of the major blind advertising networks is uses as its link between its advertisers and the publisher networks.

Here's a couple I've stumbled across in the past month or two :

What a load of utter tripe. This "Chris Smith" has no backstory whatsoever. Prior to November 2010 it appears he simply didn't exist. Let's say he did though, any company with a half decent marketing department would seize on their founders academic qualifications, including where they were awarded, as a very useful "halo" to reassure investors customers. It's basic Marketing 101 stuff.

Mind you, any marketer with an ounce of common sense wouldn't choose MLM websites and Twitter as the medium through to launch an advertising brokerage firm.....

Quite frankly, I wouldn't care less if Chris Smith was a college drop-out.
That would put him into the same category as Michael Dell, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Ralph Lauren, and others
(source Wiki : List of college dropout billionaires - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

Yeaaaah, except, and Wikipedia will back me up on this, not one of those you've mentioned arrived on this earth as a fully grown man with a family. Without exception they all have backstories.

Oh, and not one of them operates their business from behind a nominee director in a tax haven.

And none, to my knowledge,has metamorphosised from a white man to a black one....

Why are the adverts almost always for Banners Broker itself? And why is this "contextual advertising" that is boasted about in the BB promotionals, in English, on a Portuguese website?

If that's meant to be an indication of what BB does to create all those millionaires then it's an epic FAIL

Hate to be a spoil-sport, but this kind of practise if more common than you think amongst companies and high net-worth individuals for the purposes of asset protection.

Hmmm, even the big cheese, Google, uses a complicated legal structure with tax havens to save it $3.1billion in tax since 2007, thus boosting last years' overall earning by 26%.

Source: The Tax Haven That's Saving Google Billions - Businessweek

In Bermuda there's no corporate income tax at all. Google's profits travel to the island's white sands via a convoluted route known to tax lawyers as the "Double Irish" and the "Dutch Sandwich." In Google's case, it generally works like this: When a company in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa purchases a search ad through Google, it sends the money to Google Ireland. The Irish government taxes corporate profits at 12.5 percent, but Google mostly escapes that tax because its earnings don't stay in the Dublin office, which reported a pretax profit of less than 1 percent of revenues in 2008.

Irish law makes it difficult for Google to send the money directly to Bermuda without incurring a large tax hit, so the payment makes a brief detour through the Netherlands, since Ireland doesn't tax certain payments to companies in other European Union states. Once the money is in the Netherlands, Google can take advantage of generous Dutch tax laws. Its subsidiary there, Google Netherlands Holdings, is just a shell (it has no employees) and passes on about 99.8 percent of what it collects to Bermuda. (The subsidiary managed in Bermuda is technically an Irish company, hence the "Double Irish" nickname.)

anyways, the trolls are excited, somebody else from the BB side of the fence they can have a go at - I'm off to the gym myself ;)

Again, yeaaah....the difference being Google et al, don't hide behind nominee directors, and they certainly don't boast that they'll keep moving their registered offices from one tax haven to the next to avoid being caught

There you go again, in your anonymous post, with that bit about names and addresses. Mind you, to be fair, we already know yours....

It's from chapter 2 of the scammers handbook. It's been used so many times before it's become cliche. Another sign they have absolutely nothing.

Don't you just love the Ponzi shills like waverider. Hmm, let's see. You won't show any proof because as you claim we are all a bunch of no-name people that won't post our real names and addresses. That is the only reason why you won't disprove all of our posts, right?

If you "could" disprove any of what we have said about BB, you would have already been ripping us apart to show us how wrong we all are. The fastest and quickest way to shut up us "Trolls," as you call us. But here you are ducking the questions and any answers with comparisons to everything other than the real issue of BB. Calling all of us names instead of putting us in our place with answers and provable facts about BB. And you think we are taking you seriously? Boy do you have a lot to learn. But just like chinacastle, you are doing more to prove that BB is a Ponzi rather than just our exposure of it being a Ponzi.

Keep talking, you're doing a great job of proving all of us right. Can't wait for your reply. Be sure to toss in the government is the biggest Ponzi of them all.

PS: You are living proof that this blog is having an impact on recruiting for BB or you wouldn't be here trying to discredit all of us. Epic fail.

You have no idea what transfer pricing is or how it works. The reason BB is (supposedly) based in Isle of Man and/or Belize has nothing to do with moving profits from its ongoing operations, to a lower tax rate nexus.

I find it amusing that the fact that nobody knows which college or university "Chris Smith" attended is becoming such a huge thorn in the side of the BB mind-hive. Any day now we should be getting a certified transcript posted from a university that has shut down in the last 10-15 years.

Here's another easy question: Name one industry insider at any of the major ad networks or agencies that can vouch for Chris Smith. Even the ones that he talked to but didn't want to do business with him two years ago when Chris launched this breakthrough business. Give us ONE name of someone connected to the online advertising industry that Chris has pitched to or discussed a business proposition with, who could be contacted to simply confirm that such a conversation took place.

Have at it.

Well done, you've done some research into Google. Now do the same for Banners Broker - where DOES the money go?

If I have a gripe about Vodafone, for example, regarding poor network speeds or other aspects such as call dropouts, poor customer service, and so forth, as I have many times in the past in places such as whirlpool, I post my REAL NAME, my mailing address, even my contact telephone number, so that the people at Vodafone, in this example, can identify my views as a legitimate complaint and grievance

If you don't mind, could you post a link to this? Its pretty rare for someone to post their personal details on Whirlpool.

As my grievances and complaints were genuine, I was not asked to remove the posts

Which is stretching the truth somewhat, as you couldn't remove the posts even if you wanted to. Like here, posts can only be removed by admins and mods.

He went to Scam College located in Scamville where his major was "fraud and deceit"......

It's equally fascinating that this alleged math genius isn't tied to anything important. Why is he not educating the math prodigies in a university?
Maybe he's ended up like this: A life that doesn't add up: The Cambridge maths genius who is now a recluse living on tinned mackerel | Mail Online

Is Chris Smith his real name?

Yes...Just like John Citizen is a real person employed by Mastercard and Visa for their TV adds....
