Must be a dangerous part of town. I noticed the key feature of the office is a 32-channel video surveillance system.

Gotta protect that secret algorithm, I guess.

Posh! an excellent image of Banners Broker. May you grow into google offices in the not to distant future.

still touting the comparison line of "google spent two years in a garage" . They didnt and they moved to offices after about six months.

Is that Paul McCarthy on the front desk pic?

To be fair to Terry do you really think there is no difference between a guy selling jewelry out of his house taking PayPal and a multi-national hundreds of $M per year corporation standardizing on PayPal as its outgoing payment system?

Trying to use this as proof of deceit seems a little weak, IMHO.

As always, just my free advice and worth just about that amount; do what you want...

I thought the same.

Hi guys,

I've been monitoring this forum for a while but have yet to make a contribution - partially out of embarrassment I suppose. The usual story: Family member is very enthusiastic about new "business" venture, I take a punt knowing at the back of my mind that it is too good to be true, do my due diligence after the event, and come to the conclusion that BB is a scam (obviously your input here helped). I'm still holding out for my initial investment, though I wouldn't hold my breath. In truth, I had it written off as a bad debt almost immediately. Anyway, I've seen people refer to the very useful Finch articles relating to BB. Take a look at this report created only yesterday which puts BB on the same footing as FB, Google, etc.:

Scoopasia | Press Releases

Note that the name Michael Finch is mentioned at the bottom (bit odd). It's laughable and I'm sure another ploy on the part of BB or an affiliate.

So who are these other "premium clients" I see displayed on the canvas banner? Parrot Marketing, Payvalley, Buzinga?

whoever it is looks like they were caught stealing the pens in that pic! BTW, it appears that these pics were taken during the day, not one member of staff around busy at work?? Most of the desks looked like they are unused.

The photo of the signage to the front is not as prominent as it appears there and the sign to the side of the building is a big metal one that is screwed to the wall, not like a permanent sign. There is no room here either for much parking to the side as I've said before, given that there are tenants in addition to them, parking is at a premium. In other words, it's location is not really designed for a high staffed business.

Live next door to it? :D

Another day, another payment processor...

I noticed a few photos from within StellarPoint popping up here too:

Samuel,

Terry's jerwellery business is aparantly international. Overpriced jewellery has long been a traditional method of moving dirty money. I am in no way saying that anything is going on with Terry's jewellery business, but then who knows?

I understand what you are saying, and I agree that there are significant differences between an online jewellery shop and an online ponzi scam. However, Terry was quite clearly stating that PayPal was too expensive to use as they took a high percentage from both buyer and seller and were much more expensive that the methods being used by Banners Brokers.

If this is true, then why does Terry use PayPal exclusively for his business instead of the much cheaper options used by Banners Brokers that he is so familiar with and so supportive of? It really does not add up, does it?

@SwissSkyBlue

It really does not add up, does it?

Quite an understatement there

shell clients created by banners broker as an illusion.

haha, no, have a friend who does though and he owed me one :)

Reference Terry Stern,

From the posts above, it would seem that there is a real Terry Stern in the top international management of Banners Brokers, so can we now be sure that the Terry Stern of masonic jewellery fame, the Terry Stern posting on here and Finch's Blog and the Terry Stern listed in the BBI management team as the PR manager are indeed all one and the same genuine and real person?

Is that some Panels I see sat on that rack waiting to be sent out to Clicksor & OpenX, that might explain why they need all that

Chris' ears are elven in nature ...

The problem is there are no high quality photos of him, I've seen images where his ears look normal.

Is it just the one ear like that?, has the photo been cropped in photoshop and that piece cut off ?, is there more than one smith (I've always thought there might be), is that just a trick of the light?. Has he had an accident, or been in a fight?

Having said all that, I don't think I've found him, had a good look at the photos and Raj's brother has a larger forehead, there are lots of similar facial features, but not an exact match IMHO.

I'll keep searching.

Let's go through some of these client names, shall we....

Monetize Group uncannily like The Monetize Group

Parrot Marketing, quite similar to Red Parrot Marketing

Screen shot 2013-01-23 at 19.59.00.jpg

Payvalley

Screen shot 2013-01-23 at 20.06.11.jpg


As to be expected they all share the now-familiar "domainservice80" email address which links almost every Banners Broker and "Choice Network" site.Note also that the last one, payvalley.com is considerably older than the rest, and predates BB by nearly four years in it's present "domainservice80" incarnation, however a bit of digging suggests it seems to go back even further...

Screen shot 2013-01-23 at 20.13.54.jpg

Is it linked to any previous scams?

I could swear I just saw Chris Smith on ITV 2 at the beginning of an advert for New York Bakery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Naaaaa! Don't think so.

Hi Guys!
I`ve been silently reading this thread for quite long now, firstly due to it being so breathtakingly interesting, and also because I`m actually doing my own investigation from where I`m standing-Poland. As You have already noticed BB-Poland is popping now and then even in Your findings, it seems it has been gaining popularity in a fast pace last year affecting a bunch of people "in my neighborhood".
That`s it for the introduction :)

As for the help I can offer, it would be of course unveiling the mysteries of polish language, if You come across anything You might find interesting yet hierogliphic in nature for You :) I know it ain`t much but still, You never know... :P

As for Martins link:

it seems the "top tier" from Poland has been invited to the SP office, listing the main pimps (also want to stick them here in this thread so they are not forgotten in their later "businesses":

Mateusz gużda - Independant contractor;
runs the site - iPrime Consulting | Independent Contractor of Banners Broker International - responsible for most of the "official" BB meetings in Poland
has a Filipino wife - with which he tried to push Philippines market, strangely enough the photos from some meetings held there have disappeared after some time...
as a bonus You can find quite detailed photo of the Invisible man on his fb page

Main pimps:
Wojciech Krupa
runs the site - www.thebestbroker.pl and the fb page
interesting enough, he posted his e-wallet with over 11k withdrawal

Dawid Jurczyk
runs the site - www.e-bb.pl and fb page

Marcin Okonski
runs the fb page
again, noticeably high withdrawal posted, over 19k.

The bonus, tattoo-leg guy Rafał Kujawa. Not really a pimp, but the non-removable ponzi logo on his leg earned him extra kudos in my book...seriously brainless ****
runs a more-or-less dead blog - http://rafalkujawa.pl

As for the general things going on in the not so recent past:
1. all of the pimps have officially stated that they are not directly recruiting anymore, just forwarding new people to their downlines
2. all of the pimps have smuggled NEW business opportunities on their profiels, coincidentally during the december-january period. The NEW stuff being: JSS tripler, ADIT, RICI, etc.
3. there is a LOT of drones popping out on the pimp profiles asking questions about, no payments, panels not moving/closing, doubts about the India situation, etc.

Sooo that`s it from me, just want to point out that You are ALL doing a GREAT job in here, and I will stick around for more things to come :)
p.s. sorry for my post-communism grammar

HOWGH!

Why would they bother??....This ponzi-scam has imploded.....It's game over.....Most of the promoters and bigger players have moved on to the next scam by now...

It certainly looks as if it is over, FB forums are NOT claiming any payments have been paid (It was supposed to be today......AGAIN).

Members are starting to moan, but for the most part they're keeping quiet, these people have been seriously conned and are too scared to speak out, for now,

One of the best moans comes from Rony, "All BB needs to do is 1 thing and 1 thing only....... CUT THE BULLSHIT........ =)"

He's was expecting about $4,000.

Some have already started to pitch other investments, but some are still introducing people to the forums.

Maybe they will payout tomorrow.

Parrot marketing also display the classic banners broker ads.

Parrot Marketing - The chirp in effective online marketing

Does anyone else know of any serious professional marketing company that carries these type of ads?

Another minor website designed to give the impression stellar point have large clients!
