I've yet to see a website advertising BB (or with an advert supposedly delivered via BB) that isn't either part of the Choice network, or owned by a BB affiliate.
So a quick look at tvphd.com (or TVPortugalHD.com) - registered anonymously. But there is another site hosted on the same IP address theroyalmail.info. Typing in this URL and you get auto-forwarded to tvphd.com. theroyalmail.info is registered to DocLocker.com, who is a cloud computing based business in Sydney (not a domain registrar). I thought perhaps they do the video serving or something for tvphd, but that doesn't really fit in with their 'About Us' business.
So why does a Portuguese site purportedly hosting BB adverts have a link back to a non-related Australian company? As you can tell, I'm always on the sniff for Australian and NZ connections... but could be off on a tangent here.
I'm not surprised, you can find math geniuses in rather unexpected places

I hope you guys didn't scare china away,he is truly one of the most entertaining posters of late.Made me laughed almost as hard as the best of cracked articles.
Does he REALLY need to know? I, for one, also tends towards respect 'street smarts' far more than academic geniuses. Gates, Dell, Zuckerberg were all college drop-outs. In their respective companies' early days, none of them had much of a track record, and all had one thing in common, they were geeky, or nerdy kinds of people with an idea, a vision and the determination to make things happen, and all quite literally started out working out of a garage.
Yes Roger, but all those people went to school, had classmates, people who could say "Yep, he was a nerd/great guy/maths genius/sociopath". All had this little thing called 'history'. We can even find some of your history easily enough. But find history on 'Chris Smith', IT Genius and Maths Whizz, Inventor of the Greatest Marketing Program in History - nada.
The CEO of my comparatively miniscule company gets more news time - I think he's had 6 or 7 pieces published on him this year. Chris Smith? - nada.
I can Google my CEO (or the CEO of our opposition), and his (their) name comes up with all sorts of hits. Chris Smith? - nada.
Not a single piece of news column space has been used anywhere in the world saying "hey, better keep an eye out for this guy Chris Smith - he's setting the world on fire". However there has been 4 or 5 newspaper articles on Banners Broker itself. They weren't very good reading if your an affiliate though, so I won't post the links here.
Consider all those Wall Street whiz kids.
Have any of them heard of him ??
Consider the squillions of advertising dollars spent each day on Madison Avenue.
Any of them hear of him ???
Forbes Magazine ????
The Wall Street Journal ???
The investment guy on the news every night ???
Someone ???
Anyone ??

I'd suggest he or she also starts using correct Queens English, and not in "text" mode.
Would anyone, anywhere honestly consider going into any sort of business with someone who presents themselves in such an unprofessional manner as "china"?.
Now let's be fair to BB, the vast majority of people in there tend to be of reasonable intelligence with the capability of stringing together coherent sentences and not some knuckle dragging bufoon.
What a bunch of dills, seriously - on your side of the fence your excuse for not posting your real name is you'll get harassed (yeah, by lawyers for your defamation), and then you turn it around by stating that if we posted our real names we'll risk having our BB accounts closed (or suspended). So what's your point ??
I'm a BB member and just like you would like to get my initial INVESTMENT back, that is why, at the moment I don't use the same name as I do on BB.
Just like you I'm worried BB may be a Ponzi scheme, I've accepted the fact, you haven't yet, but you will get there at some time (it could be when it all goes tits up though).
Buddy, lawyers ain't gonna happen until they can get their fingers onto your real names and addresses, then you'd be taken to the cleaners. Trolls are an interesting lot. Big on balls but when it comes to the crunch, it's time to weasel back into your little hole (visualizing an image of Saddam Hussein in his final moments just as he was about to get plucked out by the US military)... Seriously.... None of this would hold any water in any court of law. 2013's going to be an awesome year for some of us. We'll have a chat this time next year, and if you just happen to be dropping by sunny Melbourne, let me know, we'll have a couple of friendly drinkies on me, howzat?
I can confirm I have had no letters from lawyer's representing banners broker.
I tend to agree with you on that one, Steven. Withdrawal #1 was about $30 short of the sum total I've put into the whole BB thing including fees and such, I do have some concerns about certain aspects about the whole BB operation might not be construed by the lawmakers as totally legit and above board, in that it MAY have some level of "ponzi element". As with any "opportunity-based" business, there's a real risk of the whole thing going belly-up and pear-shaped, whether that's a remote risk or a real one coming real soon is open to speculation and is anybody's guess. The Amway corporation, regardless of your opinions about that company or its founders, Mr Van Andel and De Voos, had to cross this bridge quite some time ago when it was labelled as a ponzi, scam and multilevel marketing scheme. The legal waters were tested in a court of law in front of magistrates and a prosecution presenting real evidence, not some wishy-washy collection of stuff scraped off the net. To the credit of what I tend to call dream-stealers here on BS, sorry RS, what you guys are up to here must be like a drug, a kick, a buzz, call it whatever you like. It could just well be you might be on to something, let's not discount such a possibility because there's certainly some valid points being made here, in particular when references are made to BB's "early days" where it has been shown the company was seen to be promoted by affiliates as some kind of doubler / cycler, or whatever you want to call it.
wow, some fat dude from the Gold Coast with a couple of stock company BB videos on his youtube channel and expressing his excitement receiving his BB prepaid mastercard wearing a T-Shirt that says 100% Pure Dynamite... Rip-tickling stuff to say the least, but I hardly think he's going to be hauled off in the back of a police paddy wagon to the local big house for being involved in what is alleged as a ponzi scheme, there doesn't seem to be much of a recruiting effort here like 'join here' etc - compared to what some of the other 250'000 or so BB affiliates are up to, with videos on youtube, going through their eWallet proclaiming how much money they've made how easily, and spruiking BB big time....
Lol, you lot are unbelievable!
"its not a Ponzi, Its not I tell you"

Re lawyers - if there were any papers to be served, several news media and blogs would have heard about it by now. I'm sure the board admins here would be quite happy to give IP addresses of posts if legally required to do so.
However, to speed things up - any lawyers reading this are quite welcome to message me for my personal contact details.
Since anyone here that has an IQ of room temperature knows who I am, I'll play your silly game. I will post my real name, address and phone number if you, waverider, will do the same. So put up or shut up as you told us earlier.
in all due respect, the ultimate decision whether BB is some kind of ponzi or not, is a decision that need to be made in a court of competent jurisdiction, with real evidence and a real prosecution, not a bunch of wannabe detectives who hide behind their computer screens and keyboards using fake screen handles, just taking a vicious poke at everything, anybody and anything that's beyond the scope of their 9-5 employee (or subcontractor) mentality lifestyle. I don't fully understand it, therefore it must be a scam or a ponzi. There's only one way this argument will ever be settled, and that's if and when BB are required to formulate a defense showing their business model is not a ponzi, but where the majority of revenue comes in fact from advertising revenue and not from member subscriptions (which are basically purchasing more advertising inventory as there are no joining fees, aside from the monthly admin fee).
I hope you realize the potential implications that can result in publicly defaming companies and individuals on the internet. The resulting law-suit can well strip you of all your major assets, depending on your juristiction's bankruptcy laws, certainly kiss your mortgage and house goodbye, the resultant fall-out may well see you demoted from your beloved 9-5 employee lifestyle to one on unemployment welfare when your boss sees your spiteful attempts at sinking a reputable company a threat to his own business, potentially playing with fire here, but that's alright, you're so damn sure BB's a scam and a ponzi, just stick to your guns, but don't go screaming conspiracy theories and such when the **** hits the fan. On the other hand, it may well be a scam. Doubtful, but everything's possible in this world. You don't have the facts, just wishy-washy crap scraped off the net. On the other hand, from the pro-BB side, we can't really offer a hell lot more ourselves either, as much is propaganda from the upper echolons of the company, plus personal opinions and feeling from the various affiliates.
Honestly and seriously, WHO are you going to believe? There'd be about a dozen or three vocal anti-BB people here, really vocal ones, plus a few more with their doubts, thanks mostly to the vocal ones and their wishy-washy "evidence" - there are approximately 250'000 affiliates in BB, even if that number were just 100'000 which is what the numbers thrown around were when I first joined, whether it's 100k or 250k affiliates or a thousand with a grudge of some sort, WHO are you going to believe? There are valid points made from both sides, but the pendulum always tends to swing towards the majority.
If there are truly ballooning numbers of disgruntled BB affiliates owed money, and thus with a serious grudge against the company, wouldn't it be prudent to assume that there'd be a pattern of formal complaints coming together to the various law enforcement and investigative agencies that pounce on misleading and illegal activities in the various juristictions around the globe? Surely there's got to be more than a couple of news articles in some popular irish tabloid, the examiner and some radio program? Like the irish tap dancer, kept falling in the sink.
