"logged into my bb account, and it said 'account synchronisation'.
As soon as it had synchronised it said 'Banners Broker Pre-Paid Card Suspended.'"
There's at least SIX other people who've said the same thing.

Now we have two problems.
One is Banners Broker is using the prepaid cards as yet another reason to not pay it's victims.
Two is, "little old ladies" are now being drawn into international money laundering
I'll say again, at the risk of being even more boring than usual,
HYIP ponzis such as Banners Broker are NOT simply a few good ol' boys playing a harmless "money game"

The tax system is a Ponzi! Attachment 2939

Technically, anyone withdrawing money from a BB account by any means, whether be it by STP, Payza or or bank transfer is engaging in money laundering under EU law, which lays them wide open to having their money/property seized thanks to the various incarnations of the Proceeds of Crime Act that operate in member states.
The story LRM posted above references Robert Hodgins. For additional background, Hodgins reportedly supplied debit cards to the AdSurfDaily Ponzi scheme in its earliest days. His company's name -- Virtual Money Inc. -- is referenced in the original ASD forfeiture complaint/evidence exhibits in August 2008.
The Feds allegedly have evidence on tape of Hodgins discussing a deal by which he'd accept $100,000 to launder money in the Dominican Republic. Beyond that, the Feds say they have evidence that cards supplied by Hodgins were used to offload millions of dollars in narcotics "profits" at ATMs in Medellin, Colombia.
Speaking of Colombia, it also was one of the staging grounds of the infamous David Murcia (DMG) Group pyramid scheme, a collapsed MLM "program" that sparked street riots and may have created 400,000 victims.
As the PPBlog reported three years ago this month on the Murcia/DMG case:
__________________________________________________ _______
His jailers at La Picota prison in Bogota placed him in handcuffs. They wrapped him in a heavy, bullet-proof jacket. From there they took him to the Catam military airport under heavy guard. He was led to a plane owned by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Officials made sure that the moments were captured on film and videotape. They were sending a simple message: We will come after you, no matter where you are, even if you pretend you are Robin Hood.
And with that David Eduardo Helmut Murcia Guzman (David Murcia), known as the “Bernie Madoff of Colombia” for his collapsed financial scheme, was whisked to Miami. He’ll be tried in New York on charges of conspiring to launder millions of dollars in narcotics proceeds through his company, D.M.G. Group (DMG), a house of cards propped up by a pyramid-scheme involving debit cards and promises that participants would get back 100 percent of what they paid in and perhaps more.

BLOCKBUSTER ARREST: MLM Pyramid Scheme Operator Charged With Laundering Drug Money; David Murcia Extradited From Colombia To Stand Trial In New York
Is there no news at all from McCarthy on his trip to Toronto?
Anything on the forums indicating whether the Cork / Irish affiliates have been or not?
Thought he would have been preaching all the positivity and great times ahead, speeches after his trip?
Why is it so quiet? Is everyone keeping the head down and if so, why?
The BB tour (apparently) goes ahead, look where it's being held at.
The bbtour
Mind you, I don't think anyone's got a ticket yet, they appear to be non existent (for the moment).
Hmm, me either.
I don't remember seeing it earlier, I used a mac then, but now see it on a Windows machine.
Maybe it's best not to visit the facebook page, here's a link to the account holder "bannersbroker", https://www.youtube.com/user/banners...?feature=watch it's the video entitled "Banners Broker UK tour".
I think some people are jumping the gun here. We may wish that BB is finished but I wouldn't be so hasty as to claim it.
Any sign of Marsh? I'd like to get his thoughts on the state of play now.

Kind of goes against Terry Stern's we will only use a provider that serves all countries when he trots out the reason for not using PaypalQuote:
Affiliates in India now have a reason to celebrate, because we now have a new provider for pay outs who will be able to wrap up the bank deposit slip issue ASAP. The bank option will be removed for India today, but will be made available again in a couple of weeks as we get the system ready for our provider there.
Also standard quote of 'about a week behind' agaaaaain!Quote:
We are currently about a week behind, but again, now that the changes have been made we are catching up rapidly. Our IT team is constantly working to improve your experiences, and we're sure you'll appreciate their efforts.
oh how they love to compare themselves to google and yahoo. I defy any BB supporter to find on the net, anywhere, google or yahoo making such excuses for not paying their DEBTS in their third year of business! If you liken affiliates to staff members, the analogy seems even worse.

From the BB Netwrok Facebook page, posted an hour ago (apologies if you have seen this):-
(The bold emphasis is mine)
BBI is excited to announce an all new membership option coming soon called Executive. So for those of you looking to grow your business even further, there will now be three options: Standard, Premium and Executive. Aspects of this exciting new Executive option will be released soon, but it'll be worth the wait. (Don't you love being teased?)
With the new membership option there will also be a new panel level launched, called Prestige! There will be no colour with this panel level but rather a pattern to spruce things up. (Matching wardrobe not included)
Affiliates in India now have a reason to celebrate, because we now have a new provider for pay outs who will be able to wrap up the bank deposit slip issue ASAP. The bank option will be removed for India today, but will be made available again in a couple of weeks as we get the system ready for our provider there.
Regarding the panel speeds, we recognize that over the holidays they did not run at the same speed they have throughout the rest of the year, however there's no reason to be alarmed. This is not something under our control, this just has to do with a drop in internet usage, as less people are online at this time of year, but also keep in mind, that panels don't move at real-time. Also BBI does not guarantee any set times for panels to complete, but as the holiday season is now behind us sufficiently, traffic has once again increased across the net, and it will gradually be reflected in the panels.
Payouts have unfortunately fallen behind, but it's also nothing to worry about. We are rapidly catching up in all aspects, Payza, STP, as well as US Bank deposits.
As of Feb 1, 2013, in order to successfully with draw funds to the BB card you will need to have proper ID uploaded to the system. We are now completely up to date on ID approvals.
Here is some exciting news regarding the BB prepaid card. We have moved this system over to a more automated system to quicken the process for withdrawals. We are currently about a week behind, but again, now that the changes have been made we are catching up rapidly. Our IT team is constantly working to improve your experiences, and we're sure you'll appreciate their efforts. There will also be an announcement soon regarding a reverse option for the e-Wallet. There seems to have been a little confusion over this option, so to help alleviate that confusion we have re-worded the payout 'day limit' to read 'calendar days' as opposed to 'work days', which seemed to be the source of that confusion.
That's all for now so stay tuned. We're constantly working to improve your experience with Banners Broker International, and we appreciate your being a part of our family.
How do these people sleep at night? They buy their holidays and cars and go on about how much they've profited from 'their business' they have built up. At the end of the day it is other people's hard earned money they are spending, no profits to be made. What annoys me most is the majority encourage us to give up our day jobs, invest what we have (earnt from the jobs we stupidly did) and enjoy the easy life. As if we could all live off these imaginary earnings while no one does any (real) work, scum.
Rant over.
Umm? What?Quote:

First, internet traffic PEAKS every year between Thanksgiving and the end of the year. Are these bozo's that thick?
It's an assumption. How do you know it was hard earned? Maybe it was easy money as well.[/QUOTE]
It was my money he was trying to invest. I assure you it was hard earned.....
"My money" and "other people's hard earned money" isn't quite the same thing, is it? You made a post in connection with some moralistic trip. My point is the source of money is unknown to the admin, it could be easy money just as well. The people admin would come in direct contact with certainly aren't sweating for their cash.
