Thread: Banners Broker HYIP ponzi scam

Here's a question - prior to Stokes introducing the $8 million Sheikh, the top earners were allegedly Simon Stepsys and Jens Holvoet. Stepsys "only" claims BB-career earnings of $2.5 million, yet he is down chain from Ian Driscoll who, in theory, must be on higher earnings and the sheikh, with more than three times as much, is nowhere to be seen.

So, is there really an "$8million Sheikh" and just how much has Driscoll skimmed off, and if it's millions why can't he afford a decent shirt?

With Simon Stepsys' reputation, Mr Driscoll would have to be stark, staring nutso to put anything "decent" within range of Stepsys' sticky fingers.

It's one thing to give someone the shirt off your back,

It's entirely another to have it removed by Britains' Prince of Ponzi Pimps, Simon.

Funny what you find on the web...

Since were talking about shirts. Look at the Polish bb management team. Must have gotten a bulk discount. Or is it a uniform?

Could be worse, they might have gone with the "Simon Stepsys Stripy ****" look*

WARNING - sarcasm ahead....

The answer effectively then is, "no", the guy simply materialises out of thin air, fully grown, clutching a set of mathematical workings that will provide vast riches to anyone who will back him, whilst ending world poverty at a stroke..

More surprising is that, given the "genius" of his plans, the only people seemingly willing to put their trust in him are a bunch of ponzi scammers.

Just goes to show you how this financial crisis has affected the way banks and big business view what is obviously a talent worthy of a Nobel prize....

/sarcasm

In this rare spy photo, they are seen celebrating the fleecing of many people:

Oh and would someone be kind enough to let me know what you have to enter for the rolling on the floor crying with laughter thingie?

I think that is enough thread drifting.

As for BB,Does anyone else think BB lords might do a Fred Mann and "sold" the company at the last minute?That way they could possibly blame the eventual failure on the "new management".

surely any legit potential purchaser would want to see accounts etc, what can you buy and who would finance it without some sort of paper trail?

lol..........

Chris and Rajiv, similar but different (the thought had crossed my mind a while ago). No idea how old the one of Rajiv is, the one of 'Chris' is recent from Dublin. Its actually hard to find any pics of Rajiv or 'Chris', or Kul/Kurt for that matter.

Ponzi speaking about ponzi.Isn't it the best way to fool the crowds??If they were ponzi they would never speak about ponzi - something like - if they have Master Card,they must be legit.I remember a scene from movie - A men was leaving house and wife asked him where he was going....he said - to my mistress - The wife was laughing,kiss him gently but the men really visited mistress...so the BB ...the lords of lie

Main headlines Tonight

Driscoll (supposedly) gone?

Last leaders call of the year

Thanked for all support during 2012 – Raj talked about the journey we have taken over the last 12 months

Thank you for communicating the correct information to the field and thank you for your support despite the challenges and hiccups we have faced.

Special thank you to the IC’s for all the work they have done.

Pay outs all on track – we will meet our target.

Payza pretty much caught up – opened up as a withdrawal option expect for UK, USA, India and Bangladesh, deadline to receive that before Christmas was December 5th.

STP was 6 weeks behind, we are now 2 weeks behind, approximately mid to end of November. We sent out 1,000s of STP withdrawal requests over the weekend. The limitations with STP is more a technical one and the volume of transactions. We are catching up and are looking to have everything withdrawn prior December 5th paid by December 20th.

USA Pay outs, everyday last week and everyday this week deposits will land in USA accounts.

BB Card, we are paying to the cards every day last week and again every day this week. If you have more than one request, your payments might come across three separate days rather than all on the same day. Deadline was December 14th

You need to make sure that there is space on the card to accept new loads, unless the load will fail.

India pay outs, we are trying the Bank Pay out option again – make sure affiliates have the updated bank details in the back office.

Next payout all methods will be January 8th.

Reminder about Allied Wallet whitelist procedure discussed previously.

It is nice to see the positive comments when you guys get paid.

Friday December 21st 4PM EST will be the last day the offices will be open. Reopen January 2nd. Support ticketing system will be offline during this time. The site will be monitored every day, IT will be on top of things. If there is an issue with the site, we will still be here and this will be resolved.

Like last year, there will be a few calls scheduled during the holidays.

Finally, following some restructuring, the Independent Contractor for the UK has not had their contract renewed effectively immediately. All support for the UK can either go to Ireland or Stellar point in Canada.

When we make a decision we always ask the three things (is it good for the Affiliates, is it good for Banners Broker, is it good for the longevity of the company) and in this instance we decided it was.

BB has not closed in the UK – there will be a new office opening up in January, probably run by Stellar Point who will appoint a General Manager.

We will not go into the reasons why but there is no public cause for concern. **

2013 is going to be a fantastic year and we look forward to the upcoming success.

No interactive Q and A, posted answers;

Q: Do you have an update on the payments to missing TP subscription commissions?
A: We expect this to happen this week. We apologize for the delay

Q: Some affiliates reported STP payout recieved, but some still pending for cut off 5th december.
A: That's correct. Thousands got paid this past weekend via STP, however there are more batches to go through prior to Dec 20, 2012

Q: waiting for stp 24th oct
A: We are past the withdrawals for October, and deep into November. Most likely the account has a negative balance.

Q: the new pack is coming next year?
A: yes

Let me take this opportunity to wish you all a fantastic Holiday Season and I hope you get the success you deserve in 2013!

Jamie

• Richard Arblaster Biggest news out of that, Ian Driscoll is no longer IC for BB in the UK with immediate effect.
  
• Mark Stokes HE DIDNT WANT IT he has made too much money and now doesn't want to be owned by BB as an employee type position..
• Scott Feely Ah wondered what had happened there : )

** The words Rat, Ship, Leaving, and sinking spring to mind.

My guess is Driscoll quit because he couldn't take the stress anymore. Nobody makes too much money then decides he no longer wants to be an 'employee'. Besides, he was an Independent Contractor, right? So Mark Stokes idiotic reason fails immediately.

I wonder if they will file updated paperwork now removing his wife Leslie as the sole shareholder and director of BB International, in the UK.

This has been posted in the main Dashboard of BB.

Important message for affiliates in United Kingdom.
All of us here at Banners Broker are excited to announce that our UK office is being relocated to Manchester. The new offices will boast of a 100 seat meeting room, full audio visual facilities together with a General Manager responsible for the ongoing development of our United Kingdom affiliates.

To celebrate this exciting move Lorenzo Guarini Banners Broker Brand Ambassador will be in the UK during the first 2 weeks of January to facilitate the office opening. Lorenzo will be joined by David Hooker later to conduct a nonstop city by city tour of the UK meeting and working with affiliates as they build their BB businesses.

Whilst waiting for the new office opening please direct all support questions through the normal channels. For live chat call Ireland on 0035 321 439 6700 or International Support on +1 905 233 2351.

We wish Ian Driscoll and his wife Leslie all the very best for their new business venture.

All of us here at Banners Broker are excited at the new move in the UK and of the potential that lies ahead for everyone in 2013 as we spearhead our expansion into Europe.

BB Team

Interesting! Will have to keep an eye out for the new address cropping up!

McCarthy next maybe?

If you'd said McCarthy had gone, I would have said that was a good "business" decision.

Driscoll? Hmmmmmm, bit of a shock "effective immediately" normally means you've been sacked. Ouch! And just before Christmas as well - if he's been an employee for 2+ years, of course he may wish to sue them for wrongful dismissal. Now that I would like to see

I'll look forward to it.

Monday is nearly over.

Any sign of our brainy friend?

From the post by Joe further up...

Great customer service - not!! No, I'll go and check what's happened to your payment request. A flippant, off-hand comment. Wouldn't make it onto any scorecard with that kind of response for any other legitimate business.

If I were that customer/client I'd be hitting the roof on reading that. Of course, there is no recourse though is there? You have to take the lumps and like it.
