Thread: Banners Broker HYIP ponzi scam

For all we know she could have been a switchboard operator for the whole building, but employed by BB. Unlikely I know, but remember we're dealing with slimy, manipulating rats (BB not Julie) who are masters at illusion.

I think it's fair to assume that Julie is and was above board and that the people that matter within the company are now aware of the potential issues, therefore I agree that it's only right that we desist from emailing other people in the company.

Hopefully they're grateful for being forewarned, I know I would be if I were in their position (but a little pissed off to receive mass emails about it).

If you read this Julie or any other employee/owners, sorry, but I did it with the best of intentions, as I am sure did everyone else.

well, I don't know if I said it already but I didn't send an email so Juli (it's Juli) but to every employee of the company with the same email and with the same links to the article about banners broker so Judi is not the only one in the company that knows, she's the only one that answered me back :)
sorry if I didn't mention that earlier.

Just saw this on MMG:

if your using banners broker, you'll want to join this one too its brand new and about 90% the same as banners broker.. but will have a lot more new members joining after you so there will be alot more money available to withdraw please look into it http://75.25.156.155:8088/bankontraffic/pbinstead im still earning with banners broker but why have all your eggs in one basket

But its not a ponzi...

Well, if past history is any indication of what is going on, he is blowing smoke about what is going on in India. In the ASD case, when their website was shut down and the office raided, it was announced that ASD attorneys were working with the Secret Service to resolve the issue. They said it was just a misunderstanding, and once ASD was able to present their case, ASD would be back up and running in a few days. It didn't happen, none of it. Shortly thereafter on the pro-ASD blog, they stated that the Secret Service had admitted that ASD was not a Ponzi, but they had to find a way out to save face. It wouldn't be long before their beloved ASD was back in full operation. It was all a lie.

The only people you should believe are the Indian Authorities. I see this as trying to put a positive spin on a very ugly situation that will only get worse. They are trying to keep people from panicking, when they should be panicking. I think this is the first shot of many more to come for BB. Besides, if this was true it should be coming from BB international, not some person high-up in the Indian operation.

If what she is saying isn't true its a really sure way of antagonising the authorities.

Hi, sorry to step in like this, I've been reading this thread since christmas (a family member introduced me to BB and I decided to read about it before signing up, glad I did, found this blog and am not a BB victim)

Just to let you know that Jaime Bento is a portuguese MALE name. BB seem to pretty active in Portugal. It's where I'm from.

Thank you for existing!!!

Yet another thing that does not make sense. So is this person using a fake name?

I've come across that page as well. It states female, but the female on the photo is the one Ana someone mentioned before on a picture with the other guy.
Jaime Pereira Sousa Bento is definitely a male name. Also "leao Jaime" means "Lion Jaime" Lion = Leao = male.

Leao is what you usually call a Sporting Portugal supporter (football).

Very weird.

Actually it states female on FB page. What the hell is going on??

Jaime can be both a male and female name.

Bit like Robin: in UK likely to be a bloke, in US likely to be a woman

Lindsay and Lindsey

Lesley and Leslie

And so on...

Yes but this person seems to be going under two different names?

hee hee hee. just a wacky joke.

@ Joe and the recording of Paul

What a blooming cheek!!

BB representative (Paul) saying that the type of staff they are getting (doesn't say much for their recruitment strategy) means that the company is subject to fraud?

How did he say that with a straight face??????????????????????

surprise surprise, the first concern is what folks? Yep, payment problems!!

if Mr McCarthy is to be admired for anything, it is his unwavering commitment to BB. Wonder how much he is 'in it' for?

There are alot of viewers on the thread at the moment. If you are a member of BB and have a story to tell, please feel free to express your concerns here.

That's the one that Alex (?) was trying to peddle on Finch Sells. It has also come up on the Twitter feed for banners broker (saw some stuff today). Next best thing eh?

Yes, I do.

If any browsing admin wants to change my username to Finch, that might clear up some confusion.

Otherwise, Martin is my real name. Finch is my nickname.

I'm seeing various posts about Bank On Traffic already. That looks to be the next BB clone. The guy who was peddling it on my blog, 'Paul Davis', was a complete whackjob who posted under multiple different usernames while using them to praise himself. In fact, I think he's still posting comments now. Got him on the spam/block list.

I see there are reports that the bb india website is back up and running. Is there a seperate site in India?

I thought that you just went through the main site?

take a bow sir, for I can tell you that when BB goes down, your blog will have had a far bigger influence on that event than you will probably ever know ;)

just had a thought, hope they are looking at the tax aspect in India also. When I was approached, I was told that I just needed to set myself up as an off shore company and bingo all would be good.

Are there any readers here with knowledge of Goa in terms of autonomy? Does Portuguese law still stand there? Is it more tax efficient than other parts of India? Why Goa for an HQ?

I've just ambled over to a Facebook page called "Banners Broker Facts and Updates". I'm not quite sure how I found it, but it's most interesting. There's a long list of postings from BB members, going back several months. A lot of them are complaints about payments not being made, payments taking a lot of time, people sending in ID to open an account but hearing nothing back for 16 days (loved BB support's reply: "16 days is not a long time, be patient"), problems with Allied Wallet, complaints about slow service from STP, pin numbers not being recognised (one person tried 5 times to withdraw cash from her BB card, being charged £2.50 a time, but not actually managing to get any cash), panels not moving for days ("server upgrade" was the answer to that)....it's a fascinating read. Support's response to most of it is to send in a ticket for help....and remember folks, be patient!

I also picked up that there are plans to introduce penalities if you go into arrears on your e-wallet by even a small amount, but as I said, some postings go back 4 months or so.

But having read all that.....it wouldn't give me a lot of confidence that this is a business that is working [I]that[I] well! Even though the heading at the top of the page says that "every member without exception makes revenue with Banners Broker"!!

Someone did ask about the India situation, but someone replies that "all is well". I think thought that this is a BB member, not someone from the BB organisation.

Interesting stuff.

@Delais: can you make a copy of that page before they wipe it.

Well, I could, but I don't know how to!

sent you a PM

Anybody else look at this on regular basis? Has some interesting comments on BB.
