Thread: Banners Broker HYIP ponzi scam

instead of playing games with them, just keep on asking the same 4/5 questions over and over. Surely anyone considering using BB to provide their ' pension, cough' would even wonder why a few simple questions couldn't be answered?

Where have you been?!

The case status is showing as Pending, then in brackets "ADMITTED".

Maybe I'm adding 1+1 and getting 1,000, but that looks to me as if she's ADMITTED the charges.

Look for yourself at The District and Subordinate Judiciary of North Goa

You want case status/party name in the menu on the left.

Maybe it means the case was 'admitted' into the court schedule?

Hi there.

I became aware of this whole Ponzi Scheme when my girlfriend let me know that her mom had been contacted by an old friend and he was enthusiastic about getting her to invest in online advertising so she could make a load of money, just like he had. So that immediately set off alarm bells, but I didn't know the name of the company until recently, so it was too late to convince her that this was a terrible idea. So yeah, she's already scanned in her passport and "invested" over a grand. So I'm just wondering if there's somewhere I can read all the important things you guys have figured out, like how it actually works, so I can be a bit more convincing. Also, if you know of any way for her to get her money back safely. I realise the last part is a long shot, but hey.

Thank you very much. I've already read the Finch Sells page but yours should be helpful too. Thanks a lot. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. With any luck, I won't have to do it for long.

Gosh, don't the Bbers making comments on the Mirror article show themselves up. Obviously, nobody has warned them that they are in real danger of libellous behaviour. That's a bit silly, really more than silly.

Don't get drawn into an argument on that mirror page.

A couple of comments I put on Facebook earlier today...surprised they haven't been deleted by now?

I love the bit about us manipulating the newspaper, amazing the power we have. The whole fourth estate must be quaking in its collective boots every time we log on to RS

Manipulating newspapers lol. We can give a heads up, or a tip to a reporter. But reporters will then go on and do their own investigations. But gathering a bunch of gullible old people in a rented hotel room, and flash mobbing them into parting with their hard earned money. Now that is manipulation.

Yup, why would we manipulate reporters for no monetary gain.

The things they say never make sense.

Good headline :-)

Whilst I agree the article is a bit evasive and light in terms of investigation into Banners Broker it is still accurate and true!

@Phil: Do you know if they are going to do a follow up?

No idea, last I spoke to them was before Christmas. I was surprised to see it today as they didn't tell me they were publishing yet. I hope they do as I think there are a lot of people affected.

Anybody else see this on FinchSells blog today?

I really hope you know what you are doing finch. from what i can see unfolding, you are going to get bitten mate whether you are right or not. this is not a threat against you or anyone else. its now snowballing into something thats going to end up with no winners.

Hmmmm strange comment indeed

You know, I got to thinking about "Chris" the other day and who he really is.

If you're going to have someone portray a non existent person, who better than one of your own family ?.

Does anyone else think Raj and Chris look similar ?, brothers, cousins ?.

There have been a number of comments previously about the likeness of the two. Some even thought they were the same person.
