If what you say is true, all you need to do is read over the last 300 pages or so of this thread, if you have at least half a brain you will realise within in a few mins that Banners Broker is indeed a Ponzi scheme.

I take it you past the spelling test then?, I would let you off becuase spelling is not my forte either, but I'm going to assume you did not live for 22 years and fill out your place of birth on dozens of forms and applications and never figure out how to spell it.

Where do you get your information from? you are a goon, no wonder your answers are so short you must be as thick as a ..... bag of hammers

Are you in anyway related to David Hooker?

Tsiask was the surname.

Why did you come here Mac?

Because I am sceptical about it to.

Where did you hear about the jobs?

I was browsing indeed and it came up under call centre agent so I applied using my phone and they emailed me back inviting me to an interview.

Have you looked at jasonclarkinvestigates.com & finchsells.com?

A Mi'kmaq Indian? Rather an obscure ethnicity there. And very few of them in the world.

I thought Banners Broker frowned upon this?

Will they lock his account?

Alright, MacF, so you had your interview. Leanne should have at least given you the following information. Do you know :-

Your official start date?
Information about where you would be working - like an address?
Information about your salary - how much it is and how it will be paid to you (direct to a bank account?)
Is this a permanent job or a short term contract?

I mean, these are fairly basic bits of information.

They will only lock his account if he stops recruiting and tries to withdraw money.

You are allowed to break any rules you want as long as you are recruiting.

These are all the things that have bought me here apart from my salary and that the position is permanent I know that but as for start date I haven been given on just the training week so yeah I'm very much thinking this might not be what I thought it was

I'm going take you at face value Mac. You have to understand the number of shils that visit here means people, including me are very sceptical. I if have got you wrong I apologise.

Anyway, if you really want to know more about BB, I would suggest you read the information on jasonclarkinvestigates.com and finchsells.com. They should give you more than enough info to make a decision. Don't bother with the comments sections, just read the summary provided by jason and finch. If you have any questions let me know.

Hi I'm going to call it a day for now but will have a good look tomorrow and thank you very much if I do have any questions il ask you cheers :)

Come on guys, lets give the lad a break.

He has gone for a job interview in good faith and is now doing research. Jobs are not easy to come by nowadays.

Ask questions by all means but tone down the aggression. It may be useful to find out what his thoughts are and what he has been told about BB. Hopefully he will stick around and answer some of our questions but it would help if we didn't jump down his throat.

Perhaps instead of demonizing the victims, members would be better advised to reflect for a moment on how the criminals behind Banners Broker have now taken their fraud to the next level by involving desperate job seekers and the general population.

Do we know if the IP checks out as Urmstom Manchester?

Northwest England.

Different I.P. locators give different exact locations, but all of them in the general region.

Counting the human cost of fraud

Investigator who caught Madoff says suicide, depression just part of destruction left by white collar criminals.
Harry Markopolos says fraudsters often have no remorse, treating victims like bits of furniture.

White collar criminals leave a trail of destruction, not just in monetary terms but also in human terms, according to Harry Markopolos, the fraud investigator who uncovered the infamous Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme in the United States.

Madoff's fraudulent activities had already left a high "body count", said Markopolos, who is in New Zealand to address the inaugural international Economic Crime Agency Network conference in Auckland.
"It's the suicides," Markopolos said. "A lot of people get very depressed to the point of despair, and I know that the Madoff case had a very high body count," he said. "So we do have a body count from white collar fraud but it is overlooked and hidden. The damage to society and the loss of trust is incalculable."

Markopolos, who uncovered evidence that Madoff's wealth management business was a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme, said there were typically two types of Ponzi.
There were those that started with criminal intent, such as Madoff's, and those investment schemes which started legitimately enough only to "go rogue" when the market turned against them.

In the latter case, fund managers became too embarrassed to admit their losses.
"So what they do is manufacture or fabricate the returns and end up destroying a lot of lives," he said.
With Madoff - who is serving a 150-year jail term - it was never clear exactly how much money he was managing because of his insistence on absolute secrecy.

From his experience as a fraud investigator, Markopolos said Ponzi scheme fraudsters seemed to have some common personality traits.
"From the cases that I've done, [they exhibit] no remorse, no conscience and no consideration for others.
"They typically treat investors as 'objects of furniture' to be moved around at will."

Commander Stephen Head of the Economic Crime Directorate of the City of London Police said Ponzi scheme operators were often "very compelling" and charismatic.
They also took great care to spread word of their schemes in such a way that aroused as few questions as possible.
Head said Ponzi scheme fraudsters were typically intelligent people who had "tried and tested" means of drawing people in.
In the United Kingdom, some of the most destructive Ponzi schemes had been recommended by family and friends.

Markopolos said investors needed to be wary of returns that looked too good to be true, especially in the present low-return environment.
They needed to be aware of returns that were too steady and seemingly without loss.
He said investors should look for "segregation" between investment management and custody of the assets. They should also double-check financial statements to ensure that instruments had actually traded at the market price.

Markopolos said the cases he had dealt with had tended to be very large.
"Everyone has to have failed to [do] their job - the bankers, the accountants and the due diligence professionals. Everyone has to have failed before they get that big," he said.
"That seems to be the commonality," he said. "And of course the regulators have to miss it all as well."

I know it seems that I am being a thug with but he did state the hospital he was born in as a show of credentials.. and he got his spelling awfully mixed up, not that it matters where he was born but it does reek of a story being made up as he went along.

Someone going for an 18k a year administrative job in manchester and being accepted... should know better.
