As I already pointed out, there was nothing wrong with their hosting provider here: http://www.realscam.com/f8/banners-b...html#post49435

And if the problem was with hosting provider how could they keep updating maintenance page ?

So this is how they get their shills to continue following them beyond their own beliefs. Here is what's scheduled at the Scotiabank Convention Center on July 20 (during the BB World Tour [supposedly]):

At least they hired a professional for ONE aspect of their business ;)

Not sure, Jerrygo. But JSSTripler2, the JSSTripler knockoff scam that launched a follow-up fraud known as Compound150 and also put itself in the purported "scratch-off" auction business in a bid to gather huge sums like Zeek, once claimed it would right the ship with a Blogging program -- but not before the Dengue Fever excuse, of course.

WELL.. this is it? server not even loading up or showing something...

Hi Everyone,

Im Tomas from UK. Sadly I discovered just about a week ago that Im involved in this ponzi scam. For all this time I believed I do invest in "on line advertising", legitimate business but thanks to You all I see what is going on and last days show clearly what BB is in real.
I cant believe that the UK authorities just do nothing in this case and big fish still can earn millions on the fools around the world. I can not believe also that this "legitimate" multimillion business use hosting for 5 dollars a month as I use, but mine is better as my uptime is average 99.6%, their is I guess far below 80% (I use "good" UK`s hosting).

Thanks ladies and gents for opening my eyes and reminding me that only way to earn money is hard work or a lottery, not BB....

Well done!

Cheers,
Tomas

ps. Sorry for my English, its my 2nd language.

Great to have RS back. Did miss it a lot. Is it me or are some of the options missing like bold etc from the message panel?

Let's be fair, ServerLoft is not cheap, the most cheapest promotion discount price starts at $79 a month (serverloft – dedicated servers – special offers)

And there is nothing wrong with the hosting, BB server just unplugged.
You can see all neighbor servers UP which plugged to the same router (209.239.125.37/209.239.125.38) but not BB.

this only proves what You are saying - pure SCAM hopefully on its knees soon... disconnecting servers and telling lies since day 1.

So BB can't even blame a cleaner unplugging a computer? Maybe they haven't paid their bill? Thanks for explaining this Niksam, not everyone on here is computer literate to these kinds of levels (ie me)

my fault, You must be right as these days DEDICATED server which is down? Means - You can close Your hosting business Unfortunately I can not afford to pay for dedicated and use shared hosting which is NEVER 99.9% up as ALL advertise - trust me...

so it must be a cleaner... ;)

AshKen, just PMd you

More inane witterings from my favourite affiliate......been very quiet recently......but of course, it's ALL THE FAULT OF THE NEGATIVE BLOGGERS!!

I was going to insert a screenshot, but am having difficulty doing that tonight (site seems a bit slow) so here's a cut'n' paste:-

CORPORATE NEWS AND UPDATES

20 March

Mastercard instructs Vector Card Services to withdraw BB Mastercard not, it appears, because of any lack of integrity on behalf of BB but primarily because of the effect/s of negative scammers and Mastercard feeling their brand image is tainted by association. More reason to sort out the negative scammers who take a thin piece of information and then twist it into something it isn’t. Ted Nam, CEO of Vector Card Services, who appeared on a BB webinar said,


‘I wanted to participate in this webinar to lay out the facts of what has happened, as I'm sure Chris and you guys are. Facts are, there has been a growing number of online campaigns originating from bloggers, independent and disgruntled BB'er and just plain bloggers, and unfortunately this has caused quite a stir. I thought we had a handle on them by implementing a online task force to go after these "counter-information" bloggers and with threats of legal proceedings. Unfortunately, the noise became louder. Despite what has happened, we believe this is a good business, and Chris has agreed to move forward to invite an independent auditor to come in and audit BB and prove this is a great company.’

Bold is disabled for some people?

Wonder how "independent" that auditor will be, if it ever comes to that.

And again, his little blog - I really do think he's an oily little tick:-

Kathy Kilby, my introucer, wrote today in her superb Skype support chat room, '.Had a discussion witha BB millionaire group member yesterday (no not the usual one) and it appears that BB is adopting a conscious policy of allowing withdrawals of $10,000 a month, max $2500 per week. This seems to be in line with Chris Smith's original concept of enabling the "ordinary person" to make a good income and not simply helping the rich to get even richer. There are several people and one in particular who have 2-3 million in their ewalletts and they have actually been told that they can have their money in tranches of $10,000 a month as at present. Looks like Equality with a very big"E" They are going to have to live a heck of a long time to get all their money out. It therefore seems to me that the strategy needs to be; to build up to around $100,000 (excluding unfinished panels) and then you should be able to take out 5-10% of that per month and still increase the size of your business.

Is it working? You betcha!

Ah but is it? Has he actually GOT any money out? Or is it all pie in the sky (or numbers on a screen?

And again - it's easy to see how he fell into BB, he will insist on calling bloggers "scammers" when really, it's not the people outside BB who are doing the scamming IMHO...

Pity that Mastercard have withdrawn their branding on the BB card, but not it appears through any lack of integrity of the Banners operation but, mainly because of the attentions of the negative scammers out there. Just proves how much damage they can do with little or no valid information. Banners is a growing organisation putting a tremendous amount of effort into ensuring compliancy and durability of the business. It may be in part because of this that they, in effect, make a rod (or rods, of course) for their own back. Right now the BB site is down because they are moving to a new larger server, such is the massive growth of the business (having gone from 300k members in Nov 2012 to some 400k now). But, the negative scammers don't take account of that.

Although I try not to be nasty about people, as I know a LOT of people in BB are innocent and thought they were getting into a great online opportunity, I can't help hoping that this person comes unstuck bigtime. Especially now when I hear a rumour about meetings starting up again in the South West of the UK. More attempts to drag people into BB, I fear. IF they happen, of course. He's such a shill for BB it's almost embarassing to watch!

Ashken,

We're currently under DDoS attack. Without the security that has been implemented the site would be fully down.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Aye, bet Chris had to pop out for some 50ps for the 'leccy meter...;)

My guess is they where kicked off their previous hosts systems because of the heat that was starting to be generated by various government agencys starting to investigate Banners Broker

So they figured on 48 hours downtime, 24 hours to find a new host 24 hours to upload the data.

Hopefully though now even the doggiest hosts will steer well clear of Banners Broker.

Will wait and see.

Hi thanks for the warm welcome.

I am currently still waiting on the forms from Barclay's through the post. Going to phone them tomorrow if they have not arrived by then. They asked me to send a covering letter and as much supporting evidence as i can when i send the forms back.. Think i might just send them a link to this forum! Haha

Has anyone else on this forum that is claiming money back through their bank had any luck???

Been lurking about on Simon Stepsy's Banners Broker Facebook page and it seems like he is asking people that are requesting to join Banners Brokers to buy packages through him. **** me you only have to look at this massive plastic **** in his cheap suit and spray on tan that he is a complete and utter conman. Seriously hope when this scam goes to **** he gets whats coming to him.. What goes around..

The BB "Facts and Updates" FB page seems to have gone in the last couple of days. Can't find it anywhere.

Maybe it was on the same server as the main BB site, and has gone the same way, eh?

Shame!

Interesting post over on MMG by The Guardianuno - number 7629 - worth a read, especially if you are interested in "The Pointer"

Banners Broker - bannersbroker.com

(By the way, thanks Guardianuno for your comments on Ms Kilby. She does not seem to have a recruitment site of her own, and I know very little about her. But she is the upline of my favourite affiliate, and I've been told that her immediate upline is "someone who is at the top of BB" - whoever/whatever that means.)
