Thread: Banners Broker HYIP ponzi scam

BB needs to put this disclaimer on its home page: We Are Professionals. Do Not Try This At Home.

Guys and gals, this was over when they took their 2-week hiatus over Christmas. The only thing you have happening now is the illustion of a business. They are trying to milk this for as mukch money as they fool more people into giving them before they disappear. All you have now is the winding down of the business slowly to keep people from going in mass to the authorities.

All you have to do is look at the number of payouts since they made the one big one in December, look at all the excuses they have had about the site being down, the MasterCard debacle, nothing about the new India office other than they were going to open it, and the list goes on and on.

This is nothing more than the execs of BB working out their escape plan. But here's something that would really be telling:

Make a surprise visit to the new Corporate digs in Whitby and see what you find. My guess is: no parking lot full of cars of the employee's, no 100 workers inside, no chef staffing the kitchen, and I doubt any working workstations, let alone a receptionist.

Hopefully someone lives in the area and could "drop-in" for a look-see.

I'll bet they do have at least some staff there. Staff who probably haven't twigged yet that they won't be receiving their first month's salary when payday comes around....

And then I would suggest emailing that website AND an agency over in Canada.

Over in La France, there was a competition advertised on the official BB France FB page.....

BB France 27 March.jpg

I mean.....just look.....BB Polo shirts and....BB perfume!!

OMG! I wonder what that smells like...??

Thought I'd post this from FB before it gets deleted:

Hooray I can log in!!!!! only to find that my projected balance will be negative by $150 dollars thanks to panels not splitting and catch up from traffic packs......what a great investment. Can't wait to write about this.

20 minutes ago

Back on the BB official Facebook page, we now have this claim.....nearly as much traffic as Facebook itself!

Well, to be scrupulously fair, there was something in the Daily Telegraph today about a DDOS attack (but it didn't mention BB):-

Yeah! that explains the site being down, the panels (whatever the bloody hell they are?) not moving.
The server moves but the panels don't.
The lack of anybody getting paid for months now.
Also explains moving internet hosts, Chris changing from white to black Kul and or Driscoll walking of with millions of dollars
and the whole thing starting out as a Straightline Cycler Doubler

Nice bit of luck for the guy we know as Chris, Raj, and Dave this cyber war. The BB faithful will keep drinking the Kool-Aid no doubt.

PS Nice OLD blog post here

They probably don't have 334 billion people all trying to access their site though....

There's only something like 7 billion people in the World, so where's all the visitors to BB coming from...??

Mars? The Moon? Alpha Centuri?

Gosh, these people crack me up, they really do!

Message to all BB affiliates: Please put brain in gear before engaging your mouth!!!

Thank you and goodnight.

I have been following this forum for some weeks now, ever since three people I met "casualy" mentioned they were into an internet advertizing business that was "amazing". I noticed most (if not all) of the red flags this "business" was showing and just with a bit of investigation was sure this was a scam.

I confronted one of them with the obvious and dubious nature of this scheme/scam and the answers I got were literally the same as everyone else who promotes BB. I have seen from conversations that these people have scammed several others thatr are gulable and have no idea in what they are getting into.

I'm from Portugal and the economy here is so bad that people are trying everything to get some money anywhere they can.

I have foud that there are three types of people investing in BB. The dishonest, who know it's a scam but dont cara as long as they get money out of it, the ones that realized that it is a scam and are losing money but are ashamed of admiting it and therefore claim it to be a good thing to try and save what they can, and the "suckers" who still havent realized they are in trouble and going to be broke soon.

Here in Portugal there is no proper agency to complain to and even if there was one, justice and courts move as slowly as the panels are moving now.

As fun I asked my "aquaintance" to show me an ad comming from BB ... still wainting now for a few days.... seems he cannot find it either.

Anyone gullible enough to still think BB is a real business is going to have no problem believing that Chris and Raj are also helping little green men double their money....

Now that you mention i

Didn't Han Solo win the millenium falcon at the Tatooine convention?

This is just getting more ridiculous by the day - DOS zombie bots attacking BB; 915 million unique pageviews PER DAY? I mean really, what sort of idiots really believe this crap!

Not as gullible as you think is Master Han....

I'm assuming that's a rhetorical question.....

Sure was.

I wouldn't be surprised if BB orchestrated the 'largest DDoS attack in the world' on Spamhaus recently, just so they can use it as an excuse for why their (BB's) website uptime is so *****.

Its actually not beyond the realms of possibilty that the (reportedly) Eastern Europeans behind that particular DDoS attack are receiving money from the Banners Broker ponzi. Assuming Rajiv is sharing the loot...

DDOS attack on BB is possible, perhaps there is extortion from other HYIP admins or hackers.
Why it never happened before on such massive scale ?
Well attackers were not sure if it is a legitimate company or not,
perhaps us and other places spreading the word opened their eyes as well and they started to use the standard treatment as they apply to other popular HYIPs.
