Thread: Is My Advertising Pays / The Advert Platform A Scam or Ponzi?

So, right, with MAPS you have to look at 10 ads a day (for 10 seconds each time), and from that you make money?

Oh, that and buying "credit packs" of course. And clearly from recruiting others.

Based on what I have learned from BB, doesn't that make it yet another pyramid scheme or ponzi scheme? Trying to keep objective here, but I cannot see how looking at 10 ads a day can make you any money. If you do make money from this, it can only be fractions of a penny per time. It looks to me that this is pretendy work to try to cover the fact that the heart of the scheme is credit packs and recruiting.

I'm not convinced. And the main reason I woulod never join can be summed up in two words: Simon Stepsys.

It's exactly what Ad Surf Daily (ASD) was.

Oh, right. I have heard of ASD, but know almost nothing about it. I assume it does not exist any more?

Leading on from this, I have had my calculator out. Now, it seems to me that MAPS urges people to work up to 1200 credit packs.

1200 credit packs at $50 each would cost $60,000. The promise is that each pack costing $50 "matures" so that you get $60 back. So if you had 1200 packs you would have spent $60,000 to get $72,000 back.

That is an awful lot of money, both to spend out in the first place and then to return. However, you only need 100 people giving you $60,000 and you have got $6million. But none of it seems sustainable to me.

I don't think they will get many people putting that amount of money in (at least I hope not!), but they certainly have had some people buying 100 packs at a time at a cost of $5000. It's not hard to see how the money rolls in. And it's not hard to see why people like the repulsive Stepsys push it so hard and push people to buy as many packs as they can.

Looking at the amount of money Banners Broker pulled in - well, many millions - its also easy to see why people start these schemes. The whole thing makes me feel quite sick.
