I would think the alleged money coming in to one's account would speak for itself. Why would he need to beg anyone else to join if what he claims is true?Quote:

Added to which he is also suggesting that "mappers" go onto various other groups and pitch MAPs hard there. Meanwhile, the lovely Claire Hartman-James is boasting that she has had a payday of $800. Oh yeah?
I wonder. Are people not joining in sufficient numbers to keep this thing going? Because to my ears, The Virus really did sound a bit desperate. Oh please come along! And there are still technical problems, apparently. When I think about Bannera Broker, it seems that technical problems often equal delaying tactics. I wonder if that is the case here?

Where's that bloody tax department and Serious Fraud Office when you really need them ???
You know, if this thing is so hot, why is The Virus pushing it so hard? You'd think that he'd keep it to himself, or just share it with close chums/family.
But he seems to want more people to join. Surely that would dilute the money available.
UNLESS it is a pyramid or ponzi scheme that relies on people joining at the bottom to pay out at the top, of course. Which I am SURE it is not! (!)
Della had quoted this from Simon the V's Facebook page, it was in today's email:
Amongst many other things this incredible business has
allowed me to purchase a Brand New PORSCHE 911 TURBO S
for CASH this year at £146,500 ($247,000) buy a SOLID GOLD
ROLEX Watch for £30,800 ($51,000) travel FIRST CLASS EVERYWHERE,
Hire Penthouse Suites at £850 a night, buy the BEST of everything and ANYTHING I want,
and have total complete Freedom
I recall when Simon was screwing people out of money with Banners Broker there was a picture of him in a car with arrows pointing to all the things suckers paid for. I wanted to post that here, but found this instead:

First off, if your kid/dog/stranger does something cute, funny, weird please post that on U-Tube, that's why Al Gore invented the internet. Posting a video about a new watch is creepy, like blackhead removal tool creepy.
================================================== =================
GOOD PEOPLES CONSIDERING MAPS ....
He calls the Rolex an "investment" and his thumb looks like he spent the day at the salon. Not to offend any metrosexual readers of Real Scam, a man asking for your money for some "opportunity" is paying for that stuff with the fruits of your labor. There is no "opportunity".
I say this not even 1/2 jokingly at the end of virtually every scam these sort of excesses were commonplace. People are always looking for some "slam dunk" proof something is a scam, that seldom exists until that $30,000 Rolex is being auctioned off by the Marshall Service for $5,000.

Not for nothing but that video really proved nothing. The invoice looks like it was made in word (my quickbook invoices look far more professional and that's not saying much) and why was the alleged sellers name hidden? Because street vendors have no name? If it was a real, legit purchase, why hide anything? Wouldn't you give the seller props and free advertisement for them (especially if they are advertising on your alleged service (!) and if they aren't, shouldn't you be getting them on there?) so the next bb/maps millionaire knows where to go and buy one? Was he just sitting in the back of a store pretending he actually bought it?Quote:

Personally, if I have to see a video of a tool in action, I'd rather see the blackhead removal tool.
As you say; creepy!
Right at rain whipparoo. Another one of those things that turns in my head, even if it was someone approaching for a legitimate investment. Why on earth is Stepsys asking pikers for $50 each when he just "allegedly" blew $51,000 on a watch? Any sensible businessperson would buy 1019 slots, a Timex, and save the whole spamming the masses.Quote:

You should have watched the video till the endQuote:

Informants given record £400,000 by 'desperate' taxman - Telegraph

Thousands of people given taxpayer money for informing about tax affairs of ex-partners or colleagues
More than 250 people a day are tipping off the authorities about suspected tax dodging by acquaintances such as ex-partners, former bosses and neighbours.
Figures obtained by The Telegraph show that the number of informants reporting suspected tax-dodging activities to HM Revenue & Customs has risen by thousands in two years.
Last year a record £400,000 was paid out to people using the taxman’s hotline, as part of a rewards scheme offered by HMRC.
The majority who reported the tax affairs of others were thought to be bitter ex-wives and husbands or former work colleagues.
An informant can demand cash payments for supplying details of hidden, offshore bank accounts or a second income that was never declared to the taxman.
A reward of between £50 and £1,000 is often given if the information leads the taxman to a “big win” from a wealthy individual.
Every call to the hotline is investigated, but only a small number of the 97,036 whistleblowers last year were understood to have received taxpayer money.
A freedom of information request revealed HMRC paid out £402,160 in total, marking a 30 per cent rise in such “rewards” in three years.
Experts said the increase showed HMRC had resorted to “desperate measures”, spending taxpayers’ money to close the £34 billion black hole in its annual collections.
Adam Craggs, a tax partner at law firm RPC said: “The pressure on HMRC from the Exchequer means that it is turning to all available means in order to meet targets.
“It does not widely publicise the fact that it makes payments to informants partly because this is a controversial policy and also because it does not want to make payments unless it really has to.
“If too many people know that they can get paid by HMRC for providing information they may be less willing to provide information free.”
The hotline for tax informants was set up in April 2006, backed by a £1 million television and press campaign that showed a worker boasting how he “gets away” without paying tax.
Mr Craggs said the Revenue was aware that divorcees “knew where the bodies were buried” and often made the best informants.
An acrimonious break up could often prompt revenge, he said, and evidence of payouts would encourage that.
He said another major source of information was disgruntled employees, who may hold a grudge against their current or former boss.
“They will tip off on underpaid corporation tax and the use of false invoices,” he said.
Over the past year, the gap between the amount of tax collected and the sum owed has grown by £1 billion, prompting stronger action from officials.
Accountants have previously warned that HMRC had adopted a tougher stance on suspected tax breaches, preferring to act aggressively in its recovery, rather than using a measured approach.
Mr Craggs said the pressure to recover lost revenue might tempt the authorities to create a more formal whistleblower system, similar to that used in America.
The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) states clearly that American whistleblowers will be paid up to 30 per cent of the tax and penalties it collects.
“The criteria for paying informants should be clearly set out by HMRC as such payments are funded using taxpayers’ money,” Mr Craggs said. “It is important that there is proper accountability and for the public to know how much is being paid, who it’s being paid to and what it’s being paid for.”
A spokesman for HMRC said paying informants who provided “valuable information” through its hotlines was “appropriate in certain occasions to tackle those who try to cheat the system”.
“The payment of rewards is at the discretion of HMRC,” the spokesman said. “The awards are based on what is achieved as a direct result of the information provided and a range of factors determine the amount.
“The factors include the tax recovered, the estimate of the loss of revenue prevented and other measureable benefits such as the time saved in working compliance cases.”

I have a new blog page about MAPS:
TARA TALKS: My Advertising Pays - SCAM
Can I also please ask if you could pop over to the Facebook page MY ADVERTISING PAYS - SCAM and like it. Its run by a lovely lady who would really love the support!
Thanks so much :RpS_smile:
Definitely, Harrison! I'm interested in this thing, it looks a bit like BB in another guise - and significantly, Simon "The Virus" Stepsys is pushing it like mad! He is holding another recruitment session on 1st November in London. From what I have read so far, none of it looks good. We need to keep an eye on this one!Quote:

P.S. The MAPs is exact replica of the past "Frederick Mann", HJ Dockstader, Joe Read, Joseph Jardine and JJ Ulrich's ProfitClicking scam and their other past AdClickXpress, ClickPaid scams.
Over on Simon "The virus" Stepsys's MAPS success FB Page, I found this.
Words fail me. Honestly. I am completely GOBSMACKED!!!

And here are the leading lights at their event on 1st November.
Any suggestions as to why Stepsys is clutching a brush?

That sign with septic holding the broom is appropriate. It's what they'll all be doing for work once this implodes.Quote:

Hence the photo of him posing with a brush. How witty!
But wait. A roadsweeper does an important job. He /she cleans the roads and pavements and removes litter and rubbish from our lives. Meanwhile people like Stepsys spam inboxes and adds rubbish to our lives.
I wouldn't boast quite so much if I was you, Simon, my old mate. Going from a roadsweeper to what you are doing now, is a real comedown in the world IMO.
