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

Hmmm.

If Simon Stepsys is SO fabulously wealthy, why does he always wear the same shirt?

He says he has been on the internet for 20 years, and earning from it for 18 years. This would take us back to 1995/ 1997. But we also know that our boy was caught out in 2001 when he operated WinStar Direct, operating a postal scheme, which you can read about here: House of Commons Hansard Debates for 2 Feb 2001 (pt 10) (Go down to February 2001, column 603). So he wasn't earning on the internet then, was he?

And why does Frank Calabro look so darn shifty?

And I thought they weren't supposed to talk about "earnings".

Those Alexa Traffic rankings just will not play ball, will they?

Despite all the hoopla about going at warp speed, truth is that My Advertising Pays is slower than most other sites out there....

Nice find, Della. Here's the relevant section with the unrelated cases cropped out:

Perhaps right after the Director of Mis-Communication clues this chap in on where he is headed Saturday.

Yesterday at 5:31pm https://www.facebook.com/myadvertisingpaysMAP?fref=ts

Hello, can anybody tell me about the venue for this Saturday presentation in London, I have bought the ticket but I could not find the address , please advice. I have asked in Simons face book as well but it seems they are not bothered........


Or Tony deletes the now growing mold cross promotion for the ad clicking scam 4X bigger than his.

If asked, the reply will be that MAP is just so popular that the largest information pipe in the world has a problem handling all the traffic. There are millions of people clamoring to know more about MAP and it just overloads the system at times. I mean we all know that Google has the same problem, as does FaceBook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Bing, Yahoo, Chrome and Firefox to name just a few. Right Tony?

still eerily silent on the Tuesday shindig.

Do you have the FB link for that page? I cant seem to find it

If I am not mistaken, this is an old post from the official MAP FB page run by Tony Booth. It was just recycled recently on another FB page I think. And to this day Tony has never replied with an answer to any of Jon's questions. Now one would think that if MAP was this great advertising program as it claims, these questions would have been a slam dunk to answer. Their silence speaks volumes about the legality of MAP.

It's a doltish dictate especially considering the first reason Simon lists for his group is "Social Proof Sells" and seemingly the only proofs relate to earnings and lifestyle. Oh every now and again some numpty will pipe up about selling four of their shitty e-books on other methods to screw people over from home.

Social Proof Sells.jpg

The narrative they are now half-heartedly spinning is they enrolled for the traffic. Simon Stepsys joined in December 2013 , how much traffic existed at that point? Well from his emails I know Simon is spon=195!!! He joined to get 194 other serial Ponzi Pimps to visit his offers?


At some point on this side of the computer you don't know what more you can do for people. If they can't see how often they have been misdirected and outright lied to then someone somewhere will steal their money and they may as well go for 1200.

Woo hoo now. Boo hoo down the road.

NOW it makes more sense, Richard:

According to "Downforeveryoneorjustme?" dear old MAPs has gone DOWN again.

Maps 785 Sept 15.jpg

But "Is it down right now?" says that it is UP, and has been for, ooh, the last 9 hours......which means it was down before...

Very unstable this multi-million dollar scheme that will be bigger than Google one day, isn't it?

Rather interesting that here it is already 8pm in London and still no word on where Saturday's noon event is going to be held according to eventbrite.com. Nothing on Simon's FB page nor the official MAP FB page either.

Name me one legitimate company, that claims it is going to be the next Google, that has to wait until the last possible second to announce where they are going to hold training meetings. There are none who are so blinded that refuse to see. This should be giving major cause and concern to the members as to why, and this should have red flags flying all over the place.

One thing is for sure, they will have to change the venue for the next big meeting, and play this game all over again. It would be too funny if it weren't so sad.

I'm getting the same, but reversed. "Is it down right now?" says it is down and "Downforeveryoneorjustme?" says it's up. My results are probably affected by the fact that over my 70mbps cable connection, it is currently taking 24 seconds to load the home page of MAP! "Porn-star-sized pipes" for sure! This is all so "to-the-script" for the way your typical Ponzi SCAM starts dying.

I think it is time for the dilettante "investors" who have been pouring real money into the pockets of the likes of Simon Stepsys, Frank Calabro Jr, Jamison Palmer, Claire Hartman-James, etc, etc, etc to stop and take a common-sense inventory of what their chances are of getting back any significant portion of what they have poured in to this SCAM.

Tony Booth said it best in a few Freudian slips he made in his FaceBook posts back in July:

"We will be here for as long as people keep wanting to join!"

"Our affiliates aren't that stupid! They believe what we tell them, and believe me, our scam will go on a lot longer than BB ever did"

"We allow people to really believe they are rich! Only the greatest scams can say that! You must take your message to the masses, Danny! BUY MORE! REFER MORE! MAKE US RICH!"

God, the caterwauling of anguish we are going to hear from the gullible masses when they stop throwing money at these con artists and the payments trickle to a stop ...

Speaking of Danny, just 23 minutes ago he was bragging and laughing that MAP had not announced the location of tomorrow's big event claiming it was driving us haters crazy trying to find out where it would be held.

No Danny, it is not driving us crazy, but it is driving the members crazy who bought tickets to the event that have no clue where they are going, and if they will have enough time to get there when it is announced. And Danny, I really do hope you are reading this because you should stop and ask yourself a few simple questions:

How could us haters get your event cancelled at a hotel without verifiable proof of what MAP truly is?

Why couldn't MAP prove it was a real company and stop the event from being cancelled at the hotel(s)?

What major advertising company would not proudly announce where it was going to hold its meetings, haters/protester be damned?

But Danny, how many "100% legit" companies have to hide their activities in this way.....??

Richard Mead has an interesting take pulled from right from the Amway tools scam! I don't see how "guaranteed success" is not an implied income claim. Certainly one can't attend and be guaranteed to make external ad sales.

Guarantted Success implies income does it not.JPG

Booth really stepped in it this week with his whopper "banks are falling over them selves(sic) to help us" seeing as MAP will be asking people for money at much less favorable terms to the company than any loan shark would dare demand.

Danny sure is full of himself not realizing this is a long game for many of us.

Someone came up with a BRILLIANT NEW idea this week completely unrelated to hotel cancellations. What it is , but it was BRILLIANT and NEW. Will it work, doesn't really matter MAP will collapse all on its own, and as you said venues are now single serving size.

Wittle Danny is obviously not of normal intellect imo.
The things he says make maps look even cheezier and scammish everytime. Its hilarious.
He embarrasses himself/maps as a way of life.

Guarantted Success implies income does it not.JPG

damn.....now I know why I'm so successful......I bought (and not just 'ordered') tickets to Aerosmith and Motley Crue once.
It really is fascinating how these two bit losers define success.

Well, I for one, can't wait to hear the regaling stories from Mike Deese and Tony & Lynne Booth after they attend the DMEXCO event next week in Cologne, Germany. After all it is the worlds largest exhibition and conference for digital media professionals, so they will definitely be in attendance. I'm sure that Charles Scoville will be there too.

By the way, the bet is that the event will be held at the VSC Center as previously announced.
