Reproduced post from My Advertising Pays Scam on Facebook



For those who don't understand why people say MyAdvertising Pays has a pyramid scheme component, comes this, straight from the horses' mouth:



You can view both posts, as well as up to date MAP status information on the My Advertising Pays Scam page on Facebook

Over on Slimey Simons page, somebody wants meetings in the USA.
Isn't it funny how people ask questions, get an answer, and still don't get it...

Whether you agree with the principles behind MLM or not, My Advertising Pays is NOT multi level marketing, it's fraud, pure and simple

* It gives you some understanding as to how totally blinded to reality most of the victims of HYIP ponzi fraud become and how emotionally, as well as financially invested they are.

One of the big noises over on Slimy Simon's page is one "Shaun Smith". He is now boasting regularly of all the referral commisions he gets from all his sign-ups, and teases other Mappers with hints of his "system" which he might or might not share with them.

I wonder if he is this Shaun Smith......or another one?

Forgive me if I have posted this previously. It's worth another look though, especially as MAPS seems intent of pulling more and more people in (which is of course its purpose). And of course it may be a different person entirely. But if it is not, I think it is very telling.

LRM, I do agree.

And as someone who does buy Avon products from time to time, I must defend them. I cannot see how they are in any way similar - at least when you hand over your money, you get your nail varnish or lipstick or skin cream. You don't have to buy a lipstick credit pack first, which will give you your lipstick when it matures.

Here's the gentleman in question:

Shaun Smith with his "great lifestyle" should have a nicer office. Just sayin'

My Advertising Pays - Scam page on Facebook

interesting, he couldn't just look at it and tell if it's a scam? really?

A straight answer from an MLM lawyer ???

You gotta be kidding me

You know the really good thing about being a HYIP ponzi pimp and posting on one of the "usual suspect" HYIP ponzi fraud forums ???

You get to make s*** up and, as long as you post it with an air of authority, all the little HYIPers will fall at your feet and call you a guru.

Take this pile of nonsense for example:



Now, who would bother answering a post like that, much less enter into any sort of argument with a poster with such obvious problems ???

and again contradicting the 'you don't have to do any work, it's residual passive income' with 'you're not working hard enough'. lol

Not quite sure what old Dickie is getting at here. I have a feeling that Facebook does not allow them to post links to MAPs (or something).

But remember folks - it's 100% legitimate!

Also, we can take comfort from the fact that Mike Deese has a 15 YEAR PLAN!!!!!!! for MAPS (according to Dickie)

Oh dear, someone should warn her.....

Interesting though she was in Banners Broker previously. I wonder how many of the Maps crew were? A lot, I bet. Some people just keep on falling for it, don't they?

This is Charles who runs his own Ponzi called AdHitsProfits. We have had some interesting exchanges, and that's what led to this post about not being required to be registered to do business. Typical circle-jerk logic, but it sounds impressive to the newbies.

I have just visited that site and read those responses from Jets. Oh dear. What a sorry effort! In the time he's taken to waffle on, he could have answered the darn questions - assuming he KNEW the answers, of course. Maybe he doesn't. But that would be odd for the "Communications Officer", wouldn't it?

It rather reminds me of the time when Finch posed questions to David Hooker (was it him?) to answer on behalf of Banners Broker. Well, some were answered (after a fashion) and some were not. We could draw our conclusions from what was said and from what was not said. As I say, sometimes silence can speak louder than a shout.

But MAPS is now reminding me more and more of BB. Don't you think? They now have dear old Dickie Arblaster as "Compliance Officer", and now all promotional material has to be approved (by whom? not sure) before members can use it. Just like BB. And meetings - just like BB. I am waiting for more technical issues and excuses as to why people cannot get paid - just like BB. The only thing we haven't had yet - maybe it will come - is MAPS defenders coming here to call us all "haterz"; and that the only reason we don't join in is because we are pathetic specimens who don't understand the programme!

Richard Arseblaster - 'Compliance' Officer?

'Scuse me a sec



There was a time when I felt sorry for this clown. Those days are long gone. I've been in a few biz flops before as I've mentioned a few times with the likes of this guy and he is one of those diehard (make that, pathetic) true believers in these schemes that always believes that some how, some way, the next one that crops up (after the others invariably fail/collapse/get shut down) is going to be the one that proves to everyone that these rotten programs are for real. He knows full damn well at this point that this is all BS yet he clearly thinks that he is going to get some scraps from the table to make it all worth while and a pat on the head from Simon. I remember trying to Skype him once and send some PM's on Facebook after RAN (Rev Ads Network) turned out to be yet another big ole' sham that we were in and he couldn't give a toss. Never heard a reply back and I know he saw my messages.

So screw him. He's as odious as any of the other big wigs pushing this fraud and all the other frauds they inflict on a lot of good people out there

I hope he gets his as much as Simon, Mark Ghobril and everyone else now.

For anyone with five minutes to spare, how about dropping around to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commissions' ScamWatch website and filling out a SCAMwatch Report a Scam online form (opens in new window)

They are interested in Australian based My Advertising Pays internet fraud promoters like Jetson (Jets) Fifita

While you're at it, perhaps they'd also like to see the sites where Mr Fifita likes to boast about his association with My Advertising Pays like his jets.fifita Facebook page and the jets-fifita LinkedIn page.

Or how about his bio on the My Advertising Pays Meet the Team page complete with why the AUSTRALIAN Competition and Consumer Commission are interested

Dickie Says..........STOP WHINING AND COMPLAINING!

Maps 92 Jan 15.jpg

LOL Serious business!
I would imagine the typical victim involved in MAPs would have trouble affording an accountant.

Maybe Tricky Dickie could recommend one, maybe his own?

You do have one don't you Dickie MAPs being a serious business and all?

Dear old Dickie (nearly 41, according to one of his 5 Facebook pages, don't you think he should know better by now?) is trying to erase the past:-

So, Dickie darling, you are removing all mention of......Feeder Matrix, CruisinXchange, Cyclone Team Build for Rev Ads Network, MoreShare, IML, Empower Network and of course Banners Broker, all of which you pushed from 2013 onwards according to this:-
