London sewers are a tourist attraction now.
Perhaps there will be a few gaps in their tours for MAP to attract a different type of sewer rat. London Sewers

There are a lot of variations of this famous part of the movie. It still irks me that it's been used for anything but its original meaning. A matter of taste, I guess.

I agree that Downfall was a brilliant film, and Bruno Ganz did a wonderful job......but I still find the spoof video funny!

I don't think anyone should shed any tears over Julie Kenk not being paid by My Advertising Pays
My Advertising Pays isn't her first sojourn into the world of shady and illegal schemes and won't be her last
She's a serial ponzi player and has already moved on to pimping yet another scam

[QUOTE=littleroundman;92506][B]The questions on everyones' lips:
* Will it happen ??

* Does anyone care ??
I care. I sometimes think this forum loses sight that a lot of the 'Mapholes' are victims in this. I know that is what this thread is about but it sometimes loses focus of why it started. Our friend this end is in a position where he is a true believer and will not only lose his job but he has involved friends and family etc etc and has fallen for everything. He is your Mr Average, always worked his whole life and has just had his 3rd child. I want this to fail, it needs to fail and it will fail because it is a Ponzi. I hope whilst we celebrate the downfall of the top of the pyramid we spare a lot of thought to those that are actually good at heart, which also makes them vulnerable in believing what they are told. I may sit here quiet in the background, with the odd comment, but I have been doing the watchdog,trading standards, the police, tara talks comments etc etc. I wish I could do more openly but I am surrounded by a few 'Mapholes'. This is peoples lives, way more than the money gained or lost. Way way more, my friend is now in profit slightly chasing the dream, his family and friends are not in profit, chasing the same dream. This is going to be one dreadful Christmas.
re: Is My Advertising Pays / The Advert Platform A Scam or Ponzi?
I am here because I have that one friend, too. Yes, Good at heart and therefore vulnerable is the one thing, throwing good advice into the wind another. But I cant feel sorry for him anymore after being hurled massive abuse at - just for trying to open his eyes to the inevitable.

Our friend has never been abusive... nicest guy you could meet. He just thinks we are mad. But remember for your friend... this is a cult, they are brainwashed. He will come back to you because there is nowhere else to go. As I said, this is about more than money in so many ways and your friend is just another example of that in a different way. Make it easy for him to be humble when the time comes, that is what I intend to do.

that is hilarious and if you imagine his hand cramping from clicking his big 10 'ads' a day when he has trouble taking his glasses off, it's far funnier.
Haven't lost any money to online scams.......results are typical.

Hiya, Dandygal.
I think you've misread the intent of the questions.
"Does anybody care" refers to the announcement of events themselves and not to those victims who will undoubtedly lose their money.
Of course we care about the victims.
That's why we do what we do.
That's why this is a self supporting, volunteer driven forum with no advertising or "outside source of income"
Nobody gets paid for the thousands of hours it takes to run and maintain the forum and nobody is compensated for the money it takes to do so, either.
We cannot and do not judge who is a genuine "victim" of the frauds we cover, not when the scams' very existence and continuity is dependent on those behind the fraud appearing to be "normal" members themselves.
This isn't TV.
The "bad guys" don't wear black hats and only come out after dark.
They put pictures of their children on Facebook and Twitter and tell homely stories about their "normal" lives and their religious beliefs.
Hopefully "naming and shaming" makes people pause long enough to reconsider becoming involved in the first place, limit their potential losses, should they proceed and ensure when the "next big thing" comes along (and it will) future victims will be able to tell who is and who isn't a "victim" and who is a disguised "shill"
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

If your friend has read this thread and still insists on sending MAPS money what do you suppose if anything will set him straight? What would you do to improve the effectiveness of the forum in reaching people like your friend?
If he hasn't read the thread...
==================================
Having done this for a while my opinion has shifted between how hard some people are to reach and who is truly a victim versus a fool. Some days I feel empathy, others outright disgust, and knowing the end of this POS is coming Zenlike joy. If these scams never imploded, and people never lost, then we would look pretty silly calling scams a scam. With each "W" in our column the story people like http://www.realscam.com/f16/simon-stepsys-3342/ spin becomes that much less believable. Still, I like to believe most of us can simultaneously feel sadness for a "victim" while being entertained when a "fool" takes a hit.
The core group of people that post on scams are at it almost every day for various periods of time. It doesn't pay, you don't win many fans, rarely do you get a thanks, and even rarer "you were right." If scambusting is not entertaining or satisfying on an individual level why bother?

Hi Dandygal, I was in the same position as you when I started fighting Banners Broker. As you may already know, I was introduced to the scamming world because of my brother - who invested thousands in BB. He wouldn't hear a word against them, NOTHING I said made any difference. But in the end, when he finally realized the truth ( and got all his money back) , he told me that he had googled BB way back in 2012 and had found very little written against them. Fast forward four years and there is so much information on the internet from so many writers that my sympathy for people who join is wearing very thin.
I have enormous sympathy for people like yourself because you're the one who can see the car crash coming and can do nothing to stop it.
All we can do is keep trying, good luck

Is Danny Turner , oh sorry Doede Khan or whatever his name is for the day, really an adult, posting fake videos of airplanes with MAPS on it?. Honestly thats really convincing of a legit business. The guy doesnt realise how much of an embarassment he is making himself look.

With their payment arrangements for US Affiliates it's more like one of those planes that disappeared years ago. Occasionally someone will claim they found a piece of wing, but sadly the world will have moved on to new disasters.

How foolish do you think Gavin Mehl feels today ???
He posts this video from California boasting about how My Advertising Pays is the future of advertising and "ranking" ahead of Facebook and a month later, he and his fellow US members are kicked to the kerb by My Advertising Pays
