Good. Grief. Given up your job, eh, Les? Well, on the plus side, there are often adverts for bus drivers on the back of buses in many towns and cities, so I'm sure you will be able to go back to it!
And no, IMO those who encourage others to give up their jobs, either directly or indirectly, don't care two hoots what happens to them afterwards. By the time the nongs realise they've been had, the promoters have moved on to other things.

The video worked for me. Despite all the bravado about quitting his job, it looked forced and he is scared to death.
I just wonder what took him so long. They have been featuring/promoting him at most of the big rah-rah events all over London, showing him getting those big fake checks, and who can forget him and his wife trying to pop the confetti champagne bottle and screwing it up celebrating their 1200 ad pack purchase status. I hope he got some kind of severance package because he is going to need it in the very near future until he can find another nasty JOB.

If he CHOSE to resign and leave his job, then no, he won't have received any sort of severerance package. He'll get his last wage packet, maybe a bit extra for any holiday owed to him that he hasn't used, and that's it - out on the street and relying on MAPs!

Personally. I'd be reluctant to believe the "Paypal froze the account" story and more inclined to think My Paying Ads simply ran out of money.
Whatever happened, Julie and friends are discovering the foolishness of becoming involved in the second and third tier HYIPs such as My Paying Ads and Traffic Monsoon which attempt to piggyback on the popularity of "next big thing" ponzis like My Advertising Pays

Many like Leslie seem to reside somewhere on the spectrum between lazy and capricious. Otherwise why think clicking 10 ads per day could/should realistically replace a full time income? Certainly no one is going to pay anyone living wages to drive a bus five minutes each day.
Then there is that whole America thing, just wow, not sure how non US affiliates missed it. Even if I was thinking about quitting...

I think you're right Della the Gerbils of the world are using the "internet lifestyle" to solicit their scam. Look at "Mr. I Hated My J.O.B." , if he can do it so can you. Leslie may as well be the butt of one of Simon's cigars.
Full time, without suckering friends and family MAP pays about $30,000 a year. I'm not certain who in their right mind would encourage Leslie to quit for that. Why not drive the bus and click 10 when he gets home while banking the cash? Maybe after a decade of investing wisely he could quit for real. If he really hated his job, find something else and click 10 while banking the cash.
To me that would be sound advice even if I thought MAP was legitimate.

still trying to figure out how the gerbil is in and promoting something that's allegedly not available to the US. If I was another US person that's been scammed and told to f off, I'd be pissed about this.
Haven't lost any money to online scams.......results are typical.

Yeah, Whip, I wonder about that too.
I read somewhere that Mr G is a Canadian, and that's how he is doing it; but I thought he was living in the USA, and that people living in the USA can't be in MAPs. That it is where you are living that counts, not what your nationality is. Because presumably a US citizen living in the UK could still be in MAPs?
But then who knows?? The Gerbil is a "big" player so maybe they bend the rules for him?

Ah yes, Ribshaw, but then you are a SENSIBLE person who doesn't think that clicking on 10ads a day will make you rich!

Oh, look everyone.....MAPs is on Trust Pilot, and reviewed by "Richard" - Mead or Arblaster, I wonder? I just hope that naughty persons don't give it bad reviews, that would be terrible.
Which oddly enough is the same address associated with one Doede Osman Khan, of Dutch background, who was involved with generators for a while. Pure coincidence, I am sure:-
re: Is My Advertising Pays / The Advert Platform A Scam or Ponzi?
Indeed, back on page 72 (towards the bottom of it) of this very thread, reference is made to "Guy Martin"....who looks eerily similar to Danny/Doede, doesn't he?

I would like to know this as well. I just cant see how someone who works in the digital advertising industry and is prepared to go on record in a national newspaper calling MAP out as a scam could be anything other than a tremendous asset in the fight against this scam. All this kind of in-fighting does is make the scammers appear more legitimate. We need to present a united front if we are going to convince people against joining this fraud.
re: Is My Advertising Pays / The Advert Platform A Scam or Ponzi?
Jon here... Six months or so, and without explanation Tara blocked me from posting on the Facebook Scam pages, blocked me on Twitter and Facebook too - no explanation, no reason, just blocked.
I am in almost constant conversation with people in the digital media industry and journalists about the click ten a day ponzi schemes. The Sunday Times investigation into MAP's was at my suggestion, with me also introducing the journo to the other person quoted in that article and pointing the paper to various sources for further information (including the TaraTalks blog). The Facebook MAPs Scam page didn't even mention that article, never mind post the link or comment on the feature.
Due to the fact I'm London based, it was easy for me to walk into the hotels and speak to the management about MAP's events and suggest they take a bit of a look at what kind of organisation they were taking money from. I don't use an alias, and I'm fairly googleable so I'm putting myself out there.
Tara has done an incredible job dedicating time and effort to fighting scams, and documenting all the bullshit that they have spewed, and I have no desire to redact that.
I'm part of this scam fight as I've spent 16 years playing a very small part in creating the digital advertising industry, and have a good reputation within it. For me doing nothing whilst knowing I could would be incredibly upsetting for me.
I'm here to fight and share, and although I have loved reading the RS pages (without ever posting), I find Facebook a far better medium to get the message out and connect with both like-minded people and the mappets themselves. I stand by all my actions, knowing that MAP's is unable to dispute any of the points I've made, and that I know the articles I've helped and the hotel cancellations have had a material impact on their ponzi recruitment.
So, I'm still blocked on the Facebook Scam pages, and Tara has so far not commented about that.
