I don't undersatnd why he is complaining. The whole MAPs thing has been sold as an easy way to make money, hasn't it? Our boy Gary "Thirsty" Strong keeps posting videos /pictures of himself getting sh*t-faced, boasting that he is still being "paid every 20 minutes". Others say they are earning while out walking/at the gym/playing with the grandkids/etc. The dream dangled before Mappers has been to get to 1000 packs - "Diamond" status - and then live off the "income".
So why is Simon complaining when the people before him have only done what they have been advised they should do?
Unless of course they need more money coming in from newbies to keep the whole thing going? He says in the video if they all brought in 10 more people "just think what that will do for your business". Well, what will it do? Shouldn't do anything as MAPs is an advertising business, right?
Simon claims 95% of advertising revenue is being paid out to members. I too am left wondering where any reserve may have come from since it is advertised almost all money is returned to members.
Mathematically speaking since Simon uses "revenue" instead of "net income" or "profits" MAP would certainly be operating at a deficit under this model. If 10% of each ad pack sale is paid in commission there isn't 95% left to share.

All the same I never cease to be amazed that people constantly fall for such empty rhetoric.
YES!!!

Long term ponzi / pyramid scheme watchers will immediately recognize a predictable pattern emerging in connection with My Advertising Pays.
More and more reports are emerging of accounts being blocked and / or confiscated.
If you overlook the fact "Peter" is recommending the next "next-big-thing" what he describes as having happened to him is common practice when a ponzi / pyramid is no longer attracting sufficient new members / money to continue paying existing members
Just as Mike Deese, Septic Simon Stepsys and the Booths did with US members, accounts are confiscated without notice and the balances are lost to keep up the facade of My Advertising Pays" "success"
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing
Sounds a guy you'd really trust with business advice. Looks really professional flashing a few fake notes off. You see Richard Branson doing that a lot has an 'Entreprenuer'!
I've underlined part of it that I find especially interesting. "More join, more by (buy) credit packs, and everyone's journey is shorter". Is he really saying that the scheme needs more members pumping in money as its life blood? Because wouldn't that make it a ponzi scheme?
Is this the SAME Mark Ghobril who was such a big noise in Banners Broker? Who is promoting MAPs madly? Who has lured people into two schemes that I know of, and is here, warning against another? Yup, it certainly is!
Mark, sweetie pops, considering your personal history of involvement with schemes, including MAPs and BB, isn't this just the teeniest bit hypocritical of you?? I mean, where was your concern for people when BB crashed and burned?
I haven't got the screenshot of you saying you would personally pay people back if BB proved to be fake, but I'm sure someone else could supply it. Tell me, have you paid people back yet?

Oh, hang on, wait a minute.....
I don't see what's so hard to figure out that if you want to sell legitimate advertising, you go to where the legitiamte businesses are. That's not a secret.
ooooooooh...........
Haven't lost any money to online scams.......results are typical.

Here's a very important lesson for young players:
When the pimps start telling you not to withdraw your earnings, you just KNOW the scheme has money problems and it's almost too late to get your money out.

We are all in this together right? None of us like these thieving scammers, their dodgy Ponzi schemes, and their naive and gullible Ponzi victims.
So why in God's name is the "My Advertising Pays - Scam" shutting down/deleting/banning good people from being able to post and share there? I was personally (most of you know who I actually am) banned from posting there for no named reason, and I have had other good people get in touch with me to say that they have had similar poor treatment.
Harrison, you know there are other people trying to help close this (and other) scam(s) down? Your behaviour of deleting posts and banning users puts you in the same league as Tony Booth, Danny Turner and Gary Strong. I believe you're better than that, otherwise you wouldn't put in the hours of hard work and dedication you do.
I invite you to comment here as to what your reasons are for treating people who are on the anti-scammers side like this, or just unban them (and me), and maybe we can get this BS Ponzi scheme shut down faster and help less people lose less money.
I'm so glad that MAP is a world-class business and only attracts the very best and upstanding business professionals as members. Otherwise they would be holding their "opportunity" events in pubs and hotel conference rooms, making videos of themselves driving expensive cars promoting themselves while making all their money from referral fees and not MAP, and of course last but not least, ranting like a drunken, wasted gutter snipe. Aren't you?

'We've had some unconfirmed rumours today from our fellow scambusters in Germany regarding the leader of the MAPS Academy, Alexander Vitocco. It's been reported that he was taken into Police custody a few weeks ago for his (presumed) involvement in a previous scam called Business Capital Investors Corporation. We have limited information on this at present, but will report back as soon as we have a confirmed arrest.'
The source in Germany was very close to this so we're sure this info is correct, but getting info out of Germany regarding legal processes is really hard. There certainly are many things happening in Germany at the moment regarding the leaders ( or lack of them) but hopefully we'll be able to share all this real soon.

I'm not letting this one go!
Please can you immediately notify the admin of this forum with the names of the 'good people' who have 'got in touch with you'!
