Now, Whip, don't be negative........there is room for people to stand at the back....so if you squashed them in a bit.......

There you go.

The people towards the back don't exactly look engaged, do they? I mean, some have their backs turned, and others look downright bored!

I find it quite ironic that the SS Maps success FB page is now getting more and more spam. Today, members are invited to join "Five Dollar Funnel", "Down Home Gift Exchange", get a free iphone, and, er, view some porn. (They seem to get porn on a daily basis.)

The admins need to get up a bit earlier and get this stuff deleted. Or are they all out at day jobs, and have not sacked the boss yet????

One of the MAPs members has proudly posted this:-

Attachment 9237

I am sure that I have read somewhere that MAPs is "free to join" - but it isn't, is it? There are clearly different levels of membership (like BB with its different coloured adpub combos) and they cost varying amounts. This person was very proud that he could pay his membership using his adfund, so it did not cost him anything.

Except he wasn't taking into account what he may have spent to build up his adfund in the first place. And of course new members who haven't built anything up will have to pay for their membership with real money, not the pretendy numbers in the "e-wallet".

So if you join and buy just 1 credit pack, that costs you almost $50, plus an admin fee. Then there is membership on top. So you may have laid out close to $150 before you start to build up that credit pack to mature at $60 (less admin fee and payment processor fee). My maths may be a bit rough here, but you get the picture. Not much of a bargain, is it???

Here's one who has been involved with "schemes" for over 20 years (by his own admission). His latest is MAPs, and also his own "Costcentresolutions". Step forward Dave Hayes!

THE Dave Hayes no less, who advertises himself as THE Online Business Marketing Centre:-

...............where he is also pushing MAPs (latest entry 31/1/15)

[QUOTE=jennyp123;81482]Never ceases to amaze me how the same faces come up over and over again.

The video above closes with a quick glimpse of this guy...

Attachment 9231

So you do a bit of digging...

and what do you know?

Here he is again at the Banners Brokers Convention in Ireland 3 years ago...

Attachment 9232

And here he is again in a group shot on SS's Success FB page! (Please note that I have blanked out the face of a youngster in this shot who I believe to be Stepsys's son)

Now, your starter for 10, how many faces can you name???

Speaking of SS's fam...

Here's one of my personal favourites, taken on the same day as the group shot...

As you can see, Simon's missus seems to be just a tad pissed off, having walked in on him 'cavorting' with a pair of 'Mappets'! - (n.b. - feel free to substitute any vowels you see fit.)

Here's a close-up of her growler! Lol!

Not a Happy Shopper now, is she?

Maybe he melted it down to make the MAPs pin?

PS: I apologise in advance to Stevethomas for this posting....!!!

You're ok, Dell hun I've seen this one so many times before anyways

Besides, I currently have man flu so am feelin' too 'bleughhh' right now to care much

I am going to name my virus 'Simon' as I feel that if it could take literal form, that's what it would look like

He has either failed for 20 years at getting rich quick, or succeeded at scamming others for 20 years who failed to GRQ. None of these people so far as I have seen have said this is the business I run, here is the passive income it throws off, and here is what my employees earn. Always some trite Zig Ziglar quote...

Because if they look in rearview they would have to acknowledge all the scammy road kill they have piled up.

Ah the "internet lifestyle", with $5000 in alleged MAPS "earnings" and 7 GRN views I am wondering how that raises two kids and pays for a trip to Tahoe?

Lol!

Believe it or not, but when it first started the expression used regarding Kevin Thompson was...

"Kevin Thompson - Top US MLM Attorney on board and has credit packs"!!!!

Times (and the % payout) have changed a lot since this interview....

Well, I've only watched the first few minutes, but I loved the line (from Mr Deese): "MAPS was born out of scams, to be honest with you".

No sh*t, Sherlock!

He's also admitted to having been in many other schemes, and to having induced people to join schemes, most of which failed. Great. So, why would you want to follow him into something else?? And why oh why do these people ALWAYS claim to have "top mathematicians" and "top programmers" and a "top legal team" on board with them (see Harrison's posting above!)? People who are rarely named, naturally.

Question: How do you FIND a "top mathematician" anyway? They don't exactly hang around asking if you want some algebra doing. I doubt that the Senior Wrangler at Cambridge is likely to get on board with one of these ventures, and he/she would be in my view a "top mathematician"...

Man walks into a night club, walks up to a female and says hey baby.......how about we hook up and I show you that 1+1 can make '3'.

That is quite a statement to make without 100% proof to back it up. MANY companies rely on people such as myself and many others to 'spread the word' about their company and products or services they offer then they pay those people for helping them!

UGH! I have an issue with people who are either uneducated or plain ignorant! It is true SOME companies are scams BUT to say "Plain and simple if someone is trying to recruit you and you in turn have to recruit others, it is a scam." is not only unfair to the companies that legitimately pay people to do this but it is also a LIE! I personally have made money from several companies by referring others or 'recruiting' as you call it! I also know many many many other people who make a wonderful living doing the same thing!

It seems to me that people come here looking for answers and the only answer they get from you blows their dreams up. I don't know personally about MAPS although I do know people making money with MAPS but are you a member? Have you ever been a member of the companies your shooting down?

Also what works for some doesn't work for others.

Have a good night!

PS for those looking for answers about something they are doing or interested in doing, educate yourself, talk to people to see what experience they have had because as I said MANY people make a living referring or recruiting others-don't go into anything without 100% understanding of what you get, what is expected in order to make money and how much you will make.

UGH! I have an issue with people who are either uneducated or plain ignorant!

so how many mirrors have you broken?

Oh, so you were cruising around the 'net and you just accidentally landed here on REALSCAM.com and decided to defend a multi million dollar ponzi / pyramid scam on principle, did you ???

C'man, Margo, tell the truth.

You're a serial get-rich-quick pimp and you're here promoting your latest scheme Online Wealth Network and decided to indulge in a a little side action defending the indefensible.

You believe it's OK for people to rip others off by running ponzi and pyramid frauds - OK, we get that.

At least have the decency to admit it, stop hiding behind weasel words and pretending this is something noble you're doing.

I have an issue with people who write things like this:-

"It seems to me that people come here looking for answers and the only answer they get from you blows their dreams up."

So it is Ok to let people throw money away on something, is it, because they have a fluffy little thing called "a dream"?

I don't get this whole "dream" thing anyway. I understand that people have hopes and aspirations. I understand too that they may have "dreams", but most people grow up and face reality eventually. If they don't, they may go on shows like "The X Factor" to pursue stardom because it is their "dream"......but there is often one flaw in this; they can't blo*dy sing!

HeHe,

among the "ripping people off in HYIP ponzi and pyramid schemes is OK " crowd, calling someone a "Dream Stealer" is considered the ultimate insult.

It's usually accompanied with a flurry of "you don't understand how XXXXXXXX is the new paradigm in moneymaking" and "you're just jealous" or "you are destined to a life of having or being a J.O.B." type insults.

Water off a ducks' back.

On one of stepsys videos he was stuttering and stammering his way through his lies as he said that Kevin Thompson had endorsed MAP and was onboard etc etc, for the life of me I cant find this video now or even where I saw it...maybe someone knows of it and could send to Kevin Thompson...am sure he would love to see it and sue stepsys sorry arse

Hiya, luda7dw and welcome to REALSCAM.com

I believe this is the Septic Simon Stepsys video to which you're referring:
