Thoughts?

Good grief, Jen, is this real? My first thought is it is a vulgar as hell......would anyone take advice from this person??

"Pimp" is the right word methinks.

"Average man with lazer-like focus"

Oh. my. god.

Oh dear, I have just checked Jets's FB page and it IS real.

I thought it was a joke.

According to this guy, you just have to do absolutely NOTHING and you make money!

This Forbes cover seems a bit of an obsession with Mappers. Slimy Simon also does a bit of photoshoppery to put himself on a Forbes cover (although he does a slightly better job).

It fascinates and appalls me at the same time. It's so childish for one thing. A 12 year old girl might put her photo up next to that of a handsome member of the latest boy band, and she might dream about marrying him.....but most people grow out of this stage. If you are doing this at 10, or 12 or even 16, there's no real harm done; but at 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 or above, it's a bit worrying IMO.

And for another thing, it seems delusional - do they REALLY think that they would EVER get on any magazine cover, let alone one with the tagline "World's Richest People"? From MAPs? Really? Whatever they are smoking, they ought to stop it!

I am not that familiar with Forbes magazine, although I have heard of it. However, my impression is that the people who get into it have REAL businesses that provide REAL products or services, and who have built up fortunes through hard work and dedication for years, if not decades.

They are not generally people who have been in MLM programmes, or who are fly-by-night operators with a long history of scamming people or running online/home based businesses that have failed, collapsed or ended up with people in jail!

Sometimes, I do wonder if these people are quite right in the head. I spend many hours (well, Ok, minutes) just shaking my head in wonderment. WHY are some people so deluded, when to me, it's so obvious???

Look at it this way. These people are being sold a dream, an illusion. You referred to children there, so just remember when you were a kid how enthusiastic you could become over anything and how gullible you were. I could create a whole scenario in my head and act around it, with only a few props to help me, but with imagination everything is possible. Well to people in MLM / opportunity type programs it's pretty much the same thing. Since they believe in it so much and are surrounded by people with the same mindset (and the so called "successful" leaders), you can't shake sense into them. Even if they make no money, or very few, they will find a logical reason for this.

To people like us it's obvious that it's not worth our time and money, but many unlucky others put 100% trust in a friend that was lured into MAP for example, and are themselves suckered into it. And if they don't realize it, they will then introduce other people who trust them, ignoring the fact they're part of an endless chain.

In new age / self improvement/ MLM circles it's called "fake it till you make it" and is a perfect example of what happens when untrained and uneducated people get hold of perfectly sound motivational techniques, bastardize them and turn them into some sort of alternative reality where HYIP ponzi fraud is a legitimate way of making money.

The sort of reality where Photoshopping your image onto the front cover of Forbes magazine and hanging pictures of exotic holiday locations or Lamborghinis and Ferraris on your refrigerator and bathroom mirror pass as "motivating" yourself and makes you think clicking on ads and spinning wheels with laser focus is going to make your fortune.

I don't see anyone reporting that they are living off welfare/benefits while trying to make their money in MAPs, so I can only assume that they are all in some sort of work.

They all seem to be obsessed with the idea that they can make enough money from MAPS (hahaha!) and then give up the day job and live for the rest of their lives on clicking on 10 bad ads a day. Are the deluded, mad, stupid or what? Then there is old Dickie Walletblaster posting pictures of expensive houses from Primelocation.com as "property inspiration", when the nearest they will ever get to these types of houses is cleaning the windows, if they are lucky.

And they sneer at working in a proper job as being "Just Over Broke" (= J.O.B. - geddit?). They've no need to. No matter how humble the job, it is still better than being a twonk clicketty clicking on 10 ads a day and p*ssing yourself over winning 1 cent on a wheel of fortune.

That's always been the hypocritical point I've gone to when scammers point out the job thing. None of them ever have an answer for it. By all their own admission, none of them have been able to withdraw money and must 'reinvest' it. They have to be working jobs too in order to survive with their money on a screen.

Not really. There are lots of sites out there that are templates.

Are you being all logical again, Whip ??

You should know by now logical thinking and HYIP ponzis don't belong together

Yeah, I know. I'm hoping someone thinking about getting sucked in benefits.

This guy [Jeremy Page] seems to be recruiting quite a few suckers from his blog....

The person that asked IBE MAPPIN from JAIL about paying up front for a job asked the right question. (although getting mailed a check is equally dubious) Gumtree warns users about scams like MAPs:

"Other work from home offers can be pyramid schemes which require you to recruit other members to get paid. For example, an ad might say that you can make £100 an hour by stuffing envelopes. But to make that money, you need to sell the system to others. For these reasons, we typically don't accept ads that offer work from home positions on Gumtree."

Gumtree support - Gumtree Help

================================================== ========================

Don't see any of these ninnies saying they live on the dole, I would bet money many do. If not that, some other source of income beyond whatever scam du jour they are "mentoring" or "self employed and lovin it" today.

If I were not a troll here is how I would approach MAPs. There are people who are homebound with some income but not enough that $2 per hour is insulting. Since they are at home and need money clicking ads for 8 hours a day is reasonable. A spare $20 would help these folks out. Here is the catch, many of these people are the exact demographic that will plow every penny and more back into the very schemes my advertisers are peddling.

Instead of wasting my time with selfies https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater
I would target my demographic and hire them direct. They wouldn't need to put any money in up front, that is what my advertisers are paying for. Never would it cross my mind to bring in 108,000 flunkies and let them double their money by clicking 10 ads per day. Why would I when there are plenty of low income people I can exploit for next to nothing?

Of course all this would assume I was not a lowly troll who can't see the big picture.

I would have to go with scheming crook. If you look at one of his money shot pages TARA TALKS: My Advertising Pays - SCAM he claims to have been in the " internets BIZ" for 10 years. He also if memory serves showed up all mouthy mouthy and then scurried away like a little roach when the tough questions were asked.

Taking the other side, if he is not a crook then he is an F^in Dumbass and his advice should be dismissed as useless.

So true, Caner.

"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."

and

"We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object, and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first."

One of our friends here pointed out that luxury watches can be hired. And of course, they can also be faked.

Gold watch, but doesn't polish his shoes and only has one suit?? Yeah, right.

Okay now look-it keep this on the down low cause not many people know.

The easiest way to camfect someone's computer is to get them to click a bunch of random links or 10 and get them to download spinny wheel type thingys. The same people that will screw senior citizens with fake lotteries or disabled people with scamo work from home opps love to put a little malware kicker on their sites. Soon there will be all sorts of warnings about the danger of random clickn, but now ssssshhhhhhhheeeeeeeettt.

Say someone arrogant loves to create their own magazine covers...

Simon Stepsys Natgeo Scammer.JPG

Have probably said more than I should. You would not believe this but some people still click on anything, like HYIP ads.

Shutting up now...

I've seen a few people suggesting that Simon changed his name from Baxter to Stepsys.

That's not what my research indicates....

Can we please get some clarification over here?!?

"I have nothing at all to do with the MTT or monopolizer & never have, & I have no idea who Simon Baxter is either!"

http://www.realscam.com/f16/simon-st...342/#post81288

One thing is for certains, Baxter and Stepsys were promoting the same type of scams. Maybe he will register and clear it up for us?
