    re: Is My Advertising Pays / The Advert Platform A Scam or Ponzi?



    So, we have this multi million dollar ponzi scheme being largely operated from within the UK which claims to be able to make people into millionaires merely by clicking on ten advertisements a day, yet, members are being asked to believe the authorities won't take any notice, as long as people include an earnings disclaimer.

    R--I--I--G--H--T

    More like when it does go belly up (and the signs are already there it will, sooner rather than later) Septic Simon Stepsys and the Booths will have a ready made excuse,

    i.e. too many people didn't include an earnings disclaimer in their "proof of (ponzi) earnings"
    The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

    Just been reading that mark guy, who appears a leader, telling people not to post screen shots of 'earnings'. This is exactly what happened at achieve and then in a blink of an eye, it had gone. MAPS must be getting near the end if they are sending these warnings out.

    SO TRUE RIBSHAW!

    What is the difference between posting screenshots of alleged earnings and posting videos of yourself in a fancy car, while spouting "Hi guys, everyone will make money"?

    Good point you made about them having to start blogging and tweeting like in the final days of BB. I'm waiting for the banning of the phrase "passive income", and the insistence that Mappers have to "work" for their "earnings".

    Clicking on 10 ads a day just won't be enough, will it, especially when they can buy "vacation time" and not have to bother doing the clicking.....

    One thing I found suspicious was Simon had not updated his earnings screenshot since March. When the Chief Bragger N Thief stops using the biggest tool in his foolbox that is a not so subtle message IMO.


    Simon showed 2995 referrals in September 14, and 4233 referrals in March 15 which means only 1239 new numpties over six months. Despite all of the hullabaloo and world tour fresh interest appears to be drying up.

    He had posted this picture a few weeks back in his Kiss Simon's Rump FB page and yesterday reposted it on his personal page. Running out of goofy money stuff?

    Did Simon really title his video "Money Magnet?"

    Perhaps he's channeling AdSurfDaily Ponzi schemer Andy Bowdoin. The Feds liked Bowdoin's description of himself as a "money-magnet" so much that they used it repeatedly in the grand-jury indictment returned against him in 2010.

    Bowdoin, on May 31, 2008, from a stage in Las Vegas at an ASD "rally": “And I always say, ‘Thank you, God, for developing me into a money magnet.’ And I see myself as a money magnet in attracting money and, I say, attracting large sums of money.”

    Folks unfamiliar with the ASD case perhaps would be interested to learn that the "Lincoln MKS" Bowdoin bought with $48,244 in Ponzi funds a month before the August 2008 raid was one of the things that brought ASD down. (He bought it while ASD was under surveillance. There were other ASD Ponzi cars, too, plus jet skis, a Cabana boat, marine equipment and real estate.)

    Of course, Bowdoin's Lincoln was positively humble compared to Simon's "Brand New 15 Plate BENTLEY Continental GT V8 S."

    There is a significant history of Bentley seizures in Ponzi cases.

    Oh.....hello....they've started fiddling with the server, thus making the site intermittent.

    What a surprise! Who was it said that server problems and upgrades will be next?? LRM, Eagle, Ribshaw, Whip, I think that one or all of you have said it.

    It's where data is stored - e.g. about members, payments owed, etc.

    That still makes me giggle. I found this instructional video, don't cheat the people involving you in a Ponzi Scheme.




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

    Random Topic Shift...


    About once a day someone in MAPS shows up at https://www.facebook.com/pages/My-Ad...492200?fref=ts saying something to the effect of "I have been paid for 17 months so this can't be a scam."

    Ryan Hauser was nice enough to do some math in his video assuming some sucker put $60,000 into the MAPS Ponzi. Currently their packs mature every 110 days meaning they would net $27,804 for the year.

    Ponzi Math.JPG

    Effectively MAPS can pay Mapholes their own money for two full years and still have $4392 left, well almost as they paid your sponsor double dipperz $6000 + in commissions. More importantly we are dangerously close to the 2 year mark where that $60,000 is all gone gone gone. Wonder if that is why the "rule brigade" is popping up left and right with threats of closing accounts while the system gets upgraded? Any rumblins of a new payment processor?

    It reminds me more and more of our old favourite scheme - BANNERS BROKER.

    New rules coming in, which the eager Mappers rush to obey....and they believe it is for the "longevity" of the company....as Ribshaw says above, when will they start going on about a new payment processor? Or even a pre-paid credit card, that's a good one! Maybe World e-wallet could help them out?

    Maps 458 May 15.jpg

    Just got to wait, in my opinion, for Simon Stepsys to jump ship, then we will know the end is nigh.

    re: Is My Advertising Pays / The Advert Platform A Scam or Ponzi?

    As I analyzed the convoluted odds behind the MAPs wheel a while back, I found myself pondering as to whether the reason behind putting the silly thing on the site in the first place might have been an amateurish attempt at giving the idle minds of the victims something to do besides clicking ten worthless ads per day.

    I'm embarrassed that it took me this long to realize that before the wheel went up, anyone screen-capping their "Quick Stats" for promotional purposes also captured and advertised their "Auto-Repurchase Status". Many posters here pointed out that the most egregious promoters were uniformly "inactive".

    Now that we have the wonderful splendor of the MAPs Wheel, "Auto-Repurchase Status" is gone from "Quick Stats", replaced by the amazing "Lifetime Wheel Earnings" report.

    Pre-wheel Quick Stats display:

    Post-wheel Quick Stats display::

    9941d1427581540t-my-advertising-pays-scam-ponzi-maps-336-mar-15.jpg

    As it goes in many end-of-life Ponzi stages, even that bright idea is down the tubes now:



    This SCAM has definitely hit the iceberg.

    Alright folks - which Mapper Muppet is going to be the first to say it's a good idea to "diversify" and "not have all your eggs in one basket"? Once they do, it's a sure sign of the end.

    Maybe not the immediate end, but the end coming along soon.

    My best guess is the Booths or the Essex Maiden (and ex-UFUN-er by the way, although she has whipped all reference to that off her FB page pretty smartly, but yes, she was out pushing it with Joby Boughey) Claire H-J.

    (By the way, love your post Ribshaw, great to see such cutting comments on her "Jobs in Brentwood" video! I think it is despicable that she even gave it that title. How many people who are genuinely looking for a job - a real one, not some sort of scheme - will think it is something offering real work? And then to charge £5 for the priviledge of entry as well. I just hope that not many fall for it. )

    Thanks for asking that question "Della". I was going to do the same. Glad to get the answer and I certainly agree that it would not need fine tuning to get them on the real map.

    It's hard to tell whether DDoS attacks are genuine or yet another excuse being trotted out by admins of dying ponzis.

    It's easy to forget there's a lot of heavy duty criminal activity and vast sums of money associated with the HYIP ponzi "industry" as well as a not insignificant number of relatively low level players who both have the means to institute DDoS attacks against anyone who gets in their way (read forums such as this) or HYIP ponzi admins they feel have "ripped them off"

    With the sums of money being talked about involved in some of the "next-big-thing" HYIP ponzi frauds such as MAP and UFun, one could imagine those who get "stung" retaliating via DDoS attacks without thinking twice
