BetRobot - Jet-Coin. Fake cryptocurrency and Simon Stepsys.
I've just noticed that Simon Stepsys has been promoting something called "BetRobot" for the past 10 days or so. He appears to have dumped "Get My Ads" to focus especially on BetRobot.
With his long history of promoting various schemes, I thought it would be worth tracking this one as well. I'm not clear exactly what Betrobot is, but it appears to involve cryptocurrency (bitcoins) and claims a return on investment of 6% daily.
Attachment 19020
With Simon in it and pushing it, you know you're onto a winner!

re: BetRobot - Jet-Coin. Fake cryptocurrency and Simon Stepsys.
Simon has his own Betrobot FB group - for "millionaires", naturally. All his groups seem to imply that you can become a millionaire by sending some money to him.....I do beg your pardon, by joining something he is promoting....

re: BetRobot - Jet-Coin. Fake cryptocurrency and Simon Stepsys.
Companies House in the Uk holds the following information on Betrobot (assuming this is the same company, of course)
Attachment 19022
Incorporated only in July last year, it has 2 directors, Mark Smith and Chris Lomax, both from the north-west of England, close to Simon's stamping ground of Manchester/Chershire, and Tony Booth's as well; which if I remember rightly was also in Blackburn.

1) It's a rebound scheme at a time when the HYIP industry is nearing the bottom of the cycle following the collapse of the two biggest next-big-things Traffic Monsoon and My Advertising Pays. The very worst time to be playing HYIP ponzis and pyramids
2) It's being pimped by Septic Simon Stepsys a serial pimp with a recent history of picking losers.
3) It's offering 6% a day, which is craziness, even for a HYIP ponzi. 6% a DAY = 2190% per year, which is plain nonsense
Only desperadoes with too much money will join this one.

It's a funny old thing, isn't it? Doesn't appear to have a website. It runs only on mobile phones, and you need an app called "Telegram" to use it.
Sounds very low-end to me. If anyone can explain it, I'd appreciate it.

[ BetRobot ] - my honest SHOCKING review!
Sent Thursday, May 4, 2017
Greetings Rock Star,
Like you I too have been getting beat to
death with the Betrobot 6% sales pitch.
Here it is like it or not ...
Is it legit?
Well it is as legit as Las Vegas one of my
favorite places to visit and have fun.
It's a money game and NOT a business.
What does that mean?
It means that some people will win and some
will lose ... just like the casino.
The pro's ...
phone based meaning users must have the
free app: https://t.me/BetRobotbot?start=xxxxxx
(This is the FIRST ever phone app offer that I have seen!)
they only accept Bitcoin. This means there
are no charge backs, refunds or disputes.
built in greed factor paying out every 4 hours.
This is genius as it gets users hooked just like
roulette table.
The con's ...
it might last 6 to 12 months ... nobody knows?
people who don't recover their seed money
will take a loss.
If you like gambling then this is for you.
Place your bets here!
(link will only open on your mobile device)
Do not bet more than you can afford to lose!
I will not be making any further comments on this
subject matter now or in the future.

So Calabro actually said "It's a money game and not a business" did he??
He also said it's a gamble and that some people will lose money. No sh*t, Sherlock! :duh:
I don't see that as a ringing endorsement. So, BetRobot only works on phones, is realy a gambling do-dah and you may well lose money on it?? Where do I sign up???

re: BetRobot - Jet-Coin. Fake cryptocurrency and Simon Stepsys.
:duh:
So, Simon tells us that....
1 Betrobot has a 2 year business plan in place - gosh, I remember when he told us that Banner Broker had taken a 10 year lease on a building in Salford, and look how well that turned out!
2 He doesn't know who owns the "business" - sounds trustworthy, eh?
3 It's not gambling, it's INVESTING. I thought that most of these things banned the "i" word?
4 Don't listen to naughty naysayers, block them!
5 He started with $130 of bitcoin as "it's all I had at the time". WTF?? I thought he was an "Internet millionaire"? Maybe it's just the bitcoins he lacked, not the money?
6 He can't guarantee it won't go boom and collapse, but why should it? :RpS_lol::RpS_lol: Well why should Banners Broker....or MAPs...or any of them, eh Simon? Even I can see these things have a shelf life, and I'm not a playa like you!
7 Keep the faith, positive mindset, buy more, invest more, compound your profits, most super exciting business I've even been in, etc etc ad nauseam

The address for Betrobot is given as 4 Whinfell Close, Chorley (actually Clayton-le-Woods, but within Chorley Council's area). This seems to be a new-ish housing estate close to the M6 motorway. It is within the sprawl of Greater Manchester. Interestingly, the householder of this property, and one of the directors of Betrobot, one Mark Smith, applied for planning consent to convert part of his garage into living accommodation. His application is on the Council's website, and shows the householder's name as.....Mark Smith. Whoever he is. Has anyone come across the name before in any other context?

So Simon said something that "sounds plausible" but does it pass the smell test? Aren't book makers smart enough to figure out which accounts are taking too much of their money irrespective of the name?
Oh drat snorts the bookie, we don't know which "Mark Smith" is taking us to the cleaners. Ironically, the guy below is Neil Smith probably a relation to M:RpS_wink:rk.
Bookmakers are "refusing to take bets" from successful gamblers.
Some clients have told the BBC they've had their betting accounts closed or their bets "restricted" following wins.
Bookmakers say they limit bets from a minority of customers to ensure good odds are available to everyone.
Neil Smith, a teacher from Yorkshire, says he's had around 450 online accounts closed. One bookmaker restricted the amount he could bet, and only allowed a 10 pence bet on a 4/1 horse. He said: "They will just say: 'Sorry our traders have deemed your betting pattern to be unprofitable and we're a business'.

No one created a mystical app that pays you 6% per day, if you believe they did you are literally too stupid to handle your own affairs.
Lots of people tell you something is a scam, its a scam. If you block people trying to help, you deserve to lose. And whatever you do, don't think the universe is going to bail your dumb ass out of this one if you try and will it so.

*Anyone telling you to roll over your money is in on the joke.
Let's say you think I'm kidding about being hopelessly stupid. Maybe you want to give Betrobot a shot, cause you know in the past 5000 years 6% per day always turns out to be the real deal.
Attachment 19135
At 6% per day you will have all your seed money back on day 17 if you don't compound. Plow in $1,000,000, borrow if you must. Then kick back and collect what amounts to the return of your own money for as long as it lasts. Since you have no idea who is running this shooting match, if they disappear on day 12 then I guess you are out of luck. But after day 17 it's all gravy baby, well not gravy as much as cash you will be stealing from later participants. But whatever, finders keepers losers weepers you're now an internet marketer.
By all means screw over your friends and family getting them involved, keep these referral commissions separate. Only an idiot would not recruit and sit back collecting 6% passively when they can drone on day and night about how much money they are making passively. Remember and this is key, 99% of the people you talk to will immediately spot Betrobot as a scam. They are too smart to fall for something as foolish as this. You must unfriend these people, slash their tires, and spit on their shoes. You ONLY want to focus on the dumb 1%, we're talking two standard deviations on the left side of the bell curve idiots.
Of course you will need to tell grammy a few things when her money is gone, here are a few of my favs.
1. Betrobot is experiencing growing pains
2. Betrobot has to upgrade the app
3. Betrobot has stopped payments before, stay positive or I will unfriend you and put you in an old lady's home.
4. We are looking for a new payment processor.
5. Buy buy buy, trust me.
6. Accounts have been hacked, but deputy dog is on the case.
7. Why did you invest more than you could afford to lose?
8. Sure can't take money out, but you can still recruit and earn via the affiliate program.
9. All business has risk, I'm not going to sit around and wait on (1-8) let me tell you about the best program I ever heard of.
Just joshing, 6% per day is totally legitimate and that's all just my jealousy, lack of understanding, negativity, J.O.B. Mentality, you name it rearing it's ugly head. AGAIN!!!
* The longevity of a Ponzi scam is predicated on convincing people first of all that it isn't a scam by giving them portions of their money back AT FIRST. Once the hook is set they must be convinced to plow in greater and greater sums and not take any back out. Once recruiting dries up and/or actual withdrawals exceed cash on hand its over. Then again, sometimes the perpetrators simply close up shop and vanish.

re: BetRobot - Jet-Coin. Fake cryptocurrency and Simon Stepsys.
Good post there, Ribshaw. Pretty well says it all.
I especially like this bit:-
"But after day 17 it's all gravy baby, well not gravy as much as cash you will be stealing from later participants. But whatever, finders keepers losers weepers you're now an internet marketer."
Yup. Seems to sum up a lot of "internet Marketers" out there.

This sounds nothing like BetR:RpS_wink:b:RpS_wink:t.
Losing money is a sure bet with sports arbitrage schemes.
Attachment 19148
https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/news/lo...itrage-schemes
3 March 2009
SCAMwatch is warning consumers to stay away from sports arbitrage 'opportunities'.
Sport arbitrage involves placing bets on both outcomes of a sporting event, with the intention of making a profit regardless of the outcome.
Sports arbitrage schemes lure consumers by typically promising a risk free profit. They promise impressive returns or 'guaranteed returns' for little to no risk. They may claim that the money made on the scheme will 'compound', increasing over time to provide larger returns. In return, consumers are usually required to pay high entry fees and ongoing fees to participate in the scheme.
But it is highly unlikely that promised high returns from these schemes will eventuate.
The ACCC has received numerous complaints about sports arbitrage schemes. Consumers who participate in these schemes usually complain that the promised returns are false.
These schemes often take the form of a 'syndicate' into which you are asked to pay money, the betting then being conducted by the company on behalf of the group. Alternatively, the company might offer to sell you computer software that promises to identify arbitrage opportunities. In both cases, arbitrage schemes typically involve a large, up-front payment and may involve ongoing fees.
These schemes are typically promoted by Youtube Videos, Facebook "Millionaire Groups", and 'cold calling'—unexpected or unsolicited phone calls that offer a chance to participate in an arbitrage scheme.
Operators will persuade you to join by claiming that the arbitrage scheme employs similar techniques used by large financial institutions or the secret techniques of professional traders. To appear legitimate, arbitrage schemes often distribute glossy brochures and marketing material, with graphs or diagrams depicting an unrealistic rate of return.
Some sports arbitrage schemes are entirely fraudulent. The company will simply disappear after collecting your fees. Some schemes do provide a betting system; however, the returns may be far lower than promised. In some instances it can take participants years simply to recoup the cost of their initial joining fee.
Warning signs
You receive an unsolicited offer to participate in an 'investment' opportunity that sounds too good to be true.
The opportunity promises guaranteed or impressive returns for little to no risk or work.
In your future
You are unable to access money paid into the scheme until certain conditions are met. For example, you open an account with the scheme at $5000 but cannot withdraw any money until it reaches $10 000.
You receive numerous reasons to explain why the scheme is not working as promised.
You have difficulty in contacting the company.
Protect yourself
Delete all spam emails.
Get-rich schemes don’t work! The only person that benefits from get-rich schemes is the scammer.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Why would someone sell it to you?

Common examples of sports investment scams
These scams are simply a form of gambling camouflaged as legitimate investments. Most of the schemes or programs do not work as promised and buyers cannot get their money back. In many cases the supplier simply disappears.
Computer prediction software
The scammer will try to sell you a software program that promises to accurately predict sporting results, usually of team sports or horse racing. They will promise high returns or profits as a result of the program's use.
Team sports betting programs claim to identify opportunities based on historical trends and the different odds offered by various bookmakers. Horse racing software will often claim that predictions are based on weather conditions, the state of the horse, the draw, or the condition of the jockey. They may also claim to track the money that has been placed on a race by professional betters.
Often the information used in these programs can be obtained from the betting pages of your local newspaper at very little cost.
Betting syndicates
The scammer will try and convince you to become a member of a betting syndicate. You will need to pay a compulsory fee (often in excess of $15 000) to join and open a sports betting account. You will be required to make ongoing deposits to maintain the balance of the account.
The scammer tells you that they will use funds in the account to place bets on behalf of the syndicate. You, and other 'syndicate members' are promised a percentage of the profits.
Sports investment
The scammer targets small business operators, professionals, retirees or others with funds to ‘invest’. These schemes are usually promoted as business opportunities or investments at trade fairs, shows or via the internet. People may also be contacted via an unsolicited phone call, email or letter.
The scammer will use technical or financial terms such as 'sports arbitrage',' sports betting', 'sports wagering', 'sports tipping' or 'sports trading' to make these scams look like legitimate investments. Promotional material often takes the form of glossy and sophisticated brochures or websites that contain graphs or diagrams promising large returns for little or no effort.
The scammer may also claim that their company is registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
Warning signs
You approached to invest in a money-making opportunity that promises huge returns and risk-free profits.
The sales pitch is accompanied by glossy promotional material showing extraordinary returns.
The seller uses financial or technical terms to try and sell their product or scheme.
You are told places are strictly limited and you need to buy now in order to secure the software package, or your spot in the scheme.
You are frequently called by salespeople trying to pressure you into buying the product or joining the scheme.
Protect yourself
If you receive a call from someone trying to sell you a sports investment opportunity or prediction software - just hang up.
Be wary of high pressure and slick sales tactics, such as reports on past performance and graphs showing high returns.
Do not let anyone pressure you into making decisions about money or investments - get independent legal or financial advice.
Conduct an independent check on the company selling the scheme or service - often their postal address will turn out to be a car park and no real office exists.
Look out for any ongoing costs associated with the scheme or system.
Make sure you know how to cancel any subscription service that you sign up to.
