Re: Banners Broker HYIP ponzi scam
New post on BB Facts and Updates Facebook page, from a member in the USA
Hi, does anyone know what is going on with BB? No more loading of BB prepaid cards, no customer support on the phone, live chat or support tickets. I have a BB card and the system says I don't and there is no way to withdrawal. So, have they gone under? Any info would be helpful. Or maybe a phone number that works.
Thanks!

Re: Banners Broker HYIP ponzi scam
And from the same site, more news...........
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN INDIA?
As many of you may be aware, the Banners Broker office in India has been closed. This was due to a number of affiliates and a member of staff misrepresenting the company. There has been a spread of misleading information as well as cases of distorted information. This has led to the termination of the affiliates account. However these events have also led to the closure of the Indian office. This does NOT mean the closure of Banners Broker India, simply the office itself. The doors are re-opening soon to a brand new office in Bangalore, with an in-house meeting room and large affiliate training rooms. New staff and roving Ambassadors have been hired to assist with the growth of Banners Broker India. Banners Broker are strong, and despite this minor set- back, are looking forward to an exciting new year. Thanks for all your continuing support!

Hmmmmm! Let me guess, next move to slow or stop payments, Some/many/all ?
Payments stopped/slowed because of "issues" with transitioning accounts to ACS
They are already bandying Banners Broker's favourite phrase, "Please be patient"
I will watch with interest.

The slowing of payments has been happening since before Christmas.
It will take newbies a couple of more attempts at playing HYIP ponzis before the tell tale signs start becoming blatantly obvious.
Personally, I moved Banners Broker out of "save everyone I can" into "harm minimization" mode a month ago.
I gave up trying to stand in front of runaway trains with my hands up long ago.
Once a HYIP ponzis' payments start to slow, you can rest assured the chances of anyone getting their remaining money out are next to none and the chances of a turnaround are even less.
The first sniff of a slowdown and the regular HYIP ponzi players are gone, along with their money, and the consequent lack of funds and new deposits means the end is near, if not immediately.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

One has to wonder how coincidental all of this is ; Onofre and Driscoll attend meeting together, Driscoll returns home, has a think about it and is fired resigns as the UK official IC so quickly that BB don't have time to cobble together a decent reason as to what has transpired.
Onofre returns home, has a think about it and is subsequently arrested. Did Driscoll get wind of what was coming in India and quickly get rid of his official title in the hope it would prevent him coming under similar investigation? Does it not seem a bit suspicious that his contract was terminated so suddenly yet he remains not only a BB investor, but appears to still be doing essentially the same job, but without the title?

Translates as
We're flying our most gullible IC over, at his expense, so that we can tell him face-to-face that everything is running smoothly, despite obvious signs to the contrary.
Hopefully when he returns home with some blurry snapsnots of a fat black man standing in a building site (assuming Chris isn't busy at his day job) that should be enough to prove to the world that Banners Broker is a "genuine, legitimate company".
It had better be, because if it doesn't we're fresh out of ideas

Re: Banners Broker HYIP ponzi scam
Hi ,
I'm new and been a BB affiliate since Mar/April last year.
They say ignorance is bliss... and I've been too ignorant until the India arrest last week. :(
Every 3rd day or so I would just login and check my panels, and just qualify new panels as old ones capped.
Anyway the last 4 days or so.. have really opened my eyes and I wish I had been directed to this site much earlier.
Just a quick update... They have just started the auto debit of monthly admin fees, so I suspect this is an act of desperation to keep the money in the system so they can survive longer...not too sure how much longer...
I'm glad i only put $hundred of dollars in .. not $thousands.. and my friends have said.. just treat it like a bad gamble and move on.
Reading through all the posts the advice is to try and get any money you can out and then try to close the account, and even if I do, I'm very concerned they have alot of my personal and private details.
I now have the unpleasant (but necessary) task of changing my personal banking details.
To anyone else reading this post.. Avoid BB

Re: Banners Broker HYIP ponzi scam
Hiya, RockLion and welcome to REALSCAM.com
Unfortunately your story is all too common.
People DO fall for HYIP ponzi frauds, and, in large numbers.
The second part of your story is becoming more and more the norm as HYIP ponzi fraudsters realize they have a ready made new source of income in the information they have collected from "members"
Many victims of the Zeek Rewards HYIP ponzi reported having their accounts accessed and multiple thefts of amounts in the $30 to $50 range.
Modern I.D. and account thieves are smart enough to know many people won't even notice such small transactions, especially if they only receive printed account statements every 3 or 4 months, so they work on volume, rather than emptying accounts completely.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

Here's another UK long-term affiliate with unfortunate initials, been in since 12/11/2011 according to her IBO page.
Banners Broker Review
Here's a photo of her checking the newspaper for info about Ana's wellbeing in India. Note she has her fingers crossed:

She teaches people the fine art of scamming money as she is part of "the highly regarded Six Figure Mentors."

Re: Banners Broker HYIP ponzi scam
Ask yourself why an International broker for Internet advertising that claims to be a $100 Million dollar business needs a 15,000 sq ft building, and in a warehouse to boot? How many advertisers, Internet or otherwise, broker or not, have that much office space? How many of them are located in a warehouse district, let alone a warehouse building? All the ones I know are in high-rise office space at the heart of the city where they are located, not out in the boonies somewhere. And yet all the BB faithful thinks this is just the cats meow and wonderful.

Just in case you don't know Stellar Point IS Banners Broker. why would they need to transfer anyting when all they did was change the Company name?
Look at the Canadian companier regerter here:
https://www.ic.gc.ca/app/scr/cc/Corp...l?locale=en_CA
Search under number 7250037
Look down the certificate under "Corporate Name History" and you will note they were Banners Broker Limited until 30 July 2012 when they changed the name to Stellar Point Inc.

NB "Class action " is an American concept and is a recent ( last decade or so) development in Canada. It does not exist in UK or Irish juristictions.

For your information that also is covered in this thread.
Another company not connected curently occupy the building but it seems Stellar Point have either bought the building or leased the bottom floor.
You can see the same building here:
Durham Energy Specialist Ltd. - Consulting Engineers
and check the address under "contact us"
Admins please note: we need to start stickying and indexing the thread

You right and I think case India has big impact on ponzi failure that will occure shortly.And is not important is just a person in court or BB.Superficiality is very good friend of ponzis and scams - without superficiality they would die before opening the door.In the same time superficiality can be very bad enemy - large number of people do not care or it does not reach their mind who was investigated and why - they just hear INVESTIGATION and are immediately scared...they are not ready to go deeper into the problem as they were not ready to think deeper while were joing the scam.You can take a simple test to see how it works.
Take 5 people and say one of them a small story - anything you like - then he should say the same story to the second person - and so on till the 4th person say the same story to 5th person - then ask the 5th person to tell you your story he heard from 4th person - you will be schocked to hear things you never said and not to hear things you said......that's why I think India case will stop future investors to invest or will limit the number of people that have intention to join what will bring the whole thing to collapse
