Cool.

Please accept my apology Rik if I was a a bit harsh, but you must understand we get plenty of visits from
Banners Broker Shills, Pimps & supposed PR guys like Terry Stern.

Would be great if you could give us a little more on yesterdays proceedings, you might be getting more than you bargained for.

But basically it seems as though at the interview you could sense that things didn't seem quite right.

Like littleroundman says it's awfully cruel to prey on innocent jobseekers.

Perhaps someone in the UK might like to contact Commander Stephen Head of the Economic Crime Directorate of the City of London Police, just in case the regulators have missed getting their invitation to Manchester-Bolton...

Just to stress this point - because "Its impossible not to make money"

I thought Banners Broker frowned upon this?

Will they lock his account?

It should have been confiscated long ago if they weren't hypocrites.

Reading that made my head hurt. That aside, could someone enlighten me as to what Stokes and his "brother from another father" actually do? As far as I can tell all they actually do to "earn" money is tell people that if they tell other people how to earn money by telling other people how to earn money then they will earn money.

Most likely to find out if the job he went after is working for crooks and thieves or something legit.....

I thought I was quick on the draw but some of you guys are....Well....I'd better not say...

I'm sure you'll understand why if he don't come back

No one could possibly mistake Mr Stern for the stereotypical fast talking conman people tend to associate with fraud.

Reading around the usual suspect forums and blogs, it is apparent a large number of Banners Broker member/victims see him as a genuine "PR person" believer and don't suspect for a minute those behind Banners Broker have made him the designated fall guy for what's about to happen.

One can only hope that Terry Stern ends up with the same fate as Matt Gagnon....

Legisi HYIP Pitchman Matthew John Gagnon Pleads Guilty, Admits He Didn’t Disclose ‘Touting’ Compensation Of More Than $1 Million And Caused More Than $7 Million In Losses

I've looked through yesterdays posts and was quite disappointed that Mr Stern didn't provide the BB Audit details like i asked him to. This would have been the simplest win for them without giving away anything sensitive. It's almost as if BB isn't the proper business we all know and love.

Couldn't find the sarcasm smiley. Sorry for any confusion.

That poor lad who thought he had a job was more depressing than the usual crap they do. This is someone who has gone out of their way to look for a job and presumably is in need of one and BB will crap all over him. People will probably work a few weeks, not get paid and in the meantime have lost benefits. Absolute scumballs.

And be left in the firing line when Banners Broker goes belly up, if history is anything to go by.

Wow.
I'm disappointed in the attack on that lad yesterday.

He could be lying. He could be telling the truth - we're not nasty people - attacking someone like that only helps BB protagonists paint us as the bad people.

I'm not sure if you are aware, but a few days ago some UK affiliates went to Canada to visit the offices. I found some photos from some of the ones who went on facebook. Enjoy!

Some of the comments on the photos:

"Chris Smith founder and owner of Banners Broker with the team from the UK. He took time out of his busy schedule to come and talk to us at the hotel. If you want to get in on the action contact me and I will show you how you can earn some money to take you anywhere you want."

"Installation off more office cubicles to accommodate the ever growing BB support staff"

"Arriving at Stellar Point which is undergoing major refurbishment to cater for the extra BB support staff"

"It looks empty because most of the staff didn't make it in because of the snow. We were determined to get there though"

"Back home now after an absolutely fantastic and awesome trip to Canada to visit Banners Broker head office and the main man himself Chris Smith. Here are some photos taken at Niagara Falls with some of the guys and gals. We nearly didn't get to Niagara Falls as the car we had, decided to make things interesting by testing Sharons driving skills and giving us a puncture in the fast lane of the freeway. Sharon kept her cool and brought us to a safe stop on the hard shoulder."

Some of the people who went were: Simon Stepsys, Imtiyaz Aslam, Carol Mathews, Martin Clay, Beverely Hopper, Sharon James, Mike Briggs.
You can view the photos on their facebook pages.

Chris Smith looks very awkward in every photo and video I've seen of him... almost like he really doesn't wanna be there. I don't see the confidence of a maths genius millionaire.

It snowed...... in Canada?....... Shocking!!!!!

That must be the lamest excuse for lack of staff that I have heard!

Simon Stepsys looks very familiar. I knew I had seen him somewhere before..

Perhaps we should start some sort of competition to see who can nominate the people in those pix who really DO believe Banners Broker is a real business.

We all know Simon Stepsys knows it's a HYIP ponzi fraud, he's a HYIP ponzi pimp from way back, so he is out of the voting.

I wonder how many of the others are true believers

Reminds me of the fake casino from "The Sting"

The couple of cubicles shown look far too neat and tidy. The whole place just looks empty.

Exactly, although it reminded me of the fake offices from The Game. I was puzzled as to why they've left all the dexion shelving there, it's almost as if that was all just put in place to show the ICs round and as soon as they were gone it was put back to warehousing.
