    For Caroline Nettle, credibility has left the building.
    I've never heard of her before?

    Does she have the nickname "Stinging Nettle", per chance?

    She does now.

    Shame on you.

    Ms Nettle isn't just an ordinary pimp.

    No, no.

    She's far more important than that.

    That Caroline has tried to monetize the angel thing as a qualified "Angel Therpay Practitioner" via Angel Readings, etc
    shows much about her true nature.

    Meanwhile, there's a question about MAPs/TAP.....

    Taps 22 Jan 17.jpg

    There's doubt about when/if "packs" are transferred over, and as you can see, there's some answers. But I especially like the response to Gary "Thirsty" Strong's comment.....

    Taps 23 Jan 17.jpg

    That's told him, eh??

    Agreed. Maybe include something about the reason they joined was the making easy/residual money basis.

    This group is actually making a difference. I would encourage people from here to come and help guide some of these in the best way to speak to the relevant agencies.

    Tara, i have no idea what your issue with me is as you have a point blank refusal to engage with me. You can make a massive difference with this group... you have more knowledge and recorded information about all of the inconsistencies than anyone else I have seen. Your knowledge of the chargeback system is second to none, and your blog is respected. By talking to the members of the group and supporting them directly you will be able to impact their lives pro-actively.

    I sincerely hope that more anti-scam people from here can pitch in with advice and support to get this thing shut down and these fraudsters arrested as early as possible. Jack Mcgrath, Eagle, Scott Russell and myself are doing it, but there's still some scared and naive MAPpers in there that need you all.

    Yep either Tara or the scam page admin blocked the best scambuster I know for no reason Jon walsh and they will not explain why, I have been blocked twice for no reason, (I am on my 3rd fake FB account) just to post on their page (I dont frequent it anymore now) perhaps we are taking away some of the praise, or we are doing more than you to bust this scam and you dont like it..More MAP/TAP incriminating evidence has been posted in this group in one month than the scam page in 3 years. Rant over..Della Cate, are you the map scam page admin? if not can the real admin come forward and explain why the scambusters are being blocked from your page, I dont like being so critical of anything (except scams) but this is really bugging me and deserves an answer.

    If anyone is still interested Dannys new opportunities that he is pushing are World Ventures:

    World Ventures Review: Travel niche recruiting scam

    and Digital Altitude

    Digital Altitude Review: Marketing courses + events resurrected

    Certainly not as bad as the standard Rev share scams. But highly dubious no doubt

    All is not well in MAP TAP Paradise.

    Even The "Amazing" Dicky Arblaster cannot sort it out.

    If Simon Stepsys or Mark Ghobril are involved it's 100% a SCAM!

    Such as??

    I"m not into creating fake FB accounts and don't post to antiscam groups there, so I'm just really curious as to all this incredible evidence you keep referencing.

    From what I've seen and experienced in over a decade of posting against scams(off and on), once authorities get around to going after these scams, they don't need to be rocket scientists to piece it all together.

    This whole ego trip about doing more to "bust" a scam than someone else is a relatively new angle to me.

    And that is the bottom line.

    Unless, or until, the authorities become involved, all that can be done is to keep victims and / or potential victims informed, so they can make their own judgement.

    Thus:



    In my experience, a concentrated campaign of daily complaints to the SEC / Action Fraud etc would be far more productive than all the evidence gathering / Facebook complaints / pissing contests will ever do.

    This isn't TV.

    Things don't happen in 45 minutes, plus advertisement times.

    Government agencies don't act immediately, neither does Paypal and neither of them EVER reveal anything about ongoing investigations, until after the event

    But, they DO investigate, based on the number of complaints they receive.

    They have to, it's enshrined in law.

    Check out the AdSurf Daily, Telexfree / Zeek Rewards cases and you'll see just how long, how far reaching and how in depth the investigations took before prosecution eventuated.

    In 2014, the TelexFree scam was busted and TelexFree mastermind Carlos Wanzeler fled the USA for Brazil, yet, just this month, Wanzelers' nephew was caught attempting to launder $20million and transport it to Brazil.

    It turns out Homeland Security and US authorities were watching and had been co operating with Brazilian authorities since early 2015.

    Similarly with the AdSurf Daily and Zeek prosecutions.

    It was revealed in court the SEC / FBI / Homeland Security had been gathering evidence for two years before they acted.

    They had everything.

    Transcripts, videos, captured web pages, victim interviews, bank details, including every transaction, account numbers and balances, the lot

    AND, they revealed the triggers for their investigations were complaints from the public and Suspicious Activity Reports from financial institutions, such as Paypal and US banks.

    Report, report, report and then report some more.

    The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

    Bellend, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about? We haven't banned you? You say the same words as David Bell who has contributed much to our page for many months. Your Avatar changed from a man in glasses to a 'lovely' looking dog? So I'll hazard a guess you are the same poster? Correct me if I'm wrong?

    jon FB1.jpg
    Why you have suddenly turned against us on the MAPS UNITED FB page is a mystery Bellend/David Bell, but if you could please tell us which fake profiles of yours we were supposed to have blocked, I am very happy to investigate.
    As for Mr. Draper being the' best scambuster' in our community, you are certainly not the first person to tell us this.
    Many have messaged us saying the exact same thing.
    I am absolutely sure Mr. Draper has contributed much to our cause. He has Advertising contacts. He has Media contacts.
    He deserves credit for getting articles in newspapers - with more articles to come.
    And he now has his own FB page to post on. Great! Honestly! Not everybody likes us, that's cool. You can't please everybody.

    Mr. D. We all have different ways of doing things, different prospectives and different motives. You scambust the way you want to, we'll do it the way we want to. But please, just get quietly on with it.
    Just like the rest of us do...

    I was working on the assumption that we all have the same perspective; these rev shares are Ponzi's and should be closed with the relevant people being tried for their crimes.

    I was working with the motive that we all; were wanting to be of good to our wider community.

    I believe that a collective working together can make our ambitions happen faster than us working separately - the sum of our parts and all that. By working separately, we are unable to truly join up our individual knowledge.

    My media contacts would benefit by speaking with you Tara when an article is being put together.

    Your banning me from the ability to post, comment, and engage on the Facebook scam page is a hindrance to the closure of this MAP/TAP BS.

    My request to you is to drop the drawbridge and let's work together. I don't believe this is unreasonable.

    "Five star statement"

    Every single scrap of contribution by any participant via any outlet is invaluable.
    The SCAM-exposing's small community has historically been one where shared information and mutual support has benefited everybody.
    There's no benefit in contention between the generous people who donate their time trying to accomplish some good.
