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

Yeah, trust Gary "Thirsty" Strong, that's a good idea......

...........NOT!!!

No mention of tappety-Tapping, though, is there??

Over on Slithering Simon's FB page, he records that he was watching the Rugby (I assume on TV).

Jules, meanwhile, appears to be down the pub.

They do not appear to be in London for the promised TAP meeting. But what's odd - or maybe not so odd - is that there's no mention anywhere else of this event being cancelled. It's as if they are all pretending it was never going to happen anyway, that there hadn't REALLY been an event planned and publicised, so what's the fuss?

But there was an event scheduled, wasn't there? Cancelled through lack of take up apparently. But no-one's talking about it.

Mind you, they are all skipping off to pastures new, so the hard core of Tappers just doesn't seem to be there any more.

Fat Lady preparing to sing?

Oh no! Whatever can have happened?

JD 1 Feb 17.jpg

There they are - Simon as well, presumably - having a quiet drink in the Red Cow in Nantwich (I believe it was), and they get hassled by someone. The fiends! Don't they realise that an internet millionaire has a right to some privacy? He can't be promoting schemes to help others all the time, now can he? Obviously the hasslers were just jealous.

I just hope it wasn't disgruntled Mappers or Tappers (or brokers of banners or those who wanted to be empowered).

Looking at this, it's hardly surprising that Simon is keeping a low profile (well, trying to).

TAps 80 Feb 17.jpg

This is from Similarweb. I'm no expert but I can see that MAPs has dropped like a stone from August last year, and TAP has hardly got off the bottom. There's now only a small gap between the two. And people are hardly engaged with TAP, what with an average visit being less than a minute, and a bounce rate of over 80%.

Sounds to me like people go to the site, think "what's this cr*p?" and move away from it quickly.

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear.

And with all the publicity he's had in the Daily Mirror over the past 12 months or so, Simon's not in a good position to wriggle out of this one. I certainly hope so, anyway.

One can't help but get the feeling Septic Simons' very public image has put him in line for some physical retribution.

An increasing number of Facebook posters are hinting at finding him and exacting revenge.

All jokes aside, this is a deliberately designed multi million pound fraud and people in 2017 are less inclined to simply walk away, ESPECIALLY when Stepsys has made himself its' public face

Not just the public face; he has also boasted of the wealth he has acquired through it. Pictures of him and Jules on a plane, drinking champagne. Pictures of him with cigars. Pictures of designer label goods. Talk of shopping in Harrods. Luxury holidays. Pictures of his watches, his new pad, and above all, the cars.

If I'd put money into MAPs (or TAP, or whatever), which I now couldn't get hold of, I would not be too amused by pictures and videos of Simon driving a Bentley or a Rolls Royce. I might also feel like having strong words with him. Specially if I had taken out a loan or remortgaged my house to join in one of his schemes.

It's not something you can pass off with a light laugh and a cry of "Oh never mind!" is it?

Meanwhile, from the real world comes the story of Sizar Behnam, yet another MAP member chewed up and spat out.



What makes Sizar so special, you may ask:



Some readers may remember Sizar on stage.

I believe the quote from Simon and co was along the lines of "Check out this guy, if he can make money in MAP, anyone can! Right?".

Sizars' reality was a lot different

I have pretty much the same response to that as I did to that detestable POS Nazi-worshipping waste of oxygen, Richard Spencer, getting punched in the face by a white person no less for his absolutely repellent vocal musings regarding the 6 Muslims who were shot in that mosque in Canada - that is to say, GOOD. He is more than well overdue a kicking at this point and then some.

And as much as I do not usually condone violence as a rule (despite my cheery postings regarding that vermin), when it comes down to it and considering just how many people Stepcyst has wronged and ripped off over the years, it is absolutely nothing less then he deserves.

Sometimes justice is not carried out by the law or even by some kind of 'karmic just desserts'. Just good old fashioned cause and effect.

Gary Strong = Walter Mitty, IMO. And no further mention of mapping or tapping!

why would they have to be sold within any time period? It's not like they're going to be destroyed.

Well, Whip, I've been thinking about all this. I looked at it from every angle, practical, financial and even philosophical; and at the end of the day I came to one conclusion.

Gary Strong is a total knob.

That is all.

Meanwhile, Simon is back having another go at Global Money Line:-

SS 6 Feb 17.jpg

Remember how he posted that he was going to be in London all day on Thursday? It's a few postings back in this thread. Well, by amazing co-incidence, his old mate from Banners Broker days, Pinakee Naik, is also going to be in London on 9th Feb (which is Thursday) pushing Das Coin.

DC 1 Feb 17.jpg

Wonder if Simon is now sniffing around that one? If so, he's coming to the party a bit late, isn't he? I wonder how UvioO is doing these days? And Get My Ads? Poor old thing, he's a bit of a little lost lamb at present, don't you think? I get the impression he's desperately looking for a new bandwagon to jump onto, but the bigger boys have got there first, and they keep pushing him back down into the mud.

And of course, he's been getting more publicity over MAPs / TAP over the past few months (and not good publicity either), so perhaps brand Stepsys has got a bit toxic.

March 2015. "Hangout" posted on You Tube by Danny Lewington.



Go to approx 31 minutes in. Simon Stepsys clearly says that people are remortgaging houses, selling flats and cars, taking out loans and raiding their life savings to join MAPs (as it was then), and then he says "AND I ENCOURAGE THAT".

Yeah, bet you did, Simon.

He then goes on to say that the risk is small. He says he joined and didn't withdraw anything until he had the max number of packs, and had put £60k in which was "neither here nor there" to him.

Hardly surprising that some people, who perhaps he encouraged to put in money, are now a bit miffed and giving him grief.

Please save this vid for future reference.....

She's gonna be one pissed off puppy after spending hours a day clicking on tasks only to find out that TAP has collapsed...

I think we can safely say anyone who follows Septic Simon into this rebound scheme is no longer a victim and deserves to lose.

He really is repulsive, isn't he? Absolutely shameless.

I take it that is Get My Ads or Global Moneyline? I didn't look too closely. And unfortunately, people WILL follow him.

I bet Richard Arblaster has done so already.

I would just like to reiterate my recent comment regarding him being completely deserving of a kicking.

DISCLAIMER: We here at Realscam do NOT obviously condone any forms of violence or abuse to anyone, be it verbally or physically in nature.

But I'm just sayin'.

My word, things must be bad.

Our favourite taxi driver is now promoting something called "Traffic Ad Bar", founded by someone called Darren Merret (anyone know that name?)

Free advertising traffic exchange - Traffic Ad Bar

Taps 83 Feb 17.jpg

There seems an awful lot of these traffic exchange things about. Maybe there's a "buy one, get one free" offer on the off -the -shelf internet scripts?

While TAP is struggling along, and not much is happening - apart from members complaining a bit about "profit share" being down, and that it's hard to complete their daily tasks = Simon's watching the TV and entering competitions.

SS 7 Feb 17.jpg

I thought he might have made a new friend, in the form of David Sharpe, but it seems Mr Sharpe is an old friend - he's the one in the black t-shirt:-

SS 9 Feb 17.jpg

Looks like he was a co-founder of Empower, until there was a parting of the ways and he apparently left to form his own scheme/s. Have to say, I've never heard of him before, but from the tiny bit I've looked up, he sees to be a perfect match for Simon:-

SS 8 Feb 17.jpg

Poor old Simon. Seems to me that he's really scratching about, trying to find new friends and call in favours from old ones. Whatever can have happened? I mean, there was no risk with MAPs, it was a good idea to remortgage your house to join it according to Simon, and people went on to be "smashing it" in TAP. According to him, everything was rosy. Don't tell me that wasn't true, I just can't believe it!

It seems you can take the boy out of the ponzi, but you can't take the ponzi out of the boy.

Check out Danny Turner / Doede Khans' newly renamed Social Media Network Marketing / dannyturner page on Facebook



The difference between the "new" Danny Turner and the old MAP pimping Danny Turner / Doede Khan is................................................ ...............what, exactly ???

I really wonder if that is Danny's group, LRM.

Ayesha Khan is the only admin, and Danny doesn't appear listed as a member. But look who does:-

SMNW 1 Feb 17.jpg
Yup. Step forwards Julie Davies, Gary Strong, Dave Finney and Denise Garrity, Darren "Dazbo" Protheroe, Dave "Top Tips" Hayes, Sean Strong, Duncan Wood, Cecilia Chapman and two more; and that's just a few. All previous Mappers / current Tappers / Traffic Monsooners. What a choice selection!

Meanwhile, Danny's personal FB page shows this.....

DT 5 Feb 17.jpg
.......and has done for the past 9 or 10 hours. Either its locked down or gone. When it was up, he said he lived in Manchester; well, maybe he does now, but he used to live in a place called Ashley, in Staffordshire. That was when he was active in MAPs and full of confidence and bravado.

He has ceased to be listed as an Admin of the MAP Members United FB page as well, and in fact isn't even listed as a member.

I might be totally worng, and apologies if so, but my impression is that dear old Danny is trying to wipe away his past activities as if they never happened. Now, why would he be doing that, I wonder?

Of course, if this IS his page, then the answer to your qustion is: "Not a lot!"

OH NO !!!!

Not the dreaded TAP Technical Troubles already.

Why indeed ????

The name change did, however, coincide with this announcement:
