TARA TALKS: My Advertising Pays - Who Is Ron Smith?

I've just read the article on Tara's page....and all I can think of is "Eh?"

Ron Smith?? Who on EARTH is that? Never even heard the name before. Unless of course......he doesn't exist??

Just editing my post now because I have found this....



So that is "Ron Smith"?

maybe in a previous life he was 'frederick mann' or 'roman novak'

Ron Smith is mentioned earlier in this thread - page 121 or thereabouts.

He has a FB page, but does not mention MAPs and his last posting was in March 2016.

Some of his friends look awfully familiar though.....

In the case of our old friend and My Advertising Pays pimp, Danny Turner aka Doede Khan, he's moved into charity work:



reach4humanity.org

Making amends ? paying penance ? or has he found another way to steal other peoples' money ??

Err.....even that has gone from his FB page today.

Another cleaning up job. No photos. No information. No friends.

Don't worry Della, little 'Danny Turner' won't be forgotten by me in a hurry! Snip, snip!

CHEERS Danny btw! I raised an extra big glass of champers (well, fizzy wine anyway!) tonight, just for you!
Missing you already hunny bun - not!
Tara!

Well, it looks as if there was some sort of event in Berlin today.

Mike Deese and Tony Booth were not there, but sent a video message - Corinna Stringer, in a vid on her Fb page, calls it a "pre-recorded video". Here it is called a "live stream".

Cannot find any evidence of what they actually said though.

Well ,who'd have thunk it (again)

The mysterious "Ron Smith" was also in Banners Broker.....

Humanitarian entrepreneur wanting to change the world. Perhaps he could learn something from Mahatma Ghandi who only wanted to change conditions on the Indian sub continent.


Quote

"Ghandi attempted to practise nonviolence and truth in all situations, and advocated that others do the same. He lived modestly in a self-sufficient residential community and wore the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven with yarn hand-spun on a charkha. He ate simple vegetarian food, and also undertook long fasts as a means of both self-purification and social protest."

Following in the footsteps of Traffic Monsoon, My Advertising Pays claim their credit card processor has frozen funds for an “undisclosed and unanticipated period of time”.

He certainly was Della...and Empower! And loads of other sites. The guy looks like a Ponzi Pro!

I bet this will be a rivetting listen.....

What ARE those crazy Mappers going to come up with now??

So.....Stepsys, Smith and Ghobril (to name just three) have all followed each other round in and out of the same schemes. Banners Broker. Empower. And now MAPs. They may have met up before in other schemes, but these are the ones we know they were in. Smith and Stepsys were in all three, Ghobril was in at least two (I am not sure if he was in Empower).

I don't think that's co-incidence, do you? When do you think they first met? Did they decide to tip each other off about promising schemes? Is Mike Deese even responsible for MAPs? Or is he, as others have been saying for a long time, just a front man, a cover? Why DO the same names copr up again and again, and why DO the same people always get to the top spots so quickly? Luck? Or something more?

I am not saying any of the above is true. I am just throwing some questions out there. Because it's looking more and more like a freemasonry of dodgy schemes IMHO!

(And no, I am not a tinfoil hat wearing conspiricy theorist.)

Maps problem with its payment processor appears to be with VX Gateway, am I right? I think Corinna, in her posting, referred to the "VX Gateway issue".

Out of curiosity, I went to the VX Gateway site. All looked OK, until I went to "contact us" and found this:-

So, there is no way of getting in touch with them right now.

What about their other clients then? They do have other clients, apart from MAPs, right?

It's gonna take more than a few prayers to fix MAP Jules.

Who'd have believed it if they didn't see it with their own eyes ???

Of all the places in the world they could have chosen the VX GATEWAY payment processor and its' only customer, My Advertising Pays independently decide to set up offices at the same address.

Not once, not twice, but THREE times.





As if that's not amazing enough, they coincidentally decide to pick three of the most unlikely places for a business to establish branch offices, Azerbaijan, Mauritius and Georgia to set up shop.

In the words of Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs "Rule 39: There is no such thing as coincidence."

Time for this weeks' game of "Remember the Faces and Names Before They Disappear"

From the My Advertising Pays Scam page on Facebook

can i add peter lea to the rogues gallery. after all his mum is a diamond, under him, to pay for her retirement home.......
that's pretty disgusting

Doh, and Gary Strong

And Corinna Stringer, our Berlin correspondent, Richard Arblaster (must notforget him, remember MAPS paid for his flat and his giving up work), Dave Finney (another one who gave up work) and his new Mapping partner, Denise Garrity, MAPS apparently paying for their rented pad near Llangollen; Leslie Carter (gave up being a bus driver), Andrew Walker (gave up being a taxi driver, are we seeing a pattern here?), Jules Davies (Simons Stepsys partner, also known as Julie Davies), Dave Heyes (Top Tips Man), Colin Simmonds, Caroline Nettle (who also works with angels), Frankie Calabro Jnr (he of the Big Trucks), Andreas Zenker, Francisco Linares, Daniel Schafer, Martin Codack, Bhwanee Tiwari, Margariet Denhaag, Lady Vitalia........ That's all I can think of for now....

We really need to keep a list of these people because I am certain that one or all of them will pop up again.

Hang on. Azerbaijan, Mauritius and Georgia?? WTF??

Not exactly the first places you would think of. Is there some advantage to seeting up shop there, does anyone know?

And for both MAPs and VX Gateway to choose them, well, Agent Gibbs was right.

Oh look.

Danny's gone (maybe)

Still 100% committed to MAPs are you, Danny??

One of the nicest things I was looking forward to when MAPS finally disappeared into the great Ponzi abyss was that I've never have to hear the name Danny/Doede/Dotty/muppet, ever again. And now his pesky name is mentioned more than Mike's is!
