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

While nothing new to those here, when you look at U-Tube comments almost everyone is gushing, that is because naysayers like ole Joe have their comments deleted. There were actually a few more dandies, but I got distracted and they were gone gone gone.

When people like malgorzata kruczek start crying that they had noooooooooooooo idea this was a scam, know they were warned and chose to hide the truth. When CEO Mike Deese has done nothing but promote "profit clicking scams" it is hard to take any of these people seriously as anything other than law breakers.

Hi. I've just registered to be able to comment on this thread. I'll try to be concise and not ramble.

A close friend of mine got into MAPS via her boyfriend and thought it a dream to be able to work from home and earn money. She's incredibly bright in creative fields. She insisted it was good and to get involved. I did. I bought a pack and tried it.

I was staggered at how shoddy the website was and their appalling grammar and spelling and mis-use of words like profits, revenue and investment. If this is being referred to as an investment, surely it can be investigated by the FCA (UK).

I warned my friend not to put in more money than she's willing to lose after seeing these warning signs. It almost led to an argument because when i told her that I thought it was a ponzi (which it is but credit pack build up means people are delayed in withdrawing their money. I assume this makes the whole scheme go on longer, with more time to recruit). She ignored my advice which i found slightly insulting, but it was her decision to make.

I genuinely believe SS is a vile person and his desperation for material gains are abhorrent. I even shared his post on Facebook with at least 15 silly hash tags and simply commented #c**t. I'm not the type to stand idly by. I'm going to write to trading standards, ASA and see if there is anything we can do to stop this Maps. I'm not aware of other schemes but i believe there are many. She recently tried to convince me to join in a spread betting program. Anyone know anything about these.

Of course we would all love to make easy money, spending 10 minutes a day at a computer. If that is at the cost of others lower in the pyramid, that's a question for your own conscience.

From all the wealthy and influential people i've met, which include a few billionaires on an occasion. The answer is always the same. Focus on what you enjoy, work as hard as you can, with a bit of luck you'll do well. I wouldn't take a penny, and SS is a morally repugnant man who's silly ideals and motives only serve to highlight his lack of intellectual substance.

I'll stick to working hard, and hope to recognise the right opportunity when I see it.

Sorry for rambling.

Hiya, saintlyluke and welcome to REALSCAM.com

Unfortunately your story is all too familiar, your friend is no orphan in believing what to most people is unbelievable and Septic Simon Stepsys is just one member of a whole subclass of society only too willing to take advantage of her naivete.

I'd like to believe that, as we speak, there is someone in a position of authority out there who thinks it at least worth a try to put in place a plan to pick off and prosecute the top 10 or 20 US and UK serial ponzi pimps in an attempt to "put the frighteners" at least temporarily, into the HYIP ponzi / pyramid industry

As it is, the Simon Stepsys of this world see to see themselves as untouchable and are, in effect, giving the middle finger on a daily basis to law enforcment

IM(very)HO, a few sizeable clawback proceedings would do the trick.

We can but hope

You are right on all fronts. Even though Banners Broker took two years to implode there were many that hung on to their fictional back office balances. Heck, even some scams where the government moved in there are people who think it was the feds that ripped them off. It is a crazy world trying to warn people from scams.

Its interesting that you say this. is myadvertisingpays a scam or legit | myadvertisingpays trust reviews |check myadvertisingpays for fraud and risk | is myadvertisingpays safe or fake Hosted by Go-Daddy on a shared sever, just like GOOGLE and YAHOO. I kid, if they were selling t-shirts or baskets of apples this would be reasonable.

I would rather lose my money this way than clicking ads, but even with legitimate brokers it is not going to be a printing press. In the US there is ONE firm I am aware of listed to do this sort of trading Binary Options Legal US. So any of the offshore brokers are operating illegally and people who send them money should plan not to see it again.

Buyer beware as they say.

The appeal of easy money is the hook for of any of these cons. Its funny they are having MAPS millionaire hangouts, just like the scams that came before. Victims never stop to ask when was the last time a millionaire wanted to share their business for a pittance?

Your story is so like mine Saintlyluke. Luckily for me through my brother finally saw sense and realised he had been scammed. Fortunately as well he managed to get his money back via Chargeback, but I had to push him to do it.
The clever thing about both MAPS and BANNERS BROKER is that they are designed to hold on to your money for as long as possible, delaying the inevitable. I really hope that when BB finally explodes in public that MAPS will have the spotlight shined on it along with numerous other similar schemes .

Hello SaintlyLuke and welcome.

Thanks for your posting. I especially liked your description of Simon the Virus as "a morally repugnant man who's silly ideals and motives only serve to highlight his lack of intellectual substance." Classic!

Thank you Della Cate and everyone for your replies. It's nice to speak to like minded people who feel so strongly about this. I hope SS and others who are promoting this face some jail time or at the very least, are stripped of all their ill-gotten gains.

Well, I have had a bit of a response from the CAB. I don't want to give too much away (happy to if anyone PMs me, of course) in case it tips the MAPs lot off; however suffice to say the CAB will take a robust line with any MAPs fly posting they see.

Can I please ask that, if anyone here sees any MAPs posters fly posted, especially around any CAB offices, you tell the CAB office immediately. Also, please note that fly posting IS ILLEGAL in the UK, and flyposters can be, and are, prosecuted.

I say this because over on Stepsys's FB group, several more of the characters are starting to flypost their MAPs posters.

We are now at the pretend millionaires part of the scam. Easy money for folks just like you...

1200 CP Members

Keep in mind, having 1200 "credit packs" is about the same as taking your winnings from Monopoly and trying to parlay your real estate empire. People like Simon don't have fakey ad packs, they have cash from suckers.


MAPS like turning money into slaw.JPG

This is an excerpt from a private message to a MAPS believer, which is like lecturing my dog about licking himself while we have company. Actually, its not even private, blocked is more like it, can't be having the future posted on your scam videos.

MAPS BELIEVER THIS IS YOUR FUTURE

No matter what "sever upgrades" ,"system issues", "payment processor shopping", "know your customer" ,or "regulatory compliance", MAPS will claim to be doing while they are not making payments to affiliates they will always be accepting new money. The biggy so stay alert.

Next they will clamp down on withdraws so they slow to a trickle. Simon already has his money out as do the other big pimps. You will hear a zillion reasons for this, but there is ONE, to keep the scam going. BETTER GET YOUR CASH OUT NOW, ONLY SUCKERS ROLL WINNINGS THIS LATE IN THE GAME...

You will hear about selective payments, usually these go to big recruiters. For the obvious reason that MAPS needs money from newbs. If you are not bringing in fresh fish they have no use for you.

EXCUSES EXCUSES EXCUSES. Of course your pretendy back office balance will continue to "earn" while they don't pay you. When they really need time to conserve cash they will do the old "server conversion". LOL Maybe even move the whole server farm to China.

Payment processors, have them send you a check. Once the legit processors figure out MAPS is running a scam they will give them the boot. This notwithstanding, they will pretend to be searching for a processor to get you your hard earned money. Have Western Union where you live, ask for a wire, and if you listen close you will hear the pimps laughing though a muffled phone.

Be positive if not they will close your account and you will never see your pretend earnings. What, they are taking monthly fees now with fresh money, you don't say.

That's about all for now, as this starts to happen you will wake up and report the crime to law enforcement. Or like so many victims you might think it one big coincidence. Either way you are involved in a scam and dealing with criminals.

Hahaha, Too late, so late buddy, MMCIS Scam did it first :)



How about they continue the same MMCIS idea and introduce $$$ to each person with their tatoo.
So the rest scammers in future can see stupid easy–mark suckers from far away.

Remember this classic?

Simon the Virus has helpfully listed all the "Diamond" level MAP members, the so-called "elite", and included their photos.

I have had some more very useful feedback from the CAB. Let's just say that their awareness is now raised.

what do you mean? the thread post count is only up to 165 with your 164 before it.
And now I see mine was also numbered 165 (so there were 2 #165) before this edit.

You should not be ruining a surprise for scammers.
Talk about it publicly when it is in action

I wonder how many people are being paid "72 times a day" by My Advertising Pays (other than Septic Simon Stepsys, that is)



Can we have a little bit of exaggeration music please Mr Maestro ??

I'm not. There's more that I know, but have not said so.

I've noticed that, over on The Virus's FB Group for MAPs, the eager affiliates like to post screenshots of their "earnings". Several of these involve quite big numbers. Occasionally one or two will say they have withdrawn some money, and again, this can be quite a big number.

What we don't see is any photo of them holding lots of money. Or copies of their bank statement showing a huge balance. Not that that would prove much, these things are easy to fake. They all seem to be living in the same places, doing the same things, even Simon the Virus hasn't yet bought a new suit or learned to fasten his shirt cuffs. I bet even the big recruiters aren't getting enough to run away and start a new life, which is what they might need to do one day when all their past schemes catch up with them. So an interested observer might ask what on earth is the point of it all?

And as for those screenshots of their e-wallet, I'm staggered. Do they think it's REAL or something? The majority keep on saving it up, admiring it, boasting about it, making plans for what they are going to do with it, posting pictures of things they might buy with it.....etc.

They're in for a BIG shock when they all start to make withdrawal requests, aren't they?

At the moment, they seem to be still recruiting, so money is coming in. As most members are encouraged to "invest" in credit packs (or "re-purchase them" as they are told to say) it seems that very little money is going out. As one of our colleagues said a page or so back, the problem will come when they want to take money out for Christmas. That's likely to be soon, because we are nearly into December. I think we can expect "technical issues" to start soon, meaning that withdrawals will be delayed. They've had a few, but I reckon they were just a practice run for the real thing.

Only time will tell.

There is so much emotion and so little reason wrapped up in this behavior. It does not square with how any REAL business would operate, especially one run by people so consumed with avarice. Their constant displays of money and its trappings betray the altruistic ruse of sharing this great opportunity.

If MAPs was truly throwing off this much cash just for "clicking ads" what on earth is the need to continually recruit new members? Any REAL business would roll over profits and hire employees. If Simon et. al. are really being generous in "letting people in" on this great opportunity why not fund their positions at 100%? Just get them on the team to "click N win" and even more money would flow if the clicking was truly what this is about.

I had a good discussion with someone on Facebook about some of these people being blinded by optismism. It is hard to be logical with people so consumed by easy money tales, but logically speaking I can't come up with a single real world reason MAPs would need fresh money at this point.

They aren't even 'pretending' it isn't a 'referral business':

Harrison, how right you are in your post above (171)!

I saw these comments on The Virus's FB group page:-
MAPS 34 Nov 14.jpg
Then there is this from Richard Arblaster:-
MAPS 33 Nov 14.jpg

Whatever happened to clicking on 10 ads a day, hmmm?

Question: Why do all these characters post videos of themselves either in cars, or (even worse) taken whilst DRIVING cars?

Do they think it makes them look important and high-powered or something?

Idiots.

That (videos done while driving) is something I've wondered myself many times, seeing them on Youtube. Dangerous for both the driver and others on the road, and entirely illegal in some jurisdictions specifically because of the increased danger. Not that these fools understand the difference between legal and illegal in far too many cases.
