Title: BannersBroker - Scam..!
Post by SolidSnake on 14^th Jun, 2013 at 10:13am

Yesterday a friend of mine (offline) told me that someone introduced him to BannersBroker.com and he asked me if he should try it or not. After a quick search on google I found many scam alerts on that one. So I'd like to ask you guys too, maybe you know something more.. Has anyone tried it?

I see that it's only payment processor is Payza.. which probably means that PayPal did not like them.. is it a HYIP?

Yes, it's the most likely scenario.
Just today I found out that DECO, a Portuguese association for consumer rights, issued a warning regarding Banners Broker, advising people to stay away from it, as it's a pyramid scheme, even though it has some advertising revenue.

It's pretty rare to see this association mention anything related to Internet businesses, so the fact that BB has called their atention means a lot to me.

Interesting.. and I also found out this article on the case.. link

It looks like it's not only investigated by Portugal but U.S.A. and Canada too.. :-/
It is said a lot that it's a typical ponzi scheme even though it offers some advertising..
and it seems to be true enough..
