    Mastercard has withdrawn its services from Banners Broker because it no longer wants to be associated with them.

    Seems like it is grinding to a halt from recent reports.

    Hi Guys

    Just a word of warning if anyone is thinking of getting into Banners Broker, DONT!
    I have had experience of this company personally and also have friends and family who are caught up in the con.
    Yes, people were earning money from this last year, a personal friend of mine withdrew 11,000 dollars and only invested 450 the year before.
    Those days, I can categorically tell you are GONE!
    Now, withdrawels are not being paid at all. Pending withdraws from January 2013 are still outstanding for most affiliates. Their own employees are fleeing the sinking ship scared of the legal implications from many bodies all over the world who are now investigating this scam. The net is tightening for Chris Smith, Rajiv Dixit and their new gofer David Hooker.
    Any account that is set up now will take at least 6 months before it matures enough to make a withdrawel by which time this will be a distant memory with, hopefully, the aforesaid 3 picking up soap in the shower room of the nearest prison to Ontario getting a real taste of their own medicine!

    Hi,
    I am a banners broker affiliate.
    I have not taken any money out.
    It’s very complicated but quite fun.
    It’s likely to be a scam
    I put in about $550 3 months ago the account is now worth $2500.
    If I ever get my money out I’ll let you know.

    Just to be clear, what makes your account worth $2500?

    $2,500 is probably the first figure that came into his head.

    Its nice to see so many posts here on BB. Can I please ask if anybody has been recently paid? If not, then I'm a strong advocate of 'Chargeback' and have successfully advised numerous people on how to get their money back successfully.
  • Hello Everybody


    So I'm one of the fools that trusted a friend who got me to bite my tongue and join Banners Broker even though I had my doubts about the company.


    I put in no small amount and ofc through being online found out it was indeed my worst fears and it was a scam. Now I've been in a fight to get my money back from this seriously depressing experience for over 9 months now and I'm not giving up, there's a liquidator appointed now and there's the charge back service or at least I thought there was a chargeback service.


    My latest fight has been with my bank asking them to pursue visas 540 day chargeback service under the section " Goods not received" And a lot of other affiliates have been successful with this.


    My banks playing hardball though this is the response I got off them today.


    The latest one I've been hit with and I'm trying to get my head around is this "You've used part of this company's service by them creating an account allowing you to deposit money into it and the possibility to make withdrawals.


    I responded by saying I'm disputing the terms and conditions where it says they will pay affiliates commissions and that all liquidation request will be honoured etc, so I've not received their service.


    They're saying "That withdrawals is only a partial service they are providing to you and as we can't ascertain what the value of that service is we can't pursue a chargeback."


    They went on to say that "The terms and conditions under section C only provide remit for a legal charge back not through visa's chargeback service."


    This is section C from Banners Broker




    Section C (Affiliate & Client)
    Payment Conditions
    I adhere to the following:




      [*]All liquidation requests made shall be honored within fifteen business days for standard subscribers and seven business days for premium subscribers to the payment amount noted in your back office.
      [*]All commissions and bonuses are paid in the name of the applicant on the affiliate/client agreement.



      I don't know what to do I know there are successful affiliates who have claimed their money back through their banks. I just don't know what to say to my bank and I'm really not sure why they're hung up on the possibility of a withdrawal only being a partial service and that I had some service by the company creating an account etc.


      What's really baffling me is that I've sent them the liquidation letter from the court 2 times already and this is the latest in a series of excuses to not follow the charge back request.


      I'm fighting both banners broker and my bank how am I the one who looses and what's worse is this banks ethos is going above and beyond in customer service.


      I know I'm idiot for getting involved I've been living with that for the 1 year and a few months. Do I have a leg to stand on or do I wait the long wait and put all my eggs in the liquidator basket?


      Plz If you guys have anything that could help I'd really love to hear from you.
