Traffic Monsoon SCAM

We've launched a new Facebook page tonight called 'Traffic Monsoon SCAM'.

And I have a new site page: 'Traffic Monsoon Scam'

Both 'Traffic Monsoon' AND 'My Advertising Pays' are
 'Click Ten Ads a Day and Get Rich'  PONZI scams 
who BOTH advertise on each others sites!

 Which one will close first?
You can be sure I'll let you know when they do!

REPORTING SCAM SITES:

There are various agencies for reporting SCAMS and I urge you to do this. 

The UK Action Fraud line http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/ was reported as saying recently that VERY FEW PEOPLE ACTUALLY COMPLAIN IF THEY HAVE BEEN SCAMMED.But without affiliates complaining, scams will continue to entice innocent people.

If you don't report scams, the authorities have no way of knowing about them.

The Which Guide to Consumer Rights has a wealth of information about Scams and Pyamid schemes:
Some links below:

What is BLACK DECEMBER?

'Black December' is the phrase used for when Ponzi's finally implode because payment issues usually  happen at Christmas. Thousands of affiliates all think the money they have in their accounts is real and want to withdraw it to buy lovely things for Christmas. The problem is, the scammers don't have the money, it's long gone. So they either close the scams down or start making excuses for non-payment.   
These issues usually start around mid October and continue through November until right up to the last moment when all hope of your money appearing is finally gone.
This is a doubly cruel blow because not only do you NOT have the money but it's too late to do anything about it. So the only thing filling your Christmas stocking is the hot air coming from your computer!
I've written this hymn to the tune of 'Away in a Manger' and really hope that you heed the warnings we give before it's to late.
