Recently I came across a site "200kincome" which like all other scam site's claimed that you can earn a lot of money with no effort and in no time.The site was crowded with exceptionally positive testimonials and also had a video showing proof of payments.The site was easily distinguishable for what it really was-A Scam but here i came to know about an interesting person Simon stepsys.He owns 200kincome with some other websites and blogs and calls himself a online marketing guru along with net millionaire.Upon further researching i found out that he is also on facebook and twitter where he has decent amount of friends and followers.He promotes his Simon stepsys programme which will supposedly make you a millionaire and all you have to do is follow his system step by step.This person is good at what he does and that is tricking people out of their money. His facebook and twitter pages uplift his image a lot,he also likes to post free articles to make people trust him but if you go in depth you can easily tell that Most of them are utter rubbish with false claims and have nothing that will actually help you(you will find some useful but their only purpose is to build up false trust),still he has been able to scam many people and his sites are up and running.
It has taken up a lot of my time in researching him and i can say with full confidence that he is a Scam.If you purchase his package you are mainly told to post ads which by the way further Strengthens his scam network and leaves you in worst financial condition as before(posting ads takes money).Contacting him on facbook and twitter is impossible as every one of your comments,posts,tweets will be ignored and Don get sucked in by the money back grantee as their are already hundred's of people waiting for their money back for over a year.Legal action also been taken against him,In 1998 their was a case done on him by office of fair trading but it didn't help much as he is still at large.Whenever and wherever you see this person's name the best thing to do is to look the other away as fast as possible.
Great post, I am now on a crusade to make sure every facebook, Twitter, google + users knows exactly what this guy is like
ReplyDeleteThis is a great inspiring article.I am pretty much pleased with your good work.You put really very helpful information. Keep it up. Keep blogging. Looking to reading your next post. Money Today
DeleteWhere's your proof? I contacted Simon and got a response with a useful answer to my question.
ReplyDeletePerhaps if you'd spent more time working the schemes and following up on good ideas, then you'd be in a much more positive frame of mind.
Unfortunately the majority of people wouldn't know what a 'scam' was, even if one came up and slapped them around the face.
So for the record, is your pension a wise investment or a scam?
Just because it's run by a well-known company, the pension companies still manage to REDUCE the amount of money you can rely on in retirement.
Meanwhile they try to make you take out an annuity. Why? Because they get to keep the residue after the pension holder has died.
Now, in my book THAT'S a scam!
Go to rip off reports and you'll find your proof.
DeleteYou are an idiot
Deletesome counter argument would have been nice instead of calling me an idiot.....
DeleteNever mind defending him, Steve Thomas, if that is your real name. SIMON STEPSYS IS A FRAUDSTER. SIMPLE AS. END OF. AVOID ALL HIS OFFERS.
DeleteLAW ASSOCIATES
Just found this again! Yes, Law Associates (who?) my name is Steve Thomas!
DeleteWhatever you opinions about one person, don't let it cloud your view of an opportunity. I work with the Empower Network and am developing a successful business there - I know because I've been paid!
Now, if you know nothing about internet marketing - and it could be for your own business - then there's a wealth of material to use and benefit from.
Steve, that may be, that you have in fact been paid. Yes, you have read and understood all the many emails sent to us suckers and been one of the few to make money but...the money you have made comes from the people who did the steps you did to get you 'paid' (i'd be interested to know how much, or little as the case may be) but didn't fully understand the insanely complicated actions required to do so. Perhaps you may think that it is not your fault that people don't understand but matey, that does not mean that they should lose money in the process. Have you pondered where your money comes from ie, what is being bought and sold, what is the tangible product that is making you, Empower Network, Mr Stepsey et al money? This is a pyramid scheme, look it up if you don't know already what one of those is. You may be a person, I don't know, who can sleep at night because your bank balance is better than it was but to the detriment of others. I can't. I went no further with this scheme because I saw it for what it was. Standing and squeezing other people to make my life better is not what I stand for and is WRONG. Either you know what you are doing to get 'paid' or you don't realise and understand where your money is coming from. If you are an honest, good person please look into what it is exactly that you are involved in.

Deletei contacted simon and he phones me a half hour later he gave me all the answers to my questions
ReplyDeletewere the questions he answered "who do i make the cheque payable to?" and "how much"? he answers these.
ReplyDeleteAs far as i can see you are shooting in the dark and really have no idea how internet marketing works. Simon is a stand up guy, Very popular gent, He has been working with EN and BB for a few years he dont own the programs he just works them. You introduce people to an opportunity show them the way and it is up to those people to work THEIR BUSINESES they should learn what they need and get on with it. Simon is just one face of those companies. TOP Tip Start an ebay business selling amazon products. Training provided http://makemoney4freedom.com
ReplyDeleteIv known him for years,simon is a nice guy..
DeleteHave you? I'm his relative and I've never seen him before in my life... What a nice guy, eh? Tell me more about him please..
DeleteSimon makes empty promises, I signed up under him on Empower. His girlfriend contacted me and made me all sorts of promises if I went 'all in' (training, leads etc). He did his best to avoid answering my emails and calls when the incentives didn't materialise. When he realised I wasn't going to give up he called me, his training had very little substance. He talks a good game and that's about all. He uses deception and lies to get you to buy what he wants to sell.
ReplyDeleteSteer well clear.
There are far too many get rich quick losers being 'attracted' to the make money industry on a 'daily' basis. No matter how many income disclaimers saying that it takes hard work, skill and determination to make the kind of income that a successful marketer like Simon makes, the losers keep on 'sponsor' shopping.
ReplyDeleteLook, it does not matter who you guys join under (Tony Robbins could be your sponsor and you could still fail) because your success is ONLY determined by 'one' person -YOU!
Do you jerks get it?
These guys will 'try' one opportunity then find out that it takes some real work on their part then they quit (maybe spend more time 'creating' a SCAM report and take a break from the industry for a little while.
Then they show up again 6 months later 'hoping' they will find some other GURU to help them get money quickly.
Then they 'claim' the no support matter again, write another SCAM report about another leader and take a break for another 6 months before the losers come back again and start the bull shit all over.
Give me a break!
why do these so called marketers don't mention "it takes time and experience to earn" in their sales page, why only in thier disclaimer? in the sales page they are promoting their product as easy to use, no experience required and quick to earn money and in the disclaimer they are telling another story.
DeleteYou don't need some guru or his products to succeed online
Skill and determination = lies and deception in this case
DeleteEvery Empower Network has an audio track that says it takes time, hard work, and dedication to earn a significant income. It points to the Incomes Disclaimer - http://www.empowernetwork.com/income?id=bimglobal - that gives a breakdown of what people could expect.
DeleteNowhere does it guarantee you'll make money - just as in any business venture.
Yes, you can make money online yourself. But if you seek out a mentor rather than a guru, you might be able to get there faster.
Do your research. Don't believe comments on message boards from anonymous people, negative people, or others with a set agenda.
If you're determined to succeed, try it out.
I've tried many products where you pay $47 or something and then get something that's not what I expected. So for the sake of being upfront, at EN you'd pay:
Blogging platform: $25
Affiliate fee: $19.95
Inner Circle audio training: $100
Costa Rica training video: $500
15k Formula: $1000
Master's Course: $3,500
There are other educational products that you can buy too. BUT make sure YOU have a good reason to buy them. They will answer your questions, but unless you put them to good use you'd be wasting your money.
An example would be Traffic X for $997 + optional extras for $497. This gives marketers the knowledge they need to know about driving traffic to your website or offer. A small business getting zero leads could really benefit from this stuff.
I have been unsuccessful as an internet marketer. I will continue to work as though I am running my own business. I don't want any free lunch but I do expect people to have integrity. In my view of things we should help one another. So I appreciate this blog.
DeleteAs a blogger and publisher on and afflictive marketer for several years I would aviod this guy in 2006 he complained to my Gmail blogger account which lead to my large blog being deleted by Google because to the op he was convicted of fraud also along with partner in crime of his for mail scam
ReplyDeleteHe also advertises in the local ad sections in the uk of loot magazines or loot.com
He also as mentioned convicted over a fake mail stuffing work at home scam
http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?p=602150 hope you dont mind but added this here for evidence old forum thread but shows his past
Cheers
I meet Simon last wkend and he is a genuine hardworking guy and his latest venture is one I'm participating in S Cormack
ReplyDeleteSimon Stepsys is now promoting My Advertising Pays (MAPS) where he conducts live hotel presentations and produced online training videos for his followers. He shows his real account with MAPS where he is the top producer and currently earns $3000 a day.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it all in dollars??
ReplyDeleteThe guys a prick. I was duped by someone under the guise that 'simon will mentor you' Keith something or other from Manchester. Both of the turned out to be utter fraudsters.
ReplyDeleteHe was supposed t be my sponsor in Empower Network. he did ALL he could to persuade me to get "ALL IN" and when I was ready to make a complete commitment, not only financially, but with 100% effort, right after I paid and he had got his commissions he completely and utterly blanked me, from facebook, twitter, emails, phone calls etc etc.
ReplyDeleteThis has NOTHING to do with whether people make a commitment or not, this guy is a blatant scammer and he can enjoy all his riches while they last, but when karma catches up with this guy it will hit him VERY VERY hard.
To me he has been very accessible. I've been looking at marketing for years but it dose not mean I've made the commitment. I have not made it yet.
DeleteI refuse blame others for not doing all it takes to be successful. I must take responsibility for my own actions. Quit complaining get off your duff and do something. The only reservation I put on is common since. Honest,Legal,Moral and Ethical. Lets Rock!
The Guy a Multimillionaire He gets up in the morning and goes to work.. He puts in a lot. He has made rich people. He gets a buzz out of helping others get rich people who get up in the morning and go about their business as well. In Maps he is a fantastic promotional speaker. Encourages people to get up out of bed to achieve their goals. He will not give up, thousands of people highly respect him. I am one of them. What time were you up making money this morning? Don't knock the guy because of previous companies he has worked with many have failed for one reason or another that was beyond his control. Maps is an ingenious way to make money he is not a co-coordinator he is a representative just like any other member including me. He makes a hell of a lot money because he is good at what he does. He makes more again showing others how to what he does so they can make money also, the company reward him for showing others just as they reward me for showing others how to make money. So where is the scam in this wonderful opportunity that gets normal people out of a rut and on the the to financial freedom. You won't find anything like this at the Job Center. If people are jealous and create detrimental blogs as such they will deprive the opportunist out there searching the chance to better themselves and be influenced to abandon their quest. That to me is more controversial yet again. Scamming is a criminal offense. There is no evidence whatsoever against Simon Stepsy.. false accusations made is a crime falsely accuse a person this is a crime. The reason I write this is in defense of all of the people who have become involved with Simon Stepsy in "My advertising Pays" such statements as its a scam or a ponzi scheme is taking the piss (I say it as it is) out of our intelligence. All the people that he is involved with are not that naive to become involved in scams. A huge majority have made fortunes with Simon Stepsy at the helm. They are certainly not that stupid every individual has considered this. People making money in maps are go getters for sure. Re cap here false accusations made is a definition of a crime. If you are sure that Simon Stepys is scamming report him if you dare? The court cost could be staggering for you when you loose, Simon on the other hand gets up in the morning goes to work to help others. I fear not that he could if wanted engage the Rumpole of the Bailey to defend such a case.
ReplyDeleteSimon isn't a promotional speaker, he's a serial scammer. Every programme he has ever been involved with is suspect or a proven PONZI. And as for reporting him, LOTS of us have. This is the reason why he has to delete all the screenshot earnings and has 'accidentally' put his Facebook page to secret. The only people who defend him are the idiots who think that scams are ok as long as they make money.
ReplyDeleteIf a butcher or baker or candle stick maker displays their wares in their shop windows, in the high street and a trouble maker comes displays a message on the window that is detrimental. What would the shop keepers do? He would take it down of course. Same as Face book, these shop windows must be protected from individuals who think they are helping but in fact are depriving the poor an opportunity. Why are these people doing this. The great thing is he can put his money where his mouth is..

ReplyDeletepiss of MR Tara you utter bellend
ReplyDeleteInteresting how Mr Stepsys never jumps in to defend himself on these forums. No smoke without fire in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteHe claims he's an entrepreneur yet all he is is a shyster who has a load of big talk and some expensive toys earned off the back of other people's money. Another thing worth asking yourselves ~ if he earns what he claims he earns how come this isn't evident via companies house? Also ~ I've seen where this idiot lives ~ it's not exactly consistent with someone who claims to be a multimillionaire. He's just a plain outright bullshitter and if you dots who defend him had even half a braincell it would die of loneliness.
I liked it when he was promoting Banners Broker to the world and making videos of how he was one of the top affiliates etc. Let me just check the Banners Broker website to see how things are going?
ReplyDeleteOh dear i found this http://dm.epiq11.com/BBB/Project#

Please complete a proof of debt form and return it to David Rubin & Partners’ London, Holborn office, together with supporting documentation. The full address for David Rubin & Partners office is as follows:

maps is the biggest scam out there when you see leaders talking about there stupid life and see them showing there income its all bollocks.
DeleteI see this black guy do not now his name but talks so much shit and says his brings in over 240k a month the reason behind this scam is they are given a secret to help them build this empire for themselves and they do not care if you are dimond or whatever they call it the real people don't see the struggle others are in .
