My Journey From Unemployed And Broke To Self-employed Entrepreneur! by zumbigbo(m): 6:32am On Dec 20, 2015
May 2015

I lost my job in a finance department of a car dealership in May. I was given four weeks notice.

In June - I began looking for work, checking the internet for job vacancies, doing phone interviews etc... Ex-employers gave me three months pay as a small settlement. It helped me pay rent and pay for essentials. Ate twice a day to reduce outgoings and began teaching children maths and english part-time.

In August, an ex-colleague contacted me and suggested that I try an online business that he has been getting into. I was reluctant as I was a little down and did not want to waste any remaining money that I had in a business that I was unsure about. He pressed me and said that he will give me $50 dollars to start the business and I can then take it from there.

I then spoke with my family and friends and they suggested I should give it a try. He came to my home and after playing FIFA for an hour, he then opened an account for me on Traffic Monsoon. He bought a pack for 50 dollars, and I then bought another nine for 450 dollars. I looked at my account and it had £0.00 and he said that it is the last time that there will be no money in my account.

We then ate a little food and went back into my account after another 3 hours playing FIFA and watching a movie and I already had made nearly $4 dollars. I was surprised and excited that I could earn money so easily.

He said that I needed to check the website every day, so I went bed and set my alarm for 0700hrs.

In the morning, I checked the account and had made another ten dollars overnight.

No problem, Mr Sparrow.

I will add you and speak with you by phone/Watsapp.

...on with my journey...

...I continued checking my account every day, (spending ten minutes to watch ten ads), over the next five days, I made $50 dollars. I then bought another pack, worth $50 dollars each.

I now had 11 packs, now making me $11 per day...

After five days....I made another $55 dollars...I bought another pack.

After another five days (bought another pack - 12 packs in total), I called my uncle around and showed him, how I was making money. Having seen how it had been working over the past couple of weeks, I decided to get serious and invest more money.

I then bought another twenty packs for $1,000 - so I now had 32 packs in total. I was now able to make $32 dollars per day and buy a pack every two days.

I just read about this site, and I discovered the biggest ponsi scheme of all time. Come let us reason together my people.

If u buy ad pack @ $50 it takes you 55day to earn $55. Based on what I read so far. Which mean it will take u 55 days to earn $5 that is it will take you 550days to earn $50 . Is any sense in that kind of investment? Which mean if you invest $1000 then it will take 55 days to earn $100. Then in 550 days you will earn $1000 on your $1000 invstement.

All this is based on the assumption that site will remain.

My question: What is the business nature of thia website.

I read that the owner had another site which has been paying since 2013 but it running at lost and he is using the profit from here to pay the investors of the other site.

Am watching in 3D.

Every scheme has its detractors and fans, no problem. We live in the information age, where we should all do due diligence. I did the same, checked out the history and past of Mr. Scoville. It's all online, nothing is hidden. Yet, I made the move in and have made money.

As humans we have to be cautious, yet at the same time, we have to take risks to move forward. I see it as a bit like driving a car. Some wisely use it to get from A to B, others use it as a short-cut to the mortuary. It is your choice. I am using my profits from Traffic Monsoon and have bought farming land in Ivory Coast. It has been a great journey.

If anyone decides to join, I will support them.

If anyone decides not to, I will support them also.

All the best entrepreneurs - 2016 is our year.

I currently have 152 packs, which make me $152 dollars daily. I have uploaded a photo of my earnings page as proof of earnings.

If you would also like to start making $ while you sleep this year, get in touch.


Blessings.

How is this a business or make you self employed. This is a ponsi scheme and you will lose your money if you don't exit now.
All earning scheme must have fundamentals. What are yours here? The pyramid will soon collapse if for any reason cash isn't flowing enough to cover the holes already dugged. Rivers of cry abound in Nigeria on these type of fr.ud

SkydaDGreat:
Bro have you withdrawn the money to your bank account? That's the most important to me.

Bros, I have withdrawn my initial investment money and taken out double that on top. would any sane person stay in a scheme if they are unable to withdraw money instantly. Right now, with the way the naira is tumbling, earning money by the hour in dollars is a good look. The only issue is that your bank account must link to a Paypal, Payza or Solid Trust Pay so you can withdraw money instantly.

If you do not have money to invest, you can still join for FREE and make money by clicking on a certain amount of links per day - this is with no investment. I have a student in Kano doing that now and he makes $5 dollars per day for twenty minutes work. I will show you how. That's right - FREE.

As for the detractors and those screaming a Ponzi scheme, if it was illegal why has the US owner (Charles Scoville) not been arrested and charged immediately as it is illegal to run a pyramid scheme in the US. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme)

Blessings

Been thru this type before, it works as an adS company but it only stays alive as long as the owner invests the money you pay in some other lucrative venture. Collect as much as can then and run when it gets sour.
Re: My Journey From Unemployed And Broke To Self-employed Entrepreneur! by Nobody: 7:34pm On Jan 09, 2016
zumigbo if you say the reason why it is not a ponzi scheme is because the owner has not been arrested then you are being funny. Your interest now is your money and I would advise to please withdraw all your money safely to your nigerian account atleast you wont collapse when the biz goes under. There is a difference between scam and a ponzi scheme.

So true, i had to read the post twice again and found out it was nothing but a Ponzi scheme.

And the defence put up by Zumigo is lame
