I’ve recently received several emails about this one. It’s called the “Global Pension Plan” and promises to help you turn €30 into €55,000 or more!
I got the following email and decided to look into it:
“Hi Ben
Could you be kind enough to look into this opportunity for me, what’s your opinon on this one, sounds too good to be true!….has it got scam written all over it? it was passed on to me by friend.
thanks for your time
Phil”
Well, I had a good look at the site and tried to find out who is behind it and what is going on.
Rather than take up space here, please visit the main site:
Global Pension Plan - Is it a Scam?
Once you’ve read the report there, please feel free to comment on this blog or send me an email to the usual address.
Thanks,
Ben

*UPDATE 13/11/2008* - I’ve had a few problems with the blog over the past 24 hours which resulted in a restore from backup. Consequently you may find some rogue symbols dotted around the place - especially where there used to be a € or £ sign. Apologies for this but there are far too many for me to correct!
*UPDATE 22/12/2008* - Just for fun: The Global Pension Plan - Stella’s Updates
*UPDATE 16/06/2009* - Now that Stella is gone or dead or whatever - she’s not writing the updates in any case - let’s just remind ourselves of when the final date for GPP is (from the official site):
“20th of November, 2008
Deadline & General updateThe Final Deadline: 31st of January 2009
During the last week and half we have been closely in touch with the insurance company and the financier of this project and agreed the final deadline to be set on the above mentioned date. The current turbulent financial climate has created a great pressure to finish the program as soon as possible. This date is absolute and means, that we MUST reach the initially set target of 100.000 qualified members. Otherwise the program closes without payout.”
Note that Stella said “this date is absolute” so it was surprising when the new ‘admin’ posted this:
“10th of May, 2009
UpdateDear Global Pension Plan Members,
As per Trust Partner’s decision, we hereby announce the final closing date of Global Pension Plan: 06/30/2009 That is the 30th of June 2009.
The current number of fully qualified members is only slightly short of the 100.000 limit.
Trust Partner highly appreaciates your efforts and sends you best wishes and luck for the last month and a half.
Sincerely,
Admin”
*UPDATE 26/10/2009* - Apologies for the problems with the blog over the weekend. A new plugin caused the issues. All should be back to normal now…
Thanks Eagle - I knew it was a scam but had no idea how it ‘worked’ - hmmm. Maybe Terry feels he has lost too much money so is copying GPP method of making money- taking it off the public.

Terry has decided he wants to go from being the scammee to the scammer, so he is trying to do his own GPP format. He is using the QCoopers formula, but they wouldn’t work with him. So he bought his own script to use from the way it appears. Terry really feels that if you do this in 10,000 members, they will pay. Anyone who believes they will only have to spend $90 to get $90,000 is just as delusional as those who joined GPP. Goes to show you how desperate people are now they will fall for anything.
Terry has yet to promote any program that has not been a scam, so why should he stop now? Only this time he is the one running it. Went from a small-time crook to a big-time crook. Wouldn’t it be funny if his admin turned out to be Stella, back from the dead or almost dying?

The website isn’t even up and running for the last 2 months!

has anyone heard of, or know anything about, the them-co co-operative? A new ‘investment opportunity’ from Terry gilder… How on earth is this supposed to work?

Lol,
people were claiming ages ago that the debit cards were being sent out and to ensure everyone checks their post just in case.

I was just on a site called “Global Pension plan- they never give up”, and this guy (StringfellowUSA) tried really hard to convince people that he not only got his card, but got his money on it too.
He was very cocky and arogant,arguing with others, boasting a vacation to Hawaii.
The problem with his post is that it had the date of his post just like on this site. His post from January 2, 2010 boasted that he got his card in the mail “yesterday”. Several problems with that, 1.) Jan 1st is New Years Day, I doubt any government run anything is open anywhere around the world, and 2.) According to the GPP website, their last update was on January 8th informing us that they still need to sell 20,000 more policies!
I just thought it was funny, thought Id share that. Anyone else get paid yet? Or is Stringfellow the only one! (I called him out under the name “Funny”, just cuz I could, and I was bored.) lol

Wow, I was just researching GPP on the internet, trying anything from Global Pension Plan arrests in the USA, to GPP online scam. Anything I can think of. And I happened upon another site that talked about GPP, and it spoke so wonderfully of them waaaaaaaaay back in 2006. But just like this site it had its ya’s and nay’s.
Anyway, as I was reading a poster reminded me of the Childrens fund that GPP claimed to be a part of and then abandoned.
I would like to hear a chearleader defend that! C’mon, bring it!!!!

Faye,
IC3 is an internet scam division of the FBI. That is where you can file a complaint and they will research it, after you give them a bunch of info for what you are complaining about.
I had previously emailed them regarding GPP, and I thought they were going to respond to me with some sort of update, but they havent, and EagleOne told me that they do not give up dates to you/or the complainer personally. We would have to read about it in an article or something if someone writes about it that is.
Since I know that in Finnland there were arrests previously(according to other posters here in Bizop), I would love to know what is happening here in the USA. But I dont know how to go about researching things like that?

Comment by Faye – February 4, 2010 @ 6:20 pm
Hello
Apparently they are just rumors that the FBI and IC3 are trying to close GPP,
and more seems to be flaws in web
but I like to have some official news IC3
Does anyone have any official news about GPP IC3?
How will research IC3?

I thought IC3/FBI does not update people on what the status of their investigations are. Was there an article reporting on the subject somewhere? IF so, where?
And regarding the website, it always goes down, then it goes back up again and so forth. I dont think they have closed up shop yet. They will probably get a new website in some other name to continue selling “policies”.
Maybe thats the thing, when police/fbi or whomever are close to them, they shut down the website, and then re-open it under different information. So that the police have to start investigating all over again?
I dont know. But just give it a couple of days, they will re-emerge.
Isnt this their website address? I had this in my “favorites” on my computer, and it pulled up. But I cant access anything other than the first Update page, as I am not a member.
