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

there’s some funny stuff on the site of one known GPP scammer, Matti Kärsämä. Here’s the link: http://www.financia4us.com/index.asp?action=page&name=1
For those of you, who don’t understand Finnish, here’s the translation:
“If you have ever given your password to somebody, and you haven’t changed it since, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD. Authorities most certainly know it, so they can access your account when ever.
For the same reason, when you reveice your money, you should pay taxes
for at least one policy, because your participation is known to authorities.”
This is just priceless stuff. Few questions come to mind,like where would Matti get that idea about authorities knowing peoples passwords?
Interesting indeed, the plot thickens…

Hey ‘If it Walks Like a Duck’ - I’ll give you some money! The deal is I will give you half a million if GPP ever truly pay out! ‘Course, I’m lying really, but then some mug will believe me, surely? I suspect that GPP had 100,000 people drawn in a long, long time ago - after all, this has been going on for so long now and 100,000 is really not so many people on a Worldwide basis (I reckon more like 100,000 in virually all the countries this is on offer) - all this pushing, demanding and insisting on extra policies being sold are GPP just squeezing every drop they can - you know, this may just go on to infinity? Or as someone else observed, until their site expires?
For goodness sake people - contact the media and authorities NOW - if enough people do this, action surely HAS to be taken.

Eh, Nigeria, Angola, Somalia……what ever! The research I did was many moons ago, and I dont remember all the details.
It wasnt worth continuing the research, they have it made, they cant get into trouble for taking peoples money (unless someone finds a loope hole), and all the money they have taken has made them rich.
And they are continuing to do so, because there are many more people trying to either get rich quick, or desperate enough to take a chance. They will never run out of people willing to give up their cash.
I wouldnt be at all upset if someone wants to give me some money! Anybody? Anyone?! lol
