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…
Not much the FBI can do if GPP isn’t located in the USA. Chances are the money is gone whether they go to jail or not. The lesson is to never risk more than you can afford to lose. I’m out $40, nothing to cry about.

Make your reports and complaints to the FBI,
they alone can help us find these thieves GPP.
If you live in the U.S. go to the FBI offices and make their complaints.

Sorry, but do not see what there is to “Cheer” about or “Thank” GPP for, unless you appreciate having them steal your money.

Find these fraudsters and let me know what jail they are in. justice will prevail
Comment by ROD – December 16, 2009 @ 7:29 pm
What about the personal details they stole from us? Lets hope the F.B.I get the bastards/bitches.
Comment by ROD – December 16, 2009 @ 7:23 pm
Well it very much looks like the GPP website has performed it’s final disappearing trick!
GPP continued to look frail and insecure throughout 2009 with a torturous lingering death. Thank you GPP!
GPP had a mechanism that we had faith in.
GPP has caused a crescendo of pain and suffering and turned dreams into nightmares.
If you are playing a final prank on us…..
THANK YOU AND CHEERS GPP!!!

Maybe gone for good this time, but I doubt it. They usually come back again sooner or later.

Hi all
Thank you all members for your support. I’m back from the dead and now live like a queen in my big mansion and my luxurious yacht. We are now gone for good but my neighbors will be starting their own RPP’s so don’t worry and prepare your e-money to send !!

I believe GPP will die a natural death and Members will soon enough forget about the whole matter.

I would not put much emphasis on the domain registration expiring in a few days. Most hosts allow 30-60 days to renew the domain name before it is taken down completely.
If they think they can bleed this a little while longer, they will renew the domain name and website will continue. If not, they won’t. My guess is they will renew due to the low cost compared to the number of people still being gullible to buy more policies that do not exist. What is sad is they prey on people’s fears and desperation.
At least people have been warned this is a scam, and not to buy more policies.

Quote from Bill cosby:
“A word to the wise ain’t necessary, it’s the stupid ones who need the advice.”
Suits very well for for GPP believers…
Comment by Rokka – December 11, 2009 @ 2:20 pm
I have not put very much money into this so i can live without a payout,but that dosen’t mean that i don’t hope.
Wich means that i still beleve and hope. If this should be a scam so offcause the people of GPP must shake bars for ever but lets not go ahead in time.
excuse my englisch
Comment by Andy – December 11, 2009 @ 10:12 am
Sorry Andy, your post does make me laugh.
Can you REALLY see this paying out? After 2008 and 2009 both being declared the year of the payout by Stella?
It won’t happen, keep waiting,
Comment by random passer by – December 11, 2009 @ 8:50 am
Andy,
What, GPP will only pay believers? Everyone will be paid or not, belief has nothing to do with it.
Comment by sleeper – December 10, 2009 @ 7:58 pm
Hello
within a few days the globalpp.tv domain expires on December 17 and may not
we will see, GPP disappear forever.
Or put more excuses and messages and continue to raise money by selling more and more policies and NO PAYMENTS
If you feel or think they have been scammed by GPP can send their complaints to
FBI, maybe they help the servers not continue to be accomplices of GPP and once this is over.
For your complaints can write to this address FBI
http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
read follow the steps.
, Talk with friends, family, friends and members of GPP
Should be linked to a possible closure of GPP, and never appears.
and so far the goal of GPP aha NOT fulfilled, ie no payment.

Let’s just see who gets to laugh last the belivers or the stupid
people…..

The whole GPP-bs just gets funnier here in Finland:
http://translate.google.fi/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=fi&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsanomat24.fi%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26task%3Dview%26id%3D12999%26Itemid%3D154&sl=fi&tl=en
Seems like some members of GPP here in Finland just can’t seem to get in touch with reality.
These suckers are taken for a ride once again: First it was GPP, and
now it’s this registered association that call themselves “European Central Association for Legal Protection”. Fancy name, I must agree.
They’re saying that they’re promoting GPP members legal rights, but my guess is that they just want to collect some members fee (65€) from GPP members. I guess they were looking to find a bunch of stupid people to fall for their crap, and who would fit better than some idiot that paid 20€ for pension insurance and now is waiting for a 55000€ payout…
