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…
The Answers are:
1.) World Peace
2.) Osama bin Ladin will announce his secret location and all his men
3.) Jimmy Hoffa will be found - alive
4.) I will go shopping with President Barack Obama and George Michael for a little pink pony with green and purple polka dots, that I will name Chuck. And then will sit around a camp fire toasting marshmellows and singing Wham UK’s greatest hits.
The Question is:
What are all of the things that will happen before GPP will ever pay out?
So Im a little bored today, sue me. But is it not true though?!
Ok, you may continue with the back and forth….

Ubbe’s got jokes! Thats a good one…(nudge-nudge, wink-wink…)

This notion that the debit cards are on their way is a joke. Before this last missive they clearly stated they had to sell all the remaining policies before there would be any payout. In regard to this last missive, the KEY word is MARKETING. This means they will put the big push on to sell the reamining policies, expect a fire sale, and then they will get out of Dodge before the authorities come a calling. Payout, only in your dreams.

God, I just wish it would end. Every time you think they’re dead, they rise again. It’s like a bad horror movie. The Program That Wouldn’t Die….LOL!
Comment by sleeper – December 26, 2009 @ 5:41 am
Oh REALLY! The “backoffice” huh? funny.
I “apology” (ha-ha) for the not believing a word they say.
Rest up believers, a whole new year of making money for GPP and no one else, SELL, SELL, SELL…
Honestly. Too much.
It just makes me giggle a little, oh well.
Cheers and Happy New Year!

LOL
Thought they would be back- 2010 the big year … again.
How can they make more money out of us?
Comment by random passer by – December 25, 2009 @ 11:24 pm
The e-mail from GPP is a bull…. GPP NEVER send out e-mails and put their info only on their own website.

They’re back! Here’s the email I got:
Fri Dec 25 2009
Dear GPP Members,
First of all, please let me take this opportunity to thank you for the year 2009. We have done some wonderful progress this year! The year 2010 is going to be the year of our great success!
I also want to wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season!
Our website is under a severe attack at the moment, that’s why it has been offline for a moment. We are working on a solution to get it back online as soon as possible. So don’t worry! Have a little break now, so that you have spare energy for marketing once the site is up and running again. We will let you know via email immediately as the backoffice is available. We apology for the inconvenience!
Sincerely,
The whole GPP team

Marco: I was warning others who would not see or understand you were being sarcastic. Sometimes sarcasm does not translate in a post. I know, I have made many that were not deemed my being sarcastic.
I appreciate your nice compliment, and the same to you. Sorry I did not make myself clearer in my post in reply to yours. See how easy it is to be misinterpreted? I do want to wish all here who celebtate it a very Merry Christmas, and a very prosperous New Year.

I LIKE YOU EAGLEONE I REALLY DO, YOU SPEAK SOME GOOD SENCE “BUT” YOU MUST LEARN TO READ POSTS THAT CONTAIN SARCASM (mockery,jeering,sneering,satirical,scoffing etc)
merry xmas one and all
Comment by MARCO – December 24, 2009 @ 10:39 am
Let’s see Marco, this is being touted by Warren English who has yet to have a paying program at any time. Sure sounds like a winner to me. When will you people learn, all HYIP’s are scams. The few that are legal do not advertise on forums that contain nothing but scam programs. While it may be paying now, it won’t be for much longer. Yeah, only $10, but once you get there it will soon be $100 or more, and then it goes bust before you get your money out. If this one lasts past January it will be a miracle.
But hey, it is your money. At least you have been warned. Anything that Warren English promotes I would run as far and as fast as I could away from it.

If It Walks Like A Duck: Great comment, and so true. Merry Christmas to all of you, and to a Happy New Year.

Happy Holidays everyone!
Dont let your dashed dreams ruin your holidays. Embrace your family and friends, and enjoy the time you spend with them.
Nothing anyone can do about being scammed internationally, be thankful it was a small amount of money ( I know, its not the dollar amount, its the principal of the whole thing, dont preach to the choir.), and be thankful that you are not one of those horrible people running GPP.
They may have lost their humanity, but we havent.

The Agents, Collectors of policy money, must know where they sent it,
ie which bank account, from that Banks will help trace them if it is what it looks like, a scam
