JSS Tripler Scam?

This is my completely unbiased review of JSS Tripler. I'm not trying to promote any other program, or hook you into giving me your email address, or any other scam. Consider this a public service announcement, and it's not pretty.

What is JSS-Tripler? JSS Tripler is a “product” you become enrolled in automatically when you join JustBeenPaid.

These are the steps outlined to use the JSS Tripler when you enroll in JustBeenPaid. Each step is broken out in video format, and presented on the JustBeenPaid.com website.

These JustBeenPaid videos are public, and available without logging in.

JustBeenPaid Video Tutorial Series: (Subtitle: Cheesy music to make you feel like you're having a great time while your kids college tuition is being blown on a South African money game ).

Step 1:

The video is displayed without a voice over, just cheesy 70s music that makes me expect a plumber or pizza delivery guy with a fireman's moustache to jump out when a girl answers the doorbell in a wet towel. Not that I’ve ever actually seen anything like that.

The first video tells you how to claim your free $10.00 and start earning and shows you how to buy JSS Tripler positions

You have 10.00 credit from the “Pay It Forward” system.

First Red Flag:

When the video itself points out that you are paying for positions, not a product, it's a significant red flag.

But refer back to the terms and conditions, which say that the first rule of JustBeenPaid is don't talk about JustBeenPaid. The second rule of JustBeenPaid is...well, you know the drill.

Step 2 Update your profile ( they suggest Gmail, it a “almost always works” with their system )

In this video, they show you how you can view your JSS-Tripler account balance, which should already show 20 cents – they claim the account will earn 2% daily for 75 days, giving you a 150% return…

( Didn’t Wall Street think the same thing about subprime Bundled Mortgage Securities? That worked out well too ).

Step 3: This video suggests you upgrade to Level 1 any time within your first 74 days using your daily JSS-Tripler earnings.

Wait a second. I haven’t invested anything. I have a free position. I’ve made 20 cents and I can use that to upgrade? This sounds too good to be true…

And if I upgrade I get access to The Big Success Breakthrough? Where I can earn $60 JSS Matrix rebates and more? ( Again, emphasis theirs, not mine ). What is this JSS Matrix they speak of! I can barely contain my excitement. I am like a kid on Christmas morning as I move on to the video for

Step 4: How to Set Up Payment Processing

The music for this video sounds like I just departed the jungle cruise on an African safari and am being chased by a pack of wild hyenas.

The video gives me the options for setting up all payment options accepted by JBP:

AlertPay, Liberty Reserve, PerfectMoney, SolidTrustPay.

What? No PayPal? Yeah, that’s probably because their terms and conditions prohibit this kind of business scheme.

After you create your account with one if these <sarc on>well known and reliable payment processors you then submit your username into the JPB back office form and confirm it via email.

Step 5: How to Fund your Main JSS Account

Wait. I thought I got a free 10.00 to pay it forward, and was earning 2% a day that I can reinvest.

Side note: JSS is short for Just Been Paid “Synergy Surf”

The video suggests you start with a deposit of $100.00 into your processing account.

Step 6: How to transfer funds from JSS to JSS Trippler and then purchase JSS Tripler Positions

Don’t I already have a JSS Tripler position? I thought I just got one for free when I used my Pay It Forward dollars.

The music in this video sounds like I just stumbled blindly into a rave without the benefit of any mind altering substances so I immediately recognize how badly the music sucks. Where the hell are my glo-sticks?

And since my mind is so clear, I also notice just how shabby the website graphics and text and presentation are on this site. If there was an Internet in the 70s, that’s when it would’ve been designed.

The video shows me how to move funds between my JBP accounts. Looks like the website also uses 1970’s math processors. No one has figured out how to round numbers? Do we really need “dollars” computed out to the 12^th decimal? Could I have a trillionth of a penny please to round this up to $31.91?

The video instructs you to buy new positions with your newly deposited funds. $10 for each position. ( Damn, nothing for those trillionth’s of a penny? )

I can’t make this up. At this point in the video now has lyrics that say “Strange but true, I can not get enough”.  I Shazamed the song with my phone and it’s actually titled “Chase ( V-Sag Remix)” By “Expert Medicine”. Rushing right to iTunes to download that one.

Uh Oh. Here's that Red Flag again: 

Note the highlighting in this image (Theirs, not mine ). “PAYMENT FOR NEW POSITION”.  The #1 no-no any attorney or compliance officer of any MLM will tell you NOT TO DO. Never, ever, ever admit that you are selling positions, not a product. Epic Fail JBP.  Unless your goal is to have the FTC ( or the equivalent in South Africa, where this scheme claims to be headquartered ) freeze your accounts and send you off to the graybar hotel.

Step 7: Compound JSS-Tripler Earnings and See Future Earnings with The JSS-Tripler Calculator

New video, new music. I definitely feel transported back to the 70s. Wonder if Artist Jody Wisternoff knows Just Been Paid has Bundied the title “Lassoo” for the song's promotional use…

Somehow, based on the video, I now have 27.80 in my account due to “Compounding”. With 4 positions, including the three I purchased, and the free one paid forward, that should take about 34 days. Now the video suggests I use that money to buy two more positions.

According to the JSS-Tripler calculator, if I don’t enable compounding, my initial fund of $100 will become $120 in 60 days.  Somehow that’s also reflected as a $50 net profit. Huh? I invest $100. I end up with $120 and yet my net profit is $50?

If I do enable compounding my earnings magically become $217.60.

JBP reminds me the compounding will be the same if I use larger amounts. They suggest I try the compounding calculator using numbers like $1000 or $5000 as my initial deposit...right. Let me just take out a second mortgage on my house so I have enough cash to really do this right...

I’m wondering where all this profit is really coming from, since all I can see is that I’ve bought a few positions, but I don’t seem to have sold anything.

Step 8: How to Transfer Funds from JSS-Tripler to JSS and Withdraw Funds

The sound track makes me want to load up my pockets with tokens and find an arcade so I can play Dance Dance Revolution.  True story: Music is by the artist Faskil, title: “It Puts Me to Sleep”. Frankly, so do these videos.

This video shows me how I can transfer my profits back to my main JustBeenPaid account, and from there, back to my AlertPay or ScamPay or whatever random processor I’m using.

I'm starting to realize these videos are structured for idiots. 5 minutes to demonstrate how to point, click, fill a form field, submit, repeat.

Step 9: How to withdraw funds from your payment processor to your bank.

I seriously think I’m developing an aneurysm at this point. Cheery soundrack by Pryda.

Another five minutes to explain how to transfer money from AlertPay back to your bank account.

Again, where the hell are these ‘profits’ coming from?

Step 10: How to Access Your Free Gift “Upgrade Your Brain”

Seriously. This is the title of step 10. All JBP members get free access to “Upgrade Your Brain”. Which may be useful if you actually deposited money in what is clearly failing the sniff test and looks more and more like a Gifting / Ponzi scheme.

Really? “The Stuckistic Breakthrough?”.  More like the “Sucktastic Breakthrough”

Step 11: How to Upgrade / Renew to Level 1 Status

Four minutes of more mind numbing brain-downgrade music and a video telling me why I should pay $15 to upgrade and renew, apparently resetting the clock on my JSS Tripler so I can continue to earn 2% from sources unknown on my ‘positions’.

Nowhere in these videos is there a mention of any product other than the positions I purchased.

Nowhere does it say exactly where this 2% is coming from, so I must assume it’s from other people ‘below me’ who are signing up and depositings funds.

The program just states that each active position will earn 2% a day. The emphasis is always on “earn”. Not accrued interest, not profits from unknown products being sold, just 2% earned daily for 74 days on each active position.

How this is done is a mystery. Well, really, not so much a mystery as a Ponzi.

JBP also proudly reminds me I can buy up to 250 positions every 60 minutes, up to 500 a day. $5000 dollars a day on ‘positions?’ Sorry kids, forget about food, hot water, and lights this month. Daddy's rollin' the dice with JustBeenPaid.

My opinion on this whole "business opportunity?"

If you are the kind of person that goes to gifting parties and hopes you get back your cash after other people join after you, this may be the program for you.

If you think Charles Pietro Giovanni Guglielmo Tebaldo Ponzi created the most fabulous business model known to man, this may be the program for you.

If you are in dire need of "A Brain Upgrade", this may be the program for you.

I need to point out that this is just my opinion. I have been evaluating MLM companies, comp plans and products for over a decade. My track record speaks for itself.

Looking forward to any counterpoints, objections or outright flaws in my review of JSS Tripler.

Hilarous post.

I doubt the licensed any music used in the making of their videos. I messaged artist Jody Wisternoff on Facebook to ask.

I don't know what could be done anyway I do not think anyone will be able to find the company or JSS Tripler scam assets for very long.

The company is one of the most clear cut illegal internet scams. Your review is on target.

It would be the supreme irony of what triggered this company's downfall was a copyright complaint.

Hey all, stumbled across this forum/article in my research and came here to post that I agree. I think Just Been Paid and JSS-Tripler are SCAMS. I wrote a fairly in-depth review of the program as well. It's over 1,100 words so probably not best to post it in full (being that the OP is already pretty lengthy) so here is a link to my website I posted it on: http://penguinrungames.com/jbpreview.php

It would be the supreme irony of what triggered this company's downfall was a copyright complaint.

I heard back from the artist Jody Wisternoff on Facebook. She said she was unaware her music was being used by JSS Tripler in their videos. I tried to watch them but haven't got watchdogs patience for junk videos.

These type of programs really just piss me off.

So many people mis-represent them and how they 'earn'.  There are outright lies and ignoring the laws.

These programs AND THE PEOPLE WHO REPRESENT THEM hurt our entire industry, feeding into those believers that 'all MLM is a scam".

It's embarrassing and shameful.
