I was introduced to More Than Traffic (MTT)
in March 2006. They claimed to be able to make me $100,000 PROFIT in four months by generating a flood of traffic to my chose web site(s).
Being skeptical of their claim meant that I KNEW they couldn't deliver on their promises even before I joined. However, I took a risk that they would be able to deliver at least "some" of the visitors they promised, so I signed up several sites at a cost of $629.00
I emailed a number of queries to the company basically asking how they could track sales and whether I would be expected to make changes to my sites. After one chasing email I did get a long, if not rather convoluted answer. The system,
they claimed, worked on the basis that they could track traffic to the site (of
course very easy to do) and then they plug these figures into their system and
get a number of the amount of sales this should have generated - but not
necessarily actually has. ... Hmmm - interesting!
I never recommend any program to other people until I have tested it myself so I waited until the end of April before mentioning it to my subscribers (at that time, I was starting to get traffic through to my sites,
as promised)
Many flags were waved about this program, but I stuck solidly to THE FACTS... I
stated that I was getting traffic (nowhere near as much as they claimed I would, but then I'd have to be completely brain-dead to have believed their original claims!) BUT
that I had not received any affiliate commission. In fact, on all the forum posts that I
wrote, I made it very clear that I was suspicious that people would NOT get paid commission by these people.
So it comes as no surprise when I tell you that I never received a single cent in commission from them (nor did anybody else I know who was promoting them). It didn't hurt me too much because I only ever mentioned MTT to my subscribers on one occasion.
So who's behind MTT?
The guy goes under the name of Simon Baxter (pseudonym for Simon Stepsys)
and he keeps well in the shadows... as well he might!
His company is "located" at:
MoreThanTraffic.com
Temple House,
221-225 Station Road,
Harrow, HA1 2TH
U.K.
Which is a nothing more than a mail drop. From there, mail seems to be redirected to
7 Churchyard
Ashford
Kent, TN23 1QG
U.k.
And MTT isn't the only scam that our friend Simon Stepsys alias Simon Baxter is involved in. Here's an excerpt from their payment request
from MTT...
Please transfer to:
Bank Account Name: More Than Traffic

1. Please ensure to instruct your bank to pay all transfer charges.

Please email us with PAID BY BANK in subject and we will release your

payment does not arrive in the bank in 7 days.
Thanks
MTT
And here's the interesting bit... when you search Google for that IBAN
code,
"GB27GIRB72000002906449" you can see that it's the same IBAN bank account
number as Red Hot Digital aka MONOPILIZER.COM (Monopolizer guaranteed to find you a certain number of customers and also affiliates for your business...
naturally, it was also a scam!!)
As I write this, MTT are using the typical smoke and mirrors tactics that scam artists employ...
"The servers are down"
"The servers have been moved"
"The database has to be re-constructed" so
"Please don't overwhelm us with your support requests, we are working diligently towards fixing your problem".
(they can - supposedly - be contacted at ast@morethantraffic.net or
cst@morethantraffic.net ... but
don't rely on it.)
Currently, Simon Stepsys (Baxter) is living at
96, Welsh Row,
Nantwich,
Cheshire CW5 5ET
U.K.
... and is promoting a new scam... www.amazing2ndincome.com
 If you were scammed by Baxter/Stepsys at MTT, the phone number for the
Harrow Police Dept. is: +44 (0)20 8733 3441. The contact person for fraudulent activity is Sgt. Paul on the Crime Desk
Be my guest!!

Graham,
You have made a very serious error, are totally mistaken & have got ALL your facts wrong.
I have nothing at all to do with the MTT or monopolizer & never have, & I have no idea who Simon Baxter is either!
You are liable & I will be taking legal action against you & or anybody that publishes such false & inaccurate information about me & my family & demand that before you launch your web site that you take that FALSE, untrue & inaccurate information about me off your web site immediately.
Simon Stepsys
Hmmm.... see you in court, buddy!
