Giambrone to assist clients against Profits25

Profit25 was launched in 2013, a Malta-based network project by a French/Spanish company based on revenue sharing, it has very quickly gained traction across several countries.  The project entails the purchasing of coupons (priced at around £20 each) and then offers the opportunity for return on investment (ROI) by clicking on advertising banners.  It has recently been introduced in countries such as Italy, is presented as a platform in French, Spanish and English, with the option of translation to other languages in order to gain reach across Europe and further afield.

The simplistic scheme was presented as a way to make easy money from home.   Investors could join the system through sponsorship, or by invitation from an existing user. After registration, the user is able to buy a minimum of two coupons up to a maximum of 24.  Users were then requested to click on banners featuring a call to action and allowed a minimum number of impressions per user.  Each user was expected to deliver a specific number of daily clicks depending on the coupons in their possession.  

Profits25 would thus increase inbound traffic to its website. This would then, in turn, generate a weekly profit that would then be credited on pre-paid cards, credit cards or via bank transfer to the users.   However, a number of participants to the scheme did not receive any payments. 

It would appear that Profits25 is in fact a type of Ponzi, or a pyramid scheme, where typically users are invited to lure other people, friends and family, into the system which is designed to make money for the organisers of the scheme but does not deliver to the members of the system.

Profit25 has come to the attention of The Italian National Commission for Companies and the Stock Exchange (Consob) and a warning has been issued to potential investors that both www.profits25.com and www.32options.com are banned from providing their investment services and offering products of any financial nature in Italy relating to any operation conducted via Profits25 platform.
