MyAdvertisingPays just cut what investors were promised by 75 percent—and now angry affiliates are preparing lawsuits.
Last week, MyAdvertisingPays killed its US operations. The move barred new American investors from joining and froze all US-invested funds in the scheme. That left thousands of existing investors holding the bag on promises the company could no longer keep.
To soften the blow, MyAdvertisingPays offered what it called a "lump sum" settlement instead of waiting indefinitely for the advertised $60 return per investment pack. Investors soon discovered the settlement was worth only a quarter to a third of what they'd been promised.
An open letter sent to company management on October 22 laid out the math. An investor sitting on 300 packs should have received $17,100—that's 300 multiplied by the promised $60 return minus $3. Instead, MyAdvertisingPays moved them into what the letter called a "slow earning pot" at roughly 20 cents a day.
The affiliate who penned the letter didn't mince words. MyAdvertisingPays had signed contracts with investors who paid $49.99 per pack. Those contracts promised a $60 return within roughly 100 days. The company accepted the money. It agreed to the terms. Now it wanted to pay pennies on the dollar.
"Either way, that's fine. But ethically, you have to fulfill your moral obligations to them," the letter stated.
The writer acknowledged that the company made a business decision to exit America. That decision was theirs to make. New investors who bought packs within 30 days got refunded in full. No argument there.
But the 10,000-plus people who spent months recruiting others and building the business? They're getting hammered. These weren't new recruits. They were the backbone of the scheme.
The letter also contained a telling caveat: "Whether or not this was run by a lawyer I can't say, but it should be known that investors in Ponzi schemes aren't entitled to claiming advertised ROIs."
That admission cuts to the heart of what MyAdvertisingPays actually was. The company presented itself as an advertising platform where investors could earn returns. In reality, it operated like a classic pyramid scheme—profits came from recruiting new members, not from any legitimate business activity. Once the US market dried up, the whole structure collapsed.
Now MyAdvertisingPays' legal exposure is real. Thousands of furious investors say they're pursuing legal action. The company's argument—that it's no longer operating in the US and therefore owes nothing—will face serious pushback. Courts have held operators of fraudulent schemes liable for damages even after the scheme shuts down.
For the thousands of Americans who believed they'd invested in a legitimate advertising network, the math is brutal. They put in their money based on written promises. They brought in new recruits based on those same promises. And now they're watching their returns get slashed to 25 cents on the dollar while the company walks away.
