    Review: Banners Broker

    Banners Broker is one of those Biz Opps that sounds like the ultimate golden goose. I mean it used to be that everything you read about this service screamed its praises.

    A US company called Global Rewards is trying to spread the word about “healthy chocolate” using a classic multi-level marketing technique. I’ve had a look into this.
