A viral video making the rounds on social media has revealed an interview with a man who identified himself as Professor Barrie, Manager of Super Advertis at Makeni City Plaza explaining the Company’s Mode of Operations.
Manager Barrie said in the Video that surfaced online that he had gone through the ranks of the company before attaining the position of being a Manager. He described the company as an Online Marketing Company serving as an Intermediary between the people and the Ecommerce- websites. He confirmed that there are many Ecommerce websites online like the Alibaba, Amazon and they as end users go to Purchase these goods.
“Super Advertis came as an intermediary to advert the goods of these Ecommerce websites by Clicking google will ranked it as search engine optimization. So Super Advertis develop a system where people will make money from their clicks.’ he said.
Responding to questions on the legality of their operations, Manager Barrie revealed that the Company has more offices in Sierra Leone adding that it is legally registered with the government of Sierra Leone. He confirmed in the said video that these are evidences to show the company is here to stay.
The newly introduced online business Company shut down its services to its customers on Tuesday 2nd January 2024 after the company said all of its funds were frozen by mobile money operator, Orange.
The company also directed its users and partners to go to Rakuten, which it stated is its other branch, to retrieve all their money. But shortly after, Rakuten denied any relationship with Super Advertis.
The development comes a few days after mobile network operator, Orange disassociated itself of any partnership with Super Advertis saying it does not have any contractual dealings or in any way associated with the business/company.
The Bank of Sierra Leone, in a public notice issued on January 5th, 2024, categorically stated that “Super Advertis” had not been granted a license to conduct any financial activity. The online-based entity was accused of enticing individuals to invest in a covert financial scheme through mobile money platforms. The Bank’s notice served as a stern warning to the public, urging them to refrain from engaging in any financial transactions with Super Advertis due to its illegal activities.
Subsequently, the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) announced on January 4th, 2024, that it was actively investigating Super Advertis for suspected unlawful activities, referring to it as a potential “Ponzi scheme.” The FIU highlighted the collaboration with mobile money service providers, including Orange Money, in restricting access to the suspected fraudsters’ accounts and cooperating with relevant authorities in ongoing investigations.

so how can we get acess to it back after the government has shut down in it. as the way u alter the last word.
This is not what we want to hear please
Is their any way we can get our money 💰 back?
Hi
Did your company registered with central bank of Sierra Leone.
People can’t just learn .
Where is professor Barrie now.
As a manager, he has something to say to the people for their money.
My only question is, is the action of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) announced on January 4th, 2024 or The Bank of Sierra Leone, in a public notice issued on January 5th, 2024 timely after Sierra Leonean has been scammed since September to December 2023? May God grant them wisdom so that the innocent Sierra Leonian can get back their money.
The whole situation here is telling us that one way or the other the institutions we solemnly believe and trust in are the ones destroying us . The platform was here in sierra leone and started full operating since September and people have been using orange money to complete their registration through the app and to start earning money, orange did not made a statement for people to stop depositing huge amounts of money in it because they where making money. Now just because that they wanted to have some surt of huge cut in it and it was not possible for them they decided to shut down the entire operation of super advertis why. And now a lot of press releases are coming out from F.I.U , Bank of sierra leone etc . Salone na really mess up country with lot of unGodly people dem na the top of bigger institutions dem way for pull we out of darkness. So look o dat mean we still get for day na dark until God intervene for we salvation dem we go see light @ d end .
If I may ask
Mr manager
Are we going to get our money back again or not????
People are crying of hunger. But they are willing to throw away $369,000 for a fake scheme. That money is gone. America say, suck it up😜😜😜
I remember one time that he says “this is a risk ” business and if you are willing to join you can but I’m not forcing anyone…. so why people are blaming him now. It’s just a job opportunity and a criteria obtain from the platform.
With God all things are possible
People are not expecting profit from them, only their money. That will be convenient!
We need to pray to GOD and stand up for our selves
ECSL and Super advertis have scammed Sierra Leonean
Professor was trying to help he never mean bad for people he also that kind of person who always wants to help young people please stop saying bad things about him
He is not a scammer super advertis was a app for business advertisement wherein you view goods of various types and earn percentage ,if things has happened this way stop blaming the gentleman he too is not happy for what happened please stop saying odd things about him
Even the journalist is not serious, we were expecting questions like how will the people get their monies back,or if super advertise is gonna resume as legal institution. And who will be held responsible Incase of any fraud but am sure big personalities are aware about this, is just that they did not get what they asked for, for their personal gain.
Why Sierra Leone
Hmmmmmm
Government is 100% aware of Super Advertis operation in Sierra Leone actually not a secret from them because 4 to 5 months this operating customers depositing and making withdrawal through mobile phone company call orange and through orange money. This is a huge collaboration between orange money company and the government of Sierra Leone to fraudulent the poor people of Sierra Leone.
Super Advertis operate openly in this country by establishing offices in key areas of the various city within the county for over 4 months. It really painful for country like Sierra Leone allowing it people to fraudulent like this as if we did not have any government platform who can adress issues like this immediately it started. 😢. God please come to our rescue let us get our money back 🙏🏼
Orange.sl really have something to say about the whole issue.. Let look at this point, Super advert said their accounts was frozen by Orange. They asked their users to checkout Rakuten while Rakuten refused by saying they don’t Partner with fraudsters…. Okay, no problem
But the past text bellow will prove that orange has some frozen account said Rakuten…
Dear Rakuten users
Since Orange suddenly froze all our Orange Money accounts, we are unable to withdraw money to our paying customers. Meanwhile, the Orange operator also blocked users in Sierra Leone from accessing the Rakuten website. As a result, many users can only access Rakuten apps using VPN, and Orange refuses Rakuten’s representations and communication! We protest against Orange’s actions! We hope that all Rakuten users can protest and condemn to Orange so that our Orange accounts can be restored as soon as possible and our business can return to normal! e

Question
1: Why Orange frozen both super advert and Rakuten account instead of super advert the fraudsters
2: Why Orange suddenly denied agreement with the super advertis and not even allow their Orange money customer to do withdrawal.
Opinion
If super advert fraudsters fraud Sierra Leonean, Orange.sl is inclusive because they failed to inform people earlier about the fraudulent activities.
And if Orange.sl didn’t have nothing to do with super advert they shouldn’t have sent press release then straight of stopped or banned everything…
I hope understand don’t mind the grammar..
Super Advertis is a complete fraud. Why do they extort money from their user, as they said they make their money via ads.
I will blame orange they have something to say on this issue we are still waiting for them to unfreeze our account let withdraw our money please
