Basta was a Flemish television show that aired in January and February 2011 on the Belgian channel Eén.

Although Basta performed successfully, a second season was not produced, as Neveneffecten thought their approach would no longer work due to potential targets being aware of the program.

Basta contacted all those banks and requested if they could recharge their money, which was estimated at 250 euros for each Belgian inhabitant.

No bank did pay them, so Basta decided to take another approach: they stole staplers, hole punchers etc.

As they were a bank, they also requested the Belgian government to give 20 billion euros to save the company.

Basta succeeded partially as some of their fake news items were indeed published by several media, but they were unmasked.

There are long wait times, repetitive questions, unwanted inquiries, different menus and submenus, calls just hung up by the agent, many transfers.

Basta placed a container in front of the main entrance of Mobistar Evere and painted a telephone number on it.

Some Belgian television channels had viewer phone call games where a caller could win money awards.

The live submissions already proved there was some kind of cheating: the words to find were unknown by general public, math questions could not be solved with traditional mathematics, in case the callers could give some correct answers the question was changed, envelopes which contained the solution were quickly replaced.

Maxime got the job and was a host for about 4 months where he used hidden cameras to record conversations with the management.

SABAM got permission of the Belgian law to charge money when someone organizes an event where authorized music, plays, ... is used.
