		Dec. 16th (Friday) Some great news! Senate Rejects Extension of Patriot Act WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate on Friday rejected attempts to reauthorize several provisions of the USA Patriot Act as infringing too much on Americans' privacy and liberty, dealing a huge defeat to the Bush administration and Republican leaders. In a crucial vote early Friday, the bill's Senate supporters were not able to get the 60 votes needed to overcome a threatened filibuster by Sens. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., and Larry Craig, R-Idaho, and their allies. The final vote was 52-47. President Bush, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Republicans congressional leaders had lobbied fiercely to make most of the expiring Patriot Act provisions permanent, and add new safeguards and expiration dates to the two most controversial parts: roving wiretaps and secret warrants for books, records and other items from businesses, hospitals and organizations such as libraries. Feingold, Craig and other critics said that wasn't enough, and have called for the law to be extended in its present form so they can continue to try and add more civil liberties safeguards. But Bush, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and House Speaker Dennis Hastert have said they won't accept a short-term extension of the law. If a compromise is not reached, the 16 Patriot Act provisions expire on Dec. 31. Frist changed his vote at the last moment after seeing the critics would win. He decided to vote with the prevailing side so he could call for a new vote at any time. He immediately objected to an offer of a short term extension from Democrats, saying the House won't approve it and the president won't sign it. "We have more to fear from terrorism than we do from this Patriot Act," Frist warned. If the Patriot Act provisions expire, Republicans say they will place the blame on Democrats in next year's midterm elections. "In the war on terror, we cannot afford to be without these vital tools for a single moment," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. "The time for Democrats to stop standing in the way has come." But the Patriot Act's critics got a boost from a New York Times report saying Bush authorized the National Security Agency to monitor the international phone calls and international e-mails of hundreds - perhaps thousands - of people inside the United States. Previously, the NSA typically limited its domestic surveillance to foreign embassies and missions and obtained court orders for such investigations. "I don't want to hear again from the attorney general or anyone on this floor that this government has shown it can be trusted to use the power we give it with restraint and care," said Feingold, the only senator to vote against the Patriot Act in 2001. "It is time to have some checks and balances in this country," shouted Sen. Patrick Leahy, ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee. "We are more American for doing that." http://www.anris.biz/index.cgi?refer=tozyer Am still researching this one and that’s not my URL. I strongly suspect that this one is not real, meaning that folks running this are not who they say they are. I’ve sent a couple of requests to the Vancouver Board of Trade to see if this Adkins fellow (Albert G. Adkins) is actually a member. If he turns out not to be then I will call this one a scam. They claim to be two experts in the ForEx and other Markets and are now offering their services to us at 1.8% ROI daily. Again, if they were that good they would have been quickly employed by some large Firm in this area and they would be earning millions a year in commissions. So I question their motives. Here you go, am almost 100% certain this one is a scam! I checked with the Vancouver Board of Trade and they do not have Mr. Adkins as a member! Fortunately some of us can get to the bottom of some things, right? And I guess that many scammers count on the fact that there are very few folks out there that are willing to spend the time to track down certain claims. “Dear JS, I cannot find anyone by that name as a member of The Board of Trade. Best, Nicole Brechert Account Executive :: The Vancouver Board of Trade :: (Phone) 604-641-1268 (Fax) 604-681-0437” And looks like you can’t even sign up due to a Server misconfiguration error. For now. I would, if I were you, report them to e-gold and e-bullion. They are not who they claim to be! Dec. 15th (Thursday) I won’t hype this. I have been a Nutritionist for over 8 years. Here is one of my websites. If you have some questions for me, then go ahead and ask. Am also a Reiki I practitioner. Is the following not perfectly clear? Here is one that needs to be shut down right now: http://www.dailyinstantpay.com/invest.php From 20% per day for 30 days or more. Does not sound right. No one can give you those returns. I would stay away. Ummmm.... thanks to Bob, riverman110, I think.... for this poop: http://www.poopreport.com/ I don’t like this one: http://nini.platinumchoice.net/ But you are free to sign up, that’s not my link. They are into lotteries. No thanks. I have never had any luck with lotteries and likely never will. Those of you who have had this luck, maybe this opp will be good for you. Good luck! (5x7 matrix, you will need to recruit your friends, your doctors, your neighbors, and your dogs.) Here is another one that I do not believe will succeed for most folks: http://thecountryclub.us/ Here is what they say: “The Country Club is an online golf game distributed on CD and by online Downloads. You invest just $99 for five CDs and a custom website with 1,000 Game Downloads which retail for over $10,000. If you can email a game link or hand out a CD...You can make money.” and “The Country Club is the only business you can set up for less than $100, and then make a six-figure killing in less than 60 days.” Ummm... yawn. For sure. Good luck on getting folks to pay $99 per CD for a game of golf! And mind you, you pay for all that advertising. Go for it. “Your business really takes off the minute other people hear about your good fortune... and want a piece of the action themselves.” Right, so as soon as you start lying the better! And.... “Every time you find another distributor who wants to join your sales family, you refer them to the The Country Club website with your Distributor ID number. When they order their own 5-pack of CDs and Game Downloads, you collect a $33 Bronze Bonus check. Find three distributors, and you qualify for a Bronze Partner Bonus-a 'triple' bonus that suddenly boosts your take to $300!” Sure, go ahead, find these distributors. Reminds me of the Casinos. I had spent about $800 in 3 Casino sites and they promised to even advertise me! What happened? Nothing! Big fat nothing. And now this site wants you to advertise yourself. Well, if you’re good at it, go for it. Oh and.... “Just one thing With The Country Club bonus system, time is of the essence. Your triple bonus checks are time and date stamped. The sooner you earn your first triple bonus position, the sooner you qualify to roll up to the next level...and so on.” Yeah, right! Go go go! No thanks. PS: Those of you who send me this kind of stuff, keep doing it! Am not being negative on purpose. I am just giving you my opinion of such opps. Sometimes am given very good ones, like 12DailyPro.... and yes, on some of them, you have had to hit me over the head a few times. And that’s fine! Enjoy your holy days! I sincerely hope that FastMarket survives and that the Admin do not run but continue to operate what so far has been an EXCELLENT hyip. So I cross my fingers and pray that they do survive for another 6+ months! I will observe them for a couple of weeks (and try to get my interest out, so far cannot due to, ostensibly, e-gold problems) and if all goes well I will re-rank them back up to 100%. Right now am testing their Bank Wire w/d method. I find it interesting that KUM, in today’s newsletter, is complaining about a copycat of their program (http://www.direct-holdings.com/Home) when in fact KUM is a copycat of yet another program! I just got an great surprise after logging in to my e-gold account. 12DailyPro has just paid me just over $xxxx USD! As I said before, I was sure that it would happen and it did. I have no doubts about this one and am putting in the max of $6K from now on until after February, right after their convention. It is most likely I will keep putting that in even after that... as all Companies do really well after a rally/Convention. So am now even further in debt on Credit Cards! Am OK with that. Just keep paying them each month and earning a lot more in 12DP! If this keeps going I should be able to pay them all off within 6 months. Am not recommending you do this... but you know, if you find something that is working, then it is worth the risk to use that kind of money. Excellent news from the WORLDLPP program! (To see the review and sign up use the Reviews button above): “(PLEASE READ THE BELOW IN IT'S ENTIRETY - IT CONTAINS LOTS OF VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR COMPANY) Hello everyone and happy holidays to those who celebrate it. Conrad here with loads of news, and it's mostly good for a change. Let's start with Vivamin first. Please take some time and look over the new and improved Vivamin website at http://vivamin.com . As you can see, we have Prevenaflu up there as it should be available soon. You can place orders for it now if you wish though. We have also lowered the prices in order to establish a solid customer base. There is one piece of bad news, but it was necessary with the price drops. Commissions for any Vivamin product will now be at 30%. That is still better than just about any other affiliate program out there considering the prices we are charging. Please look it over and let me know if you spot any errors or broken links. You can all market it now as the flu product alone should generate enormous interest. And that brings me to good news #2! We have been contacted by a professional advertising company about doing television commercials for Prevenaflu. They propose to do all of the commercial set up i.e. film, dubbing, voice, and time spots in exchange for a percentage of sales. They only do this with products that they think will generate a sizable interest. It is flu season so they have tentatively indicated that they like our product. I am awaiting further word and will keep you posted. If they do proceed, this could generate thousands of sales and leads for you all. Keep your fingers crossed. And now for more good news. We have entered into one, and possibly another, joint venture which I believe will benefit some of our members. Our stake is 50% in the first program, and we have not determined what it will be in the second yet, but will keep you posted as that develops. The first program is a solid program where a lot of our "newbies" and even seasoned market veterans can learn, get numerous downloads, attend classes, earn commissions, market another gift store, etc, etc. It has it all folks! And they only charge $29.95 a month for continuous support, upgrades, classroom teaching, etc. Their commissions structure is fantastic so please be sure to check that out too. I am referring to http://www.emarketingextreme.com . They have recently changed some things and upgraded the website, and are now ready for a re-launch. I like it because it will help a lot of you learn, at your own rate, about marketing on the internet. The other program we are checking into is one where foreigners can obtain a USA checking account with a Visa card as well. We know that it can be done as we have done it ourselves - one of our staff members went through the entire process and she received everything as promised. The only "catch" is that you have to deposit at least $1,000.00 in your account in order to receive the Visacard, which is secured by the US government. Right now we are just going to check and see if the interest is out there for this venture. If you have a need for a USA checking account and Visa, no matter where you live outside of the USA (except some countries that are not accepted by the bank: North Korea, Cuba, Iraq, Iran, Libyen, Sudan, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Angola, Syrien and Burma), please indicate that by emailing us at admin@worldlpp.com and putting the words "Checking/visa" in the subject line of your email. That is all you need to do and we will send you the info once available. Just a couple of other quick notes for you. Please be patient about profits as we have just begun. I am sure that you will agree that no one can generate a profit within the first few weeks of opening their doors. We will do our best and hope to have some good figures for you at the end of next month (January). Vivamin is now closed so please do not email and ask for another chance as we have already extended it beyond our initial timeframe. The IT call center is in the negotiating stages and we are working with people in India and Romania at this point. Watch for more exciting news on this, our #2 program which will soon be out. In order to participate in the 10% profit pools, you must have at least 3 people in your WLPP downline. They must be people who are located at a different address than you are, so please do not try to cheat the system. WLPP will remain open for a long time, so please continue building your downlines as we anticipate Program #2 (the IT Call Center) to be much bigger than our first program. And speaking of our first program, Vivamin also has an affiliate program for those of you who have not joined it yet. Please do so as this is your company and we all need to work together to make it a great success. That's it for now, but more will follow very shortly. G'day!! Conrad” Dec. 14th (Wednesday) What’s to say? These are depressing times. Holidays. December. Lack of negative ions in the atmosphere, causing folks to be depressed. Less sunlight for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. Have you noticed that each day is like any other? Same stuff? Same work? Same problems? Yeah. Dec. 13th (Tuesday) Wow, I just received the FastMarket newsletter, which I have never, ever, received before. Another sign I think, that they will run soon. If they wish to change my mind on this, they will send me relevant info. And look, I can or could make a lot of commissions form just supporting FastMarket and their recent letter! Thousands in fact. But I choose not to! I choose to warn you. I choose to tell you to get the hell out of there! OK? I hope, if they are legit, they will appreciate this and send info and reassurance, or not. I was wondering why this one (http://www.verolla.net/) wanted our money? Seeing as how they should be able to pull enough money from their services. Well, they are a Computer Store, and looks like they are trying to raise capital to purchase more computers. Here is what they said to my query on that: “Hello! We need more money to increase our capital assets. So, we are using your money to be on the buy of computers. Admin Verolla” Well I would say... no thanks! Why? Because the margins in selling Computers is so low that they cannot possibly give us our 5%!. Even monthly, never mind weekly! I know, I ran such a business myself when the PC first came out! And I had some nice clients! And I made some nice money! $1000 plus per sale! To such folks as former CEO of Imperial OIL (Esso/Exxon) and former CFO! But these days I can’t compete! So I have given that up. So how can these guys give us that 5% a week! They can’t. It’s lucky that I have that experience, because otherwise I would not be able to comment on this one. Right? Right. I don’t like this one at all: http://www.cashsanta.com Seems to be run by the same guys from OnlineEarningCenter and the DNS research shows that they are on the same server. The look-and-feel is the same, so I will assume they are the same. What I don’t like about it is that it is just a forced matrix and that they pay out ONLY on HOLIDAYS! No And they list the Holidays! No thanks guys. First pay me my OEC earnings, then I may consider! And I really question why they would consider launching this kind of site! It may hurt their current operation. (In fact, they planned to launch this one since Aug. 2th!) HYIPFever Admin is someone who does not learn easily: “Session 6 has ended. This is by far the worst session for most of us due to the problems arising from the E-Gold technical issues as well as the withdrawal limits imposed. Let us assure you that this will be the last time we will put limits on withdrawals after learning from this experience.” He was told about this and ignored it. He is using us/you as test rats. He ought to quit it. Which other model is he going to test now? Am serious. The guy should be shut down. Worst sessions for most of us? You mean worst session for the rest of us, don’t you Brett? Am sure it was not for you. And the problems had nothing to do with e-gold, since if folks could not withdraw then the Session could not collapse! It had everything to do with the limits he imposed. These folks (http://sierra247.com/?ref=riverman110) are closing to new membership in two days. So what? They are into Arbitrage, but it’s only 1.5% per week to 2% per week, almost half or less below that of http://kookoo.riskfreeprofit.com and riskfreepool. So I favor the latter. Here is the new FastMarket Announcement. I will comment on it in more detail shortly. But basically all looks good but am worried about the new plans they are offering. Remember the other HYIP Admins that had similar announcements before they ran with the money? SYNCinvest was one. Other than that the news is all good. So I would be careful if I were you. Think about it deeply, feel into it, or whatever it is you do. Gut feel? What am I going to do? I am going put all the money I can scrounge up into 12DailyPro! Then I will look back at FM. Besides, I can’t even w/d my principal at FM, Admin just keeps ignoring my requests. Others are in the same situation. So that’s something else to consider. They ask you not to hesitate to contact them if you have any questions or feedback. Well here is some feedback: read your damn mail! Else we will have to rename you: SlowMarket! PS: Am getting more and more certain that they are preparing to run! You know that I have been researching Swisscash.biz and SwissmutualFund.biz. Well, despite liking the site and what they say on there, it is very difficult to confirm anything on the site! For instance, they say that your funds are Guaranteed by the Swiss Mutual Fund established in 1948 by the Cheviot Family of France. Well, I can’t find anything to support that. Anything! And unless SwissMutualfund.biz will provide documentation willingly, I will have to conclude that this is an elaborate and well-run scam. But what does willingly mean? With most of these one would have to show them that one can invest not just their minimum (over a million in Swissmutualfund) but quite a bit more. And I personally don’t have that kind of cash. Do you? I will send a note to their Admin.... but for now I must say that you should stay away until I can find more info to support their claims. If any of you have such info, please send it on to me. I submitted the following e-mail to their Admin: “I may be able to bring in a large number of investors into swisscash.biz. The problem am having is: Research. I am not able to find any corroborating evidence that members' deposits are backed by SWISS MUTUAL FUND SA, in fact, I cannot find ANY info on the aforementioned Company. Can you provide documentation to the effect that there is such a fund? On the Internet? Or elsewhere? It would reassure my subsribers. Admin http://9planetreviews.com/blog.shtml John Stankiewicz js” Dec. 12th (Monday) One of our readers (William) has been tracking all of those e-mails that you keep getting about setting up an account and receive some percent of the money that will be deposited, just so that they can get that money out. You know those scams. Well here is a website from said reader that has been tracking these and some of them are amusing, some inventive, others boring and predictable. Some should make a spoof of those just to be hilarious. Here is the link: http://awaitingyoururgentreply.blogspot.com/ OK, I recently received one of those letters and reworked it. But I cannot possibly publish it here as many may misunderstand me, may be revolted, or may die. So I will not do so unless asked to send it privately. That’s it. Only those with a sense of humor need apply. You will have to answer a 100 page non-existent skill testing questionnaire. e_Gold quirks persist. Be patient when sending money or purchasing products and/or services. If you are having trouble withdrawing, for instance, from FastMarket, if those funds are commissions or interest, normally you can, but right now because of e-gold problems and their interface, you are unable, that is the most likely conclusion. I have always been able to w/d from FastMarket, if it was interest or commissions, but not principal. Although Companies like http://www.fathomproductionstudios.com may seem to be the latest and greatest thing to go with I would advise you to pause for a moment. You may be able, with the right tools, to produce some very flashy presentations, both on the web, on CD, or even some TV commercials. That's not the issue. The issues one of find-ability. If your potential customers/clients cannot find your website, for instance, then what good is your web page, what good are the tools you used? Not good at all. And why can't folks find you or your site? Because the world wide web was not designed from the start using a good and proven filing system: that which is used by Librarians. Instead, a bunch of programmers, young Turks you may call them, thought they could program, into the system, without human intervention, the correct filing of documents, be they text, audio, video, or multimedia. Unfortunately, no one has yet invented software that is intelligent enough to be able to correctly file these documents based on keywords, topic, etc.. No one. So what do we have in place? We have thousands of Search Engines, which are the gate-keepers to the World-Wide-Web. Each Search Engine uses different rules in filing documents. Each uses a different ranking strategy, and each is unable to rival your local Library in terms of find-ability! Or helping you to find what you are ACTUALLY looking for. So I would advise you not to get TOO excited about new/emerging technologies which help you to create more effective websites, web pages, web presentations, etc., until the find-ability issue is solved. He or she who solves it will become a very quick Billionaire. On the other hand, such Companies as the above, may be indeed useful to you if you already have a captive audience to draw upon (via your E-zine, your list, your subscribers to your Newsletter). Otherwise such tools are useless. Finally, it is interesting to note that the folks who make the most money are the ones who sell products and services to those who are actually looking for the Gold on the Internet. Consider that carefully. Dec. 11th (Sunday) The 3rd installment: “Inherently Love-Blissful Unity with whatever and all that presently arises is (Itself, or inherently) non-separation from whatever and all that presently arises.” Another ponzi for you: http://favorite-hyip.com from 5% to 15%+ daily! Shut down is imminent. I would not play in this one. It’s another one pushed by fairdollars.com. Fairy is airy. No substance. Here’s another serious scam: http://www.160daily.com/ From 120% to 160% daily! That’s just nuts. Who wants to lose their money there? Stay tuned for a shutdown. Here is another to shut down, one day old, http://www.green-hyip.com From 60% and higher per day for two days. Due to be shut down shortly. I would not play there either. It seems to me that a lot of these are coming out because they are simply trying to earn some Xmas money! Well no way, I will continue to look for them and try to have them shut down. Here is another one to shut down: http://1hourly.com/ from 1% hourly to 3% hourly, lifetime! Right! Sure! Criminals! This one will be shut down shortly Wow. It’s Ponzi Bonanza today! All I had to do was to check out the HYIP scams being advertised by fairydollars.com! So here’s another one: https://www.earning-hyip.com . They offer from 35% to 50% daily! Wow! Now how can that be true? Where are they getting the money? From new money being deposited of course? Now what’s that? A ponzi scheme! Please shut down now! If you don’t, you will be shut down! For those of you who were interested in SolidInvestement.com? Well, I have been reticent in listing them. Why? A gut feel that they were lying (11 Million intake, yeah, right!)! And I told you so, once or twice. And some of you kept at me to list them! And I kept refusing! Now you know why! Trust my gut feel! And here comes some proof!: “Hello, J.S. I belong Goldentalk.com forum. Somebody was nice enough to send this email to the admin of the forum. The admin then posted on the forum. You didn't like SolidInvestment anyway, but here are even more reasons to stay away. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, {Sorry for the email, I didn't want to register just for one post.} I've been tracking a major spammer (in fact, he's one of the world's largest spammers, with a Spamhaus.org ROKSO designation (see below)) and it seems he's not only doing mortgage refinancing phishing scams and fake diploma scams... he's also doing e-gold / HYIP scams. The ones I know about are: 1) the original 'Ryan Kelly Jungle Ventures' e-gold scam 2) the w-e-gold.com scam 3) the Dornstetten Deutsche e-gold scam 4) the SOLIDINVESTOR.COM scam It's all being run by Alex Polyakov, out of the Ukraine. In fact, the SOLIDINVESTMENT.COM website says that they are 'Jungle Ventures', and lists the same Belize address as was used in the original 'Ryan Kelly Jungle Ventures' scam, and in the w-e-gold.com scam. The SOLIDINVESTMENT.COM e-gold account number (#2612815) was frozen by E-GOLD.COM today, after I emailed them with evidence of the scam and they'd done their own investigation. Here is some evidence from Spamhaus.org that proves what I say: http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=221.12.161.104 http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/sbl.lasso?query=SBL35149 http://www.spamhaus.org/rokso/evide...okso_id=ROK5927 http://www.spamhaus.org/rokso/listi...Alex%20Polyakov There's plenty more evidence at the Spamhaus.org website, if you want it. A list of their currently known domains (sorted by IP address): Message-ID: <JvLlf.24351$BZ5.3944@newssvr13.news.prodigy.com> http://groups.google.com/group/news...bcb5c3e018479f4 Please inform your readers to avoid this scammer. If any of them have been burned by this scumbag, and are looking for a bit of retribution, they can Google for SpamVampire. I developed SpamVampire, and Polyakov is featured in it for spamming me. -SpamSlayer” There you go! I feel much better now for having refused to list SolidInvestment.com! And I tell you, there were more than a few of you who tried to get me to list them! And I refused non the less. Not because I did not trust you, but because I did NOT trust them! Dec. 10th (Saturday) Oh yes, I did not forget! Second installment: “To remain in a state of pleasurable oneness with whatever and all that presently arises, you must (necessarily, and always presently) Realize inherently Love-Blissful Unity with whatever and all that presently arises.” Another ponzi for you: http://www.lordoftrade.com/?ref=riverman110 Notice the title: Best Choosen. Right. Chosen, you idiots! All the ROIS are well into the ponzi range. From 3 to 6% daily! $17K taken in and $8K taken out, due to fold soon. GoldCoders HYIP script. They claim they are backed by ForEx, NasDaq, and others.. Ok, let’s check their terms of Service: here is the only statement I can find about that: “ As a private transaction, this program is exempt from the US Securities Act of 1933, the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the US Investment Company Act of 1940 and all other rules, regulations and amendments thereof. We are not FDIC insured. We are not a licensed bank or a security firm. “ Obviously they are NOT licensed to trade on the NasDaq! Probably not even ForEx. So I would not play in this one. Besides, it’s too late. They are at about 50% w/d vs deposits. I just got off the phone with a big networker. We had got onto the topic of 12Dailypro. And here is what I learned: 12DailyPro is taking in at least ..... $10 ..... MILLION (ok, let’s be ultra conservative and say.... $1 Million) per day! In just e-gold alone! Even during this Holiday Season! That is simply stupendous! And this news raises my confidence level that they will survive for months on end, maybe even years, sky high! Strange thoughts if insecurity were beginning to enter my pineal gland and then spread throughout my brain core, but now those thoughts have been chased away and dissipated into the general atmosphere! This from Admin at HYIPFever: “We have received massive feedback from members about the problems caused by the global withdrawal limit imposed on Session 6.” I told him so! Right from the start, but did he listen? Have you ever had one of those days where you don’t want to work on anything at all? Well, am having one of those. But I may write up RiskFreeProfit as I see a lot of potential in this one. Especially the passive option: let them do the Arbitrage trading for you! In any case, more on that tonight. Am holding off on publishing my review on RiskFreeProfit until I can gain more access to their RiskFreePool. So most likely tomorrow. The following ALERT was just sent out: “Hello! A real and legit opp. Ok, this one has a very large potential and as far as I can determine entirely legitimate. What do I mean by that? Not a ponzi scam or scheme. They are involved in Arbitrage trading. This is not sports betting. Betting is gambling and there is a very good chance you would lose your money in sports betting. Basically, in layman's terms, Sports Arbitrage involves the placing of orders on a sports event with one "bookie" and with another "bookie" that happens to disagree with the first one! So you cannot lose, because one of the orders will lose, but the other will win. The difference between them is your profit. But unfortunately, in order to do this yourself (which you can with riskfreeprofit) you would have to register with a few hundred (and even over a thousand) bookies. You would also have to have a lot of money liquid so that you can cover Arbitrage orders as they come up, on BOTH sides. You make a small profit and move on to the next Arb. Well what's nice is that there is an Arb pool, which is a professionally managed fund manned by over 100 traders who trade for you! So you need not go through the hassle of signing up with all those bookies and having to have all of those liquid funds to cover the Arbs. So for now I will only cover one of the options with you, namely your ability to participate in the Managed Pool. Let me give you the incentives: they have managed to produce an about 4.5% average interest per week, but compounding is weekly, so if you compound over 52 weeks (1 year) the average ROI is in the range of 18% to 20% per week! It will go even higher if you have a number of referrals. Here's a strategy: You need to purchase their software, even if you're not going to use it. The license fee is $139 USD per month. If you find two others that wish to participate with you, that 20% per week would almost cover the $139 license fee. Usually folks either sign up two more positions under themselves or get 2 family members to join. What is exciting about this one is that the kinds of folks that you will attract to this are not just gamblers, but investors. They have a great newsletter which you can simply take and send out to your prospects. You can even sell their software (SureBetPro, that's what you're paying for each month; for the use of that software, even if you don't use it.) There is also a 2x15 spillover matrix. Anyone signing up with myself will experience the spillover, I assure you! As I can only sponsor 2 on the front line. The rest will spill over. And am not too bad at recruiting. My Upline is an Arb expert and is using the same strategy as am outlining here. He will soon have training specifically for our group! Which includes you! The basic strategy is to get in profit by recruiting two others and then using the proceeds which accrue to each of us each month in order to diversify into other stable vehicles, such as 12DailyPro, KUM, and others (SwissCash, 4X-Club....) Here are the minimum requirements for the riskfreepool (once you sign up with http://kookoo.riskfreeprofit.com and pay your $139 USD, you can sign in with your username and password at http://YOURuserNAME.riskfreepool.com and participate there). Active = Paid the US$139 monthly cost of the RFP Business Package. * Members of the RiskFreePool Trading Club MUST BE ACTIVE * As a: o Bronze Active member - you can purchase 6 x $100 = US$600 trading units. o Silver Active member with 2 ACTIVE Personal sales – you can purchase 15 x $100 = US$1,500 of trading units o Gold Active Member with 5 ACTIVE Personal Sales and at least 20 ACTIVE people in your downline – you can purchase 30 x $100 = US$3,000 of trading units o More to come soon for the business builders – so just build your business! * You may make your payment by Credit Card, E-Gold or IGX Wallet Do read the terms and conditions before you sign up with riskfreepool. Basically if you use e-gold you will need to pay 8% more, and for credit cards, 10% more per unit, plus pay the 10% rolling fund and transaction fee (refundable after 12 months)... so credit cards will cost you $118 per unit, vs $108 via e-gold. But at the end of a year, they are the same as you will get that $10 back. There are two investment options with the riskfreepool: Option 1 - Compound your profits for 12 months * Your trading units will be locked in and will compound weekly for 12 months. You will not be able to withdraw your funds for the full 12 months * At the end of 12 months you will be paid the profit and will have the option to continue on with the qualified number of trading units Option 2 - Withdraw your profits each 4 weeks * The profits for each unit traded will be noted on a weekly basis * The profit for each week will be independent of other weeks * All unit-holders with units in any given week will share in the profit pool for that week * Profits will compound over the 4-week period until the profit is paid out to the member * Each unit-holder will be paid their total of profits after each 4-week cycle * Your profits will be placed into your IGX Wallet or an ATM card, if one becomes available at a later date. If you are trying to diversify then you will go with option 2, as with that one you will get a monthly income which you can use to diversify. I hope this is clear to you. So for those of you who are investors at heart, you should recruit at least two folks (or sign up two more accounts) so that you can increase your ability to invest in this pool to the max (if you sign up 5 investors then you will really maximize this). Those of you who have a gambler in your heart, this is not likely for you, unless you also have an investor in your heart. js PS: After I have my 5, I will consider helping those of you who are sincere in earning some money and are willing to invest, but are poor at recruiting. http://kookoo.riskfreeprofit.com Thanks. Sincerely, John Stankiewicz Admin: http://9PlanetReviews.com” Dec. 9th (Friday) Let’s shut this one down right now: http://www.80daily.com Just crazy. 400% after just two days! They are just collecting your money! RiskFreeProfit will be listed some time tomorrow, afternoon. I’m quite excited about it! It’s one more of these that are legitimate and am adding it to my growing list! They are into Arbitrage and more! I will have a more full review for you on the morrow! Someone sent my review of ProfitSharingClub to the Admin there and so I received an answer, hence I must post it: “Hello from Rick - owner of PSC. Here below are some "due" answer for You: I don’t know the circumstances around the ending of ZTM, so can’t really comment on that. But I get the feeling that ZTM ended and some members did not get paid? * NO! Uncorrect :o) They are still getting paid ON TIME. Here is an update that every current member can see in the member area: Nine months have passed since ZTM was opened to membership. During those nine months, we have spent our time productively analyzing the constant changes in market conditions and researching new potential market opportunities. Based on our findings, and taking into consideration the recommendations made by some of our more actively involved Network members, we determined that the time had come to make important changes to ZTM. As we all know, making changes to anything presents challenges. In this case, we feel the changes we decided to make will be more progressive and provide a more lucrative financial vehicle for our members. Don't worry, we are not talking about changes that will affect the funds currently invested by members in ZeroToMillions. We are, however, talking about any future investments by these members. For existing ZTM invested members, your time based investments are safe and still growing. However, we have decided to close ZTM to any further investments. Instead, we decided it was necessary to implement a new domain and website to accommodate a required upgrade in software and a change in investment model. Our reasons for these changes are: The first and most important reason pertains to investments. On September 18, we were contacted by the staff of one of our main trading vehicles, and advised that they would no longer be able to offer the same annual time deposit option. The second reason pertains to software. The existing ZTM website software was placing tremendous stress on the database. There was a huge amount of data (millions of bits) being created by this software which led to the database becoming too large and unstable. This not only caused the ZTM website to become very slow loading, but also created a great concern for us that the database might collapse. The third reason pertains to the ZTM website. The look of the website was getting old and the text and blurbs on the main page were outdated. The following sets forth what will be happening with ZTM: 1. Each of your existing ZTM time based investments will continue to accrue interest until they mature and expire. 2. We will not accept further investments in ZTM. 3. Your personal data has been exported to the website of our new investment program. 4. The improved software for our new investment program does NOT offer time based investments. 5. When you request to withdraw funds from ZTM, it will be transferred to the account established for you in our new investment program. From there, you will be able to withdraw it to the e-currency account you designated when you originally invested it in ZTM. 6. You will ONLY be able to withdraw money to your e-currency account from the Member Area of our new investment program website. The most exciting news is that the new investment program is only open to new members by private invitation only. You can start your promotion NOW and earn 10% on each Investment Unit purchased by your direct referrals! The website is very well done, quite professional. * Thanks :o) * They claim to be using streambuilder.net as their main vehicle. They opened on Nov. 3rd, this year. Few deposits so far, but they claim that they have been in operation quite a long time (through ZTM?) * Yes * .. Their listed performance over the last two months is near the 28% per month mark. That’s not too bad at all. That’s over 1% per day. Of course, as ProfitSharingClub they have no real history. Min. investment is $25. They pay 4 times per month. They guarantee that you will not lose your money. That’s a red flag to most. * We know, but we has set a reserve funds and, if a given month will be very bad, we will be using the RF to recover part of the losses. Additionally we share profits; this may mean that some "BAD" month the profit will be lower than "GOOD" ones. * No one can guarantee that. Each spend is held for 60 days. Withdrawals are subject to a whopping 10% fee! That’s $138 per account, on average. They have already suffered one DDOS attack, I wonder why. * You shouldn't these days.. It's very sad but most of the good hyips are constantly under attack. * As well, once you are signed up they tell you to login at the home page. But there is no login anywhere on the page, unless am blind! So you have to enter your own username in the invite code box and THEN you can login on the following page. Oversight? Probably. * Thanks for the info - email corrected ;o) * And the following is a bit disturbing, when you try to.... * I know but there is absolutely nothing else to do while we use a proxy server to fight the DDOS * Thanks and Best regards. To Your FULL success, Rick - CEO PSC Thanks for using our support desk. SB Support Team StreamBuilder Network” And thank you for your response! I appreciate it! “The (Ultimate) Nature of the world (and how it is arising) is inherently (and tacitly) obvious, if you remain in a state of pleasurable oneness with whatever and all that presently arises.” para 1, next installment: tomorrow It seems that I had insufficient data on the market that mazu.com is in. I have removed my inaccurate review and will re-issue a more detailed and more informed review shortly. Right now I believe that they are legitimate and are conducting a legitimate business. A full review of Swisscash.biz is coming soon! Right now every HYIP or other programme that uses e-Gold is having issues with both withdrawals and order processing. It’s not their fault. It’s on e-Gold’s end, so please be patient. Give them a few days to sort it out. I suspect they were under a heavy DDOS attack and had to implement a few changes. Dec. 8th (Turd day) Q. Why Do Gorillas Have Big Nostrils? A. Because They Have Big Fingers. I’m wearing only one sock. Ok, on to business. Yet another gifting service: http://www.debtfreelifestyle.ws/ Forget it. These rarely work out. Flappin’ fairydollars.com keeps spamming my e-mail address! They are a scam! Ignore them! Dec. 7th (Wednesday) I know I have mentioned this before, but maybe it is time to refresh your memories. You see, I lost my Internet connection today and no matter what I did (ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew, power cycle the modem, power cycle the PC) the connection would not come up! Now imagine that I had placed $3K with 12DailyPro! And I had not yet surfed today’s requirement! I called my ISP and it turns out to be a Bell Canada problem (as am using an ADSL connection, not cable). So they could not restore my connection! And if I can’t surf today, nor have any friends who would surf for me, I’d be losing $360 USD today! Unless.... I had a backup connection. Either dialup or, in my case, a cable backup for just $7.95 per month added to my TV cable bill. Now many of you can probably get a free connection or pay something similar (with Netzero, Earthlink, or some other). You may THINK this is expensive, but if you lose that $360 USD or more because you can’t surf, you will no longer think it expensive to have a backup connection! You see my point? Always plan ahead and have backups, in all kinds of ways. By the way, am using my 64Kbps backup connection right now and happy as peach! I even managed not to yell at my other ISP. I was kind, friendly, and laughed. Why? Because I had a backup connection! So I made the support guy’s day as well! Who needs to be yelled at? http://www.bchinvestclub.com/?ref=riverman110 Up 67 days, daily ROIs start at 2% and go to 3%. Anything above 2% is in the ponzi range, even 2%. They do not show any other stats so it is hard to say how long this ponzi will last. They are using the standard GoldCoders.com HYIP script. Plus they are on the Katz Global Domains (scam) network (registered there). Server is in Colorado, USA. I’d not trust this one, and I don’t. http://wealth-club.org They offer you from 3.4% to 3.8% per trading day. Right away I must tell you that that’s in the ponzi range, and not trading anywhere. And for 100 days! Thank you. They appear to be investing in Penny Stocks. That’s very high risk. Don’t you think? And the following is not very promising: One week disaster** After one week Script ^$##% we are back, request your money, may reinvest a little, (would help us a lot) all works fine and we make payouts as usual Dec-4-2005 09:49:52 PM* So, up to you! I will not invest here! e-Gold is back up after being down for well over 12 hours. So if you were not able to purchase in the various programmes that you’re in.... now you can. Dec. 6th (Tuesday) ProfitSharingClub: This one is taking me a while to research. It looks like the old ZeroToMillions Club has folded and become ProfitSharingClub. I don’t know the circumstances around the ending of ZTM, so can’t really comment on that. But I get the feeling that ZTM ended and some members did not get paid? The website is very well done, quite professional. They claim to be using streambuilder.net as their main vehicle. They opened on Nov. 3rd, this year. Few deposits so far, but they claim that they have been in operation quite a long time (through ZTM?). Their listed performance over the last two months is near the 28% per month mark. That’s not too bad at all. That’s over 1% per day. Of course, as ProfitSharingClub they have no real history. Min. investment is $25. They pay 4 times per month. They guarantee that you will not lose your money. That’s a red flag to most. No one can guarantee that. Each spend is held for 60 days. Withdrawals are subject to a whopping 10% fee! Running days: 33 Accounts total: 1062 Paid Accounts: 297 Total Paid in: $40,886.15 Total Paid out: $1,461.45 That’s $138 per account, on average. They have already suffered one DDOS attack, I wonder why. As well, once you are signed up they tell you to login at the home page. But there is no login anywhere on the page, unless am blind! So you have to enter your own username in the invite code box and THEN you can login on the following page. Oversight? Probably. And the following is a bit disturbing, when you try to deposit funds: ATTENTION: PSC is still under heavy DDOS attack. This is not evident because we are under a General protection plan. This anti DDOS measures are however in conflict with part of the software. For example, if You make a purchase through e-gold or e-Bullion, this is not automatically registered. If You want to purchase through e-gold or e-Bullion, please contact us immediately after your purchase and give us your payment details; we will fix your account as soon as possible. They are registered in Margaretville, NY. Further DNS research does not reveal anything amiss. So it’s up to you. Am not sure of this one, even though it appears to be well run. They appear to be doing better than most ForEx traders out there, by about .5% a day. So that may be suspect. I’ll continue to monitor this one and if any of you find any more info, positive or negative, please pass it along to me. I will have some updates for you tonight, not to worry. Have been too busy with other things on the ‘net today. Have you noticed the latest onslaught of e-mails from fairydollars.com? And I keep getting emails from admin telling people to stop asking when they will get their money, because you see, most folks don’t read the fine print and there it clearly says they don’t get paid unless they’ve upgraded to diamond (I think)! It’s a scam site! Read my review of them below in this BLOG. Here is another site that is just BEGGING to be shut down: http://daily200.com/ 200% to 250% return in just 1 day! $16K taken in but they don’t tell you how much has been withdrawn. Am surprised they’re not dead yet! After one day I too would be taking my money out! So the w/d’s would quickly outstrip the intake. Unless.... awwww.... they are having trouble paying? Thanks to Tim for finding that scum, I mean, scam. Oops... slip of the fingers. So we have about 7 years left? Nice! Can’t wait. Or will have to. Have a look at this: http://whatisthesecret.tv/ But I will tell you that they are not revealing the Ultimate Secret to you. Am pretty sure of that. Not that I ...well, I do. But that does not mean I can feel it, embody it and so on, right now it is just knowledge. And Knowledge, without practice, is useless. And it can be quite depressing. Some of you know this. You may know the Secret, but not having attained it, feeling it, you are ... depressed! Right? That is all I am willing to say here. Read “The Disappearance of the Universe” by Gary R. Renard, A Course in Miracles by http://acim.org , “Thinking and Destiny” by Harold W. Percival at http://word-foundation.com and “The Knee of Listening” and “The Method of the Siddhas” by Sri Adi Da at http://adidam.org and that’s about all you need. Well good morning! In case you are not on the ALERT SREVICE list I sent this one out yesterday: “Here's something you may not have thought about too much. As you may already know we have launched an HYIP type program, but rather than it being a ponzi like 99% of the rest, we offer only realistic returns per trading day which can be sustained by the market, not by incoming money from new members. And that's refreshing because unlike a Cycler this one should last much longer, in fact, if run well, indefinitely. In any case, what I wish to apprise you of today is how much money you can actually earn if you set your compounding rate to 100%, meaning that all of your daily interest earned is returned to earn more interest. Let me give you a few examples and a calculator link where you can play with various scenarios. Let's say you are able to deposit $500 into http://r-yip.com/?kookoo today. Let's further say that once your funds are in the trading account (takes about 5 days) you set your compounding to 100%. And let us say that you leave that alone for 36 periods, meaning 36 months or 3 years. We pay you typically from 1% to 2% at most, per trading day. Let's assume the most conservative interest of 1% per trading day. How much money do you think will have accumulated in your account at the end of 36 months? Just over $354K USD! Now let's try $20 USD, 36 months, 1% per trading day: Just over $14,126 Isn't that a pretty nice surprise? In any case, I think you get the idea. If you wish to play with the calculator then here it is: http://9planetreviews.com/icalc.html Happy Holidays! Play here if you wish: http://r-yip.com/?kookoo By the way, the above applies to the other vehicles I list on the reviews page. - 4x-Club - PIU - MWA - MPDW - FastMarket (but this one is most likely a ponzi, so be careful, but it's a great ponzi! So far! Ha!) - SwissCash (soon to be listed) - 12DailyPro (just less than 4% ROI per day) But let me stress again! This kind of playing with the iCalculator only applies to those concerns that will last for the next 3+ years! It does NOT apply to the ponzis! Those will die within six months! So you can't afford to let your interest compound in the ponzis, which is somewhere around 99% of the HYIPs out there. Am not kidding you! So only dream your dreams with the legit opps! This was the first lesson I learned upon joining and monitoring this field of HYIPs: the promises of compounding are usually NOT fulfilled, because the programs that profess such a thing fold within six months! So how are you to realize those returns? By investing in those programs that have a very good chance of lasting past 3 years or more! OK. I've said enough. Thanks mark. Sincerely, John Stankiewicz” Dec. 5th (Monday) http://www.yourpaidtoclick.com Can you believe this site? It’s not an auto-surf, you actually must surf, but they state that they have taken in $10,320, 200! That’s over $10 Million, with only 1202 members. So what’s that per member? A nice $8,319 per member! Well, that’s outrageous! Unless they have rounded up all the rich folk to partake in this! Which I doubt. So.... this reviewer feels that they are lying! Yes indeed. False stats. And there is no data at Alexa.com as to when they started nor their traffic ranking! Folks? I strongly suspect this is going to turn into a major scam. They are behind a proxy, registered in NY. Server is in San Diego, CA. I would be careful if I were you! This smells very fishy to me! Now get this! Minutes after publishing this I went to their site to find out when they started and look at what I see in their stats: Member Count: 67 Total Purchased: $ 1,039.00 Oh really? What happened to the other stats? I wish I had taken an image capture of the stats just before they changed them.... well, how could I have known? Now is this deliberate, or was it an oversight? Maybe they used stats that were set in the script? But then.... how many days did they have those false stats up? Raises too many questions. I can’t trust them. attack4cash.com : Started Nov. 18th, 2005. Paid to surf clone of 12DailyPro. Same script. DNS DD report turns out OK with nothing suspicious. Registered in London, England. Contact: eady mac (admin@attack4cash.com) 13% daily, but on referrals you only get a MAXIUM of $1000! Remember that. In 12DailyPro there is no maximum! Upgrades expire in 10 days. So that’s a 30% profit per 10 days. And read this: Are payouts guaranteed? No. The proposed payout is up to 13% of your Member Level for each day that you earn 20 or more credits for viewing other members pages. The percentage may be adjusted up or down depending on the inflow of revenues. Downward adjustments may be necessary in periods of slow growth and could potentially reach zero at times to keep the program operating. My final comment is that these folks are new, have no experience, low membership count as compared to 12DailyPro and not enough in reserves built up as yet which means they can’t bring in too many outside funds, if any. So why take the risk? Am testing some windwos/internet scripting/task automation software right now. Why? Because I don’t wish to lose one single day surfing 12DailyPro or any other! The cost for such software ranges from about $30 USD to $67,000 USD. Am testing one for $99 USD. Free 30 day trial. Am being told that https://www.fe-international.com/ is going down. People have not been paid in the last 48 hours. I received the following yesterday: moneybacktripler@yahoo.com has invited you to join the moneybacktripler group! Just ignore it if you receive it as well. Cyclers don’t work! Especially triplers! It will stall on the first day! If not the second. The latest proposal by Brett for HYIPFever is not going to work. As I said before, no attempt to throttle a ponzi will work, because it will do just that, throttle it. What’s the point of having a high ROI and not being able to w/d most of that? The hit and runners will see this! So it is counter-productive! Good luck to you Brett, but no cigar. http://www.watsonsforex.net/ Mr. Watson says he’s a ForEx Trader and has been trading for one year now. He guarantees you 4% per trading day.! Now Mr. Watson must be a super guy, to be able to make trades that are so successful, after just one year, that he can beat most of the traders out there by over a factor of 4! (or over 400%). Because, you see, the best that a ForEx trader can do, so far that I have seen reported, is about 1% per trading day, not over 4%! I don’t even think that guy that balances his own energy so that he is in tune with the energy of the trading morphogenetic field, so to speak, gets 4% per day. Now, Mr. Watson not only has to do over 4% per day, but he also has to do at least a percent or so over so that he can get paid, or maybe he just takes an Admin fee? In which case, he still has to do better than over 4% a day. So I don’t believe Mr. Watson. Such a good trader as Mr. Watson would not need to ask us for our twenty bucks to increase his investment capital. He would have been scooped up by some large firm and would now be earning millions of dollars in either commissions or salary. His prospects with us, in comparison, are pretty dim. So if Mr. Watson is true to his word then he has made a very poor business decision by opening up this Internet Based business. Thank you Mr. Watson, many desperate folks will believe you, but I hope many will not. I received a reply from Vascoinvestment Admin concerning the issues I have raised below. Here is his response: “Hi, I would like to share our view on this problem. We are strongly convinced that this all was done ONLY to slander us, not in order to collect referral commissions or for some other reason. The most probable reason is that their admin, damn Russian scammer, or someone esle who has access to idann.org's database, simply wanted to make life harder for us by sending out this email. Just give it a thought. Why would we want to send out such emails to the members of the program that has just run off and stating in this email that our program is a new project of Idann.org? This is ridiculous, simply ridiculous. So, these damn Russian scammers simply wanted to slander us. This is what we are 100% sure of. Thank you, Mark Liebman” Well, it could well be. I have no evidence either way. But.... why would the Admin of a failed site go after the Admin of another site, if there were no relationship nor any kind of contact. What would be the motivation? Well, let’s move on. Dec. 4th (Sunday) OK. Listen! I can’t believe this. When I was sent the link and I went to the site I started laughing! It said Fairy Dollars! So my thought was, ha! Fairy, that’s for sure! Here’s the site: http://www.fairydollars.com/pages/index.php?refid=kookoo (yes, my link). So I just surfed two sites and guess what my balance is? It says... $300 Direct Earnings and that my account Balance is $500. Is that not amazing? Are we speaking of FAIRY DOLLARS? Or what? It does not say USD. The $500 is because of the $200 signup bonus. So now, what will it take me to w/d that money? I bet that’s where the catch is. This site makes no sense! There are upgrades there from Bronze, to Silver to Gold, each one going up in price, yet payout going DOWN from $100,000 to 40,000 at the Gold Level. But... here goes, at the Diamond level there is no minimum payout... and then it says... Only Diamond Members can payout for real cash! WOW! Holy crap! This is a scam all the way! You join, you get $200 in monopoly money, you upgrade, you surf, you get thousands of dollars, but you can’t withdraw until you’ve accumulated 40,000...... to 100,000 and then discover you can’t even withdraw that until you’re at diamond level! At least that’s how am reading this. Are you? Plus at the Diamond level “Your Payout Request has higher priority than non Uprade Members!!” Which means that all Diamond levels get paid out first! And am still not sure if that’s USD or pesos! Or Rubles! Or Rupees! Isn’t 30,000 cents $300 dollars? That’s what they typcially pay you per banner click! That’s insane! Can you smell the fish? Now am at $800! Having only clicked on three banners! So they connive you with all this, get you to upgrade, and then likely don’t pay you! They must be quite low in the food chain to do this kind of thing. Finally, what are my options? I noticed that there are ONLY paid to click sites available, no paid to review, no paid to to Signup. That’s it! So I feel this one is a real scam site, as compared to say, SurveyScout (use Reviews button up top to find it and get going). AM PRETTY SURE THIS (FairyDollars) IS A SCAM. Trust the title (DNS name). http://www.400dollarsmail.com/pages/index.php?refid=kngsdwrd Registered in Poland. Server in Atlanta, Georgia. You get paid to read emails. They claim that they have paid out $36M already. Now that is hard to believe. But they have only been online since Feb. of this year! So I can’t quite believe that, plus it’s a Polish run site (hey, am Polish on my mother’s side!). 36 Million paid out? I’d say that either this is rare or.... well you get my meaning. In the last three months their Traffic Ranking has gone down by 21%. I don’t know what else to say about this one. I don’t have the time nor the inclination to test these out and tell you if they do pay or do not pay, after all, this 9PR site is a free service. And am lazy. So up to you. Use the above URL to test it out and report back to me if it’s good or not, paying or not. FX-Experts: 0.2% to 2% daily depending on how well their ForEx trading goes, on trading days. Compounding is available. Principal can be withdrawn at anytime for a 10% Admin fee. E-Gold only. 5% referral commission on deposits. Online since Oct. 11th, 2005 according to Alexa.com. Traffic? Not really on the radar. Contact info: msmatos@gmail.com DD: Well there were a few failures and errors in the DNS Due Diligence, but nothing major. I’ve passed those on to the Admin. Telephone number is in Belgium, but they are using an invalid Country Code: BR, there is no such. Belgium is BEL, Brazil is BRA. Puzzling. A reader that lives in Belgium could not find the phone number that the Admin lists. Server is in Virginia, USA. Well, I have no further information. Their ROIs are consistent with ForEx trading, probably at the top end of what one can attain in that. I will keep an eye on this one. Here is the URL (not mine): http://www.fx-experts.com/?ref=krooken Here is a very good site to spend some time at, if you are inclined towards the mystic, esoteric, spiritual, transcendental mysteries and what’s going to happen soon: http://www.jayweidner.com/2012Topology.html And am not pushing/talking about some New Age theory. There is nothing New Age about it. The records of this event go back far. I mentioned below that Vascoinvestment is likely a scam run by iDann. Why do I say this? I could be entirely wrong, but I have found the following info on the hyipscammers site, which site I also suspect as I could not reach the Admin and there is absolutely no contact info. As well, one of my readers suspects that hyipscammers may be extorting money from legit sites, or even scam sites, by threatening to post about them on their site. I don’t know if this is true, but here is what they have to say about iDann and hence about Vascoinvestment as these are most likely intimately related: 5) iDann Ltd. URL:http://www.idann.org/ Comments: Famous Russian scammers are here, call the police:) IP: 85.140.79.231 Hostname: ppp85-140-79-231.pppoe.mtu-net.ru Location: Moscow, Russia Source where we have found this IP: email headers, server logs, posts on the forum Now if iDann and/or Vascoinvest Admins would provide me with some info that would counter the above, I would be pleased to post that here. OK. I just read the explanation re: iDann.org e-mail sent out at http://vascoinvestment.com/explanation.html and you know what? I don’t buy it for one simple reason: if someone from iDann wanted to take advantage of the iDann list in order to make some commissions at Vascoinvestment.com then they would have sent out a referral URL! Not just http://vascoinvestment.com because in this case all referral commissions are going to go to Vaascoinvestment.com Admin! So either that was a major error by the person behind contact@idann.org or.... s/he did not care because Vascoinvestment.com is owned by him or her. Right? I’d like an answer to this one from Vascoinvestment.com Admin, as it is not dealt with in their explanation. Indeed Vascoinvestment.com was created back in 1998, but they have not had any significant traffic until Nov. 14th of this year, during a time which there was a change made at the Domain/Registrar: modified: 2005-11-14 21:14:31 UTC So there could have been a major change just a few weeks ago, such as launching this particular website (and didn’t Vascoinvestment Admin say that iDann ran with members’ money two weeks ago???? Coincidence?). Now I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and speculate that the iDann contact or Admin simply used the iDann list to spam this new opportunity, but forgetting to put his or her own referral URL in the e-mail. That sounds rather plausible. What do you think, Admin of Vascoinvestment? So in conclusion, I’m going to watch this one for a while and be cautious. One more thing: if the Vascoinvestment Admin is honest and aboveboard on all this, why not go after iDann.org? The site is still up. Well good luck on that. Damn! Session 5 ended prematurely at HYIPFever, so I lost half my money. The Admin is in an analysis mode, studying the data, and finally concludes that the problem was not with the deposits but the quick withdrawals! Hcow! Can’t he see that the problem is with the high ROIs for 3 days? 50% each day for 3 days will for sure attract the hit and runners, and it did! I saw that with other HYIPs, so don’t know why I lost my reasoning and put money in there. Now Brett says that Session 6 will employ a w/d limit equal to the largest recent deposit or w/d, which ever is greater. Look, that’s NOT going to work. That will limit deposits and you’re back to square one! He’s using his Session system to try to find the best solution! And we are all being test rats! Sorry, I will never play in that one again. Because he does not seem to be getting it right. Part of a good system is low and realistic ROIs, on trading days, building up enough of a reserve to invest in ForEx, arbitrage, and some other vehicles, and putting all that back to paying out those low and realistic ROIs, not continue to experiment with the ponzi model! You can’t control a ponzi model! That has been proven by all the cyclers that have ever lived, crashed, died, ran, and by all the HYIP ponzis and Auto-Surf ponzis. Some are working! Like 12DailyPro. Most others are not. So am no longer going to be a test rat for HYIPFever. My Fever has broken! I will be reviewing http://krook.riskfreeprofit.com tomorrow. Looks interesting. I’ve ignored this one for a long time now and am being prodded to look. Ok, I will. But not today, please! It’s Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun day. Folks, you won’t believe this one! But it is a delight! Why? Because I think it will really work! And what they have to offer the richer of you is just hilarious! Well, from the perspective of traditional investments and their rewards, they are! Not that I condone this kind of activity, but hey, with or without you these folks will make money. So it’s up to you. It may go entirely against your morals and sensibilities, or it may not. Have I said enough? Well look at what they offer some of you who are richer than many others: “We have therefore developed the following incentive program for larger investors: * Invest at least $10,000 with us to qualify for VIP passes to the best private parties at porn conventions held frequently in major cities across Europe and the Americas such as Prague, Amsterdam, Miami, Las Vegas and Rio de Janeiro. This is your chance to meet top stars and hot upcoming models in a relaxed social atmosphere and see the adult industry from the inside in a way you have never experienced before! * Invest at least $25,000 and receive backstage passes to watch production of adult content that the company is investing in. You can attend as often as you like while your investment remains with us. * Invest at least $50,000 and in addition to the benefits above, you will be invited to produce and direct a twenty-five minute mini-movie. You are of course also welcome to join in and take part in the movie should you so wish. This will naturally require that you are at least eighteen years old, that you have a recent negative AIDS test and that you sign a model release form since we follow all USA laws for productions. “ Here is the link: Dec. 3rd (Saturday) Looks like I was right in my assessment of HYIPfefever session 5! Even the Admin has just now admitted that it will close soon if there are no more spends of a significant amount to keep this going! Damn! So am losing $250 USD. Ok, I’ve learned my lesson, never will I ever again invest in HYIPFever. That guy Brett should give it up. http://profits200.com/index.php? Do not play here, it will be shut down within .... moments. Clearly a ponzi. Be careful about involving your friends and families in some of these, ok? Am fairly positive about 12DailyPro, and hence can recommend that to folks I consider to be close to me. But you know? You must consider those close bonds very closely. If what you recommend turns out sour or a failure, your bond may be in question. So be careful. Everyone is supposed to understand that most of these programmes are simply games or ponzis or even scams. But it turns out that this is not the case, in peoples’ perceptions. People will take offense. Even if you are a friend. And they don’t normally read the Terms of Service or the TOS, they simply check that box and sign up! Oh well. So usually it is not a good idea to recommend most of these HYIPs to your close friends, unless they understand the nature of this game. Whew! Just withdrew half of my $501 USD spend in HYIPFever! Just after one day. Quite a sweat though! Tomorrow, by 20:00 EST will be able to w/d the last half of that and be in the clear! There is a good chance that on Monday, after 20:00 EST I will be able to get another $250 USD (that’s the profit). Cross my fingers. Ummmmm..... shit... even though I may lose $250 USD on this one.... I don’t recommend you spend in there from now on. Their w/d’s are getting very darn close to their deposits. So unless there is a sudden splurge in the next few days or hours.... I’d say you should stay out! Note am not advising you directly! Or indirectly! I was pleased to see that one of my readers has just upgraded at 12DailyPro to the tune of ..... $6,000 USD! Wow! So I just earned 12% of that. You do the math. And again I must tell you that 12DailyPro is the top-rated auto-surf site everywhere! Everywhere. Sign up and enjoy the earnings via the Reviews button above. Well I have just done some Due Diligence on Private Investors Union. You can read about it if you wish. What I have found is that they hide some things more than even some of the scams. I guess I can understand that, for a Private Club. But then am a bit suspicious. In any case, the plans are from 8% to 125 per month (not per day). So this seems very reasonable indeed. Will I list this one as one of the legit ones? Give me a week or so. I still have to think about it. There are too many FAILures in the DD data. So am concerned about that. So I will still have to do further research before you risk your money. OK? Great. This one has been added to the Reviews page. The Review is sparse. The folks at iDann have launched another possible scam: http://www.vascoinvestment.com/ I would stay away. Why would they launch this one if iDann were successful? Hmmm? Think about it. They’re on the Coloquest network, I have a faint memory that this may be serving some other scammers, I coudl be wrong. The other red flag is that the originating e-mail that invites me to join Vascoinvestment is coming from contact@idann.org and the URL they are giving me is not a referral URL! It is a top level URL, meaning..... iDann and Vascoinvestment are either in partnership or the former owns the latter. OK! Let’s sing! Sing! SING! Do you know? What a ponzi is? Do you like the scams that life’s been showing you? Where is your money going to? Do you know? Do you get the money that you’re hoping for? When you look behind you it’s all over for. What are you losing for? Do you know? Once we were spending still in time Chasing the money That filled the scams You knew how I loved hyip’s But my bank account is free Laughing at the money That they once asked of me Do you know? What a ponzi is? Do you like the scams that life’s been showing you? Where is your money going to? Do you know? Now looking back at all we’ve lost and won We let so much money Just slip through our hands Why must we wait so long? Before we learn How sad losing money To those scammers can be. Do you know? What a ponzi is? Do you like the scams that life’s been showing you? Where is your money going to? Do you know? Do you get the money that you’re hoping for? When you look behind you it’s all over for. What are you losing for? Do you know? Do you know? (js - my sides are hurting with enjoyment! Respond if you wish. Do I need to explain this song? Most of you old folks will recognize the music in your head as you read the above.) Thanks to Jonni and Frank for pointing out another method of setting up a SwissCash account: Part 1 – *SwissCash* Investment Plan (CIP) The CIP gives the opportunity to everyone to invest money from a minimum of USD100 to USD10,000 with a fixed income payment schedule. It is a plan whereby an investment of USD10,000 can turn an individual to become a millionaire in a matter of 3-5 years. Every CIP carries a combined monetary value of USD50 million to USD200 million. Even before any particular CIP is launched, it has been carefully planned by our Investment team, Risk Management team and Senior management and consultants. All Principle investment with *SwissCash* is guaranteed by Swiss Mutual Fund. I will do further investigation today and post more information about this solid-looking investment option. Dec. 2nd (Friday) Wahoo! I just got my w/d from 12DailyPro for the last upgrade. Took almost 7 days, but hey, I don’t care. (It is stated that it may take up to 7 business days). Now, should I chance the newest session in HYIPFever? May be worth risking $500 or less at this time. Takes only 3 days to recover and make profit there right now. At the $500+ level I will earn 50% per day, so within 2 days I will be even, well not quite. 10% w/d fee. So 3 days. Session just opened a couple of days ago. So... will I make it? I think so. Here goes! Folks I know this is a real gamble, and I put down most sites that give those kinds of returns. Because most of those sites will not prevail. This one has, over the last four sessions. And we’re at the beginning right now of another session... so.... right now it is worth the risk, for me. What about for you? See? Am being honest about this. I’m already over 30K in debt on credit cards, I figure another $500 won’t hurt! But if you don’t have that kind of money then don’t risk it! Pure and simple. Although the min., I think, is quite low. http://earn-hyip.com/?ref=acplan Another one that is not making it. ROI’s even above ponzi range, super-ponzi. Taking in about $900 or so per day. Withdrawal is at about 30%. So getting up there. Nothing compelling about this but the ROIs. Too risky. I’ve just added Mutual Wealth Alliance to the Reviews page. Use the Join Now link on the Reviews page to get an invite code so you can look around and join or not join. This is one of those legitimate ones with a low ROI as compared to the ponzis. I’m sorry, but I started to laugh as soon as I read the first sentence at this site: http://fl-profit.com/?rid=414 And I quote: “FL-profit.com is founded by a group of forexing and stocking experts.” The site is founded by some guys who are into forexing? Do they mean foraging? And they are stocking experts? Stocking what? Stockings? It’s hilarious. And they are “devoting to distribute”. So they first stock things, and then devotedly distribute what they stocked? They also say you can be certain that your funds will be handled by a group of professionals. Professionals in what? Stocking and distirbuting? I know am being facetious here, but these professionals are not even professional enough to use clear and perfect English on their “professional” site. Ah... the security market! But they are no licensed to trade in securities, are they? No they are not! Look at their terms page. The first thing they say is that they are not licensed to trade securities! And not licensed in any country! Then they go on to say they are absolutely exempt from the Securities act of 1933. Need I go on? Clearly a scam run by amateurs. I would stay away. But here is some DD: “WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is.” This is not good from our point of view. Deception is at hand. The rest of the DD is ok (Registered in Alabama, Server in in Dallas, TX). So my conclusion is that the guy is lying to you about where he trades (does not, as he is not licensed). It’s likely a ponzi. Matt just alerted me to this possible scam: http://www.royalcasinofund.com You need an invite code to get in, but am questioning why, as once you sign up there is no data there at all. The only data is on the front page. And as you are registering you will notice that total intake right now is only about $800, total withdrawn about $400 and the daily ROI is 1.6%, 5 days out of 7. DNS DD shows that they are on the Katz Global Network, a favorite with scammers. Further DD does not show much wrong with the registration. I’d say this is another JohnsonHYIP.com type of site (and L&H Fund). I’d not invest. I’ve just added a fourth Survey Site: Survey-Platinum. Use the Reviews page to find it, read about it, and join up. They are the 4th of my four favorites. Ok, which one of you can qualify for swissmutualfund.biz (also known as swisscash.biz)? Here are the requirements: Minimum Investment Requirements: Corporate Account Set Up: USD5,000,000 Individual Account Set Up: USD2,000,000 Step up to the plate and sign up! You just need to plunk down USD 2 Million! Am waiting! Yeah, right. Someone sent me that one to review. So looked it over, and it seems very legit. Very well done, nice site, proper English and so on, and then I found the above requirements. And am thinking that they probably don’t even have referral commissions on that 2 Million! Why even have a public site? With that kind of a qualification they don’t need to be public! Dec. 1st (Thursday) http://jlotrader.com I don’t believe this one. Not quite. The so-called Professor is probably not even European. His English is a bit peculiar, not quite German, but smacking a bit of Asian. He says they are involved in Futures Trading with a 75%+ success rate, whereas the success rate out there is about 50%. If he truly has found a way to get that kind of success rate he would not be offering this to the common folk, for their $20. He would be hired by some Wall Street Firm and given a million dollar salary. So I don’t buy it. His Company is registered in Denmark, but his diction is suspect, again, I don’t think the person who wrote that ad copy is of a German background. His passport (jpg) is issued in Denmark, so why then is his name stated in English, rather than German? Jack is not a German name, it would have to be Johanne. And certainly Lawrnece is not a German/Danish name! Ok, am not going to accuse him of a false passport, ok? I won’t. Will I? Nope. Don’t think so. Should I? Nope, not a good idea. Will I play in his Futures Trading iznop? Nope. I have just listed ExpressPaidSurveys as my third ranked paid to fill out survey sites. It’s unclear as yet how well our European, Asian, and South American readers will fare on this one, so I have asked admin about it. Please stay tuned to this BLOG and I should have an answer for you soon. Go to the Reviews page (button up top) to find out more. Those of you with a Clickbank ID and who have a 9PR site, go ahead and update your Programs area with your Clickbank ID for this one. Am looking at autosurf440.com. Seems to be legit. Will report on it tonight or tomorrow. Testing it out right now. Ok, more crap for you about StudioTraffic from two sources: “Studio Traffic. This guy is running a close second in the ugly stakes. I wrote in detail last month of my concerns at Studiotraffic, and I can now confirm that it has got even worse. You may remember I wrote "Before you invest any money in Studio Traffic ask yourself, "Will my country be next" or if you live in the USA, "Will they start banning my state" Well, I must admit, even I didn't think they would go that far, but they have. Members all over the USA are now having their accounts blocked, and their deliberate delaying tactics in unblocking those, that they choose to unblock, must be saving them a fortune in payouts. Not to mention the deliberate delaying tactics in verifying Studiopay accounts, and delaying payouts.“ and “Just got out of one of the "scheduled meetings" ST is done for... They are taking members’ funds who were in... Blocking them from surfing, not paying their pendings and then, adding their funds to the "reserve". I tried to save the transcript for you but "paltalk" Janky Program messed up my data and kicked me out... Aaron and Shara are going to send it too me though. As soon as I get it I'll send it over to you.... Just like you said before, you're probably not blocked because you havn't withdrawn... Their deposits minus withdrawals system includes referral commissions.. So if you're in profit.. you're outtie... wanted to send you that real quick I'll give you more when I get it.. Take care... Nevin” Nov. 30th (Wednesday) http://www.solarhyip.com Well, another one that I would not play in. One day old, 120% after just one day, that’s really high risk! Really high! Who can give you 120% just after one day? Should be shut down. 3 days, 60% daily. 4 days 44% daily. Absolutely ridiculous. Either they are just testing the waters or are just collecting and about to run. Then there is 7% daily for 365 days. Yeah right. Ponzi. Not to worry, this one will be closed soon. I wonder if things will slow down during December? Folks focussing more on partying and buying presents? Usually happens. Session 4 at HYIPfever has ended and they are happy to report that: “Session 4 has ended with a good number of members in profit! Congratulations to member 'supercool' for winning the Special Prize of $113.53!” Wow! A whole one hundred and thirteen dollars! And some few cents! You have GOT to be joking! HYIPfever has got to be the worst site right now. Forget it guys! Your model is NOT working! No one is interested! See ya. Well I did manage to surf my pages at 12Dailypro, despite the sudden unavailability of the site. Then a few minutes later it comes up. Am glad they have a good team on this. Seems that they are able to get the site back up within minutes. And of course there are others out there that are trying to bring them down. Sad. Can’t compete in the normal fashion? Truly a professional operation! And am looking forward to the Convention in February. Perhaps I will go! Nov. 29th (Tuesday) I’m really pleased with how well http://www.worldlpp.com/ is doing! (Sign up using the Reviews link above). Those of you who have joined but have not participated in Program #1 (Vivamin.com) you have until 6PM PST tomorrow to do so. Else you will not earn any commissions nor can participate in that program. Those of you who have purchased shares via Paypal have had them returned! So you must go back in and purchase either via Stormpay, e-gold, credit card and whatever other option they have there. I purchased 10 shares myself. As well, go into your Profile and indicate which pay processor you wish to be paid in (and it has to be the same one you used to purchase shares). Then from the Main Menu/Page click on option 4 (Statistics) and then on Request Funds link at the bottom of that page. I have over 466 affiliates on two levels. 12DailyPro: How confident am I that they will survive at least another 3 months? They are holding a Convention in Charlotte at the end of February! So they will survive even well past then! So there you go. Feel free to splurge. “HitsDaily Pro, the advertising firm born out of the phenomenally successful paid autosurf, 12daily Pro, is proud to present and host the first annual International GPT (get-paid-to) Convention to be held February 24-26, 2006 in Charlotte, NC. This convention is an opportunity for web, administrators, surfers, clickers, and promoters to meet, exchange ideas, find new advertising and promotional opportunities, discover new technologies & services, share strategies, and expand their online worlds to include face-to-face interactions with their peers.” Once you sign in to 12DailyPro, click on the banner you see right there, for more information. I just received this interesting criticism of my .... behavior? My response comes right after. “Seems like everyone is jumping on the bandwagon with 12DailyPay.....However, I'm surprised that you are too. Your site is full of warnings for ponzi schemes, nevertheless, you endorse 12Daily Pay. You condem sites that offer a lot less than 12% daily as classic ponzi schemes. 12Daily Pay is a very classic ponzi scheme, paying out 12% per day!!!! They can only pay these rates, because of it's huge growth at 1000 member signing up per day. Fresh money pays for the existing members. Even existing members keep on reinvesting, so confidence is great in this program, but it is still a classic ponzi scheme, and when more people reach the maximum of $6000 investment, and more funds are leaving then coming in, it will all fall apart with a lot of people losing a lot of money. I'm surprised that with all your knowledge on ponzi schemes, you get caught up in the frenzie and endorse a program like this.” And here is my response: (I’ve had this kind of inquiry just once before, it’s probably on my page 3 of the BLOG) “I condemn the ones that have low membership, that will not make it, and that will lose your money for you, or run with it. If I find a ponzi site that seems to be doing well, I will not hesitate to play in it myself and tell others about it. I even warn them when they should get out, as am doing right now with FastMarket. You have to face the facts, 99% or more of the sites are indeed ponzis. So what are you going to do? Do you have enough money to play in the legit ones? No you don't. I know because I get very few signups on these. And I do list them when I find them. So you see am not caught up in the frenzy of this or these. I tell you honestly what they are, and if you choose to play, you choose to play, knowing full well what you're getting into. I think I will post this because there may be a few others who are confused about this. Finally, I have not only helped a lot of folks make money in these, but I have also saved a lot of folks a lot of money by warning them either away, because the ponzis will fail, and soon, or never really get going, and/or by warning them when it is the best time to get the heck out of there. And listen, folks/gamblers, will continue to play with or without me. With or without my warnings. I feel it is better that there is someone like myself that tells them honestly, rather than not. It is a jungle. And I've been very successful in my own personal navigation and in guiding others. Most of the so-called review and rating sites don't even review them properly, they just hope to collect on the commissions. I, as you have noticed, do condemn many of the ponzis, but only because I know they have either bad intent by offering ridiculous ROIs or will never pick up enough steam to make anyone any kind of money. Others I will and do endorse because they are working and there is a good chance that you will make some money there. You're going to gamble in any case. Else you would be investing with me in 4X-Club, PIU, MWA, right? But you are not! Hey, nothing personal. It applies to most of my readers. And no offense to my readers, many of whom don’t have enough money to invest in the legitimate ones. Now in the case of 12DailyPro they have already passed the six month mark and still doing great. This is mainly due to the expiration of upgrades, and unlike a cycler, folks do not have to wait to cycle, as everyone is paid evenly each day. Some folks will miss surfing a day here and a day there due to oversight, emergencies, and so on. That will lower the percent that 12DP has to pay out. And by now they should have enough reserves with over 100,000 members that they can bring in outside funding to keep this going. That's why this partial-ponzi will be alive for yet another 3 to 6 months. I am telling you this out in the open, and most of my readers understand. So play if you choose to play, there is risk, but with this one right now it is fairly minimal. That’s why am happy about it, and others are as well. I don’t think anyone is stupid. Folks do know what’s going on. Some don’t. Many do. That's my honest stance.” PS: It’s not 12% per day ROI. It’s 44% profit after 12 days with your principal returned. So that’s 44%/12 days = just under 4% per day ROI. And based on their revenues from advertising and other endeavors am not aware of it looks like they are sustaining this quite well. Finally, which ponzi do you know of that is going to hold a National Convention???? It’s unheard of! I just received this supporting e-mail from one of my readers and members at 9PlanetReviews concernign the above: “John, Absolutely loved the blog... I'm so glad I got you to get in to 12dp... They are kickin butt... Follow your first rule though... Maybe not your first rule but it should be.. Get in with the most that you can afford to loose for a good opportunity, and don't put in anything more than interest... This is coming from the pupil... As far as we're concerned you're the Jedi Knight... I was the apprentice... Now I have evolved... I love that we can go back and forth on things... I get a kick out of seeing the name on the blog too, cool as hell. Anyways... I feel so happy that I could refer you to something good too.. I just hope it lasts for us... And guess what.. “I'm surprised that with all your knowledge on ponzi schemes, you get caught up in the frenzie and endorse a program like this.” frenzies don't last 6 months and employ proxlexic DDOS protection, and plan a conference... Me and my referrals have over 6k in... Just like you said with GCI neither one of us had the confidence.. thank god, the ether, the universe, whatever the hell it is... If you find a program that works I want to know about it.. period... That's why, when I get my principle back from 12DP.. I'm joining YOU, with RYIP, 4X and the other one.. You told me about it.. I'm going with you... I just hope 12DP is one of the ones that can help us get into the black and get in the really good ones... Anyways.. that's it... you should post on MMG (Money Makers Group) too.. that would be cool and bring people to the site.. As you know.. Take Care... Nevin” Don’t worry. 12DailyPro site seems to be down on occasion. They were running out of mySQL connections which to me indicates that there are too many people requesting to surf. So likely they are upgrading the site. And the evening, when everyone gets back from work, is a peak period. So likely that’s the reason. I would recommend you try surfing either late at night, before midnight EST, or when you wake up and before you go to work. They are now up (20:18 EST). I was asked how good SurveyScout is for International members (European and so on). Here the response I received from the Admin: “"I have a lot of clients that are in Europe, Brazil, India, etc. Will they benefit from these surveys? Or are most of them from American Companies and hence Europeans etc. are not qualified? - - - - - - - - - - There are more survey opportunities for U.S. residents. The country with the second most available sites would be Canada. Our database contains a column which indicates from which geographic regions the site accepts registrations. That makes it easy for you to identify which companies you qualify for. We try to add new international sites as they become available and we have opportunity to verify them. Since success depends on other factors as well, such as profile, work ethic, etc.. it is hard to predict if a given location will provide enough surveys to make the income level you want. Some locations are going to find it easier to be successful than others. The currency and frequency of payments to international members will be determined by the survey sites, not by SurveyScout. If the payment is not in your country's currency, you will be responsible for converting it. We are sorry, but currently the promotional incentives offered with registration are available only to US residents. The information about the availability of the restaurant voucher can be found on the FAQ page. We try to locate offers that are open to as many of our members as possible, but it is difficult to find promotions available to our international members. We are still searching. You are welcome to sign up and give it a try to see whether it works for you. We do have an 8 week (56 day) refund policy, so if you decide you're not making the money you desire, you can send us a message and request a full refund of your membership fee.” I advised them that they should post such info in the FAQs or right on the home page as it would save a lot of folks a lot of grief having signed up, then having to request a refund because they cannot find enough work Internationally. Nov. 28th (Monday) Last night (this morning actually) my Power Supply was laid to rest. There was a nice burnt smell. See, I keep my machine on at all times, and takes a toll on the moving parts, like the fans. So the fan inside the Power Supply gave up it’s Ghost, the Power Supply overheated, and quietly died in my sleep. So I replaced it. I know you wanted to know this. Losing a close one is always a bit sad. In any case, let’s get on with business. Sunwolf at 9PlanetReviews is now being rotated in my advertising efforts. Good luck. I was just asked which of the four survey sites that I list do I think is the more popular. Here’s my research: paidsurveysonline.com: 9,617 surveyscout.com: 6,741 expresspaidsurveys.com: 38,231 survey-platinum.com: 63,659 From the above SurveyScout.com is the clear leader at least in traffic stats. This could be due to either being on the 'net the longest, or being the most popular, or both. But Survescout has had only a one month lead over survey-platinum, so they are clearly a winner over the others. PaidSurveysOnline.com is in second place. There you have it. You can sign up for the first two on the Reviews page, and the last two are listed somewhere below. Use Ctrl-F to find them. http://emvestfund.com/?ref=1604818 This one promises that they are different from the ponzis out there, but they are not really. 6% daily over 25 trading days is in the extreme ponzi range. As is 200% after 35 days. You can’t make that even at 12DailyPro! “Our team is focused on attaining consistent returns on our client's investments, while reducing risk of loss. This is done through having a strategic and balanced plan for all investments; the diversification of investments as well as maintaining a reserve fund as an insurance against loss.” Yeah sure. So am I. If they were really able to give us that high an ROI then Wallstreet would have hired these guys long ago and given them million dollar salaries! (Thanks to John McIsaac for that line. I’ll be reviewing his nice opportunity soon!) So I don’t believe this one for one bit. Or two bits, binary speaking. Or a nible (4 bits), or even a byte (8 bits). Or a full word (that’s 32 bits). You know? Another stupid plan: http://www.doubleplans.com/?ref=1604818 32% daily for 3 days or 182% after 3 days. Don’t even bother! Someone please shut this one down! 2606726 (doubleplans.com) http://www.hot-invest.com/ This one recently started and already has a 76% withdrawal rate as compared to deposits. Clear sign of a ponzi that’s about to fold. Too late for this one. And here’s the reason why: 10% per day for 30 days! And 15% per day for 30 days! And more! No ponzi can sustain this for long. Eventually incoming money dries up and withdrawals catch up with deposits. Why would anyone join this site and others like it? http://www.amigosurf.com/ Look at it closely! Most features do not match that of 12DailyPro. So why would you surf there over 12DailyPro? I can’t think of a good reason. Unless, they don’t know any better! As they have not been exposed to 12DailyPro, nor to my site, here. http://securelandinvest.com/?rid=226 Another one that is not realistic. 4% per day. If they came into such a cash crop, they would have been able to get private funding and not bother us about our $20 bucks. You see? Anyone who can guarantee such an ROI would be able to secure private funds and not bother with the internet crowd. And hacker safe? Yeah right. No site is hacker safe. Please ignore. I have a few requests to review http://www.balticdividends.com I don’t trust these guys. DD: “ERROR: The IP of one or more of your mail server(s) have no reverse DNS (PTR) entries”, and “WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is” and “ERROR: One or more of your mailservers does not accept mail to postmaster@balticdividends.com. Mailservers are required (RFC822 6.3, RFC1123 5.2.7, and RFC2821 4.5.1) to accept mail to postmaster.” and they are registered in Latvia. Now I could be wrong, but I don’t believe that they could be trusted. The ROIs are 6% per day and up. Ponzi range. They trade, apparently, in futures and currency exchange (ForEx). Well those don’t give them a 6% per day profit! So how can they pay you that? They say: “We have developed a truly state-of-the-art facility capable of handling virtually any kind of order using the very finest online currency trading tools available today. We are sure you will find our services to be among the very finest in the Forex, NASDAQ trading industry.” Yet they have no license to participate in those markets! And look at this: they are based in Latvia, yet prevent their own folks from participating? Why? Because it is illegal there! “Baltic Dividends Inc will refuse any account holder or transaction eminating from the following countries: ESTONIA, LATVIA, LITHUANIA. To evade physical office theft.” ‘Nuff said! Nov. 27th (Sunday) Hey! Why am I working on a Sunday? Because I like it! Listen, most of you are getting e-mails from somebody that contains just plain gibberish in the From address, advertising something ridiculous like 200% after 2 days. Just hit that Delete key! Trouble yourself no more. Oh and I’ve been getting quite a few e-mails purportedly from the FBI, saying I’ve visited many illegal sites and that my IP has been logged and to explain myself. Here is how I explain myself: I hit the Delete key or click on Delete with my mouse! WOOPS! Sorry folks, it was Pinnacle Profits that closed! Not Interestads. My mistake! So ignore that. I will be adding the following legitimate investment vehicle to the Reviews page soon: Mutual Wealth Alliance. In order to view the website you will need an Invite Code. Request an invite code via the Reviews page (find it via Ctrl-f and look for MWA). When you receive your invite code go to the site using the link in the e-mail I send you. At the site enter your e-mail address in lower case, else you will not be able to enter. This one is not a high yield programme! So do not request and invite code if you are looking for higher interest. From what I can see at the site their performance is somewhere around 5% ROI per ......month! They trade in ForEx, and others. Here is what they say: “Our fund focuses on forex managed accounts, arbitrage trading, option trading, and business projects. We are not a High Yield Investment Program (HYIP) and we do not invest in HYIPs. We diversify amongst legitimate verified investment vehicles that have proven to be stable and solid with a low risk factor. We are not here to make you rich overnight or week, our aim is to create a solid long lasting fund. The MWA fund focus is always longevity and stability over high returns. If you're looking for high returns then this is not the place to be. But if you are looking for higher returns than what your bank has to offer while avoiding the risk involved in so called "high yield investing", you've come to the right place. We operate and manage an Investment Fund which we call the "Mutual Wealth Fund". This fund is diversified into low and medium risk investment vehicles which have been analyzed over the last few months prior to opening Mutual Wealth Alliance.” Well folks, I took the plunge. I put in $2K USD into 12DailyPro! (Sign up on the Reviews page, button up top, why do I keep saying this? Because some of you with your own 9PR sites would like to benefit from any signups/commissions and I like that, even if I don’t profit. And the best way to do that is to advertise your own 9PlanetReviews site, which I give you for free). So I have surfed my daily required pages today and have earned 12% on my $2K. I like 12DP above all other clones because this one is simple: I just have to remember to wake up each day, get on the ‘net, and surf my 12+ pages. That’s it! No gimmicks, nothing else to remember. Nothing to forget and forfeit. So now I send you all out there. Go and make some cash! With the recent interest in 12DP I think this one will survive for at least another six months, if not more. The loyalty to 12DP is fierce! Major lists are and have picked up this one, so it all spells success in the near term. And let’s hope in the long term as well. My further plans are to take out my principal out of FastMarket (after the 20% penalty I should have $4K) and put that whole $4K into 12DailyPro! Why earn 30% per month when you can earn 88% per month or more? Here is another ridiculous HYIP that offers from 58% daily to 140% after 3 days. Withdrawals are already near 50% with only 12K taken in. Very high risk. I would not chance this one if I were you (http://www.praise-hyip.com/?ref=riverman110) Here is another ripoff: http://www.licere.com/?rid=1025 They pay you from 20 to 23% per day! That is horrific! No one can earn that kind of income in any of the markets! They are simply collecting your money! Here is the kaka they try to sell you: “Rates have been designed to be realistic and profitable to all our members. Funds accumulated from our members, as well as, our team's funds are invested in various funds and activities.” Yeah right! Realistic? Impossible! Here is a programme that gives you from 1% to 2% ROI per day. Nothing remarkable about it. I don’t know the Admin, so can’t say how good it is. Could be another L&H Fund. Who knows? http://www.golden-dreams.biz/?ref=riverman110 The only problem I see is that China and Iran are mentioned in the Registration and Server location. The server is in the USA, but... registration is in Iran by CHINA-CHANNEL.COM. Red Flag on this one! http://HYIPVisionaries.com/?ref=riverman110 Another one in the “ridiculous” list. 4 days, from 31.25 to 33.75% per day ROI! Can you believe it? 6 running days and only about $6K taken in. Wow! Woohoo! I mean, that’s... NOTHING! So stay away. There is a plethora of these out there! All designed to get some money out of you before they run. But the good news is that they are finding that folks are not so stupid anymore. They are not spending as much as before! Maybe due to some sites like mine? Blush. I hope so! Damn scammers. So what am I saying about this one? You guess it! Har! Here is yet another that can’t be trusted: http://www.private-trade.com/?ref=1604818 20% ROI each day for 13 days! No way! That is not sustainable unless it is a ponzi, even then it is not sustainable unless they have massive amounts of money coming in. And a 10% referral programme. Don’t be sucked in! No idea when they started, no traffic info at Alexa.com, nothing. I would stay away. Nov. 26th (Saturday) http://cashfx.net/prelaunch/?rid=kookoo Well, I joined and am investigating this one right now. Stay tuned. Guess I was right about EmpoweredFund.com (see Oct. 17th entry in this BLOG). They are now gone! Run with whatever money they managed to collect. Never did recommend them! I can’t believe that just having reviewed safe-holdings three days ago that it’s gone! http://www.safe-holdings.com/ Am shaking my head over this one. Seemed to be honest. Am sending an e-mail to the Admin. Ok, my link for private investors union is now active. Don’t wait until Monday. This one is yet another that joins 4X-Club as being a legitimate programme: not a ponzi, they do trade, and yes, the ROI is low compared to the ponzis, but then your money is safe and working for you! I will soon add a full review to the reviews page. And yes, I know, many of you won’t sign up. Sigh. But there are one or two of you that indeed do want to see legitimate programmes listed on my site. So there you go. http://goldcashdaily.com Clearly a ponzi, with interest rates above 8% per day. Not that many members as yet and so very risky. Am not playing in this one. A reader has brought to my attention that fact that FastMarket may be just under six months old. That is significant because investments that have been logged with FM early on will begin to mature soon and hence FM will have to pay out the principals, if they are requested. Many of the other programs that reached that date ran with the money (SYNCinvest, Prime-Fund, Z1, etc.). So the speculation is that FM will be in that position soon. Will they run? I suspect that they will try to collect more money in the form of some enticement. So look for such an announcement. In the meantime I will continue to tell you to take out as much as you can. You can’t do much about your compounding accounts, I know. Those are locked in for a period of 30 days. But make sure you change the rollover to zero so you can at least get your interest out. Apparently you can w/d your principal but at a 20% penalty. I see no function there to do it (at FastMarket), so I think if you do decide to do that you will need to open up a support ticket. I will be adding Private Investors Union soon, here in the BLOG and to the Reviews page. Why? It seems to be a legitimate program that offers up to 12% ROI per month and they appear to be trading in Securities and in ForeX. There are several plans. I’ve put money into the 1 yr. 12% per month plan. My referral URL will be http://www.private-investors-union.com/kookoo/ I expect that to be active some time on Monday (you can’t just get a referral URL from these folks, you need to qualify for it.) Upgrading your account at 12DailyPro: Make sure you have NOT surfed 12 pages on the day you wish to upgrade! Else you will need to upgrade the next day! You can have 2 upgrades going, the sume of which must be less than or equal to $6K. Am taking the plunge folks, tomorrow I will put in $3K! Wish I had $6K. In any case, 44% of $3K is a cool $1320 USD profit after 12 days. Can’t complain about that! And can’t trust any other surf program, not just yet! Nov. 25th (Friday) Dividend Master: It’s 9 days old. They’ve taken in only 11K$, that’s not much. So tonight they are launching a campaign whereby they give you 130% in just two days. Not good. Ponzi. But, if it takes off because of today’s offer (8 PM EST) you may be able to make a profit. Now here is something weird: when you attempt to deposit funds you will see only the basic plan of 2% daily. But if you click on Your Deposits you will see three plans, the basic one, and another at 10% daily, and another at 200% but there is no explanation of that last one. DailY? Weekly? Monthly? My feeling and conclusion is: These folks are amateurs! They don’t even know how to set up the GoldCoders Script! The plans are not only unclear, but are not presented to you in full when you attempt to make a deposit! So I would stay clear of this one! OK? http://nixgold.com/ Do not play in this one, I will not. Just collecting the cash and will run soon. Open 2 days. From 55% per day to 138% after three days. This is just a cycler. A ponzi. FastMarket: Here is something I was unaware of. In the FAQs it states: Q:I have $100 in my compounding account. If I add $1000 one day before the end of a 30 days period, for a total of $1100, will I get interest for $1100 for the whole past compounding period? A: No. Your compounding account is reset to ZERO days each time you add money to it. So if you add $1000 one day before the 30 days period is over, this will only mean that you will get interest for the whole $1100 after ANOTHER 30 days. It would be a good idea to treat each of your investments in the compounding plan as a separate investment and create separate compounding accounts for each of them. So for instance, if you received some commissions and wish to invest them, do not transfer them to your current compounding account, instead create a new compounding account and transfer them there. It has been brought to my attention that the above Q&A is not correct. Someone else has been adding to the compounding account and the interest has been calculated correctly. And come to think of it, so have I and it’s been fine. So don’t worry about it. The Norton/Symantec firewall is a pain in the ass! Forget it! ZoneAlarm is MUCH better! I’ve been using it ever since it came out, tried Norton recently and let me tell you, what a pain in the butt! http://www.freewebs.com/datindall/ Ugh. No thanks. Nov. 24th (Thursday) The 12DailyPro copycats are coming out of the woodwork! There’s TenDailyPro.com, and even a 25DailyPro! All of them use the same script. I don’t think the 25% a day one will survive for long, so that’s a high risk to you. Am currently testing out the TenDailyPro one with $100 and will get a 200% ROI at the end of 20 days. If they survive that long I will add it to the Reviews page. Oh and I forgot about Power2surf.com, am testing this one right now. Same 12DP script! It seems like the Pay to Surf sites are back to a feeding frenzy, while ST goes down. http://power2surf.com/pr.php Take a look at these payout rules at this site. No thanks! Too complicated. It may indeed ensure the longevity of the system, but those who are unable to recruit effectively will suffer. Am sure I can do allright, but some of you will not, hence am not going to promote this one. I am shouting from the snow tops! Just 3 minutes ago I withdrew over $1.9K USD from FastMarket! My interest just rolled over today and I had no trouble withdrawing! Thank you FastMarket! “11/24/2005 19:38:13 Withdrawal 8732241703 E-gold -1,937.96” Ok, at this point I would beseech those of you who have put in a lot of money into FM to take profit. Some of you have put in over ten grand, I know. I am hoping that you have been smart enough, and not too greedy, to have taken out your interest instead of rolling it over so that you have by now recovered most, if not all, of your principal. I know they are running well, but all things come to an end and I don’t want you to be stuck with a loss in this one. 10K$ deposit, at 1% per day, that’s $3K per month and after three months or so you should now have recovered that. Now I would take some profit, and roll some over, take some profit, roll some over. Or do not be greedy and just continue to take profit. By all this I do not mean to indicate that they are about to run. Right now there are no such signs. But... read their BLOG. They do indicate that Nov. and Dec. are months of volatility and perhaps turmoil. That may be a hint. I am going to list yet another two Paid Survey sites (two are already listed, on the Reviews page). Here is the third: ExpressPaidSurveys. Now this one and the other two give you an easy way to make money. Why not get paid for your opinion? The advantage of signing up for the $40 odd with ExpressPaidSurveys and the other two I’ve listed already is that these have large databases of Market Research Companies that are begging for your opinion, and will pay you. It may initially be a slow start for you, but persist and you will get more and more surveys to fill out. That could be the difference between you paying your monthly car load or rent out of your own pocket, or earning that each and every month just by spending an hour or two a day. Here is the fourth one: Survey-Platinum. Get paid $5.00 - $150.00 for taking Online Surveys Get Paid up to $250.00 for participating in focus groups Get paid up to $100.00 for participating in phone surveys Try new products for FREE and get paid, also. Get paid to read emails Get paid to drive a car Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the U.S. of A. Here is an interesting thought from M: “Hello! I just wanna add some info about hyipscammers that I have picked up at some places. I have heard at several places that hyipscammers is one of those places that blackmails legit (or at least quite legit) hyips to pay them money or they will list them as scams on their pages, I do not know if this is true though, but as seeing many programs that has been running for the longest without too many glitches I tend to believe this (as feederfund and vaol investment, and they’re too investigate global mutual they say, I am only in FF of these programs though, but they are one’s of the few still running without too much complaints since I was introduced to this biz this spring).” Look at the info here re ST. One of the letters requires Draconian measures on our part. They are basically putting a gun to our heads and telling us that unless we comply with at least one of the options, we can’t earn. By the way, they are lying, because I have never replied to any such demand from ST and am not blocked from surfing. So why am I not blocked? I’ll tell you: I have not withdrawn a single penny from ST yet and just keep upgrading. So am in their good graces. So am I motivated to surf? No. Am I motivated to promote ST? No. Do I think you should put money in this one? Absolutely not! You don’t threaten your supporters/clients and hope to survive in this business. You also don’t put a gun to their heads. http://www.321gold.com/editorials/chapman_d/chapman_d_112305.html A very good read, if you don’t fall asleep! I think it is quite important! Nov. 23rd (Wednesday) Vortex: Those of you who have signed up with me using my voucher, just sit tight. Am trying to get you in near the top of the matrix, where I am. Right now they are swamped and will work out a solution for me. I may have to have you all join again under me using a new voucher, and then get in the 2x20 matrix. Why Johnny can’t trade: http://www.moneytide.com/hans/johnny.html I’ve just received a warning that http://rainsurf.com is a scam. The scammers have duplicated many aspects of 12DailyPro. But...I cannot confirm this. Just beware. http://www.safe-holdings.com/ This one seems to be an honest one. The Admin says he’s a trader himself, in ForEx, betting (arbitrage?), etc.. Average return is near 10% per week. Pays out every Friday. Website is very simple, there is a Forum. Folks seem to be trusting this one. Hmmmm.... gut feel says this one is ok. I’ve put in $200 to test this out. If you decide to play, in the E-mail / Referrer box put your e-mail address / 1610172 (the last is my e-gold ID). For finding others, instruct them similarly. The current website does not have a backoffice for you to check your stats. So wait until each Friday and he tells you how much you have earned and accumulated. He’s planning a new website which may offer those features. He’s been operating almost five months now without any trouble (anukanb@gmail.com) Here is one that I’ve looked at before but have done nothing with it: https://www.cgfin.com/cl/?ref=kookoo The ROI’s are well below the ponzi range, and if you examine their site you will have the impression that they trade in many different vehicles. Certainly the ROIs are consistent with such trading activity. So this may be yet another honest and legit programme to participate in. ROI’s are less than 2% per week, yes, per week. Some are higher, depending on the size of your spend. BUT! Read this (I got this from a scam site: http://www.hyipscammers.com/ ): 4) CG Financial Ltd. URL:https://www.cgfin.com/ Comments: Mexican scam. IP: 201.124.170.44 Hostname: dsl-201-124-170-44.prod-infinitum.com.mx Location: Mexico, Mexica Source where we have found this IP: email headers, server logs But! My DD shows that the IP address is: 200.46.204.57 and not what’s reported above. The Admin Contact appears to be located in Charlestown, KN, USA. But the server is in Panama. So am not sure that the scam site I looked at has accurate info. If this is a scam, it certainly is a conservative one! Am trying to contact the Admin at hyipscammers.com to resolve this issue. Nov. 22nd (Tuesday) StudioTraffic: I write this at the risk of having my account blocked/closed/burned etc.. I was right in thinking that they are in trouble! They have indeed blocked various accounts across the USA! I have now more than a few reports! Some have been blocked for over a week and have been reinstated when they agreed to compound their interest! Meaning.... you keep upgrading and not taking any money out and we will allow you to surf! Shit! So they really ARE in trouble. Am not sure what you can do to get your money out! I myself have not taken a penny out since I started. But I only put in $108 so am not going to cry about it, even though am at near the $1K upgrade level. All I am indicating to you is: do NOT put in any more money out of pocket in ST! And get as much as you can out ASAP! They are going down! Here is yet another Pay-To-Surf site, although I don’t think it will survive against 12DailyPro: http://www.tendaily.com/doorway.php?ref=2512 They pay 10% for 20 days. That’s a 200% ROI. Or 100% profit. You must surf 20 sites per day (auto) for 20 consecutive days. Payday will always be the 20th of each month. That’s very strange. So you could end up not being paid for a while, until the calendar reaches the 20th of a month and you will be paid on the previous balance. And they only accept Stormpay. So for those of you in other countries where $20 is a lot of money, you will suffer form the 6.9% fees from Stormpay. The script seems to be identical to the one used by 12Dailypro! They started on 10th June, 2005. Site seems to be quite slow, according to alexa. 67% of sites on the ‘net are faster! Out of Utah, USA. Well, not sure. Should I put in a test spend? Over the next 20 days? That’s a lot of days for a Pay to Surf site to crash! Many have. Hmmmmmmm...... My gut feel is they will last another 30 days, no more. So it’s up to you. Am going to put in $100 USD. Yep, this is exactly the script used by 12DailyPro! HYIPFever: 3rd session has ended. Yawn. So what? No one is interested any longer. “We’ve collected 100,000, paid out 80,000, kept 20,000, so now the session ends.” Am not saying this is the case, but it looks bad. I think most folks are avoiding this one and the other copycat. OK, I will remind you: NetIBA certification by a site does not amount to much, so you can just ignore it. Am also NetIBA certified! All I had to do was provide an email address, pay $9.95 or so for a full year, answer a verification e-mail, and they found my phone number in a database so they never talked to me. That’s the extent! And I believe they are owned by Stormpay! So don’t trust any sites that sport that logo! It means nothing. 99% or more of the programs out there are scams, intentional and not. Some folks are honest and wish to run some programs for a long time, but fail for many reasons, usually due to gamblers running to other programs. But....most are not going to work out. So it is a jungle out there, no matter how much DD (Due Diligence or Research) you do. Witness the recent admission by TeamAaronandShara re GCISurf. I don't blame them. My gut feel kept me out of it, and I think we all must trust this more and more, and forget the brain/mind for the most part. It is our solar plexus brain that is in touch with all that's "out there". Some call this our gut feel. Some call it intuition. It’s the same thing. So learn to trust your instincts. When you look at an opportunity, your FIRST intuition about it, or that small inner voice, is correct! If you keep analyzing and thinking about it, you will likely come to the wrong conclusion and decide wrongly. So trust your FIRST IMPRESSION! Stay away from this program. It will either shut down and run soon, or will be shut down: http://gold-force.com/?ref=derik71170 120% to 170% within 3 days return. Absolutely bogus! Just collecting the money! http://wealth-club.org/?ref=riverman110 Look at this: “A few minutes Downtime about SSL and IP We get a new IP and SSL will be setuped! This why we was facing yesterday and maybe today a few minutes downtime! Site is working full, no need to worry. more Nov-21-2005 08:21:21 PM” Impressive English grammar, right? For sure! This one is run out of Hong Kong. I don’t trust it. “Q: What is the Wealth-Club? A: We are a network of business people, who invest in The Penny Stock Market, Forex, Gold and Real Estate. Our Partners also Invest in Internet Investments and Systemycie Investments through the Internet.” Well, probably without a license. Just opened! Online Since: 01-Oct-2005 So these guys have no track record whatsoever! Why then should you trust them? I don’t. http://www.dautu-invest.com/ This is an obvious ponzi and I would stay away from it. Run out of California. Started Nov. 2nd. The ROI’s are well above the ponzi range even. They sure are not investing in ForEx with those ROIs! And I think they are not a team of experts, but just one person, below: if that’s the right contact info. Sorry. But those ROIs are just too high. Most of these fail or run within days! Gale Luquette PO Box 99800 EmeryVille, CA 94662 US +1 510 595 2002 contact@myprivateregistration.com This site (9PlanetReviews) has been down for a while today because my ISP has been moving data centers (switching offices, fiber optics, etc.). Look at the audacity of the GCISurf scammers! Am glad I did not list this one nor invested anything in there. “GCIsurf.com To all the members of GCIsurf.com, These of you that thinks we can be caught or you can complain the autorithy from us,its better to give up because it is not possible to catch us. Only we know who we are - but it isn't possible for someone else to know who really operates the program. From the beggning our plan was to protect ourselves if the program fall. Here is the plan which does not allows us to do a risk: First we have phone cards with numbers + 359 885 363155 / +359 885 363154 which can't be tracked and they are anonymous.It is like buying an ice cream from the shop (no names, no information at all!) The adress listed in our whois information is not real and we are from Plovdiv. We operated the program from PC clubs and it's anonymous again , we just come in the club , pay for hour , two , ten and we sit down on the PC and work. We used stollen documents to confirm ourselves in the TAS newsletter and Intgold , stormpay ... (we made few unreal letters for TAS as attorney letters , bank statements with unreal signs and seals and stamps made from us .... we paid one kid to rent a postal box again with stollen documents to get our anonymous debit cards and the stormpay - netiba letters. With the anonymous debit cards we took some money for us , the cards are on funny names because the company gcard doesn't ask for confirmation and even if do it we have the stollen documents of Aleksandar .... 50% from the ATM machines here doesn't have cameras - we used such ATMs (my partner is working in bank) and it is impossible someone to see our faces No matter the faces ,the goverment doesn't have system to catch us via the faces It's really funny and it isn't USA, be sure Third world rulzzz!!!!!! In short : we have not given our names anywhere ,noone have seen our faces , we didn't operate from homes (we are going to buy homes later - we don't have such now ) We are living in hotels right now. GCIDealing LTD - isn't real company ofcourse! We paid for the hosting and the other things via e-gold. We can't process refunds or payouts. I wish you good luck with your next programs and before investing please make your own DD and do it good or you can easily loose. Regards, Sasho - my name isn't Sasho my name is Great gcisurf manager” Nov. 21st (Monday) Hi folks, just got back from my trip and will be doing some updates likely tomorrow. I really enjoyed the time with my daughter, and will likely go and seen her again in a month, for Christmas. I’m hoping for that. Should be no reason, as I don’t have a 9 to 5 job, but a YOB. You know? It’s good to be able to wake up when I want, go to sleep when I want, step out when I want? And I now many of you are reading this site because that’s what YOU want! Yes, I know. And I feel for you. I’ve been with you a long time, and finally broke free of the yoke of the 9 to 5. And am hoping some of you will come on board. I will do my best to help you! I promise. Poetry.com: These folks are such opportunists that they are willing to lie to you in order to get your subscription to their service. Why do I say this? Because I don’t believe a word they say! I wrote a short poem (Aching Greed) and they are telling me that it is being now entered into the next phase, whatever that is. As if my poem was any good! I just can’t believe it. The greed is in all niches! Shit! But hey, I may just win 1,000 USD or 10,000 USD! Yeah right! I just hate this Western scramble for fame, name, game, and money! There is no understanding of the pride of the poor, real love, real understanding, real pride, real life. GCISurf: These guys are gone and were total scammers. How do you like that? Shit. And to think that I liked them! Pinnacle profits Admin has shut down and refunded everyone. Despite the many signups, only about 19 folks actually put money in, hence the Admin felt that it was not worthwhile managing such a low amount of money on your behalf. Now that’s a nice guy! And honest! I will heartily tell you about any of his other programs that he chooses to launch! Who do you know that launches a programme, does not get enough partaking in it, and chooses to shut down and refund everyone? Wow. Now THAT is honest! I commend him. It seems that GCISurf is having some problems. As many other surf-for-pay programmes are, except for 12DailyPro! (use Previews page to find the review). Nov. 20th (Sunday) http://ponzex.com/ This is almost an exact copy of the HYIPfever, right down to restarting the ponzi when w/d's reach 80% of deposits. All the stuff about "please don't be afraid" to make bigger or smaller deposits is garbage. The game will close at 80% w/d's! And as you can see it's already running 13 days and the deposits are piddling, meaning very small, hence the game is NOT catching on, and hence your risk is extremely high! Don't even waste your $20 in this one. And speaking of HYIPFever? Yawn. So now we have at least two HYIPs out there that come out up front and tell you that they are ponzi games and invite you to play. And? Well, both are now not very popular at all. What does that tell me? It tells me that people still prefer to be blindfolded as to the nature of the HYIP they are playing in. They may suspect that it’s a ponzi, but they don’t know for sure. And that makes it more exciting for the gamblers out there. If they are told by the Admin that it is a ponzi, then that feeling of danger is gone, I guess. And so they do not bother to play. Every gambler (even if the person does not admit to being a gambler) secretly loves a mystery, and does not want to be told that it’s a ponzi and best not to play. So my feeling is that those Admin who honestly admit that they are running a ponzi will not succeed in attracting a lot of players. Human nature, I guess. It’s an interesting world we live in, right? Nov. 19th (Saturday) ClixSurf Admin are a bunch of incompetent fools or scammers. They claim that their e-gold account was hacked and that the hackers got away with $46k, which includes my $300 USD. Well am sorry but that is hard to swallow. First off, an e-gold account at e-gold.com cannot be hacked, else other accounts would be affected. Secondly, if the hackers did get the Admin’s password to their e-gold account, they would also have had to have access to the Admin’s e-mail account in order to answer the Sentinel’s PIN challenge! That means either it was an inside job by someone close to the Admin, or by the Admin, or the hacker obtained enough info on the e-mail account, including POP3 and password so that the hacker could intercept the Sentinel challenge via webmail. Again, either the Admin’s security procedures were extremely lax or this was an inside job. Whatever the case, the Admin of ClixSurf is fully responsible. And don’t bother giving us any excuses! Don’ blame it on a keylogger, spyware, or anything else. The security of your PC, your e-gold account, and our funds is and was, in your hands (speaking to the Admin of ClixSurf)! And I hope that many readers will send an e-mail to the Admin expressing the same sentiment. Well amidst the bad news of various Paid to Surf programs failing, it is good to hear that 12DailyPro is doing so well. I have nothing by happy folks reporting to me on that. Nevin, one of my readers mentions that if you have referrals in 12DP then make sure you have at least a $6 upgrade always going so that your commissions do not drop from 6% to 3%. In my case, I won’t worry about that because am going to have two overlapping upgrades going at all times. I recently put in $504 USD and as soon as I get home (Monday evening), I will put in another upgrade at at least $1K USD. It is my feeling that quite a few folks are moving over the 12DailyPro and that’s good for all of us. I will have more updates and reviews for you on Sunday evening and thence forward. Nov. 18th (Friday) If you go to https://members.fastmarket.com you will see this comforting message: “Dear Members, we are upgrading the database, account access will be available today. Sorry for the inconvience. ---- Technical Support” And I hope it is true! It seems that it may be true, due to login problems. Again, cross your fingers and think positive thoughts here. (PS: The Rosicrucians introduced this gesture, apparently it helps to concentrates the thoughts that come out of your brain core and go out into the phenomenal world of cause and effect.) PAID TO SURF: If you are going to put some serious money into paid-for-surf sites, here is some advice: Sign up with several, such as 12DailyPro, CLIXSurf, and a few others which I will review shortly, put in a substantial amount of money into each (whatever that is to you) and make sure you have a backup Internet Connection! Why? Let’s say you put in $5K into 12DailyPro. In this one you MUST surf each and every day. What if you forget one day? Too much going on? Party? In this case you will lose $500 x 12% = $600 USD! What if your connection to say, Comcast Cable, is down for a day? Guess what? You lose $600 USD that day. And if you signed up with other, similar, surf sites that require you to surf each day? That’s more money lost! When I spent some time as Tech Support for Comcast I had a number of customers screaming at me because I could not restore their connection. They were losing money daily! One day I asked one of them: “Don’t you think it’s a good idea to have at least a dialup backup connection?” D’oh! No, he did not think of it, or was probably too cheap! So if you’re going to be in the business of making money daily with surf exchanges, especially those that require you to surf daily, you had better have two Internet Connections. The cost, compared to what you could be making, is minimal. I myself have both a high speed ADSL connection (2Mbps uplink, 3Mbps downlink) and a cable modem connection (64Kbps up/down). That 64 Kbps does not look like much, but I tell you it is not that much slower than the ADSL connection, at least in perception. And it’s only another $8 per month. So do the right thing! http://west-business.com/?12349 : Hidden behind a proxy server, server is in PA, USA. No idea who is running this one. ROIs range from 1.2% to 3.7% daily. Online since Aug. 24th, 2005. Traffic, not on the alexa radar. Interest varies according to dollar amount, up to 2K and beyond. But this dollar amount is piddling and cannot be an influence on the ROI. Hence in most likely hood this is a ponzi game and they are not investing anywhere. Play at your own risk. Am not going to, bitten once too often. Nov. 17th (Thursday) Myself and Peter K are having trouble signing in to FastMarket. I had them send me a password twice now and I can’t get in. I am hoping this is NOT a sign that they are running. Can any of you sign in? Check it out! It could merely be a tech issue, I don’t know. As well, I was able to make a w/d to e-gold just a few days ago, while Peter has not been able to. Everyone has rated this one very high, as I have, although some of us have had suspicions that they can’t be for real. But they still have performed very well for many a moon. Cross your fingers and think positive thoughts on this one for the next few days. Well I arrived safely at my destination. There were clouds throughout the drive but the temperature was high enough that there was no sleet nor snow. After 8.5 hours, finally there! Sorry I did not spend any time with reviews yesterday. I may do a couple today. For some reason by OE client will not connect to my mail server, I may have to reinstall OE or the accounts. What a pain. For now am using Webmail, so please do not send too many emails as I have no filters set up and it’s a mess! OK. Now my daughter (11 yr. old) is going to drag me around until am dead. See you all later! I will check in again this afternoon and see if I can’t answer a few e-mails and review a couple of sites. Nov. 15th (Tuesday) Don’t expect too many updates daily over the next five days as am seeing my daughter in Quebec. I will head off tomorrow morning. Wish me luck. The weather is turning bad now. Sleet and snow. HYIPfever has just started their third session. The last one was boring and I lost about $30. In this third session they are playing with the higher ROIs per day for 4 days, 30 to 31% per day. Am going to wait until tomorrow to see how the deposits are going. dxprivate.com: Run out of Hong Kong, likely by some Chinese folks. Almost one year old. I’d be careful. From 1% to 2.7% daily. They have sustained this almost one year now. That’s impressive. I wonder how much longer they can do it. Am not guiding you either way. Just consider that. Vortex: Am told that you should not worry if you have not received your username/passcode to enter VIPtravel. You will at some point get that, but you are already in there as they imported everyone. They will also continue the voucher offer so you should continue to advertise your vouchers. Right now they are sorting out my account(s), I hope. As none of you got imported into my first username/VIP travel Account. Am sure that will get resolved so don’t worry. In any case, you have not spent anything yet, so let’s see what happens. A reader asked me to review this German site: http://www.cashpayway.com/index.php?ref=40747 Well my German is rusty, but from what I can figure out it seems to be a Gold Exchange and is launching Dec. 31st, so they are in pre-launch. First in Europe and then world-wide. Well for sure, they need an English website. But seems the official start is Jan. 1st 2006. Registered in Germany. Server is also in Germany. Although, this may not be a Gold Exchange, but a survey or gold for e-mail site. As I said, my Deutsch is rusty. Could be both. Seems to mention credit cards as well. Above is not my URL. Am not sure what to do about this one. Oh and one more thing, they give you either 25 USD or 25 Euro free until Dec. 1st. I think it is likely Euro. www.adprofitsonline.com/9550EU Not my URL. Well, yet another paid to read ads site. Am not too excited about it. I hate to be forced to read stuff every day. Sometimes I forget. But that’s me. Looks ok, decide for yourself. Go to the site and read about it. You know? A lot of these programs make it seem like the size of your spend will determine the ROI daily! Well that’s just bullshit, unless you have over a million to spend! So programs like this one: http://www.bestsafeinvest.com/index.php?r=853 are clear ponzis. Any program that gives you a higher percent the more money you give them is bullcrap. Kilbasa. Baloney. You know? Not my link. So it’s yet another ponzi. Interest rate should vary according to market forces! Not by how much money you put in! Again, unless you have a few million to put in. These scammers know that you don’t understand this, or most of you, right? But, you are getting educated. Nov. 14th (Monday) Look for an update tonight re RYIP. It’s all good. We have found that it takes longer to get money out of our pay processors and into our trading account. It’s something like 5 days. I’m not so sure I like this surf program: http://clixsurf.mybusinesshaven.com/index.php?clix_id=4723 Basically, is a manual surf program and you must click on ads to earn. The amount you earn is based on your upgrade: 2% of your upgrade. So if you put in 100$ the most costly ad you can view is worth two dollars. But my thinking is that most of the ads will be in the pennies range! So you are going to have to click on a lot of ads to get that 10% daily! As for referral commissions? 10%, but you would have had to upgrade! I have not as yet, as I feel this one is going to take a lot of my time in front of the screen clicking on a lot of useless ads! What do you think? Anyone joined this one yet? Well I now have some confirmation from one member. Surf time is less then five minutes and so that’s a good sign! Am going to invest in this one, try it out and so on. Will report on a daily basis. OK, I’ve put in $300 into this one and am surfing right now. Wow! Am impressed. Earned ten bucks in just one minute! Wow, am surprised that some folks with GCISurf would pay five bucks for viewing their site for 15 seconds! Wonder how long this will continue! Ugh! I made a mistake. I just earned $30 USD on the above, and decided to use those for an upgrade. Well, it created a separate fund transaction for $30. So now am surfing sixty cent ads! Ugh! But if that’s all you have, fine, go for it. The problem with the low upgrades is that for instance after getting 10% of the thirty bucks, which is three whole dollars, the surfing stops! Until the next day. So this is one where you can make the most money by depositing a rather LARGE amount! Finally, you may find it hard to find where to click to begin surfing! Let me help you: click on the upgrade you just made. That’s it. I have just added this one to the Reviews page, so log in to your 9PR site, Programs, and put in your own ID for this one so that YOU benefit, not I. Or don’t, then I will benefit! Khhhh. http://www.au-investor.com/index.php?ref=kookoo 1% per day guaranteed (according to the Admin). It looks like and has the same look and feel, of a script from e-TradeXchange, or SFIpay owners of that. The 1% is based on gold trades, or e-gold trades. So why launch another one? Just because that’s the fashion these days? I wonder. Behind a proxy and server is on the Golden Compass network. Funny, so is e-TradeXchange.com! Is this a coincidence? I don’t think so. Ok, so then the Admin is likely John Kirk of SFIpay.com. And is that good? I suppose. But still, why launch yet another one? Is it because e-TradeXchange is doing badly? Well, if John Kirk reads my BLOG, perhaps he will send a note. By the way, AU is the symbol for gold, not Australia in this case. Looks like it’s all in the family. Sounds like David Disman is an owner in SFIpay, and has “sold” the script to Joson Disman, his oldest son. Hence “very trustworthy”. But that’s competitioon with e-TradeXcahnge! Bad move, I would say. Did they think this was not going to be discovered? Thanks to the Dear Doctor for that info. Of course am assuming that David Disman is an owner of e-TradeXchange. So what am I saying to you? Well, based on the recent performance, or non-performance of e-TradeXchange, am not going to play! Jason, the owner of this venture says: “No. E-TradeXchange is a customer of ours. They buy e-gold from us.” http://200hyip.com/?ref=eassadi Here is one that deserves to be shut down ASAP, before more folks lose their money. From 150% to 200% just after two days! Are you prepared to risk your money in this one?. Look at that! Half an hour after I post this, they’ve already run! No website in place! Vortex is taking a bit longer right now to send out the usernames and passcodes to enable you to get into that 2x20 matrix. Just be patient. And it seems the campaign to bring in founding members (those who sign up using the voucher they were sent) may extend to this Friday, so that’s good news. 12DailyPro: I’ve just put in $504 USD, but am going on a trip to see my daughter, will have to use dialup and not forget to surf each day! (if you have not signed up, consider it, use the Reviews page to do so.) There is a new competitor to 12Dailypro which has three plans, you progress from one to the other. It starts at 10% per day. Well, if I ever get my confirmation mail from them, I will discuss them. Half an hour after sign up I still do not have a confirmation/activation e-mail, else I can’t log in. But in thinking about it, why not go straight to 12Dailypro and get 12% right from the start? StudioTraffic: It is unfortunate, but the news I get is that they are going down. They are not paying US members. ST owners say that they are going into China and encourage members to keep promoting, while being unpaid, and many unable to surf! And am thinking, going into China? Are they nuts? Sure there are a lot of people in China, but most of them are dirt poor! Only an elite few have enough money to join such a venture. One of my readers, Nevin, suggests that you NOT copy and paste your passwords for the various opportunities you are in and your e-gold and other pay processor accounts as there is an exploit out there that can grab that data. If the login panel has a virtual keyboard then use that. Otherwise install a package like Spyware Doctor (see Reviews page) which also contains an anti-keylogger and you’ll be safe. Nevin also recommends you have two e-gold accounts, one private, and one for business. And don’t divulge the private account info to anyone but your cat. In addition, always go to the e-gold site not via the domain name, but via their IP address: https://63.240.230.10/ Bookmark (add to Favorites) that and use that from now on. When you are paying someone or some HYIP, when the e-gold shopping cart page comes up, click on the gold key and make sure that the certificate was issued to www.e-gold.com and that the certificate was issued by verisign and is valid from 11/22/2004 to 12/1/2006. You can also review the certificate details and make sure the certificate serial number is: F84F 522C E958 A443 5A37 8934 6D77 2D70 096C 6A82 Dornstetten.net: Nevin says that he once saw a scam list where Dornstetten.net was listed as a scam. D’oh! And.... looks like they are gone! Key in target: Dornsteten.net scammers, launch sequence verified, targeting......, ready. Launch! Nov. 13th (Sunday) HYIPFever: Basically and my own opinion only? They lost lots of clients on that first one. And it is not very exciting from now on. That’s it. Nice concept, but, who cares? By the way, they were not the first with this concept. There was a cycler that tried the same thing. They would close each Friday and wipe out the accounts. Of course there was a backlash! Holy RED! Dornstetten.net is a real scam! Do not attempt to withdraw! You will see this URL up above when you attempt it: http://ww.w-e-gold.com/sci_asp/payments.asp Notice the dot between the ww and w! Crap! Bucking scammers! When you w/d check that URL carefully! I don’t want to shut this one down right now, else for sure you will lose all your money, on the other hand, you will lose all your money regardless! Damn! And this one looked good. I’m sorry folks. Too many sharks. Thanks to Susan for the alert on this. That looks a like an e-gold page should NEVER come up on a w/d! Thank God for Susan! If I made that .005 to them, they would have got a-hold of my password and so on and emptied my e-gold account! Maybe! The question is how are they intercepting the PIN email? Because if they attempt to access the account with the right account number and password, the IP is different! Hence they will get a PIN challenge. How are they getting around this? Unless they capture your IP and somehow fake their own IP address? I suppose this could be done. Sorry guys and gals. Not too many updates on a Sunday. As well, am leaving to see my daughter in Quebec on Wednesday, but am taking my laptop an will spend a couple of hours each day updating this site and answering e-mails. Happy Turkey day for those of you in the US (or is that over? or is it Monday?). Sorry, am a Canadian, so don’t know every holiday in the USA. But I do have a smoked Turkey leg, which I may ingest tonight! Woohoo! Don’t go for any Turkey HYIPs! Honest. Pinnacle Profits: Folks, I’ve had over 30 signups and only three have deposits. Am not sure what the other 27 are waiting for. Some free money? What is the problem? Why sign up for free and then not put in a deposit? This is very strange! You don’t trust the Admin? You’re out of money but are signing up for free just for the fun of it? Am puzzled about this one. Maybe you’d like to lose some bucks in HYIPFever? Or some other? Is the percent ROI per day too low? Did you want it in the ponzi range? Give me some feedback, because I know the Admin, he’s honest, and always tries to do the right thing. You know? I love to see people succeed. In all kinds of life. I especially love to see people succeed in the music industry, or in music. I just love to see folks succeed in a system that is not built on success (by which I mean our society). I just love to see them conquer or overcome the barriers to personal freedom. You know? I just love it! I guess that is why I keep this website up. Not for my success. But for someone, who comes along, gets it, and makes good bucks. But you know, that’s not all there is to success or love. It’s not. So am hoping you get it. Life is not about money! Life is about love, forgiving, that wonderful feeling you get when you truly forgive! Or help someone, and not be known! Isn’t it? Sure it is. Just try it. Help someone and resist the temptation to being known who has helped. You will find the true feeling of love. I urge you. http://www.1mpo4u.com/mpotour.asp?i=7115187 Yawn. Sorry folks. Not too interesting. At least to me! http://thanksgivinghyip.com/?ref=candice Forget it! It won’t work out. You’ll be the turkey! Nov. 12th (Saturday) http://www.aweber.com/?208537 This is simply THE BEST Autoresponder and LIST service I have ever used or come across. The response is instant! Within seconds. Many others take minutes, hours, or days to send out your message or respond to an inquiry with a prebuilt message! I’ll tell you more about this later on, but I have just tested out GetResponse last night and the response was abysmal! I realized that my Alert Service list was with Aweber but have never used their autoresponder service until last night and today! And so I set up an autoresponder for the vortex campaign... and it showed an instant response time! I love it! You should use this service if you wish to have a great response time and also to be sure your messages get delivered. (No, I don’t like RobotReply! And the UFD ARs are just too slow!) I guess HYIPFever, in it’s second life, is not doing so well. Not like the first one. And frankly, yawn, I too did not deposit as much as I did in the first. Now maybe this game will catch on, or most likely it will die. I doubt there will be a third session. At least that’s the way things look to this reviewer. I’ve already signed up 31 folks with Vortex (Get back to me ASAP if you wish an invite). See the info in my BLOG entry just below for Nov. 11th. Now, those of you who have not only used the voucher I sent you, but who have also signed up with viptravel and got into the 2x20 matrix, are now profiting from my efforts due to spillover. You are as well going to profit from the Company efforts as they bring in the rest of the 50,000 by end of Monday (of course not all will sign up). Then they will focus on the four companies that have asked to join, a total of about 100,000 members. Those will be placed below you and I. Now, I am willing to help those of you who HAVE signed up with vipmarketing (and I can check this easily) who are having trouble getting others to sign up using their vouchers and become a pace setter (it only takes one signup). If you are one of them, send me your VOUCHER (just one of your vouchers out of four) and I will stick that in my autoresponder so that when someone asks for info using the above link, will get YOUR voucher. OK? Now don’t all send at once! Har! Send it! And I remind you. It is useless for you to become a Pacesetter, not having signed up with viptravel for 14.95 per month, as you will NOT be in the 2x20 matrix! So if you have not, don’t bother asking me to use your voucher. I will rotate vouchers, 1 per every 4 hours or so. Except when am sleeping. Please do NOT ask me when your vouchers will arrive. You will get an email from Brad Harris or someone else with your voucher details. As well Brad will send you a letter telling you how you can sign up with viptravel and give you an id for that. Nat, with voucher VMS1-68013 is having the benefit of my autoresponder to the Vortex query above and below, as he is he first to rspond with his voucher. I guess most others are just finding it hard to follow the instructions? Not sure. But the system is automated, so folks should have no trouble getting their own four vouchers! I had no such trouble. Although, if you’re drunk when you do this? May cause a bit of confusion. And listen up: these vouchers are worth a cool $199 and will be discontinued soon. They show you as being a founding member! So the next 100,000 will be placed below you! Don’t ignore it. Well by now you must know that StudioTraffic is in trouble. A recent letter to members basically says they’ve closed one of the (virtual) offices and are behind in payments. And have barred some members from surfing. Guess what. I’m not one of those barred. I wonder why. Hmmm.... could it be because I have never, ever, withdrawn any money! I think that they are in trouble because they are finding out that their model has a basic mathematical fault: as folks continue to upgrade their accounts out of earned dollars, rather than out of pocket, and at some point start withdrawing, they are finding that they can’t pay out everyone! That’s my conjecture. As well they are most likely losing a lot of folks to 12DailyPro. So am going to have to downgrade this one right now, as it is now a very high risk to put money in there out of pocket. But I guess I will keep surfing for the Monopoly money. I was right about the SECRET LAUNCH, right from the start I laughed it off, as soon as I saw that they were using a FreeWorld cycler script, so it could not be much of a secret! But I did not know who was behind it until I read Ken Russo’s update today. The person behind it is Steve Dewitt, who was also behind Global Ventures (and used a FreeWorld script as well!). Thanks to Ken and his friends for this confirmation and find. 12DailyPro must have read my BLOG. Because now am back to surfing only 12 pages. Har! Well, despite my calculations, I made 44%, as per spec. I have looked at this one (Canadian Diamond Traders) and my gut feel it is just a money pyramid. Not even sure if the diamonds are real. You know? So I have to decline on something am not sure about. I can't call it an outright scam, nor can I say it is legit. So I will have to leave it at that. But... Maybe I will make a mention of it and put in the URL that one of my readers sent me. There you go. Am pretty sure there is money to be made in this one. But my conscience tells me not to get involved in this one. So I leave it up to you. http://www.brightcoming.com/ref1730528.htm If the stats are true on this one, then they are about to run or die as withdrawals are at 80% of deposits. So they can’t last much longer, and whether or not this is a scam, it does not matter. Get out. But if you are going to get in for some odd reason, use one of my reader’s e-gold account numbers in the memo field: 16084818 Nov. 11th (Friday) Here is one that I’ve just put $501 USD into: Pinnacle Profits. I know the Admin and spoke with him for over a half hour yesterday. The script is custom made by him and the site looks clean and crisp. He offers three plans ranging from 1% to 2% ROI per day. Compounding is also available. This is an honest and experienced Admin who has run several other programs, including two MLM based programs. It is just launching today! I am playing in this one. Sign up for free and check out the site and the plans. Get back to me ASAP if you wish an invite to an opportunity that I feel can’t be missed. This Company has over 50,000 members and after you get in they will be bringing in another 100,000 from 4 downlines who have applied to join. They are sending out 5000 emails a day until Monday, then they will bring in 4 downlines on board, all under you and I if you take action right now. I’ll send you an invite code and a long email to read. But I think it’s worth it. I can’t advertise it yet. I’ve set up an autoresponder with the info in it so that you can get the info while I sleep, as it is time sensitive meaning that you should act well before Monday! But you will have to opt-in to my sending you the info by first clicking on the confirmation link in the first email you get. And seconds after you confirm you will have the info. WealthyAffiliate: (not my link) This one is worth looking at, although it is a monthly subscription vs a one time payment. They will help you start up your Affiliate business. The only thing that bugs me is that they claim that they are making quite a bit of money on the ‘net selling other people’s products, so why would they now want to help you do the same? I think the answer may be that their main source of income is selling this service. TheRichJerk on the other hand admits that he’s going to make money on his e-book, and even wants you to sell it for him at a 50% commission. So he’s pretty honest about that. Am not clear on how honest these guys are about that. I can’t really tell from their sales letter, except that they make no mention of this. A monthly $30 subscription, say with a 1000 members is not too shabby! Hey, if you were making $30K plus per month, would you take the time or bother to share how you are doing it with others? Including the keyword lists you use and so on. Hmmmmmm....... Nov. 10th (Thursday) www.textforme.com/solid Well I can’t play in this one as I don’t have a cell phone. But you can. Have a look. They pay you to receive text messages on your cell phone. I would think you should make sure that you don’t get charged by your cell Company for receiving calls. I don’t know, as I don’t have such a thing. R-YIP news: Those of you who have joined received David’s update. Basically you must remember that the interest is paid some time two days after the deposit is made. So it’s not on the third day, as your deposit has not yet made any interest/money. But on the 4th day and then daily from then on. So far so good. Here is a binary spillover matrix program: http://justme.22usd.com/ (not my URL). The person that sent this to me says another site says it’s a good one. Har! Sure, they have a one liner saying this one will last for years and that’s it. Good review, don’t you think? Spillover matrix programs, for the most part are hard to work, because it is hard to convince folks. Unlike OnlineEarningCenter (which is also a spillover matrix) this one only says they have digital products for you to sell, which you can get free elsewhere! But OnlineEarningCenter has actual tasks for you to fulfill (signups, surveys, and such) which actually pay you! So it has FAR more appeal than 22usd.com! So if you wish to play in 22usd.com, use the above url, sign up, and recruit like crazy! There is no way, even with spillover, that you will fill that matrix of 64K members, and by K I man 1024, not 1000. It’s a binary after all. Good luck to you! I just want to clear the air about something. To me, when I read my BLOG, it seems that I may be overly negative of most programs. Well you know, thinking about that, what’s my job in any case (free job)? Isn’t it to protect you, the reader, from losing your money, or losing too much money? Well, I can’t really protect you, but I can review the programs sent to me and those I find, and try to protect you (and myself, as I invest in some of them). Now, maybe you’re new to the World Wide Web/Internet? And don’t realize or know that the whole thing is a scam, a setup, to sell information and product to those who are looking for this (including money making opportunities). That may be a shocking statement. But it is true. Consider how hard it is to find what you’re looking for. Whereas if you go to a Library, guess what, there is a very good system put in place by trained Librarians, who have reviewed the various submissions, and have catalogued it according to a system that works. So if you’re looking for some information on this or that, I’ll bet you that you can find it very fast at your Library. Now try to find that info on the web. I dare you. Which search engine are you going to use? Which directory? Where do you start? And then you find a search engine (a gate keeper to the www) and try a query and get presented with all kinds of garbage that you have to sift through. How many minutes or hours later do you find what you’re looking for. My guess is, you probably have not! Instead you have been led to some website or other that has poor English, that tries to sell you something, or has irrelevant info! Basically, picture the www as a giant mesh of telephone lines. In fact, it is exactly that. But in the case of a Telephone setup, there is a directory, and index, that you can check, which is reliable, and you can find who or what you’re looking for! There is no such thing on the ‘net. Instead you have a plethora of “phone books” (search engines and directories), each of which is inconsistent with each other and who knows how accurate the info is? Do you see what I mean? There is no consistent filing system for information! So you’re stuck with muddling with the search engines or buying magazines that review sites for you. And the robber barons are trying to figure out, right this minute, how to corner and percent on each and every transaction done by you! But until they find a way of filing information, and then letting you find it consistently, they will not be able to collect. That’s why the search engines do not, and cannot, charge you for each search or query! But they are working on it! (I can elaborate on this much more, if you wish. Send me a note if you wish it.) In addition to all that, say you are looking for a genuine business opportunity so that you can make some money. That’s what they promise you, all those marketers that fill your Inbox with useless offers. But you end up finding opportunities that sell information, useless for the most part, or a compilation of other information from others, which do not really give you any clear instruction on how to make money on the ‘net. Or you end up buying useless e-books and courses on how to get some money. And again, they end up to be useless or detrimental to your pocket book. Now some of those opportunities do work out, that’s the ones am trying to find. The rest of them are either scams, or simply do not work out, because they are too hard to work for the ordinary person, even if there is spillover, for instance. So that’s why you see so many negative reviews on my site. It’s not because I hate them, or try to put them down intentionally. It’s because I’ve been in enough of them (12+ years MLM experience, and more) and most have not worked out, and most do not. So I hope you understand where am coming from. If I do find a good opportunity, I will also tell you about it, but those are few and far between, as they say. By the way, some who are making a lot of money on the ‘net would not tell you all this, as it is against their interest in making more money. There is more to life than money. Even if you are in debt (which I am! har!), but I don’t care so much. I do what I enjoy, I make enough to keep me out of a job (slavery), and am eager to move on. <grin>. http://www.jointfg.com/ I cannot review this one as it is only open to US citizens. I wonder why. That’s very strange. Perhaps their programme is illegal in other countries? I don’t know. http://www.profitable-hyip.com/?ref=riverman110 This one has quite a few plans, many overlap. And they are counting on your math skills and fear, not being so good. For instance, if you put in $501 or over into Plan 5 of the 25 to 40 percent daily you will get 40% per day for five days totaling 200%. But if you put the same money into Plan 5 of the 250% to 400% AFTER 5 days, you will get double that of the other plan. Why? They prey on your fear that they may shut down. So maybe getting half the percent each day is more to your liking? Versus leaving that money in for the full five days and earning double of the other? Nice games, tricks, and treats. In any case, they are getting close to 50% w/d so that does not bode well. You will be taking a big risk in investing there now. That is my personal and humble opinion. js. Nov. 9th (Wednesday) Z1Investments is a scam. No payments for a week. iDann, as I indicated before, seems to be run by some Russian scammers. They are having “difficulties with their proxy server.” Yeah right. They are running. Thanks for that info from Pierre. http://www.lifetime-returns.com. This one is interesting. There are four plans, all of which are just below the ponzi range, meaning just under or just over 1% per day, depending on how much you spend. Incorporated offshore (Virgin Islands). The Interenet Division was started on or about 9th Dec. 2004 according to Alexa.com. Traffic ranking: 290K, that’s on the radar. Registration is at Godaddy.com and they are using a proxy, so the real Admin cannot be found. The principal can be returned to you when the plan you are in expires, but is subject to their whim, it seems, as according to the FAQ they say this and also point out that by that time your principal would have been recovered. This is a bit ominous to me. Not sure if I will play in there or not. Seems to be one of the better ones out there at first blush. If you’re going to recruit for this one make sure you put in at least a min. spend, as the referral ID is you account number. Actually, I’ve just decided not to play. All but the daily plan, give you the accumulated interest (not even compounded) at the end of 90, 180, 360 days. That stinks. Who the heck knows if they are going to be around that long? And the daily plan only pays 0.5% per day. Oh well. No thanks. I must say this, as I cannot keep it quiet. It seems to me that it is best to launch an HYIP type program anonymously, where the Admin are unknown and unreachable and unaccountable. Then folks will flock to the program if the plans are attractive. But if the Admin are known, reachable, and may have had some past history where one or two programs failed, as they all tend to do, then the crowd does not tend to flock to a new program issued by the same and honest Admin. I will not name names, but am starting to see this trend. And I will say that it is patently ridiculous! But seems to be human nature and practice. Putting my feet in their shoes, see, if I’ve been wronged, I will never ever join another program by Admin that I was, apparently, wronged by, even if I used money I could not afford to lose and was warned about it, and agreed to it! Out of my greed! (no, and I don’t want to admit it, right?) But, if I see a new program where I don’t KNOW who the Admin are/is and the plan looks tasty, well then I will join and even spend more money I cannot afford to lose! I will even borrow! This just bugs the hell out of me! So by the various protests and complaints, these folks are promoting and inculcating the practice of having phantom Admins! Phantom Plans, and scams! I’d say, grow the f((k up! Recognize your gambling habits and do something about it. Go after the scams, real scams, not honest admins. ‘nuff said. Again, am not naming names nor programs, but it is in recognition of ALL of the Honest Administrators out there. The scammers will meet their fate no matter what. Don’t worry about that. After all, there is a Law, a higher law than human law. OK. Am I boring you? Sorry about that. Nov. 8th (Tuesday) I’ve been meaning to tell you about this. And am sorry for not having told you earlier. A very good and dear friend of mine, Lydia, mentioned a book that I should get: Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. So the next day I ordered it from Amazon.com and received it within days. Well, I have to tell you that within minutes of putting my fingers on it, and my eyes, I must say that I have not read such a good book as this one before. The language, the use of language, shall I say? Is exquisite! And the story that is told is just so well told, that all of your senses will get involved, and you cannot put down the book! I think it is a Master work of art. It will touch your heart. It has everything, including romance, adventure, religion, spirituality, and it will take your soul on a journey you cannot afford to miss. As you can see, I love it! I recommend it for both sexes! What relevance does it have for your life here? Everything! Trust me. http://www.themilliondollarformula.com/s/ Am sorry but this is pure Internet mumbo jumbo! You don’t know what you’re reading and your eyes go cross-eyed or glaze over! Just another sales letter but very boring, no highlights, nothing. Just more and more text about some lady making a thousand a day and so on. Very boring. At least that’s my opinion. Go away. The Rich Jerk (use previews page to find out more) is at least much less boring! I’m not sure if I’ve missed an announcement from 12DailyPro.com, because I’ve noticed that I’ve been surfing 30 pages the last few days, not 12! And my $120 is already at $151 or so and I have 4 days left of surfing. Even at 12% per day, or 14.40$ I’ll make another 57.60$ totaling about 208$, so that’s a profit of 88$, or about 74%! Am not complaining. http://zoominvest.com/?ref=kookoo Front page says 1% per day but once you sign in you will see they are paying 1.9% per day. Open since May 28th. 11K members, near 33K$ deposited. Well, that’s not much, but they’re pretty steady it seems. Oh oh, Registered on the Katz Global (scam) network. Site is also on the Katz network. Hmmmm... so am very leary of this one. Alive five months now. Pretty close to run time, but... not much taken in yet! So I doubt they will run any time soon. They only take e-gold. Traffic rank is nothing to speak of, near the 800K mark. So not very well known, at all. Up to you! Another whacky plan: http://www.profitable-hyip.com/?ref=riverman110 ROI’s from 3% to 65% or more per day! Ponzi. 27 running days, so soon to run or collapse. Taken in over 127K$ and w/d at about 50%. I don’t expect this one to last too much longer. So too high a risk. http://www.theperfecthyip.com/?ref=riverman110 I don’t think it’s perfect. 5 days, 31 active accounts, just over 5K$ taken in, under five hundred taken out. Slow. Which may be ok. But the ROIs are well into the ponzi range, from 4 to 10% per day! It’s not growing fast enough to warrant playing in it even if you know this is a ponzi. So your money will likely get stuck in there. But up to you! Am just warning you about it. https://www.spirit-hyip.com/index.php This one is bound for failure. From 45% to 125% daily! Ouch! Ponzi cubed. This one is just preying on your greed to make some money quick. Don’t do it. These usually develop some so-called technical issues with withdrawals and so on. I would not trust it. In any case, they don’t have enough money coming in to pay out that 125% every day. Ok, will someone do me the honors and report them to e-gold and have them shut down? Thanks. 2372579 (spirit-hyip) Just received the following important communication: COWS Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington, and they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give them all a cow. CONSTITUTION They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it's worked for over 200 years and we're not using it anymore. TEN COMMANDMENTS The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse? You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians... It creates a hostile work environment. And Last but not least..... George Carlin said it best about Martha Stewart . "Boy, I feel a lot safer now that she's behind bars. O.J. Simpson and Kobe Bryant are still walking around; Osama Bin Laden too, but they take the one woman in America willing to cook, clean, and work in the yard, and haul her ass off to jail." Nov. 7th (Monday) The official opening of R-YIP is some time today. All deposits will be set to today’s date. They are simply doing more testing to ensure that all is running smoothly. http://exclusiveops.com Yet another ponzi. Why? First they make all kinds of claims that they are backing your invests with their own money, then they say they pay out on 7 days but earn on 5 trading days, implying some kind of trading. So they build your confidence up and then hit you with a a 9% to 12.5% per day ROI! Clearly in the ponzi range. So they play on your emotions about the scams out there, then give you scam-range ROI’s! The greedy ones will go with this one. The ones who reason it out will not. http://www.real-fund.biz First notice that their w/d’s are more than 50% of the deposits, so they will not survive much longer. Second, notice the grammar. I have nothing against foreign setups, but they could at least hire someone to proofread so that their English Grammar is right on. They are, after all, using the English language. Lack of this just sets up a red flag with me, meaning danger. Then they are offering 3% per day, 365 days per year! That’s clearly in the ponzi range and NOT sustainable by ForEx, never mind any other kind of trading. And AI software is not as reliable as some think. Another red flag is that today they have taken in just over 1K$. Not very reassuring. I guess that’s why some hide their stats. Now don’t go telling me that am picking on a lot of these. The fact is that a lot of these are just ponzis! And will run with your money. Just read all 3+ pages of my BLOG to see this. http://oppseekers.com These guys claim to have the lowest cost leads and are not over-paid/booked. Well the lowest package is six cents per lead! Whereas UFD (UltimateFreeDownline, see reviews page for signup and more info) has leads as low as one cent per lead! With the same characteristics. So I tend to stick with UFD. Nov. 6th (Sunday) Next person to be rotated in my advertising efforts is: username: freedman. Well it seems some folks have discovered the new RYIP site: http://r-yip.com/?kookoo It stands for Reality Yield Internet Program and is run by the well-known team of DR Werba, David Platte, and John Stankiewicz, trusted Admin. The official launch date is Monday, tomorrow. But the site is up and running and anyone can sign up for free. Here is a snippet from their FAQs page: Q. What prompted you to launch R-YIP? A. We have been studying HYIPs for over 8 months now. Our Researcher also has a high ranking site that has been tracking HYIPs for over 8 months. We have found that most of the HYIPs are simply ponzi games, basically cyclers/doublers in disguise using a popular HYIP script from GoldCoders.com which costs only $140. And most of them fold within a week or two, never mind a month or two. There are also some more professional scams that last 2 to 3 months and then run with your money. Frankly, there are very few honest HYIPs, less than 1%. Now there are a few that are indeed honest and pay you less than 3% per week and require large deposits. So we have decided to create a realistic YIP which pays you from 1% to 2% per trading day, based on market conditions. This is more than you can get yourself (and ForEx is not that easy to play, you can lose your shirt doing it) or what other middlemen can give you. But it is also less than the ponzi games called HYIPs, will give you. You can be assured that your deposits are safe with R-YIP. We will not run and every member will get paid a percent, daily, on their deposits. http://www.bluefeast.com/index.php?ref=1610172 65 Running days now. Involved in Arbitrage Trading (Sports most likely). Have taken in over 223K$ and paid out over 89K$. 1.6% daily interest. The language is not quite English. So they are either Chinese, Russian, or perhaps German. I wonder why a professional outfit, if they are, would not bother to hire someone to proofread their site for Grammar? I would do that, wouldn’t you? So it’s a bit suspicious. Let’s see: Online Since: 26-Oct-2005 according to Alexa.com. Is that 65 days? No way! They are lying through their teeth, as we tend to say. Traffic ranking is in the 1.5 Million. Not too good. Registered in Washington. Server is in Tampa, Florida. I don’t know... except that they are lying about how long they have been on the ‘net and am not so sure that Sports Arbitrage can give you over 1% a day, so that Admin makes some money, and you too. I frankly will not play in this one. Besides, if they are a ponzi, they are well over their expected lifetime. http://www.moonhyip.com/?refid=riverman110 This is yet another high interest per day, for 5 days, programme. Ponzi for sure. No one can make that kind of interest each day, so they have to be using new money to pay out old money. Oh well. I myself will not play in this one. Not enough members in any case if I wished to chance it. http://www.Doubler-Machine.com/?ref=X1604818 This one looks to be using the GoldCoders Doubler/Cycler script. Well, as you know, doublers fail rather quickly and so will this one. At least the HYIPs are more of a profit sharing pool than a doubler, and may last longer, provided the ROI’s are realistic. This one works like the original script that came out for doublers, it has the ability to process multiple lines. The trouble with that is that some lines are slower than others, based on membership participation. So many lines can stall, while one or two move quickly, then stall. Most folks who have played in cyclers know what I mean. It’s not worth the risk. Nov. 5th (Saturday) Monday! Save some cash for then! I am aware of a launch that will be great! And you will NOT lose your money! Happiness is. I hear that I was right about trading-experts.com, it seems they are no longer paying (I posted in the BLOG that they were a scam on Friday, but took that out after doing some more research and not being able to back up my claim....). Thanks to Matthias for the alert on that. Here is a very interesting article and I believe it. Just read it. Am not earning anything from it. The guy is right! Another stupid one: .godhyip.comhttp://www/?ref=richboy 130% plus per one day! Ponzi. 85% for two days! Why can’t these folks see that this will not work? Am not sure. I would NOT join. Nov. 4th (Friday) I can’t believe this one: “We offer you to get 150% after 1 hour, 200% after 3 hours, 300% after 6 hours - principle + profit. The minimum investment is ONLY $35 and the maximum is $35'000. You can make as many spends, as you like.” Can you believe that? http://www.FabricInvestors.net/?1604818 Yeah right! Lose your money! And quickly! No one can provide that kind or return! This is a pure scam! It takes about 8 days just to get your money into a ForEx account and start trading, never mind 6 hours! So this one is a pure scam. It was just brought to my attention that the StudioTraffic referral method has changed. What you need to do if you have a 9PlanetReviews site is to login, and click on Programs. Locate ST and key in not just your username but your ID as well in the following format: 10041&username=deardr if this was your data. https://www.vstrader.com Located in Singapore on the Katz Global Network where scammers are usually found. Offers about 1% per trading day so looks to be in the low ponzi range. Am sorry to say, but if I wished to do something like this and not be called a scammer I would not be registering myself on the Katz Global Network! They have been paying over 53 weeks now according to their History page. Just over a year. Well, that’s fine. Could be getting ready to run. I would really hesitate to put any money into this one. Am sorry, but sites like this one: http://quickprofithyip.com/?ref=riverman110 are totally unrealistic! Up to 135% profit after two days? I think they themselves don’t understand what they are saying! They likely mean 35% profit! And you get your principal back. Oh well. I am not chancing my money in these types anymore. Let’s see, I have to coin a term for these types.... pshorts? Ponzis, short life? http://www.dreams-come-true.org/?dct=1604818 Those stats tell me they are getting nowhere. They have paid out almost as much as they took in. So they are close to collapse! No way would I spend in there. Nov. 3rd (Thursday) Set aside some money. Am aware of an HYIP that is coming soon, either this week or next, not later than next week and the Admin are honest and will offer very realistic returns. The programme should last at least six months, not like most of these ponzis that fail within 30 days, many times earlier. That’s all I am willing to tell you right now. FLOODHYIP: OK. Look. They say they are long term, high yield, backed by ForEx. Let me tell you something. ForEx traders are super happy to get 3% a week! Never mind per day! Now comes along floodhyip and is promising you 52 to 70 percent per day for two days! Ummm.... am still awake, and still can think. Can you? What is the difference between three percent per five days and over fifty percent in two days? A scam! That’s what! Happiness, right?. Their stats may not even be true. Look, scammers, if you’re going to come out with a programme, the least you can do is make it look realistic! Or maybe not. That way folks like myself can spot you! Wow. I was just stunned. I looked at our Alexa rating for 9PlanetReviews? And it’s ranked in the top 183K! That’s pretty darn good. Thanks for all your hard work folks! I really do appreciate it! Keep spreading the word. It looks like Moneypeak.biz is back. Thanks to Nat for the alert on this one. But the support ticket system is not working as they somehow managed to break the form code and have the code for the submit button appear in the text that you’re supposed to submit! And they are hiding behind a proxy service so there is no way to contact the admin! As well, Nat says that w/d’s are simply going back into the internal accounts and not to the pay processors! So I’ve sent a note to Admin (guessed the email address). This one may be run by the same folks that ran johnsonhyip.com and may be a scam. Reminder re 12DailyPro: You MUST surf 12 pages for 12 days straight to get 12% x 12 days = 144% on your original spend. That’s a 44% profit in 12 days, if you do not miss any days (because your spend expires in 12 days). FastMarket: If you are advertising your own personal FastMarket link then check it carefully as they have again changed it recently. Here is the correct format: https://members.fastmarket.com/process_invitation.php?inv_code=YOURINVITECODE Those of you in Global-Mutual.com, be careful! Admin just sent out a note saying he mistakenly deleted Plan B and so on. Read the e-mail he sent out. What I want to warn you about is that another reviewer is investigating this one for scam. It seems that there is some info out there that indicates that two of the Admin are running this out of a prison! Why are they in prison? For a financial scam. Now, I can’t verify this as yet, and there is no further info. But I would advise you to get your money out of there just in case. They claim they are a not for profit organization. Hmmm.... And the GMI Marketing page still says Under Construction. The Due Diligence link also goes to an HYIP review site and I could not find Global-Mutual. Am not saying this one is a scam, yet. It is puzzling to me why mining companies would go to us for our twenty bucks? Reminds me of Paxmix, which I believed in, for a while, until they ran with the money. This one, I believe is not too much different: http://www.green-steel.org/?ref=riverman110 And they are old enough to run some time soon. So I will not myself spend anything in there. Nov. 2nd (Wednesday) WorldLpp.com (see Reviews page for signup and info) has launched it’s first Company and programme! I and others who have signed up with WorldLpp, and who have purchased units in the new programme are proud owners! Not affiliates, but owners! And here is the first Company that we proudly own: Vivamin.com. Check it out! Sign up as an affiliate of Vivamin as well. It’s a great Nutritional Company with lots of good products. http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/WePayROI2005 They say the offer realistic rates, unlike the ponzis. Hogwash! They are a prime example of a ponzi, they just did not wish to fork out the $140 for the GoldCoders script. Now they have to do it all by hand. Dumb move. Reminds me of the various failed attempts to run cyclers via Yahoo groups. I'd not risk my money in there. Am glad to report that FastMarket is doing exceptionally well and there is no end in sight. I just sent out Ken Russo’s review, and hope he does not mind, as it is an excellent review and I could not have done much better. Sign up using the Reviews page, get your own Invitation code using the Invitations link at FastMarket and then update your 9PR backoffice with your code so that you too can earn the 10% commission on new signups. http://titan-investmentgroup.com/?ref=riverman110 These guys are on their 23rd day, w/d’s are almost have of what they have taken in.... so they will either run or shut down quite soon. Maybe 10 more days? Too much risk for me. But it’s up to you. “It appears that hackers have once again corrupted our BigMoneyPro system.” Never did join that system. Nov. 1st (Tuesday) The NEW HYIPFever has just started with a new game! Just today! New ownership but continuing the same model. 140% in 20 days. Am playing in this one. Those of you who do not understand how these games work, do not play and those who do.... well, it’s a risk! But am playing. Please sign up fresh with a new userid as am not sure that last month’s referrals will carry over to the new game. Now look folks! I have NOT received any answers from you! The answers I requested by 8 PM EST yesterday? Hellooooooo! Why have you not answered? Were my questions unclear? Was I obtuse? Was I asking you in error? Did you want money? Ok, now seriously, look at my questions below and please send in your report in by 11 PM tonight! (Hmmmm... perhaps I was unclear?) OK. This one is selling a fuel booster so that you can save money on gas. All kinds of claims, none of which I can verify, nor probably can you. Plus they are using a binary compensation plan, and these are really hard to work. The Company ends up the winner. Join if you wish: http://www.mpgcaps.com/?31 That’s not my URL. Oct. 31st (Monday) http://pwrteam.net/prelaunchinfo/1.shtml This is all bullshit. I have three Casinos to my name, which I paid $800 USD for and NOTHING has heppaned in over a year! Despite their promises to advertise them everywhere! Yes, gambling is big, but not on the net! You can’t reproduce the environment! It is only good for loners! There are no drinks! No lights! No glamor! So just ignore such offers! They are full of it. You know what I mean. Stay away from these sharks! I’ve been with http://www.12dailypro.com/?ref=61886 but have done nothing with it. Some folks have kept at me to list this one and finally I will. Besides StudioTraffic this one has lasted the longest (since March or May I think). It pays 12% daily. How can it be doing this and survive? Paid members only! Freeloaders only for 7 days, then they must upgrade. Plus they say they have multiple streams of income to keep it going. Well, don’t know if they really do, but they are keeping it going! So am adding it some time today so that you can add your own ID in the 9PR backoffice. A bit later.... wow! It is true! I upgraded with $120 USD, surfed 12 pages, and my balance is now $14.40, which is 12% of $120 USD! So it is 12% daily, 12 pages max per day surfing. And I can cash that out when the upgrad expires, 12 days from now. Wish I had paid more attention a few months back! To add a bit more.... upgrade units do expire! So you MUST surf daily! Once they expire you must upgrade again. This is one of the secrets as to why they have survived! Brilliant! You MUST surf 12 pages for 12 days straight to get 12% x 12 days = 144% on your original spend. That’s a 44% profit in 12 days, if you do not miss any days. Here is what one of my readers says about 12dailypro: Hi Friends, YES I mean that, if you are not prepared to make an investment after signing, you are wasting YOUR time & MINE. Before I inform you about a program I researched it as far as is possible. Have been in this program for two 12 day cycles & have been paid 12% on my investment. BETTER THAN leaving your money sitting in the bank. GOD BLESS & ENJOY your day. JAYAR ******************************************** EARN 12% DAILY!!! 12DailyPro has been paying members on time for Months!!! Don't wait like I did. I'm making great money now, but could be making Much More if I had started earlier!!! This is the Only stable autosurf program that I know of that Pays Big Money!!! No Sponsoring Necessary to make Big Bucks with this Easy Income Generator!!! All you do is upgrade for as little as $6.00 and surf 12 sites per day to receive 12% of your upgrade level each day for 12 days!!! That's 144% in only 12 Days! Just one click and the surfing is done for you automatically! You absolutely Do NOT need to sponsor anyone to get paid 12% daily for 12 days, however those who wish to refer others are paid additional 12% referral bonuses!!! There is No Minimum Payout! You are paid Automatically by the company after your upgrade expires!!! Sign up as a free member and upgrade within 7 days with as little as $6.00 and start making money like the rest of us!!! Some members who started small are now earning thousands each month now. Wish I had jumped in then, but I'm in now and loving every minute of it. This one is quickly helping me recover my losses from some of the scams!!! Only 2 active upgrade packages at a time are allowed. The sum of the 2 cannot exceed $6,000. Once each upgrade expires, you can purchase another upgrade package and start making more and more money like current members are doing! You can't re-purchase from your earnings. The company insists on paying you the money you've earned each time and they pay within 7 after each upgrade expires. If you have some extra money available in your e-gold or Stormpay, you don't have to wait until they pay you. You can purchase right away as soon as each upgrade expires! Remember to always upgrade before surfing in order to start getting paid on each upgrade that day!!! Use the Reviews page to sign up, up above. http://www.eprofitteam.com/plan1.php?goldenrainbows Well I have no means of proving this one or disproving it. My gut feel is that it is bogus. All they keep saying is 1.7 Million. So what? http://www.privatesins-ef.com Stupid name (why Sins?), no stats at all, too many fees, no indication of where they invest, if at all, slow site. Enough said. Can somebody remind me what are supposed to be doing on this prison planet? Besides trying to make more money to pay debtors, with no end in sight? Can someone tell me where this Universe is appearing? Can someone tell me who I really am and how did I get here with my memory wiped? If we own these apparent bodies, then where the heck is the Owner’s Manual? If this world/realm is a dream then can someone please wake me up? And where would I wake up to? And why should anything be happening at all? Please have your answers in before 8 PM EST. Thank you. Oct. 30th (SunDay) OptinCash will be adding commissions some time this coming week! They are officially launching on Nov. 15th. More Offers for you to complete will be added this coming week, even before the launch. And yes, they are encouraging upgrades so that you get paid down further levels. Let’s see what kind of commissions we are making before we do that! That’s what I did at OnlineEarningCenter. When you see folks signing up below your payout level, and if there are enough, then consider upgrading to capture those commissions. See Reviews page for a signup link. http://www.freecardmatrix.com No thanks. Yet another MLM/Matrix programme. I looked at it but could not get any enthusiasm up about it. Can you? Good luck. Oct. 29th (Saturday) http://ia300142.us.archive.org/1/items/You_Lied__Bush_lies_/you_lied.mp3 Am not taking sides. But it’s a nice song. Am taking the side of Balance. OK? But listen to the words! Spread the word! Do it now! If you care. Before the Faschist Govt takes over in the clear blue sky. It looks like OptinCash is not doing as well as OnlineEarningCenter (see Reviews page), at least for myself. In the former I have sponsored 22 personally and my total downline is at 39, whereas at the latter I have sponsored 36 members personally and my downline is at a whopping 1858! As well, Offers are already available at OnlineEarningCenter but yet not at OptinCash. OptinCash should get going soon, I hope. Their competitor is well ahead of them! I am also happy with StudioTraffic.com (see Reviews page). They have survived! And are still paying! One of my readers and owners of a 9PR site is making $3K per month! That is surely nice as you only have to launch ST, then let it surf while you have a nice walk in the park. So am upgrading the Confidence level on this one to 100%. Oct. 28th (Friday) 22 days and only $8K taken in: http://ridenbergcapital.net/?ref=riverman110 Not worth it! Pure ponzi. 13 to 18% daily! Wow. So why have they taken in such a low amount? No interest, lack of advertising and so on. Bye bye. http://x-investment.com/?ref=gurgle Well the stats look good on this one, but they have been running over sixty days now, which is past the number of days that most ponzis last. The returns are in the ponzi range as well so I doubt they invest anywhere. Taken in 58K$ and taken out 15K$. So they may stick around for a while yet. Four to seven point five percent daily, depending on the plan. http://www.tslogic.com/?ref=1610172 Online since July 26th, 2005. 2% per day and once you reach 1K it’s 3% per day. Sounds like the late SYNCinvest. Principal is locked in for 250 days. Looks like a unique script. Not on any scammer networks. Checking admin contact info listed with the Registrar right now. Will notify you if I get an answer. Looks like this one may be promising. Alexa shows low traffic, but they opened only about two months ago now. Hmmm... 2 months running. I have no other stats. Have requested those from the Admin. No idea how much they’ve taken in. https://www.cgfin.com/cl/?ref=kookoo Well this one is definitely below the ponzi radar range! It’s even much lower than what you can make in ForEx via 4X-Club. So I don’t need to review this one any further. 1% to 3.25% weekly???? They may just be legit. But... again, there are better ones out there that are legit and safe, like 4x-Club (sign up via the Reviews page). http://www.cash4dailyhyip.com/?ref=riverman110 This is pure gambling! Will you chance your hard earned money in the hopes that this one will pay you 120% after only 2 days? How can they do that? There is no investment you can make that will give you that kind of return! Almost none! And consistently and to others? It’s a pure ponzi that will develop w/d issues and will close in less than ten or fifteen days! Maybe even less! No way I would take a chance in this one. Not even $20 USD! They can collect lots of those and just shut down and run with the money. And they dare say right above the plans on the home page that they are HONEST ADMIN! What hypocrisy! Of course, again, this is only the opinion of this reviewer. http://stefbkt.8m.com/CDT.htm Yet another money pyramid, with a feeder pyramid on the front end ($100 to get in) and the main pyramid in the background ($500 per position from the feeder). You move up the pyramid (8 on the bottom) and once you reach the top you get $3K and supposedly a $2.7K 1/2 karat diamond. Sure. Probably a $37 Zirconium! No thanks. Has anyone yet proven that they actually give out real diamonds? Seems to be just another money scam with a supposed product. http://assuredwealthteam.com/?ref=kookoo This one has started up just today. 10%, 11%, and 12% daily for 30 days. Not much volume as yet, just over a hundred dollars. I’m going to wait at least until tomorrow to see if they are going to pick up or not before spending in there. A definite ponzi game, will likely last about 10 to 15 days, so don’t spend what you can’t afford to lose, if you’re going to. Am not advising you to do anything or to do nothing. Nothing is happening. It’s all an illusion. Or everything is happening, all at the same time, and you will never figure it out. OK? Good. Now relax. It seems LH-FUND.com is gone. Ran with the money. There were some w/d problems earlier and I guess they chose to just shut down. Damn. Ok, am really getting tired of these. Look at this HYIP: http://goldrecovery.net It is pure CRAP! The key plan says if you put in $500 you will get a 20,000 % yearly profit! Let’s do the math. There are 365 days in the year. So.... $500 x 20,000% / 365 = 273$ USD per day! On a measely $500 investment! Do they think we are absolute imbeciles? And the other two plans are “Feeder” plans into this one. They believe in mining resources in the Earth’s crust. Yeah right, the only thing they are mining is your money! https://goldquests.net/ This is an elaborate scam (my opinion only as a reviewer!). They say they are a junior Mining company and quote several Countries in which they operate. It’s very clever! Because if you do a google search for GoldQests Mining you will come across GoldQuest Mining Company (notice the singular) who are indeed a mining company. Some will not notice this and think it really is GoldQuests! So they have modeled themselves on GoldQuest and think they can get away with it. Further, why would they want your $50 when they can get private placements worth hundreds of thousands of dollars if there is indeed gold where they are digging? Makes no sense to start an HYIP on the ‘net for this! So my personal opinion is that this is a scam, not just a ponzi, but a professional scam. http://www.itsnomiracle.com This is just a feeder (money pyramid) into yet another money pyramid, on a subscription basis. Everything is automated, supposedly, but it is still a money pyramid sitting in front of another, larger, money pyramid. No thanks. Oct. 27th (Thursday) Here is my favorite Spyware package (yes, I paid for it and use it). It’s called Spyware Doctor and the features are just amazing. Everything from blocking spyware in real time, to blocking key loggers. There’s a popup blocker, cookie blocker, a startup guard, browser guard, immunizer, Network guard, Process guard and Scheduler! Visit the Reviews page for a more full review. Pat Rogers out of Winnipeg, Canada, is running a cycler s/he believes you cannot lose in, as s/he is guaranteeing your initial spend! Well, am sorry, but mathematically this is not possible. But.... let it be. Basically you send either $10.25 or $20.50 max per day to INTgold acct: 318383, and send an e-mail to fastincome10@yahoo.ca with your transaction info and if you would like auto-reinvest or not. Up to you. Am risking $20.50 in there today. Further update on iDann, or should I say (((Sequois)))? The brackets show a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Some detective work by Debra G. has revealed that iDann is in all likely hood Sequois (a scam) resurrected. She found the word Sequois lodged on the FAQ page, relative to how to sign up. Of course now the oversight has been taken care of and you won’t find it. So I would advise myself not to play in this one. Although.... if you have the stats on Sequois... how long they were around, etc, you may be able to gamble as iDann, being the reincarnation of Sequios will most likely repeat the same habit patterns, if you know what I mean? HYIPFever will be back by Nov. 10th with a new game. Am researching http://www.fp-gold.com/?fp=kookoo In order to view their incorporation data you have to sign up (free). It’s not clear how to do so, so here is how: on the home page fill out the boxes starting with desired username, etc. Then click on the Signup/Join button below the boxes/fields. They say they have not missed a payment since 2003. Ok, then look at how many members they have and how much they have taken in: 602 and about $18K, respectively. Now what’s wrong with that picture? If this is truly the case, I will not be investing in there! Those are pathetic figures, unless.... they are not telling us the truth about the start date/year. I could not even find an traffic data on Alexa.com! Incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2005. They say they were operating out of Malaysia before that. They used http://www.delawareinc.com/ to Incorporate (takes 3 minutes). They incorporated in Delaware because it was cheap, and they did not have to put in the minimum balance of $1K into a bank account, in this case they only put in $120. Nice. It also seems that Delaware protects Incorporated companies against litigation (by authorities...). Finally, anyone can Incorporate in Delaware without visiting the State! 3 minutes online! Hmmmmm.... do you see where this is going? If you wish to set one up yourself.... just study this one. They have gone through a lot of trouble to look legitimate. So why that discrepancy with the Invested amount and start date? I’ve sent a query to Admin. Stay tuned. Oct. 26th (Wednesday) This one takes ages to load and may be a scam: http://electroni.biz/?r=riverman110 It is hosted by the infamous Katz Global Name Trust, where many scammers appear or use their services. Online since Aug. 23rd, 2005. While I write this I am waiting for the site to still load! 3.3% to 7.3% daily! Definitely a ponzi/game. Oh, by they way, they will send you a warranty certificate! har! That’s funny. I guess I can print one too and send it to you! By the way, site still has not loaded, over one minute now. My sides are heaving. OK. Am going to take a break and watch some TV, come back and report further, while this site is still loading (I predict). Oh and if you put in over a grand you receive a free Palmtop! Did I not review this site before? My memory is going. Damn Aliens! I wish the abductions would just stop! The Orion Empire will not succeed! Hear me! Ooops. I did not say that just now, did I? Sorry. Holy crap! I now have 1612 members in OnlineEarningCenter (see Reviews page). And my matrix is now up to 29 levels deep! Sob! And I have only referred 33 Members myself! And just picked up another $143 in commissions (past the $300+ before), so am quite upset. Har! Not! By the way, they are launched and there are offers to complete! Go go go! Here is an outright scam: http://trustedcoin.org/ They promise to give you a 2000% return in just 9 days! Yeah, sure. Their e-gold acct. number is 2493041. Thanks to Michael J. for sending this one to us. OK. Am soon getting rid of GDI. Global Domains. It’s proving to be too hard to work, even at ten bucks a month. And their hosting services are lacking. Initially it went well, but is turning out to be a hard push. So am getting rid of it soon. All of you who have joined, unless you’re in profit, can resign. I will soon as well. Here is a competitor to The Rich Jerk: RoboRiches. The key difference seems to be, as they claim, is that RoboRiches gives you a system. So if you’re a newbie, you simply follow the instructions exactly and you will be rich (um.... sure). Whereas the Rich Jerk (it’s on the Reviews page) tells you the secrets, gives you ideas, suggests a way or ways, and it’s up to you to implement it. Well, that could be true. Those who are already savvy about the Internet, who like to be flexible, will appreciate The Rich Jerk. Those who need complete instruction and hand holding will prefer RoboRiches. Myself, since am savvy, and like my freedom to do things my way (to my detriment some times), I prefer The Rich Jerk. But.... there are many folks out there, joining the ‘net everyday, who have no clue as to what to do, how to proceed. So in these cases RoboRiches is the way to go. Oct. 25th (Tuesday) I am going to expand my reviews from HYIPs, ponzis, matrix programs, cyclers, and binaries to other opportunities, opportunities which you can also take advantage of, especially by becoming a ClickBank affiliate (free) and then you can use your own 9PlanetReviews site (free) to take advantage of my reviews to sell your own ClickBank affiliate product (whichI have reviewed). Sounds easy? Sure it is! Here are the steps: 1. First obtain a nickname from Clickbank if you do not already have one. 2. I will list ClickBank products on the Reviews page. Make sure you have signed up for your own 9PlanetReviews site (use the Sign Up button above to do so). Sign in to your 9PR site, go to Programs, and beside each Clickbank related program enter your ClickBank nickname and check the checkbox. 3. Now simply advertise your 9PlanetReviews site link on traffic exchanges, in Forums (as your signature), send the link in e-mails to folks you know, etc.. I have added PaidSurveysOnline to the Reviews page. This site pays folks from $10 per hour to $125 per hour filling out surveys. I feel this is one of the better sites in this area. You can also resell this opportunity by becoming an affiliate. Use this procedure. I have just added SurveysScout to the Reviews page, which is the second ranked Paid for Surveys site. Enjoy! If you sign up now you will get a $25 Survey instantly and save on the sign up! OK LOOK. I’ve been re-reading my BLOG here, and it is starting to look like am advertising products at you. Let me remind you this is not the case. Most of you who are reading this BLOG are actually looking for way to make more money, not buy these products. So that is why I urge you to read the instructions on how to become a ClickBank Affiliate and then you can promote those products and earn a substantial commission. I will simply have helped you find those products I feel/think are worthy so you can run with them. OK? Am not trying to SELL you these products (but that would be nice of you, if you were to buy). Am trying to show you which ones are good and how to sell them. One way is via the promotion of your own 9PlanetReviews site, by using your own ClickBank nickname beside each ClickBank product I review and then choose to list on the Reviews page. I hope you understand. http://www.affiliatecashvault.net/?hop=micronuts Well, yawn, looks ok. But not as good as The Rich Jerk (view link is on the Reviews page). If you really wish to get step by step instructions on how to sell a lot of product and how to get in people’s faces (meaning how to attract their attention) the you can’t beat the info that The Rich Jerk provides. http://www.kilohyip.com Yet another High ROI ponzi. 4 Days old, taken in less than 2K. Forget it. http://www.affiliateadventure.com/?hop=micronuts An e-book that teaches you how to write effective Affiliate Ad sales letters (doorway or splash pages). Looks ok, but I would still go with The Rich Jerk. Eliminate AdWare! This one will stop spyware from being installed in the first place. It will also keep your favorites and home page from being changed maliciously. Scanning for spyware is standard and includes even a schedule. It will also prevent auto-dalers from dialing out and looks like it may even have a key logger blocker. In any case, the download is free so it’s worth a try. Here is another good spyware fighting product: Spyware Cleaner Pro. The features are quite impressive. Besides removing and preventing spyware it also includes an Internet “washer” and PC “cleaner” to remove potentially sensitive information that your browser leaves behind. And it’s only $29.95 USD. PONZI: http://www.reloadpro.com/?ref=kookoo Two days old, taken in less than $500. I don’t think this one will go anywhere fast. Not enough interest. USDHYIP has run with the money. Site is not coming up. Oct. 24th (Monday) OK, hey, listen up, am not taking sides, but this is hilarious! http://www.yeeguy.com/freefall/ Thanks to Bob, he lives in Muskoka, and his address is... and his phone number is..... I would not spend in USDHYIP.com any longer. They are NOT paying. And blaming it on the e-gold problems.... that argument has expired! Clearly they can process manually. But are choosing not to do so. Am very close to reporting them to e-gold and getting them shut down. So close. Completely unprofessional Admin as he or she does not answer ANY e-mails whatsoever. Must be some guy in a basement that paid $140 for the script. https://its.tc/index.php?code=98K4639N99, passcode: bcere Well, this one may well indeed be a legitimiate long-term opportunity. But I don’t have enough data to conclude that. They are into Stocks and Indexes, and their rate of return is below ponzi. If you’d like to have a look then use the above link and that passcode. It’s not mine. http://www.themega-hyip.com/?ref=kookoo This one looks pretty good for a ponzi. 16 running days, taken in over 96K$ and paid out over 34k$. 974 members and most of those are acitve! Hmmm.... But I don’t like the plans. This is merely a cycler and nothing more. High returns after 2 to 7 days. Why can’t they come out with an HYIP that offers realistic returns and lasts a long time, like LH-FUND.COM? Because they can grab a lot of money in a short period of time and be gone with it, that’s why! This is pathetic. Sorry, some of you expected a good review of this one, but... am not into fantasies. And am not investing there. Hence no commissions will be collected. http://www.idann.org/?ref=kookoo : Well, this one looks pretty professional, the plans are on the ponzi range, sure. And they have been under regular DDoS attacks. Why? Why are the DDoS posse targeting them? I can only assume that they don’t like this ponzi. Why do I say ponzi? Well, there is no proof so far that the rates they offer, although conservative amongst other ponzis, are legit. But this one is definitely not a mom and pop shop, some single guy or gal running a script. Looks well organized, and hence may indeed run for a few months. If I were to invest in a ponzi, I would do it in a professionally run one than some mediocre site lie USDHyip where the guy can’t even figure out how to do manual payouts! ‘nuff said. So am I positive or neative on this one? Registered in New York. Blocks ICMP packets. They are on the Coloquest network. That’s where many scammers hang out, it seems. Online since Aug. 5th, this year. Traffic is significant, definitely on the Alexa radar screen. I have asked the Admin for some stats. See update up above. Oct. 23rd (Sunday) Awwww.... isn’t this nice?: “>> A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised >> a glass of water and asked, "how heavy is this glass of water?" >> Answers called out ranged from 20oz. to 500oz.

Seems to be a plethora of these. IGNORE them all! If you do not, and proceed, you will be caught for money laundering! That is what is going on, no matter how good the story goes. OK? So ignore them. Don’t even bother to answer! Just hit the Del key on them. I must comment on this: http://www.5530permonth.com This is such ....cow shit? Yeah. Whenever you you see zero cost, zero promoting, zero recruting you have to say right away, awwww ... what crap! I was going to say that we’re closed on Sundays but I got a reply from an Admin that I just have to post! Why? It’s so rare that an admin of a ponzi would read my BLOG and actually get back to me in anger. So.... first read my review of moods-inv.net, it’s just below, then continue reading here. Here is the Admin’s letter to me: “Dear admin, you talking in a kind of negativity about us in your Blog and at the same time you apply your own Moods Referral URL in this article. Sorry, but what a curious kind of hypocrisy do you want to exercise? Unbelievable. Have a nice day. Best regards, Admin Moods” Now what this Admin does not understand is: 1. I sign up with various ponzis and true HYIPs either because I think they are a good one or I need to see if I can gain more info. 2. The Admin of moods-inv.net denied me any further info, namely the statistics for their operation, which most other HYIPs publish right on the front page. So given that, what else could I print in this BLOG but what I printed? You see? If you don’t, let me explain it further. If I was after commissions I would have printed a glowing revue, wouldn’t you say? Sure! But.... as I printed a slightly negative revue (what else could I do in this circumstance of denial of access to stats?) how would that translate into referral commissions! I am not recommending you! So it would not! So there is no hypocrisy here. My site is different, and I explained this to the Admin in question, as I care for the little guy and WILL NOT print a positive revue when I have no data to print such, unlike other revue sites, which will put them in the top in hopes of getting more referral commissions. So there you go Admin. I suggest you publish your accurate stats and perhaps I will change my mind about all this. Perhaps. At least your e-mail to me shows that you do have some concern or care, as other site Admins simply ignore me, or are unaware of my site. Likely the latter. And have a nice day! And now I have received an apology: “Dear admin, thanks for your honest reply. Seems you're alright. If our last e-mail appeared like an offense to you, sorry for that. All we'll express finally is the following. We're working very hard and with absolutely serious and honest intentions. To build up our portfolio and in that connection share the profits with our invested members. And please also respect our guidelines and rules. Best regards, Admin Moods” That’s fine, I accept their apology. I think right now is a bad time to invest in any of the HYIPs that use e-gold, at least until we see clear signs that w/d’s are proceeding without trouble all across the board (meaning... everywhere!). So there is even no real point in reviewing new HYIPs, right? Right. Oct. 22nd (Saturday) I have just upgraded to 5Star at OnlineEarningCenter (use Reviews button up above to find it and join). Why? Because I now have over 25 levels of downline in that! And over 1000 members due to spillover! Very nice! And I’ve made over $300 USD in profit. http://www.moods-inv.net/?rid=1114 Well, they will not give out statistics, trying to protect themselves for some reason. And based on my referral URL it seems they now have 1114 members. Am not comfortable with this one. 1.5% daily under $100 USD. 2% daily above that and there is a VIP plan. Reminds me of SYNCinvest. They have been online since this August, 20th. Traffic is not in the top 100,000. In fact, in the top 2.2 Million. So looks like they are two months old, and no idea of how much they have taken in. And they refuse to divulge that information. My intuition says: they will last another 1.5 months. So up to you on this one. I am confused a bit though. The Registrar they are using has an impressive hosting service, yet they are using another one? In Houston, TX? Oh well. Am investigating http://north-trust.com/?rid=107 right now. 6% to almost 10% per day for 40 days. 10% referral, all very attractive, pure ponzi. Trouble is, there are no stats! So I’ve e-mailed the Admin to get those. But I suspect they have started recently as the referral ID seems to reflect membership count. The script looks familiar. I think the same guys that developed the script for one of the failed doublers are responsible for this one. Fastdoubler.com it was called, or something like that. Here’s another one that is not making it: http://www.hahyip.com 63 days running and have only taken in just over 12 grand. Withdrawals are low, probably due to e-gold problems recently. And unrealistic ROIs in the ponzi range. And yet here’s another that won’t last: http://reliablefund.com They have taken in just above 2K$ USD in just 3 days. Well. Let’s keep an eye. But 60% in two days? They don’t have enough incoming to make that work. Oct. 21st (Friday) Yawn. TGIF. Looks like it’s all across the board: e-gold is not totally up and running. They are still experiencing DDoS attacks. Hence most of the HYIPs are not able to honor withdrawal payments. I myself can’t even access my e-gold account tonight. So relax. Have a beer or vodka, or whatever you prefer, and let’s leave it at that for now. http://www.earning-power.com I don’t believe these guys even for one minute! 80% profit for six days each? No way. They are doing everything possible to get you to invest and get others to invest. Referral contests and so on. No stats. Why? I don’t like this one. http://www.digiwex.com First off, these guys are lying through their teeth. They could at least have hired someone fluent in English. They keep referring to losing your principles and other grammatical errors abound. Yes, their plans are conservative, just over 1% per trading day, but I doubt they trade anywhere. If they were really a professional outfit, their site would be as well. And they say they invest in the Nano Technologies area. Now that’s a funny one. They have been watching Star Trek and Andromeda way too much. And look at those top 5 investors, each of which has invested over 200K$ on average. Traffic to the site is minimal. Online since Dec of 2004. I don’t believe these folks even for a minute. OK. This one is very easy to review: http://pacificheritage.net The fact that they offer to doubler your money INSTANTLY, in 2005, as a bonus to you, tells me this is a major scam. They say they are constantly looking to develop internet gambling resources. That’s why they want your money. But how can they do that if they double your money instantly? Makes no sense. They don’t even bother to format the text properly on their site! I would not spend in there! Would you? LH-fund and other programs where there is compounding available: The smart thing to do right now is to turn compounding on as e-gold is still sporadically accessible and these programs are unable to deposit your funds to your e-gold account. Even at FastMarket. OK? Brian asked me how I feel about the Dornstetten.com additional bonusus (sign in and you will see the announcement there, if you don’t then click on Tickets, lower right menu). I may as well answer here as some of you will be interested (they offer from 1% to 4% and my feeling is they are safe. They are basically offering to give you a $100 bonus if you top up your account to the $40 level, or if you have already received the $100 signup bonus and you are at $140 or more and if you add another $100 they will match that, etc.) Here is my quick assessment: Some of those bonuses were already there, until Oct. 30th or so. But some are new. On the one hand one could think: how could they afford to do this really? On the other one realizes that that extra $100 they give you, stays there for 90 days and you only get 1% interest per day....so they are quite safe in doing this, right? Especially if they do collapse in less than 90 days. Let's see...it would take 70 days to get your $100 out (and their $100, if you switch to compounding), and your original $100 must stay there another 20 days. But you made $100. So actually you will be in profit before 70 days are up, play with the iCalculator on the Reviews Page. But...but..... since you have been compounding, you have not taken anything out! So if you turn compounding off at 70 days, or a bit less, and start taking profit, you may indeed come out in profit. Confused? Somebody less lazy than I should program this into a spreadsheet. Is it likely that they will last another 70 days? That's a difficult question. For most HYIPs out there, I would say NO! As most collapse in less than 30 days. But this one has already lasted at least 5 or 6 months. So will it last another 2+ months? My gut feel is .... yes. But.... I will let you decide for yourself. Am I going to put in another $100? Well, e-gold, they say, is up, but I can't get in. I'll decide later on today. OK, I can’t hold back. Someone has created, get this, a Little Guys KUM Pool! I will NOT comment further. OK, I will. They could have chosen a less graphic name for that Pool! My sides are aching with enjoyment! I’ve only got one sock on. Oct. 20th (Thursday) Am I impressed with The Rich Jerk? (See the Reviews page.) YES I AM! Now I feel comfortable that if I do lose money in these ponzis, oops, I mean HYIPs, that I can easily make money on the Internet and not be scammed. The Rich Jerk is the only e-Book you will ever need that will help you set up several businesses and make big bucks. I’ve read a lot of e-Books in my days on the ‘net and this one gives you the real goods and does not force you to read thousands of pages. The directions are very clear and concise. So if you’re tired of losing money on the ‘net, buy this e-Book! It will be the last one you will ever buy. Or, go ahead, buy all the others, once you’re fed up, go and buy this one (again use the link on the Reviews page. Just do a Ctrl-F on jerk). http://www.golddaze.com Do not join. The withdrawals are very cose the the take-ins. So this one will be dead very soon. http://www.bf-funds.biz This is yet another combo of a doubler, downline builder and even a randomizer! Wow. Should I be impressed? Not. Sorry but no thanks. I can’t see how this one will work out. Am sorry guys and gals but his one will not work out! This one you should watch over the next few days: http://nominimuminvest.com/?ref=kookoo Or at least my BLOG and ask me about it if I forget, as there as so many being launched. ProjectD.com: I have put in 20 USD into this one and will likely put in more pending further investigation. 1% or just a bit more here. I’d stay with the daily plan, and will. Could be similar to LH-Fund.com. Should last a while due to the low payout vs. other ponzis. Ok, am getting a bad feeling about this one. Your login and password are identical! Just your e-gold ID! I’d say for now... DON’T INVEST IN THIS ONE! I just found out that the contact on the home page is not the contact! Wrong phone number! So this is a definite scam! Am reporting it to e-gold ASAP: Samuel Dorwel - Technical support> 147 offline investors added to DB. 16.01.2005 We are ready to work with new online investors.Additional contacts: ICQ: 349099008. Offline messages will be answered too. Phone: (512) 262-4882 It’s not the guy! And I just lost $20 to verify this! What lead me to the clue is that the username and password to sign in is the same: your e-gold acct#. A second call to the same number reached Busiess Properties Tax Groups. Hmmmmm..... We just had a 4.5 to 5 on the Richter scale earthquake here in Owen Sound, around Georgian Bay! The last place that should get this kind of thing! Wow. The whole house shook for a few seconds! www.peraads.com/muskokabob This one is similar to the WorldLpp.com opportunity found on our Reviews page, in some sense. They will be investing in various opportunities all over the place, but......you will have to qualify as a consultant by paying for certain packages in order to review the opportunities for them. I have one big problem with that. Just because you have $500 USD to spend on a package in no way qualifies you to be a good reviewer of Interent Opportunities! Right? Right! So am not very confident with this one. I don’t have to pay someone else some cash to be a reviewer of various opportunities! Am already doing that. And if you’re good, you too would! (Start your own review site.) http://www.freecardmatrix.com Yet another matrix program that is not going to work out. Most do not. They are unrealistic. How are you going get 12 Million to sign up when realistically there may just 3 Million folks on the ‘net that are interested in starting their own business? (Most figures on this are just plain wrong and not thought out well.) In addition, on their Motivation page they state some principles to success in MLM. Here is what #2 is: Build your downline wide and fast! Well, seems these folks have no experience in MLM at all. Based on their own plan, one should build maybe three wide, and then build depth under each one so that you cement them in! If you build depth under each one, they will be afraid to quit, as they will lose out on commissions. If you build wide you will see the ones you are not attending to drop out like flies! “Make a commitment to recruit one new member on your front level on a dialy basis.” That’s pure bunk! Again, as you keep recruiting new ones, old ones are dying! Leaving! Because you’re not helping them succeed. Everyone who has been in MLM for any number of years knows that the secret to success is to teach the one you found to teach the one they found to do what you do! Think on that. Looks like USDhyip.com will come through for me today. I put in $500 USD into their 4 day, 200% plan and that should mature today around 6 PM. Woohoo! Safe! And based on their stats they should be around for yet another 4+ days! Will I chance it? Hmmmmm...... And indeed i made it through! Getting out one grand tonight! Near 11 PM EST. Thanks USDhyip! OK. Listen up. KUM. I am not prejudiced against them. They are quite diversified and everyone should follow a similar strategy. What am about to say only applies to myself, and I think that KUM is an excellent investment vehicle, it is just that I am not going to be participating, for now. Basically, I have been approached by several folks to review KUM and participate. I started to review them and then simply lost interest. Why? I don’t know. I don’t have any evidence against them, just a tidbit about plagiarizing Feeder Fund, but I have no details on that and will not be publishing that tidbit of info. Besides, it’s likely over and KUM is investing in substantially different companies and areas from Feeder Fund. Am sure the owners of KUM have taken sufficient steps to be differentiate themselves from Feeder Fund. Now, KUM admin was having some fun with the definition of KUM and I simply added to the fun. Again..... I am not against KUM. I am simply a lazy guy who has chosen not to wade through all the material. I have a few long term programs in which I’ve invested and am fine with that. So all of you who like KUM, great! Make your own decision on that. Oct. 19th (Wednesday) I have a very funny response from KUM folks, but... I hesitate to post it.. as I’ve added to it in the last paragraph. Well.... hmmmm... if enough of you e-mail in for it... I will send it to you individually and please do not be offended. As you can be. Do you want it? I sent it out to my Alert Service list. Am sorry in advance. I don’t mean to put them down, but only to have some humor around them. OK Sure. Holy cow! I was just watching Comedy Now! on TV and guess what? They stole my phrase (which should be on Pate 2 of the BLOG) where I say that this BLOG should not be viewed by those who have a heart condition or lacking in humor, something to that effect! Well, they said that just now as I was watching! Darn! I should have copyrighted it or something. Are they reading my BLOG? Well, fine. I just wish they would send me some money. OK. From now on the Alert Service is free! Sign up for free. You can go ahead and cancel your subscripitions, if you wish. But if you feel generous and like the work am doing, then continue the subscription. http://hyip-daily-returns.com Revisiting this one. I feel right now that although their stats look good, none of the plans are worth risking your money in! They all pretty well give you about 1% per day. Take the 7 day plan below $1K: 108.40 Profit. That means you get 8.4% profit in 7 days, just over 1% per day. Might as well invest in 4X-Club (see Reviews page) and be sure that your money won’t be lost. Looks like PlexPay is trying to come back. The President and CEO has resigned. The cops are still holding on to their computers. Today’s ruling in court went against PlexPay. Am not putting them down, just reporting. As I told you all before, for some reason I chose not to join them. Same with KUM. FastMarket: They are having trouble with the w/d script. Admin says everything should be back to normal soon. Here is an update: https://forum.fastmarket.com/showthread.php?t=1555 The w/d problem may have something to do with the recent DDoS attack on e-gold.com! Looks like e-gold is back up now. Looks like I was right (should have checked the thread myself) as I have heard from another source that indeed e-gold was under a DDoS attack. InterestAds.com has added pixel advertising! It’s quite a unique and new concept. You basically purchase blocks of pixels instead of banners or text ads. Check it out by clicking on the Reviews button above and finding InterestAds via Ctrl-F. Oct. 18th (Tuesday) http://www.solidinvestment.com/ Well I could not find much on these guys, except that they are behind a proxy and the server is in Belize and that they are into Jungle Adventures. That’s it. And the $10M taken in worries me. Finally I did a google search on the domain name and guess what? These guys have their own domain for sale here: http://www.buyselldomains.com/creative.html for a cool $100K! What do you think of that? I think these guys are about to run with the money! Why else would they have their domain on sale? Or maybe they bought the domain and that page was not updated? OK. So I submitted a proposal to buy that domain for a buck and asked why the domain was for sale. Let’s see what happens. Even though http://www.heyep.com is only 3 days old they are already past the 50% withdrawal threshold, so this one will not last much longer. Too high a risk at this point. That’s the problem with these ponzis that offer a high ROI (like 30% to 60% per day), the withdrawal amount quickly catches up to the deposited amount, and so the game ends quickly. Here is one I don’t understand: http://www.privatefundmanagers.com 2.5% per day for 2 months. That’s ok, but look at this: total deposited: 101,254.89, reserve funds: 115,481. BLINK. BLINK. How can the reserve fund pool be larger than the amount deposited by about $14,000???? And this rather large reserve is there to ensure payouts, they tell us. I think it’s a lure. They also claim that they invest the money we put in and make a larger profit than the 2.5% they give us. This is patently untrue. Again, the best that has been done so far in ForEx is 1% per day. I can imagine 2% per day, so that the trader pockets 1% and gives us 1%. Registry is behind a proxy and server in Houston, Texas. So am suspicious of this one. Oct. 17th (Monday) Ok guys and gals, it’s time to reassess. These games that give you 30% plus per day over 3 to 4 days are just too high risk! Play them if you like, but I myself am going back to games that pay you 1% to 3% at most per day! Such as LH-FUND.COM. Am quite happy with that one. Use the Reviews button up above to find it and join if you have not already! KUM! Well folks, I have finally come across some material that substantiates my feelings about KUM. Basically I have procrastinated for no good reason in evaluating that opportunity, although reading that they were a copy cat of some other opportunity may have helped me in that. I cannot publish the material I have but am now certain that I made a good decision in not participating in KUM, and that is all that I will say for now. Good news re EzWealthByDesign: I am re-evaluating this programme based on new information and contact with the principals. Stay tuned. PrivateOpps.com is under heavy DDoS attacks. Here is another one to watch over the next few days: http://www.solarmoneyhyip.com/?ref=kookoo If volume picks up it may be time to play. Right now it’s too low to say if they are going to be a game to play or not. Right now.... not. 2 Running days right now. Here’s another one that’s just two days old: http://www.orangehyip.com/?ref=kookoo Over $4K taken in and over 1.2K taken out. Well.... watch this one for the next few days. Not enough volume right now to say either way. And yet another one: http://happy-hyip.com/?ref=kookoo 2 days old, less w/d than the others, that’s nice. But it’s yet another one in the high payout in the first few days. As well, auto-withdrawal and that’s good for hackers, but not for us. E-gold should be set up with manual withdrawal! So I would not play in this one. HYIP-fever: First game is over! And no new games will ensue due to some people standing up on their hind legs and braying that they intend to sue the Admin for running a game! Well duh! The guy explains right on the home page that it is a game, and he’s one of THE first to do something like that and be honest about it! But noooooooooooo..... some don’t WANT to understand! “Just give me back the money I spent which I could not afford to lose!” Yeah right. http://empoweredfund.com/?ref=kookoo DO NOT JOIN OR SPEND, for now. Seems his e-mail address is false. Plus am unable to recover my password. The script is not sending the new one and the Admin is not responding. So am now suspicious of this one. Oct. 16th (Sunday) Damn! Due to the panic of the lemmings HYIP-fever will last only another 1 or 2 days! Shit. This happens all the time. As soon as there is some problem! Even if it is resolved as in this case! The only thing that will save this one right now is more spends! I did my best; I put in $1K yesterday. If it collapses soon, then I will be down by about $300 USD. Ok, am now really upset. http://www.hyipgame.net which is a copy of HYIP-fever.com took my money today (108 USD) and THEN informed me that they are basically shut down because of HYIP-fever! But they took my money! The real scammer is at hypgame.net! Am sending Gino and my other friends to visit this guy. I have just listed OnlineEarningCenter and OptIncash on the Reviews page so you can now earn the referral commissions! Just update your 9PR backoffice with your IDs for each program. Those of you who have signed up with myself and are experiencing some nice overflow? Please report that to me and I will list it in the STORIES page. http://eg-business.com Have only taken in just over $10K in 18 days. So not very popular and will not last. High risk. This one is doing better for just 11 days: http://paid-hyip.com but still not enough interest to make this viable to spend in. The same with the following: http://biprofit.com Just 11 days and taken in just over $10K. Pure Ponzi but not enough interest. Now this one looks a bit more promising: http://usdhyip.com/?ref=kookoo I will put some money into this one. 12 days old, over 23k$ taken in, only $2K paid out! 30 to 40% per day, very ponzi! But.... you can still win in ones like this as it only takes 3 days+ to be in balance. OK. I have put in $500 USD into this one. 4 days, 200%! I think it will last another four days! Do you? So am risking it. HYIP-Fever: They are back in action. Some suspicious accounts have been deleted and not much money was lost! Excellent! Look in your worldlpp.com backoffice for an update. Re: NetIBA certication: NetIBA is just another way to make some money off of us. It simply certifies one of your email addys, certifies you via phone number (which they simply look up in a telephone database), and then they send a letter to you via POST with a PIN. You then go to their website and enter PIN and voila, you are certified. So what? So when some website claims they are NetIBA certified just think to yourself, so what? They are not some kind of Internet Authority! They are just making money on each e-mail address they certify for $9.95 per year! And most likely are owned by Stormpay.com. I guess I really was kookoo. In any case, by now you have received several e-mails from the Admin, Peter B. Chan of HYIP-fever explaining the situation. My suggestion to him is that he make the w/d process MANUAL else the HYIP will always be susceptible to hacking. What timing, eh? D’oh! Am pretty sure the hacker did not get away with the money because he tried to put in, and w/d, a cool $100K, which amount would NOT have been in the account! $50K at most, I’d say, now that was a blunder on the part of the hacker. So do NOT panic. Do NOT report to e-gold. Do NOT risk all of our funds! OK Tony in Australia? Relax! Read the updates. Or I’ll have to send some friends down to see you. See page 4 of this BLOG.
