Hi, guys! This Monday was an eventful one and I have lots of news for you all. And I would like to start with the leading HYIP at the moment, Tradelite. You may be concerned why the site suddenly went offline today but it was done for a good reason. This happened to carry out a full audit of the site and fix a loophole that allowed some hacker to break into some members’ accounts and withdraw their money by the cancellation of the contracts for a 10% fee (which is allowed in Tradelite). The money was then transfered to the hacker’s LibertyReserve account. Sometimes the instant exchange system was used to change the money to LR first and then withdraw it. Anyway, the site of Tradelite has been taken offline and a full security audit is to be done over the next few days. Hopefully the program will be able to continue and there was no permanent damage done. This is the latest from the administration of Tradelite:
“We will be doing a full internal security audit on our system during the next few days and if there was a breach you will receive a full refund.
Due to the anxiety some of our investors feel, stemming from their recently breached accounts and canceled contracts; our Technical advisor Nick, will be doing a systems check, and a full security audit. This will be done in the next few days. Please wait for the systems-audit,- analysis. If there was any kind of breach to our security, we will refund those accounts that had funds withdrawn.”
So hang on, guys! I hope Tradelite will be online soon and they will fix all the security issues they are currently having.
One other site currently down for me is SurfPal. The admin currently processed all the pending withdrawals to AlertPay which is finally back after the DDoS-attack on their servers. I hope the admin will find the solution to this issue and the site will be back online asap. Here’s the latest email from the admin of SurfPal Enrique (you can read my interview with him later this week on my blog):
“Due to AlertPay being down all Day I have not been able to make AP Payments, However all other payments have been made.
Since payment terms are 1 to 3 days this will not effect us or cause any to be late.
I will make AP payments once I can access the site again. Please refrain from e-mailing me asking why your not paid if your user of AP. I will not reply to anyone asking about payments on a processor that is down.
Also if someone was able to get through to AP and made a upgrade I will also have to wait for AP up to confirm that as well.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused by the AP down time.”
Frogress is still offline and I noticed that the site is still hosted on BlockDos i.e. nameservers have not been redirected yet. I wonder why it takes the admin so long to get the website back online but it’s certainly a bad sign that it’s not done yet. With every passing day the chances for full recovery are getting slimmer, especially if you consider that the payouts stopped two days ago. Anyway, the latest update from the admin of Frogress posted on forums doesn’t seem too encouraging:
“Just hang tight guys, wait for my update in couple hours or tomorrow morning. I myself am tired of waiting already.
We will ribbit soon. I am limiting my stay on forums to avoid questions that I cannot answer and so no one gets upset.
Please wait for official update.
I am glad we have loyal members here and they appreciate the work i put into Frogress. There are things we need to discuss in order for us to move on.”
It came as a complete, but not unwelcome, surprise to me when I discovered today I received two pending withdrawals from FastProfitSurf to my LR account. I considered this program dead a long time ago. But the admin of FastProfitSurf Paul can’t stop surprising me and many members were also paid today. I wonder what his next step will be and if he’s going to open another program soon after refunding everybody or continue with FastProfitSurf. We will wait and see!
But who is definitely going to open a new program soon is the admin of VolcanoInvest. Otherwise why would he bother sending out such strange emails to the former members of his program? Here is the email I received from him today:
“We would like to thank you for your patience.
The 90% of the reviewing process is complete. Our Staff is working under Refund Rules at the moment.
On Dec, 3 the Refund Rules will be published on the site and the Refund process will start. Please, do not e-mail us with questions before.”
Yes, sometimes e-mails coming from the admins of online investment programs can be really strange. Like the one I received today from the admin of 2008-N (reviewed here):
“2008-N Investment Co,Ltd Monthly Report(November)
Total motorcycles and ATVs imported 3,214 unites
Average profit from per unit $517.54
Total profit from motorcycles $1,663,373.56
Total profit from other products imported $1,279,483.87
Our Total profit last month is 2,942,857.43”
In my honest opinion the numbers shown in this report are slightly exaggerated to say the least. Who would imagine that the members of 2008-N deal with a huge company with almost 3 million dollars turnover, lol?
The admin of SilverInvest Louise (interviewed here) recently announced very generous special rates for the members who decide to invest within the next few days. Obviously the program needs to raise more money and the admin explained it by the fact that they need to arrange some deal before Christmas. Here is this update:
“Several of you have taken advantage of our special VIP fund offering and I would like to congratulate you for making a sound decision. Your funds are secure and have enabled us to purchase additional silver stock over the last couple weeks.
As we are nearing the end of the year, Dominique and I have decided to accept more investment applications, primarily to take advantage of upcoming year-end silver deals. Dominique has stressed that we can’t miss these opportunities and I have agreed to increase referral levels to 10% to attract more investors. Interested members and referral hunters have 72 hours to take advantage of this special promotion.
Members who have been with us for some time now probably know that I would never extend a great offer without adequate compensation for our loyal members. During the special promotion, you will receive 10% extra on your next upgrade and 20% on upgrades over 2,500 USD.
Please take advantage of my generous offers and enable me to satisfy Dominique’s request by the end of next week.”
I would like to report that I was paid today from several different programs including: Tradelite, AggeroInvestment, TrafficAlmighty, GoldNuggetInvest, InoFund, 2008-N, LargeSum, SurfPal, FXOIC, NoRiskInvestment, SafeAtom, Mountain-Mining, EasyCash24, DailyProfitPond, FastProfitSurf, Youmilex, SilverInvest and URInvest.
And to finish today’s news I would like to announce that I joined another very promising program. Even though it’s the end of the year and we should be aware of a lot of risks involved I simply couldn’t miss such a quality program as EKOFunds that just launched yesterday. The program accepts a wide variety of the most popular payment processors including LibertyReserve, SolidTrustPay, StrictPay and PerfectMoney. EKOFunds offers two main plans with direct payouts: 110% after 5 days and 150% after 15 days. You will be paid to your e-currency account directly within 24 hours from expiration of your deposit. The minimum to invest in EKOFunds is only $5 with a maximum of $50K. Among the distinctive features I liked about EKOFunds include top-notch BlockDos protection, beautiful design and a decent advertising budget as the program has already been joined by many famous monitors. The details of EKOFunds can be read in my usual detailed review that I’m going to publish on my blog tomorrow. Stay tuned and see you then!

WARNING: THE PROGRAM STOPPED PAYING! PLEASE DON’T INVEST!
Hi, guys! Today I’d like to review EKOFunds. As I mentioned in my preview the program impressed me with many features essential for a long-lasting program and to be the next hit in the HYIP world.
So in this article I would like to list all the features which made me join EKOFunds despite the quite unstable Christmas period.

1) The investment plans EKOFunds has to offer are quite typical for the programs with direct payouts. You don’t have to request a payout when it comes to geting your payment from either of the two plans: 110% after 5 days or 150% after 15 days. By the way, you will get paid within 24 hours of your deposits expiry. The minimum to invest is only $5 only for both plans which makes them affordable for everyone.
2) The variety of payment processors accepted by EKOFunds is very rare for such HYIPs. Judge for yourself: the program not only accepts LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney, but also more legitimate e-currencies that require verification: SolidTrustPay and StrictPay. Does it make EKOFunds site more legitimate? I don’t know. But I know that it will attract many new investors which usually don’t play in HYIPs and prefer autosurfs. Anyway, this unfortunate season already brought may autosurfs down so why not try something else for a change?
3) The site of EKOFunds just started two days ago and though it doesn’t make it more reliable the advertising budget the admin has is impressive. You can see the top banners on many major forums and they purchased advertising on some of the top monitors. I bet that the program is going to explode since the first payouts are starting in a couple of days.
4) The design and the layout of the website is great. Obviously the admin didn’t spare any expense on the best design-makers. This will certainly help EKOFunds to compete successfully in this high-competitive field of short-term and medium-term HYIPs.
5) Finally, probably the most important feature is DDoS-protection by BlockDos. And the fact that EKOFunds is hosted on a dedicated server by the best provider for DDoS-protection makes me rest assured that they will not come under possible attacks from their competitors or malicious attempts from hackers.
In a nutshell EKOFunds is one the best new HYIPs I’ve seen and it has everything to become a highly successful program: reasonable and attractive investment plans, the variety of payment processors accepted including STP and SP, decent advertising budget which is necessary for fast growth, professional layout and top-notch DDoS-protection that should help the program to stay online when others will fail. Of course, you should remember the coming Christmas and don’t spend what you can’t afford to lose. But then that’s really a common rule that should be applied to all online investment opportunities as they are risky in their nature. I made my choice and invested in EKOFunds yesterday and I will update you on my blog when I receive the first payout from my 110% after 5 days plan. I’m also planning to conduct an interview with the admin of EKOFunds soon so stay tuned for that, guys!
Other news for today.
Let’s look at some news for today. As you might have noticed my site is experiencing difficulties with loading and I hope that it will be resolved soon. Also my monitoring page has not been updated since yesterday because even before I had problems with accessing my cPanel. So I contacted my provider BlockDos and they are currently working on the problem. I hope it will be fixed soon but meanwhile please don’t pay attention to the monitoring page as it contains outdated info. I will update it as soon as possible and will let you know about it on my blog. Thanks for your understanding, guys!
Some sites are still experiencing difficulties like Tradelite for example which is still offline patching up the loopholes that let some hackers empty some members’ accounts. The security audit is still in progress and here is the latest update from the admin:
“We are performing a full internal security audit and we will be back as soon as possible.”
We have nothing to do but wait but I believe Tradelite will not disappoint us and be back as soon as possible.
DailyProfitPond (reviewed here) was also experienced some difficulties with accessing their domain address and for some time you were only able to access the temporary URL. Now it seems everything is ok and the admin posted an official update already regarding this:
“Our domain name issue is resolved and we are now back on DailyProfitPond.
We apologize for all inconveniences this has caused. It was a technical issue but I thank our tech team who has worked non stop to get all issues resolved within 24hrs.
For now, lets get back to business as usual. We continue to process all payouts as we look forward to our major December Contest. Thanks everyone for your support.”
Meanwhile the admin of DailyProfitPond assured the members that the program was here to stay and they were going to continue to run the program till they reach 50,000 members after which they will go private. Well, it’s a very bold statement in my opinion that can be achievable in the long run as at the moment of writing this there were 6648 members in DailyProfitPond. In addition there were many important reminders mentioned in this latest update so please read it carefully, especially if you’re new to DailyProfitPond:
“Hello. We would like to assure our DPP members that DailyProfitPond is here to stay. Negative comments have been brought to our attention. We are wanting our members to know that this is a viable program and anyone can join DailyProfitPond, claim profit spots at $12.00 per profit spots and earn a whole 144% profit returns in 12 days viewing only 12 sites daily on the daily profit pond.
• DailyProfitPond is an Advertising Traffic Exchange. We offer “Paid to Surf”, as well as a safe place to advertise your opportunity or sites.
• Although we might have experienced some tech issues in all areas, we do have all our files backed up every 6hrs.
• We have the most experienced tech team to set up a program of this nature. They are capable of dealing with any of our technical issues.
• We have professional DDOS protection from a professional company and we are registered offshore.
• We are going strong and we ask that you get your information from our support service. Forums are great fun and informative but not always reliable.
• Each member can place withdrawals at any time within Monday to Fridays. Cash out buttons are not enabled during weekends.
Minimum of $5.00 withdrawal and a Maximum of $2000.00 withdrawals daily. All Withdrawals are fulfilled between 5 – 7 Business days. (But usually In much less time)
Once again, we want to thank all our new members who joined the pond today. Over 186 exciting new people became pond members today and ready to grab their profit spots.
As we grow daily, let me use this opportunity to inform all our members that as soon as we reach 50,000 members the Pond will stop all new registration and go private. Only existing Pond members will be eligible to profiting from the pond.
Thanks in the meantime and looking forward to a rewarding relationship with all our pond members.”
SurfPal (reviewed here) is also back after a brief breakdown experienced yesterday. It seems everything is ok now and the admin Enrique keeps paying me on a daily basis. By the way, I’m going to publish an interview with him tomorrow so stay tuned for that.
Honestly, I’m totally disappointed in the admin of Frogress Jake. It seems his program will never recover. It has been almost a week since the site was brought down after supposedly “bad service” from BlockDos. Now I think it was just a simple ruse bringing the site down and having enough time to withdraw the money from all the payment processors (he never explained to me properly what really happened that day that made him close the site prematurely). The payouts have also stopped and the latest were made on November 29th if I’m not mistaken. So the latest update from Jake simply makes little (if any) sense to me. I’m almost 100% sure now that Frogress is dead. Anyway, here is this update for those who still believes in Jake and his frog kingdom:
“I sincerely ask for your patience and your understanding that I am quite slow at these times. I am awaiting some crucial information and decision and then I will update you will full details on what our next step would be. There is a very important thing that we will surely need to discuss and I can’t wait to discuss it with you but I am only asking for some more time so I can completely be ready for everything. If you cannot wait it’s fine with me because I can always say goodbye but that is not the path I choose to go to. So please give me some more time. I am going to post daily until it’s all ready.”
By the way, my last emails to Jake went unanswered though he was quite talkative before. That also gave me some food for thought and my forecast regarding the future of Frogress is not bright at all. I hope I’m wrong!
The newest addition to my list of autosurfs is 12DailyHits that I joined only yesterday. Yes, I know that it may be bad timing when so many autosurfs are collapsing. But I hope the admin, Edgar, can achieve what others couldn’t – make his autosurf successful before Christmas. I’m going to publish a review of 12DailyHits very soon on my blog. It’s a traditional 12% for 12 days autosurf with payouts on expiry. The minimum ad pack purchase is $6 and the autosurf is based on NeverSay script which should be very familiar to experienced surfers already. The payouts are processed within 72 hours of expiry. The payment processors accepted by 12DailyHits are LibertyReserve, AlertPay and PerfectMoney.
Speaking of PerfectMoney, the admin (read my interview with him here) published an update on their site where they introduced another new withdrawal option – Prepaid cards:
“PerfectMoney does not ease its development dynamics and offers its customers one more innovative feature. This time we have made PerfectMoney even more easily convertible currency by expanding system’s withdrawal options. Now PerfectMoney users have got an opportunity to withdraw their funds by purchasing prepaid cards. Starting from now you can buy Prepaid card, activate it and hence to exchange your PerfectMoney into other e-currency. A strong demand we’ve witnessed the first days proves the convenience of this withdrawal option.
Working on usability improvement and on your time saving in the work with finances we have launched an option which enables you to systematize the payees and simplifies the money sending. Step by step PerfectMoney is going to continue offering its new services and the functional features to bring the work with electronic finances to the ideal level together with you, our dear customers.”
To finish I would like to tell you that we should expect some exciting update from the admin of GoldNuggetInvest (interviewed here) very soon. He asked me not to publish the news yet but I believe we will all be glad to hear what it is soon. By the way, I got paid today not only by GoldNuggetInvest, but by many different programs including LargeSum, URInvest, ResidualForexIncome, SurfPal, PanaMoney, NoRiskInvestment, Commoditex, FXOIC, AggeroInvestment, InoFund, 2008-N, MajorBarter, SurfExchange (still have two pendings though), SafeAtom, Mountain-Mining, ANOI, MutualForexFund, Youmilex, SummitReserve and EKOFunds (the first ref comms received). See you on my blog tomorrow, guys!
