12/01/09. Increaser Review and Other News

BEWARE! THIS PROGRAM STOPPED PAYING! PLEASE DON’T INVEST!

Hi everybody! Well I hope your weekend went well and you’re all looking forward to the week ahead. Let’s hope it’s a lucky one. I can’t think of a better way to start it than with a review of what is still only the second good autosurf site of 2009. It’s called Increaser. Well actually it’s not really an autosurf. It’s a manual surf. But there’s also a more lucrative non-surfing plan in Increaser that acts more like a HYIP. This seems to be a growing trend among surfing sites recently as not everybody is into surfing. The difference here though is that the non-surfing plan actually pays you more than the surfing one which is not the norm. Usually it’s the other way around. So let’s get down to business and start as usual with a look at the plans.

First the surfing plan. At 6% daily it pays a bit less than some of the recent big players in this industry, but it involves less work on the members part, albeit for a longer time, and is more than sustainable in the long run. To get paid here you will be required to surf just 5 sites per day at 30 seconds each for 26 consecutive days. You can claim you payouts anytime you like everyday. The price of one single ad pack here is $5 and you can buy anything up to 4000 of them (or $20,000) After one term expires you should be left with a quite respectable 156% return. I don’t know if surfing for 26 days in a row suits everyone, you’ll have to decide that yourself. But if it doesn’t there is the alternative non-surfing plan. It is more profitable, but consequently more risky. It will pay you 8% daily with your profit being added to your account every day but payment only made on your investment’s expiry which is after 26 days. It adds up to a total of 206% so it more than doubles your money. The favored payment processors are LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, and StrictPay. Increaser is hosted on a dedicated server and has all the required anti-DDoS protection an experienced investor would expect. It’s hosted by HushHosting who I must admit are unfamiliar to me. But the fact that they are around a good number of years and the fact that Increaser have had no downtime is ok for me. The script is licensed by NeverSay, which seems to forever be the most popular choice for auto and manual surfs.

Increaser is by no means the only good surfing site out there at the moment but let’s be candid here and admit that the good ones have been few and far between recently. There’s definitely room for one more at least. I do feel the information offered on the site is a little thin, but the admin, Aulis Manninen gladly agreed to answer a few questions for an interview so hopefully that will fill in a few gaps. But the plans are really the most obviously unique thing about Increaser here. On one hand they are very sustainable and will be, I think, for some time to come. On the other hand they are not obviously similar to many of the other sites out there now. And having chatted for a while with the admin I’m fairly satisfied as to his intentions and I would be reasonably confident that he views this as a longer term project. Couple that with the fact that Increaser is only 7 days online and I think that now would be not a bad time to join up to be in with a chance of a long term and sustainable profit.

Other news for today.

I have to put Now-Invest to Waiting status on my monitoring page until all the issues with missing deposits are resolved. I know that it’s not the admin to blame for the current state of things as he’s doing the best he can. But such short-term programs like Now-Invest can be quite sensitive and when it comes to such serious problems like missing deposits or pending payouts the percentage of unsatisfied investors will grow and can affect the program in quite a serious way to the point of its closure. I still believe the admin of Now-Invest is capable of doing this but I simply can’t recommend the program anymore until the deposits are credited and all pendings are processed. This is the latest update from the admin Ryan at the moment of writing this:
“Working on them now. Also processed pendings, go check your accounts!!”
The timing is crucial here and if the program is not able to solve these problems within the next couple of days it will crash, if it is able to solve them it will survive and stay afloat. It’s too early to make any predictions at this point so we will wait and see what happens! By the way, my last deposit is missing as well and I am waiting for it to be resolved by the admin.

The website of StableProfit (reviewed here) has just completed its move to a new dedicated server and the small downtime didn’t affect anything. The payments are still instant to LibertyReserve and it seems nothing can stop StableProfit from growing day after day and especially after the admin Eugene announced about his plans to add StrictPay as their second payment processor in the beginning of February (read more about it in my interview with Eugene which will be published tomorrow). Here is the latest update from the admin for those who can’t access the website because of unfinished propagation on the new server:
“Our website move is done. You can safely access the site again, but it has not fully propagated yet. If you still got “403 Forbidden” error from our old VPS box, please follow this instructions:
On Windows: Go to C:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/hosts using My Computer or Windows Explorer
On Mac 10.2 and later: /private/etc/hosts file
The ‘hosts’ file is plain text, open it with Notepad or any text editor and add these 2 lines at the bottom and save:
64.191.54.166 stableprofit.org
64.191.54.166 www.stableprofit.org
After a 7 days remove those entries, all should work fine without them.”

On Wednesday I’m reviewing WorldMoneyClub. If you remember I mentioned on my blog yesterday that the program is paying 119% after 6 days or 4% for 10 days with the principal returned on expiry. So the good news is that the first withdrawals have been successfully processed (I received mine as well) and all the bugs with browser incompatibility were fixed. Here is the latest update from WorldMoneyClub:
“All withdrawals were processed for today. We will continue tomorrow and so on. Issues regarding login in InternetExplorer 7+ and Opera were successfully fixed by our staff. Do no miss our next newsletter. Big contests are waiting for you.”

Those of you who are still sitting on the fence about joining SilverInvest (reviewed here) should do so quickly because the program just announced it is going private on the 1st of February. If you don’t know anything about SilverInvest please refer to my interview with the admin Louise (published here) to find more. In a nutshell, SilverInvest is offering a variety of plans with daily, weekly and monthly low-ROI returns and is involved in silver trading. The wide variety of payment processors are also accepted and the admin is ready to explain everything to you personally on Skype or over the phone. Anyway, here is the latest from SilverInvest for your consideration:
“Pascal is doing very well and the new plan is getting one of our best investments ever. Please make sure when you request money to enter the correct account data, (your account number and/or name). The minimum request of AlertPay is $1 and for SolidTrustPay $2.5, please do not request less or we send it back to your account balance.
We are growing very strong and will close our program for new members on the first of February, so invite your family members, friends and co-workers before this date, you might never get the opportunity after this date. Also the bi-weekly plan will be closed for new investments at this date, so also make sure you join before or on the first of February to be a part of the bi-weekly project of Pascal.
I wish you all a great and happy week.”

Also SilverInvest together with LibertyReserve payment processor is trying to raise some money to help people from Costa-Rica that were injured or left homeless during the recent earthquake in this country. Here is another update from the admin of SilverInvest Louise regarding this:
“Dear Members, you might have read it on the LibertyReserve Website, LR try to help the people hit by the earthquake in Costa Rica, since we are a proud LR member we donate to this account and we want to ask if you also do, either direct to the LR account mentioned in the LR blog and on there start page or we do it for you. Every investment you do within the next 72 hours (with any payment processor in the Costa Rica Earthquake Fund, what will be paying weekly 5% for 12 month), will be not only used for our investments but 10% will go to LR to help this people. I do not want to sound like someone raising money for an investment, but I offer to give away 10% to LR to help. Starting from now for the next 72 hours, we will show the payment batch in the member area.
We will exchange the investments done with other Payment Options and also send 10% to LR. (So you all can help). Thanks for your help and invest and help now.”

You might be aware that several sites running on BlockDos hosting are experiencing some technical difficulties and are slow to load. I’m speaking about Profitower (reviewed here) but mostly about TradeContract which I reviewed on my blog just yesterday. Hopefully it’s just a temporary problem that will be resolved by their provider BlockDos really soon. I’m also hosted on BlockDos servers and this downtime didn’t affect my site so far and probably will not.

Thank you to everybody (more than 60 readers) who voted on my poll regarding the new blog I was going to launch. I appreciate your opinion and will go with the majority of 59% who think that it’s not necessary for me when I’m already running my investment blog and answering dozens of emails daily. Maybe actually you’re right and I really should concentrate on the investments. To those 41% that were interested in my idea I haven’t rejected it 100% yet and maybe will return to it in the future.

Today I want you to take part in a different poll and this time I would like to ask you which your is your preferred payment processor. There are 5 options to reply to and please choose only one – which you’re using more often or just the one that is your favorite. Please cast your vote on the poll that is located above the list of my favorite programs. For those of you who are receiving my emails via FeedBurner but would like to take part in the voting or check the results please go to any page of my blog and see by yourself. The poll will be open for at least 7 days and I’m hoping for your active participation in it!
