13/04/09. ImperialFinances Review and Other News

THE PROGRAM IS PAYING SELECTIVELY! PLEASE DON’T INVEST!

Hi guys! I hope the holiday weekend is going well for all of you. Monday is also a bank holiday here, so commiserations to those readers who had to battle Monday morning traffic to return to work. Apart from spending the afternoon at the lake (not trying to make you feel jealous, lol!) I was pretty busy myself with money-news. The main focus of my online activities today was a newly launched HYIP called ImperialFinances which I’d like to tell you about now.

There’s been a number of good HYIP sites opening in the last six weeks or so, which is just as well because the autosurf side of things is just awful at the moment. But along with some good programs there has also been several that would at best be described as average and that’s being charitable. I don’t mind telling you from the start that ImperialFinances falls firmly into the first category. It’s an excellent program and I’m quite pleased with myself for having come across it. These ones don’t come along everyday so if your on the lookout for something new, then ImperialFinances might be a good place to start.

I guess the first thing most people want to know about is the plans so let’s start there. This is what I’d call a short term HYIP with some very attractive but achievable rates of interest available. The first of four plans on offer from ImperialFinances offers a return of 115% after a term of 10 days. Payment is on expiry and your principal is included. It’s pretty straight forward right?

Well the other plans are just as easy but as with all HYIPs the risk increases with the reward. For example the next plan is offering another once off payment on expiry, this time of 135% of your principal (which is also included) after a period of 20 days.

The third plan, also the last one that pays on expiry offers a return of 160% on your principal. Of course with the highest return comes the highest risk, so this plan runs a little longer again, this time for 1 month. And of course like the others your principal is already counted in your payment.

The fourth and final plan is a departure from the others. It runs for 4 weeks and makes weekly payments of 35% of your original investment, meaning that at the end of the final week you should have received a total of 140% of your investment which, again, is included. Of course it’s less of a risk in the sense that weekly payouts mean you will at least claw something back in the event of the program collapsing (which I don’t think is likely, but I do need to mention it, just to be fair), but not that much less of a risk when you consider you won’t break even until the third week.

The other things you need to know about the programs is the rather excellent fact that they are all perfectly affordable to all investors. Minimum amount to deposit in any of the four programs is a very nice $5 with the maximum set at $10,000. And you can of course join all four programs if you feel so inclined, just not with more that a total of $10,000. Although I doubt that’s going to be an issue for many of you, lol!

Apart from that there is the list of accepted payment options and here I think the admin has really excelled. As far as HYIPs go the list is extensive. As well as the usual e-currencies we see from HYIPs he has also added the ones that require identity and residence verification which is always a welcome sight. It should I think be very encouraging to those who might be unsure about joining this one as, and I know I’ve said this before, some payment processors take a much more firm stance against scams and fraud than others. The full list includes AlertPay, StrictPay, PerfectMoney, LibertyReserve, EcuMoney and SolidTrustPay.

And so to the security of ImperialFinances. There was one drawback here but having discussed it with the admin I’d be perfectly happy to let it go. That is that it’s not hosted on a dedicated server. Not yet anyway. It does however already have a good level of protection from DdoS attacks. It’s hosted by Koddos Hosting which I must admit is not a company I know a great deal about. I did check out a couple of other sites they host though, just to be on the safe side, and I have to say as far as I can see they provide an excellent level of service with none of the others suffering any downtime that I am aware of. The admin of ImperialFinances told me he took the advice of Koddos who told him there was little benefit in paying for a dedicated server until they reach 1000 members, and went on to offer him a free upgrade should they suffer from a DdoS attack. That’s reasonable I suppose.

The script is licensed from GoldCoders, which I guess will be familiar to most. There is also a very distinguished and professional looking design to the website. But at the same time it remains uncomplicated and easy to navigate throughout. And thankfully the admin has decided to spare us the usual nonsense about Forex trading and global stock markets. I don’t know about you guys but I’ll give him a bonus point for that, lol! Customer support is offered in the form of an online e-mail ticket system and from my own (albeit brief) experience with the admin I have to say he has proved to be highly responsive and very upfront about with any questions I’ve thrown at him.

So what’s the verdict? Well as I made no secret about it at the top of the page, this one is good. I know, I know, only time will tell if ImperialFinances turns out to be as hot a program I’m saying it might, but it’s not just me saying this. A lot of experienced players in this business have been saying the same thing. But it is obvious that the program has been extremely well planned if that counts for anything. For instance a lot of trouble was went to to add such a large selection of payment processors, and all done before the program was launched. Of course every program and its admin has to prove himself and you should take nothing for granted in this business. But I think ImperialFinances have made the best possible start and for that’s all I can really comment on. In my own opinion it’s maybe not the best program out there, but how could it be? It just launched two days ago! But it is one of the better new sites I have seen recently and my feeling is that we are dealing with a well organized program run by a professional admin who has planned for every conceivable problem. I think this one’s gonna run for a couple of months to come but as always the best time to join a program like this is now. By all means do your own research and you don’t always have to accept my word for everything, but I think you’ll find yourself returning to ImperialFinances before too long.

Other news for today.

First of all, I know that there are many AlertPay users among the readers of my blog. So I would like to notify you that tomorrow AlertPay will be down for a few hours for some scheduled maintenance. So please read the update below and don’t worry if you are not able to load the site during the announced timeframe:
“To ensure that our services are running optimally, AlertPay will be performing system-wide maintenance on Tuesday, April 14, between 10:00AM and 1:00PM EST. Our services will only be available after this time period. Thank you for your understanding. The AlertPay Team“.

The admin of the now almost forgotten FloatingFastProfit that was quite a promising pick but folded quite prematurely a few months ago just announced that all members not in profit will be paid refunds. Unfortunately, it’s only 33.3% from the whole amount deposited but still better than nothing. I wonder if another program on X-HYIP script is coming soon or he will just try to revive FloatingFastProfit back to life. We will wait and see what happens. Meanwhile those who were not in profit from that program are advised to contact the admin with your details like as announced in today’s update:
“Dear members, Refund policy: 33.33% for all members which are not in profit.
Send your request to: floatingfastprofit@yahoo.com
Your account ID (digital), your LibertyReserve account number which are registered in FloatingFastProfit project. Thanks.”

Some investors that can consider themselves lucky (I’d consider them smart!) were those that invested in InvestEvolution via StrictPay (it’s one of my favorite payment processors by the way). The thing is StrictPay refunded almost 100% spent in InvestEvolution so those guys applicable to the refund can check their StrictPay accounts. Here is the update from the administration of StrictPay published on forums a couple of days ago:
“If you made a spend with Invest Evolution using StrictPay please check your account for your refund. We refunded just over 93% back to all participants.”

AsianInvestGroup (reviewed here) continues to pay to its investors fast and doing quite well. Today another weekly statement was sent to all the investors with the newly updated weekly rates for the previous week. And here they are:
“Our rates for current week are the following:
Optimized Portfolio – 7.9% weekly (+0.3)
Aggressive Portfolio – 10.8% weekly (+1.0)
Optimized Portfolio Premium (for investments of $1000 and above) – 10.9% weekly
Aggressive Portfolio Premium (for investments of $1000 and above) – 13.8% weekly“.

Unfortunately I have to move two surfing programs (ProjectSurf and CashExplosive) to Waiting status. ProjectSurf are delaying the payouts for more than a week now and with all due respect to the admin I doubt very much that the program will be able to stay afloat with the gap between payout request and actually receiving to your e-currency account gets wider and wider with every passing day. I’ll be glad if I’m mistaken and wish the very best of luck to the admin. At the same time I can’t encourage deposits in what is now possibly a semi-dead program so I will keep ProjectSurf on Waiting status until the payouts catch up. As for CashExplosive, after the admin suddenly changed the rules to the payouts on expiry instead of daily payouts the payouts completely halted and I saw many angry investors on forums asking where their money is. So I’m not sure what is happening with CashExplosive and maybe it’s some slight delay which is not connected with cashflow problems. Anyway, in the interests of the investors reading my blog I decided to move CashExplosive to Waiting status on my monitoring page until the payouts resume. So far it’s not recommended to invest in the programs that have Waiting status so please be aware of this and check my monitoring page regularly before making your decision to invest. Be on the safe side with MNO blog!

LibertyReserve secured login pages are not accessible for me at the moment but I hope by the time you’re reading these line everything is back to normal already. That’s everything I was going to tell you today, guys. Just to finish as usual I’m bringing you the list of programs that paid me today: FinancialProfitsCorp, OakCash, SilverLodge, PanaMoney, NovalexFinance, GeniusFunds, InfrastructureInv, ComradeFinance, Treckswana, AsianInvestGroup, VentureFundsGroup, RobusTrade, ImperialFinances and CascoFunds (the first payment received). See you on my blog tomorrow with the review of another promising program and news and views from the industry!
