21/05/09. UnitFX Review and Other News

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

Hi guys! Well as we are fast approaching the end of another busy week for money-news-online, I thought I would change course slightly for today’s review. It’s a short term HYIP called UnitFX, which isn’t that unusual, but I just mean apart from LonixFinance I haven’t really been looking at very short term programs recently. Of course I have a couple of other interesting articles in mind for you between now and Sunday, so stay tuned, but today I want to look at this recently launched high ROI program.

UnitFX, like the majority of good short term programs, likes to keep things straight forward. There are just two plans which are both uncomplicated and remarkable in their simplicity. The first one, Plan A, is a short term plan that runs for 8 days and makes daily payments on your investment. Entry will cost you a minimum of $5 and for deposits between that and $1499 you will earn yourself a payment of 15% per day for 8 days. So for a deposit of let’s say $100, your daily payments will tally up to a total of $120, or in other words eight daily payments of $15. Higher investments will earn you higher rates of interest of course with daily interest of 16% paid on amounts from $1500 to $2,999, 17% daily paid on amounts between $3000 and $4,999, and for deposits from $5000 up to the maximum of $20,000 you are offered 17.5% interest per day.

UnitFX also offers an option of higher earnings to those willing to take the obvious higher risk. They call it Plan B, and it also runs for 8 days. This time however it’s just one lump sum payment made to you on expiry. For taking the basic option of an investment from $5 to $1499 UnitFX offers to pay you 130% of your principal on expiry. Do I need to state the obvious here? An investment of $100 will net you $130 returned eight days later. For those willing to sink more serious money into this one, and I merely repeat the following options for information purposes, investments from $1500 to $2999 will get you 142% on expiry, $3000 to $4999 will get 154% on expiry, and finally, spend from $5000 up to the maximum of $20,000 and you are offered 160% interest to be paid on expiry.

There are a couple of other quick points I need to make about the plans here. First of all, and I should have said this earlier, there is no script being used in UnitFX so you will be redirected to deposit straight from your e-currency account without the need to register. You will also then obviously be paid directly into that same account without having to make any payment requests. Another thing you need to remember is that your principal will not be returned. It’s already been factored into the payments so keep that in mind. This is of course usually the case with short term high ROI programs and UnitFX is no exception. The last thing I should mention is the payment processors. The ones accepted here are the usual HYIP’s favorites of PerfectMoney and LibertyReserve. Hardly an extensive list, but again standard fare for a short term typical HYIP game like this one.

Where UnitFX does do better than many of its short term rivals however is in the area of online security. They are hosted on a dedicated server, which at this point is something you should all be insisting on. But in this case they have the very best in protection. They are hosted by BlockDos whose level of service and protection against DdoS attacks remains unrivaled. As I have already mentioned there is no script being used, so the payments are protected via your payment processor’s secure link. Customer support is available via an online e-mail ticketing system, and occasionally when they are online, a live chat function.

OK, so far so good for UnitFX, they have been a good choice for it’s members up to this point, and there have been few complaints from those investors who prefer the fast buck but high risk option. If you like programs like this, well UnitFX have done well. But one thing you need to remember, and this is crucial to protecting your money, is the length of time this program has been in operation. As of the date of this review, they have been accepting deposits for 14 days. I don’t know how many cycles they can complete, but they will soon be entering their third. That’s not a warning, merely a reminder that high ROI usually means high risk so keep it in mind when deciding how much to invest.

Other news for today.

Let’s start today’s news with some clarification for all the members of GoldNuggetInvest (reviewed here). I mentioned yesterday that if you fail to receive your PIN-code to access your account then you should contact the admin of GoldNuggetInvest Robert Spearman (interviewed here) and ask him to solve your problem. But it appears some of you have difficulties with moving your deposit between daily and weekly plans (I remind you that the Daily plan has been halted a couple of days ago). So if you have your deposit in the Daily plan in GoldNuggetInvest you MUST transfer it into the Weekly plan. How to do it? It’s a very simple process. First what you have to do is to release your deposit by clicking the green button showing the active status of your deposit in “Your deposits” tab. After that you will see the following message:
“You are about to withdraw $xxx.xx from your deposit into program Daily Variable into your account balance.
There is no admin fee for this transaction. The full amount will be sent to your account balance. This will end your participation on the program for that deposit.”
Confirm that you want to withdraw your deposit and it will be instantly available in your account balance. After that you will be able to choose a weekly plan and deposit the desired amount into that. The new weekly deposit will be activated to your account instantly and you will be able to receive your weekly profits of 6%-7.5% depending on how much you deposited. I’m going to re-write my original review of GoldNuggetInvest in a couple of days to help you understand the whole process better. Stay tuned for that!

The admin of the fastest growing autosurf program USDozen Roger (interviewed here) sent out another update today. In this update he calmed investors fears about supposedly being redirected today to a different site. Don’t worry, USDozen site is still the same and in full working order. The admin just upgraded the DDoS-protection by HushHosting and now the site is located on a more powerful server which will certainly help it sustain possible DDoS-attacks and all the growing membership numbers in the near future. I remind you that USDozen has one investment plan paying you 11% for 11 days (121%) with the payouts made on expiry. More on this program can be seen in my detailed review published here. More news from the program can be read in the following newsletter from USDozen:
“Hello and how are you doing? I just sent this e-mail to inform you of a very important thing about our website. You really need to read this.
As suggested by HushHosting, I upgraded our server to more powerful dedicated server. This is after I received several extortion emails and threats of DDOS attack and many other things.
If you access USDozen via the domain name usdozen.com and you get redirected to this IP address http://124.217.247.150/ Do not worry, it is our website. It only means that the DNS servers have not resolved in your area. So once you access USDozen and you are not redirected to the IP address, then it means it has resolved in your area.
The server move / upgrade caused a temporary problem in automation of upgrades but upgrades are back to normal now. Another thing is that the server time is now 4 hours earlier than the previous server time. So if you get an error like you “You already surfed for today” then it means that you already did. So best to check the server time and see your earnings statistics to see if you already really surfed for that day.
In case you missed your earnings, you just need to contact me and I will gladly add your missed earnings.
If you have problems with your accounts please contact me.”

It seems I was right about LonixFinance in my review (published here) when I pointed out at the serious security issues which could lead to a massive DDoS-attack and disruption to the stable work of the website. Just after 4 days online LonixFinance was hit by a DdoS attack and now the admin promised to return as soon as possible with the upgraded protection. I wonder why he launched the site without this protection in the first place. I hope this downtime will not affect the good performance of the program and it will be able to resume its stable work and pay all the pending payouts pretty soon. I will announce on my blog when it happens.

Poplans (reviewed here) is currently also experiencing some downtime and is not accessible. Many of you have noticed that for the last few days the Poplans site started to load slower than usual and apparently there was a reason for it. I don’t know what it was, but I hope that the admin will get the site back up as soon as possible. He has already left the message on forums about that and hopefully the site will be online in a few hours as promised.

Verifield site (reviewed here) was also inaccessible for a few hours today and we could see the following message left on the website:
“Website engine is under update. Our System administrators will be upgrading Verifield website engine to our new hardware platform on Thursday, May 21th, 2009, between 3:00 and 08:00 (CET: GMT+2)“.
Fortunately it seems that the upgrading was successfully completed and the site returned online on schedule. Verifield is still paying instantly and you should definitely pay attention on this great site with a completely customized script and friendly support if you are looking for some ways to diversify your investment portfolio.

One of the best performers among low-ROI sites is definitely AsianInvestGroup (reviewed here). Being a pretty successful program for about three months already with two variable weekly plans AsianInvestGroup had suffered from many site’s disruptions recently and the last one made the program inaccessible for several days. Despite this fact AsianInvestGroup is still paying all the withdrawal requests on time and some are being paid instantly while others are being paid very fast after requesting a withdrawal. Today it appears AsianInvestGroup returned online as promised and is accessible again in every part of the world so I returned the program to Paying status on my monitoring page. The fact that the program is paying despite some occasional problems with accessibility with the website is the best indicator that AsianInvestGroup is not over dependent on new deposits too much for it’s survival.

The admin of ForexExperts program (reviewed here) Wendy explained why the program keeps paying on the weekends as well despite the fact that Forex markets are closed from Friday evening to Monday morning:
“Dear members, You may ask me why we still send payments on weekends as the Forex market is closed. Yes, I also asked myself if I should pay you on weekends. But finally I decided to send payments on weekends at the lowest rate. So that our members can get their principal back faster.”
Well, I would not pay attention to what Wendy talked about as it is very questionable if she really is trading on Forex with members’ money. As I outlined in my review of ForexExperts stole the texts from other popular websites and in my opinion it is a very strong indicator that all the “Forex trading” is not more than a nice fairy-tale. Remember that ForexExperts is a high-risk HYIP so you should treat it as a game not to be confused with real trading.

Some very good addition was made today in Ivy-Castle program (reviewed here) and it’s SolidTrustPay. Yes, now among many other payment options outlined in my review Ivy-Castle accepts SolidTrustPay as well of which the admin of the program shared with the members:
“We have good news! Today, you will find a new payment option when you click the section of “withdraw”, yes, it’s not an optical illusion, it’s true. We add an excellent e-currency on Ivy-Castle, that is SolidTrustPay! Now, when you need to make deposit or withdraw, don’t forget that you can try to use STP. We always focus on make better service for our customer. If you have any suggestion please feel free to contact us.”

Unfortunately I have to move one program to Waiting status on my monitoring page and this time it’s FlowBroker. Having been paying great for the last two months FlowBroker suddenly stopped all payments yesterday. Probably the last bonuses offered to investors were the last hope of the admin to attract more deposits to the program to pay to existing members. Apparently his attempts failed because it seems the program is dead now. I would not exclude the possibility just yet that the payouts in FlowBroker might resume in the near future but with every hour the chances that would happed are getting slimmer and slimmer. Anyway, 60 days online was not a bad achievement for a program offering several profitable variations of a 50 day plan with the principal returned on expiry and those who joined FlowBroker early enough should have been well in a nice profit by now.

That is all I wanted to tell you today. Just like usual I will list the programs that paid me for the last 24 hours: GoldNuggetInvest, VentureFundsGroup, AsianInvestGroup, ForexExperts, Treckswana, Fexity, TheDollarDiggers, UnitFX, MajorBarter, GeniusFunds, CascoFunds, NanoMoneyCorp, LonixFinance, GearsOfProfit, SteadyGrowthInvest, NovalexFinance, NorthBizz, PanaMoney, EdwardBrownInvestments, SilverLodge, SigmaTral, OakCash, HighRiseFinance, EnscoOffshore, DamexTrade, Poplans, EwoCapital, TraderSolid and Ivy-Castle. I’ll see you on my blog tomorrow with the review of another promising program SigmaTral.
