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

Hi, guys! Today I would like to review another recent addition to the many low-ROI programs I have joined recently. Such programs can be less risky and more profitable in the long run compared to high-ROI programs. Its called GlobalTraderGroup and I think it can become one such promising program. Originally being launched in January of this year the program has come a long way before it evolved into its current shape with constant developments and improvements along the way. I will not look farther into the history of that program as I was not a member at that time so I will discuss GlobalTraderGroup as the program that I see before me now.

Ok, the first impression I got when first visiting this site was quite positive. The layout was quite decent, with live support, licensed Neversay script and reasonable plans. In addition, the domain of GlobalTraderGroup was registered for two years and they were hosted on a dedicated server by HushHosting (so we should expect a decent level of DDoS-protection from them). But let’s first have a look at the plans on offer and try to analyze what plan would be a better option for an online investor.

I must say first that originally GlobalTraderGroup had two investment plans and that just recently another two special plans were added. The choice of payment processors accepted by the program is simply overwhelming and include: LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, AlertPay, SolidTrustPay, EcuMoney and StrictPay. So any fans of a particular payment processor will be satisfied by such variety of choice. Please note that on all the plans the principal is included in daily or monthly payments and will not be returned at the end of your investment term.

So I’ll start with the original plans which have been running for quite a while already. And the first and most traditional plan offers from 1.1% to 1.5% daily profit depending on the amount deposited for 200 business days (so you will not be paid on Saturdays and Sundays). The minimum amount to deposit in this plan is $20 and if you are a small investor in GlobalTraderGroup you will be able to break even in 91 business days (which is approximately 128 calendar days). Your total profit will be 220% including your principal which is not so good compared to other plans which will be outlined below.

Second plan which was on offer from the beginning is Monthly plan offering 36% for 9 months (if your deposit ranges from $150 to $4,999) or 44% for 9 months (if you deposit more than $5K). On this plan you may expect your total profit from 324% to 396% including your principal. You will be in profit in three months time but this plan is considered more risky because you are paid only one monthly.

Other two plans were added just recently and they both are called Special Plans. Let’s have a brief look at them too. First special plan is aimed at large investors willing to deposit from $500 to $5,000 to GlobalTraderGroup. For that you will be getting 1.8% every business day. The duration of this plan is 90 business days so in the end you will get 162% ROI total (principal included). You will be in profit from this plan on your 56th day which is quite good rate but not as good as the second special plan on offer.

The second special plan is the best option if you wish to invest in GlobalTraderGroup and here is why. First, you will get the highest daily percentage possible of 2.05% every business day so you will be break even in just in 49 business days (69 calendar days). Second, the term of this program is 150 business days so your total profit could reach 307.5% (principal included). And third, the minimum to invest into this plan is the lowest and is just $10 so any investor can participate in this. The rates on this second special plan is not dependent on the amount deposited and you will still be getting your 2.05% daily.

The first question here is why the plans are so strangely calculated because it’s quite obvious to me that the plan offering 2.05% for 150 working days is the best in profit ratio, risk vs. reward level and offers the lowest minimum possible. This is kinda strange and is definitely aimed at the investors who can’t calculate their profits properly.

I would not take seriously their claims of having profits by “by Forex market trading and investing in various funds and activities“. In my honest opinion, such claims should be confirmed by at least screenshots of the Forex trading accounts. Anyway, if the admin shows me any real evidence of their investment activities I will gladly publish it on my blog. Until then just treat GlobalTraderGroup like a regular HYIP with all its advantages and disadvantages but having a long history behind it and so being quite a promising program in my opinion.

Other news for today.

Let’s get back to some interesting news now. SilverLodge announced (again?) that they would be going private this coming Monday. Everybody who are not going to invest within the next week will be deleted from their database for inactivity:
“We wish you all a great weekend, on Monday when we are back we will close our site for new signup, on the 21.06.2009 everyone who did not invest or is inactive will be deleted“.
Does this sound awfully familiar to you? I can’t count already how many times they announced their closure and then postponed it for some reason or even re-opened again just after a few days. Sounds like a broken record to me, and you? I think there should be absolutely no hype now for the investors of SilverLodge because I would be extremely surprised if this will be their last closure. Any ponzi can’t exist without fresh funds so that will be a huge surprise for me if they could survive even for a month without recruiting new members. Although SilverLodge has always been a pretty mysterious program to me so hopefully everything will go well with their coming privatization or whatever changes that will come next.
On a brighter side, I have also some messages from my readers that told me they were quite satisfied with their investments in SilverLodge and that they are receiving thousands of dollars in profit from them. So not everything is bad here either.
I hope SilverLodge is enjoying their success so far and ready to meet me in their London office at Kensington High street next week when I’m planning to visit them and hopefully make a couple of photos with Louise and Dominique. Do you really believe it will happen? We will wait and see. I would be even satisfied if I could meet their secretary there to find out more about their activities.

MajorBarter is back to Paying status on my monitoring page. Yes, processing the last batch of pendings took more time than usual but eventually I got all of them so I returned MajorBarter to the Paying list. I suppose they got enough money from their so called promo campaign offering special plans to their investors, lol. I remind you that yesterday and even today my email is full of “Special offers” from MajorBarter, well, supposedly from MajorBarter, but then it appeared that one investor that opened the e-mail account specifically for communicating with MajorBarter also had received this supposedly “phishing” email. You can draw your own conclusion from this event if you’re smart enough.

Now let’s talk in more detail about phishing emails, spammers and scammers. First of all I would like to comfort every investor and member of PerfectMoney payment processor that received the obviously fake email from the address perfectmoney.compliance@gmail.com (notice that PerfectMoney administration never use free mail addresses to contact their customers). So PerfectMoney is NOT closing at the end of June due to the alleged revoking of their financial license. The admin of PerfectMoney just sent me his official response on that nonsense saying that this email was totally fake originating from one of their competitors, probably EcuMoney. So just forget about that nonsense and I would not even publish this email which I received by the way to another email address which I didn’t used when registering my PerfectMoney account. I don’t want to spread any stupid rumors on my blog and so support such spammers whose only purpose is to get attention to their payment processor. I would also like to show you what PerfectMoney just published on their site. By the way, it just concerns the matter of phishing attacks like the one that happened today:
“PerfectMoney wants to warn you that at the moment some unscrupulous individuals are trying to attack users through the phishing as well as fake e-mails that contain false information about PerfectMoney Finance Corp. We strongly recommend you, dear customers, not to send anyone your personal information (Member ID, password, or email address) otherwise they may be misused by violators for unauthorized access to your accounts.
We also warn you that we never send you email messages asking you to send us your Member ID or password. Stay on the alert and never allow anyone to access your account.

– Do not submit financial information unless there is a symbol for a locked padlock on the browser’s status bar.
Also look for the https:// at the beginning of the Web address. If both of these signs are absent, the Web site is not secure.

OrybFunds (reviewed here) became another victim of a shrewd team that blackmailing the admins threatening to start posting bad votes on famous forums and monitors unless they pay them. To OrybFunds‘ benefit they refused to pay to such team and even published the screenshot of their conversation with such people. Hopefully this courage will be rewarding and I urge you not to pay attention to any badmouthing of OrybFunds you will probably see on forums in no time. Despite of my attitude to this program which surfing rotator is simply a useless thing I can confirm that the program has been paying all the time. Here is the last email I received from the administration of OrubFunds regarding all this incident:
“We come to you again today with another update.
It seems OrybFunds is gaining more attention within the past few days. We have just received another threat and want to update our members so they know and wont get worried if they find any negative posts in forums.
Below is a print screen of the e-mail and the chat window between our admin and the perpetrator;

http://hosting11.imagecross.com/image-hosting-02/2613ymthreat.jpg (chat window)
Our admin contacted the perpetrator with the intention to assist him with any questions he may have regarding OrybFunds before investing as mentioned in the e-mail.
We would like to inform everyone that we have never paid for any type of forum posting service or any similar service of any kind.
We hope this update will prepare our members for any negative posts that may arise in the near future.
We thank all our members for their support and hope no one jumps to conclusions when faced with negative responses towards OrybFunds without asking us first.”

To finish the topic of scammers I would like to bring you some news from StableInterest project (reviewed here). The administration informed the members that they had discovered a mirror of their site on another domain trying to steal the sensitive info from the original investors of StableInterest. They have reported the site already and hopefully it will be removed soon. So far please be aware that StableInterest has a phishing site now so always check the URL address you have in your browser:
“Dear friends, We have detected the phishing site, which is a mirror of an original site StableInterest.
The fraudulent site is tx-invest.com. Please don’t make any registrations on the site of tx-invest.com.
Your password and other private data may be stolen.

My introduction of a new surfing program EarnerSurfer on public forums offering 7% for 20 days with payouts on expiry has gotten a very positive reaction among experienced players in this arena. Many compared the site with Aggero and Pac and hoped that EarnerSurfer would be the site that will last long enough and continue the successful tradition of a program run by professionals for months and not run by amateurs weeks. The admin of EarnerSurfer Chris is quite active on forums and I believe the program will become a very popular one even faster than I first thought it mighr. Here is one of the many posts left by Chris on MMG forum:
“I’m glad you like the idea of me approving sites before being added to the surfbar. Enjoy your smooth surfing with EarnerSurfer everyday!
Today has been a fantastic day and a wonderful start for EarnerSurfer, glad we are welcomed with such great support with an amazing supporting team.”
I’m preparing a detailed review of EarnerSurfer which will contain the detailed instruction on how this program works so don’t miss it! I’m planning to publish the review on my blog this coming Sunday.

But tomorrow you will be able to read a very interesting interview on my blog with Thomas, the admin of another promising surf/cycler program TheDollarDiggers. I have already published the review of this program on my blog (read it here) but to find out how it all works first-hand you will be able tomorrow. TheDollarDiggers program managed to get about 400 members already and to hit the target of 500 members by the end of their first month online the admin announced the referral contest the rules of which I’m publishing below:
“I received a chat message from Russ the Admin of my hosting provider and informed me that the downtime happened earlier was not really a DDOS attack, it was just some glitch in the server and assured me that everything was fixed and it will not happen again. So no need and reason to panic.
However I want to say thank you to all members who informed me about it.
Now onto the good things.
We are now at 371 and we have not started a Referral Contest yet. So I will make one that will start today June 11th until June 18th for the 2nd Category and until June 26th for the remaining 3 Categories. This will not be a typical Referral Contest and there will be 4 categories, 1 on each Plan.
1st Category – Digger Infinite Plan
– The first member to bring 3 referrals that bought at least 1 Ad Pack in Infinite Plan (must follow the rule in buying) will receive 10% of the total Ad Pack purchased of the 2 referrals and 1 x2 ADMIN SPOT in 3 Stage Cycler Plan.
– 2nd to 5th members will receive 5% and 1 ADMIN SPOT each in 3 Stage Cycler Plan.
2nd Category – Digger 12×12 Classic Plan (Until June 18th only)
– The 1st member to bring 12 upgraded referrals, bought Ad Packs in 12×12 Classic and followed the rule applied, will receive 10% of the total upgrades of the 12 referrals and 1 ADMIN SPOT in 3 Stage Cycler Plan.
– 2nd to 5th members will receive 5% and 10 positions each in 3 Stage Cycler Plan.
3rd Category – Digger Quick Plan
– The 1st member to bring 10 upgraded referrals, bought Ad Packs in Quick Plan, will receive 10% of the total upgrades of the 10 referrals and 1 ADMIN SPOT in 3 Stage Cycler Plan.
– 2nd to 5th members will receive 5% and 5 positions each in 3 Stage Cycler Plan.
4th Category – Digger 3 Stage Cycler Plan
– The 1st member to bring 5 referrals that bought ADMIN SPOT each will receive 10% of the total upgrades of the 5 referrals and 1 x2 ADMIN SPOT in 3 Stage Cycler Plan.
– 2nd to 5th members will receive 5% and 1 ADMIN SPOT each in 3 Stage Cycler Plan.
Rules –
1) Referrals from today June 11th until June 18th for 2nd Category and until June 26th for the 3 remaining Categories are the ones counted and not the previous you already have. But if they are free and purchased an Upgrade from today till June 26th and entered in any of the 4 Categories then they are counted too.
2) If the 10% or 5% equivalent is higher than $70, only half can be cashed out and the other half must be used to purchase in any of the 4 Plans TDD have. I would suggest 3 Stage Cycler but I will give you freedom to choose.
3) No referring of your self. No same IP.
4) All members including Monitors can join in the fun.
Please track your referrals and send me an email once you hit the target on each Plan. I will do round check also daily to see who are leading on each category and will do my best to update you all daily.
Let us try to hit 500 members before TDD turns 1 month old. Can we do it? OF COURSE WE CAN! Remember we are a TEAM and FAMILY TDD.
Questions are welcome so send me an email if you have one and I will surely answer them.”

That’s all for today and except Fexity program which turned into a scam yesterday all other programs on my monitoring page seem to maintain their paying status. And personally I was paid from the following programs during the last 24 hours: Merchandies, SilverLodge, AsianInvestGroup, TheDollarDiggers, MajorBarter, PanaMoney, CoolReturn, NorthBizz, Ivy-Castle, GeniusFunds, ExcellentProfit, ForexExperts, Treckswana, XagaEnterprise, NovalexFinance, OrybFunds, InvestiMates, EnscoOffshore, ElegantMoney, GlobalTraderGroup and EarnerSurfer. Have a nice weekend, everybody, and see you on my blog tomorrow!
