29/03/2011. OrientProfit Review and Daily News from the Industry

BEWARE! THIS PROGRAM HAS STOPPED PAYING! DO NOT INVEST!

Hi everyone! A pretty interesting HYI program to come my way recently, one that might capture the attention of those who can never make up their minds between long term or short term programs, is OrientProfit. They were one of several new programs added to my monitoring page over the last week or so, so I’d like to take a closer look at them this evening before we get to the news.

OrientProfit has two investment plans for you to look at, but despite there being so few of them they’re practically like “chalk and cheese” they’re so different. But as one of them will appeal to fans of short term HYIPs and the other one to longer term fans then chances are you might like at least one of them. Of course whether the existence of one plan can have an adverse affect on the sustainability of the other is a whole other matter. But in this case I’d say probably not, because on a day-by-day basis the actual profit being earned by either plan is actually quite similar.

I guess I’ll start with the longer term option for the simple reason that it’s the cheaper of the two plans to join. For entry OrientProfit will require you to make a minimum deposit of $10, though if you like you can spend anything up to a $20,000 maximum. But I guess most of us will be a little closer to ten, lol! Anyway, the investment term then runs for 120 calendar days during which OrientProfit will make daily interest payments of 2.5% which will add up to 300% over the plan’s duration. On completion of the term your principal will then be returned.

So let’s say you were to spend $100 in this plan. That would bring in $2.50 per day, $17.50 per week, allow you to earn back your original hundred after forty days, and finish with a total profit of $300. Your principal is then added to this.

Of course if that doesn’t suit you for whatever reason (or maybe you just prefer something a little faster) then OrientProfit‘s other plan has an investment term of just 12 calendar days. The price of joining it goes up however and will require a $50 minimum deposit. The maximum is still $20,000 unlikely as it is you’d be going that far. What you are offered in return is a single lump sum payment made on expiry of 120% interest, a figure that includes your principal this time. So in other words were you to invest $100 here the intention would be to get back a single payment of $120 when the term finishes.

A couple of other points to consider about the plans would include – and I really can’t emphasize this enough – that you need to be extremely careful when considering that second plan. The thing is that OrientProfit have worded it in such a way as to make you think you might get paid 10% interest per day for 12 days. You won’t! You may “earn” it, but you will not actually “be paid” it. There is only one single payment and that will only be made on expiry, so just make yourself aware of that before spending anything. In fact I didn’t realize this myself until after I signed up but the admin confirmed it after I asked him.

The other point I wanted to make was of course about payment methods. Currently you can sign up for OrientProfit using AlertPay, LibertyReserve, or PerfectMoney. All payments are made manually and will need to be requested from within your member’s area. Once you have made the request then the admin requires a maximum of 48 hours to make sure everything gets processed.

OrientProfit is running off a licensed GoldCoders script and is hosted on a dedicated Staminus server with Koddos protection and support so the downtime, should any occur, is expected to be minimal. From within your member’s area you have the option to detect any changes in the IP address that’s being used to access your account, but what you don’t have is SSL encryption. For any questions relating to that or any account related queries you can contact the OrientProfit admin by filling in your details on the support form found on the contacts page and submitting it.

As for a business plan, you know when I see the same texts being copy/pasted on a dozen different websites, I tend to believe none of them. Even the original author starts to look a little dubious and that, as long term MNO readers will already know anyway, is what I say about anything in this industry. And OrientProfit is no exception. For the record the cover story is “Currency, Metals, Index, Futures and Stocks etc”, none of which is elaborated on in any way. So until they can comprehensively prove otherwise you know to proceed with the same level of caution here as with anything in the online HYIP industry. Set yourself an affordable spending limit and stick to it, and always try to diversify your investments.

DAILY NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY.

I see that many HYIPs accepting SolidTrustPay as a payment option were affected by the site’s downtime and therefore are unavailable to process STP withdrawals at the moment. According to the information on STP’s official blog such long downtime (for over 24 hours already) was not expected by the administration themselves who first promised that this was just routine maintenance. Some complications arose during the process however, making the process take a bit longer than first anticipated. The official update from STP doesn’t specify the exact time they hope to be fully operational again. So just wait and hope for the best. Here is the latest from SolidTrustPay:
“Routine Site Maintenance
Please be advised that we will be doing routine site maintenance through the night of Sunday, March 27, 2011. Access to the site will be intermittent during this time.
UPDATE – maintenance is, unfortunately, taking longer than expected and your patience is appreciated. We are confident the site will be completely available for you the morning of March 29, 2011.
NOTE – as we are updating our SSL certificate, if you see an SSL certificate warning, simply click the Add Exception option and continue. If you then see our “Maintenance” page, simply try again later, as the maintenance is not yet completed in your area.
Should you require assistance during this time, you are welcome to create a support ticket through our Support Centre.”

The better more professional program admins accepting SolidTrustPay have already reported their own delays connected with the STP inaccessibility. For instance, the admin of GorgonProjectInvest Paul (interviewed here) placed the following update on his website:
“Solid Trust Pay Withdrawal Delays
Due to continuing maintenance on the STP web site we are unable to complete pending STP withdrawals. As soon as their site is back we will complete them.
This does not affect ANY other e-currency withdrawals.”
I remind you that apart from STP GorgonProjectInvest accepts a whole bunch of other payment processors including such popular choices like LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and AlertPay and the more exotic ones like GlobalDigitalPay and Pecunix. I don’t think therefore that GorgonProjectInvest will be somehow affected by STP downtime, especially considering that according to their last stats report the deposits from STP only comprise 4% of the total funds invested. GorgonProjectInvest is currently one of the most popular programs ranking #3 on MNO and offering 1.9% for 30 days, 2% for 90 days, and 2.2% for 180 days with principal returned on expiry. GorgonProjectInvest has been running for over three months and you can read more about them in the review published here.

DenXon (reviewed here) is another program to send an update today regarding the pending withdrawals to SolidTrustPay. Here it is:
“Our STP withdraw request still pending due to STP downtime. We will clear all pending when STP will online
Thank you. DenXon Team”.
Apart from SolidTrustPay though DenXon also accepts AlertPay, LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney to a 2.5% daily forever plan with a $20 minimum to invest and $50 minimum accepted into 12% for 12 days plan. More on DenXon can be read also in my interview with its admin Nicole published here.

SafeDailyFund (reviewed here) was attacked for the first time today. I hadn’t noticed it personally because the site was fully operational for me at the time I made my withdrawal and was paid instantly as usual to my LibertyReserve account. SafeDailyFund is a pretty new program which has only been listed on MNO for six days and offers instant payouts to LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, AlertPay and GlobalDigitalPay processors on the following plans which return your principal on expiry – 1.5% for 10 calendar days, 2% for 20 business days, and 2.5% for 40 business days. The fact that SafeDailyFund has been attacked today means that many HYIP admins see a serious competitor in this program and according to their own admin it’s a sign that they’re being taken seriously enough not only by investors but also by competing admins. He also encouraged everybody to ask any questions which are going to be answered pretty soon. Read the latest newsletter from him below to find out more about the recent news from SafeDailyFund:
“Hello. It appears that SafeDailyFund is experiencing its first mild ddos attack. This is usually caused by an individual or an investment company upset with the success of SafeDailyFund. They attempt to ruin our reputation. However, our ddos protection provider Dragonara.net is working as fast as possible to mitigate the attack, and should have this resolved in no time.
As you may know, Dragonara.net is one of the best providers of DDoS protection in the business and guarantees 99.9% uptime and recovery. Please be patient during this time if you experience any downtime with our site, as we are aware of the situation and resolving it as fast as possible. SafeDailyFund will be fully operational again within a few hours time. When our site is available again, you will be able to continue instant deposit and withdrawals as normal.
If you have any questions during any downtime we may have, please email directly to safedailyfund@gmail.com . We will answer any inquiries that is received to this email address regarding this matter within a few minutes time. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
In best regards, Al Potter – SafeDailyFund”.

Last night I reviewed a program called BusinessVentureFunds. The admin, Jonathan, was quite pleased with it and let his members know where they can read it in his latest newsletter. I remind you that in order to invest in BusinessVentureFunds you don’t have to create an account as the profit of 2.15%-2.85% (depending on the size of your deposit) will be sent directly to your LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney accounts during the 120 business day period after which your deposit will be returned to you. The other stuff you would like to know is given in my review of BusinessVentureFunds posted here. This is the latest email from Jonathan:
“Hello all, I am very pleased to inform you all that Paul from Money-News-Online has published a review about BusinessVentureFunds. Here is the link to the review –
http://money-news-online.com/blog/2011/03/29/28032011-businessventurefunds-review-and-daily-news-from-the-industry
Also, I would like to take this opportunity to personally welcome all the new members who joined us over the last few days. Please do feel free to contact our support team by email or live chat if you have any questions about our program.
Regards. Jonathan”.

There was some important questions answered today in the latest email from the administration of Roserlink. The program has been paying for a couple of months already but was added to MNO just recently. Roserlink pays 1.2%-1.5% for 100 business days (principal back) and 135% after 1 month (principal included) to SolidTrustPay, LibertyReserve, GlobalDigitalPay and PerfectMoney payment processors. It looks pretty simple at first glance but we must remember that Roserlink runs the site on a script that might not be familiar to a wider investment audience. Nothing like GoldCoders for example. I myself tried to cover everything in my detailed review of Roserlink posted here but if you want to find out more about compounding, support features, and accumulating earnings and withdrawals in your account you can read the latest newsletter from them which contains the answers to all the common questions possibly being asked by so many investors that it was decided to address them in a single newsletter:
“Due to numerous support requests that come from our existing and potential members we have decided to send another newsletter with some information concerning account and deposit management with Roserlink.
COMPOUNDING
The first thing you need to know is that compounding is available and you can change the percentage at any point in time by clicking “Compounding” button in your account. Remember that you don’t have to set compounding rate once you make deposit. You can set it afterwards, it is set to 0% by default.
SUPPORT COMMUNICATION
We take extra care of communicating with our members and solving arising issues. Specially for these purposes our developer integrated a built-in support ticket system in your account. It is very easy and convenient to use without having to log into your email box or sending us an e-mail from site.
ACCUMULATING EARNINGS AND WITHDRAWALS
We once again remind our members that all earnings on their deposits are credited to their Cash balance. In order to transfer your earnings please go to “Transfer cash balance” section and transfer the desired amount to your Wallet from where you can withdraw later on.
Another important thing to bear in mind is that all withdrawal requests are processed within 24 business hours after careful manual check. So if you have decided to withdraw from your wallet more than once per 24 hours please do not expect that it would somehow speed up procession.
We always pay, we pay on time, but we pay according to the schedule.
We sincerely hope that this set of tips was useful at least to some part of our membership and will simplify their experience with us. Stay updated and never hesitate to ask more!
—- Warm regards, Roserlink Team”.

And so after dealing with so many professionals, unfortunately we now need to turn our attention to some of the less savory characters we sometimes have to deal with in the HYIP industry. I think “thieves” is basically the word I’m really looking for here, that and their efforts to scam you out of your money. It’s come to my attention that a couple of low quality short term scams have been sending out mass spam e-mails where they pretend to come from me and providing you with a ref link for you to join under. I’m not going to mention the programs here for the simple reason that if you haven’t received it then it doesn’t matter, but if you have received it then you know who I’m talking about.

Please note that I do not have any connection – monitoring or otherwise – with them and do NOT advise you to join them. I have examined the programs and can tell you they are low grade scams with no real security and are relying on spam to steal money from you. They have a very simple technique of “masking” their own e-mail address and making it appear as if it’s been sent by somebody else. This has been confirmed by Google. If you reply to this spoofing e-mail your answer will be received by the person being imitated – in this case me – but the real intention is that you will just deposit first without asking any questions.

This is from Gmail:
“This message was likely forged and did not originate from your account.
More info: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=50200
One common tactic used by spammers is to send a message to a recipient, and fake the ‘From:’ field to contain the same address. Spammers hope that because the mail is sent ‘from’ your address, it will slip past our spam filters. But not so fast! Gmail authenticates all of our mail, so we know when a message wasn’t actually sent by you. We do our best to place these forged messages in your Spam folder.
Because Gmail replaces your email address with ‘me’ when you look at lists of messages, you may see spam mail from ‘me’ in your Spam folder. All this indicates is that someone forged the return address on your messages to be your own email address.
If we miss any messages, we ask you to report them by checking the box next to the unwanted message and clicking Report Spam at the top of your inbox, or by opening the message and clicking Report Spam at the top of the message.
You can help stop spammers by also sending the full headers of these unlawful messages to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov.
If you feel that you may be a victim of identity theft, we suggest contacting your local authorities.”

Everybody who joins that program under the spam ref link will be personally notified by me that MNO has nothing to do with this scam. I will be doing the same for any further subsequent programs trying to impersonate MNO in the form of spam. I hate spam and feel obligated to warn MNO readers from joining scams that are advertised by such illegal means, especially if the good name of MNO is involved.

Always remember this – you will only receive an e-mail from MNO under two conditions. One is that you have voluntarily signed up as an e-mail subscriber to receive my daily news updates. Number two is that you have contacted me first asking a question. Anything else you receive, even though it’s been dressed up to look like it comes from MNO, is spam. Especially anything that either solicits money in my name or something that contains a referral link. So I am warning you now that if you have not yet deposited in these programs then don’t, they’re scams. Unfortunately if you did deposit try to withdraw as soon as possible because you will be scammed.

But it’s no wonder that spammers are flourishing in this industry. It continues to amaze me that some investors really believe that LibertyReserve send emails containing special investment plans or with a request to update your account by sending all your passwords to an unknown phishing site. It’s no wonder that popular HYIPs also became victims of such spamming attacks. Just today I received an email from someone pretending to be the admin of BankOfPanama, a program which has been paying perfectly well for 16 days on the following plans – 106%-122% after 1 day, 120%-177% after 3 days, 145%-255% after 7 days, 170%-322% after 10 days, 220%-555% after 15 days, and 800%-1211% after 30 days (more info is in my review posted here). So, by looking on the email address received allegedly from the admin of the program one cannot help but notice that the email was sent not from the regular email but from somewhere else. It looks very similar but still not the same. So, one can only blame himself if he wants to send money to the LR account of a spammer pretending to be an admin of a legitimate program. Please note that such “special” plans can be only announced by the admin of the program and be posted on the website. Such spamming emails should be just ignored by whoever receives it. The same should apply to every email you find suspicious even if it seemingly comes from a legitimate source just like my email for instance which can be faked as well.

I was paid today by the following programs:
OrientProfit (the first payment received), DenXon, PermanentProfit, MidasGoldFund, ExoticFX, ExtraIncome, ImperialFund, SparkMetals, GainBucks, ViscoCorp, AssetManagement, BusinessVentureFunds, BestProfitInv, EurexTrade, SiliconValleyGroup, GorgonProjectInvest, BankOfPanama, Agromatica, FundOfProfit, Profitorium, SafeDailyFund, EliteAlliance and EarnoSphere.

That’s about all for tonight I think. Tomorrow we’ll have the second interview with the admin of OilCapital followed by the latest news from the HYIP industry. Stay tuned and stay with MNO!
