30/09/2011. AdvantagesCapital Review and Daily News from the Industry

Beware! AdvantagesCapital has stopped paying! Do not invest there!

Hello all! I’ve finally gotten back home again after my annual summer vacation, which even though I know I didn’t write about it quite so much this summer was still a pretty cool adventure and I did get to see a lot of new places for the first time. I landed in Israel in the middle of the Hebrew New Year celebrations (something I’ll never either get used to or even remember in September, lol!) which to my slight embarrassment had forgotten about completely. So the vacation continues for at least another weekend which I can’t complain about. Anyway, for the second post today I have all the main news stories for you as usual which I’ll be getting to in a few moments but first there’s a recent short term program that was added to my monitoring list called AdvantagesCapital that I want to take a closer look at, and I have to say from all the recently added programs there this one has really impressed me as much as anything. Impressed and surprised too.

Why so? Well, it’s the programs longevity. AdvantagesCapital have been online for a massive 15 months now, having first launched in the Summer of 2010. Proof of that can be quickly verified first by checking when the discussion threads were first started on the main HYIP forums, and then by checking the programs status on the monitors that covered them (a small number but nonetheless popular ones in there). That’s a mightily impressive performance for even a long term program but for a short term one to do it, is indeed a rarity. It’s true however that the program has went barely noticed until recently, and I can only speculate that after opening his program in the midst of what was the worst crisis to hit the industry in five years the admin may have decided to cool things down a bit and just keep things barely ticking over until a more opportune moment came along. But I can tell you that listing your program on those monitors doesn’t come for free so there’s definitely been some activity going on there and somebody has definitely been getting paid all this time. Shame they’ve been keeping AdvantagesCapital a secret from the rest of us though, lol! Because I really like the look of this one.

Like most of the better short term HYIPs over the last couple of years now, AdvantagesCapital try to keep everything as simple and user-friendly as possible. Sure, there’s a lot of factors that can contribute to the rise and fall of any online HYIP, but the most important thing is to get the investors in the door in the first place, give them what they want, and then keep them there. The style of the plans offered by AdvantagesCapital would I say have been a lot more common among shorter term HYIPs back around the time the program was first getting started. Nevertheless its a tried and tested formula and something that’s always had its fair share of fans in the industry. There’s only two plans to choose from so it’s a pretty simple decision as to which you like best (though you’re free to join both if you want).

The first is called The Silver Plan and it runs for a term of 7 calendar days. You can join it for a minimum deposit of just $5 and in return AdvantagesCapital offer you one single payment on expiry. This will be 121% of your initial investment and counts your principal as part of it, or in other words 100% of your own money and 21% net profit. So if you were to let’s say invest $100 that would mean you should expect to get $121 back at the end. AdvantagesCapital have no ceiling placed on deposits so you’re free to spend however much you like, though obviously you all know your own limits.

AdvantagesCapital‘s other plan is a substantially bigger risk, though if you like what you see but don’t really like a gamble then you could always consider splitting your investment between both plans to give yourself just a little extra protection. Keep in mind however that the minimum cost of signing up for this one is $100. It’s called The Gold Plan and it runs for a term of 15 calendar days. Interest payments are made on expiry so at the end of the term AdvantagesCapital give you one single payout of 150%. That includes your principal obviously leaving you with a 50% net profit for yourself after that. Or to put it another way $100 invested here should get you back $150 upon expiry. Again there’s no upper limit placed on what you can spend but you all know to keep it sensible by now, right?

Payment options for those joining the program include AlertPay, LibertyReserve, and PerfectMoney. You will need to log into your members account area in order to request your payout, however while the admin asks you to allow up to 24 hours for it to be processed my own first payment was completed instantly within a matter of seconds. Just note that this service is not specifically guaranteed by the AdvantagesCapital admin (I’m sure he has good reason to switch it off from time to time such as security, site maintenance, replenishing accounts, et cetera) so do show them a little patience as well.

AdvantagesCapital is hosted on a dedicated server with support and protection from DdoSWiz and is running off a script under license from GoldCoders. Despite what it says on the banner pointing out the security features of AdvantagesCapital on their home page, SSL encryption does not currently appear. Maybe it’s something the admin is planning to add at a later stage, I really don’t know, but what I can tell you is that if and when there’s any updates about the program MNO will be the first place you’ll hear about it. If you have any further questions for the admin then you can reach him by filling in the e-mail ticketing form on the support page.

I don’t really have all that much to say about the texts here because although you can read identically worded HYIPs elsewhere the fact that AdvantagesCapital has been online so long now it’s hard to say who exactly borrows from who. It certainly not something I’m going to waste my time researching anyway because no matter who was the first to use it I’d still tell you the same thing – originality in the HYIP industry is great but isn’t to be overrated either. However regardless of what AdvantagesCapital tell us they are doing, whatever it is they are actually doing they’re doing a damn fine job of it! There’s simply no two ways about it and no way anyone can put a negative spin on this – 15 months making those kind of payouts is an absolutely stunning performance in anyone’s book, and I don’t care that the program was totally below the radar for most of that time because the fact is that they had to be paying somebody for all that time.

But for one reason or another the admin has decided the time is right to step things up a couple of gears, and one thing we can all agree on is that his track record is outstanding. That doesn’t mean that good things don’t come to an end either though so there’s no reason to throw caution to the wind here either. The same rules apply when joining AdvantagesCapital as with any other HYIP, which is basically just to behave sensibly. Don’t spend more than you can afford to lose, don’t look for guarantees, and if you insist on being an industry player try to keep a diverse portfolio.

DAILY NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY

As you might know FirstCoasts is a brand-new program on MNO Exclusive listing which started only a few days ago and the review of which will be done on Sunday. Still I can see there is a lot of interest in the program shown from readers who already took a chance on one of the four investment plans offered by FirstCoasts and maybe even received their first withdrawals to their LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, AlertPay or SolidTrustPay accounts. Plans include – 2.4% for 90 days, 3.2% for 45 days, 5% for 30 days, 120% after 7 days. Please note that the principal is returned on expiry only in the first two plans – but more on that please read the review. In today’s first newsletter the admin expressed hope that his program will be appreciated by investors due to his dedication and hard work in processing payouts on a daily basis. It was actually the first introduction of the program to its first investors and potential clients alike. Please read the full newsletter below:
“Welcome to FirstCoasts Incorporation

Tomorrow you can read the full review of another new program offering extra short-term plans with payouts processed on expiry – GlobalBankInv. Despite of the program’s quite young age of four days online the admin is apparently working hard in order to attract more investors who might be interested in spending their LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney starting from $10 in their – 105%-130% after 1 day, 116%-219% after 3 days, 137%-600% after 7 days, 180%-1075% after 15 days, 270%-2550% after 30 days, 8890% after 60 days. In the latest newsletters the admin informed members of several points including their mail server, gave some recent stats, and the upcoming bi-lingual phone and live support which is going to be available in English and Indonesian. Moreover, the site is going to be translated soon to either Russian, Spanish or Indonesian, but in an unusual move it’s the investors that are being asked to decide which one gets done first by way of a poll. There was some good news reported for the promoters of the program too as starting from now the ref commissions offered by GlobalBankInv have been increased from 1% to 5%. Here’s the latest from GlobalBankInv which is scheduled to be reviewed on MNO soon:
“GlobalBankInv – #1 News

PowerfulStrategy (reviewed here) has added another popular feature and from now on investors can calculate potential earnings using the calculator feature. Well, I don’t think that it’s really that hard to work out how much you will be paid from the four investment plans provided by them – 1.8% for 10 business days, 2% for 25 business days, 2.3% for 60 business days, 2.8% for 120 business days with principal returned on expiry of each plan. Note that PowerfulStrategy has been running successfully and paying on those plans for over four months and all the payouts to AlertPay, SolidTrustPay, LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney are always processed instantly thanks to the original script developed for the program and high security level. I believe that PowerfulStrategy can still grow further and bring profits to investors provided they have the full support. Here is the latest short news posted on the website of PowerfulStrategy today:
“We’ve added a calculator on the web-site of our project. Now you can calculate your profits and see the expiration date of the investment period. Please excuse us for the late update.”

The admin of CosmosInvest issued a second newsletter today announcing his program would be reviewed on MNO next Monday. Today it was announced that CosmosInvest celebrated its first month online. I can see that the project was really monitored by some less popular websites due to which it hasn’t gained much popularity, however, it was first mentioned on popular investment forums only a week ago which I consider as the real starting date for the program. Just lately the admin increased the security of the website and moved it to a dedicated server allowing him to enable instant payouts for all CosmosInvest members using both LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney on two plans – 103%-105% after 1 day and 120%-130% after 5 days. The latest newsletter from CosmosInvest which contains all the latest updates can be read below:
“Newsletter 2: One Month Online And Our Program in MNO
We are glad to inform our valued investors about the followings:
– CosmosInvest is celebrating today the completion of his first successful month online. For most of short term HYIP programs, this is a big achievement, for CosmosInvest, this is just the beginning.

As promised by Paul, the admin of MNO, CosmosInvest will be reviewed by him on Monday; Review will be published on MNO as well as on CosmosInvest. Don’t miss it.
As promised, CosmosInvest will step over all your expectations.
INVEST, RELAX AND ENJOY EARNINGS WITH CosmosInvest.

I’m glad to report that the administration of ViscoCorp refunded fully to the member who submitted a complaint to MNO. For me it’s kinda weird that they agreed to pay the profits from 30-day on expiry plan only via a check which was not the agreement when they accepted the members deposit (the program accepts LibertyReserve and nothing else). I insisted on an explanation but the answer is obvious – ViscoCorp wasn’t able to fulfill its promise and the admin preferred to refund the principal instead of either scamming or just wasting his time arguing. I would still consider such behavior totally unreasonable and would not advise anyone to deposit in any on expiry plans currently offered by ViscoCorp (paying after 10, 30, 90 or 180 days). As far as I know the program still pays perfectly well on 0.8%-1.5% daily forever and 22%-23% daily for 5 days but judging on this incident which clearly signals cashflow issues in ViscoCorp I would not be so sure if the program lasts for more that a couple of weeks from now. I might be wrong but the latest findings don’t inspire confidence one bit. I have moved ViscoCorp (originally reviewed here)back to Paying status since the conflict was resolved but if you have any issues with them please let me know.

Unfortunately, it is confirmed now that FreedomFxStrategy turned into a scam. The program was a total failure and lasted for less than three weeks which is a very poor achievement for such a program offering very low returns. Anyway, we should remember that no new programs, even those that are paying instantly like FreedomFxStrategy did can be considered safe and therefore we should only invest what we can afford to lose.

Many people reading my blog on a regular basis keep asking me why the daily updates were not sent to their email addresses recently. Well, I think I have already answered this question on my blog but I will try to do so again since there were so many requests. Please understand that I personally do not handle the subscribers’ base which is totally automated and depends on Feedburner services which is a subsidiary of Google. Last week there was an error detected in my feed which cannot be fixed for some reason though I tried to do so. To make it short, currently the daily email updates are not possible unless the issue is fixed by Feedburner automatically and in some way I’m not aware of. Please note that if/when this happens the email subscribers will be automatically reactivated again and will get my newsletters on a daily basis once again. For now I can only recommend to those who used to get my emails – don’t be lazy, guys! Visit MNO on a daily basis to hear the latest news and read the reviews of the hottest programs. I think it’s worth the effort!

The popular payment processor SolidTrustPay is launching its campaign of rewarding every new registered customer in their system during the month of October with a free $1 cash bonus. While it might not sound like much I guess it would be the best way to get introduced to that payment processor based in Canada and working successfully online for over five years. For more details about this bonus from SolidTrustPay please read below:
“SolidTrust Pay BONUS BUCK!
STPay is proud to annouce the return of the Bonus Buck!
For the month of October, new members will automatically receive a FREE $1.00 credit to their account! To claim your free money, just visit www.solidtrustpay.com and sign up for an account.
Bonus Buck time is also a great opportunity for existing members to increase their downline, so visit the earn play and win area for more information on our Affiliate Program!
 SolidTrustPay – Your Money, Your Way!”

For the last 24 hours I received payments from the following programs:
FirstCoasts, CosmosInvest, SuperHotPay, IMakeMoneyNow, BetForInvest, BrandDaily, ReProFinance, UnitrustDirect, RichesBank, LargeProfit, OnlineInvestmentBank, BIA, HitNRunMasters, AdvantagesCapital, AuruMoney, GeniusIncome, HyperCompound, FelminaAlliance, EsplinoGroup, GlobalBankInv, iForexGain, BruyetteInvestment, KistFunds, PowerfulStrategy, WinnerEarn, ViscoCorp, SafeDepositary, BrantonsGroup, EurexTrade, TopsFund, OneInv, After60Days, BaseBucks, PokerProfits, MirexGroup, RoliteIncome, NeoProgress, RegularBee and SapaInv (the first payment received).

As you can one of the newly added programs to MNO is called SapaInv. This program was launched only yesterday and it’s based on a unique script used only by a few programs before providing instant (actually within 5 minutes of request) payouts to LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney. SapaInv has three plans to choose from and all of them pay on expiry of your deposit which can start with as low as $10 – 103%-104% after 1 day, 120%-125% after 5 days and 180%-196% after 16 days. SapaInv is hosted on a dedicated and DDoS protected Staminus server and provides instant payouts, as I mentioned already. More about the program will be discussed in my review next week, so stay tuned for that, folks!

The second program that was added to Premium list on MNO today also launched yesterday. It’s called SoaretInvestment and unlike the previous program accepts all the popular payment processors including LibertyReserve PerfectMoney, AlertPay and SolidTrustPay. The minimum to invest in SoaretInvestment is quite high at $50, so I don’t think the program will become extremely popular too quickly. SoaretInvestment offers just one plan paying 5% daily on every calendar day with no expiry date, i.e. forever. “Forever” doesn’t mean that you can’t request your principal back as that can be done after 15 weeks as specified in their introduction:
“As a registered company in the United Kingdom SoaretInvestment is pleased to announce its Official Launch, we welcome investors of all kind and we hope you get the service you so need.
SoaretInvestment offers an unlimited 5% Profit Daily after each investment you make, also we return all of your initial deposit after a lock in period of 15 Weeks.”
The program is running off a licensed GoldCoders script, is hosted on a dedicated server by Koddos and properly SSL-secured. I would not rely on the loud ads about their registration in the UK though as it can be bought for a few pounds and can be totally anonymous. More on SoaretInvestment read in my detailed review which is scheduled to be published next week.

That’s all I have to report tonight, guys. See you tomorrow with the review of GlobalBankInv and latest news from the HYIP industry. As usual, I will be glad to hear your questions and concerns, so please click here to contact me if you like. Have a good weekend ahead and till tomorrow!
