19/01/2012. LucidNature Review and Daily News from the Industry

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

Hi everyone! Well it’s the final day of my winter vacation which I must say I really enjoyed here in Croatia. Sorry to sound like a rep from their tourist board or whatever but it was a real discovery for me – friendly people, great food, well preserved and restored historical old cities, stunning scenery, and some wonderful little islands dotted up and down the coast that if you’re into trekking and the more active outdoor pursuits like I am you could spend months exploring. The only complaint I guess is that I have to leave. But anyway, at least for the next couple of hours I can take advantage of the boredom of airports and catch up with the days main news stories. There isn’t a great deal going on around the industry so far today, though I do have two new programs I want to tell you about. One I’ll introduce to you at the end of today’s update, the other is one added to my monitoring page already a couple of days back called LucidNature.

Some of you may know the name already as it’s not quite a brand new program as such. LucidNature is a medium term HYIP that launched a couple of weeks back. So not new but also not old enough to have completed it’s first investment cycle either. That should happen quite soon now, hopefully putting the earliest members there in profit. LucidNature basically offer just the one single plan, though that in turn is broken down into five sub-sections based on how much you’re prepared to spend. They all share the same modus operandi insofar as they all run for 25 business days (five weeks), make daily interest payments between Monday and Friday, and return your principal on expiry.

Starting with the most affordable option, you can join LucidNature‘s first plan for a minimum deposit of $10. It’s called The Seedling Plan (they’ve all got sort of a “green” theme to them) and for anything up to a maximum spend of $1000 LucidNature are offering a daily interest rebate of 1.5% per business day for the 25 business duration. Payments will accumulate to a total of 37.5% which can be considered your final net profit once the admin returns your principal.

I guess that’s where most of you looking to join LucidNature at all will be depositing, though as with all online HYIPs if there’s someone out there looking to spend more money then you’ll find an admin to, shall we say, “help” you with that. LucidNature are no exception with their Growth Plan, an option open to investors prepared to spend between $1,001 and $2,000. For 25 business days you are paid a rate of 1.75% interest per day. At the end of the term that will amount to 43.75% in total which you can count as profit once LucidNature return your principal.

More serious investors can have a look at The Transition Plan. You’ll need a minimum of $2,000 to deposit, with LucidNature accepting a maximum of $4,000 for this one. Over the course of 25 business days they pay you 2% interest on your deposit per day, so that’s a straight forward 50% net profit for yourself once LucidNature return your principal.

For a minimum deposit of $4,001 investors can join The Bloom Plan. You earn 2.25% interest per day for 25 business days, and LucidNature should then return your principal. All going according to plan that would leave you with a net profit of 56.25% on your investment. Maximum spend is capped at $6,000.

And finally The Ripen Plan is available for anyone prepared to spend $6,001 or more with no upper limit. The interest rate being offered for the 25 business day term duration this time is 2.5% daily with principal returned on expiry. After the LucidNature admin actually returns the principal then the net profit for you should add up to 62.5%.

Payment options are reasonably good for this program. The payment processors accepted by the program is LibertyReserve, AlertPay and SolidTrustPay which is a very good variety of payment options for an average investor. LucidNature make manual payouts to their members so you’re going to have to log into your account area and request them. Once you’ve done so the admin requires up to a maximum of 48 hours to process the payment. Generally speaking it’s a bit faster than that, but that’s what he asks for. Do keep in mind also that LucidNature only work from Monday to Friday so be prepared to wait if trying to make a withdrawal at the weekend.

The LucidNature website has quite an eye catching design with a bio-organic theme in which they claim to be investing members money. The script they’re running off is a secured Gotenks script, the site is properly SSL encrypted, and is hosted on a dedicated Staminus server. So everything looks up to a high standard on that end. Contact with the admin should you have any further questions or account related issues can be reached by filling in your details on the e-mail ticketing form on the support page and submitting it. LucidNature are also among the ever increasing number of HYIPs to start using Facebook and Twitter to further enhance communications. I prefer it when these things are done directly with the members myself but even so, these can be especially handy tools in the event of any technical problems with the LucidNature website itself.

Apart from being an eye catching website in terms of design as I already said, LucidNature is also quite original in terms of content. And honestly, who wants to read reams of copy/pasted nonsense about ForEx trading for the millionth time anyway? That’s not to say I’m any less skeptical about this HYIP as any other, I do at least appreciate the originality and the effort put in to making it that way. And although the program has only just been added to MNO (so I really can’t say for a fact) it looks like the admin might have done an OK job in getting the program to this stage. The thing is that the program started in December, not traditionally a good time for new shorter term HYIPs, but still managed to catch the attention of a lot of investors which is no mean feat at this time of year. I can only comment on this in a bit more depth once he starts returning the members principals but so far so good anyway. That being said you all know by now the high risk nature of the industry and the complete lack of guarantees, so at all times only spend modest amounts of money that it wouldn’t hurt you too badly if you lost, and of course LucidNature would be better as a smaller part of a wider more diverse portfolio.

DAILY NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY

FXMOGULS – ANOTHER NEWSLETTER ISSUED

The admin of FXMoguls Jason (interviewed here) has issued another newsletter today with a lot of information on the program. Most of it though was already mentioned in earlier updates, such as the increased $1 minimum to invest due to the recent AlertPay addition, the Maxivote feature that allows members to vote on many different monitoring sites with one click, a testimonial contest that is running on the program’s threads on MMG, TG and DTM forums and up to 11% deposit bonus still available on investments from $50 and up. The new items in today’s newsletter from FXMoguls include the reaching the 1,000 membership mark and the earlier introduction of SolidTrustPay as a payment processor, joining AlertPay, LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney. I remind you that FXMoguls has been online for 43 days now paying on a 2.4%-3.7% for 150 business days plan with principal returned on expiry. I have already reviewed the program which you can read here for further information on that. I myself am glad that FXMoguls are developing nicely and wish them and their investors a lot of success. Here is the full newsletter:
“FXMoguls Newsletter for 01-19-2012
Dear members,
Allow me to start by welcoming all new members to FXMoguls LTD. Over the last week we have seen an extreme surge in membership. We always assumed that this would happen at some point and are overjoyed that the community is embracing us like they are. The staff at FXMoguls LTD. has thoroughly enjoyed getting to know our members and helping you with any support issues that you may run into.
We are now very close to the 1000 member mark. This is a great achievement for us in only 45 days online. In addition, almost 70% of members are fully upgraded which makes it even more impressive.
I would like to take this time to remind all members who are invested with Alertpay that their minimum withdrawal amount is $1. While Liberty Reserve and Perfect Money allow withdrawals as low as one cent Alertpay does not. Because of this many members’ withdrawals had to be returned to their account. This is Alertpay’s policy and of course we have no choice but to abide by it. We have also added this information to our FAQ section to make sure that everyone is aware of this rule.
It appears that the addition of Maxivote to our site has been thus far a great success for us. The staff really appreciates all members who take the time to vote for us on the various monitors. We also enjoy reading your comments as it helps us to improve upon the services that we offer. So please keep the votes and comments coming.
We have also taken notice of the members who have taken the time to leave testimonials on Money Maker Group, Talk Gold and Dream Team Money. We know that many members prefer to remain anonymous in their dealings with us and that is perfectly fine. But I would like to remind all members that the testimonials contest is still on going and we will pick our first 3 winners on Monday of this coming week.
Here are the qualifying threads for you to participate in:

http://www.talkgold.com/forum/showthread.php?t=345622
http://www.dreamteammoney.com/index.php?showtopic=138700
If you have been following our trading reports in your members’ area you will see that our EA continues to be very profitable. We have a lot of forward as well as backtest data to prove the efficiency of what we have created and we are very certain that its profitability will continue as long as the markets are there for us.
We are at this moment researching the possibility of adding Solid Trust Pay to the list of accepted payment processors. This was also another request from members. Our primary concern right now is the security of their API system. As soon as we have completed our research I’ll announce what we have decided in regards to adding STP.
Finally I would like to remind members that our deposit bonuses are still available as well. We give members up to an 11% bonus on their deposit added right into your principal amount. This will increase your daily earnings and catapult you into profit at a much faster rate. More information on our bonus program can be found by visiting – https://www.fxmoguls.com/bonus.php
To members old and new we wish to again thank you for your continued support of FXMoguls. Should you need us for any reason, please send us a contact request and we will be sure to answer you promptly and efficiently.
Sincerely, FXMoguls LTD Staff”.

WORLDWIDECAPITAL – ADVANCED COMPOUNDING OPTION AVAILABLE

While you might know that I personally am not a fan of compounding in HYIPs as usually when you let your money sit tight in your account and earning only virtual profits till your expiry date you expose yourselves to a higher degree of risk than if you just withdrew daily. Of course when compounding your profits you will potentially see much better results in the end provided that the program is still there to pay you. But if you fail it means you will not get even a small percentage of your original deposit back while when not using compounding you might even have been in a small profit. That is why it’s extremely important to realize the whole concept of compounding and the risks that go with it before trying it. I’m aware that HYIP investing is mostly a gamble for many people out there though, so there will always be some of you who might get over-confident in one particular program and use the compounding option in order to get a potentially much higher return while at the same time using the principle “all or nothing”. I can’t deny that sometimes such a strategy may prove fruitful, as long as you realize the possible consequences for your decision.

So as you might imagine HYIP admins usually try to encourage their investors in any possible way to use compounding. In many cases, compounding is set to 100% by default and the investors should be extremely careful when depositing, because in some cases the compounding rate cannot be changed later. Sometimes though the admins are trying to offer a bigger daily rate for the investments which are set on 100% compounding. In many cases it’s justified as the investors willing to throw money into a 100% compounding option in most cases realize perfectly well the possible risks involved and are right to demand some kind of reward for their “trust”.

Such an option of so-called advanced compounding now been made available to the members of WorldwideCapital. When opting for it an investor has the chance to get a daily rate which is higher by 0.5% to the original rate offered by regular compounding or just deposits without using it at all. So if you set your deposit to advanced compounding option in WorldwideCapital you can possibly earn 2%-2.8% for 150 business days (fixed rate depending on the deposited amount) instead of the regular 1.5%-2.3% for 150 business days. Your principal is going to get returned after 150 business days only, so if you get enticed by these higher rates please keep in mind that you won’t see your money back for about seven months. To take advantage on this offer please check the 100% advanced compounding option when depositing in WorldwideCapital which accepts LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney starting from $10. For more information on the program please check out my detailed review of WorldwideCapital posted over three months ago (click here to read it). Here’s the short update on the newly added advance compounding option:
“Advanced Compounding option
We are happy to present you Advanced Compounding option. You can earn additional 0.5% daily with any investment plan from now. So the profit with Advanced Compounding enabled is 2% for Start plan, 2.5% for Advanced plan and 2.8% for Professional plan. Earn more profit with us!”

LUXORALLIANCE – MARKETING STRATEGIES AND REPRESENTATIVES TOPICS DISCUSSED

The second weekly newsletter from LuxorAlliance (reviewed here) that has been featured on MNO for over two weeks already paying to its investors on several investment plans via LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney – 1.8% for 15 days, 2% for 30 days, 2.4% for 45 days, 2.8% for 60 days has been sent. As you can guess the original principal is returned on expiry, and so the first members of LuxorAlliance which launched just before the New Year holidays should have their original deposits back by now and well in profit. So now the second stage of the promotion of LuxorAlliance has begun, and as the admin mentioned in his newsletter this strategy will be more aggressive, realizing the fact that many other quality programs launched during the last two weeks and that the competition is pretty tough at this point. To stand out from the crowd and get more investors LuxorAlliance will be using more monitors and so more advertising will be involved, along with increased activities on such popular social networking websites as Twitter and Facebook and the hiring of representatives for the program. At the same time the admin of LuxorAlliance is making a massive effort to present his program as a real investment opportunity among the scams hoping somebody might actually buy such stories. I am not one of them though, and readers of MNO should know very well that all these HYIPs are ponzi-games no matter what the admins are going to say to you. LuxorAlliance is only one such HYI program and should be treated as such. I fully appreciate though the ability of the admin to issue long and professionally written newsletters which will attract more potential investors, in my honest opinion. The latest weekly newsletter from LuxorAlliance cover the topics of marketing and promotion along with an explanation on how the money is made for its members. Here is the newsletter in full:
“LA WEEKLY NEWSLETTER #2 [LuxorAlliance Progressive Development]
Hello LA Investors,
We recommend you to read full version of LA Weekly in PDF format: http://luxoralliance.com/laweekly_issue_2.pdf
First of all we would like to apologize for the delay of our Newsletter. This week went by so fast that we barely found time to collect all information for this newsletter. Hope you enjoyed your week. Here is an overview of our last week and our plans for the future.
With the publication of 2nd LA Weekly, we, the team at LuxorAlliance would firstly like to grab the opportunity to thank our respected investors, forum supporters, and monitors for showing their confidence in our company, and giving us a fair chance to prove our potential. The dynamic growth we have been experiencing here, would not have been possible without you all. So once again, thanks a bunch! Now as we entered into the third business week of our project, the company’s management decided not only to answer some new queries through this publication, but also to share some of our future plans, and current ongoings. We hope you will be participating actively in our discussions by giving feedback on our plans, and sharing your innovative ideas. Trust us, this is the best and proven way to form a strong company, with healthy business relationship.
So to begin with let’s discuss our future plans, our ideas and our investors concerns. Even though we have posted on our main page what type of investments we involved in and how we meet our revenue. We still receive a lot of questions of this character and decided to write about it in this issue. As you all know LuxorAlliance is online registered name of “Luxor Trade LLP” which is responsible for managing our investors capital. It has it’s own staff which is concentrated on turnover of investment. They’re hiring specialists who are searching for clients offline in places such as Casinos and Broker’s agencies. Those clients are usually gamblers who are willing to give their property as a collateral to Luxor Trade LLP for a loan.
These loans are short-term and they have a very high percentage. If a client doesn’t pay a loan back, Luxor Trade LLP become the owner of the property and makes much more substantial profit. In such way we can provide profit for our investors as well as our company. The second topic we would like to discuss with you all is regarding LA’s Marketing Strategies. In spite of receiving such an overwhelming response with our current ways to promote LA, recently our representatives encountered some of our fellow “friends”, being not satisfied with the way we are working. Now if for some personal, evil reason they are dissatisfied with our working, then unfortunately we won’t be able to help them. However as mentioned above, our company is already receiving a good number of clients with our current promotional methods, plus we do maintain our own backup funds; but this does not mean that on the name of “Promotion” we are going to waste the hard earned money of our clients. Our experience speaks for us. We have been maintaining our offline client base since years, and it has shown us that dedication and right money management is a virtue.
Now before continuing any further, as we have already touched on the LA’s Promotion topic, we would like to put some light on the recent occurrences that took place in this section:
1 – Some efficient monitoring services were registered to monitor our activities. Please do visit the link ‘LA Everywhere’ and support our project by posting votes and comments, each time you get paid or rewarded.
2 – A detailed review of our company was published on the well known HYIP source, HYIPNews. We are thankful to Martin for taking the time to analyze our project and present it before his readers. We recommend you to read this review.
3 – As for the statistics of our social networking accounts, LuxorAlliance has already got more than 1,900 happy likes on Facebook, and more than 200 Twitter followers. Why to be left behind?! Join us now! Our Facebook page address is (Link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Luxor-Alliance/288212934563193 and our Twitter address is (Link:http://twitter.com/LuxorAlliance
Next thread we want to talk about is LA tickets. You have huge opportunity to become our representatives in your location.
Advantages of being LA representative:
You’ll be receiving 10$ a week. You’ll have fixed referral commission of 5%. You’ll obtain corporate e-mail from LuxorAlliance (***@luxoralliance.com). And of course, status of being part of our team and ability to contact to CEO of Luxor Alliance.

On behalf of the whole management team, I thank them for their dedication to our company. Looking back on our progress this past 3 weeks, we have total confidence that we can continue to achieve all that we have set out to do in 2011 and beyond.
Regards, LuxorAlliance Team”.

INTRODUCTION OF BENSONUNION

As I mentioned at the top of the page, a new program has been added to Premium listing on MNO today which I truly believe can become an industry leader very soon. It’s called BensonGroup which just officially launched yesterday and which a small announcement was made on their site:
“BensonUnion grand opening
BensonUnion market campaign has been started. Our team will keep improving the service day by day.”

To tell you the truth, BensonUnion looks the furthest thing possible from some cheap scam. I haven’t seen such a high quality and professionally made website for quite a while. Judge for yourself – the website is translated into 10 languages, has an impeccable business video presentation and video business tutorials, pretty curious info on ForEx investing, a global partnership program that has just launched, its own Facebook and Twitter accounts and also being run off a totally unique script which surely cost them a lot. According to the admin the site is hosted on a dedicated server based in the Netherlands and they also bought Dragonara DDoS protection which they will use in case the need arises. Looking at their video and PDF presentation I was stunned at how similar it is BensonUnion to an original bank or a genuine investment website as they claim to be. Still, looking at all this beauty we shouldn’t forget that the program is still an online HYIP so be sensible when spending. Considering all this time and money spent for creating such a high quality website I really doubt that BensonUnion won’t for at least several months and bring profits to its first investors.

The full review of the program will be posted on MNO tomorrow. Right now I would just like to tell you about the investment plans in a nutshell. BensonUnion accepts LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney along with direct Bank wires. The investment can start from a $10 minimum and depending on the amount can bring you interest of 1.2% to 2.45% per business day. The lock-in period of your deposit in BensonGroup is 170 business days after which you will get your principal back. There is a possibility though to get out quicker as you have a get-out-early clause that will release your principal for a 25%. So paradoxically BensonUnion could unintentionally be an equally attractive prospect to shorter-term players. Compounding is available too with 10% step, so you can be very flexible with planning your investment.

GET PAID REPORT FOR 19/01/2012

Here is the list of the programs I was paid by during the last 24 hours:
