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

Hi everyone! Any sports fans reading today will no doubt be aware that one of the biggest front page news stories in the UK this week, and I guess back page stories across most of the rest of Europe, was the unlikely capture by Leicester City football club of the English premier league. What in global terms is deemed a “small club” (if small is what you want to call a 32,000 capacity stadium!) they seem to have become everyone else’s second favorite team almost overnight. Good luck to them of course, just like most other people I also love a story about the underdog beating the billionaire oligarch playthings that the usual winners have now become with boring predictability.

Just in case you are wondering what that has to do with the HYIP industry and today’s update, a sideline from that story is the absolute fortunes a small group of loyal fans made by making minimal bets on their team winning the league. Promoted to the premiership in 2014, barely avoiding relegation in 2015, if you made a bet on them winning the league for 2016 the bookmakers were giving odds of 5,000-to-one. Some interesting stories are coming out now about some regular working folks, factory workers, shop counter assistants and the like, who out of some sense of tradition like to put a $10 or $20 bet on their team every year. Expecting nothing out of it of course, the just do it anyway. Some of these guys are now collecting checks worth two or three years salary for them which must be an awesome feeling in such austere times. Anyway, it’s just something that brought a smile to my own face when considering TopScore, a new HYIP from the MNO monitor that I want to talk about today which claims to be involved with sports betting. TopScore is a medium term program that launched less than a week ago meaning it’s still very much in the early stages and has yet to put anyone in profit. So let’s take a closer look and see if you might like it enough to consider joining.

What you have in TopScore is a series of plans, varying in lengths from shorter to more medium term for investments. The plans don’t “overlap” as regards the amounts of money you are allowed to invest, meaning that shorter term plans are only open to smaller deposits while longer term options require something more substantial. But don’t worry if that’s not clear, I’ll explain each of them as we go.

So to begin with then and in keeping with the sporting theme of the program, TopScore‘s first option is called The Soccer Plan. This will be the easiest most basic choice for most of you, being as it is the most affordable. TopScore have a minimum requirement of $10 to join, and will allow anything up to a $299 maximum in one single deposit. The plan runs for a term of 12 calendar days, during which investors are offered a daily interest payment of 2%. By expiry that will add up to 24% in total, clearly not enough by itself to put you anywhere even close to a profit. That comes when the TopScore admin returns your principal on expiry as promised in the terms and conditions leaving you with 124% back on your initial investment.

To put that into more practical monetary terms then and see how a typical investment might work out for you, let’s say you make a deposit of $100. In return for this TopScore should pay you back at a rate of $2 per day for the following twelve days, leaving you with $24 in total. This then becomes your net profit once the TopScore admin adds your original hundred on top of that.

Pretty simple, right? Well, to tell you the truth there’s actually a bit more to the plan than meets the eye. You see you are allowed two active “slots” in each of the TopScore investment plans at any one time. So whereas you could spend anything up to $299 in this first plan today, you could also come back and spend another $299 in the same plan tomorrow (or anytime while your first slot is still active). Now, I’m not going to complicate things for you unnecessarily by repeating this about the slots over and over again for each plan. I’m going to describe them assuming you are all just making the one single investment, but just keep it at the back of your mind that TopScore do allow a second deposit in each plan if you want. These are of course treated entirely separately and are independent of each other.

So, for the bigger spending players looking at a $300 entry level investment TopScore‘s second option id The Baseball Plan. This time the term runs for 18 calendar days and the rate of interest on offer is 2.5% per day. A quick calculation there says that TopScore should therefore return a total of 45% in interest payments which then becomes your net profit on return of your principal. TopScore‘s upper limit for a single deposit in this plan is capped at a $999 maximum.

Starting then with a minimum spend of $1,000, The Basketball Plan is TopScore‘s third investment option. Members here are committing their money to a term lasting for 24 calendar days, with the potential reward for doing so a daily interest payment of 3%. By the term’s completion payments should come to 72% in total, which then becomes net profit once the TopScore admin returns your principal. The biggest amount of money allowed for a single deposit in this plan is capped at a maximum limit of $2,999.

From this point on I suppose we are really moving into the territory of the more hardcore risk takers out there, with TopScore‘s minimum deposit for plan number four set at $3,000. It’s called The Football Plan and it runs for a term lasting 30 calendar days. Members here are offered a daily payment of 3.5% interest on their investments, adding up to a grand total of 105% by the final day. That’s a little bit better than double your money, and that’s what your net profit is once TopScore return your initial principal on top of that. Just for your information, the maximum spend for this plan is capped at $9,999.

With a $10,000 minimum spend, I doubt TopScore‘s Horse Racing Plan will see a lot of takers. Small wonder they call it “the sport of kings”! But if that includes you then this is what you’re getting – a daily interest rate of 4% lasting for a term of 36 calendar days. That adds up to 144% in interest payments by the final day, which then becomes net profit on return of your principal. Just for the record TopScore‘s upper investment limit for this plan is capped at a $29,999 maximum per active deposit.

If any of those plans catch your eye and there’s something in there you’d like to try your luck with then the next topic for discussion is what are your payment options. Personally I think this is one area where the TopScore admin could really have done better (who knows, there’s still time to make improvements). For the moment the only payment methods on board are all anonymous processors without much transparency. Namely these consist of PerfectMoney, Payeer, and AdvCash for the more traditional payment handlers, and BitCoin for those favoring a more modern digital e-currency. Don’t get me wrong here, there’s nothing I can fault any of those individual providers for in terms of the services they offer, and if that’s what you prefer anyway then fine. The TopScore admin goes some way towards compensating for the lack of verifiable choices by including instant payouts as encouragement. You simply need to log into your TopScore members account area as usual, submit your payment request for whatever you are owed, and the money should be with you in under a minute.

The TopScore website improves somewhat when we start looking into the more technical side of things such as design and security. An uncluttered and spartan layout helps to keep things uncomplicated and lets you know exactly what TopScore is all about. This is helped along by the website being run off a script under license from GoldCoders which I’m sure a lot of you may have recognized anyway. It has all the usual trademark user friendly features and easy to navigate interface. For an added layer of security the TopScore website has a superior Green Bar extended validation SSL certificate from GeoTrust for safer browsing and more secure financial transactions. An equally reliable service has been hired as a hosting provider, with the always dependable DDoSGuard keeping the TopScore website on a dedicated server with their tech support and protection from malicious attacks. That will give investors a bit more peace of mind, not so much for the safety of their deposits of course but the fact that downtime, in the unlikely event that it ever happens, will be negligible.

For any further questions you feel may not have been addressed here or any account related issues for the TopScore admin to deal with for you there are a couple of ways you can get in touch. You can start by filling in your details on the online customer support form and submitting it via the contacts page. Alternatively you can just write directly to the admin using the e-mail address listed, I’m sure either method will see your message drop into the same inbox anyway. For fans of social media networks you might be pleased to see you may also connect with TopScore using either Facebook or Twitter where the admin has active profiles, or by joining their Facebook group. You might also notice a postal address in the UK where TopScore say they are registered. This isn’t a difficult or expensive thing to do, but I suggest you ignore the address as generally these are just serviced workspaces that come as part of the registration package and not where you can find anyone involved with running TopScore physically located.

As I mentioned already the alleged business activities supporting such huge returns to investors is sports arbitrage betting. I’ve heard of this before, but quite frankly it’s never been something I’ve heard of making quite so high returns. Anyway, given that there’s no guarantees that it ever even has to be profitable let alone that it’s even being done at all, you’d be best advised to ignore it and treat TopScore as you would any other online HYIP. Unfortunately the 5,000-to-one shot that was Leicester City winning the English premier league is more once-in-a-lifetime than regular opportunity. Yes, there’s definitely a lot of gambling involved, it’s just that 100% of it is being done by investors whether they know it or not. Remember in this business the higher the return on offer the higher the risk you are taking, so always set yourself a sensible spending limit you can easily afford to lose and recoup from other sources if things don’t work out for you here. And if you do decide to join TopScore, then try to keep them as a smaller part of a wider more diverse portfolio.

DAILY NEWS FROM THE HYIP INDUSTRY

ANGOLADIAMOND – MOVED TO PROBLEM DUE TO SELECTIVE PAYOUTS, DO NOT INVEST!

It looks like AngolaDiamond which was an extremely popular investment choice among readers over the last few days is paying selectively now (to STP and Payza mainly). Therefore I moved it to Problem status on my monitor as of today following multiple confirmed complaints of overdue withdrawals and the admin’s failure to address it. I believe AngolaDiamond that launched in the wake of such industry giants as Capital7 and RixosFinance closing down saw investors’ desire to re-coup their losses result in way too much money during the first days online. It then became impossible to pay current members due to program overheating so early. To give you an example, just yesterday someone invested over $15,000 into AngolaDiamond, and there were other significantly high deposits made as well. Well, some withdrawals might still be really fast if using SolidTrustPay and Payza – funds the admin cannot move so easily. As for anyone who invested via any anonymous payment system the game seems to have been over by last night when pending withdrawals kept piling up. It was clear by today AngolaDiamond was paying selectively when the 24-hour timeframe passed with no action by the admin to rectify the situation and pay the pendings. Although AngolaDiamond was a huge disappointment for everyone (myself included), we simply cannot predict these things. It’s bad that the admin couldn’t fulfil the massive potential AngolaDiamond undoubtedly had, but that’s just the way of the world sometimes. The domino effect of the recent closures are still being felt, so it’s a tricky time for all of us in the industry. Please note that if you joined via SolidTrustPay or Payza you might still be paid until the admin’s accounts are depleted. However, don’t go thinking the program might still be OK to invest in or that MNO Problem status is wrong. That’s why I always advise everyone to use SolidTrustPay and Payza when dealing with such high risk programs (you can read more on this here if you’re interested).

BTCHOURLY – WEIRD DEPOSIT BONUS ANNOUNCED FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS

Things are also looking quite risky at BTCHourly now as well. A weird 10% to 50% bonus announced today will be active over the next two weeks only. If you invest more than 1BTC in the program (which is about $450 at current exchange rates) you will get this bonus for sure. The question is though whether you will still get into the profit zone after that – something I highly doubt, guys. It can be just something an admin can do to attract more attention to a declining program, but at the same time can also be a trap for those unfamiliar with how the HYIP industry really works. I believe that MNO readers are smart enough to draw their own conclusions from this strange promotional bonus in the following email today:

“BTCHourly – Deposit bonus promotion
Hello All Member,
Deposit bonus promotion:
Start from May 5th, 2015 until May 19th, 2015. If you deposit more than 1 BTC will be get deposit bonus. deposit bonus details:
1. 1 BTC – 5 BTC = 10% deposit bonus
2. 5.1 BTC – 10 BTC = 25% deposit Bonus
3. 10.1 BTC – 5000 BTC = 50% deposit bonus
Deposit now here: BTCHourly
Best regards. Buken Dosi
Admin. BTCHourly”.

Of course, if the trick works then BTCHourly might further finance payments to investors in the only viable 0.2% to 0.75% hourly paying plan. Believe me, that is the only way you might get any profit from this one. All the other promotional investment plans (some of which I described in the detailed review of BTCHourly published here) should be ignored and firmly dismissed for your own good. Just a small note at the end – all the hourly payouts on the BTCHourly‘s main plans are still crediting fine and paid instantly to members’ PerfectMoney, Payeer, and BitCoin accounts, so there is no reason to worry. The main question on everyone’s lips now is for how much longer.

COPPERTRADEPRO – TOTALLY NEW SET OF PLANS REPLACES OLD ONES

Quite a sea change was seen today in the investment plans of CopperTradePro (reviewed here) as well. The new shorter-term plans offering 3% to 3.6% for 65 business days has replaced the old offer of 2.4% to 3.2% for the longer term of 100 business days. This applies to both new and old deposits in members’ accounts, thus making it a bit unfair to those with existing deposits who joined under different terms, as the overall earnings will certainly decrease for them. It appears though that CopperTradePro had to enforce some drastic measures to make the program more competitive. Certainly, any admin would not change investment plans without need, and the adage “don’t fix it if ain’t broken” comes to mind. But at the same time, if something has to be done to keep the payments (any payments!) continuing then the admin had no choice. Surely that’s what a good HYIP admin does for the sake of his members. The question remains though whether it works and how people react to arbitrary changes. In any case, I wish everyone the best of luck with their investments. Just one other quick point – everyone is still getting paid like clockwork by CopperTradePro to their SolidTrustPay, Payza, PerfectMoney, Payeer, BitCoin, NixMoney, and AdvCash and with members support there is nothing that can stop CopperTradePro surviving if not flouishing. See the newsletter below:

BETSTAR – ONE MONTH ONLINE IMPROVEMENTS AND MNO REVIEW SHARED

Perhaps the only positive news for today is from BetStar, marking its first month online and the improvements reported in today’s email from the admin. And what a month it was! Today BetStar has managed to complete the very first long investment cycle on which it has paid some lucky investors from 50% to 140% net profit on deposits in the 5%-8% for 30 calendar days plan. As BetStar came to be listed on MNO only ten days ago, there are others who joined the shorter 115% after 7 calendar days plan and were also successfully rewarded. The significant improvements that were made over the last few weeks was the subject of the earlier newsletter where the admin also presented the “excellent” review of BetStar on MNO (click here to read it) and shared some novelties like the Bet History tab where you can find some info on the program’s alleged betting activities as well as watch a promotional video that will explain how to make money with BetStar. You can use PerfectMoney, Payeer, BitCoin, or AdvCash and start with just a $10 minimum. The admin claims that some interviews will be coming soon too, and praised the successful start of the BetStar‘s first month with many more to come:

“BetStar Newsletter #2 – 1 Month Online!
Dear investors and members of BetStar,
Today it has been exactly one month since we have started BetStar, and what an amazing month it has been!
We have several great new updates we would like to share with you in this newsletter:
– As many of you already know, our homepage now has a video presentation explaining our program, with a German language version coming soon!
– We have added a new section to our website: “Bet History”, which will display some of our recent betting history and will be updated periodically.
– An excellent review has been written about our program on Money News Online which you can read here:
http://money-news-online.com/blog/2016/04/25/25042016-betstar-review-daily-news-hyip-industry/
We have successfully completed the launch phase of our program and are now moving on to our next priorities which are continued growth and sustainability.
In the coming weeks we are planning to do interviews as well as adding new features and updates. This is only the start of our program and we are looking forward our continued success and future plans!
Thank you, BetStar, Ltd.”

GET PAID REPORT FOR 04/05/2016

Here is the list of the programs from my monitor that paid me for the last 24 hours:
From MNO Sticky list: –
From MNO Premium list: Romball, ForexKing, ArdexFunds, BandeiraCorp, BetStar, BTCHourly, ModernBitcyLimited.
From MNO Standard list: CopperTradePro, BTCino, TopScore.
From MNO Basic list: GloboxTrade.

That’s all for today, guys. Sorry to say that it is mostly negative. Two more programs were moved to Waiting status on the MNO monitor pending further review – PayGet and CCCWealth. In PayGet some are reporting issues with automated payouts, which will hopefully be resolved soon as Live Support promises. For CCCWealth the explanation is much simpler – the site is simply not accessible at the time of writing, but I wouldn’t jump to any conclusions as payments were processed instantly up until the very moment the site went down and there was just no reasons to close it like this. So with CCCWealth I suspect a hosting issue that might be fixed soon, and for PayGet a technical issue with no relation to actual financial troubles. At the same time just be aware of what’s going on. Everything will be clear by tomorrow anyway, and I will certainly update you all on this on my blog in due course.

I’ll be back with a look at ModernBitcyLimited tomorrow, plus any other important news stories from the programs listed on my monitor. In any case, you can be sure MNO only lists the highest-budget programs. Proof of that is seen from another new program, still not yet launched, but purchased Premium Listing and the most expensive 160×600 tower banner on my blog for three months in advance. If all goes well it might be ready to go within the next couple of days, so keep an eye on MNO for more info. Thanks for reading and please keep voting on the very relevant MNO TalkBack poll, as the final results are coming pretty soon too!
