03/12/07. I hate spammers, and you?

Well, I just couldn’t be silent anymore. Enough is enough. Who do they think they are? Ok, I can cope with a lot of spam in my mailbox but this guy just overstepped the line of my patience. Somebody with a strange name Ognjen Kapor sent me a message yesterday informing me that ArivaFund is scam:
“I just want to inform you that ArivaFund is SCAM! ArivaFund admin sold me emails of all his investors for 20 dollars! Yes, I know that he is paying currently, but he will stop paying soon and he will run away with your money! I recommend you to stop spending your money into this scam and withdraw as much as possible ASAP!”
My first thought about this man was: ok, there’s another Robin Hood trying to save everybody from evil HYIP owners. Probably he lost much money in such short-term programs (by the way, ArivaFund is still paying). But the truth appeared to be much worse than I initially thought. This Ognjen Kapor is just a sort of sneaky blackmailer and extortionist. His real intention was to extort money from the HYIP owners. How could I know that you may ask? Well, it seems this guy just doesn’t care from whom to extort as even Charles, admin of SurfMargin received such an email last night which he published on MMG forum. Just read this crap:
“Hello admin, First, I must tell you that I know that your program is scam. But, I don’t care as long as you are ready to cooperate with me. Well, this is my offer: I have list of a few thousands fresh emails of HYIP users, which I extracted from different hyips in last few months (profx.biz, binor.ru, hk-fund.com, successfuture.biz, tradeinforex.net, timesprofit, arivafund, etc…) Price: $50 ONLY! You can use this emails to promote your own program. Just imagine how great this offer is and how many investors you can get! You have two options. First option is to decide to cooperate with me and buy email lists from me. Second option, which I don’t like, and I believe you will not like it either: I have emails of about 150 thousands emails of SpamCop members. SpamCop is spam fighting tool. Well, all these people hate spam and they report every spam mail to SpamCop. SpamCop automatically reports every link from spam mail to hosting provider which hosts its site. What it means? Well, if I “promote” (spam) that people with your site address in message body, they will report you, and your hosting provider will receive thousands of spam complaints. They will be forced to shut down your site! I don’t like second option. First is much better for both of us. But if you refuse me offer, I will be forced to move to the second option. So, I hope that you will choose what is better… If you don’t reply within 24 hours, I will understand it as refuse and I will start working on ‘second option’.”
It’s no wonder that this guy sends these emails to such HYIPs as ArivaFund and TimesProfit that will not last long (and we all know it). But to Charles? He’s the most honest and straightforward person I met in this industry so far. This Ognjen must have hit the wrong target and he thought probably that the SurfMargin stats were not true like in ArivaFund and similar programs. But SurfMargin is different and here is Charles’ reply to this scammer:
“I’m sorry to disappoint you but our program is not a scam! Check out the videos in ASA. Have you ever heard of scam companies inviting members to their conference? Have you ever heard of scam companies introducing members to the mature business partners involved in the company? Have you ever heard of an auto-surf that has real offices in LA that members can visit? Don’t waste your time on negative, destructive, parasitic type of things. Become one of the producers in this world and create wealth and prosperity for others and yourself through positive endeavor. That way you’ll be able to sleep much better at night, be able to stand up and look people in the eye with confidence and feel good about yourself! Good luck and best regards, Charles“.

I think such spammers and extortionists should be punished. And I hope they will be eventually. Charles made a perfect statement about being positive and creative. These people like Charles will overcome at the end, and such guys like Ognjen Kapor have no future. That is my strong belief. By the way, today SurfMargin hit 15% maximum again. And despite the high number of scammers that seem to be active around the Christmas season I believe that it’s the right time to join SurfMargin. This program really deserves to be a winner in the coming year.

The same applies to BusinessProfitPro. Though the program only hit 1.3% today it IS worth joining. One of the main reasons: the honesty and constant creativity of the admin and the programmer of the program. They never stop promoting and inventing different incentives for the members. You probably know already that if you become a member of BusinessProfitPro you will have an opportunity to exchange your e-gold to LR for a small fee. (If you’re not a member but still want to exchange please use the form on the sidebar of my blog – this is one of the best instant exchangers). Anyway, here is the last announcement from “exist1”, and I believe this will help with the promotion of the site:
“One of our members suggested via email (which I think is a cool idea) that I place all new sign-ups without any referrers under veteran supportive members. I will be doing this today and tomorrow. Therefore, if you receive a free referral, please do everything in your power to email the person and explain our program and make him/her comfortable. Try to answer their questions if they reply back. Your reward would be the referral commissions you will get when they finally deposit.
Speaking of referral commissions, for one whole week starting this Wednesday (Dec.5-11 server date), we will reward all “first time” deposits with a whopping 12% referral commission and 8% after that! So, for all of you marketers and promoters and members alike, now is your chance to promote the program like crazy and earn the reward you deserve and help out to increase the Daily ROI before Christmas! In fact, here’s another incentive, if the Live ROI boosts to 7.5% within the week, we will have a 10% Christmas day live ROI no matter what our ROI that day!
Now, for all you pessimistic members out there, I hope I’ve proven myself to you already that I am going nowhere. And this program is the real deal!”
I highly recommend joining BusinessProfitPro. And I decided to make BusinessProfitPro my “next pick of the week. I’m sure you will not regret joining BPP.

Obviously TimesProfit turned into a scam today as admin removed all monitoring stats from his site and also turned off instant withdrawals both to e-gold and LR. I was right about the warning sign I noticed before. Of course, 130% after 4 days new plan was just a way to collect more money before disappearing. Though I didn’t manage to make my last withdrawal I’m in a good 160% profit. I hope you don’t invest too much money in such games. I only play with small amounts anyway.

The situation with e-gold is still unclear in Xtreme-Hits so the admin decided to implement LibertyReserve as another payment processor. I welcome such an approach which will help to attract new members and not to scare off the existing ones. Anyway, here is the last update:
“I have created a new egold account #4997268.
I am still trying to retrieve the funds from the other egold account that was blocked. I am waiting for a verification number from egold that they will mail me and I have to send that number back to them in order to get it unblocked. I don’t know how long this process will take since it will be sent by regular mail, but members can now upgrade to this new egold number.
Good news, everyone. Xtreme-Hits is now accepting Liberty Reserve as a payment processor“.

If you are waiting for a payout from AttractiveAds you will not receive it today. Admin Larry just gave an update to members on MMG forum:
“I was about to do payments today, but unfortunately I was having a very slow internet connection here and wasn’t able to load the admin area. Furthermore, I also couldn’t send you an update about this via admin email. It seems there is a connection problem from my side to the server side. Payment will begin as soon as the connection back to normal. It has never been like this before. For members who sent ticket to me, please give me more time to fix your account. Thank you for your understanding“.
I have no worries here as Larry is a great admin and I’m sure he will make payments as soon as he is able to.

Did I mention that I received payments today from FastProfitsCode (instantly) and MInvestment (almost instantly)? Well, no surprises here. Also two payments from BusinessProfitPro were received.

Remember: only play with small amount in the short-term programs like ArivaFund and TimesProfit. They can be extremely risky if you don’t know how to play them wisely. Better stay with the slow but stable performers like BusinessProfitPro especially at this time of the year or it can be extremely dangerous for your money.

If you haven’t noticed yet I have my own monitoring page now. You will find there all the info about my investment portfolio and probably will pick something out for yourself. Happy investments, and see you tomorrow!
