Hi, guys! VolcanoInvest is the newest HYIP on my list and I already received the first payout today. So what is so special about this program that made me join and deposit? First of all let’s take a look at the plans.

Despite the relatively high returns offered of 105% after 1 day, 110% after 2 days and 120% after 3 days you might imagine a lack of stability. But VolcanoInvest is a stable and well thought-out program indeed. Just look at this hit-n-runner protection implemented when no one can deposit more than $1,000 total in all the plans. It’s really great protection against hit-n-runners that will definitely help VolcanoInvest to run for a longer time.

Let’s look at the plans more closely.

1) In Starter plan you can invest from $5 to $50 and your profit will be 105% after 1 day (including your principal).

2) In Standard plan you can deposit from $10 to $100 and your profit will be 110% after 2 days (including your principal).

3) In Investor plan you can deposit from $20 to $200 and your profit will be 120% after 3 days (including your principal).

Here I would like to share some very important points with you.

First, remember that you can run a maximum of 5 deposits in several different plans and your deposits will be treated differently. The most important thing that the amount of your total deposits must not exceed $1,000 at any given time (this is so called “hit-n-runners protection”).

Second, you can deposit via four different processors: LibertyReserve, AlterGold, V-Money and e-gold. But you should remember that all e-gold deposits are handled manually and in order to deposit via e-gold you should leave the memo field empty and report your batch confirmation number on completion of your investment so the admin would be able to add your deposit manually. Deposits via other e-currencies should be credited to your internal account in VolcanoInvest instantly.

Third, be aware that there are no payouts on Sundays so you should plan your investments accordingly. For example, you should better reinvest your profit on Sunday using the automatic reinvestment option in your member’s area than wait till Monday in order for your withdrawal request to be honored by the admin.

Fourth, after your investment expires you will see your balance with principal and profit credited. So you will have three options. You can either withdraw the full amount (principal+profit), or reinvest the full amount, or partially reinvest. The last option is kinda unique and I like it very much. Using this option you can save on payment processor’s fees by withdrawing any amount you like and reinvest the rest just by simply choosing the amount you wish to withdraw and clicking the confirmation button. After that your desired amount will be re-invested and be shown in your account as a separate deposit while the rest will be saved as a withdrawal request to be paid to the e-currency you made the original deposit with. I myself have tested this function and it works perfectly I must say. By the way, I got paid very fast after the request but the admin requires you to give him reasonable time of 12 hours to pay your pendings so don’t be too impatient.

Well, to add to this SSL-encrypted pages for additional security and BlackLotus anti-DDoS protection will surely add to the credibility to VolcanoInvest and make it more secure than other similar short-term HYIPs.

Of course, you should remember that VolcanoInvest is just an HYIP game and don’t deposit the amount you’re not prepared to lose. But what will allow this program to run longer than others and why did I include in to my monitoring list and to the list of Recommended programs? Is it just because of well-thought out plans and good protection?

Well, to tell you the truth it’s mostly about the script. From the first glance the script VolcanoInvest is using seemed familiar to me and I couldn’t help the feeling of deja-vu. After doing a little research I found that there was a similar (if not identical) program that I monitored back in April-May of this year called LRStream which had absolutely the same plans and were based on the same script and used the same BlackLotus protection. I would not be surprised if VolcanoInvest was from the same admin that ran LR Stream and other programs based on X-HYIP script at the beginning of 2008. And if it’s true (I don’t know this for sure) then VolcanoInvest program is destined to be big and last at least 2 weeks and more which will be definitely enough time to make profit from it. Given the fact that VolcanoInvest just launched yesterday and has good protection against hit-n-runners I hope it will last long and we can make a decent profit with it. I’ll try to conduct an interview with the admin of VolcanoInvest very soon and hopefully his answers will shed some light on a few mysterious coincidences surrounding this program. Stay tuned for that, guys!

Other news for today.

MegaLido continues to amaze with it’s impressive growth with membership fast approaching the 6000 mark. And all in a two month period! Isn’t it amazing? So MegaLido remains the autosurf #1 in my rankings and is highly recommended by my blog. If you hesitate over what strategy to use in MegaLido please read my article about it here.
The latest update issued by the admin of MegaLido Michael (read my interview with him here) yesterday concerns his latest plan to launch a new PC game soon, and also will be interesting for you to look into if you want to apply for a job in MegaLido or curious about how the new MegaContest is going:
“To start off, I want to thank everyone who sent their applications for job positions at MegaLido. I was impressed with the number of people who want to work with us and that makes me happy, I will review all the applications soon and let you know about the results.
Also, I want to let everyone know we are preparing a MegaLido PC Game, it’s a 3D game which will be available for you to download soon. I believe this is unique, an autosurf program launching its PC game for the members, I’m sure you will like it.
I received a lot of testimonials from members and I am going to post them at the website today, thanks a lot for the ones who already sent them and for the ones who didn’t, you can send me that whenever you can and I’ll publish it!
As some of you noticed, our website was not accessible through the domain for a few minutes because we were doing some maintenance on the domain records, you got an earlier message from me with a temporary link to the website that is now solved and the domain is working as usual, I appreciate your understanding.
Just to let you know, the Mega Contest 2 is doing very fine, I see some people working hard for prizes and there are still chances for everyone, start promoting and you will be rewarded. Mega Lido’s cash flow has been very good and our investments are returning the best results ever, I can tell you the program is stable and growing a lot, thanks a lot for participating!”

The admin of another autosurf with a very similar concept and plan – 12DailyForever (read my interview with him here) – issued another update today where he encouraged members to vote after they receive their payouts and also announced that a new referral contest with even bigger prizes is starting next week:
“Admin is up again after a long night for the US presidential debate. I welcome all new members to 12DailyForever where you achieve financial freedom with out struggle. My name is Richard Lenor as most of you know and I am willing to give you the best of my server under my control.
There is presently a referral contest going on in 12DailyForever and the winners get cash award for their good work. Let me give you are little secret on getting more referrals under you. Visit one of the sites, buy a banner space or what ever advert you can afford.
Here is your benefit for doing this: firstly, you get 6% from any upgrade your referral makes and again you can also win the referral contest – all depends on the active members that signup under you.
I wish you all a good day and please note, you can talk to your admin directly and instantly on yahoo messenger ID: richardlunor_12dailyforever
Next week, we will be having a big referral contest so please be prepare for next weekend.”

The admin of one of the most popular short-term HYIPs now TradersInvestments Jean (read my interview with him here) also announced some contest in order to attract even more attention to his already successful program that pays 20% for 6 days:
“As I’ve told you in my previous newsletter more advertising and contests will come on the way. I’ve bought some new banners to advertise our program and here is our first contest. It will be a 200$ prize for the best referrer of the month. As the title says, the contest starts right now and will last for a month. The best referrer will get the 200$ right into his LR account. If this has success, more contests will follow. I’m sure that all together will can make this program one of the best on the market. Because without you nothing it’s possible. Thank you very much for this great family that I’ve found here and for all your help.”

Some very important changes occurred in one of the most successful autosurf programs AggeroInvestment. I believe after adding another investment plan of 8.5% daily with payouts after 15 days (and 7% daily after 15 days if you don’t surf) and updating the design the program could become even more popular than it is now. The admin of AggeroInvestment Roger (read my interview with him here) is one of the most innovative and committed persons I’ve ever seen in the autosurf industry and he’s really keeping his program floating high. Here are the important changes that were described in Roger’s last newsletter for members of AggeroInvestment:
“1) We’ve decided to change the rates from 8.0% to ‘8.5% if you surf’ and from 7.5% to ‘7.0% if you do not surf’. The reason for this is to encourage everybody to do their daily surfing. The 0.5% difference before didn’t encourage much, so I’d rather give that extra 0.5% to those who surf. Like I said, this could be temporary. If our funds hold up then we could increase the 8.5% to 9.0% on our second month anniversary.
2) Some new images were designed for our site. I will apply it tomorrow. It will still be the same format except with new images (like the header, banners, and the three boxes in the middle).
3) To encourage more advertising, we will also increase the referral commission of active members from 2% to 3%.
4) I do not ask for you to vote on monitors, but please, at least post your payments on our forum threads. We are paying hundreds, and sometimes thousands, everyday yet I seldom see payment posts. Please help us out on that area.
That’s it! Enjoy your day!”

FxSlaughter is a program that is kind of flying under the radar so far (read my review here). But I believe everything can be changed since the admin introduced a couple of new plans where you will be paid on expiry (in addition to daily and weekly plans). The minimum to invest in these plans has also been reduced and now to invest in FxSlaughter you have to have only $5 on your e-currency account (compared to $25 that you should have had before). So from now on you’ll be able to invest in the following plans:
“FFL 5 Days Plan (earn 8% after 5 days and your principal back)
FFL 10 Days Pan (earn 18% after 10 days and your principal back)
FFL 15 Days Plan (earn 30% after 15 days and your principal back)
FFL 20 Days Plan (earn 45% after 20 days and your principal back)“.
I believe these new plans can help FxSlaughter to become much more popular among online investors than it is now. I just hope it’s not a trick from the admin’s side and everybody will be paid in FxSlaughter on expiry. I will try one of these plans myself and report to you when I’m paid.

Guys, I recently received a very angry email from Susan, the admin of 8DailyForever in which she accused my blog of being hostile towards her site. Well, to tell you the truth I would not have been so “extremely unfair” towards 8DailyForever if it had not had constant problems with their site be it upgrade, hosting, ref commissions or other issues (you name it). In addition, I couldn’t access their site for two weeks except only proxy and they still didn’t help me with this issue (I was finally able to do it only today). Moreover, Susan stated that they had a team of friends running the 8DailyForever site but it appears she is doing it by herself (alone?) because she was away on a family trip and nobody could take care of the site. At least that was the reason she mentioned behind the delayed payouts that are piling up now (I already received a couple of complaints from my readers because of that). But if Susan manages the site alone where are Lisa and Randy (and many other fictional characters) that started 8DailyForever? It seems to me that in reality there’s only one person behind all this so-called “successful” program with more than 3,200 members. So, honestly, why should I recommend 8DailyForever to my readers? I would really like to do it after all the issues are gone but for now it’s not recommended to join 8DailyForever. Honestly! Guys, please report me if you’re paid from 8DailyForever so I could move it again to “Paying” status on my monitoring page.

I’d like to thank one of my readers for the warning he gave out to all who are interested in depositing in FinoFex program (read my review here). If you remember this is the address indicated on FinoFex‘s contact page: “Finofex Corporate Headquarters: Building #1 Manor Lodge, Lodge Hill, Ambergris Caye, Belize“. So we can draw the conclusion that FinoFex must have a real office in Belize. But if you go here you will see the warning notice about FinoFex:
“It is notified for general information that FINOFEX LTD. is not a registered entity in Belize and is not licensed by the International Financial Services Commission or any other competent authority in Belize to provide forex trading or any other international financial services. All persons concerned are asked to take note and exercise extreme caution.”
So as I suspected they had no real office in Belize and that’s why they can be considered only as just another HYIP-game and nothing else. So treat FinoFex only this way! By the way, I received my pending payout from FinoFex today to my AlterGold account and redeposited again in the 10 day plan. That’s why I returned FinoFex to “Paying” status on my monitoring page. Hopefully the program will be able to continue even despite this revelation made on my blog!

By the way, have you noticed that AlterGold‘s SCI interface is working now? So there should not be any more excuses from the admins of not-payments due to AlterGold issues. There still should be some explanation from AlterGold administration as to what the verification link in the member’s area means and when exchanges are allowed again but I know that they are working towards getting back on track. Though it’s seems to be slow but at least they continue doing it. Hopefully, soon we will hear from their administration something positive and can continue to use AlterGold.

Another note about payment processors: I like LibertyReserve, yes, I consider it the best when it comes to the convenience of using, funding and withdrawing funds. But when it comes to new e-currencies that are online only for several months I would definitely distinguish StrictPay payment processor. It won my admiration by constantly developing its site and adding new useful features. But most of all I liked their support: yes, I consider that StrictPay support service as the best among all the payment processors. I even don’t mention LibertyReserve where you can wait for the support answer for days when in StrictPay you can receive the reply to your request within minutes during their business hours. I am actually preparing a review of StrictPay which will be ready for publishing on my blog by Friday where I will describe all the main features and advantages of using StrictPay as a processor. I hope after that the administration of StrictPay will agree to answer some questions for my blog. By the way, speaking of their new features StrictPay recently added Live chat support and a brand new Communications Center which they mentioned in the recent update:
“We now offer Live Chat Support to help get your questions answered even more quickly than we already do. This feature is not only easy to use, but we also put it on numerous pages within the site. We see a number of sites using this feature, but they only put access to it on the home page. We have chosen to have access to it on all the pages that we see the most questions about. It is as simple as clicking on the button and typing your question and who you are. Our support center will still be helping with support tickets and contact requests, but we suggest using the Live Chat Support feature if you have a quick question you would like to have answered right away.
We also have a new Communications Center within your member area. You will see the Communications link on the left side of your member home page, and this new feature lets members communicate directly with each other within the site itself. We envision this feature as a great way for StrictPay members to keep in contact with each other as well as help others that are in their incentive downline.”

Tomorrow I will review another autosurf – GrandEarners – which I believe has a very good chance of having a bright future. I always believed that the admin’s personality plays a key role when you decide to choose a program. And in this case I can rely on the admin of GrandEarners site Mathew who was a long-time regular reader of my blog. Today he launched his new autosurf program GrandEarners together with his business partner Joseph. The plan is simple: every upgrade unit costs $5 which you can deposit from your LibertyReserve account. You surf daily to get 3% during 10 days after which your principal will be returned back to you. It’s that simple! So actually you will be in 30% profit after 10 days. GrandEarners just launched today and I hope it will be a good earning opportunity for you as the program surely deserves to be in your investment portfolio.

I was paid from different programs yesterday and today including: 12DailyForever, MegaLido, TradersInvestments, LargeSum, QuantumInv, MaxShare, SafeAtom, PanaMoney, FxSlaughter, AggeroInvestment, Richard-Falk, Tradelite, MutualForexFund, TopProfitWorld, FinoFex, HermisCapital, VolcanoInvest (my first payout) and GrandEarners (the first payout has been received today). Stay tuned for the review of GrandEarners and more news from the industry tomorrow!
