BEWARE! THIS PROGRAM IS PAYING SELECTIVELY!

Today I’m excited to review another HYIP I joined quite a long-time ago but first decided to test it properly before reviewing. I’m talking about Mountain-Mining – the HYIP that is paying variable returns to LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and Pecunix accounts. Before looking at the plans closely let’s review the company itself.

Mountain-Mining is claiming to invest the money into gold, nickel and uranium production. As we all know in today’s crisis in the economy investing into natural resources in developing countries can be extremely profitable. I believe that if Mountain-Mining is for real the opportunities for investors can be enormous. At least, they don’t lie about having phone support and you can actually call them on the Tanzanian number listed on their website and ask them your question in English, German or Swahili. By the way, from my conversation with the support representative over the phone he told me that you can request a brochure on a PDF file if you would like to know more about their company. By the way, the hours support is available is from 10:00am to 05:00pm (CAT). There is also a real address listed on Mountain-Mining website: “Mountain Mining Investment Limited Wayzata Bvd. Suite 127 P.O. Box 412, Dodoma, Tanzania” and number of the certificate of registration. Unfortunately I can’t confirm this info obviously as I don’t live in Tanzania but the fact that my phone call was answered is very encouraging in my opinion.

Let’s consider the investment plans Mountain-Mining is offering to the potential investors. Are they low-ROI? Not at all. Let’s have a brief look at them.

1) The Daily plan offers you 2.5% daily (if you invest from $15 to $250) or 3.5% daily if you invest more than $250. The ROI will be paid for 40 business days and the principal will be returned at the end of your investment term.

2) The 14 Day pan gives you the opportunity to earn 140% just after 14 business days. You will be paid your 140% on expiration of your investment plan. The minimum to invest in this plan is $25.

3) Finally if you’re going to invest $100 or more and don’t mind waiting for 5 weeks before you break-even I would suggest you to try 8 Week plan that offers you a chance to earn 20% weekly for 8 weeks (for the amounts $100-$800) or 25% weekly for 8 weeks (for the amounts more than $800). The principal will be returned to you at the end of your investment term.

There are three e-currencies accepted (LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and Pecunix) but if you decide to go with the larger amounts of $1,000 or more you may want to contact the admin for the instructions to proceed with your investment via WesternUnion or MoneyBookers.

I myself was in Mountain-Mining for more than a week and so far the payouts were stable and on time. The program has been online for 5 weeks and so far I haven’t found any cause for complaint. Well, you can study more info on the company from Mountain-Mining website but it looks really interesting in my opinion.

By the way, Mountain-Mining is hosted on a dedicated DDoS-protected server by LiquidWeb and the payouts are made directly to your e-currency accounts. So there is no need to request a payout which also eliminates some risks from hacking into the database. Mountain-Mining tells us that 90% of the deposits are secured so you will only risk 10% of your amount. But of course, you should remember that you should only invest the money you can afford to lose and even a real investment is always a risk.

At least, Mountain-Mining company looks different from the others and provides phone support which I really like about it. I would not be surprised if the company was real but the high ROI Mountain-Mining is offering to online investors makes me think that it’s still a risky venture.

Other news for today.

Ok, guys! It seems that Christmas is approaching faster than we thought as we see the continuing falling of the giants of the autosurfing industry. It started with MegaLido and yesterday just a few hours after my post was published it was clear to me that 8DailyForever turned into a big scam. It has lasted for 6 months and it’s obviously had thousands of members with at least a couple of million invested. After Susan’s leaving (an imaginary personality or real one? I don’t know) their blog posts were totally removed except the last one and the chatbox was left only with hundreds of angry investors trying to figure out what was happening. The chatbox was removed as well today leaving only Susan’s good-bye words and the promise to pay all the pendings. The promise was not fulfilled as you may imagine and the payouts stopped completely yesterday. It’s now more than 72 hours passed and there was no news from the new administration. So we can definitely draw the conclusion that 8DailyForever is gone. This Susan person appeared to be a very experienced scammer. First, the program was kinda flying under the radar with the 5% forever concept and then after several months of gaining members’ trust she came out with the new exciting 13% for 13 days plan which was one of the most profitable ones and can definitely attract many new members. Then some trouble follows with their hosting provider which affects the cash flow in a negative way, and as a result 8DailyForever is done. 8DailyForever has been already moved to Not Paying status on my monitoring page and please don’t upgrade there anymore.

Now back to more positive news. And let’s start with TrafficAlmighty (reviewed here) because the admin Tysin rarely posts any updates really. I would like to notice that the first cashouts have already been processed and I believe that TrafficAlmighty can set a new record in longevity for all of Tysin’s programs. At least we know that we have nothing to worry about TrafficAlmighty until Christmas comes at least. I really hope that the admin changed and is not the same as he was 2 years ago. I spoke to him on Skype recently and he told me that he had some plans for building a whole network of sites to sustain the payouts to members. I believe that he is a shrewd enough administrator with rich experience in running different types of programs and I hope TrafficAlmighty will really become a good experience for us all. Here’s the latest update (a very positive one btw) from Tysin:
“We’re sending out our second newsletter today. We’ve got great news and huge announcements today. First off I would like to start with congratulating everyone on your commitment and support you are giving to TrafficAlmighty. We have grown to almost 1900 members now and we continue to grow daily with your help. We have started payments and are paying out on a daily basis.
I see many happy members in our forum threads and I am sure we will continue to see more. I urge you to go post on our forum threads and vote in our monitors when you get paid. This helps our growth and gets us higher in ranks for our goal to be the Number ONE surf out there.
Let’s move on to the announcements:
1. After many requests and careful consideration we have added a new Payment Processor – StrictPay. We are now accepting deposits through StrictPay.
2. As planned we stated that we will be making a network of sites. Today we are launching a new feature in TrafficAlmighty aimed to boost our income for more stability to the program. We have launched the new Almighty Lottery.
This subsite will feature a double weekly lottery draw designed in a way that puts more money in the lottery participant’s pocket and gives out a higher rate of winning. Every ticket purchase is given 3 random numbers and the amount is put into the Pot amount to be won when the lottery draw takes place. Three random numbers will be drawn and those who have all three drawn numbers in their purchased ticket will get 60% of the pot. Those who have two numbers will get 30% and those who have one number will get 10% of the total pot for that lottery draw. Please note that in case of multiple winners, the % of the pot will be split equally between them.
Each ticket is $2 and draws are every Sunday and Wednesday. Please I urge you to take advantage of this unique feature, have fun, win some extra cash and help TrafficAlmighty at the same time. Since we just opened it up today, the first draw will be taking place on Sunday 29th November and every Wednesday and Sunday after that. You can visit the lottery sub site by clicking on the Lottery link found on the right menu in the TrafficAlmighty site.
3. You asked for it, we’re giving it to you, our first Contests. We have created 2 contests, a referral contest and a banner contest. For the highest fairness and to try to involve all members equally, the referral contest will be split into two. A contest for Monitors, Blog owners & other high traffic site owning members and another for Normal Members. This contest will begin from today 25th November and will keep on going till 9th December. Prizes for both referral contests will be:
1st Place – $150 2nd Place – $70 3rd Place – $35 4th Place – 15 AdClusters 5th Place – 10 AdClusters
So get started and recruit, recruit, recruit to claim your prize.
The second contest is a creativity contest where we are asking members to submit a TrafficAlmighty banner they created.
Anyone can enter and all submissions will be accepted. We will then choose the best three banners submissions, who will win prizes and feature their banners in our advertising campaigns.
Prizes are: 1st Place – $50 2nd Place – $30 3rd Place – 20 Adclusters
Please note that those submitting normal rectangle banners need to submit it both in 728×90 and 468×60 format. Those submitting a 125×125 need only submit it in that size.
4. Not only are we giving you a great referral contest but for a limited time only we are also increasing the commissions earned. We have now added an extra 3% commission on your 2nd level downline for a total of 7% referral commission (1st level 4% & 2nd Level 3%). There is no date set yet when the 2nd level commission will be removed but take advantage of it while you can!
Thats all for our 2nd newsletter and our big announcements promised. We hope you will enjoy all this news and features.
We welcome any suggestions you might have as we have been doing for the past few weeks and should you have any problems please don’t hesitate to send in a support ticket (please note that we reply within 48 hours).
Again I urge every member to read the FAQ. This is very important. I’ve had many support tickets asking me questions which can easily be found in the FAQ. Before sending in a support ticket with a problem, please read the FAQ.”

The admin of another quite popular autosurf program AggeroInvestment (read my interview here) sent out the last email today before going private tomorrow. So far AggeroInvestment was very fast with payouts and the admin Roger was very supportive to the members and I hope it will not change after the coming privatization. Anyway, this is the last newsletter I received from him:
“It is amazing to see how our membership numbers exploded as our privatization nears! We are, as of this writing, currently 2,246 members! Congratulations to all of you for a job well done. I will be announcing the winners of our contest ‘Race to 2000!’ once we go private. I have a lot of counting to do!
Anyway, speaking of going private, we are officially a private entity beginning Nov. 27th at 11:59:59 PM server time. Many ask me when the exact time is we go private, so there you have it. We have today and all day tomorrow tomorrow left. Once you are a member then you already secured a spot on our program. The only thing changing is we won’t be accepting any new members. Besides that, nothing else will change. I am not going to delete any inactive or free accounts unless they specifically request it via support ticket.
I am definitely content with our numbers. At first, I wasn’t even expecting 2000, but when we reached it, I was overjoyed! Our family definitely grew and now, me and my wife partner will be working double time to make this the number one program for all of you. All I’m asking is that you help out your downlines in walking through our program, lend them a hand so I can focus more on the other things. Email them and tell them that if they have any questions then they can always email you back. Thank you.
That’s about it! My next email would be the newsletter on Friday when we are private already. Have a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving! This is certainly a great time to be thankful! And a happy 3rd month anniversary also to our program Aggero.”

The same Thanksgiving congratulations came from the DailyProfitPond administration (reviewed here). But before that you had to read some important announcement regarding changing the payout rules. From now on all the payouts made in DailyProfitPond can be pending for the period of 3 to 5 business days (Mon-Fri). I hope it was made because of a very rapid growth of the membership base and because the admin couldn’t handle all the payouts that fast. Another reason could be that DailyProfitPond has some cash flow problems which would be not so good for the members. Anyway, if you have some withdrawal request that is pending for too long please submit a ticket or go and post on DPP forum. Honestly I think the admin was not ready for such a rapid growth (about 6,000 members after only 3 weeks online) and that’s why many tickets are still unanswered and many issues are not solved. Let’s hope that DailyProfitPond will stay afloat at least until Christmas. Here’s the latest newsletter from the admin:
“Dear DPP Members,
We wish to announce some very strict decisions made by the Daily Profit Pond administration.
Please listen carefully to some of our rules and policies of DPP.
1. It’s members responsibility to enter their correct Payout details. Before posting your remarks on the forums on not getting paid. Please ensure that you have entered your payout details correctly.
2. All Withdrawals have an official pending period of 3 – 5 business days. This is to enable us verify payouts before processing to members.
3. Please ensure that you include your DPP account username on all your communication with us. There is no way we can track your account if you dont provide us your DPP account username. Support tickets without account username would be deleted.
4. You can only withdraw with the payment processor you used to upgrade. Several of our pond members have been abusing our program by upgraded using STP or AlertPay and have been placing numerous withdrawals using LibertyReserve. Starting from this moment, any user found doing this will have their accounts permanently deleted and they will forfeit all commissions and rebate earnings. Their are no exceptions to this rule.
As a result of this, all pending LR withdrawal request shall be refunded back to members account. We are giving members another chance to place withdrawals using the payment processors they used to upgrade. (NOTE: This only affects LR cashouts).
Thanks for your understanding and have a beautiful Thanksgiving day!”

FastProfitSurf admin made a miraculous re-appearance today after 3 days of silence and sent out the following email to the members:
“I’ve been away for few days and asked a friend to handle the payouts for me but it seems that he messed up everything. He had some big payouts two days ago and got scarred so stop them all after this. Now I’m back but i found some of the accounts locked. The other problem is that my friend made some of the payouts but left all of them in pending so now I need to manually go over all of them to see who’s been paid and who was not. Support as you can imagine is a mess also with more than 3000 emails there and it’s not human possible to solve them fast so please be patient. I’ve started the payouts today on SP and STP which are not locked. I’ve emailed the others to unlocked to can make all payments. Apologize are not enough for all this mess and I couldn’t even imagine this will happen in only couple of days of me gone. I am sorry and I’ll do my best to fix all this mess. It will take some time but all i can say is I’m sorry and I’ll continue the payments. Thank you for your support.”
Well, what I can say? It’s rather a strange explanation but taking into account that he paid me three of my five pending withdrawals to LibertyReserve today I would give this guy the benefit of the doubt for now. But I will not return it to Paying status just because he paid me. Please report to me those, who had some pendings to LR and got paid today and then we can verify if the payouts have actually been resumed or it is just some selective payouts to lure more innocent victims before closing the program. Anyway, I will leave FastProfitSurf in Waiting status until everybody is paid because I still don’t believe the program can continue after the damage done and the admin’s AlertPay account blocked. Anyway, it’s just my thoughts and I really hope the admin will not turn into another scammer. So far please DON’T upgrade in FastProfitSurf even if you’re paid by the admin!

Maybe because of the coming Christmas season it’s better to stick with the proven programs that are here for a long time? I’m talking about ResidualForexIncome for example that has a good track record of paying the investors for 3 months already. Today the admin (read my interview with him here) announced that the program started accepting AlertPay which is definitely a good sign that will attract many new members to the program. AlertPay is a reliable payment processor and I believe that it will give ResidualForexIncome even more credibility in the eyes of potential investors. Here’s the latest update:
“RFI is becoming more convenient. Kindly be informed that AlertPay payment processor is now available!
We have received a lot of requests to add this e-currency over the last a few months. So now this payment option is available.
If you would like to use AlertPay account for making deposits please follow the 2 possible variants.
1. Log into your RFI member account. Click “change password” link at the bottom and input your AP account (email) into the consequent field, click “add” button. That’s it!
2. Contact us attaching your AP account. Your AP account will be added within 24 hours.
Thanks for staying with RFI!”

As you might remember I reviewed another program called 2008-N yesterday (read the review here). Well, today to my surprise the admin announced that they will be accepting a very new payment processor called ECUmoney: “We’re selected as a new partner of ECUmoney, an E-currency in New Zealand. If you want to make a deposit via this E-currency, please contact me first.” To tell you the truth I have already opened an account in ECUmoney but haven’t tested it so far because not many HYIPs accept it yet. The ECUmoney e-currency is a real registered company from New Zealand which can be actually checked on New Zealand’s register board site. They have some very innovative features like SMS notifications and the support is available in 5 languages. I will not be revealing everything I found out about this e-currency so far but I’m going to review it pretty soon, when more programs will accept it.

I would like to apologize that I reported about BlueBorgartFunds as a Paying program last night. I was paid only on Monday but I didn’t get my payment on Tuesday or today. Many people on forums also didn’t get it. Well, I assume I was right the first time when I warned you about that scammer and his connection with BlosFinance program. Anyway, I’m very sorry for misleading you yesterday and I already moved the program to the Not Paying list.

It’s strange that BestFXWorld‘s admin is encouraging everybody to join his site with .us extention but is not paying. I for one have three pending payouts and I believe the admin is paying selectively now. Anyway, here’s the latest from him:
“This is sent to all active members from BestFXWorld. 3 days ago our COM domain has suspended via registrar with out any acceptable reason.. have sent all documents for unsuspend… and waiting.. you can use this domain bestfxworld.US the same as old one… if you have any problem or suggestion please contact me“.
I would not recommend you to deposit into BestFXWorld until the payouts resume. But I really think that the program is done because as a rule such programs don’t usually return safe and sound after such a mess with suspended domains.

The same warning goes with WSSavior which just returned back online. The payments are yet to be processed and mine is still pending. I would advise you to expercise caution and don’t invest in WSSavior until the payouts resume.

I was paid from the following programs today: W-MTFund, Tradelite, Frogress, MutualForexFund, TrafficAlmighty, AggeroInvestment, DailyProfitPond, Olympex-Group, SafeAtom, SummitReserve, Commoditex, PanaMoney, ANOI, SurfExchange, NoRiskInvestment, StabilitySurf, InoFund, MajorBarter, 2008-N, Youmilex, LargeSum, Mountain-Mining, EasyCash24, GoldNuggetInvest, HermisCapital, FastProfitSurf and SurfPal (the first daily payout has been received).

By the way, SurfPal is the newest addition on my list of monitored programs. I joined it yesterday and already got my first payout today. Yes, SurfPal has a daily plan of 9% for 13 days (117%). But it also has another plan of 13% for 10 days with payouts on expiry. One unit will cost you $5 and there are 4 payment processors accepted: LibertyReserve, StrictPay, SolidTrustPay and AlertPay (currently disabled due to some technical issues). The withdrawal requests can be done daily from the first plan, if you go with 130% plan you will be paid on expiry. SurfPal program really stands out from the crowd with its sleek layout, variable plans, dedicated server and committed admin Enrique. I believe that the program can achieve even more but it’s already proven itself with the fast payouts and good membership growth (more than 600 members for less than 2 weeks online is quite a good result). Anyway, I hope to review SurfPal tomorrow together with more news and updates from the industry. Stay tuned and see you all tomorrow!
