Hi everyone! I hope you’ve all been good boys and girls this year and are looking forward to Santa Claus coming to visit you later tonight, lol! It certainly seems that many admins are being swept up in all this festive mood, judging by the updates and celebratory e-mails being sent out. I myself am enjoying a well earned rest, if you could call it a rest in all the hustle and bustle, in London. My window overlooks on of the many parks in the centre of the city and I must say that even here is starting to seem very calm and serene now.

And so to business. No reviews today, so I’d just like to give you a brief update from the programs I am monitoring. And keeping in the festive spirit it’s mostly positive news. I say mostly but then we can’t have it all or own way it seems. More about that later. By the way, I won’t be updating tomorrow, but I will have a new review for you on the following day.

Let’s start with the news from InoFund program that proved to be one of the best medium-term program for the last couple of months. It never stops surprising investors with its stable work and instant payments (applied to LibertyReserve withdrawals only). The plans InoFund is offering are fully described in my review published here. But I would like to remind you that there are four plans available which suits the needs of every investor: 1% for 3 days (for the deposits ranging from $5 to $35), 2% for 7 days (for the deposits ranging from $35 to $500) and 3% for 31 days (for the deposits from $500 to $3,500) and 3.3% for 62 days (for the deposits starting from $3,500). The InoFund company announced another Christmas plan that will be for a limited time. This and other forthcoming events were reported in today’s Christmas update from InoFund:

“Good day Dear InoFund Inc Member, Here is just last InoFund Inc good news:
New investment plan “Christmas”. It’s a pleasure for InoFund Inc to inform you of our new investment plan “Christmas” that will be available on the forthcoming holidays.
The opportunity of investing your money at a higher interest rate will be open just until January, 7. According to the “Christmas” plan your daily interest rate will amount to 3.3%, the payoffs are effected on a daily basis, the length of the deposit is 42 days.
The amount to be deposited ranges from $1000 (min) to $10000 (max). Don’t lose your chance to benefit from cooperation with our Company during Christmas holidays!
We are working with StrictPay merchant!
Following numerous requests of our clients, we are happy to announce that starting from the 17th of December our Fund takes deposits through merchant provider StrictPay!
Furthermore, we are going to enable payments through AlertPay at an early date for your convenience. AlertPay coming soon, we are just waiting for the account verification.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!”

Some good news came from AggeroInvestment (reviewed here) as well. The admin Roger will open the program’s doors for new members again and it will happen not before December, 27 when the program will celebrate its 4th month online. Moreover, there will be some new exciting contests announced shortly where all the members can win some very good prizes. The update is the following:
“This is a quick but interesting and important update. I hope you won’t pass this up and will read it in it’s entirety.
1st – We are going to have an exciting contest starting on our 4th month anniversary, Dec. 27th. It will run for one week. I am still finalizing all the details and will be posting it on the 26th. The title of our contest will be ‘AGGERO’S POST-CHRISTMAS, 4th MONTH ANNIVERSARY and NEW YEARS CELEBRATION CONTEST SWEEPSTAKES’! I know, I know what you’re gonna say, ‘Wow, that title is long, can’t he think of a shorter one?’. I will, I’m just not in a thinking mood right now as my mind is set on the Christmas rush and what gifts to give each family member. Busy, busy days ahead! So give me a break ok.
2nd – Part of the contest will be getting new referrals. Therefore, we are going to open up registrations starting Dec. 27th. And it will remain open indefinitely until I deem it necessary to privatize the program again.
3rd – The good news keeps on coming! I am looking at cash prizes, Apple Ipod Touches, a video/MP3 player, video games, etc. as prizes for our contest. A total of more than $2500 worth of prizes will be awarded to 10 winners ONLY. You really have to work hard so your chances of winning increases on this contest. But every single ACTIVE member has a chance and I made sure of that.
That’s all I can say for now! Again, details will be sent and posted on the 26th. You will not receive any updates from me before then as I will be busy also. Anyway, hopefully, that pumped you up as it pumped me up realizing this.
With that, me and my family greets you and your family a wonderful and blessed Christmas. Stay happy and safe always!”
I must point out that AggeroInvestment is not currently accessible due to some unknown reason. Fortunately Roger is a very proactive admins and he seems to be already taking measures to restore the servise asap and meanwhile you can relax because today and tomorrow are announced as surfing holidays by the admin:
“Due to this unforseen circumstance, I declare that today and tomorrow Christmas day (Dec. 24th and 25th) be surfing holidays. You do not need to surf today and tomorrow and you will be compensated with 8.5% rebate on both days. Spend time with your families during these two days and just relax and have fun. We will be back. In case that they can’t fix the issue or can’t be back by the 26th then I will find another hosting provider.”

Another program which is offline at the moment of writing this is W-MTFund (reviewed here). This is one of the best performers in 2008 and I hope it will stay with us in the coming 2009 as well. This is the update explaining the reason for the downtime:
“Dear Investors, our website is currently under maintenance. Please, bear in mind that during the Christmas holiday the website safety will be improved, the script modified to add new payment systems and all our members’ accounts checked and verified for their security. This will cause some temporary outages. We apologize for the inconvenience. W-MTFund will be back online within 12-24 hours.”
Also due to Christmas holidays the special delay in payments was announced so be aware of this:
“All today’s pending withdrawals have been processed by schedule. We will not process withdrawals on Thursday, Dec. 25 (it’s Christmas!). Investors asking for the withdrawal from now on will be paid on Saturday, Dec. 27.”

The programs that are actually involved in Forex trading announced some prolonged Christmas holidays during which the investors will not be getting any daily interest. For example, PanaMoney (reviewed here) will not be trading between December, 23rd and January, 4th so please read this update carefully to avoid any future misunderstandings:
“Our company would like to wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Let the holiday season and New Year bring the financial prosperity, wellness and happiness to you and your family.
During these six months of our online activity, PanaMoney has made a break-trough in online investment market and managed Forex trading. Many professionals in related fields, corporate and individual clients have highly appreciated our transparency and one of our unique advantages – the possibility to see the course of Forex trades in real time. During this period we have acquired many friends and partners we are happy to cooperate with. And we do our best to meet our clients’ needs, in particular, by making new plans for adding more payment methods for account’s funding and withdrawal.
I am pleased to note that we have been cooping well with the safe management of our clients’ funds in Forex market and ensuring their continuous growth.
Please, be informed that our company will not make any trading transactions from December, 23. The trading activity will be renewed on January, 5. However, our Customer Support will reply to any of your inquiries and concerns via e-mail and live chat available 9 am – 6 pm Panama time Monday – Friday (except for Christmas Eve and Christmas, New Year Eve and New Year Day).
We are happy to have you as our client and hope for continuous and beneficial cooperation.”

MutualForexFund (reviewed here) is not trading during this festive season either so the profits will not be added to members’ accounts as well (well, it’s the major drawback to any program involved in Forex trading). But there is some positive news as well – MutualForexFund started accepting AlertPay (though a 3% deposit fee applies). Anyway, the admin of the program (read my interview with him here) sent this holiday update to all the members of MutualForexFund:
“MutualForexFund (Mutual Forex INC) would like to wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
From December 24 2008 till Jan 4 2009 we’ll not do any live FOREX trading so no earnings will be added to your accounts. Trading, payments and support will be restarted on Jan 5 2009.
I am glad to announce that AlertPay is available as a payment and withdrawal option for our investors. We’ve just signed an agreement with one of our brokers allowing us to trade using AlertPay. This save us a lot of time and fees as there’s not necessary to withdraw the funds in the bank, transfer them to the broker, trade, withdraw the funds to bank and the upload to AlertPay account. However there is a 3% deposit fee on AlertPay deposits that will cover AlertPay internal fees.
Tthe payment options for MutualForexFund are SolidTrustPay, LibertyReserve, StrictPay, C-gold, PerfectMoney and AlertPay.
As of December 24, 2008 MutualForexFund has paid out over two hundred thousand dollars to over three thousand active investors worldwide. We should all be proud of this colossal accomplishment and use this to motivate others in joining MutualForexFund. The future is very bright here at MFF. Thank for your awesome support. We will continue to exceed your expectations.”

The admin of 2008-N Fatmir (interviewed here) paid $1 to the LR accounts of all active members of his program including me. I would like to thank the admin for this small but pleasant Christmas gift to the members of 2008-N and wish him and his program prosperity in the New 2009 Year. Here’s the update:
“Dear Partners, All active members who replied my mail and sent their username, LR account and a simple comment of 2008-N have received their free $1 Christmas Bonus directly to their LR account. Please check it. I just want to say thank you very much for your supports. I can’t guarantee anything, but I do promise to be always with you and bring more profits to you. Merry Christmas!”

The admin of SilverInvest Louise (interviewed here) also promised some Christmas bonus for all new members who make their deposits into his program before the New Year starts. I remind you that SilverInvest program is making money on trading silver and that you can actually read the difference between SilverInvest and other programs in my detailed review published here. And this is the update from the admin:
“The year 2008 has been truly extraordinary as a result of the many contributions of our most valued and trusted investors! At SilverInvest, we are looking forward to an even greater 2009 with many exciting rewards for all our members!
I want to jump-start the new year with a great invitational offer. New members who join our daily, weekly, or monthly plan before January 1st will receive a 10% bonus on their investment! To top it off and for the first time in our program, I will even award a 20% bonus on investments over 2,500 USD!
Are you ready for the new year? We certainly are! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!”

The promotional contest made by the admin of Youmilex Edward (interviewed here) is over and the results will be drawn soon. This is the latest update for the members of Youmilex:
“The Marketing Master Contest is officially over. No more submissions are accepted. We are now reviewing all the slogans you’ve sent us and will honor the winners tomorrow. Referral commissions have been set at 5% again. But don’t let that disappoint you. There are more contests in the making, so don’t miss our newsletters.”

There are some more explanations offered by the admin of URInvest Paul (read my interview with him here) regarding the questions that probably are being asked in many emails. So I think it’s a good practice to publish the answers for such common questions in the newsletters to the members just like the admin of URInvest is doing:
“Happy Holidays Season to all members of URInvest!!!
Multiple deposits are allowed in the program with the only restriction that TOTAL amount deposited in promotional plan cannot exceed $100, at any given time. In addition to deposits made via payment processors, users MAY also create additional deposits using their account balance as funding source (to effectively compound their earnings if they wish to do so).
In general, please exercise common sense when making transactions on your account: All program features, functions and offers are shown on the website, therefore, if you are planning to do any transaction that you are not sure about, just inquire with support and we will most likely accomodate your needs.
We received many questions about users’ “referral area”.
Specifically, “what do the numbers shown under “ins” and “sign ups” mean?”.
These numbers show date specific number of visits that your referral link generated (ins) and, correspondingly, how many users who visited URInvest after clicking on your referral link, became program members (sign ups). If you see any value shown under “sign up” column, it means you’ve sponsored new program member. It also means that in case this new member makes a deposit, you are entitled to a referral commission money, even if you do not have active deposit of your own.
A good example of this feature in action, is when users place their referral links in their signature field on various forums they participate in. Then, when such forum users make posts (in ANY section of the forums), their signature becomes visible to all OTHER forum readers, who may then click on YOUR signature’s link to learn more about URInvest.
As we mentioned earlier, we also see many users are efficiently advertising their referral link in various autosurf programs, which generate even higher number of referred visits.”

I received many emails regarding SafeAtom and the pending payments the members are waiting on. I myself am not satisfied with SafeAtom and have a couple of pending payouts which I hope will be paid soon. But if we consider that the admin stopped communicating, the delay with payouts can hardly be a very good sign either. Anyway, SafeAtom has a Waiting status on my monitoring page now and I would recommend you to exercise caution with this site from now on. I said to many of my readers in private that SafeAtom may well not be able to survive Christmas and apparently I was right. Don’t want to sound pessimistic but if the admin doesn’t give us any update in the next 48 hours SafeAtom will go to Not Pying status. Anyway, the program was great and paid since February for 10 months. And this was a very long lifespan for such a profitable HYIP. I hope you managed to make some profits with SafeAtom and hopefully there will be lots of such a long-term programs in the coming 2009. Hopefully, SafeAtom didn’t steal Christmas from you!

Anyway, traditionally at the end of my post I would like to report the payments I received over the last two days. So the programs that paid me are: EliteFundGroup, InoFund, EKOFunds, Youmilex, 12DailyHits, AggeroInvestment, EmeraldProLtd, DailyDiamondSurf, LargeSum, FXOIC, IntensifyFunds, ANOI, MajorBarter, NoRiskInvestment, GoldNuggetInvest, 2008-N, Pioneer-Fund, GrandTrade, CapitalCorpex, URInvest, PanaMoney, ResidualForexIncome, Mountain-Mining, Giant-Investment, W-MTFund, MutualForexFund and BrainManagement (the first payouts received). Speaking of BrainManagement I’m satisfied with the program’s performance so far as I consider it as one of the most promising programs for the coming year. Stay tuned for my review of BrainManagement that will be published on my blog in a couple of days! Once again, I wish you all the very best Christmas!
