THIS PROGRAM HAS STOPPED PAYING! PLEASE DON’T INVEST!

Hi everybody! Well I hope you’re all safe and well and wherever you are enjoying the holidays. I hope Santa Claus was good to you guys too. And I hope you’re all looking forward to 2009 as much as I am. Why? Well for one thing I’m hoping for an abundance of quality programs for us all to share in. And I really think we getting off to a flying start with the one I want to review today. OK I know it’s still 2008 but I have a gut feeling this one’s gonna make a big splash in the new year. What is it? It’s called BrainManagement and it’s been running for the last two weeks. Let’s have a closer look.

It was actually brought to my attention by a reader here. It’s kind of a quirky, funny name and has some unusual graphics to go with it. But it’s a bit more serious when it comes to the serious business of making a profit for it’s members. For one thing, they are an officially registered company in the British Virgin Islands and this is just an enormous plus in my own opinion. You can find evidence of this by going to the website of the BVI financial services commission here first to see what this commission does, and then here to see a list of licensed business entities regulated by them. Now I know what the cynics might say, but honestly, if they’ve gone to this much trouble, I think it says a lot about their intentions. In fact I think it’s one of the best selling points of BrainManagement overall. And there’s lots of them.

And so to the plans. There’s two of them on offer and I must say I draw very strong comparisons here between BrainManagement and NoRiskInvestment. Which is no bad thing either by the way. Both plans are very simple, straight forward and no nonsense. And both plans can be funded in either Dollars or Euros. The first option offers you a chance to earn 1.8%-2.4% daily for 45 business days with your principal returned on expiry. Interest rates vary according to the size of your investment with the minimum stake being either $10 or EUR 10. There is no upper limit but the maximum interest level only applies to amounts of $/EUR 10,000 or more. An example however would be that if you invest $100, your return will be $190. Payments are made five days per week, Monday to Friday and are made automatically.

The second plan is for a term of 90 days and is the one I chose to join myself. Granted it’s a lot riskier, but the returns are better and I’m feeling confident that BrainManagement will comfortably be around long enough to me to profit from this. It offers 2%-2.6% daily for 90 business days, again with principal returned on expiry. Put that same hundred bucks into this one for example, and see it turn into just short of $300. Minimum investment here is also $10 or EUR 10 with no maximum. Direct automatic payments are given here as with the first plan, and are also made on business days Monday through Friday. LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney are the accepted payment processors. One feature here I’m intrigued about is the admin’s claims that your investment is insured so you need not worry about losses. That’s a new one to me, so if I can get him to agree to an interview soon I’ll try to pursue it with him.

Security, as any regular reader here knows, is something I am very particular about. And I’m pleased to say that BrainManagement seem to take it pretty seriously too. They are hosted on a dedicated server with anti-DdoS protection provided by DdoSWiz. All transactions you make are secured and made via a secure SSL-channel. But another great feature here, and one I can’t really remember seeing elsewhere at the moment, is the registration process. Under this you will be given a unique personal account number which you will need to remember. You will need this along with your password to log-in. Once you successfully log-in you will see your member’s area toolbar, your referral stats as well as your own referral link, and all the various other stats relating to your account and its user history.

Contact at the moment is limited to e-mail, but they promise phone support to follow shortly. Of course the do list the “traditional” postal address, or snail mail, but how many of you guys are using that regularly anymore?

Anyway, the bottom line here is this. I expect this industry to liven up significantly in January and I think BrainManagement will be a major player here in months ahead. Judging by what a lot of you are posting on the forums it seems I’m not alone in thinking this. Feedback is almost universally positive on this one. As per usual, do your own research and get as many unbiased opinions as possible, but if you do agree with me then I have to say that the best time to join BrainManagement is now.

Other news for today.

Let’s start our news section today with some encouraging news from AggeroInvestment and its admin Roger (interviewed here). It seems he already found a new hosting for his site but the old provider surprised us again and the site appeared online suddenly. It was a pleasant surprise for all the investors and of course Roger himself who was kinda frustrated with the current course of events. The question of transition is still under consideration but since AggeroInvestment got back online the admin started to process the payments already I already got all my pendings so surely this downtime will not become a lame excuse not to pay members. I still consider AggeroInvestment as the safest online investment program so far and am eagerly awaiting the program opening it’s doors again for new members which is happening quite soon. Of course my readers will find out about this event one of the first. Anyway, here’s the latest update from the admin:
“I woke up with some great news! Our old hosting server managed to fix every issue our site was experiencing the past few days. Apparently, he too was having some major problems of his own. All I can say is WE ARE BACK! Some things I want to say:
1. As promised, Dec. 24th and 25th will be compensated as free surf days. That is our team’s gift to you! I hope you had a wonderful time spending Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with your family. I had a stressful one because of our untimely downtime but I managed to spend it with them anyway.
2. Due to our current hosting’s issues, I am still deciding if we should move to another server that I have been communicating with the past day OR give them another chance. His reason for not replying was his ticketing system was flooded with spam due to some haters wanting to ruin him. But a server move will mean probably another day of downtime (or less) while we move the database and the propagation. Give me your thoughts by posting at the forums. Please do not reply to this email with your inputs. Thank you.
3. I have started doing payouts already and will finish it as soon as I send this email out. I haven’t requested this before but if you have been paid, PLEASE POST on any of our forums that you are a member of. It will help us greatly get our image back! I have to admit that even with my constant updates and presence at the forums that there are still some people that lost a little confidence on our program. I would hate to lose them and future members as they have a good thing going here.
4. Like I said on my last update at the forums, our 4th month anniversary is still ON tomorrow! My excitement is back! The details of the contest will still be sent later on. The registrations will still be opened up tomorrow. Post your comments about this on the forums also. Let’s get our threads RED HOT from now on!”

Ok, guys! I’m not sure about the status of DailyDiamondSurf because I’m getting some contradictory reports regarding the payments processed. Some of my readers told me that they were paid, others said they weren’t. I myself have one pending from yesterday but if you take a look at their FAQ it’s written that all withdrawals should be processed within 1-3 business days. That’s why I can’t say if the delays with payouts are just caused by DDoS-attacks or by a festive payout schedule or by some other reason. Anyway, the admin of DailyDiamondSurf already gave an update regarding the current status of the program and I hope I was wrong about this program. We will wait and see! And here’s the update:
“Hello and Happy christmas to everyone!
Firstly, please accept our apologies for the small absence (our TOS allow 1-3 days, so we are not in late, all payment request more than 2-3 days are paid already).
We are no come back and process payment, answer mails….We were not online only 30 hours exactly, and for the Christmas day. Since the start we are online 20 h per day and thought that members will can understand a small absence for this special day. This the christmas day again for me and Marc today, and as you can see we come back already.
I understand that some members had some fear, but we are now come back and all work fine now.”

W-MTFund (reviewed here) is back after some downtime and it appears they had a small problem with the database that needed fixing. The admin of W-MTFund (interviewed here) sent out another update today and let everybody know that the next payouts will be processed on December 27, due to the Christmas payout schedule:
“Dear Investor,
– after restoring our database, we have made a complete check of the LR/PM accounts associated with our customers’ accounts. We have found very few mistakes and have corrected them. Customers who have not made a deposit yet will have to reinsert the number of their LR/PM account.
– Please, remember our notice published on Dec. 23: today we do not process the withdrawals, next payouts will be processed on Saturday, Dec. 27.
– As you already know, we are planning to add other payment processors besides LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney. Please, let us know your opinion: which is your favourite payment processor?”

The administration of another quite popular low-ROI program called ResidualForexIncome (reviewed here) sent his congratulations to all the members with a small Christmas rhyme attached. I think this really creates a festive mood in my heart, and in yours? Just read this:
“RFI Team wishes you a Merry Christmas! We hope that this Christmas Eve brings your family together to become a very special holiday of 2009.
“Through a frosty winter night
In a sleigh with reindeer flight
Bringing joy to large and small
Merry Christmas one and all!”

Another very popular program SummitReserve (reviewed here) summoned the annual results in its latest email newsletter to members. The admin of SummitReserve Clark (read my detailed interview with him here) promised to work hard to live up to expectations of the investors in the coming new 2009 year as well:
“The team of SummitReserve congratulates all our investors Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We wish all of you great success in any sphere you work on. Let all the beginnings and initiations be successful within the entire year. We also like to thank you everybody who trusts SummitReserve since business should always be based on confidence.
At SummitReserve we view our network of investors as a close community with a common goal of financial success by means of open communication and fair practices. Our emphasis has always been on customer satisfaction and customer service. As we have developed within the industry and alongside our clients, we have been able to bring tremendous financial gains to our community of investors. It is important, however, that we continue to use the services provided by the company in a way that will preserve the company`s ability to sustain the financial success of all our investors.”

But what can be a better gift for an investor than some bonus added to his/her account? I think LargeSum (reviewed here) made a good choice by announcing some special Christmas bonus for everybody that makes an investment during this holiday season. You shouldn’t worry about this bonus by the way as it’s not a way to lure investors before disappearing. LargeSum has been online and paying for 3 years already and survived many things which the admin of LargeSum William Flanders told me in his interview that was published on my blog here. Anyway, I’m quite sure LargeSum will survive the “Christmas syndrome” and encourage you to take a closer look to this special Christmas bonus offer from them:
“Dear Friends! The team of LargeSum is happy to congratulate all members, partners and investors with the forthcoming Christmas and New Year. As a present the BONUS is offered. Starting from December 25 to January 7 make a new deposit for any amount to any program and get extra 15% added to your account automatically. Benefit more with LargeSum! Happy Holidays! Yours Faithfully, LargeSum Team.”

As usual at the end of my post I’m reporting the programs I was paid by for the last couple of days. So today and yesterday I was paid from the following: AggeroInvestment, GoldNuggetInvest, Pioneer-Fund, EliteFundGroup, GrandTrade, EmeraldProLtd, SummitReserve, IntensifyFunds, SilverInvest, FXOIC, InoFund, MajorBarter, 2008-N, LargeSum, NoRiskInvestment, CapitalCorpex, Giant-Investment, EKOFunds, 12DailyHits, HermisCapital, Youmilex, ResidualForexIncome, ANOI, BrainManagement and BestFXWorld. By the way, I again returned BestFXWorld to Paying status on my monitoring page because it seems the payouts have resumed and the program is back on track. Unfortunately I can’t say the same encouraging things about SafeAtom and Commoditex that seem to have joined the list of big scams of 2008. Let’s hope that 2009 year will be much better and safer for the online investors. Merry Christmas and happy New Year to everybody! See you on my blog very soon!
