JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE ADMIN’S CPANEL HAD BEEN HACKED! PLEASE DON’T INVEST UNTIL THE ISSUE IS FIXED!

Hi guys! No news yesterday as you may have noticed due to too much time being spent in airports, but I’ll make up for that at the end of today’s review. And that review is of ProInvestex. Now I know I said I’d give a wide berth to surfing programs in general after some recent high profile surfing disasters, and at first glance ProInvestex would appear to be a surfing program. But it isn’t. Not completely anyway. I mean there is that aspect to it but there is also a variety of non-surfing plans available and that is how I chose to join this one. So there is something to unite both surfing and non-surfing aficionados alike under one umbrella.

Not a very common concept but not an entirely original one either. In fact there are numerous examples of HYIP/surf hybrids and many of them proved to be successful. Will ProInvestex be one of them? Time will tell, but I think at this stage they have every chance of doing so.

We’ll start with the plans which I suppose is the first thing most of you want to hear about. And as I said I joined on the HYIP side so I guess I’ll concentrate on that first. There are three non-surf investment plans available that range from medium to long term in duration. Medium and long term in the language of HYIPs that is. The first one runs for 100 days. It pays you 3% interest per day, which you may collect daily, and is open to deposits between $10 and $3000. That effectively means you triple your money by the time the plan expires. But you will recoup your principal after 34 days and from there on it’s pure profit.

A faster less risky but less rewarding option is available for 50 days. In this one you may invest anything from a minimum of $20 up to a maximum of $10,000. Join here and you will be rewarded with a daily return of 4%, again payable by the day. A simple mathematics test would imply we are expected to double our money in by the time of expiry. But you should break even and start turning a profit after 25 days.

And finally for the non surfing options we have an option that runs for just 30 days. That makes it the least risky plan so of course it is also the least rewarding. But it is still a solid and dependable plan that you may find quite profitable. With a minimum spend of $50, it’s the one I decided to join myself. In return for your investment here you will receive a daily repayment of 5%, which means by the time th program expires you will have a total return of 150% of your principal. It also means you will have broken even after 20 days so it’s pure profit for you after that.

Now we move on to the surf plans. I’m a bit less enthusiastic about them myself at the moment which is just a personal opinion, but if you are determined to keep on surfing then they’re no less valid if you are loyal to surfer programs.

The first surfing option runs for just 7 days and offers 112% return (or 16% per day, paid on expiry) for a minimum spend of at least $30. The maximum amount to spend is $5000 and payment is made on expiry. That’s 16% per day.

The next surfing plan will pay you 120% of your principal, or 12% per day, again on expiry, and is available to join for a minimum of $10. The maximum is $4000 and the plan runs for 10 days.

The final surfing plan runs for 13 days and you can join with a minimum of just $5. The maximum is $6,000 and the total payment on expiry is 130% of your principal, or 13% per day.

There is quite a lot I like about this program, but I also don’t like a number of things. And the first major criticism I have of ProInvestex is this: the investment plans are very badly explained. For example, it isn’t made clear how many sites you will need to surf per day if you join under one of the surfing plans. Granted the entire surfing process is automated so it’s not essential, but it could still be made a bit more clear. I let this pass on the grounds that I am joining this only as an HYIP and am not overly interested in the surfing side of things. That’s hardly an excuse, but on the other hand it’s still early days for ProInvestex so all that can easily be tidied up.

On the plus side though the plans themselves are good, being both realistic and profitable. If properly managed they could be sustained for a good number of months to come.

Otherwise the selection of payment options includes a very respectable list of processors with AlertPay, StrictPay, PerfectMoney, SolidTrustPay, and LibertyReserve all being accepted.

Some good groundwork has been done on the security side of things here too which is worth mentioning. From day one it’s on a dedicated server and the importance of that can never be over stated. In this case it’s hosted by Koddos, who I think are known by now to provide a decent level of service and protection from DdoS attacks.

The script is quite interesting too. It appears to be the very same custom made one recently used with some success by LloydFunds. And I have noticed, that it will not work for those who, like myself, prefer to use the Opera web browser. It works fine with other browsers though so I can’t help but wonder is there some flaw in the design that prevents it from being used in Opera? Otherwise there are some additional security features that I am very pleased to see. Including you getting the option of registering your IP address meaning that even if your username and password are compromised, hackers will still be unable to access your account. It can only be done from the computer you registered from. This option is not compulsory though, so those of you working from different locations (work, home, internet cafes, friends houses, or whatever) can continue to work as normal. It also rates the strength of your chosen password so as to encourage you not to make it too easy. Customer service and support is available in the form of a support ticket system in the members area.

Customer support is quite good by any standards and comes via first of all the usual e-mail ticketing system, then through the always welcome sight of Live Chat. And there is a telephone number listed as well, although I was unable to get through when I called it. But feel free to check it out for yourselves and post a comment if you have any success.

Overall I think there is enough here for ProInvestex to succeed. When it comes to surfing programs I have come to the conclusion that it is pretty pointless to review them based on merit, as most investors just don’t want to know about it no matter how well organized the thing is. But on the HYIP side, I think this is a decent enough prospect with plans that are as I said already sustainable for the admin and profitable for the members. Enough so to carry the entire project I think. As with anything these days involving surf plans I of course say to be cautious. But don’t be afraid. You can give ProInvestex a couple of weeks to establish themselves, but I’d be reasonably confident in their ability to do so. One to watch.

Other news for today.

Despite not publishing my news yesterday it seems there wasn’t a whole lot to report in the HYIP industry anyway. The programs that were paying are still paying and almost no updates were issued. Still, I’ve got a couple of things to tell you so I hope you’re not too disappointed by the lack of updates.

I guess we’ll start with SteadyGrowthInvest (reviewed here). It has been an excellent performer for the last two months paying promptly 105% after 2 days and 130% after 10 days. The combination of multiple payment processors and stable performances without any interruptions made this HYIP a popular choice among online investors. But the admin didn’t seem to stop there. Today the final stages of translating the site into two more languages, German and Russian, have been completed and you can see the fruits of that labor on SteadyGrowthInvest website. As a native Russian myself I can confirm that the translation into that language was made very professionally (don’t know about German though). Moreover, the support for the members of SteadyGrowthInvest is now also available in three languages with more to be added soon. This surely indicates the serious ambitions the admin has in making SteadyGrowthInvest a long lasting success so I decided to send him some questions for an interview. Hopefully I will receive the answers from him soon enough and publish on my blog. Meanwhile, this is the latest update from SteadyGrowthInvest program:
“We are glad to inform you that SGI is now finally available in two more languages – German and Russian. This also includes member support, so you may post support tickets in all the three languages available. Now SGI is better accessible to members from countries where English is not the native language. We also plan to add other languages including support and post detailed manuals on how to create an e-currency account for members not familiar with them. Lastly we have started to offer advertising on our main page, you can place a rotating 468×60 banner there. Follow the link at the bottom of the main page for more details.”

ExcellentProfit (reviewed here) issued another update informing us about the income percentage received by the program this last month. As these numbers are nothing more than just numbers until backed up by solid substantiated proof I can see no reason why we should believe them. The real indicator of the stable work of such a program is timely payments which so far it has to be said have been made by them:
“Dear Clients, This email signifies our company earnings for the month of June. Please contact ExcellentProfit support staff in case of any questions/queries. Foreign Exchange ArbitrageForex earnings for June is 38.23%. Sports Betting Arbitrage and/or Normal earnings for June is 36.72%. Total Revenue Earnings for June is 37.47%. For more support contact our support department. You can also contact our Live support department for a quick resolution.”

CoolReturn finally added PerfectMoney payment processor which is still extremely hard to exchange to LibertyReserve by the way. I wonder why it took the admin so long to add them (as you know it doesn’t require any verification so the account can be created in minutes) and ask myself when he’s going to add more serious e-currencies that will require verification from him as he promised in the previous update. Anyway, PerfectMoney is a good start although not the best choice IMHO for potential investors of CoolReturn program (reviewed here):
“We are pleased to announce that as promised in monthly newsletter we have added PerfectMoney as new payment option. Now you can deposit and withdraw funds using PerfectMoney.
Those who did not deposit anything yet, please contact us why you are so late in depositing funds. We would be pleased to assist and help you in making decision.”

I finally added GermanEinsteinTrust to my monitoring page. The admin supposedly wanted to move to England but after I requested a meeting to verify his company’s location he said that his move was postponed for some time and that now he’s living in Germany. Anyway, I will try to find out about them later but the program looks good to me and even offers daily reports on their success on the German stock exchange market. GermanEinsteinTrust offers not-fixed percentages for every plan with weekly and on expiry payouts. The first plan will pay you 40% of the profits received by the owners of the program so it will be anything between 1.2% and 4% on every business day for 15 business days (3 weeks). So your potential profit will be 118%-160% by the end of your investment term (minimum to invest is $15). The second plan runs for 30 business days (6 weeks) with $25 investment minimum offers 1.5%-5% daily returns which totals 145%-250% possible profit by the end of your investment term. The third plan with the highest minimum of $50 offers you 121%-170% possible profit in 10 business days (2 weeks) made to your account on expiry. Note that for the first two investment plans you will be paid only once per week – on Saturdays. That is why I’m planning to review GermanEinsteinTrust over the weekend, after I receive my first payment from them. The choice of payment processors accepted by GermanEinsteinTrust is pretty good and includes LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, Pecunix and StrictPay. Although there is no script involved and all the site seems to look a bit amateurish to me I would say that the concept behind it (trading in Germany) is quite new, it still requires further verification from investors. However if you treat the program purely as a game it could be a good pick for some time to come as it has been running for over three weeks now.

Here is the list of the programs monitored by me which paid me for the last 48 hours: Verifield, YesICanSurf, GeniusFunds, InvestiMates, OnisGroup, Veolex, CoolReturn, NovalexFinance, ElegantMoney, ExcellentProfit, PanaMoney, EnscoOffshore, SteadyGrowthInvest, NanoMoneyCorp, GoldNuggetInvest, Merchandies, AsianInvestGroup, ProInvestex, Treckswana and InvestmentForge. I’ll see you on my blog tomorrow and thanks for checking my blog out today!
