Hi everybody! Sorry for not doing a news update with yesterday’s interview but I was taking a rest and I hope you understand. Anyway, let’s make up for it today and start with a great update from GoldNuggetInvest program (reviewed here). Finally the website is back online and all pending payments were processed yesterday (as you know today is Sunday so no payments will be processed today). I hope that all the appropriate measures have been taken by the administration of GoldNuggetInvest to ensure this will not happen again. I know that everything is working fine now and I can login and withdraw successfully. The latest update regarding all these unfortunate events and the happy outcome has been published on GoldNuggetInvest site:

“We’d like to express our apologies first, for all the inconvenience you have faced with GNI during the last couple of days! Our website was intruded by a vicious individual, who tried to blackmail us for about $35,000. Since we would never give such extortionists even a nickel, we decided to reinstall our server from scratch. Everything has been done to ensure that you will have a pleasant experience with GNI in the future as you had in the past. This was not the first attack of YOUR project GNI, which is fully dedicated to YOU, our trusted members – and it might not be the last attack we might face. But it was the worst one so far! Our site is online again and we would like to express our warmest gratitude to our members, their patience, their support and the encouraging mails we have received over the last couple of days.
You all make this project GNI working and together with you we will be strong and do not allow anybody to destroy or project.
Thank you all!”

BestInv program (reviewed here) seems to be going quite well. Some hours ago I received another update from the admin of the program Olivia (interviewed here) and a very pleasant surprise was awaiting me when the admin announced that I was the winner of both her recent contests. Well, I have no problem in promoting such a great program like BestInv that pays 120% after 5 days, 145% after 10 days and 175% after 15 days and accepts all the popular payment processors. Many investors have already taken advantage of this offer as BestInv provides top-notch support and fast payments. The current membership level has reached over 2,600 investors today after being just 17 days online. It’s a huge success and hopefully BestInv will continue to pay for a long time. Here is the offcial update from the admin:
“Dear Members, It gives me immense please to declare the winners of 2 contests that ended on 24th July’09.
But before that I must tell you that our program is gaining popularity like wild fire, hungrily spreading to all corners of the globe.
People intend to refrain from the HYIP industry cos of it being a HYPE. But I can assure you of one thing, that our intention is PURELY and TRULY to help people grow their money. We are not here on a world rescue mission, but our small endeavor will give a a ray of hope to those you ACTUALLY want to make some money online.
We work on a simple yet strong concept. We have EXPERT traders who are trading with one motive and that’s PROFIT. Our profits are good and thats what we share with our members. Question is CAN WE EVER SUFFER LOSSES on a trading day, answer is yes, but for that we have a backup fund of $100,000 to take care of.
Like I said, our program is based on a strong platform. Those who doubt us do not have to invest with us. We are not here to brain wash you or rob you off your finances. We are here to perhaps show you a way to grow your funds in the long run. Is 175% a lot in 15 days, the answer is Yes, but at the same time we make sure that we make a profit that is more than 175% in 15 days, and guess what, we are doing it. Where there is a will…..there is a way.
Logic is simple, we think positive and we are at profit, that’s how we have developed our mindset.
There are several monitors, polls & forums out there where you will come across good and bad exchanges and discussions, they are all important but at the same time I request to go by your instincts and do what your intent tells you to do.
YOU NEED TO GROW YOUR MONEY…..YOU CAN TRUST US. I wont repeat this, cos that will be taking off the gravity from the statement.
Ok, enough of professing…… now let me announce the winners.
Lucky winners for For 30 Active Referral Contest are :
1) moneynews – $100 2) richptc – $100 3) Sarah – $100
Lucky winners for 10 special plan referral are:

Sky is not the limit friends, more contests are lined up for the near future.
Take care, Olivia, BestInv“.

DirectResult program (reviewed here) announced a sweet bonus of 10% on all investments made on Saturday and Sunday. So if you were considering joining DirectResult the best time to do so would be now now. Here is the update regarding this:
“Any investment of $10 or above made between now and Sunday the 26th of July will be credited with 10% of the investment amount. This means that if you invest $10, your investment will be increased to $11. If you invest $100, your investment will be increased to $110. You can invest any amount and in any of the plans. Multiple investments also allowed.
Note that we will manually increase the investment, so allow up to 30 minutes for the increment to be made to your account. And please note that the offer is between now, when you receive this newsletter, and Sunday the 26th of July. Any investments made prior to this time is not included in this offer.

If you have any questions, Linda will be available to respond to your chat or Swiss phone voice messages. Gerry is presently handling the fax and US voice messages.
We wish you a wonderful weekend.”

More news from DirectResult. It seems they were blackmailed (as happens many other HYI programs) and as a result of this you can see a number of “not paid” posts on forums and monitoring sites. Please ignore them as or at least look at them critically and always consult the status of the program on good monitoring pages like MNO blog. Here is the latest email I got from the admin of DirectResult program:
“Please take note that DirectResult is presently being blackmailed by some scammers. We will never yield to the demands of blackmailers as that will only give them power to keep blackmailing.
We are writing to inform you of this and to point to you the correspondence we’ve had with this blackmailer.
The blackmail has been published here.
On request, the email received from the blackmailer will be forwarded to you.
DirectResult is a long-term project. This dream and aim will never be thwarted by blackmailers.
Regards and have a nice weekend.”

GermanEinsteinTrust (reviewed here) processed all the weekly payouts yesterday and sent another newsletter to the members. By the way, I remind you that one of the sites of GermanEinsteinTrust might be not accessible for some of you so please use the link with .net extension. The newsletter is quite interesting and contains the link to another weekly update. So check that as well:
“Dear Members, the GermanEinsteinTrust is glad that from Monday our new Daily Stock Advisory Newsletter starts!
Our daily stock advisory newsletter is emailed to each member every evening by 11:00 pm (On Business days). My father Holgar scans the market each day morning to evening, and knows later the hottest stocks on the move for the next day. He even updates you the following day before we sell the stock! You get two day breakout plays, gap plays and weak stocks that are looking to breakdown and sell off. Under any market conditions we find winning plays daily. So we always tell you in the evening what we are going to buy the next day for our online Platform! As some members complained they have no PDF reader we simply send the newsletter via Email! The price is US$99 monthly. So you will know today what non Newsletter members see tomorrow on our new and more page!
For more Info see: http://german-einstein-trust.net/1newsletter.htm“.

RoxiTrade (reviewed here) announced this week’s trading results and are in profit. What else would they say? Of course, we know it’s not a real company but this doesn’t mean they are not trading at all either. As you know anybody can trade on stocks and Forex markets but that doesn’t mean you will be in profit all the time. Hopefully RoxiTrade will stay in profit from whatever they do with their members’ funds. Here is the latest update regarding this published on RoxiTrade‘s site:
“This week trading session is now closed. The result was around 185 pips profit. There was some major market index release which moved market.”

Let’s now move on to some less positive news. If you’re still waiting for some encouraging news about NovalexFinance you can forget about it. It seems big payouts to StrictPay now stopped so some of the members contacted the administration of this payment processor to find out what was happening with Novalex’s StrictPay account. So it seems that the small payouts are still being processed however they haven’t made any deposits to this account yet so when the money runs out the payouts will stop completely as well. This is very bad news and so I don’t expect them to come back to normal on Monday like Novalex’s support said they would. Here is the reply from StrictPay one of my readers received recently:
“You will need to talk with them about any payment issues. They have made payments as recent as today, but unless they make a deposit with us very soon, they will not have funds left to make payments.”

It appears I was too fast in announcing AsianInvestGroup (reviewed here) to be back on track. Shortly after returning online on Friday they processied all the pending payouts but then disappeared again. It’s still not accessible at the moment. The worst thing is there is still no official update from the administrator of AsianInvestGroup. I doubt it was their original intention to vanish into the thin air so soon as all the payouts had been processed during the last uptime. But such lengthy downtimes can definitely affect the program’s performance and shake the investor’s confidence in their abilities to run things properly. Anyway, I hope we will hear from the admin of AsianInvestGroup soon. I’ll give him another 24 hours before putting the program to Waiting status on my monitoring page.

I have to move two more programs to Problem status on my monitoring page due to no payouts processed within the last two days. They are Merchandies and NeqxGroup. I have already contacted the admins of both programs for an explanation but until I get it please don’t invest in either of them. Again I repeat Merchandies and NeqxGroup are both on Waiting status now.

Here is the list of programs that paid me during the last 48 hours: InvestiMates, RegalProfit, BestInv, OnisGroup, GoldNuggetInvest, EnscoOffshore, ElegantMoney, SteadyGrowthInvest, GermanEinsteinTrust, DirectResult, ExcellentProfit, GeniusFunds, AssetsParty, NanoMoneyCorp, Verifield, 12DailyClicks, GlobalTraderGroup, CoolReturn, SolidCapital and XagaEnterprise. By the way, tomorrow check out my blog again for the new updated review of XagaEnterprise which is back online after a few weeks downtime.

Payment processor news.

Let’s start the payment processor news section with an update from LibertyReserve. They recently announced the winners of their survey which will hopefully help them improve their services soon. Here is the update published on the official blog of LibertyReserve:

SolidTrustPay updated their Live chat section and now every time you see their status as Online you will be able to get answers to your queries in real time. Before that I noticed that sometimes even Online status didn’t guarantee you will be able to chat in real time. Here is the short notice from their official blog regarding this:
“SolidTrustPay is pleased to announce major updates to its Live Chat module.
Get answers in real time whenever you see the Live Chat ONLINE option!!”

In other news SolidTrustPay just became a proud sponsor of what I hope you’ll agree is a very worthy charity event in Canada which they’ve announced in their news section as well. Here is the update:
“SolidTrustPay is proud to be a sponsor for the upcoming CCAAE Deringer charity golf event in Markham, Ontario on Friday August 14, 2009.
What We Do and Who We Help:
CCAA offers a full and comprehensive array of program services to address the needs of both child and adult victims of abuse. Our programs give hope to abuse victims whose tragic circumstances and terror-filled lives have left them feeling helpless with nowhere to turn. The Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness is a national non-profit, non-government, charitable organization dedicated to eliminating child abuse through advocacy, education, public awareness and prevention programs. They provide accessible support, healing and empowerment for children and adult survivors, their families, and caregivers through community and corporate partnerships. CCAA supports over 100 grass roots agencies that deal with children, women and men whose lives have been affected by abuse.”

Another Canadian payment processor AlertPay also updates their official blog on a regular basis. Their latest update informs us of the improvements on the checkout process for online shopping:
“Hello AlertPay members, We have some good news to share with all of you. Once again, the team has been working very diligently on further improving our services for you. Keep reading!
Checkout just got easier!
One of our main priorities is making online shopping as simple and secure as possible, so we are happy to announce that our checkout process is more streamlined and user-friendly. If you have ever used our quick and easy Send Money feature, then you will love our new checkout process since it is almost identical.
Now you can choose your source of funds on the very first page when making a payment through a seller’s website. Since we have eliminated an entire step, you can make your purchase in no time at all.
Also, non-members can make up to three credit card purchases through our services without having to login or validate their email. Please note that after the third purchase, non-members will have to validate their email address – which only takes a few minutes.
We hope that you enjoy the benefits of our new and improved checkout process and that your customer experience is a positive one!”

Ok, that’s it for today and I will see you all on my blog tomorrow! Enjoy what’s left of your weekend and remember, with Money-News-Online you’re always on the money!
