BEWARE! THIS PROGRAM IS PAYING SELECTIVELY! FURTHER INVESTMENTS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED!
Hi everyone! You may have noticed things are beginning to pick up again in the short to medium term HYIP market. After the usual couple of rough weeks that are almost customary by now for December, January seems to have brought a revival for them. I’m pleased enough to say that the few I have accepted for monitoring up to now have been of a high enough standard. I guess the better admins are a bit more clued in to the reality of the situation than most and have been holding their programs back in the planning stages before launching them now. BarterCrown is the latest such high quality program that I have added to my list and I don’t mind sticking my neck out here right from the start and saying I fully expect this one to run comfortably into the Spring. However when it comes to HYIPs like this I prefer not to look any further into the future than that.
So for now let’s stick with the facts about BarterCrown as they stand today. They offer quite a range of investment plans that stretch from the very short – just one day, to a much longer medium term of 45 days. All together there are six of them, so I’ll run through them all briefly here and let’s see if any of them appeal to you.
The first plan from BarterCrown is called the Barter A plan and as I just mentioned runs for just one single day. Consider it a test plan if you want to but considering how much you are allowed to invest you might actually do quite well from it. The total return will be 104% which of course includes your initial deposit. Deposits are between a minimum of $10 and a maximum of $30,000.
If you’ve given that one a try and prefer something a little better then there is the Barter B plan. $10 is still the minimum deposit. This plan runs for 4 days however and payment on expiry will be 114%, principal included, which isn’t at all bad for such a short time. Maximum deposit is still $30K.
The next two plans look a bit more like your typical conventional short term HYIP plans. Barter C runs for 7 days and will pay you 130% interest, including principal, on expiry. The minimum deposit takes a massive jump this time and is $110 but then so too does the interest payment. The maximum spend remains unchanged at $30,000.
And the last of the short term plans from BarterCrown, Barter D, will run for 10 days. The minimum investment is again $110 so again I admit it’s probably not for everybody, but if that is a bit much for you then remember the first two plans aren’t that bad in their own right and can be a fast way of building up your starting principal to join one of the bigger plans. Anyway, the payment here is once again made on expiry and will be 145% including your principal. Assuming you can afford the minimum spend I think we can agree that that is pretty substantial for just ten days.
So what about the longer more mid term plans? Well, they seem to be more aimed at the bigger more serious players. They’re not outrageously expensive but won’t be suitable for everyone. If you do join however the return will be worth it in the end. So to start with we have the Golden Plan. It will set you back a minimum of $250 so do think it over carefully. The reward is a generous 260% which includes your principal paid on expiry after 28 days. Needless to say nothing lasts forever so there are only going to be a finite number of complete cycles that this plan can complete. And while I stand by my opinion that BarterCrown can run for a couple of months at least you will still need to be acting on this soon enough if you want to make absolutely sure you can profit from it. The quicker you join the quicker you collect. And the less you need to worry as the expiry date draws closer. By the way, $30K is still the maximum spend.
And finally, the plan that wears the crown so to speak. The most expensive, the highest risk, the longest term, and of course the greatest reward can all be found here. It’s the regally titled Crown Plan and it will cost you a cool $500 to join. The maximum goes up to $50,000. If it’s successful it will be worth a massive 410% return, including your principal, after expiry on an investment term of 45 days. OK, that’s a big chance to take on any new and essentially unproven program. Again, that is a big big reward and won’t run forever, so if you do decide to take a chance on it then you need to do so not necessarily today or tomorrow but during a relatively early stage of the program’s life span.
I imagine your next question is what exactly defines “a relatively early stage” and of course nobody can answer that exactly. My point is that timing is essential in this business and in my experience the big rewards invariably go to those who act quickly and don’t sit around meditating about it until three weeks after the program closes! So if you want in, then get in. If not, don’t forget there are some perfectly viable and sustainable shorter term plans with less of a risk.
The payment options are fine for a typical online HYIP. Room for improvement but perfectly acceptable with LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, and StrictPay making up the list. Payments are not automatic so will need to be requested. Once you have made your request you will be required to allow 24 hours for it to be processed. Plans run for calendar days in all cases and payments are made seven days per week.
The security and design of the BarterCrown website is up to acceptable industry standards. A licensed script is provided by GoldCoders so it should at least lok familiar to most of you and they are hosted on a dedicated server with protection from DDoS attacks. The service provider here is DdoSLock, which may not be the most famous name in the business but they have done a reasonable job on the other sites I know of being hosted with them up until now.
The FAQ page is fairly generic though most of the information you will need can easily be found on the site anyway. There is nothing overly complicated about BarterCrown, which is kinda what I hope to see from a short term HYIP anyway. The plans for example, despite there being six of them, are all very straight forward and it’s probably more difficult to not understand them. If you do need any assistance however you can contact the admin by submitting a support ticket in the form provided. Discussion threads are open in the forums as well though the program is too new to say how active the admin will be there, if at all. Mind you I prefer it when admins make more effort in taking care of the proper support channels on their website first and worry about forums second.
All said BarterCrown is almost certainly the creation of a competent professional in this business. It’s just too good for a novice. The fact that he waited until January when it’s obviously been planned for so much longer might say enough, but there are other telling factors as well. Such as the professional design and the way the plans have been so well calculated and planned.
For anyone interested in such things BarterCrown claims “Our Program backed by Forex, Bonds & Stocks Trading with various Financial Institutions all over the world.” None of these financial institutions are named of course, nor is any evidence provided. So ignore that for now. Most new programs require you to go with a certain level of instinct anyway and fill in the facts later. So for now I’d say BarterCrown won’t run forever it will comfortably outlive the majority of similar style online HYIPs.
And as such I expect it’s going to be very hot soon and no doubt be a very popular pick amongst investors looking for a good short to mid term profit. Worth a few bucks as part of a balanced and diverse portfolio.
OTHER NEWS FOR TODAY.
First of all I would like to remind you that today the cashout button is enabled at the #3 rated site at Money-News-Online SazaInvestments (reviewed here). Please do not forget to request your 8%-10% weekly earnings and please remember do it to the same payment processor ID you have made your original deposit with. I was again quite pleased with a very fast payout processed to my STP account less than an hour after requesting it. SazaInvestments continues to be in the top performing programs since May 2009 and I hope it will continue for a long time. The interview with the admin of SazaInvestments Ricardo can be read on my blog here. And this is the weekly cashout reminder from him:
“It’s almost Friday so it’s payday again. Please don’t forget to request your withdrawals correct so that won’t be canceled. Thank you all for your trust in us. Regards, SazaInvestments Team”.
MandarinInvest added a very useful feature on their site. Being multilingual and apparently one of the most secure sites which allows you to make instant withdrawals on a daily basis to four payment processors (a very rare feature in HYIPs in itself) it’s now offering another useful tool which you can use to see all the offered plans in comparison with one click just by entering your deposited amount. I remind you that MandarinInvest offers you a test plan (with a $1 minimum) for 30 days paying you 1% interest per calendar day and the main plans (staring from $100) for 150 days with 1.3%-2.1% accrued interest also for every calendar day. Don’t forget that you will get your principal back on expiry as well. More about MandarinInvest can be read in my extensive review published here. And this is the latest news from the admin there:
“A long awaited tool is now finally available on our website! An investment calculator lets you evaluate what amount you will get after a deposit expires and compare the investment plans offered. You can find it on our plans description page.
Sincerely, MandarinInvest Team”.
The admin of SantiVentures (interviewed here) sent out an email which although has little to do with the program itself teaches new investors the basics of how to make your computer safe and not fall victim of the scammers. Here are some tips from SantiVentures that will hopefully help you differentiate honest emails from spam and phishing ones:
“SantiVentures is informing you that over the last days we encountered a number of phishing attempts of stealing personal and payment details.
LibertyReserve Phishing Email
The most commonly used type of a fake email. This time it notifies you about the alleged incoming transfer sent to your account but the only way to receive it is to verify your identity on a phishing server. Remember that payment processors never ask you to verify your identity or perform other actions unless you initiated it.
Autoresponder Phishing
Remember that SantiVentures support system never uses autoresponders! We do not require anyone to verify his email to be added into our white email list.
If you received an alleged autoresponder’s email double check if the sender’s email is the same used by autoresponder. If an autoresponder’s request was not automatically sent out to you there is a high risk this is a phishing attempt to steal your credentials, beware!
Career/Job Offers
You might be offered a well paid position in a big company with training and probation just in exchange for your CV and a scanned passport copy. Never accept any of the similar looking offers. Note that SantiVentures never sends career proposals or job offers asking for your personal information.
We strongly hope these tips will help you stay safe online.
Best regards, Info department. SantiVentures”.
ArbisPro (reviewed here) notified everybody that the payouts had been completed with the exception of several payments to STP which marked as Paid but in fact which were not processed. If it’s your case you should contact the admin of ArbisPro with your payment ID and the amount owed. I just wanted to add that I received another 10% weekly payment on Tuesday which I forgot to report on my blog and that so far the payments were quite fast. Anyway, here is the latest update from ArbisPro:
“This is to inform you that all withdrawal request has been fulfilled except for some few accounts with wrong payment id’s and also some which we made some minor error on our part. Some few STP withdrawal request where set as paid whereas they have not been paid. This is an error on our and we wish to correct this immediately. If you are affected, kindly send details of your payment id and amount set as paid. Your account will be credited immediately.
Best Regard. Andrea Beck. ArbisPro Admin”.
You might have noticed that Eternidex created a great new feature recently called “autowithdrawals”. Once you are logged into your Eternidex account you don’t have to make a withdrawal request at all as the money is transferred to your LibertyReserve or PerfectMoney accounts straight away. Well, this feature has been switched off for now until the admin improves the withdrawal system which will be suitable and convenient for all the members. There were a couple of updates from Eternidex (reviewed here) today. The first one was about the maintenance work on the script, and the second one – in regards to the autowithdrawals feature. Here is the both of them:
“Dear Investors, We are upgrading our scripts at the moment. Withdrawals system will also be affected, so we have to switch autowithdrawals off for that period. All requests will be processed on time.
Best Regards, Matthew Thomson”.
“Dear Investors, I’m pleased to announce that all planned work is done. All operations are processing in normal mode. You can make deposits and withdrawals without having any problems.
There is another good news for today. As you remember, we introduced autowithdrawals on 2010-01-08. Most of members like it, but there is a group of investors, who don’t. We decided to make a special system, which will satisfy everybody. It takes some time to set it up and meanwhile autowithdrawals will be switched off. Don’t worry, all requests will be processed quickly.
Best Regards, Matthew Thomson”.
InstantMoneyBets (reviewed here) announced yet another referral contest that will reward the promoters of the program even more. Although due to their poor English I could barely understand what bonuses you will get for referring others to InstantMoneyBets I will just let you read what the admin has to say about it and decipher it for yourself:
“Today will we start a new Contest for our Members.
Refer the abnormally Deposit. This Contest will run until 1300 Members.
Smallest Deposit:
You can refer the smallest Deposit like 10$ and you will get extra 10% Referral bonus and your referred member will also get an 10% Bonus on his deposit.
Abnormally Deposit:
Or you can refer the abnormally Deposit like 999.99 USD so you will get 15% extra Referral Bonus and your referred member will get also an 10% Bonus on his deposit.
Highest Deposit:
Or you can refer the highest Deposit, so you will get 18% extra Referral Bonus and your referred member will get 12% deposit Bonus.
Have fun with this new contest. Michael and Staff”.
There were a few members of GouldsInvest (reviewed here) getting a bit concerned when it went offline late last night. For over 12 hours of downtime the admin never stopped communicating with the members and was always available on the MMG forum. Their hosting provider though never bothered to reply to Marco’s emails that’s why he had to move to another server. It seems that the transition was fast enough and at the moment the site is online for me. The next 20% payment that was requested today was paid very fast as well. I remind you that GouldsInvest has been online for about a month already paying investors 20% every 6 days and this is quite an achievement in my book. You can read more about the program by checking out my review here. This is what Marco had to say to its membership after the site came back online today:
“Dear GI Joe’s and Jane’s, Hallelujah!
This is just to inform all of you that GouldsInvest is back online now.
You may now make withdrawal request for your deposits.
Cheers, Marco”.
GoldenFleeceFund (reviewed here) is getting rid of their gold storage to buy a stake in a gold mine. That would be great if they could disclose what mine exactly they are talking about otherwise it’s just a nice story for me. Anyway, maybe this info will be disclosed to their VIP clients who are ready to spend over $3,500 in any of the investment plans offered by GoldenFleeceFund just to receive some perks like personalized phone support (which is not available yet). Anyway, perhaps the premium membership in GoldenFleeceFund is really worth it but I suggest not to forget about the risks involved in investing in any online HYIP either. Here is the latest newsletter from the admin, Felix:
“To GoldenFleeceFund Members: GoldenFleeceFund has made the decision to sell 400oz of gold for the purpose of increasing our equity stake in a gold producing mine from 4% to 6%. As part of our dedication to protecting investor funds and guaranteeing investors their profits, we have sold 400oz of gold from storage to help finance our increased equity purchase.
GoldenFleeceFund will be finalizing our payment agreements for the increased equity purchase over the next 7 days in closed meetings. A press release outlining our increased equity position will be released at a later date.
In other news, we have inducted three additional members into our VIP concierge program. VIP members are investors depositing at least $3501 (Level 3 and 4 accounts). You will receive your welcome to VIP concierge email within 24 hours along with your instant withdraw $150 posted to your account. If you are not aware yet of our VIP program and services that go with it, please take a look at this news article for more information: http://goldenfleecefund.com/?a=news#16
As always, we thank you for your continued support of our company. We have reached new heights and achieved many goals since October’s opening to public investment. 2010 looks bright!
Sincerely, Felix Zeller. GoldenFleeceFund Manager”.
One of the longest running short-term HYIPs RosalinFinance (reviewed here) seems to be really concerned about their recent hacking incidents. I believe that lead them to the decision to change their hosting provider from the not so popular DdosLock to the best hosting provider for HYIPs BlockDos. I believe that if they look for the highest level of security there is just no better solution than BlockDos (MNO is also on BlockDos and I can confirm that their level of support is just top-notch). Anyway, hopefully the transition to the new servers is going to be completed within the next few days and after that we will see RosalinFinance more secure than before. I remind you that you can read more about RosalinFinance in my interview published here. The program has several plans on offer that will suit to an investor with every budget:103% in 1 day, 107% in 2 days, 111% in 3 days, 115% in 4 days, 128% in 7 days, 150% in 12 days, 160% in 15 days, 175% in 18 days, 320% in 30 days and 460% in 49 days. Remember that on all the plans you will be paid on expiry so make a reasonable choice for your investment and remember the risks involved. Here is the latest update from RosalinFinance:
“Hello to all members, We want change our server to BlockDos in about 1-2 days.
With this change we want to make the best security for RosalinFinance and members.
Remaining job is depended in your security.
All of you know that BlockDos is one of the best hosting providers.
Please check your accounts and make sure that all your information data are ok.
Best Regards. RosalinFinance.”
It seems that the same thing is also happening to Caziroca program (reviewed here). As you know the programs are quite similar and possibly even from the same administration team. Caziroca also has reported some hacking incidents recently so it was decided to move them to BlockDos as well. Here is the short announcement regarding this made by Caziroca‘s admin:
“Regarding to our members request we are migrating Caziroca on BlockDos servers.”
By the way, I joined another extremely promising program that is just launched a few days ago and is also hosted and protected by BlockDos. It’s called WaterInvestment and it’s definitely destined to be huge. Look at the site for yourself: it has a very attractive design, registration in the Bahamas (though yet to be verified), SSL-secured and is offering very reasonable and sustainable weekly plans. So depending on how much you’re going to invest in WaterInvestment your account is going to be credited with a withdrawable amount of 10%-14% of your investment (depending on its amount) every Monday for 20 weeks after which the principal can be withdrawn as well. Moreover, to get better results you can compound your interest by setting the rate of your choice and then it will be added to your principal so on the next week you will get an opportunity to receive even higher interest. The minimum to deposit in WaterInvestment is only $15 and you can make your investment via LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney processors only. Remember that WaterInvestment will accept deposits in both dollars and euros so it can be quite handy for some European investors. Just in case you might be wondering why it’s called WaterInvestment by the way, it’s because the admin claims to be investing in the research of clean water which is slowly but surely becoming a scarce and valuable asset in many corners of the globe. Of course, we can’t verify such claims but at least it sounds more original than all those Forex and sport betting tales which are already starting to wear a bit thin. Anyway, I will have a proper more extensive review of this definitely interesting program once I receive the first payout from it. So stay tuned for that – it might be entertaining!
The second program I want to introduce to you today is more traditional short – to mid-term program called IwFunds. This time I have no idea why the program was given such a name but I know for sure that the plans are quite attractive for HYIP players. Taking into consideration that IwFunds is only three days old it’s not so late to join and invest now. There are four plans on offer in IwFunds and three of them pay you on expiry: 110% after 3 days, 160% after 14 days and 190% after 20 days. My plan of choice however is the daily plan offering 18% daily payouts for a period of 7 days. The principal is already factored in this rate so you will be getting 126% in total after 7 days. I’m going to explain why this plan is better than the others in my upcoming review. The payment processors accepted are LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and AlertPay and the minimum amounts to deposit vary from $5 to $15 depending on the chosen plan. Now I would just like to mention that IwFunds is a very secure site running on a licensed GoldeCoders script, has a full SSL-certificate installed and is hosted on a dedicated Staminus server with DdosWiz protection who are known as a reliable provider in this field. The design of the site is made by WebLineAlliance and it is also quite nice and attractive. More about the program can be read in the upcoming review that is going to be published on MNO after the first payment is received.
By the way, the admin of IwFunds Peter just announced about those latest security measures installed and about the advertising he bought to make IwFunds more noticeable in this highly competitive field of short-term investment programs:
“Hi there! I just want to share with you some of our latest news:
1. The most important thing that from today we are having a fully functional Positive SSL certificate provided by COMODO, so once you sign in to your account your connection is fully securized to prevent, phishing attempts! You are automatically redirected to SSL connection!
2. We bought a lot of banner spaces in various forums and monitors including TalkGold 468*60 banner, in the near future there will be added more and more banners in hyip related sites!
Have a nice stay. Peter”.
I have been paid today from many programs listed on my monitoring page including the following: SazaInvestments, RichAliens, BarterCrown, XagaEnterprise, FxStar, IdealInv, Vegamex, PanaMoney, TradeZoom, SantiVentures, Infinitum, NanoMoneyCorp, Caziroca, AsiaInv, AtoxFinance, StarkFund, WeeklyDividend, Verifield, GeniusFunds, RefMotor, MandarinInvest, IncoForex, HugMoney, PTVPartner, RosalinFinance, Flanita, CedexInvest, BetAndTrading, CSMFinance, FinanceNova, StanbicArbitrage, WestFinance, GlobaFund, GouldsInvest, GoldenFleeceFund, KobelCapital, TheKapital, OneDailyPro, MoneyPlus, InstantMoneyBets, InvestJoy, SportBetInv and EzProfit (the first payment received).
To finish for today I would like to mention that MNO is becoming ever more popular and now reached the top 26,000 mark in Alexa rating. Better again is that MNO is now in the top 10,500 in the US. It’s becoming more popular and as a result of that that I am being contacted by more and more program admins on a daily basis. Please rest assured that only the best and most promising programs will be reviewed by MNO so sorry for those who were rejected listing for one reason or another. I can only review 7 programs maximum per week so I would like to pick only the best for my readers. Also please note that all the banners for the month of January are sold out on both blog and monitoring pages and unfortunately I can’t satisfy the growing demand from the MNO advertisers. Actually there are many requests now being made for February already as MNO is definitely the most popular investment blog and the most lucrative advertising platform for all investment programs.
And the simple reason for that is that MNO delivers the best advertising results in the Industry which can surely be confirmed by many program admins. That reputation was earned by day-by-day work in delivering you the most up-to-days news and unbiased reviews from the HYIP industry. But don’t take my word for it. This has now been confirmed by independent public voting on the e-Commerce-Journal website where MNO scored 78% in their end of year poll on the best source of information in the industry, leaving all other blogs far behind. I appreciate your voting for my blog and promise to become an even better source of information in 2010. You have probably noticed some changes in my blog’s theme which is going to be further improved on with time. More news will follow soon and I would just like to thank all my readers for choosing MNO as their reliable choice of daily information from the HYIP industry, delivering the daily news and monitoring since 2007. Stay tuned and stay with MNO in 2010! See you on my blog tomorrow!
