Hi, guys! I hope you’re all doing well and enjoying the weekend. It was just another hot and lazy Sunday here which didn’t allow me to get much work done, lol. So I’ll just get going today with some news from the industry.

It looks like the admin of GoldCollarInvest was pretty busy last week which prevented him from answering my interview questions before now. Well, it looks like it will be ready pretty soon and so it will be published on MNO straight after receiving the reply from the admin Bruce. Also it seems that the previous plans described in the review of GoldCollarInvest published here proved to be not so popular as the admin has made up his mind to introduce another shorter-term plan where you will be paid 1.5% for 7 calendar days. The plan is already active in your member’s area and you can deposit from as little as $10 (limited to a $500 maximum) via LibertyReserve or PerfectMoney. Your total profit for this plan will be 10.5% and your principal will be returned on the 8th day. In his latest newsletter Bruce also reminds us about how the weekly profit is calculated on the other three plans paying 8%-10% weekly with daily and weekly withdrawals allowed and asked to vote for the program on the official thread on the MNO forum located here. This is the latest news from GoldCollarInvest:

“Hello Folks,
Hope everyone having a good weekend so far. Its been a while since I sent out any newsletters and to be honest its been a very busy week. I hardly had anytime to focus on anything else besides our primary work and I know there is plenty of pending administrative chores including answering MNO’s interview. I suppose this weekend will be a great to set aside sometime to finish MNO’s interview.
On the brighter side, the efforts have paid off very well and profits have rolled in beautifully. So I guess I have very little to complain about and I look forward to a much better week ahead. I am glad to say that we have hired a new field expert, Stephen, who will be joining us on Monday. I look forward to a lot of excitement with the new inclusion.
We have reasons to celebrate at GCI this coming week as it is my wedding anniversary on July 19th and also to cheer for the excessive profits we have made so far. We will be including a limited edition plan in GCI for the season which will pay a daily profit of 1.5% per day for 7 days. There will be no weekend profit in this plan and you will receive your principal amount on the 8th day.(Total of 110.5%) There will be a 4% referral commission for this limited edition plan. The inclusion of this sweet and short plan will be done tomorrow. The minimum investment for this plan will be $10 and the maximum will be $500.
As we are at the end of the week, I just wanted to remind you all again about the weekend profit structure. You will not be receiving your daily profit of 1% – 1.4% during the weekend. Instead, you will be receiving a weekly profit of between 3% – 5% which will be credited to your account on Sunday at the same time you made your deposit.
We will add all the information about this limited edition plan in our website shortly.
Till the next update, here is Bruce wishing you all a great weekend and please don’t forget to add your votes and feedback at our official forum at MNO – http://money-news-online.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=281
Best Regards, Bruce”.

The admin of GroupUniversal (reviewed here) increased the minimum deposit for the 1.8%-2.2% for 150 business days plan from $10 to $50. I guess that was done due to his unwillingness to continue handling smaller amounts and accommodate smaller investors. Possibly the admin believes that after nearly three months of successful online payouts GroupUniversal has proved itself able to deliver some good results to investors. This is the announcement about the increased minimum which was made in the last short update from them:
“Hello to all GU members,
We have changed our minimum deposit amount to $50.
For Monitors: Please change GroupUniversal min investment to $50.
Best Regards.”

Just a few hours after my review of the new short-term promising program FinalEarn was published (read it here) the admin of the program Allen added two more payment processors – AlertPay and StrictPay. From now on you can make your deposits into two investment plans offered by the program (115% after 3 days and 140% after 7 days) via four e-currencies. Let’s hope that SolidTrustPay will be also added to FinalEarn soon as it’s not available yet despite the STP logo being featured on FinalEarn‘s site. This is the latest news from the admin who I’m hoping to get interviewed on MNO soon:
“Hello, review of FinalEarn has been published on MNO and you can see it here
http://money-news-online.com/blog/2010/07/16/16072010-finalearn-review-and-other-news/
Other News:
AlertPay and StrictPay has been added to our site and all FinalEarn members can invest with this payment processors.
Best Wishes for all FE Members.
Best Regards. Allen”.
And just right now when I was ready to publish my update for today I have received the answers to my interview questions so I hope to publish the interview on my blog by tomorrow. Stay tuned for that, guys!

Some cautious optimism was seen from the investors of PrivateDiamondClub (reviewed here) as the program’s website finally reappeared online earlier last night. Unfortunately the member’s area is not available yet so nobody could check their earnings or make withdrawals. In my opinion the program should have switched to another hosting provider and move to other servers since their own provider cannot provide them with a proper service. All these issues are really hurting the program’s reputation much and I think the admin of PrivateDiamondClub should make a decent attempt to gain members’ confidence again after what’s happening with the site. Here is what we can see on PrivateDiamondClub‘s site at the time of writing:
“Short update:
Dear members, our hosting provider changed our server without us knowing. We wrote an email and he will reinstall a zend optimizer. This was missing so our site had an script error. Without the zend optimizer the login and link connection is not working.
I am waiting for the reply. If I’ve no reply by tomorrow (Sunday) we need to change the script and host.
Regards, Lars”.

I just received another update from the admin of FxCrudeOil reminding that all payouts had been processed for today. FxCrudeOil has been paying for three months already on the following weekly plans: 10% for 15 weeks, 11% for 20 weeks, 12% for 30 weeks. All the popular payment processors have been accepted as well. More about the program can be read in my review here. This is the latest short update from FxCrudeOil:
“All pay out has been completed and enjoy weekend
Remember we have compounding option available and can fund wallet any amount from 1$
We have strong DDoS protection with SSL service.
Thank you. FxCrudeOil Admin”.

I have added another short-term program to my monitoring yesterday called UniteTrade. The rates of interest being offered include 120% after 7 days ($5 minimum) and 150% after 15 days ($100 minimum). Currently UniteTrade only accepts three payment processors: LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and StrictPay while the admin promised that AlertPay would be added in the near future. I don’t know if STP will be added as well but their banner is featured on the program’s main page as well as on the promotional banners. According to some monitors and forums UniteTrade has been running for over 100 (!) days now but I could hardly notice any discussion about that on forums. Anyway, I will ask the admin about that and will let you know his reply by the time the review is published on my blog. Anyway, if over 100 days online of UniteTrade is true it might attract more attention to the program as with such plans this type of lifetime is really rare in the industry. UniteTrade is running off a licensed GoldCoders script and is hosted on a dedicated Staminus server protected by DdoSWiz. More about the program will be published in my review of the program you will be able to read on MNO soon.

The second program added last night was SeatRonacs. At the first glance the layout looks good enough, however as one sharp-eyed reader rightfully pointed out the design was stolen from another site Saxobank.com. As you can the sites are totally identical in design and if I was to believe to what the admin said about it I could only feel sorry for him as he stated he paid $2,500 to a designer. Well, I think he should definitely demand his money back on that matter, lol. SeatRonacs was launched just a couple of days ago and it’s offering only one medium-term low-ROI plan with the principal returned on expiry. You can invest via LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney or AlertPay and be paid from 1% to 1.8% daily for the duration of 30 business days with the principal returned on expiry. For running his program the admin of SeatRonacs is utilizing a licensed GoldCoders script and the site is protected and secured by one of the market leaders – Dragonara. More will be in my upcoming review of the program published on MNO soon.

The latest poll that was on MNO for the last week is closed now and the results were quite interesting. I remind you that the question was: What factor is the most important for you when deciding to invest in an HYIP? The most popular option was “Feedback from other investors” which gained 31% of all the voters (19 votes). To see the feedback of other investors, especially more experienced ones you can utilize the public investment forums, for example MNO Forum. The second popular option was “The admin’s personality” with 21% (13 votes) and some hints can often be found in my introduction of the programs, sometimes in the reviews and more often in my Shoutbox. So don’t forget to check them all. “Wide choice of payment processors” would attract 16% of the investors (13 votes) while “Professional design” would be a decisive factor for 15% (9 votes). A relatively small percentage of investors never pay attention to any of those factors and just try their luck with the programs – the equal percentage of 15% (9 votes) was given to that option. And finally the less popular option which would attract only 2 persons (3% of those who took part in then voting) is “Security features”. I hope the investors and the admins of the programs alike will learn something from that and hopefully it was interesting for you.

For the this week I have another question that can be found in my right sidebar and will be available for the next 7 days with the results published next Sunday. The new poll was suggested to me by one of my readers and feature the types of programs investors prefer now. “What type of programs do you prefer?” The possible options are:
1) short-term programs (up to 15 days),
2) medium-term programs (15-45 days),
3) long-term programs (over 45 days).
I hope you will find this poll amusing and will help us see the general trend the investors like.

Here is the list of the programs that paid me for the last two days:
FinalEarn, Disalina, OnyxInvClub, ReProFinance, BookmakerOffice, OilStructure, GoldCollarInvest, HOX, YamaFinance, FluxRates, FundsOMatic, YesInvestment, RoyalPlaceInvest, GoldenInvestment, EzProfit, AvaInvestment, CherryShares, BullInvest, FxCrudeOil and SeatRonacs (the first payment received).

Check out my blog tomorrow for the interview with the admin of FinalEarn, another review and more news from the industry. See you then, guys!
