28/06/2011. Daily News from the Industry

Hi everyone! Well it’s only Tuesday and already I think it it’s shaping up to be even busier than last week already with the amount of news updates I have to get through today. Not a bad sign for what’s supposedly a quiet time of the year for the HYIP industry. Let’s start the news for today with the much anticipated update from the admin of EarnGroups Christian the interview with whom was posted on MNO last night and had a lot of interest from readers (to read the interview please click here). Immediately after publishing the interview members of EarnGroups received a newsletter announcing the new features which the admin had just explained on MNO and which were introduced to the program just recently.

It starts with the layout which was totally revamped and should now attract new investors who pay more attention to how a quality HYIP should look in their opinion. EarnGroups has been running for over 400 days now and currently offers terms of 120% after 7 days and 145% after 14 days accepted via AlertPay, LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney and making instant payouts. By the way, as you know instant payouts usually require some layer of extra security to be on the safe side and that’s why it was so important for the admin to install a proper SSL connection for transactions. In general security issues were one of the main topics of the most recent newsletter from Christian who kindly shared some hugely important tips and tricks in maintaining the security of your account. Such tips include using a different password and different security question and answer than you might use in other HYIPs. Because if an admin knows your password in one program they can just take a lucky guess and use the same info for another one and make off with all your money. An important security issue not necessarily connected with EarnGroups itself but with any program would be creating an API in your LibertyReserve account just to find put later that your account was emptied by some bad-minded HYIP admins. These tips are mostly common sense of course but could save you a lot of money (and your nerves!) when dealing with online HYIPs, therefore please read this newsletter to the end.

Another important topic and the addition to the site of EarnGroups would be the creation and recent opening of their own discussion board where you can put your questions to the support team and share your experience with the program which will hopefully be mostly positive including the payout reports and the results of your promotional efforts in making EarnGroups more popular among the online HYIP community. Below you will find the full version of the newsletter sent from EarnGroups yesterday (the program was originally reviewed on MNO here):
“EarnGroups Reborn!
Hi Members,
We are glad to announce that we have made some major improvements from our website, both in terms of security and technical aspects. Please read this newsletter very carefully, as it contains some major security advices, other than the major improvements we have made for our program.
First of all, I am excited to let you know that, Paul of Money-News-Online.com, has published the interview session I had with him, in his blog. I would like to remind you that, Money-News-Online.com is a best blog in this industry, where you can get the latest updates of different programs. We recommend everyone to read the interview session, which can be found here: http://money-news-online.com/blog/2011/06/27/27062011-interview-with-the-admin-of-earngroups/
I hope that I have answered all the questions there, up to the level of your expectations, and if you feel that you need more clarifications, you are more than welcome to contact our Customer Support department.
As most of you have already noticed, we have made major improvement in the design of our website. We have changed our design to a more professional and attractive one. You can also see that Members Area have been updated with much more features. We have also designed brand new attractive banners for our website, which you can use to promote our website, and get referrals.
We have also launched our official forum, under the name, “EarnGroups Official Community”. The link to the community is https://earngroups.com/community Please read the rules of the community before you register. You will be able to start posting, and see and read the topics (except for the Rules and FAQs) only after you register in the forum as an official member. Please note that, you will have to have a separate username in the forum to be able to login. If you are a member of EarnGroups investment website, but have not registered at the forum separately, then you will not be able to log in to the forum with your EarnGroups account username.
Member registrations to our official community are open now, and cordially invite every member of EarnGroups to register at our official community, and start posting your payment proofs and make friends with the other co-members. Our moderating team will be happy to assist you in your needs.
You may register at our official community here: https://earngroups.com/community/index.php?app=core&module=global&section=register
As far as the security aspect is concerned, we have successfully installed the SECURE SOCKETS LAYER (SSL) feature. What does this mean to you? This means that from now on, all connections established from your browser to our web server, and vice versa, will be completely encrypted, which in other words mean that, all money transactions that are made via our website will be done with the highest security standards, and cannot be intercepted by any third parties.
The SSL certificate is issued by the famous SSL certificate provider, Thawte Inc. From now on, all http:// entires will be redirected to the much more secure and 256-bit encrypted https:// connection. This will establish a safe, secure, and encrypted connection to our website, and keep yourself protected from the prying eye of any third parties, all connections made between your web browser and our web server, will use the highly encrypted 256-bit secure link, https://earngroups.com, by default.
Speaking of another security matter, it has come to our attention that the administration which runs some other online investment program, is using the passwords of those users who registered accounts in their program, to gain unauthorized access to the accounts of the same users who have registered accounts in EarnGroups with the same password. Please be advised that, we cannot be held responsible for such issues, as this matter is strictly owing to the negligence on the part of the user.
In order to prevent any such unauthorized access to your EarnGroups by any other third parties, we strongly recommend you to use a totally new and different password for your EarnGroups. A strong combination of letters, symbols, and number, which you have never used before will best suit. In addition, we strongly discourage you from giving out your EarnGroups password to anyone else. Your EarnGroups password should be known only to you.
If you would like to change your account password, please log in to your account, and do the same.
Also, if you have used the password associated with your email address to register ANY investment program account, we strongly advise you to change the password of your email at the earliest. This is because, the administration behind certain programs, if they happen to be ill-minded, will come to know the password of your email, as it is the same you used to register your account in that program, and consequently they can gain unauthorized access to your email address, and learn the important information and data you may have in your email.
So, for your own safety, we would like to advise you that, if you have used the password of your email to register any account anywhere, you should change the password of your email to a new and secure one as soon as possible.
In addition to the above, if you have provided the same secret question and secret answer which you have used somewhere else, during your EarnGroups account registration, we advise you to change those too. However, please note that you will not be able to do the same by yourself, and for that, you will have to contact us. In order to change your secret question and secret answer, you will have to send us your username, existing secret question and secret answer, along with the new secret question and secret answer, and we will make the required changes.
One of the recent tactics, that the ill-minded people use to gain access of the Liberty Reserve account of the victim, and hack funds in it, is through the Automatic Payment Interface (API) method. You may receive spoof emails from individuals claiming themselves to be officials of Liberty Reserve, asking you to enable the API feature in your Liberty Reserve account to receive prize money or something like that.
Most usually, it is the ill-minded administrators themselves of certain program who instruct you to do this, stating that you will have to do it if you have to receive your payment. We would like to warn you in advance that, you should not by any chance enable the API feature in your Liberty Reserve account, and there is no need to enable it to receive payments from any program. If you enable the API feature in your Liberty Reserve account, there is a very high probability that your Liberty Reserve may get hacked by the people who ask you to enable it.
Needless to say, we will never ask our members to enable the API feature in their Liberty Reserve accounts. So please ignore any such emails which ask you to do so.
We would also like to point out that, the management of EarnGroups will never ask you to send us any of your passwords. So if you, by any chance, receive emails from someone asking to reveal your EarnGroups account password, or any other password, please disregard such emails at once.
We hope you enjoy the new improvements of EarnGroups. Have a nice day, and we wish you a pleasant stay with us.
Best Regards, Christian
EarnGroups.”

The main topic for the latest newsletter from PrimFix (reviewed here) was the program’s growth and aggressive promotion the admin is applying to make the program bigger every single day. But the growth of any program would not be possible without improvements in quality as well as constant development. I’m glad that the admin of PrimFix Derek (you can read my interview with him here) perfectly realizes this fact and therefore put a lot of time and effort in improving his program in every possible way. The most anticipated feature in PrimFix called Betting Platform where the members of the program would be able to make the bets on sports events themselves and get the profits in case they are successful in their predictions or get the money placed on the lost event credited to their plan of choice in PrimFix are being delayed as it was more difficult to implement it on the site than it was originally thought and would take more time to do it. I bet that once being implemented the system will increase the interest to the program which has been monitored on MNO for over 80 days already having reached almost 4000 members already since the moment of its interception. I remind you that PrimFix is offering profits on the investments made via LibertyReserve, AlertPay, SolidTrustPay and PerfectMoney starting from $10. By joining PrimFix you get an opportunity to earn 120% after 15 days, 160% after 30 days or 210% after 45 days depending on the plan you choose. By the way, according to the admin the promised option of Bank wires will not be added but instead the program will be accepting Bank wires indirectly via AlertPay’s interface as accounts there can be funded with Bank wires among other methods. In my opinion, this is as good as not accepting Bank wires at all because in the same way you can directly fund your account in SolidTrustPay and also indirectly (via a chain of official exchangers) via LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and GlobalDigitalPay). Despite some drawbacks PrimFix remains a very decent program processing all the withdrawals fast enough and according to the admin it’s still in the early stages of development with further growth inevitable. Of course even with all the talk about PrimFix‘s alleged sports arbitrage activities you should treat it as a regular HYIP and only invest what you can afford to lose. The future of the program will depend largely on the amount of support shown by investors but so far I can see great prospects for them provided the admin stays focused on making his program one of the most successful online. Here is the latest newsletter from PrimFix in full:
“Amazing growth and more news from PrimFix
Dear members,
First of all, we would like to thank you for the support you’ve been giving PrimFix. We are very happy to read what you’re saying about us on forums, blogs and Facebook, please keep up the great work!
Our growth rate has been outstanding, over 2000 new members joined us since our last newsletter, which means we have almost 4000 registered members at the moment. We partnered with several advertisers during the past three weeks and our site keeps receiving more and more views every day, you can see this by checking our Alexa chart http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?&w=400&h=220&o=f&c=1&y=t&b=ffffff&n=666666&r=3m&u=primfix.com .
We won’t stop working on new promotional tools to help you promote PrimFix! We are still looking for more regional blogs and forums on the Internet to promote our site, as we have had great success with it so far. So if you can, please share PrimFix with your local community using your native language. You are also welcome to advertise our site in your regional communities and if this has a cost, please contact us at support@primfix.com and we are sure we can come to a deal!
We mentioned in our last newsletter, that we were going to add Bank Wires to PrimFix. We have been discussing this issue with an AlertPay representative and he told us they enabled Bank Wire as an option to fund your AlertPay account. He also told us a lot of fraudulent transfers come from wires, so we realized we better leave this issue to AlertPay and spend a little more on fees. We don’t have the time to keep checking every single transfer to see if it’s legal or not, so we’ll be accepting them through AlertPay, at least for now. AlertPay has been very supportive and it has been a pleasure to work with them and follow their suggestions!
I would just like to emphasize that PrimFix members will get 25% discount on xChanger.org if they register using the link inside members area. We are not making any money from this, we just made a deal with them so that our members can get some benefits. A couple hundred members already joined and it’s great to see that you’re saving tens of dollars every day!
Also, I would like to apologize for not delivering the Betting Platform last week, our programmer realized the system is more complicated to integrate than we thought at the beginning, however we are almost done with it. We really wanted to launch it before the NBA finals as there were some very exciting matches there but unfortunately it was not possible. We will e-mail you when it’s ready to use and we are pretty sure you’ll enjoy it, please remember that you have nothing to lose with those bets, it’s just another way we found to give our members some sort of bonus.
Our Live Chat and Support Ticket system have been very calm lately, we suppose it means our website is very clear and easy to use as many people keep joining us and become a part of our team every day. We only receive a few questions asking about our performance with the bets and we can tell you we are doing great, there have been many tennis matches lately and they are amongst the easiest matches to predict the winner, so we are making a big profit this month. MLB is on in America and will also bring some great results for us for sure.
We edited our F.A.Q last week with the most asked questions, we are trying to make it as clear as possible, if you have any suggestions of more questions to be included, please let us know. We are constantly working on our site to make it suitable for everyone.
That is what we have for today. Once again, thanks for being a part of our team. Even with its nearly four thousand members, PrimFix is still a baby program and we have a lot to improve, there’s still a long way to go in order to make it the best HYIP this industry has ever seen.
Have a great week partners,
Best regards, Derek Rochester”.

I would like to apologize for the delay in starting the cash contest on the MNO forum which is currently sponsored by GulfReserve (reviewed here). I’m pleased to report that the contest has now started on this thread of MNO Forum and that during the next week a question will be posted at different times every day where every lucky winner will be able to get a $5 cash prize straight to their PerfectMoney account. So, make sure that you have a registered account on the MNO Forum and good luck with winning a prize. You can read my review and interview of the program and maybe even the Live chat transcript with the program’s admin Alina also posted on MNO Forum here. GulfReserve currently offers 4%-5.5% for 30 business days, 1.2% for 150 calendar days and 105% after 5 calendar days. By joining with a $1 minimum you will be able to get paid instantly to your LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and AlertPay accounts. GulfReserve recently reached the #2 spot on MNO rankings after being monitored for three months. I hope that the new contest will be also popular among my readers which will prompt Alina to extend it for another week, so please show your support in this Forum thread.

The top choice on MNO remains GorgonProjectInvest (reviewed here) which seems to have no real competitors in the industry. I’ll bet it’s a lot of trust which shown by investors of the program which managed to survive AlertPay’s unjustified actions which resulting in closing three of their accounts (!) and is still going strong by paying for over 6 months now. A couple of days ago the first investors with GorgonProjectInvest from the beginning who invested in their 2.2% for 180 days plan were successfully paid their principal back (and I was one of them). Since my first introduction of GorgonProjectInvest six months ago the program started offering a more profitable plan of 3.5% for 180 days with principal returned available exclusively deposits of $100 and more made via GlobalDigitalPay. I couldn’t miss the opportunity and made an investment into this one myself, especially considering that in order to be paid faster you are advised to make an internal exchange from LR to GDP as GlobalDigitalPay is now the preferred e-currency by GorgonProjectInvest. Other payment processors include SolidTrustPay, Pecunix, PerfectMoney and LibertyReserve (direct Bank wires are also accepted, by the way). Other shorter term plans there include 1.9% for 30 days and 2% for 90 days and returns principal on expiry. For more details about the plans and the program itself you can read my interview with the admin of GorgonProjectInvest Paul posted on MNO here or see the results of two Live chat sessions on MNO here and here.

I felt kinda embarrassed for the admin of DranTex lately when I received his latest newsletter containing the link to the recent review on MNO. Well, actually I believe he intended to put the link to his current program DranTex (you can read the review of it here, by the way) and erroneously put the link to ProInvestex which was reviewed on MNO way way back in 2009 (!). The only reason I can come up with for doing this is because he ran this ProInvestex at that time and just forgot to change the link to the review for some reason. Well, I’m totally ok with admins running different programs because that is how they gain experience, but in this case I think it’s only showing the admin’s negligence in what he’s doing. Of course, smart investors will be able to find the original review of DranTex on MNO even with the wrong link but I guess this will be a good interview question for the one I’ll be sending him in the next 24 hours. I hope this unfortunate slip will not affect the performance of DranTex which is still paying promptly and within 24 hours on request to five payment processors on two offered investment plans – 120% after 7 days and 10% for 14 days. Well, actually I believe that after 5 days online the first payments from DranTex on the 7-day plan are yet to be processed but once that happens you will be updated on MNO. Here is the latest newsletter from DranTex where I already changed the link to the correct review, lol:
“Dear DranTex Partner,

Another problem with LibertyReserve deposits not showing in your program’s account automatically on making a deposit was reported yesterday by the administration of FeoCash (reviewed here). However since the program is using a unique script offering you automated payouts to your LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney accounts there shouldn’t be any concern for you as the deposits would still be added automatically to your account, but just not immediately. Here is the latest newsletter from FeoCash addressing this issue with LR deposits:
“Since there is some problem with the shopping cart interface of LibertyReserve, there will be delay of your deposit to show in your account. So please don’t worry if your deposit doesn’t show it instantly on your account. Our system will automatically detect it and add your deposit to your account.”
FeoCash has been running for 18 days, an impressive term for a program offering such short term plans as 4.33% for 24 hours, 118% after 4 days, 150% after 10 days and 280% after 30 days. The payouts are made automatically so don’t have to be requested.

As you know AudivaTraders (reviewed here) is a type of program that used to have low-key promotion from the beginning as the returns offered by it are quite low – the program pays 108% after 2 weeks, 131% after 4 weeks and 196% after 8 weeks. Instant payouts via a script developed for the program by ProBizScript unfortunately didn’t work in LibertyReserve till recently and were only made to PerfectMoney and AlertPay investors. This issue should be fixed by tomorrow according to the admin, and I hope this leads to an influx of new members preferring instant payouts when dealing with high-risk HYIPs. More new features include the submission of testimonials, the best of which will be published, but the most attention is expected to be drawn to the so-called Summer Promo which will give a $50 cash prize to the best supporter of AudivaTraders in the opinion of its admin. Here’s more on that along with other updates:
“AudivaTraders – News & Summer Promo!
I have a roundup today for you of some of what has been going on with AudivaTraders thus far!
AudivaTraders has passed its mark on the 2 week plan and has started the payouts of all the members who joined in the first few days! This is an exciting start for AudivaTraders, with more to come! Along the way there were a couple hickups in the system that were noticed right away and have now been fixed! The script we are using is still a brand new script that has been being updated almost weekly from our coder. Along the way, any little bug I notice or a member may notice, I report it to him and it’s always fixed with a day or two. Currently, LR instant withdraws is the only thing being upgraded in our script for better reliability and should be available tomorrow. PM and AP are instant still.
Our next feature we enabled this week is the testimonials! I invite you to write a review, short testimonial, on AudivaTraders! This can be done within your account after your logged in. The submission will go pending, and once reviewed, it will be approved for our testimonial page which can be found here: https://www.audivatraders.com/testimonials.php
Next, you may have noticed in your account we have added your account balance info on the top left of your member account. You can now view your total balance available to you in USD and EURO.
To end the news, I left the best for last. AudivaTraders is doing a two weeks, ends July 11th, promotion! This will be our “Summer Promo”. It will be very simple and straight forward. I am looking for the best support members that are willing to go out and spread the word about AudivaTraders. I will be reading through the forums and blogs. The top 2 members who show the most support will each earn themselves the cash prize reward of $50 each. Reviews from bloggers will be the top earner and way to win. If I see a member support in the forums often, this is another way. Something fun and simple to help you and AudivaTraders gain attention and hope to have you aboard! Good Luck!
That is all for now, I will be back tomorrow with a surprise for you all!
Best Regards, Dale Taylor”.

A short update was submitted by the admin of TrueWealthAlliance recently that introduced the recent review posted a couple of days ago on MNO (read it here) and reported about the addition of more monitors to the program:
“Money News Online Review
Our program has been reviewed by Money News Online.
We would like to invite all of our members to read the review here
http://money-news-online.com/blog/2011/06/26/26062011-truewealthalliance-review-and-daily-news-from-the-industry/
We have also added a handful of the top monitors and would appreciate our members’ votes. You can find the monitors listed on the monitor page within our site.
We appreciate your support. We will work hard to ensure your success.
Your Financial Ally
Martin Campos. TrueWealthAlliance Admin”.
TrueWealthAlliance is paying 1.5% for 30 days, 2% for 60 days and 2.5% for 90 days with principal returned on expiry. They accept deposits starting from $10 via LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and recently added GlobalDigitalPay as well.

Speaking of GlobalDigitalPay, it has been removed recently from the list of accepted payment processors from another popular program OnlineWealthFund (reviewed here) leaving it with only two options – LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney. The admin Gene (he was interviewed on MNO here) explained this decision by the current inability to conveniently exchange GlobalDigitalPay to other e-currencies and encouraged investors to pressure them in order to accommodate the acceptance of this e-currency with reasonable fees. The decision is only temporary, by the way, and it won’t affect any existing deposits already made via GlobalDigitalPay. The profits will still be paid as usual on all the plans on offer in OnlineWealthFund – 1.9% for 14 days, 2.3% for 21 days and 2.9% for 42 days with principal returned on expiry. I hope that once GlobalDigitalPay overcomes its current difficulties Gene will reconsider that decision and will be accept them once again. Though personally I don’t see any reason not to accept it if OnlineWelathFund is going to stay online for a while. Anyway, the decision has been made and I respect it, though not agree with the reason specified in the below mentioned newsletter:
“Global Digital Pay Disabled
We have temporarily disabled deposits via Global Digital Pay.
We hope to reinstall the ability to participate via GDP at the earliest possible time. It has been a popular processor for our members. However, there are no convenient ways to move GDP funds at this time. We cannot continue to supplement the derivatives from GDP participations to cover the exchange rates. When GDP determines to address this problem personally instead of allowing their members to suffer because of market flooding, we will again be delighted to accept the currency. Until that time we will move forward without it.
We will continue to process withdraw requests via GDP. We suggest however those members desiring to utilize this currency voice their personal opinions to GDP in an effort to persuade them to solve this issue. It is a simple and easy solution. All GDP has to do is re-purchase the excess GDP currency from their exchangers. GDP earns from fees. If they discount the purchase to their exchangers so that the exchangers can still make a reasonable profit then GDP will see an increase in patronage for solving the problem as well as derive a fee for the movement of funds. Every processor goes thru this cycle at some time or another in their existence. The solution is a wholesale agreement between the Exchangers and the Processor and we will see the end of a problem and the beginning of a trend.
We invite GDP to become a trend setter and forge their own destiny by providing a superior customer service to their members and ensure that this ridiculous scenario never returns.
Gene Adkins. OWF Admin”.

I have to express a feeling of satisfaction now that it looks like Corraliva has disappeared completely and will most likely not be coming back. I would like to think that it was at least partially due to a very unfavorable review posted on MNO a few days ago after I became aware that the admin of Corraliva was also behind OscarFunds. No need to say that as predicted in my review of Corraliva it was intended as a fast scam and the excuses of delayed payouts and the site’s upgrade was nothing more than bluff. Well, what could you expect from a crook like that! I sincerely hope he does not come to me again for promotion because my honest opinion is not for sale and my reviews are totally unbiased and reflect my true point of view. I guess everybody could see it in my recent review of Corraliva posted here. I’m glad that almost nobody from my readership made a deposit there and the admin got what he deserved – nothing but contempt.

Unfortunately, I had to move CyproRealty to Problem status on MNO followed by recent delays processing withdrawal requests to LibertyReserve and the inability of the admin to explain why. The program was only monitored on MNO for 7 weeks and those who joined have yet to see any profits as not even one cycle was completed properly. And after that somebody can tell me that a short-term program paying for 3 days could be worse than absolute rubbish like CyproRealty, which managed to run for seven whole weeks and still leave everybody at a loss! I wish we had less such awful programs as CyproRealty but unfortunately, it’s very hard to point them out. But I will keep trying. Promise!

The list of the programs that paid me for the last 40 hours include the following:
DranTex, OnlineWealthFund, EarnGroups, GorgonProjectInvest, MGFunds, FeoCash, Insectrio, SafeDepositary, StockBiz, EurexTrade, BrantonsGroup, GulfReserve, StraDox, InvestNetGroup, PrimFix, PermanentProfit, LucrativaFund, Opulentia, AlphaForex, TrueWealthAlliance, WindFund, GlobalFxTrades, BaseBucks, EasyDollarsGrowth, PowerfulStrategy, EverydayEarnings and AdvanceFund.

That is all the news for today. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s review of quite a different type of program – BaseBucks. You will also find all the latest news and updates from the most popular programs online – only on MNO blog. I hope to see you all on again tomorrow!
