08/08/2011. Daily News from the Industry

Hello, guys! I’m in a pretty good mood tonight as I finally had some time for myself and to sleep for longer than usual today. This is a great thing to get as much sleep as you want and fills you with energy you obviously need in the beginning of the working week.

Since I didn’t publish any news last night I have a lot to catch up on so hopefully you don’t mind staying a bit longer on MNO this evening if you want to be fully up to date.

We’ll start with a rare update from the current #1 program on MNO – GorgonProjectInvest (reviewed here). The program is doing just amazingly well and paying fast to every single investor despite some trouble caused by AlertPay a few months ago and the current difficult situation with exchanging GDP. Well, this just proves that nothing will kill a program if it’s run by a professional admin which I believe the admin of GorgonProjectInvest Paul (interviewed here) is all about. Currently GorgonProjectInvest accepts five payment processors – LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, AlertPay, Pecunix and SolidTrustPay starting from $1 only. The investment plans on offer include: 1.9% for 30 days (starting from $1), 2% for 90 days (for a $25 minimum deposit), 3.5% for 180 days and 3.65% for 365 days ($100 minimum for the last two plans). Please note that your principal is returned in all plans on expiry.

Getting back to the update itself, it was announced that due to a technical error affecting those who invested less than $10 in the 1.9% for 30 days plan, interest payments were not credited properly for 3 days last month. In order to rectify that the admin decided to extend the plan for everybody with a current deposit in that for three more days. Obviously thats a much easier solution than crediting hundreds of accounts with missing payments. It’s a reasonable decision which I think members will gladly accept. Here is the news about extending the Dampier 30 plan posted on the GorgonProjectInvest website today:
“Dampier 30 Plan – 3 Extra Days Added
Hi Everyone
Due to a system error, investors in the Dampier 30 plan did not receive 3 days worth of interest last month. In response to rectifying this, we have decided to extend the term by 3 days because it would take too long to individually add the missing 3 days interest to each account.
The error only affected people who had invested less than $10 in the Dampier 30 plan, but the extended term will affect everyone in the Dampier 30 plan.
We hope that this is a welcome development and are sure most people won’t mind the extra days added. It will, of course, extend the time to wait for your principal to be returned by 3 days.
If your plan has expired and you have missing interest, please send a support request and we will manually add the funds to your account.
Thank you. Support Team
GorgonProjectInvest”.

If you’ve been in HYIP industry for long enough you’ll be aware that all the popular projects like GorgonProjectInvest are targets for all types of scammers trying to take advantage of the program’s popularity. It’s an old story by now but unbelievably some scammers are still getting away with theft and fraud by simply sending emails impersonating GorgonProjectInvest and asking you to send money to a specific account to join a new plan. Of course, you must not trust such emails and GorgonProjectInvest already made their point about that very clear already and more than once as well. Since not everybody listens to that advice it’s important to remind about that constantly so newbies of this industry don’t fall victim to such scams. The regular warnings issued by the administration of GorgonProjectInvest should be really appreciated by the wider investment audience:
“Beware of Fake e-mail Circulating
Hello Everyone
Please be aware of a new fake e-mail that is circulating at the moment. DO NOT REPLY to the e-mail or follow instructions as you will be SCAMMED.
Please only ever deposit funds on the GorgonProjectInvest website never directly to a digital currency via instructions from an e-mail.
This is the e-mail – if you receive it, please ignore it and delete it.
=====================
Dear Investors, we have just launched a new plan called “Gorgon Special”. It pays a total return of 125% after 5 calendar days whereas principal is already included in the return. This plan will be opened only for a limited time and can accept deposits starting from $500 and up. Example of $500 investment – get $500 + $125 back after 5 calendar days; Example of $1000 investment – get $1000 + $250 back after 5 calendar days; Example of $3000 investment – get $3000 + $750 back after 5 calendar days. Please contact us by responding to this email if you wish to make an appropriate investment. Warm Regards, Paul

Thank you. Support Team
GorgonProjectInvest”.

Staying on the topic of scams I would like to remind you once again that I have ONLY one email address abramsonp@gmail.com and that I NEVER contact you from this email with any kind of investment offers. Please note that there are also some emails sent from an address very similar to mine inviting everybody to join an MNO investment club and invest money directly to the account the scammer sending you the mail. I can see that this scammer now even offers an “investment contract” on my behalf, worthless of course but some might be fooled into thinking it has more credibility. Please be very careful if you receive any type of offers from somebody claiming to be me. Note also that the only circumstances under which I will ever contact you will be in response to an email sent by you to me first. I never write to anybody without them writing to me first! The only way you can receive a mass email from me is if you subscribed to get my daily news via FeedBurner service. That process is totally automated and you can unsubscribe from it anytime. It cannot be considered as unsolicited as it requires a subscription. I would also like to add that I never ran in the past, am not running now, and am not going to run any investment funds in the future! So please be careful and don’t be a victim of serious criminal fraud. If you have any doubts please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at abramsonp@gmail.com or submit your request via my contact page.

The program currently ranked #5 on MNO and running for an impressive eight and a half months is UnicornInv (reviewed here). I bet back in 2010 not many people could imagine that the program could run for such a long time without any interruptions paying steadily 1% on every business day and 6% weekly with no expiry date and with possibility to request your principal back in 180 business days. I can see that the first investors in UnicornInv didn’t regret their decision and are enjoying enormous profits by now. I don’t see it ending anytime soon either and the admin of UnicornInv Thomas (interviewed here) who was smart enough not to accept AlertPay in the first place which was possibly one factor contributing to the uninterrupted steady growth of the program for so long. I remind you that UnicornInv only accepts deposits starting from $20 via three popular payment processors – LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and SolidTrustPay. I guess the suspicion felt by many towards AlertPay is shared by the admin who opposed adding AP as a payment processor right from the start. I’m sure that more and more investors and HYIP admins alike will realize how dangerous AlertPay can be for their programs and will consider switching to SolidTrustPay instead which is a superior and cheaper alternative. By the way, I have already sent the interview to the admin of STP Stella so hopefully will have it by next week, so stay tuned for that!). Another question about payment processors commonly asked by the investors of UnicornInv is the possible acceptance of GlobalDigitalPay processor. As you might be aware, this payment processor is currently next to impossible to out-exchange and therefore is not going to be a realistic option at the point. By the way, today I got a reply from the admin of GDP saying that a solution to allow members to exchange GDP to other currencies or even to Bank accounts is pending and that he couldn’t give an exact timeframe when it’s going to be implemented (let’s hope for the best though!). Other news from UnicornInv sees them getting a sticky thread on the popular MMG forum which remains the program’s official forum where you can get answers to all the questions you might have. This is the latest newsletter in full:
“7 August 2011 – Newsletter
Dear Clients
We are very glad to inform you that UnicornInv is still growing steady and in a way that makes it very manageable for Peter and me to serve you best.
Support requests from our members (except of the dozens of so called monitoring services, who still spam our inbox daily…) are very moderate, what gives us time to concentrate on our core business.
There is however one question that came up frequently over the last couple of weeks:
‘When will you accept AlertPay?’
We have a one word answer to this question: NEVER – period!
I have answered this question already in February, while interviewed by Paul Abramson of Money-News-Online.com
Today AlertPay is a proven SCAM Payment Processor, purloined hundreds of thousands of dollars from the (still existing) ‘believers’ of AlertPay, who invested their funds in several HYIPs over the last couple of months – most of them collapsed as a result of AlertPay’s action taken, in freezing those HYIP accounts…
So please leave us alone with AlertPay and in the future we will consider ANY support request referring to AlertPay as not received – or in other words: You will not receive an answer!
Please also note that Paul Abramson of Money-News-Online.com published a comprehensive review of AlertPay and their current situation, so please do not miss to check his blog on a regular basis.
In our opinion AlertPay is on the verge of either collapsing or scamming their members funds (despite being a Canadian company and though regulated).
We are very glad with SolidTrust Pay, which we are accepting since December 2010, and advise all AlertPay clients to consider to open an account with them. SolidTrust Pay even added a Credit/Debit Card deposit and withdrawal option recently (which is a absolute novelty to the payment processor industry, as far as I know) and their fees are lower than AlertPay as well.
We have also received several requests as if we might add Global Digital Pay in the near future. (Some requests went so far, as to ask us if we would take in Global Digital Pay and then pay interest via Liberty Reserve. That leaves us utterly dismayed.) Fact is that at the moment of time Global Digital Pay is not exchangeable to any other payment processor, neither to bank accounts. We might reconsider Global Digital Pay at a later stage.
What else?
As you might have noticed our official forum since a while is at MoneyMakerGroup. We have recently added UnicornInv to their ‘Sticky Listing’ and you will find it here.
That are all the news for the moment. I hope everyone is doing well and remain with Best regards, Thomas”.

Despite of the short downtime that lasted for a few hours yesterday the site of Opulentia (reviewed here) is still online and the admin Daniel (interviewed here) still pays everyone who joined the so-called celebratory 125% after 7 days plan. I remember that two days ago Daniel decided to extend the plan for two more days due to enormous demand from the members as explained in this newsletter:
“OPULENTIA: Two more days for Celebratory plan
Due to the ENORMOUS amount of requests, we have decided to extend the allotted time for the “special plan” investments for two more days, until Monday. We are aware that many of you would like us to keep that plan active all the time, but, unfortunately, it is not possible. These two days are the most we can manage.
Please note that our two regular plans are highly profitable and stable as well. Stable indeed, if you realize that we have been paying out for full 6 months now, without skipping a beat, and do a bit of calculating you will see how high the profits of the people who invested in the beginning are.
We have achieved a tremendous success, we became one of the leading internet investment programs, but we will not stop. We shall carry on!
And, without your support, we could not have achieved that.
Thank you for your trust!
Best regards, Daniel Beletzky
CEO at Opulentia”.
Well, at this point I’m not quite sure for how long more this plan will be accepted in Opulentia but for now I can see it’s still available in my member’s area in the program and the minimum still remains the same $1 accepted via all five payment processors – LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, AlertPay, SolidTrustPay and GlobalDigitalPay. I guess Daniel will issue another newsletter as soon as it’s dropped and the program is left with the original two plans – 2.15% on every business day for 365 days and 11% for 55 weeks with principal returned on expiry. For now the celebratory plan is still available for all the members of Opulentia but possibly (I don’t know) this might be your last chance.

It’s really sad to list MaxiEarn as a scam already as it has stopped paying to its investors following the unfortunate business with AlertPay who blocked the program’s account last week leaving them stranded and unable to pay what was owned to investors. The admin admitted to me today that he is really regretting ever accepting AlertPay in the first place which resulted in the demise of his program after more than four months of stable work. Of course the AlertPay situation also affected LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney deposits with panicking investors withdrawing in large quantities and not reinvesting in the program. Where another short-term program EarnGroups (reviewed here) managed to survive MaxiEarn was not able to continue payouts. There is nothing that can be done about this and unfortunately I had to move MaxiEarn to Scam status on MNO today. Although I really hope the admin learned his lesson from this bad experience with AlertPay and won’t accept it for his future programs. We really need such professional admins who are able to run short-term programs for months at a time and not mere weeks. And I guess the HYIP industry will be much healthier without AlertPay freezing accounts at random and seizing the money rightfully owned by investors.

Last Saturday I reported about some technical issues ComoditiesCapital experienced with its hosting provider that caused a problem crediting members’ deposits automatically. I remind you that ComoditiesCapital currently accepts deposits made via LibertyReserve, AlertPay and PerfectMoney to four investment plans – 1.8% for 100 days (principal back), 3.2% for 45 days, 5% for 30 days and 6.5% for 25 days. More about the plans can be read in my detailed review of the program here. Here is the email about the issues with deposits and withdrawals ComoditiesCapital experienced two days ago:
“Host problem
It seems that our host has some technical problems which affected our site too. Earnings and deposits were not added auto anymore and i’m not sure if it’s fixed or not yet. Anyway we will move to another host soon so if you will see the site down for a while please don’t worry. We will be back fast and we will fix all problems. Please if you notice in your profile (accounts) any issue email me directly (jamessetter8@googlemail.com) to fix it manually for now. Thank you all for your great support and standby for our new contest winner of today which will be announced in few hours.
Regards, James. CommoditiesCapital”.

I imagine the admin of ComoditiesCapital James worked really hard getting the site back to normal over the weekend. Today it was announced that he had successfully moved the site to another more quality server AntiDdos, well known for hosting many famous short-term programs. New design of the program which I guess will include the new name of CommoditiesCapital with the proper double “M” spelling and other features are being prepared at the moment. And I guess after that I will be able to interview James where he can explain everything himself. Here is the email about all the current and upcoming changes:
“Site is back online
Site is back online (at least for me it’s propagated now). I want to ask you all please check your profiles and accounts and let me know if everything it’s ok. If you see any problem please email me immediatelly to fix it. I won’t make payouts for few more hours for you to have time enough to check your profiles and accounts first. Beside this i need to get few hours of sleep myself because i’m working for 18 hours now. Now we have a new host (with antiddos protection) and soon we will also have a new design. If i forgot to tell you, we also upgraded to Premium class on MNO.
Thank you again for all your support and patience.
Regards, James. CommoditiesCapital”.

Staying with ComoditiesCapital due to those technical issues James was not able to announce the winner of his daily forum activity contest where every day one winner gets a $5 deposit in the program. So instead of that, two separate emails were issued announcing two winners:
“Two winner for today
To compensate the missed day of yesterday we decided that today will be two winners of prizes. One for our daily best supporter in forums which will be announced few hours later and one for our most loyal supporter till now (user:ita75) who supported us from the beginning (even before the contest). So congratulations user: ita75, you got 5$ deposit bonus prize. Standby for our daily winner in few hours.
Regards, James. CommoditiesCapital”.
“Today’s winner
Was not easy to choose but we finally decided that today’s winner in our best supporter on forums contest is user: egyptking. He already got his 5$ deposit bonus prize. Congratulation! Thank you all for your great support. Standby for our next winner tomorrow.
Regards, James. CommoditiesCapital”.

I have two updates from from JPDaily (reviewed here) for you. Over the last two days the investors of the program earned over 11% profit in total which they can withdraw from the program anytime with fixed $0.25 + 3% withdrawal fee. I remind you that by investing in JPDaily you’re really in control (unlike the majority of HYIPs) and can make a full or partial withdrawal of your principal any time you like. The returns vary but overall I guess those in the program from day one (JPDaily has been running for over a month) managed to double their money if they compounded their earnings. And I guess that’s not a bad result at all! You can invest in JPDaily with LibertyReserve (the new minimum is $20), AlertPay (minimum is $250) and direct Bank wires (starting from $3,000). To get rid of the nickel-and-dime investors today the admin of the program Rich started cashing out the investors whose total balance in the program was less than $20 which will continue within the next couple of days. So, if you want to stay with JPDaily either reinvest more or withdraw your earnings as soon as possible. Here are two latest payment reports from the program issued yesterday and today:
“Daily Result: +2.46% for JPDaily
Todays result has been announced!

News:
Ok cool… today was awesome. I’ve been fully busy all day, but the good and productive kind of busy!
The referral payments for last week are all done, and your balances updated.
I’ve also begun cashing out the smallest investors. You can view todays withdrawals thread to see how tedious that was!!! So far i’ve cashed out everybody under $3 and a few random other ones. Tomorrow i’ll continue with that until everyone under $15-$20 is cashed out.
And just a reminder, our new minimum investment is now $20.
Please don’t deposit anything less than that, unless you’re topping up an existing investment.
And poker wise, today was sweet.
I played 4x 1hour 4-table sessions with 3*600NL and 1*1000NL on the go simultaneously. Averaging over 100 blinds per session. (25+ blinds/ table hour). Huge!!
More tomorrow!
Regards, Rich”.

You might have already read my interview with the admin of HyperCompound published yesterday and was announced today on their website. If you haven’t done so yet you’re more than welcome to read it here:
“HyperCompound has been interviewed by MNO
Money-News-Online has published an interview with HyperCompound CEO, you can find it here.”
Just a quick reminder. HyperCompound was first reviewed on MNO over a month ago and you can find the detailed review here. Since the plans are quite complicated I would suggest to read the review for more information, but in a nutshell HyperCompound pays you instantly from 1.5% to 3% interest with a bonus payment which increases every day you stay with the program. Interests is credited to your account on a daily basis for 100 business days and you get your principal back on expiry as well. The withdrawals on LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney are usually processed instantly so you should be paid within seconds of your request.

You may remember that lately I had some issues with ReProFinance which I subsequently discovered many other members were having as well. Access to some accounts was restricted for some time and although no explanation was given the promise to restore access to my account was fulfilled within 48 hours. I can now login to the program perfectly well again. I can also confirm that the payments from ReProFinance are being processed instantly to all the accepted handlers (LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and AlertPay) and I was paid as usual today. ReProFinance has been online for over 400 days already and it’s an impressive achievement in itself. During the first year of operation ReProFinance (originally reviewed here) was much lower key, then recently increased interest rates in order to get more investors and wider recognition now that we can see the HYIP industry recovering after months of stagnation. The new plans offered by ReProFinance pay 1.6%-2.3% for 90 business days and 1.8%-2.5% for 180 business days and returns your principal on expiry, making it more attractive to investors who prefer more established programs.

I see some investors complaining they have been waiting for withdrawals from MGFunds (reviewed here) for quite a long time It looks like they might be experiencing some cashflow issues. Although I didn’t receive any proof of such payout delays I asked the admin about it. The reply was quite surprising. Normally they paid within 1-2 days, but now the admin asks for a couple of weeks. If you disagree with that you can submit a support ticket. I can confirm again that I haven’t received any proof of delays but most probably they do exist judging by the latest reply (so please aware of that before making a deposit with MGFunds):
“For now I think we will not continue with this specific AD but maybe later on.
Withdrawal usually takes couple of days but occasionally may take couple of weeks if circumstances demands it.
If anyone has any question or complaint, please forward them to our support and we will be glad to help.”

I’m glad to report that seemingly more and more HYIP admins discovered the new Exclusive Listing category on my monitor. Programs that prefer to choose MNO over other monitoring sites and save money on fees are welcome to look at it. The second program after SpringPoints (reviewed here) to join the list is the newly launched RockwellFunds. I’d like just to introduce the program on my blog tonight with an exclusive detailed review coming tomorrow. So, RockwellFunds is a brand new short to medium term program offering three investment plans all paying on expiry – 114% after 7 days, 140% after 14 days and 200% after 30 days. Depositing in the program doesn’t require any registration. You just make sure you specify the correct email address when investing to which you will get confirmation after you make a deposit and possibly a phone number where SMS-notification will be sent after you receive your principal+profit back. The payment processors accepted by RockwellFunds are LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and SolidTrustPay (I’m glad to see that AlertPay not listed as yet another admin turns to STP as an alternative). The minimum to invest starts at $10 and payments are processed on expiry automatically to the original e-currency account you joined from. RockwellFunds has an interesting original script, the website is SSL-secured and it’s running on a dedicated DDoS protected server from Dragonara. For more on RockwellFunds read tomorrow’s review!

The following programs listed on my monitoring page paid to me today:
GorgonProjectInvest, EarnGroups, Opulentia, SpringPoints, JPDaily, OnlineInvestmentBank, HitNRunMasters, BrantonsGroup, PowerfulStrategy, SafeDepositary, ReProFinance, MGFunds, InvestNetGroup, SilverPinePartners, PrimFix, UnicornInv, HyperCompound, ComoditiesCapital, ViscoCorp, TopsFund, LibertyHoard, HotInvesting, SecureEarn and MirexGroup.

That’s all for today, guys. See you on MNO tomorrow with more news from the HYIP industry. Good luck with your investments!
