20/08/2011. Interview with the admin of RockwellFunds

BEWARE! RockwellFunds has stopped paying! Do not invest!

Hi all! Hope the weekend has been going well for you so far. As it’s Saturday you might have guessed that there’s not a lot happening on the news front in the industry. There is always something going on though, and today I have an interview with Jeffrey, the admin of RockwellFunds, a short term program and one of the first ever HYIPs to be added to the new category of Exclusive Listing on MNO.

They’ve attracted quite a bit of interest from industry players in the last two weeks (almost) and it’s not difficult to see why. The plans available have always proved popular with fans of short term programs which is half the battle but they also try and present them to you in a more unique and individual way. So before we hear from Jeffrey I’ll just remind you that RockwellFunds offers terms of 114% after 7 days, 140% after 14 days, and 200% after 30 days, and was first reviewed on MNO here.

“1. Hi Jeffrey, please introduce yourself to the readers of MNO and tell us please about your own involvement in RockwellFunds.

Hi Paul and all the MNO readers. I’m Jeffrey Cameron, Managing Director of RockwellFunds Inc. I have worked for this company for more than three years, starting from the launch of the project.

2. Can you give us some background information on RockwellFunds? How many others are involved with the program or are you operating alone? How long have you been online?

RockwellFunds Inc. was founded in 2008 and incorporated in the Republic of Panama during the second half of 2009. We have decided to take our services worldwide in July 2011 after receiving extremely positive feedback from over a year of operating “offline”. We have just built a stable business where together with our investors invest in ForEx market and earn on this.

How does this happen? Do not ask me as it’s not really the area that I specialize in. That’s really more the field of out traders, analysts and fund managers who make really unique things by trading on ForEx and earning profit for themselves and investors of RockwellFunds as well.

3. What plans are available to investors in RockwellFunds? Explain them in detail to us. What ROIs are on offer. What are the minimum and maximum amounts to invest? What payment options are you accepting at the moment?

We offer three investment plans: short-term, medium-term and long-term:

Ultra (short-term) – this investment plan runs for 7 calendar days with a total return of 114% including your principal. The minimum to start with is USD/EURO 10.

Optima (medium-term) – this plan is in demand among investors who want to earn as much as possible in the shortest amount of time. This package pays 140% (including the principal) after 14 calendar days. For example if you invest USD/EURO 1,000 under this plan, we will pay out USD/EURO 1,400 in 14 days. Your gain will be USD/EURO 400.

Reviera (long-term) – any serious investor has to think in global terms! You will be able to make a huge profit and provide well for the rest of your life. This package pays 200% (including principal) after 30 calendar days. So, your investment of USD/EURO 1,000 under this plan will pay out USD/EURO 2,000 in 30 days. Your NET profit will be USD/EURO 1,000.

We accept PerfectMoney, LibertyReserve, SolidTrustPay and Credit Cards through SolidTrustPay.

4. How secure is the website of RockwellFunds? What are you doing to protect it and members’ accounts from hackers? Are you on a dedicated server? Who is your host? What kind of anti-DDoS protection do you have?

Let’s start with the proviso that we have no members area. This means that there is actually nothing to protect.

RockwellFunds is hosted on a dedicated server, provided by Dragonara, who are the same people who provide us protection from DDoS attacks. As far as the ability and efficiency of Dragonara is concerned, I believe they are at the top. In addition to these, we also have a 256-bit SSL encryption from Comodo.

5. I can see that RockwellFunds is a bit different than most HYIPs when it comes to a) the script and b) the registration process. Can you explain them both to us and give us a step-by-step guide to joining, depositing, and getting paid by your program?

Our script is very simple but it’s also very safe because we have no members area. Investing process with RockwellFunds is quite easy: you don’t need to make boring registration to make deposits. Let’s get started step by step:

Step 1: Click on the ‘Invest Now’ button from the main menu of RockwellFunds.

Step 2: Here there is the investing application from which acts as a user interface for ease in the investing process. I’m going to describe this form intelligibly:

Currency field: you can choose USD or EURO as your investing currency. Please note that we do not accept EURO deposits through SolidTrustPay at the moment.

Investment Amount: Please enter desired investment amount in this field. The minimum to invest is USD/EURO 10 and the maximum is USD/EURO 30,000.

Investment Plan: choose your desired investment plan in this field.

Payment Method: Please enter payment method here of either LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney or SolidTrustPay.

Your email: simply enter your email address here (e.g. johnsmith@yahoo.com).

Mobile phone number: enter your mobile phone number here.

SMS notification: tick this checkbox if you wish to be notified by SMS when you receive your payout to your e-currency account.

After you filled out the investing application form, you should click on the “Submit” button in order to proceed to the next step.

Step 3: in this step, according to your selected payment method, you will be redirected to the checkout page of the selected payment system. Complete your investment with RockwellFunds. You will be then redirected back to our website with a message that your investment has been successfully received.

6. Can we see any statistics regarding the site? How many members have joined since the beginning and how many are active at the moment? Are you pleased with the support from the members so far? How important a role do they play in bringing in new members?

RockwellFunds started attracting the big investors from day one itself, and I have to say I was really impressed with such a start. At the moment, we have over 500 investors and this amount is increasing at a rapid rate, especially with the major improvements we have made to our program recently.

7. How can members contact you if they have any questions or support related issues?

As of the moment, RockwellFunds offers e-mail support. Members and visitors who wish to have their doubts and inquiries cleared, can contact us by completing and submitting the support form given in the customer support page of the website.

8. I see a growing number of new HYIPs using things like Facebook recently (RockwellFunds being the latest). Is it really that beneficial to the program? Does it actually get you new investors or is it more for information? Does it distract you too much from the job of actually managing the program?

Social media has opened up many new doors for marketing. While it pays to be smart in how you actually do your social media marketing, there are a variety of ways you can build exposure, and these are different from network to network.

Facebook is of course a hugely popular social network, so it stands to reason why we choose it to promote RockwellFunds.

As time goes on, social networking will only become more popular as people are realizing that it is a way to have their voices heard and share relevant content with family and friends.

9. What have been the most common questions and problems you’ve had to deal with so far? Is there anything you wish to say here so that members can avoid having to contact you later?

Our investors often ask us whether the investment term is calculated based on calendar days or business days. I take the privilege to clear that doubt once again here. The investment term is calculated based on calendar days, which means, both weekdays and weekends are counted.

10. How have you been promoting the program so far? What advertising strategy have you been using? How are you getting new members to join?

RockwellFunds is currently being advertised in the major blogs and other money making websites. In the coming weeks, we will be stepping up the advertising campaign and promotions to a much higher level. We do not believe in aggressive advertising. RockwellFunds will be advertised in the top sites at a constant pace.

11. What exactly are you doing with investors money? How are you investing it and how are you generating the profits being made to members?

Officially registered offshore in Republic of Panama since 2009 by a team of financial professionals and experts in Internet technology, we have established ourselves as a leading provider of online trading services in the currency market (Forex).

12. And finally is there anything else you wish to say not covered in this interview? Anything in the review you may not agree with or wish to comment on? If you had just one more thing to say to the unconvinced about the merits of putting their money into your program, what would that be?

I would like to thank you, Paul for the interview. I would also on behalf of the entire team of RockwellFunds, including myself appreciate and like to thank you for the apt and detailed review of RockwellFunds.

Finally, I want to tell everyone that RockwellFunds welcomes you all. If you are still not a participant in our program, then we strongly recommend that you join us right away, as this is potentially a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will allow you to significantly increase your capital!”

So, thanks a lot to Jeffrey for that and I hope that both existing and potential RockwellFunds members alike all found something that will be useful to you in there. Good luck to Jeffrey in establishing his program in what can already be a very difficult market to gain acceptance in and best of luck to you too if you join.

That’s almost it for today guys, but not quite. I don’t have much news but there are two important stories that I want to mention first just briefly before I go. I’ll elaborate on them a bit more tomorrow in the news but for now please be aware that EndowMoney has become a scam and you are strongly advised to stay away from there. I received a number of complaints about missing payouts over the last 24 hours and can confirm that they are now making selective payouts mostly to monitors. When I confronted the admin on this his reaction was to remove the MNO monitoring button from his ratings page. Well, that more or less confirms it then! As is normally the case MNO is yet again the first monitor to highlight this scam which continues to be ignored by other monitoring websites who prove time and time again that they don’t care about you as long as they collect a couple of dollars (mostly stolen from you, by the way!) They continue to keep EndowMoney on Paying Status despite being a proven scam now. So if you’re sick of this treatment then you know what to do – stay away from these idiots and don’t give them your business until they learn some Goddamn respect for their customers!

The other issue I wanted to highlight for you was some downtime currently being experienced on GorgonProjectInvest (reviewed here). Nothing to panic about, it’s just some minor technical upgrades that need to be carried out on their server so they should be up and running again in no time. The GorgonProjectInvest admin Paul contacted me himself and asked me to remind you that despite the website not being available the program’s e-mail is still working perfectly well so you can contact them at any time there, as is their support site here which is on a different server anyway, as well as their Twitter account. Thanks a lot to Paul for that and it just goes to prove the importance of good communications in this business. It can really help prevent minor issues like this that happen with every website from time to time from snowballing into something they’re not and can go a long way towards demonstrating to investors how serious you are compared to your competitors. I guess that’s just one of many reasons why GorgonProjectInvest is still the #1 program in the industry.

OK then, that’s definitely it! I’ll be back as always tomorrow with a full news round-up from all the programs covered on my monitoring list so enjoy the rest of your Saturday and I’ll see you all then!
