Beware! GoldenCrux has stopped paying! Do not invest there!

Hi everyone! It’s the weekend again so I hope you’re all looking forward to a couple of days off, either relaxing or whatever you like to do in your spare time. Either way I hope you enjoy it. It’s been a busy enough end to the week for me as you can see, there’s more news than usual to get through than the average Friday, plus the addition of a brand new program to my monitoring list called GoldenCrux that I wanted to look at in a bit more detail. You may remember it was just introduced on MNO in yesterday’s update so I want to go through the plans for you today and see if there’s anything you like there. It’s probably not for everyone (nothing ever is) but have a look anyway. GoldenCrux is more of a medium term HYIP with plans that make daily interest payments based on the amount of money you’re coming to gamble with. So let’s see what they have for us.

To start with you can join GoldenCrux for a minimum spend of $20, a bit higher than the industry standard but hardly enough to break most of you if you really want to join it bad enough. The plan (there’s only one but it does have two variations depending on what amount you invest) runs for 40 calendar days. During that time GoldenCrux will pay members 2% interest per day on all deposits between the $20 minimum up to a maximum value of $30,000. By the time the plan expires payments should add up to 80% in total which can then be considered your net profit once the admin returns your principal as promised.

That would mean for a $100 deposit you would earn $2 interest per day until you’ve accumulated a total of $80. GoldenCrux should then return your initial hundred. However it has to be said that there is no reason whatsoever to justify spending $500 or more in this plan. Why? Well take a look at the next option which runs for the very same term but pays an increased rate of interest on larger deposits, therefore making this first plan bit of a waste of time for the bigger players.

Anyway, for more serious gamblers prepared to go in with a $500 minimum spend then GoldenCrux are offering daily interest rates of 2.6%, again for a term of 40 calendar days. Over the course of the term that adds up to 104% in total payments (also meaning you just barely break even before the expiry point) which can be deemed your own net profit once GoldenCrux pay back your principal as promised.

Payment options are reasonable enough compared to a lot of similar HYIPs. Apart from the usual LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney GoldenCrux are also using SolidTrustPay who have been undergoing something of a revival in recent months thanks among other things in no small part to a lot of the higher quality programs returning to them. Anyway, payments are made manually by the admin so will have to be requested from inside your GoldenCrux members account area. Once done the admin asks for you to allow up to 12 hours for him to ensure that all payments are fully processed.

On the more technical, security, and design side of things, GoldenCrux is running off a script that’s under license from GoldCoders. Their website is SSL secured by Comodo and is hosted on a dedicated server with support and protection supplied by Koddos. For any account related issues or customer queries then the GoldenCrux admin can be contacted either directly at the e-mail address provided on the websites Support Page, or by filling in the electronic online ticket and submitting it. Also included is a Live Chat feature where you can get your questions answered immediately whenever you find an operator online. GoldenCrux are maintaining a twitter account as well at the moment. There’s nothing on it just yet but given that they’re still a brand new program I guess that’s OK for now. I just hope they know how to make more effective use of social media networks than most other HYIP admins, 95% of whom are absolutely useless at it.

When it comes to the website content, ie the texts, you really have to hand it to GoldenCrux for at least coming up with something original. I’m glad to see they’ve opted away from the usual ForEx and Financial Services stories most of their competitors like to throw around and go for something a little different. Texts however are not original and have been copied from a variety of different sources relating to the alleged business, which in this case is the recycling of used oil products consumed by motors and machinery. Not something we usually see in the HYIP industry, but nevertheless copied text is still copied text and therefore unlikely to be true (at least anywhere other than the original source, which isn’t here). So it’s fair to conclude therefore that GoldenCrux is a typical online HYIP and is to be treated as such. That means acknowledgement of the high risk and acting accordingly by staying within a small and affordable spending budget and trying to keep all programs you join as a smaller part of a wider more diverse portfolio.

DAILY NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY

NEWGNI – HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

Friday is usually when we expect the regular weekly newsletter from what’s currently the #1 program on MNO NewGNi. Today’s issue takes a celebratory mood as this coming Sunday sees Mother’s Day being celebrated in the US. The admin of NewGNi Jurgen (interviewed here) has a couple of warm words for women and mothers in particular. All in all, the latest update was in a more relaxed tone after a rough couple of weeks which the program has successfully overcome. Definitely this week also sees the first members who joined NewGNi straight after reading my first review back in December 2011 reach a profit (read the full review here). During all those months NewGNi managed to pay flawlessly for two investment plans – 1% per business day and 6% weekly with no expiry date and an optional principal withdrawal after a 180 business day lock-in period. The subsequent addition of SolidTrustPay after LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney benefitted NewGNi enormously, winning them a lot of new fans particularly from the US and Canada where they are most popular.

It’s not a big thing for NewGNi to reach the number one spot on MNO in such a short time as I definitely admire such quality programs that are intended to run for a long time with a professional administration team behind them. This is a clear recipe for success and I hope that NewGNi will prove me right and live up to my high expectations over the next few months. For now, I believe Jurgen is promoting NewGNi in really a good way with a lot of advertising banners purchased on different investment sites (on MNO blog they have a tower banner till January 2013!) while being exclusively monitored on MNO blog. That policy of exclusive monitoring is showing benefits as eventually most of the smart monitors picked up NewGNi for monitoring for free which saved the program lots of money and is definitely contributing to its current and future success. Moreover, 2012 was named the year of giveaways and the May contest will reward three lucky winners with $50 worth of iTunes Gift Cards. So make sure you tell all your friends and colleagues about NewGNi because this will definitely be the one program to watch in 2012 and beyond.

Below you will find the latest update from NewGNi outlining all the week’s news and events:
“Newsletter 11 May 2012

ROYALTY7 – SIX MONTHS ONLINE DOING FINE

Today marks a very special date for investors profiting from the two investment plans offered by Royalty7 (reviewed here) – 7% for 22 business days and 110% after 7 calendar days. Exactly six months ago Royalty7 went live and it looks like the launch date of 11/11/11 brought some really good luck for them as in half a year the program has managed to become one of the truly most remarkable medium-term programs online. I’m not exaggerating by calling it a phenomena in the HYIP industry as no other program that offered similar investment plans, developed gradually like Royalty7 from the beginning and accepting all four major payment processors – AlertPay, SolidTrustPay, LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney – was not able to achieve such heights. Of course we can’t predict for how long Royalty7 will last but at the moment it’s certainly a big thing in the HYIP world with everyone talking about it. The professionalism of the admin and the timely payouts (only made on business days) and a lack of advertising also makes Royalty7 quite unique. My personal opinion is that the program which established itself to such an extent with almost no direct competition can only strengthen its position in the coming weeks and get even bigger. I mean I can’t predict anything or read the admin’s mind but as far as I can see Michael is a true professional in what he’s doing and I really hope we’ll celebrate a year online in six months from now. Here is the latest newsletter posted on Royalty7 today:
“Half-Year anniversary.
Today I am pleased to mark our half year anniversary with 6 months of a powerful operation online.
I would like to take this opportunity and express my gratitude for all our loyal members and partners.
Your enthusiasm have made this possible, and inspired us to go ahead and achieve higher grounds.
We’ll keep doing everything necessary to support our member’s ambition without rest & exemptions.
Thanks & good weekend.
Admin, Michael Solomon.
Royalty7 Team.”

ENR-G – DDOS ATTACKS STRIKE AGAIN

I believe that ENR-G (reviewed here) is really becoming an inconvenient competitor for other projects as the site is getting DDoSed periodically and the admin has to calm investors down every time it happens. I suppose Rory, the admin of ENR-G (interviewed here) is doing a pretty good job as today, when the login was not working properly for a couple of hours due to another DDoS attack. However these attacks did not affect the payouts from the program. For almost ten weeks now ENR-G has been paying fine to all available plans – 1.2% for 30 days and 2.2%-2.7% for 90 days, all with principal back on expiry. A minimum of $10 is accepted via the four main payment processors – AlertPay, SolidTrustPay, PerfectMoney and LibertyReserve – with instant payments processed to all except LR. This perseverance didn’t go unnoticed and lifted ENR-G to a place in the Top 5 Best programs on MNO recently as posted here.

ENR-G is currently considered a serious player in the industry and with the current level of dedication and hard work shown by the team behind it I will not be surprised if one day ENR-G is one of the industry leaders. Here is the latest update sent to its members today explaining the login issues many of us encountered:
“ENR-G Newsletter
Over the last 12 hours we experienced an issue with members being able to login to the website. We apologize for this. It was due to the traffic filter being set too high on our server and it restricted proper access of the database.
I’m happy to report that this issue has been resolved and all members can now login normally and transact smoothly as before.
Please note, as we have said before, when working in a digital world things like this will happen from time to time. We will always be here to properly handle them in a timely fashion though.
Thank you for your patience during this and please feel free to contact us if we can be of service.
Diverse Traders LTD.”

EUREXTRADE – MOVE TO ANOTHER DOMAIN COMPLETED

The admin of EurexTrade Christopher (interviewed here) has issued an important bulletin which concerns all members. As announced a couple of weeks ago EurexTrade has successfully from eurextrade.com to eccpub.com. Nothing else was changed apart reom the domain name and EurexTrade still pays variable returns of up to 2.9% on business days with no expiry date and the original principal returned on request. I have already changed all the links on my site to the new domain and tested the withdrawals which were not affected and are still processed instantly to both LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney. So everything is working smoothly but please note the new links to EurexTrade now as written in the latest update:
“Important information from EurexTrade!
Dear Investors.
We want to inform you that eurextrade.com is no longer available for public. Please use http://eccpub.com in future.
support@eurextrade.com will no longer available too. Use support@eccpub.com for future conversation.
Thank you. Eurex Capital Corp Tech Department.”

EurexTrade is currently the oldest program on MNO monitored for 423 days. This brought the program to the #4 spot in my rating as featured in my article of the Top Five Best programs on MNO which you can read here. For further information including investment plans please refer to my original review of EurexTrade posted here over a year ago.

GOLDENCRUX – FIRST DAYS ONLINE AND FIRST NEWSLETTER

The site of GoldenCrux is online only couple of days but the admin already issued the first newsletter on completion of the first batches of payouts to SolidTrustPay, LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney. In this update it was mentioned about the monitoring of the program on MNO which is widely considered the most popular resource for HYIPs to go for advertising as well as purchasing banners on MMG and TG investment forums. Also mentioned was the area in which GoldenCrux allegedly makes money for the investors and reminded about the around the clock Live Chat support which would be able to assist any investor:
“First Newsletter
To all our valued GoldenCrux Clients,
GoldenCrux made a successful launched last may 9, 2012, Our advertising and promotion managers scout different advertising venues to increase exposure of our program, We have recently added http://money-news-online.com to monitor our program to further boost our online presence.

ROICREDIT – RESET PIN CODE ISSUES

Apparently, after the successful addition of AlertPay to the list of payment processors accepted by ROICredit which originally included only LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney some current members forgot the Pin-code which they used on registration and had a problem in resetting it. Entering this code is required for security reasons. I can see that with that AlertPay ROICredit has become much more popular now and already created a buzz among investors. It’s a shame though that they were not able to add AP due to a malfunction with the PIN reset option. A solution was however put forward by the admin in the latest mass email sent today:
“Reset Transaction Pin
For those investors who are unable to reset Pin, Please send us a support Ticket along with your Username & Alertpay account so that the same will be updated in Master file.”

You can read more about ROICredit in my detailed review published here. But in a nutshell ROICredit launched over a month ago and is offering an investment plan paying a fixed daily interest rate which depends on the amount of money invested (starting from $10) – 3%-4% for 60 days. Note that these returns will not include your original principal which is returned on expiry.

CFDONLINE – LIBERTYRESERVE GLITCHES

The admin of CFDonline Stevan sent an email today reporting a temporary glitch in the LibertyReserve payment interface failing to make instant withdrawals which the program has been providing usually to both LR and PM for two months now. Well, when I made a withdrawal I noticed nothing unusual and it was made instantly as always. So I hope that by the time you read this everything has been fixed:
“CFDonline Updates Libertyreserve
Dear investor,
Since last night instant withdrawal seems to fail every second time of requesting. We did not make any changes in the server so I assume the problem lay with Libertyreserve’s API server failing receive the data correct. However a clever member gave me a good advice I will pass on. It is possible to delete the pending request from member area and request one more time to complete the withdrawal instantly.
I opened a support ticket at host to see if any optimizing can be done. Meanwhile to problem is solved, the pending payments left will be proceeded by me several times a day.
Kindly regards, Stevan Brady
Admin CFDonline”.

Just to remind you of the investment plans CFDonline is offering, for a $10 minimum investment they include – 1% daily forever (optional principal back after 180 days), 1.5% for 30 days, 2% for 60 days, 2.5% for 90 days (principal back on expiry of the last three plans). To read more on the investment plans and CFDonline other features please refer to my review of the program posted here.

MONEYERA – SITE NOT ACCESSIBLE, REASON UNKNOWN

This morning I noticed MoneyEra was offline and at the time of writing is still unavailable. And it’s not just me either as many others cannot access the site or request a payout. I mailed Alexandre the admin earlier but unfortunately didn’t hear from him yet. Perhaps the site has some hosting issues and unable to receive my messages because his email account is located on the program’s server. I really hope that MoneyEra will be back soon or at least I hope that the admin will update us. For the time being I have to move MoneyEra to Waiting status on MNO but will update the status as soon as I hear more news.
