19/10/2012. Interview with the Admin of AgroFinance

Hello all!I’ll have two updates for you on MNO today as I have quite a bit to get through over the weekend still (which I do hope you’re looking forward to by the way!). I want to start with a pretty short but to the point interview with the admin of AgroFinance, a mostly short term program that’s been running for the last 11 days. There are also some longer term options but please check out my review of AgroFinance first published here to see that these might be best avoided. The shorter term plans have been OK up until now though, with plenty of cycles completed for some of them and hopefully a couple more left in the tank yet. It’s unpredictable but that’s pretty much the nature of the HYIP industry anyway and everything’s a gamble. The admin’s name is Richard and while I wouldn’t find myself in agreement with much of what he says here personally, at the end of the day AgroFinance is paying its members right up to the time of writing this so that’s the only important point that we do actually need to agree on. So let’s hear what he has to say.

“1. Hi Richard, please introduce yourself to the readers of MNO and tell us please about your own involvement in AgroFinance. What is your role in the day to day running of the program?

Hello everyone! My name is Richard and I’m the founder of AgroFinance. Together with a team of people working in agricultural management we decided to create an investment fund based on the agricultural real estates business. Personally, I have several years experience in the management of agricultural real estate and I would like to share it with others, so I invite you all to look at our agricultural investment fund.

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

Yes, of course. Our company employs a total of 79 people – from real estate analysts, to computer technicians, and field representatives and advisors. We are only online about two weeks, however we look forward to rapid growth. Currently the statistics show after nine days we have nearly 3,500 registered users, and our site at any given time is visited by about 3000 people.

3. Explain the investment plans in detail to us. What ROIs are on offer. What are the minimum and maximum amounts to invest? What payment options are you currently accepting?

We have 8 regular investment plans, and 4 special offers. In our special plan, you can earn up to 8888% after 88 days. We offer short-term plans that start from just one day all the way up to some lasting for 64, 72 or 88 days. The minimum investment amount is $10 and the maximum is $100,000. We accept most popular payment methods such as LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and EgoPay. All other information is available by logging in to your AgroFinance account.

4. How secure is the website of AgroFinance? 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?

In my opinion the technical side of the project is admirable. So far we haven’t had any major problems with attacks on our website. It is well protected from both the software and excellent technical team, which constantly monitors the traffic on the site and has a sort of emergency response unit. The team of technicians works 24 hours a day, so there is no reason for concern, since money entrusted to us is completely safe. We have special dedicated server and in our opinion the best hosting. We are ready to have a occasion to meet hackers.

5. What kind of script is AgroFinance running off? Where did you get it, how safe is it, and why do you think this one is most beneficial for you as an admin and your members?

We have a dedicated script adapted to our needs. It was modified by our computer techs and checked by an external auditing company. We believe that it’s simple and intuitive for our investors, but on the other hand clear and easy to manage for the administration.

6. Can we see any statistics regarding AgroFinance? 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?

Yes, of course. Current statistics are presented on the website. Like I said before, currently we have about 3,500 active investors and so far we are pleased to be working with them. They provide us with many valuable comments which allow to even further customize our system to meet their needs. New investors are a very important element in our business plan, as they provide new capital which is needed to make new investments and reap ever greater profits.

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

Currently you can contact our Support Center via the contact form which can be found in the “Support” tab on our website. In the future we intend to enable Live Chat and Telephone Support to contact with us was even easier at any time of day or night.

8. 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?

For now these do not occur. As for the frequently asked questions we encourage users to read the FAQ section where you can find answers to those.

9. How have you been promoting AgroFinance so far? What advertising strategy have you been using? How are you getting new members to join?

We mostly use monitors. Generally they contact us but we study what they offer us and what they can do to promote us, and then we choose the best of them. I think we can attract investors by very favorable offers and stable and safe business plan.

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

Investors’ money is invested in the management of agricultural land. More about our work can be read on our website in the “About us” page, something I would really urge investors to look at.

11. And finally is there anything else you wish to say not covered in this interview? Also please feel free to comment on the review of your program published on MNO. If there was anything you felt was unfair, mistaken, or in any way in need of clarification then you are welcome to explain this in your own words here.

No, not really. In short I will be brief: just wish us luck!”

And there you have it. Short and to the point like I said. So good luck to AgroFinance and of course good luck to any existing members and potential members reading this and still thinking about taking a chance on them. I hope this interview was at least in some way useful to you in helping you make up your mind one way or another as to whether AgroFinance is really a useful supplement to your existing portfolios or not. Guess it really depends on what your expectations from it are.

Anyway, that’s it for the moment. I’m pretty busy for the rest of the evening but I’ll be back around the usual time tonight with a full news round-up from all the programs covered on the MNO monitor plus a closer look at one of its most recent additions. Bye for now and see you all then!
