17/12/2012. Daily News from the Industry

Hello everyone! With not so much news going on in the HYIP industry during coming up to the holidays you’ll have noticed I don’t post every day. Today however there is a couple of updates to catch up with since the weekend weekend, plus I want to update my polls and introduce a newly added program from my Premium list which I’ll be reviewing tomorrow. So let’s start with the news.

PROSPERANOVA – INTERNAL E-CURRENCY EXCHANGE AVAILABLE

Following the series of the educational articles on the HYIP industry the admin of ProsperaNova Darren (read my interview with him here) finally decided to treat his investors to an update on the program’s performance which other admins usually issue on a more regular basis. Slowly but surely its become more and more popular every day paying 2% daily for a 365 day term on business days only and returning your principal on expiry. For more than three months on the MNO Premium List ProsperaNova has moved up to #7 on my listing. Darren’s most recent new feature that was mentioned in today’s newsletter from ProsperaNova (reviewed here) is an internal e-currency exchange for members. Exchange rates can change from time to time to reflect the needs of the program and help them pay everyone without delays. LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, EgoPay, and SolidTrustPay are the payment processors in use, and deposits can start from $1. You can read the latest newsletter from ProsperaNova below and I’ll be looking forward to more educational articles from Darren soon:

“ProsperaNova: Newsletter
We recently received an e-mail from one of our investors stating the following: “I like to read your newsletters as they are full of information and I always pick up something new. What I would also like to see in them is more stuff about your program. About its development, where it is heading and similar.”
Truth be told, most of our newsletters didn’t cover us and our program. We have a simple reason for doing that. Everything is on track and going good here. In this case we could use the old saying that no news is good news.
As you all very well know, the profit is stable, we are processing withdraws well below our 24h limit and we respond to all tickets quite fast.
And we promise we will do our best to keep everything as it is.
Also, we are going to stop bragging now. We will leave it to you, our investors. Of course, if you believe we have earned that. And we do believe that most of you, if not all, are quite pleased with our work, demonstrated by the constantly growing number of our investors, in the thousands now, even with us spending very little on advertising. Most of our members actually come to us over referral links.
We are slowly becoming the leading online investment program. And we owe thanks to all of you for that. Without you, we would be nowhere. Thank you.
And with that we bring another newsletter to a close, just a little update left. In your members area you should be able to see a new link – exchange funds. After many members asked, we decided to implement that functionality. Now you can do an exchange between processors before doing a withdraw. We would just like to note that you should pay attention to the exchange rates.
Thank you for your trust.
Best Regards,
ProsperaNova Support”.

NUBCOYU – FRIDAY NEWSLETTER ISSUED

Nubcoyu (reviewed here) is another program whose updates I look forward to reading every week, as it gives us a glance not only at the program’s performance, but also on the admin’s multiple business ventures and personal life that’s bursting with spectacular events and is truly entertaining. The admin Nubcoyu (interviewed here) named the program after himself and set an interest rate of 1.4% for the duration of 200 business days via LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, SolidTrustPay, or EgoPay from a $10 minimum. I guess he’s been busier than usual as his regular Friday update was only sent on Sunday and was much shorter than usual. The latest masterpiece from Nubcoyu can be read below:

“Nubcoyu Friday Issue 10 (14/12/2012)
Dear Valued Investors,
Good evening! Christmas is approaching us all and I hope you’re having good times! It’s been quite a busy week, especially for me!
This week is kinda quiet, but we’ll
Nubcoyu Website Updates
We have no updates for this session, although we do have some interesting news.

A new surprise coming to you all soon as a new update to our Facebook Fan Page is coming! More Facebook contests, hangouts and activities will be held and more interactive media will be presented.

Nubcoyu Business
1) The Approaching Christmas Boosts Our Anime Figmas and Doody Goods Sales!
Christmas, the festival of giving and love brings forth a great boost of sales in our figure mates sales, including gifts for him an gifts for her, such as necklaces, dolls, vases and pretty accessories. It’s something to be expected during this time of the year, isn’t it?
2) Nubcoyu Goods
Some of our clients suggested we make our own goods, for example Nubcoyu T-shirts and cups. We’ll have a look into that.
Nubcoyu Everyday
1) Nubcoyu visiting Yamanashi Pawana Temple
I’d like to take time to relax myself along with my friends and colleagues, so I’ve decided to visit Yamanashi Pawana Temple. I’ve joined meditation, had fun eating Thai foods and finally released some fish into the river for our new year’s merits. It’s been great fun today and amazingly, the usual temperate of 7 – 10 degrees has risen to 18 today. Maybe the power of merit?
2) Miyako Planning On Going On A Date
I’ve got nothing more to say, but to let my daughter grow on her own. She said she’s going on a date with her new sweetheart to Kofu Castle, an old and traditional cultural remains of our prefecture. Well, it’s not like she’s going to a bar, isn’t it?
I’m sorry for those expecting more for this week, but there isn’t much to report. Things are progressing slowly and fluidly. I sincerely hope we’re not going to run into any more glitches, and hope everyone a profitable Christmas!
Regards, Nubcoyu Umezawa”.

GUARANTEEDPROFIT – LOTTERY FOR INVESTORS

After two and a half months online and stable payouts to investors in several investment plans with principal return on expiry – 1.5% for 15 days, 1.8% for 30 days, 2.2% for 60 days, 2.8% for 90 days – the admin of GuaranteedProfit has decided to run a lottery to increase awareness of the program before Christmas. Exclusively for that purpose another domain was created and the admin announced some cash prizes as well as the main prize of an iPhone for investors with at least a $10 deposit via SolidTrustPay, EgoPay, PerfectMoney, or LibertyReserve. So, if you are an active investor in GuaranteedProfit (reviewed here) and wish to participate then register your interest on the special page with your email, username in the program and the confirmation number for your deposit. Good luck and I hope you win something:

“Hello! On the eve of the new year like getting presents!
Our company specially for you, dear investors, opened the Christmas lottery site – www.gp-christmas-lottery.com
Participate and win cash prizes, as well as the main prize of iPhone 5!
Best Regards,
Team GuaranteedProfit”.

PLATINUMVERTEX – FIRST INVESTORS IN PROFIT

Good news from the admin of PlatinumVertex (reviewed here) is that the very first investors who put $1 or more in the 4.5%-6% for 40 business days via SolidTrustPay, PerfectMoney, LibertyReserve, and EgoPay have now reached their break-even point and are seeing a well deserved profit. PlatinumVertex has been online for slightly over a month and only 20 days on MNO. I can’t say that the program is particularly popular among readers and I’m unsure if that’s because of the lack of advertising or the usual pre Christmas slowdown, but I can say that if the admin continues the way he’s going then PlatinumVertex has a good chance to take off in 2013. I can’t see it topping my list just yet, but I wish the admin good luck in getting there The latest newsletter from PlatinumVertex is below:

“A New Milestone
Good day to All PlatinumVertex Members!
First and foremost, we would like to say hello and wish all our wonderful members in PlatinumVertex a happy new business week! Let us hope and pray that this week will be as fruitful as always with any other past weeks we have had here.
I am in such an overwhelming joy right now because finally WE HAVE PROVEN to all that PlatinumVertex IS SUCH A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM! All of our early bird investors from all the investment plans ARE NOW IN ABSOLUTE PROFIT!
In this such momentous time, I cannot help but look back at how we have started. We have to admit that at the start of the program, it did not turn out to be the 100% perfection scenario I have envisioned PlatinumVertex can be. Despite multiple test runs and trial and errors, the launching still had some minor issues. There was even a point wherein I had to wake up at 2 PM because I received a call regarding some members being unable to register, or having problems accessing the website, or some members not being able to deposit.
Little by little we addressed every issues MENTIONED by our members. We listened to each and every minor details and feedback from them and improved PlatinumVertex. Issues were resolved in a very fast and efficient manner. I AM SURE YOU KNOW WHAT I AM MEAN BY FAST AND EFFICIENT ISSUE RESOLUTION from PlatinumVertex because you guys have first-handedly experienced it.
The point of me mentioning all of these today is because I want to express my sincerest gratitude to everyone. The success of the program DID NOT come from us administration or support team but from YOU. YOU GUYS have made all of these things possible! So if you have some concerns, comments or suggestions of HOW WE CAN IMPROVE PlatinumVertex, we are here to listen and CREATE THE IMPOSSIBLE TO A REALITY!
Although we all cannot see each other in person, we would like for you to raise a glass for us all as we toast to a wonderful, successful and blessed PlatinumVertex!
Geother. CEO PlatinumVertex
PS. Christmas Events Week 3: Best Christmas Tree Event is officially open. Please send your entries to platinumvertex.general@gmail.com”.

SOLIDTRUSTPAY – PHISHING EMAIL WARNING

I must admit that I’m well used to getting all types of phishing emails from someone pretending from LibertyReserve, but have recently started getting them from someone impersonating SolidTrustPay and EgoPay as well. They contain the usual requests to “verify” your account by following a special link which in actual fact just takes you to a page that will steal your password. As SolidTrustPay (read my interview with its CEO Stella here) recently posted on their official blog, the administration will never ask you to submit sensitive information and any attempt to do so should be treated as criminal fraud. Remember to be responsible for online security, and please be extremely cautious when it comes to dealing with payment processors as it’s your money we are talking about. The poor standard of English used by these particular scammers should also alert you and make you rightfully suspicious of which STP also warned of (please read this post carefully for your own good!):

“PHISHING EMAIL ALERT
ATTENTION – an email is circulating asking you to click on a link to update your information. The link goest to a website that looks like SolidTrust Pay. WARNING – this is a phishing email ! Do NOT click on the link or if you do, do not provide any information.
A reminder that SolidTrust will never ask you to provide sensitive security information in an email, or on a form outside of your own, protected SolidTrust account.
CLUES – if you are uncertain about any email from us, view the long headers to see exactly where the email is coming from. Also, check the language for any grammar, spelling or other obvious non-English usages. Phishing emails always contain poor English so that is an excellent clue that someone is trying to steal your information.”

AUSTRALIANBUSINESSGROUP – DOMAIN SUSPENDED AND TEMPORARY URL TO ACCESS

Please note that the domain of AustralianBusinessGroup was suspended over the weekend and I don’t have any additional information from the admin yet. I guess it will possibly take some time to recover the current domain or register a new one and transfer the site there. You can access the site temporarily though at this URL and request your payout, although I wouldn’t recommend further investments until the domain issue is fully resolved. That might be either another obstacle created by jealous competitors (as AustralianBusinessGroup is a very successful project paying since May 2012) or could be the beginning of the end. I’ll watch the situation closely and will update you as soon as I have any further information.

MNO TALKBACK – LATEST RESULTS FROM MNO READERS OPINION POLL, NEW POLLS ADDED

And finally for today’s news update I want to give you the results of the two most recent reader’s opinion polls which as you might know by now are a regular feature on the MNO TalkBack page. Partially just for fun, and partially for genuine information purposes, I try to put two individual questions to this blog’s readership on a frequent enough basis. One of these is related to the HYIP industry and your experiences and opinions of it, and another question that’s more on a personal level. So the latest set of questions asked first of all what your plans are for the Christmas holidays, and then asked about your investment strategies during the month of December.

So starting with you’re all getting up to for the holidays, it seems to be a mixed bag with 12% of you letting your hair down and partying with your friends, and the same number of you taking a vacation. Almost a quarter of you are going to be working over the holidays as stated by 24% of you. I’d be tempted to offer my commiserations on that but you know having a paying job to occupy your day, whether it’s Christmas Day or not, is no real reason to complain. But the overwhelming majority of readers, 52% in fact, intend spending the holidays with their families. Of course working on the net as I do with my own business in MNO means that I myself get to do all four of those things!

On a more serious note, I think we all know and accept by now that the online HYIP industry slows down for a number of weeks at this time every year. The reasons why are enough for a full article completely, but what do investors themselves generally do before business picks up again in January? Well, a full 21% of you take a complete break from the industry, and halt all new investments. The biggest number, 37% of you, do stay in the business but adopt a very cautious approach and become much more discriminating about what programs you do decide to join and go for what you believe will be sure fire hits. A further 31% of readers are even more cautious again, staying in the industry but only with established programs with a pre-existing track record. And finally a slowdown doesn’t mean a standstill, with the remaining 11% of readers carrying on as usual the same as they do throughout the rest of the year. I’m guessing that a lot of people choosing that option would tend to go more towards longer term programs in the first place, which are of course less affected by the holidays and less likely to be set up purely as fast scams for the admin like shorter term programs so often are.

And so we come to a new set of questions which I do hope you find interesting. Interesting enough to participate anyway! So on a more personal level I want to start with this:
Where in the world do you come from? Are you from A) Europe B) Asia C) Australia D) Africa E) South America F) North America.

Also, on a more professional level, how was the last calendar year for you in the HYIP industry financially? I’m not talking about profit and loss in one individual program now, I mean your experience in trying to earn a profit online for the entire year of 2012? So the exact question will be:
What profit did you get from HYIPs on your investment for 2012?
A) I’m at a loss B) I think I just about broke even C) I made a small profit, maybe 20% or less D) I made a decent profit, 21% to 50% E) I made a significant profit, maybe 51% to 99% F) I did better than that, doubling my money or better.

You can vote in either poll on the MNO TalkBack page, as well as view the results, so I hope you find this interesting and will participate.

INTRODUCTION OF USDTRADING

A newly launched program called UsdTrading has become the last addition to MNO’s Premium Listing today. The program offers interest from 7% to 9% for 30 business days depending on your deposit which can start from a $10 minimum via LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, SolidTrustPay, and EgoPay.

More information on UsdTrading will be in the upcoming review on MNO after I confirm payments. Stay tuned for that, guys!
