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

Hi everyone! Well it’s the end of a pretty slow week in the HYIP industry as regards news stories so I don’t expect things will be picking up all that much over the weekend, which incidentally I know is going to be a holiday for many of you so I hope you’re looking forward to that and make the best of it. Despite the lack of news stories though there seems to be no shortage of new programs opening up, some being better than others, but hopefully one or two out there that suit your needs. So before moving on to the news for this evening I want to look at one program called EuroStar which just launched a couple of days ago.

Getting started as we usually do with the reason anyone would be interested in EuroStar in the first place – the investment plans – EuroStar has three of them. You can become a member for a $10 minimum deposit which is about the industry average these days. That much gets you into their first plan which runs for a term of 16 calendar days and makes daily interest payments of 3.25% per day. That doesn’t actually put you in profit by the time the plan expires, so this only happens when EuroStar return your principal as promised. So the payments add up to 52% which is your own net profit once your initial principal is added to it.

To put that in simple monetary terms, we’ll say you spend $100 on this plan. EuroStar should repay you $3.25 every day for sixteen consecutive days. This comes to $52 by the end of the term at which point we’re hoping you own original hundred will be added to that and put you into profit. EuroStar have no stated maximum investment for this, or indeed any of their other plans.

The second plan works more or less the same way, just with different numbers. The term is extended to 32 calendar days for example, and the minimum cost of joining jumps to $50. In return for that however EuroStar are offering an improved interest rate of 4.25% per day. With no upper limit to what you can spend, this eventually adds up to 136% in total interest payments (you break even after 24 days) at which point EuroStar should add your principal on top of that.

And lastly for anyone prepared to take a chance with at least a $100 minimum deposit, the third plan sees EuroStar offer 4.75% interest every day with no upper limit on how much you may spend. That allows you to earn back an amount equal to your original investment 22 days into the term, which actually runs for 48 calendar days in total. Total interest repayments should add up to 228% by then, at which point your own principal should be added to that.

The payment options are a bit disappointing to be honest, though most (not all) of the popular industry payment processors are included. EuroStar are currently accepting deposits through EgoPay, PerfectMoney, and LibertyReserve. It might be expanded in the future, I really don’t know, but currently there’s nothing to suggest that it will. Payments to members are handled manually by the admin, and so will need to be requested from inside your private EuroStar members account area. Once you’ve done this you will be required to allow anything up to a further 24 hour maximum for all transactions to be fully completed. Smaller investors take note that there’s a minimum withdrawal requirement of $1 per transaction.

Moving on to the design and security aspects of the program, EuroStar improves significantly when it comes to their hosting provider. EuroStar are hosted on a dedicated server with the support and protection by BlockDos who are universally acknowledged as the number one provider (in what is admittedly a pretty short list) of hosting companies prepared to work with HYIP related websites. It does nothing to protect your investment obviously as it’s got nothing to do with them, but you can at least be reasonably sure that downtime and DDoS attacks won’t really be a serious issue for EuroStar. The program is running off a script under license from GoldCoders. In addition to that the EuroStar website has an extra layer of security with SSL encryption by Comodo for safer browsing and more secure transactions. Any further questions for the admin or account related issues can be addressed to the admin by filling in the online customer support form and submitting it through the support page. EuroStar also has a built-in Live Chat support feature which although I do know works as I’ve seen it online can tell you it’s not a 24 hour service and doesn’t seem to be online very long. For what might be a more personal approach however EuroStar are another program with a list of regional representatives. You’ll find a list of names, e-mail addresses, and their telephone numbers on the website so there’s a chance there might be some one available in your own country. Other than that there’s a postal address included for the program as well, though these things are generally best ignored as they’re usually virtual serviced offices for correspondence purposes but not where you’d find anyone connected with the program physically located.

Despite having the same name as the international train service, the EuroStar website claims the program to be involved with ForEx trading. It might have at least been more interesting had they pretended to be a railway company as neither version is true. Texts, and there isn’t even very much of them, are a straight copy/paste from older HYIP websites. So for the sake of anyone new to the industry don’t start treating EuroStar as anything other than a an online HYIP, totally anonymous, and a high risk gamble. If you don’t have a problem with any of that are are happy to take the risk, then just remember to set yourself an affordable spending limit that you’ll stick to and won’t affect you badly if you lost it, and of course if joining EuroStar at all then try and keep them as a smaller part of a more varied and diverse portfolio.

DAILY NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY

MONEYFERRY – STP ACCESS ISSUE REPORTED AND RESOLVED

The admin of MoneyFerry admitted himself today that he was not able to login to his SolidTrustPay account due to a technical fault. As SolidTrustPay is definitely the most popular payment processor in the HYIP industry, especially among high rolling players, any issues with it could negatively influence the potential lifetime of any program. MoneyFerry (reviewed here) was able to fix the problem and the admin managed to login to his account as I received another payment today to my SolidTrustPay account on the 12% for 12 days plan – the only investment plan available with deposits accepted also via EgoPay, PerfectMoney, and LibertyReserve. Here’s the newsletter from MoneyFerry‘s admin on that:

“SolidTrustPay
We have emailed SolidTrustPay and will call them tomorrow as well, as we cannot access our SolidTrustPay account due to an error that pops up when trying to get the auth code email. It will say our IP address is different and says the auth code has been emailed to us. Though at the top of it, this message is posted: “Mailer Error: The following From address failed: noreply@solidtrustpay.com”
This is probably why we have not received any auth code email.
Thank You, MoneyFerry.”

Just before I was about to publish today’s news update I received confirmation from the admin confirming that everything had been fixed with MoneyFerry‘s STP account:

“SolidTrustPay Fixed
Thank you for waiting. SolidTrustPay fixed the glitch with their email server and we were able to access our account. All SolidTrustPay withdrawals that were waiting have been paid.
Thank You. MoneyFerry.”

AUSTRALIANBUSINESSGROUP – NO PROFIT CREDITED ON MAY 6

As you might know from my original review of AustralianBusinessGroup published here, the program has been paying since May 2012 (almost a full year now) and the current investment plans include 1% for 15 business days, 1.4% for 30 business days, 1.8% for 55 business days, 2.2% for 80 business days all with the original principal returned on expiry. Till recently AustralianBusinessGroup worked exclusively with LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney payment processors, but recently added SolidTrustPay as a third option. The minimum figure required to join AustralianBusinessGroup is only $1 so the program is very affordable to a budget of any investor. Today it was announced (in very poor English for an “Australian” I must say!) that the first Monday of the month will be taken as a holiday and marks the right to an 8-hour working day being won by the workers in that country. I myself have no doubt that AustralianBusinessGroup‘s connection with Australia exists entirely within the admin’s imagination, but they remember all the official holidays where they can save some money by not paying investors. Many of the programs similar to AustralianBusinessGroup paying on business days only will also use this holiday as a perfect excuse to skip the payouts. AustralianBusinessGroup is certainly no exception, as here is the latest short update notifying members about it:

“8 Hours Day
May 6, we do not work. AustralianBusinessGroup Celebrates National Day “8 Hours Day”. Profit on deposits will not.”

BRISCOFUND, MONEYINSPORTS, PAYPAYREV – ATTACKED BY DDOSERS

Three programs from the Premium listing on MNO were under huge DDoS attack today. They are BriscoFund, MoneyInSports and PayPayRev. As of now I cannot load any of them. I assume that the admins will have to think hard about improving their current hosting providers. I would suggest BlockDos which provide a decent hosting but also the best protection against attacks which I also use for MNO. I mean I was informed of a big attack on my own site today as well, but I never even noticed it because it was mitigated so fast by BlockDos. I know that such attacks can be ordered by the competitors of such programs which is small consolation for the members who are the ones who suffer the most. Please note that I will still leave BriscoFund, MoneyInSports and PayPayRev on Paying status on my monitor for now, but if they don’t reappear by tomorrow I will have to change their status, as the longer a HYIP site is offline the more difficult and unlikely the recovery. Anyway, I will try to get in touch with the admins of BriscoFund, MoneyInSports, and PayPayRev and hopefully, I will be able to give you at least some updates from them by tomorrow, when I will decide on their possible status on the MNO monitor. Please stay tuned for that, and if you want to hear the latest news don’t forget to check out my blog

LUXURYLIFE INTRODUCTION

LuxuryLife is the latest program to purchase Premium listing on MNO monitor tonight. It’s a new short-term program that just launched yesterday. LuxuryLife accepts SolidTrustPay, PerfectMoney, and LibertyReserve starting from $10 in several investment plans. Among them one of them makes daily payments of 39%-45% for 3 days – and four others pay on expiry – 120%-200% after 3 days, 137%-500% after 5 days, 230%-999% after 15 days, 350%-2699% after 25 days. In my opinion the first plan is less risky as you will get paid daily and is only slightly less profitable than the 3-day on expiry paying plan with a significantly reduced level of risk involved. As LuxuryLife is running off a licensed GoldCoders script you have to submit a withdrawal requests manually from your account which will then get processed by the admin within a maximum 16 hour timeframe. The LuxuryLife website looks ok, with SSL-encryption by Comodo in place and hosting on a dedicated server with DDoS protection provided by Koddos. More on that will be in a more detailed review coming next week.
