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

Hello everybody! This has been a week I guess most of us would prefer to forget in the HYIP industry, so I hope you’re all looking forward to the weekend and taking a couple of days away from it all. Don’t worry, the owners of LibertyReserve will still be in a jail cell come Monday morning so not much is going to change there. It’s not all been doom and gloom in the HYIP world however, and I must say that some admins are adapting remarkably well to the recent events. One of them is Ron Howards, the admin of RonWards which has been an absolutely astounding performer since launching over two months ago. You might not think this is a long time, but when you remember what RonWards are offering – plans that pay 103%-125% after 1 day, 53.5%-70% for 2 days, 118%-300% after 5 days, 145%-500% after 10 days, 225%-1000% after 20 days, 400%-1500% after 30 days – then the achievement really comes into perspective I think.

It’s pretty impressive alright, and I don’t think Ron is ready to stop there. He just recently extended his advertising banner on MNO for another full month, so whether it works out for him or not is one thing but that would definitely seem to be his intention. So tonight I’m pleased to be finishing off the business week with the following interview with Ron, where he shares some of the facts and some of his own opinions on the program and its undeniable success, plus some insightful thoughts you may find interesting on the wider HYIP arena. Before we get to it let me just give you a quick reminder that if you like what the admin has to say and would like some further information then a more detailed description of RonWards was first published in the MNO review that you can read here:

“1. Hi Ron, please introduce yourself to the readers of MNO and tell us a bit about your own involvement in RonWards. Is this your first online venture? What other experience do you have in this Industry?

Hello Paul and hi to all MNO readers. My name is Ron Howards and at least some of you probably know that I am the administrator of Ron Howards Investment Group or RonWards. Yes, I do consider this as my first online venture but definitely is not my first venture if you factor-in the offline ventures as well. If you are pertaining to the investment industry then my experience is vast. Those who emailed me and asked for more information have given enough information on what dealings we do at RonWards. I have been in the investment field for over a decade now and my father has been in the investment industry for as far as I can remember. So you can say that I am very experienced in this industry.

2. Can you also give us some background history on RonWards? Why did you decide to open your own program and what are you expecting to achieve by this? Are you alone or do you have a business partner or assistant?

Over a year ago, one of our offline investors approached me and suggested that we expand Ron Howards Investment Group and offer our services online. I took that with a deaf ear until January 2013 came, and I received a number of e-mails suggesting the same thing. I talked with one of my colleagues and he told me that he had this idea as well so I went ahead and launched RonWards, and that is how RonWards was conceived.

As mentioned, I decided to open RonWards because of the suggestions of our investors. I am expecting that our group will grow and our investor base will increase and size and I was not disappointed at all. RonWards has grown at a rate that exceeds my expectations by a good margin.

With the online matters, I am the only one who deals with the website mostly, like making payouts, answering most tickets and working on Facebook and social networks. I do have an assistant who works in the background who helps in answering the tickets regularly.

3. What are the plans you are offering investors? What are the minimum and maximum amounts to spend? What payment processors are you currently dealing with? What is the payment schedule, ie how long from the moment I request a payment do I need to wait before actually receiving it?

We have 6 plans at RonWards. Let me list them right here:

Level One Plan – Up to 125% in 1 day
Level Two Plan – Up to 70% daily for 2 days
Level Three Plan – Up to 300% after 5 days
Level Four Plan – Up to 500% after 10 days
Level Five Plan – Up to 1000% after 20 days
Level Six Plan – Up to 1500% after 30 days

Each plan is divided into brackets and the rates will depend on your deposited amount. For more information, please login and click on the Deposit button to see the brackets and how much each bracket will pay you depending on the plan. The minimum deposit is $10 and the maximum is $30,000 for all plans.

We accept PerfectMoney, SolidTrustPay and Egopay as of the moment. Payments are made daily but could actually take up to 48 hours depending on our schedule and the number of withdrawals we have to process. But the payments are usually processed within just a few hours average. Let me notify everyone that we do not do instant withdrawal payments.

4. How would you best explain to someone who has never heard of an online program like yours before how the whole thing works? From the very first moment I decide to invest in RonWards until the time I receive my first payment, what happens? What do I need to do and what then goes on behind the scenes?

Investing with RonWards is very easy, what you actually need to do is pretty simple and straightforward. You need to create an account with us first. After which you will be able to login and make a deposit. After logging in, please click the Make Deposit button and follow the steps. Choose a plan you wish to invest in by ticking the radio button to the left of the name of the plan and scroll down and choose the payment processor you wish to use to fund that deposit. Click submit and follow the instructions. You should be forwarded to the payment processor of your choice and you will need to complete the payment for your deposit there. Once the payment has been made, you will be redirected back to RonWards where you should see your active deposit.

Once that is done, you will need only to wait for the deposit to mature. Each plan has different maturity times but please remember that maturity is counted by the minute. If you deposited on the Level One Plan – Up to 125% in 1 day, you are expected to understand that you will need to wait for a full 24 hours for your deposit to mature. If your deposit was made on May 28, 2013 at 12:00PM (Server Time) , then your deposit will mature on May 29, 2013 at 12:00PM (Server Time), give or take a minute or two.

When your deposit has matured, your return on investment will be credited to your Account Balance and is available for you to withdraw. Please know that the rates published are inclusive of the principal amount you deposited.

The moment that your deposit is activated, our investment group handles the investing part. They will take the amount and mark it as your investment from our investment fund offline, while we withdraw the deposit you made back to our investment fund offline. When your deposit matures, we then take the payout amount from our investment fund online and pay your withdrawal request. On a weekly basis we replenish our online and offline funds depending on which side of the fund needs replenishing.

5. It’s been a few weeks now since RonWards was first reviewed on MNO. Perhaps you can bring readers up to date on any changes or improvements that may have happened since then, or anything in the review that might no longer be fully up to date?

I cannot actually think of other improvements aside from the recently added Calculator, Alexa traffic stats banner on the website plus the Facebook like widget. Aside from that, what has changed is more on security and could not be seen by our investors. Liberty Reserve is no longer accepted for obvious reasons. A slight redesign was also made, with the forum button section.

6. Tell us in as much detail as possible about the security features of RonWards. Are you on a dedicated server? What measures have you taken to protect the program from DDoS attacks and malicious hackers?

RonWards is hosted on a dedicated server. We have a Thawte SSL which has a high encryption level so your connection at RonWards is 100% secured. If you can remember we suffered heavy DDOS attacks over the past months that we decided to get protected by BlockDOS.net , the same protection that your blog uses and so far we have not experienced any downtime at all. I can say that your experience with us will be well worth signing up for.

We also make sure that your experience with us is a secure one so we have in place, countless measures to ensure that all accounts and funds are safe with RonWards. Our old time investors can attest to this statement.

7. What about the script? Where did you get it from, is it licensed, and why do you feel it’s the best option for you as an admin and for the members who join?

The script is a licensed GoldCoders script which is feature packed and serves its purpose pretty well for RonWards‘s needs or requirements. Combined with our security measures and secured dedicated server, we can say that it is one of the best options we have and have no regrets using it for RonWards

8. What advertising strategy are you using to further promote RonWards among potential new investors? Are you happy with the level of support offered by existing members?

Yes I am very happy with the support that we are receiving from our investors. And this one of the reasons why we always strive to provide the best service around. We are always maintaining advertisement spots in forums, blogs, monitors and other investment related sites. We are expanding our advertisement area by further advertising in other websites and areas.

We progressively added new monitors for RonWards and are still open to add more. Exposure is what we are always after.

9. What about the success of the program overall so far? Are you pleased with the level of growth to date? Can you give us any statistics on the amount of members and the total amount deposited? What are your expectations over the coming months?

I am very pleased with the way our investors have accepted RonWards. The growth has been phenomenal for us. The statistics is public and you can view the stats on our website RonWards. With the developments and changes that we have planned over the course of the next month, expect RonWards to be better, faster loading and will more changes that will cater to all your needs to make your experience simply the best.

10. What kind of customer support do you offer members? What is the best way to contact you if we have any questions about the program?

We are using the basic support ticketing system via e-mail built-in on the script and it is serving its purpose pretty well as of now so we will keep using it. But we also use Facebook , so you can contact me by sending me a private message over there. The best way is still via e-mail so everything is archived and recorded for transparency purposes.

I might add a more sophisticated ticketing system with live chat pretty soon so watch out for that.

11. I notice that you are keeping profiles on such social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. How has this been beneficial to both RonWards and to its members? Is it more of a support/news/discussion tool or has it actually attracted new members joining directly from those profiles?

The social networking accounts have been a big impact for RonWards, as we all know Facebook and Twitter are very popular and millions of people use them daily so getting a lot of leads through this social networking giants is cost-effective, because it is FREE. It does require a lot of time and dedication thought but the turnaround is very good.

It also adds another method of communication between investors and myself. We can discuss matters more effectively and as a group on our Official Facebook Group . It is actually a tool for all trades, be it for support, news updates or even promoting RonWards to get new investors onboard. We actually have hundreds of investors who first saw RonWards on Facebook and they joined and invested.

12. With so many new programs coming online every day, what would be the one thing you would say to investors who are still undecided? What are the benefits of joining RonWards over any other program?

Clearly, our track record since March 24, 2013 is our best asset. If you value convenience and peace of mind, then you should join RonWards, no need to delay, no need to think, just see what RonWards investors have to say and you decide for yourself. Every day that passes that you are not investing with RonWards, is another day that thousands of RonWards investors profit nicely from our investment group. So why wait?

13. As you run your own program I guess its fairly safe to assume you’re also a regular player in the HYIP business. As a professional admin yourself, what advice would you offer newcomers in the online investments industry? How can we maximize our earnings in the quality programs and avoid the fast scams?

You might be surprised but I never was an online player or investor but I have been very curious of this industry, so I was a lurker for a long time and been digging information on what this industry is all about. I did a feasibility study for several months and with the suggestions I received from investors offline, I launched RonWards.

The only advice I can say is always know where you put your money. Make sure that you can sleep well at night after depositing in a program. If after depositing you do not feel at ease and cannot sleep well, then by all means, withdraw your money and leave the program. That might sound like a newbie advice but it is what I have always had in mind if I was an investors myself.

14. We mentioned already some of the recent changes that have taken place since being reviewed on MNO, but what further plans for the future do you have? In a very competitive business but only a relatively small market, how do you intend to keep RonWards “edge” over the competition, keep existing members coming back, and managing to keep growth at a steady sustainable level at the same time?

Progressive development and changes are key to success and having an edge in this industry. Advertising and promotions is also another big factor. But mainly it is always investor satisfaction that will always keep you at the top and people will keep coming back and bringing more investors with them along the way. As mentioned also in the previous entries, we will be adding a ticketing system plus a live chat feature very soon to make sure that inquiries are served much faster and more efficiently.

15. And finally, is there anything you would like to say to the readers of MNO that you feel wasn’t really covered in this interview? Anything you feel is important for everyone to know about RonWards? You may also feel free to comment on the review that was posted. Was there anything there you felt was unfair, mistaken, or in any way in need of clarification?

I always respect everyone’s comments and suggestion for our group and criticism just makes us strive to become better in what we do. I am pretty sure that this will not be the only interview you will be conducting with me so let’s save some for the next one. RonWards has a long way to go and we want to thank everyone for their support. Thank you Paul for this opportunity and may you always be blessed. Thank you RonWards investors for the support. And thank you for reading this interview.”

That’s it for tonight guys. Thanks a lot to Ron for the interview and good luck to him in keeping this excellent performer running for as long as possible. Best of luck also to the RonWards members in their endeavors to see a profit, though to be blunt there’s really no reason why you couldn’t have done so countless times over had you joined before now. I’ll be back tomorrow with a full news round up of any and all stories and events going on around the industry affecting the programs listed on my monitor, so bye for now and see you all then!

/pThat’s it for tonight guys. Thanks a lot to Ron for the interview and good luck to him in keeping this excellent performer running for as long as possible. Best of luck also to the
