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

Hi everyone! For the second update on MNO today I have another admin interview, this time with Serge, who’s been responsible for what I can only describe as one of the most remarkable and phenomenal programs to hit the short term side of the HYIP industry in recent times. That program is of course Gesmie (an acronym of “Global Electronic System of Mass Instant Earnings”, though that’s a whole other story!). If you’ve been following the fortunes of Gesmie on my blog then I guess it’s no secret that I’ve been a huge fan of both the program and its admin. Indeed Serge is definitely the only type of admin I actually like dealing with – no nonsense, knows exactly what he’s doing, all business and nothing personal, totally in control of the program, and of course totally up-front about the business he’s running with no deception about the true nature of online HYIPs. You do have to appreciate someone who treats adults like adults, and respects his investors enough not to hide the risks from them. The high risk doesn’t seem to outweigh the potential rewards, and it seems to be a chance worth taking for an ever expanding number of players. Just how much further Serge can take Gesmie is anyone’s guess, but no one can deny it’s been a great success no matter what happens next. Anyway, before we hear from him let me just remind you that Gesmie offers some very unique plans of 105% in 24 hours (single payment on expiry), 150% in 5 days (credited hourly), and 240% in 10 days (credited per second). If you like what the admin has to say and would like a more detailed explanation of exactly how those plans work, then check out the review of Gesmie first published on MNO here:

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

Hello, my name is Serge and I’m the leader of our team. There are 2 other members in our team: Mark (main developer) and Dmitry (PR and promoting). Of course this is not our first program and I suppose not the last one. We work in this industry for about 2 years and have a lot of experience that we put in Gesmie. We have created several programs in the past, I think some people have recognized our hand when Gesmie was started.

2. Can you also give us some background history on Gesmie? 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?

Every program is a challenge for us. We always try to do our best with stability, features and customers support. I prefer to think that our investors appreciate our efforts. We put all industry experience to this program and combine it with our way of thinking. We took care of everything from the name of our new program and ending with the powerful and flexible script.

3. Explain in detail the plans you are offering investors. What are the minimum and maximum amounts to spend? What payment processors are you currently dealing with?

There are 3 investment plans in our project. I don’t want to focus on describing them. We have this information at our site, at our FAQ and you wrote about our investment plans in your review earlier. Minimum deposit amount is $1, maximum is $10000. Any investor can make as many deposits as he wants. We currently dealing with Perfect Money, EgoPay and SolidTrust Pay. OKPay will back soon as well.

4. Can you tell us about the payment schedule for withdrawals? I said in my review that instant withdrawals are crucial for a program like Gesmie. Is this the case, under what circumstances might they not be instant, and if this happens what do members need to do?

Gesmie have no such thing as payment schedule. You can withdraw at any time of any day of the week as soon as you’ll accumulate necessary available to withdraw amount, which is $1 for EgoPay and $0.5 for other PPs. Each withdrawal processed instantly, you don’t need to wait it at all. The only thing that can lead to pending withdrawal at Gesmie is payment processors API outages.

5. Most HYIPs will either absorb the charges by payment processors themselves, or at least factor it into their plans. Why does Gesmie pass the charges directly to its members and do you think it might make the program less attractive to investors who haven’t decided to join yet?

I think it’s pretty fair because we pay fee when investors transfers money to us. We’d like to be trustfully and honest to our users. Honest not always means generous or wasteful. I would recommend investors who cares about PPs fees to use Perfect Money because of their lowest fee in the market.

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

I can spend hours talking about it. Our program is very secure and well coded. We use only proved, rock stable software and apply the best security practices all the time. We have always keep an eye on all major security mailing lists and keep our software up-to-date.

Surely we use SSL connection, dedicated server and DDoS protection. Who don’t? I thought it’s became a standard hundreds years ago.

We have a unique bulletproof script which takes care of SQL injections, XSS and CSRF attacks etc. We have total control of source code of our project as well as our dedicated server. We don’t use hosting admin services as well as control panels like cPanel which can be a possible attack vector.

7. Can you tell readers about your script, such as where you got it, how safe is it, and why you think it’s the best option for you as an admin to run the program from?

As I answered in the previous question it’s pretty safe. We use fast and powerful enterprise development tools. Script is totally ours, build by ourselves from scratch. I always said that the best way to build something good is to use open source technologies combined with self developed solutions. We use both of them.

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

We keep in secret our advertising methods of course. We always use new ways to promote our program and always try to get a new investors who wasn’t previously involved in industry, I think it’s our main goal.

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 think our program is pretty successful right now, but it’s just the beginning! We’re getting more and more investors every day. At this time I feel satisfied about our growth rate. We have an open turnover stats, I mean you can check EVERY deposit or withdrawal as well as referral bonuses or investors amount. We don’t try to hide anything from you.

Months? I expect that we can survive for another month or so, I have no delusions about that.

10. What kind of customer support do you offer members? How can they contact you if they have any issues with their investments? Do you offer telephone or e-mail support?

We offer 24/7 skype, email and facebook support. All contact links are at feedback page. We always answer to any request and there is no problem our support service can’t solve.

11. I see that the Gesmie website is available in both English and Russian, but do you have customer support in both languages if members write to you in Russian?

Yes, we provide support in both languages.

12. You’ve been quite honest about the fact that Gesmie is basically an online money pyramid scheme, which personally I think is admirable. So as an admin can you share some of your own thoughts on the online HYIP industry, share any tips share any tips for good investments with newbies, and tell us realistically how long you thing Gesmie can run for and why?

Thank you. I think that HYIP admins shouldn’t consider their investors as idiots. That’s my entire point, I believe that industry is smart enough to take truth about HYIPs. HYIP is like a game, but with honest admins this game don’t cheat at you.

Main tip: do not invest more than you’re ready to lose.

13. And finally is there anything you feel not covered in this interview that you think the readers of MNO should be aware of? Also please feel free to comment on the review of Gesmie and explain if you feel there was anything mistaken, unfair, or in any way in need of correction there.

I think this interview will be a good addition to our FAQ. I like to read interviews myself and I think that your visitors like them too. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with my (future) investors!”

Well, that’s about all for today everyone. I hope you enjoyed reading and want to just finish up by wishing the best of luck to everyone involved, admin and investors alike, with Gesmie and hope it continues to be as profitable as possible for as long as possible. I’ll see you all again tomorrow with a closer look at another of the new programs that’s just been added to my monitor plus any news stories from the industry worth reporting. So stay tuned for that and see you all then!
