25/08/2010. Pickash Update and Daily News from the Industry

Hi, guys! I can tell you that sometimes I simply enjoy reading my Shoutbox which lately has become a real hotbed of revelations and battles. Some recent events simply cannot go unmentioned as apparently somebody hidden under the username “caution” tried to start a crusade against the admin of Pickash accusing him of supposedly running such programs as ChokoMoney and InvestiHeaven in the past. Well, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was true as there are undoubtedly some similarities. However, it’s not news for me as I know for sure that most of the industry is dominated by a relatively small number of major admins who open one program after another. In my opinion, such programs (even if they are run by the same admin) should be treated absolutely differently because there could be many factors that influence their longevity, especially if they are short-term games like Pickash.

Well, anyway, let’s continue this story. This HYIP crusader probably decided to fight with another program with the easiest method at his disposal – blackmail. According to the version which the admin of Pickash Robin posted on the MNO forum (read the thread here) the guy tried to blackmail him for $1,000 in exchange for not making a complaint to AlertPay. After the refusal he simply got mad and started to spam my Shoutbox with some not very decent comments about how he hates the admin of Pickash and his new program and what he was going to do with it. Apparently this guy submitted several complaints to AlertPay which made them block the account of Pickash. So please note that from now on Pickash will be accepting only LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney. Along with the pretty useless StrictPay option which will not be much of a help anyway. I think that the coming addition of SolidTrustPay will attract some more attention to the program so I hope the admin will keep this in mind. Please read the first update from him posted on MNO forum first to understand the current situation with Pickash:
“Dear members,
A person named “caution” has been spamming Money-News-Online chat since two days ago doing all he can to bring Pickash down by his negative comments and willingness of AlertPay to block the account. I actually recieved many threats to my e-mail from this person regarding it that if I don’t pay $1000 to a particular LibertyReserve account within 24 hours, they will spam AlertPay non-stop with complaints until they block Pickash‘s account. I have no doubt in my mind they are simply administrators of another short-term program that sees Pickash as a threat to their business and try everything in their power to bring it down. And very unsurprisingly, AlertPay did what the like to do their best when such things happen, and that is suspended the account because of these complaints. Even though I sent them an e-mail with the threat I received few hours before they actually suspended it, they simply could not stand anymore with the amount of complaints from that person who probably used different accounts and e-mails to complain. It looks like few people are simply tired of this industry dedicating all their time for attempts to kill a very promising and successful program before opening their own.
So I have news to you Mr.Caution. Pickash will continue and is strong like a rock. Those who deposited via AlertPay, will receive complete refunds from AlertPay. (The funds in the account are intact). Only small referral commissions were paid via AP but the funds are 95% intact, so if you don’t receive the 100% or 95% refund from them it simply means they kept money for themselves. AlertPay has been removed as a payment option and Pickash currently continues with LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and StrictPay. Our SolidTrustPay account is still under verificiation and will be added once the verification process is completed.
Jealousy won’t hurt/kill Pickash. Nothing will. Because I will keep working everyday and doing my job by processing all the pending withdrawals once I am online and answering to all support requests as fast as I can. Complaining won’t help, because I will simply keep doing my job. People will always get paid from Pickash, and then we will see who is “finished” Mr. Caution. I hope I will get 100% support from Paul after this situation and that he can confirm that I couldn’t do anything to prevent this happening, rather than not accepting AP from the beginning, which for sure I won’t in my next program. However, Pickash continues as usual with LR, PM and SP and payments will be always processed to the members who made deposits with these payment processors. The project gets stronger and bigger everyday, and I will do everything in my power to make it the best HYIP on the Internet. Nobody will move Pickash status to “Problem” or “Scam” while it keeps paying and paying, always paying!”

As we can see jealousy and revenge are still alive and kicking in this industry and there are also many people who are trying to destroy good programs. What are their motives? This guy “Caution” said that it was because he wanted to spare everybody’s money and prevent them from scamming. However, from the email above we can see that he first blackmailed the admin of Pickash and tried to get some money off of him for silence. After all, complaining to AlertPay will only make things for those investing via this payment processor worse and now they have to wait a couple of weeks for the refunds (please file a dispute with AlertPay or submit a support ticket to get your money back if you haven’t done so yet).

The other thing that might happen that the AlertPay blockage could spell the end for the program if it happened after the first payments are processed, and could severely affect Pickash‘s cashflow like we saw many times before. According to the admin of Pickash though the discontinuing of AlertPay won’t affect the program much as the first payments are yet to be completed. And that’s all that really matters in this industry – on-time payouts. Members mostly don’t really care who is behind a program while it pays them on time and lasts for several cycles. Everybody who reads MNO should be perfectly aware that such programs like Pickash are not forever but could last for quite a long time. Provided that the admin spent a lot of advertising money and made an effort to create the program I highly doubt that he will scam before the first payouts are made. The later development of the program will mostly depend on the members’ support and the admin’s intentions, but I think he’s personally determined enough to continue Pickash and make it a success against all odds.

Anyway, tomorrow’s payouts will be crucial and possibly determine the program’s future. If the admin handles the first payouts without any hassle it might restore a certain level of confidence in investors. However, like for any short-term program Pickash will need your support and votes on the major forums and monitors once the first payouts are processed. I also hope to send some interview questions to Robin tonight and hope that he will give me some straight-forward answers as I believe he is the only that could persuade members to give him another chance after this AlertPay situation.

Of course, it was not his fault that AlertPay blocked his account due to unreasonable complaints from a jealous spammer who has apparently nothing to do in life but to “warn” everybody about something that they are already know perfectly well about and spoil the enjoyment of the game. However, this incident might also make us re-think our positive attitude to AlertPay which is while considered a very reputable and reliable payment processor, it cannot just randomly block verified accounts based simply on the groundless complaints made by one spitting cobra like “Caution” who keeps posting his nonsense under different usernames on major forums. If you want to see the real state of things in Pickash and support the admin and his program you are more than welcome to submit your votes and share your opinion in the official thread of Pickash on MNO forum where all the important newsletters are already published. And here is the latest one:
“Dear members,
Ok so now that Pickash is 100% safe with LR, PM, SP from fanatical, sick and mentally ill people like Caution that all their life is dedicated to ruining this industry, let’s finally get back to business.
Tomorrow is the first payday ever of Pickash. It is the day in which the first payouts on expiry are processed and I’m very excited about it. I have waited for this day to come so Pickash can get much more attention and grow faster and healthier daily. I only have one humble request to Pickash members. Every time after you get paid from Pickash, please post your payment proofs on the forums and vote for Pickash on the monitors. Dedicating few minutes for voting and posting will undoubtedly assist a lot to the popularity and growth of Pickash and make it a better place for everyone of us.
Here are the links to the most popular forums that I ask my member to post their payment proofs in:

http://www.dreamteammoney.com/index.php?showtopic=105874
Please also stay tuned for my interview with Paul (Money-News-Online owner) which will be published after the first payouts on expiry are processed tomorrow.
Thank you for sticking with Pickash everyone. We will show this industry that Pickash can become an extremely successful and popular program, even without AlertPay!
Regards, Robin Williams”.

So will jealousy and rumors kill Pickash? I hope not and hopefully we will be enjoy payouts of 125% after 5 days for many cycles ahead. But I think the first payouts tomorrow will give us a better picture and tell us if Pickash is likely to prevail. It has to be said though that after the AlertPay account was blocked activity surrounding the program slowed to a trickle, with almost no new investors posting on forums and those that were seemingly more interested in cutting their losses and getting their money back. This is the short update that was posted on Pickash‘s website today regarding the first payouts coming tomorrow:
“Pickash First Payday Ever – TOMORROW! Tomorrow is the first payday ever of Pickash and I am very excited. Please be ready to post your payment proofs on the forums, vote for Pickash on the monitors and let everyone know about Pickash and how popular it becomes.”

I will let you know tomorrow as soon as I get my first cashout. In the meantime you can read the newsletters on the official Pickash thread on MNO forum:
“Newsletters are posted HERE: http://money-news-online.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=488”.

DAILY NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY.

With all the fuss surrounding Pickash today I almost overlooked another great update that was sent by one of the best HYIP performers recently – PawnShopFund (reviewed here). I honestly admire the admin’s attitude to his program and his intentions of making it more and more secure and professional. You might have noticed some downtime today or perhaps last night. No need for alarm though as I already reported that Frederick (the admin) was about to move his website from DdoSWiz to the more secure Dragonara. Every monitor should have been aware of that so the moving of PawnShopFund to Problem status made by some monitors is really shameful and shows a total lack of professionalism. Well, due to the migration process in the servers you might not be able to access the site for some time. If not simply use any proxy server and I’m sure you will have no further problems. As for withdrawals they are still instant to AlertPay and LibertyReserve. But not for PerfectMoney who have some issues for now and the payments to which are still processed manually within a few hours of the request. PawnShopFund really improved compared to what it was after I reviewed it first time (read the review here). However, despite the changes the plans still remain the same: 1.8% for 45 days, 2.1% for 60 days, 2.35% for 60 days and 2.4% for 75 days. Please note that you can either withdraw your principal on expiry or continue to earn for an indefinite period of time which is quite a unique feature here.

I would like to add that MNO is going to extend its services by making also flash (and .gif) banners for HYIP admins which will be produced by an MNO design subsidiary which is going to be launched online pretty soon. During the promotional campaign, my designer Andrew will offer a set of flash banners for free to a couple of selected programs. Please contact me at abramsonp@gmail.com if you’re interested in getting those banners for free or for very affordable introductory prices. The latest work being done by Andrew are the flash (.swf) banners made for PawnShopFund about which Frederick also kindly mentioned in his latest newsletter sent to the members today along with the latest important news from his program (please read the full update carefully):
“Hello dear members.
I am glad to announce that we migrated our website to one of the most secure servers in the industry, to a DRAGONARA full dedicated server. Probably untill now we are reachable in almost every areas but if there are still problems accessing our website due to the migration, i would recommend you to signup for a free account at opendns.com temporary, so untill your isp resolves our address with the new server you can use their DNS records as your DNS resolver. A detailed description how to do this is available on their website after the signup.
Please note that due to this migration PerfectMoney api server does not communicates well with our new server yet so PM withdrawals will be processed manually in the next few hours untill they resolve our new server address. LR and AP instant withdrawals are working well already.
I am really sorry to see that Hyipbanker admin set our website to Problem status, i just want to let you know that from my point of view this is a totally unjustified step, as a migration to a better server to protect our user’s accounts and funds cannot be considered as a problem. I really hope that after my request to them they will correct our status.
I also want to let you know that USBANKLIST created for our investors an investment calculator, so you are free from now to use it on their website, in can be accessed here: http://www.usbanklist.com/pawnshop-fund.html.
Finally i want to say a thanks to MNO admin for his generous donation, a set of professional flash banners. They are offered by him as a part of his promotion regarding the upcoming design subsidiary of MNO. The flash banners are available at our Banners (https://pawnshop-fund.com/index.php?a=cust&page=banners) and Referral Links pages. Feel free to use them with the provided html code.
I think that’s all for this week, i hope you will enjoy the benefits of the new server.
Best regards, Frederick”.

I’m also glad to report that according to readers’ requests I’m going to introduce a new moderator on the MNO forum tomorrow which will hopefully help me put a breath of fresh air into the forum. A man I respect very much and will be very proud that he will take care of MNO readers starting from tomorrow. So expect some positive changes on the MNO forum in the coming weeks and months and don’t forget to check it out more often when more diverse topics will be added. Stay tuned for tomorrow when I will have more details.

Getting back to HYIP news, the admin of WorldPrivateFunds (reviewed here) sent a very surprising newsletter reminding members not to forget to cash out and request withdrawals on expired deposits. It was surprising to me because usually the admins are only bothered that not many people reinvest in their programs and not to take their money out. It looks like the admin of WorldPrivateFunds took a different more hospitable approach. The plans offered by WorldPrivateFunds (LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and SolidTRustPay e-currencies accepted) include: 0.9% for 10 business days, 1.1% for 30 business days, 1.4% for 60 business days, 1.8% for 90 business days, 2.2% for 120 business days. Your principal will be returned on expiry from all of the plans. Here is the latest news from the admin:
“I see some deposits expired in our database but members didn’t request withdrawal or didn’t renew their investment from cash balance.
They can request withdrawal or, can make another investment from cash balance and request withdrawal for the profit only.
If they forgot their transaction code, just send me a contact request, I will give a temporary transaction code, they will can request withdrawal and then can edit their own new transaction code (please save it in a document).
We appreciate if you will post about cash bonus received and your payment proofs on forums and vote us on monitors in order to increase rating and popularity of our investment program.

Do not hesitate to contact me for any problem.
Kind Regards. Samuel Arildsen

I must admit that today was quite a busy day for me in terms of work as I had to add three new programs to MNO monitoring, including two of them which I’m going to present in the Premium list.

The first is GloTrade, a HYIP which doesn’t require any signing up. All you have to do is invest your LibertyReserve or PerfectMoney into one of the plans paying on expiry after clicking on the Invest tab on their website. Then you can invest a minimum of $20 or higher into one of the following plans: 110% after 5 days, 150% after 15 days, 200% after 25 days and 300% after 40 days. GloTrade just launched a couple of days ago and the good thing about that is that you can also invest via a Bank wire for amounts starting from $400. GloTrade also boasts not only a UK certificate of incorporation (quite easy to obtain), but also features on exposure a so-called Certificate of incumbency about the issuing of 10 million shares to the name of Anteia Francis. GloTrade is hosted on a dedicated server provided by one of the leading hosting service providers Dragonara and includes an SSL-certificate issued by GeoTrust. The fact that the domain of GloTrade has been registered for five years can also be a decisive factor for somebody. Although do not forget that GloTrade is simply an online HYIP and should be treated as such, despite the best efforts made by the admin to look real. I will have a more detailed review of GloTrade once I receive the first payout from them, so stay tuned for that.

The second program I want to introduce tonight is ForexCompanyOnline which is perhaps also worth a look. The program also is secured by SSL and is hosted on a dedicated server by Dragonara. ForexCompanyOnline started just less than two weeks ago and can still be considered new. It pays on the following plans: 1.15% for 12 days (if you’re going to invest from $1 to $100), 1.74% for 26 days (from $101 to $1,000), 1.96% for 52 days (from $1K to $2K) and 2.47% daily forever (for over $2K deposits). You will get your deposit back on expiry of your chosen plan. What I like most about ForexCompanyOnline is their script which looks very genuine and customized to me and surely pretty secure. It also allows compounding which you can use if you want to increase your profits. There is a nice 3-minute long video presentation on the main page of the website which is allegedly involved in Forex trading (according to its name what else?). ForexCompanyOnline also include their address in US (most likely virtual or serviced offices) and phone numbers for the US and Canada (toll-free) and for Europe which I’m going to verify tomorrow before publishing the review on MNO.

I have been paid today from the following programs:
UniteTrade, YamaFinance, CherryShares, GroupUniversal, Forexica, FundsOMatic, GlobalTradeManagers, Flamanta, VividTrade, PawnShopFund, AvaInvestment, FutureTrails, OilStructure, ReProFinance, OnlineMDT, WorldPrivateFunds, YesInvestment, EzProfit, 144CashAds, CashMiner, HOX and RedOrchidInvest.

That would be it for today, guys. I hope you enjoyed my daily news and hope to see you all on my blog tomorrow with another review and more news from the HYIP industry. Stay tuned and always stay on the money with Money-News-Online!
