BEWARE! RISKCAPITALFUND HAS STOPPED PAYING! DO NOT INVEST THERE!

Hi everyone! As the holidays get closer by the day and more and more programs vie for investors money, a lot of investors begin getting more selective than usual about where to spend their hard earned cash. It gets increasingly difficult to call which programs might be a success but one project aiming for that is a recently launched website called RiskCapitalFund which has been online for the last couple of days, though yet to actually pay anyone. So before we move on to the days news I want to look at some of the program’s features and see if you think it might be worth a few bucks if you’re looking around for something new to add to your portfolios.

As for the investment plans, well that’s going to be a pretty easy decision for all. RiskCapitalFund only have one option so you either like it or you don’t. So take it or leave it as they say. Given the time of year however and the reluctance of more experienced investors to take any significant risks between now and the new year the admin will have quite a job in front of him selling this one. The main reason of course is that RiskCapitalFund only make a single payment on expiry, and with a medium length investment term it takes a much bigger leap of faith than many investors are prepared to take in December to wait that long before ever seeing any return whatsoever on their investments. On the surface however it does look a good program, but they will – and rightly so – have to complete at least one full cycle successfully before people really take them seriously. So if RiskCapitalFund is ever going to catch on at all then you’re more likely to start hearing more on them in January or February than you are in the next couple of weeks. It’s never too early to take a look and see what its all about I suppose, and once you see the exact terms you’ll agree that there’s no reason to rush into anything either.

First of all you can join RiskCapitalFund for a minimum spend of $10, so despite the risk involved, in financial terms it doesn’t absolutely have to cost you something you can’t afford unless you yourself deliberately make it so. And that’s never a good idea no matter what online HYIP we’re talking about. Anyway, once you sign up the plan runs for a term of 25 calendar days. On expiry of the term RiskCapitalFund are offering you a return of 150% interest, a figure that includes your initial principal. Basically that’s your own money back plus 50% profit. Or to put it another way were you to invest $100 RiskCapitalFund promise to give you back $150 after 25 days. The maximum investment allowed is $25,000.

Payment options are of an acceptable standard for a program like this one, with RiskCapitalFund taking investments through AlertPay, LibertyReserve, and PerfectMoney. The minimum withdrawal is $1 (which will only be of interest to you is you have ref commissions to claim) and payment requests will be made manually, therefore requiring you to make a request from inside your members area. The RiskCapitalFund admin then asks you to allow up to 48 hours for your payment to be completed.

Security is also up to a reasonable industry standard with the program being hosted on a dedicated server and running off a unique and very customized script. For an extra layer of protection and safer transactions RiskCapitalFund also include SSL encryption from Comodo. And if you have any further questions about the program or support or account related problems then you can contact the admin by either mailing him directly at the addresses listed or by filling in the ticketing form on the support page and submitting it. Also featured are Twitter and Facebook pages which are fast becoming regular features throughout the HYIP industry, though personally I’d say their importance is overstated. Despite only being online a couple of days RiskCapitalFund already have a list of regional representatives who can be contacted (assuming one of them actually covers your area) by members via e-mail, instant messenger, or phone. I wouldn’t be all that sure of the wisdom of putting your personal contact details on somebody else’s HYIP, but I guess that’s their own business.

Texts are original, and while more extensive than many programs around at the moment they still present RiskCapitalFund as no more than an online HYIP and it’s admins as experienced players in the industry. Refreshingly honest it has to be said, and if true then I guess they’ll be well aware of the fact that the program is going to be a tough one to promote during the current industry downturn. I know it’s a moot point and totally irrelevant now, but I would say in passing that had RiskCapitalFund offered let’s say 6% interest per day (which would still give the investor 150% by the term’s completion) they’d get a lot more takers. The fact that nobody has any chance to claw back even a piece of their investment will definitely hold the program back until such a time as they can prove their intention is not to scam and they start returning people’s money. After all, the longer an “on expiry” plan makes you wait the less you’d be inclined to trust it. Hardly rocket science to work that out, so we’ll wait and see how things develop when the first cycle comes to completion. That being said, if you are taking a chance with RiskCapitalFund then remember the usual industry rules of never spending more than an amount you can comfortably do without and trying to keep a diverse and varied portfolio. Just remember to keep an eye on MNO blog over the coming weeks for news on the programs development, especially the first payments on expiry when they become due which I’m sure is the main concern for most of you.

DAILY NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY

In recent months I’ve gotten a few complaints from MNO readers asking me why the original review of ReProFinance (click here to read it) which was published over 18 months ago featured different plans than the ones available now. Well, the answer to that is quite simple – a few months ago the original investment plans were scrapped and replaced by new more aggressive plans. The current plans offered by ReProFinance program include 1.6%-2.3% for 90 business days, 1.8%-2.5% for 180 business days and the newest one – 2.2% for 60 business days – with principal returned on expiry of each. In addition to that there’s the 1% daily bond scheme that you can buy and sell at any time which is also quite a novelty compared to the original version. Maybe for some MNO readers the interview with the admin(click here to read it) clarified many questions about the program but since it was published also a few months ago many things were not discussed there. With a lot of recent controversies and some questionable promotional activities I believe many readers would appreciate another evaluation of the last year and a half of ReProFinance‘s existence. And though I don’t make forecasts I would still like to update the review of the program which still manages to process instant withdrawals to LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and AlertPay and outlived every program that started last year at the same time. So stay tuned for that as that’s what’s going to be the main feature of tomorrow’s update on MNO.

There’s an unusual situation surrounding BrantonsGroup at the moment due to which I had to move them to Waiting status on MNO today. Due to the most recent update posted on the website, the usual daily profit will not be accrued to members’ accounts today and tomorrow which was supposedly connected with some “global system upgrade”. In my book that sounds like delaying the inevitable as there were more complaints submitted to me recently about missed payouts. This was bad enough but when it was met with stony silence from the admin when asked about it then it doesn’t look any better. Things don’t improve when we see that this “upgrade” conveniently falls on business days rather than a weekend when most companies would carry out such work, thus depriving investors of their expected payments. Since such an announcement is totally unexpected and the delays to the latest withdrawals requests according to the reports submitted to me recently reached over 24 hours I had to remove BrantonsGroup to Waiting status and recommend holding off on any additional deposits for now. I would appreciate any feedback you can give me if payouts resume on the day after tomorrow which will affect the further status of BrantonsGroup on MNO. Here is the latest update from them:
“System Upgrade Notice
Dear Investors, please be aware that on the 6th and the 7th this month you won’t receive profit due to a global system upgrade. Our team is working hard to complete the process as soon as possible and we have to minimize our resources, thus we won’t operate as usual on the 6th and the 7th of December 2011. Thank you for your attention and have a great day.
–BrantonsGroup Administration.”

Here is the full list of programs that paid me for the last 24 hours and still featured on Paying status on my blog:
ReProFinance, OneInv, FreedomReserve, EurexTrade, TopsFund, EVBusiness, HyperCompound, SolidForexLtd, HYIPInnovation, StableProfit, ForexReflex, WorldwideCapital, APEnergyInvest and FelminaAlliance.

That’s everything for today guys. Not much I know but the industry is in a standstill now with more activity after the Christmas holidays. So, I don’t expect anything to change before that. Don’t worry though because even if you stopped investing for the time being please check out the news on MNO and who knows – maybe you might spot something that will be your #1 investment choice for 2012. Stay tuned and see you tomorrow with more news from the industry and an updated review of ReProFinance!
