25/10/2012. StallionGold Review and Daily News from the Industry

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

Hello all! Before this evening’s news updates I have a fairly novel long term HYIP that I want to look into in a bit more detail for you. It’s called StallionGold and they’ve been around a while (two months online by the end of next week in fact) so I know a lot of you will know them already. But initially they were only covered on the MNO Basic List, so after their upgrade to Premium Listing I’m now getting around to adding them to my blog’s news roster as well. StallionGold is a long term program, but unlike many of their peers add a pretty unusual twist to their investment plans. I’ll explain how it works in just a moment but whereas I don’t know how you as an investor will take it, it does to an extent make StallionGold more attractive. Not so much in terms of profitability but more to do with reducing the risk. It also makes them a more noticeable HYIP, so let’s take a look and see what you think.

At first glance StallionGold‘s only investment plan may look quite run-of-the-mill. One major advantage to it is that it’s affordable, coming with just a $1 minimum price tag. It runs for 100 business days (that’s 20 weeks), making interest payouts on a daily basis from Monday through Friday. The actual rate you receive will be based on the amount you’re prepared to gamble, with the bigger risk takers being offered the bigger returns.

The rates are as follows, and do keep in mind that StallionGold will be returning your principal so the final amounts represent net profit only:
From the $1 minimum up to $99 the rate is 1.5% per business day, between $100 and $199 the rate is 1.7%, investments of $201 up to $499 receive 1.9% per business day, amounts between $500 and $999 will earn 2.15% daily, $1,000 up to $1,999 is offered 2.4% per day, and anything over and above that to a value of $5,000 will be paid 2.65% interest per business day.

While there’s no fixed maximum you can deposit in StallionGold, let’s keep things realistic here, shall we? If you really want to know what is being offered to deposits upwards of $5,000 then you can check out their website for yourself. But just for your information, there’s no upper limit on how much you can spend, and the top rate of interest is 4% daily (though it’ll cost you $50K to get it!).

Like a lot of long term HYIPs, StallionGold will return your principal. However this is the really interesting part about them that I mentioned at the top of the page. You see, they don’t just do it on expiry as you might expect from most programs, this program gives it back to you in installments throughout the course of the term. In addition to your regular interest payments, you will also get four payments of 25% at regular intervals. So you still get your principal back just like a lot of other similar style programs, but in StallionGold you break even a lot faster, you make a profit a lot faster, and the risk is significantly reduced. The risk is NOT eliminated, so let’s be clear about that, but in the worst case scenario of the program not surviving all the way to maturity you at least have a better chance of clawing back more of your money than you would from many other long term HYIPs.

But this is where it gets tricky! You see, you have the option to either take back the 25% and keep it, or to re-invest in in the program. The decision will have a crucial outcome on your final earnings so please be very very clear about what you want to do next. Let me explain it better by giving you an example:
Let’s pretend you invested $100. Fine, StallionGold will pay you interest on that every business day as expected. However when they return the first $25, you will now continue to receive only a reduced payment on the remaining $75. If you want to be paid the full amount on your full investment for the full term, then you MUST re-invest the partial principal return. If you are happy to collect interest on a declining principal, then you should keep the re-payments.

I hope that’s quite clear to everybody, because what’s equally clear to me is that it’s pretty pointless of me trying to offer you any further examples of how a deposit in StallionGold might work out. There are simply too many variables involved, but don’t worry, they have a handy little built-in investment calculator to help you plan what you are hoping to get back from the program.

To be honest the list of payment processors isn’t exactly complete and does have room for expansion. Having said that, it doesn’t seem to have harmed the program’s chances for continued success too badly either. Currently StallionGold will accept deposits made online through EgoPay, PerfectMoney, or LibertyReserve. Bank wires are also listed as an alternative but you’d really have to contact the admin about that first as an entirely different set of rules would most likely apply to deposit and withdrawal allowances. But with the regular HYIP processors I can tell you that payouts will need to be requested by members from inside their StallionGold members account area. While no exact timeframe is listed, generally speaking I don’t usually wait any longer than a few minutes for my own. In other words “almost” instant payouts but not specifically described as such.

Regarding the design and security features of StallionGold, I don’t know if it’s just me and the programs MNO just attracts by coincidence, but this is the first HYIP that I’ve monitored to be hosted on DdosWiz in what must be a very long time now. They are keeping StallionGold on a dedicated server. The script is customized, not quite unique mind, but quite rare. I’ve seen it a couple of times this year, and if it means anything to you (speaking of coincidences!) all the programs I remember it in were quite successful. The website is also SSL encrypted by Comodo for safer browsing and more secure transactions. The site itself though is also a selling point in its own right, with a lot of nice little extras that all contribute to making StallionGold look quite professional, and definitely more organized, than a lot of other HYIPs you’ll see on the main forums. Nothing unique per se, but put them all together and it makes a lasting impression. For instance the site is bi-lingual, with a Spanish version available if you’re more fluent in that language. You’ll also find an investment calculator which can be quite handy (for the reasons I already mentioned above), and a dedicated news room with regular updates for members. If you have any further questions or account related issues and need to get in touch with the StallionGold admin, you can do so by either filling out your details on the online support ticketing form and submitting it, or else just by e-mailing them directly at the address provided. StallionGold list a postal address in Dominica and a telephone number you can try your luck with if you want to try and speak directly to someone in person. Well, not exactly “in person”. Over the phone, but you know what I mean. The admin is also maintaining Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Just like the website and the concept behind the four step return of your investment principal, StallionGold‘s texts and content would also appear original. I’ll be very surprised if you don’t see the same texts copy/pasted onto to another HYIP eventually, but to be fair I do believe what you see on StallionGold has originated there first. That been said, there’s not a whole lot to substantiate the claims being made there. For the record they claim to be involved in the trading of precious metals as you may have guessed from the name. Don’t get me wrong, the decision to believe it or not is yours, I’m merely pointing out that if you wanted to research StallionGold as a genuine business entity you may have your work cut out for you. So let’s just say it might be best you don’t waste too much time dwelling on this and try instead to judge them by the criteria you would normally reserve for an online HYIP – ie can what they offer be realistically sustained for long enough for me to break even? If you think the answer to that million dollar question is a yes, then proceed with caution. If not, then come back tomorrow and I’ll have another new program for you to think over. But always remember the importance of staying within a sensible spending limit that you can afford to lose, and if joining StallionGold at all then it’s better to keep them as a smaller part of a wider more diverse portfolio.

DAILY NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY

STALLIONGOLD – STEP-UP THEIR PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN

Just as I was looking over the above reviewed StallionGold I see that the program’s administration team have, in their own words at the request of the members, made some updates to their promotional materials. If members genuinely are looking for more efficient ways of promoting the program, and to be honest I see absolutely no reason why they wouldn’t be, then it’s fair to assume a lot of industry players are seeing a lot of as yet untapped potential in StallionGold. Time will tell if they’re right about that or not, but for now if you’re one of those investors with a knack for building a downline then the following update will be of more interest to you than the casual observer (though there’s nothing preventing everyone else from having a shot at it too):

“October 25, 2012 | Updated Promotional Materials
Dear investors and website visitors, with this announcement we would like to take a chance and express our gratitude to all of our current members, who have chosen to participate in our highly rewarding affiliate program. Per their multiple requests and to meet the needs of our affiliates and sponsors, we have now updated program promotional materials, which can be found within user account’s affiliate section. We are also reminding you that becoming our program sponsor in order to earn referral commissions based residual income, is very easy and that anyone can join.”

FINVANCE – NEW PAYMENT SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED

The following update from Finvance came as no surprise to me personally. In fact I have to say in my opinion Mark, the admin (interviewed here) should really have done it earlier. Finvance has become one of the runaway success stories in the HYIP industry this year, and though it’s still only October when it comes to most investor’s end of year reviews there will be very few programs in anyone’s portfolios that will have surpassed this one. The trouble with that of course is that the workload just gets almost ridiculous to keep up with, and there are way to many inexperienced members who think that because it took an hour to get paid on Monday it’s OK to start screaming “scam” all over the monitors and forums if you’re left waiting two hours on Tuesday. So a more realistic work schedule had to be drawn up urgently. Remember that as more and more members start joining, there’s still only 24 hours in a day. And that’s where the trouble (or should I say “imagined trouble”) starts. So Finvance, which was first reviewed on MNO here and have already received more abuse than anyone deserves from members who can’t be bothered to read the terms and conditions before joining, will now allow themselves up to 48 hours to process withdrawals, unless it’s to SolidTrustPay in which case 72 hours is the required timeframe. Will it stop impatient members from complaining and flooding Finvance‘s support network? Probably not, but the admin has to make an effort which he has done admirably in my opinion. What word other than “fantastic” could describe a program paying 8% for 20 business days for the last 102 days and counting? The full update from Mark is below:

“Finvance Newsletter
Hello Finvance Members,
Finvance has surpassed 50,000 active deposits and continues to grow at an amazing rate daily as we pass 100 days online paying to four e-currencies daily: Liberty Reserve, EgoPay, PerfectMoney, and SolidTrustPay. Finvance has proven itself as the top choice for investors.
Due to our rapid growth we are instituting a new payout schedule to provide the best service possible to all our investors. It is a measure we are putting in place before our workload reaches that point, so you will see that we have changed payout times even though the majority of our investors receive their payouts well before the stated time in our FAQ.
Withdrawal requests to Liberty Reserve, PerfectMoney and EgoPay are paid within 48 business hours and the time of day is subject to the change on a daily basis. SolidTrustPay Withdrawals are paid within 48-72 business hours. There is not a set time period for processing withdrawals.
You may view our full FAQ here: https://finvance.com/faq.php
For those experiencing missing deposit issues with EgoPay or SolidTrustPay, please submit an email with the subject “Missing Deposit”. In the contents of the email, please include your Finvance username and the COMPLETE transaction details in text format.
Mark. Finvance.”

TIVSOL – GREAT EXPECTATIONS FROM PHILIP!

Tivsol, which if you read my review of the program first published on MNO here, is a sort of hybrid program that offers a shorter term paid to surf plan of 5% for 30 days (principal included), or a more traditional HYIP style plan for those who don’t like to surf of 3% for 90 days (principal returned). The admin of the program sent a news update today, except it didn’t really contain a lot of news at all. It was more focused on what he is hoping to achieve with Tivsol in the coming weeks and months, plus expressing his gratitude to existing members for taking a chance on the program. Whether his grand plans materialize or not is something we will only learn as we go, but for now you can read the full update from Tivsol below:

“Tivsol News

PROFOREXUNION – FACEBOOK AND TWITTER

ProForexUnion (reviewed here) is now available on Facebook and Twitter. Nobody can deny that for a successful HYIP it is vital to maintain good relations with investors and to connect via the popular social networks would be the first thing to do when looking for loyal membership. To maintain Facebook and Twitter and make them lively would be a different mater that becomes a challenge for some admins. I hope that ProForexUnion which is paying 1.2% for 20 days, 1.7% for 30 days, 1.9%-2.4% for 60 days with principal return on expiry to LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, SolidTrustPay and EgoPay will prove a popular pick so their updates will be discussed more widely on social networking websites. Here’s the latest newsletter from ProForexUnion:

“ProForexUnion. Facebook and Twitter!

NUBCOYU – INVESTMENT BONUS OF 5%

To tell you the truth, I never understood why HYIP admins provide bonuses to investors. They even make them limited in time, so this could be considered as a clever (or not so) marketing trick to maintain more interest. So today the admin of Nubcoyu (reviewed here) announced a 5% deposit bonus which will be credited to every investor joining via EgoPay, PerfectMoney or LibertyReserve to their 1.4% for 200 business days plan. As the admin explained the bonus is given for the whole month to commemorate the birthday of his daughter. Might even be true, but I find it hard to believe it would be used as an excuse to give a 5% bonus for the whole month. I might even suspect Nubcoyu had cashflow issues were it not a long-term program, but in this case I believe that the admin just wants to get noticed as so far it didn’t spark much interest among MNO readers so I guess it will take a lot more work. Anyway, the latest newsletter from Nubcoyu can be read below:

“The 5% Lucrative Bonus For Every Deposits Start Today!
Dear Valued Investors,
To be honest, I’m writing this newsletter with tears running down my cheeks. My daughter Miyako, has now turned 18 today. We’ve held the Seinen-Shiki ceremony at my house today with her cousins, friends and teachers as participants. You guys might have heard of Kimono, a Japanese traditional uniform (Google it up for pictures. I’d also like our dear investors to know more about cultures too :D). I must comment that this was my first time seeing my own daughter in Kimono and it made me so proud of her. It’s also my first time noticing that I have such a beautiful daughter for such a long time. I’ve raised her to be able to choose her own path, independent, moral and always think of others. She’s in Grade 12 of Hatachi Senior High School and is now working hard to enter the university. I’d like to kindly ask everyone for your encouragement.
To celebrate her birthday today (25th October 2012), every deposits from now until 25th of November will be accredited with extra 5%. Please note that compounded deposits are not counted, only deposits from external processors do. You’ll have a whole month to participate in this very lucrative bonus program! This might also be the best time to starting building your team of referrals!
Please note that all bonuses are credited manually so please be patient.
And tomorrow is the scheduled release of our highly appreciated Nubcoyu Friday. We’ll have a lot to talk about regarding our business which is now growing and being as hot as ever!
Regards, Nubcoyu

PRIMEX7 – INVESTMENT BONUS OF 7%

I don’t want to alarm anyone but I would have to question the wisdom of the latest promotional campaign from the admin of PrimeX7. I’m doubt adding an investment bonus of 7% for the next seven days for every deposit made by SolidTrustPay, EgoPay, LibertyReserve or PerfectMoney would be a good idea as the interest paid by the program is already way too high to be sustained in the long run – 7% for 23 days, 157% after 7 days, 207% after 14 days, 267% after 21 days, 307% after 28 days. PrimeX7 is getting popular with every day and attracting a lot of investors recently as it’s paying huge profits within a relatively short period of time, but recent behavior makes me question the admin’s motives. Anyway, it might be just my nature to see a warning sign in every second update but bonuses would be the last thing any professional admin should offer members, providing this is usually taken as a very bad sign of the cashflow issues and pending collapse. Here’s the latest from PrimeX7 (reviewed here) so you can judge by yourself if my concerns are justified or just a figment of my imagination:

“Lets Get It Hot !!!
One of our main goals in PrimeX7 is to share with you the feeling of belongingness, uniqueness and true ease. To emphasize on this matter, we have already brought you “The Battle of The Primes” for our existing family members. – But what about the new members?
It is time for us to reveal the true meaning of PrimeX7!
Prime is equivalent to first in excellence, while X is for extraordinary and seven is for luck!
And to heat things up, we will be activating the 7% extra bonus button to all deposits done from payment processors AND 3.5% for deposits from your account balance for the next 7 days starting today!!
Looking forward to our first month’s online celebration!
https://www.facebook.com/Primex7
Admin – Blue”.

ROYALADZ – PAYOUTS BACK TO NORMAL AFTER DDOS

The site of RoyalAdz was inaccessible for the most part of the day today and I had my withdrawals pending for over 24 hours. That prompted me to change their status to Waiting and put them on hold this afternoon. However after the explanation received from the admin, their recovery after the DDoS attack, and the resumption of payouts I moved the program back to Paying status. The admin issued a short update today informing the members about the successful resolution and the site being back online:

“ROI Back from DDOS
We have experienced some DDOS from past one day and we have successfully come out of it. So no more DDOS on RoyalAdz. We have cleared all the payouts
Thanks for the support and patience shown by our users
Cheers. Admin Alex”.

RoyalAdz accepts SolidTrustPay, EgoPay, LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney into the 1%-6% for 125 days plan with a compulsory 40% repurchase rule. More about that can be read in my detailed review published here.

HOTBESTFUND – MOVED TO PROBLEM STATUS

Unfortunately I had to move HotBestFund to Problem status on MNO tonight. The withdrawals from the program have been pending for over 24 hours now and the admin stopped replying to my emails as well. The program proved to be another fast scam which paid for 9 days and not enough for anyone to profit. We can assume therefore that HotBestFund was intended as a fast scam from the beginning, because I don’t think that with those stupid emails that were sent regularly the admin managed to fool anyone. Just look at what I received today after HotBestFund had already stopped paying. What a shameful admin to send such nonsense after his program is already finished, trying to squeeze every last penny from unsuspecting investors:

“We will help you to earn easy way
We will help you to earn easy way. You can deposit any amount of money at any moment, and we have no withdrawal minimum.
You can get your profit at any moment. And remember – the more you deposit, the more you earn. We have highly profitable investment plans, and you can just choose the more interesting for you.

They are engaged in it for all life, and we can give you guarantees that you won’t risk your money.

GET PAID REPORT FOR 25/10/2012
