THIS PROGRAM HAS STOPPED PAYING! PLEASE DON’T INVEST!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi everybody! After yesterday’s review of USDozen<\/a> autosurf, today I’m back on what is more familiar territory. That of HYIP’s. Sort of a shorter review that usual today as well I think. There is really not a lot to say about this one. Not entirely a bad thing either if you appreciate simplicity that is, lol!<\/p>\n

It’s called UncleDollar<\/a>, and it’s a short term investment program. I joined this about a week ago and was waiting for my first payment before reviewing it. Now that that’s been received I can proceed, but let me make one thing crystal clear to you from the start. This program has now been running for eight weeks so please be aware of the high risk involved at this point. So let’s see what the plans in UncleDollar<\/a> are about.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIn fact there’s just one plan and it runs for a term of 5 business days<\/strong> (7 calendar days). That includes all investments of all sizes starting from the minimum spend of $5 all the way up to the maximum of $10,000. And what are you offered in return for your principal? A one off payment made on expiry of 115%<\/strong> of your investment. This figure represents your total, final payment so remember that your principal is included already there. Meaning your profit is 15%. The accepted payment processors are LibertyReserve<\/a> and PerfectMoney<\/a> and I don’t expect that list to change. And that’s about it really! Not much more to it than that.<\/p>\n

The security is reasonable on UncleDollar<\/a>. It’s hosted on a dedicated server and for what it’s worth it’s registered for the next two years. Not that that means it will be here in two years of course. And in keeping with the minimalist approach of the site’s appearance the admin has also dispensed with the need for a script by making direct payments straight into your nominated e-currency account and without the need for requesting them either. Customer support is a bit limited to say the least with just a single e-mail address provided. There are a couple of postal addresses listed as well . In Australia and New Zealand. This of course means very little to the average investor unless you actually live in the cities listed as neither address has a corresponding telephone number. Otherwise the design as I said is in keeping with the plan. Like everything else about UncleDollar<\/a> it’s stripped down to the basic minimum and there is really nothing there that could be misunderstood.<\/p>\n

Now before I say something too negative I have to point out that to the admins credit he has managed to keep his program afloat and paying for eight long weeks. No mean feat for a short term high ROI program so kudos to him for that much. Whatever he did, he did it right so far. I would rather ignore the part about their investment activities. Sorry but trading in currencies does not pay that kind of profit. Given that their logo is a mash between the “Pringles” snack food logo and the Planters peanut logo, it’s hard to get too serious here (sorry to be flippant, but the comparison simply jumped off the page at me!) The bottom line here is that UncleDollar<\/a> has been good up to now but sincerely I wouldn’t like to guess at how much longer this can be sustained. Worth a few bucks if you can spare it and strictly as a gamble from here on in.<\/p>\n

Other news for today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

First I would like to report some news I received from the admin of NovalexFinance<\/a> Luis. First as you may be aware already LibertyReserve<\/a> is finally on the list of accepted payment processors. Why finally? Because it took them more than 6 months of stable work with StrictPay<\/a> and PerfectMoney<\/a> only accepted before they actually introduced LibertyReserve<\/a>. Really it was rather strange why such a popular payment processor was not accepted by such a popular program like NovalexFinance<\/a>. And I know what I’m talking about. For over 6 months stable work online NovalexFinance<\/a> (reviewed here<\/a>) has built a reputation as a solid and reputable investment company which never misses a payment. I remind you that by joining NovalexFinance<\/a> you have the possibility to earn 100% profit on your deposit. Actually you will get your deposit back on the 30th day and 100% profit on the 50th day. It’s that simple and really convenient as after depositing you can forget about your investment and rely on the program’s administration which is doing quite a nice job and always pay on time. I myself have received the 100% profit payment from my third deposit and of course redeposited the whole amount. By the way, the minimum to deposit in NovalexFinance<\/a> is $50 which is not affordable for some investors (remember the rule: never invest what you can’t afford to lose) and it seems the admin doesn’t have any intention of reducing this minimum in the near future. On the other hand he’s doing everything possible to attract more new members to the program. Together with the addition of LibertyReserve<\/a> you can now download their trading results here<\/a> or even see their certificate of incorporation in Panama here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The admin of Poplans<\/a> increased the payout plans again and now you will be paid 12.76%-16.76% for 10 days (depending on the amount deposited). Honestly speaking I like this marketing trick of gradually increasing the daily payouts little by little and I think that this can attract some more investors to the program. Unfortunately, LR is still the only payment processor accepted in Poplans<\/a> (reviewed here<\/a>) which is still running on an unlicensed Hyip Manager script. In addition, I have just seen that GoldPoll changed the status of Poplans<\/a> to “Problem” which means that some of the investors were not paid. I got my daily payment today as usual but I would like to warn you about this status because as far as I know GoldPoll is a good monitor and doesn’t change the status of a program without reasonable cause.<\/p>\n

The admin of ImperialFinances<\/a> Will (interviewed here<\/a>) sent out an unusually short update last night just to inform the members about the video contest going on in the program. Surely no news is also good news in this case as ImperialFinances<\/a> is a stable performer on my list for 4 weeks already. I must say that ImperialFinances<\/a> (reviewed here<\/a>) is still quite a popular choice among investors despite offering rather moderate returns compared to their competitors: 35% for 4 weeks, 115% after 10 days, 135% after 20 days, 160% after 30 days and the most recent 1.5% daily for 30 days (with principal return on expiry). Yes, probably ImperialFinances<\/a> is very popular because of multiple payment processor options and a rather eye-catching design. But maybe the admin’s personality is also playing a huge role in investors’ trust in this program. Here is the latest newsletter from ImperialFinances<\/a>:
\n“Hello dear customers, I want just to announce you that our server was under short maintenance. If you couldn’t access the website, you should know whtat we weren’t under attack or something like this. ImperialFinances<\/a> was offline only for a few minutes.
\nAnd another thing I want to remember you: Did you start to make your own movie? If not read here $120 total prizes – http:\/\/imperialfinances.com\/?a=cust&page=contest<\/a>
\nThis is all for today, the shortest newsletter I ever sent since the start of ImperialFinances<\/a>. Best regards from ImperialFinances<\/a> Team<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

I must say to you that I’m quite impressed with the performance of Hassan-Al-Fadi<\/a> site (reviewed here<\/a>) and how the admin is handling the support requests. Even the deposits made on the hacker’s account are still being paid and if you have payment problems please don’t hesitate to contact the admin and I’m sure he will help you. The recent good news from the admin Hassan (read my interview with him here<\/a>) was concerning STP deposits and it seemed that you could make direct deposits to STP that was announced in his update last night:
\n“Dear members, and thank you for the good support of the Hassan Al Fadi Platform. Soon we reach 400 active members and I thank all members who trust me. The Hassan Al Fadi Platform will grow more and more in the next year!
\nFrom today I can accept STPay. To invest direct with SolidTrustPay<\/a> you must do so direct from your SolidTrustPay<\/a> account. Just login to your SolidTrustPay<\/a> account and transfer the amount (Send Money) direct to my SolidTrustPay<\/a> account.
\nMy STpay name is : HassanAlFadi
\nAnd do not forget to write your email address in the payment comment. I also implemented my daily top performance on the main page that you can get a better idea where and how I trade. Today was a very good trading day anyway<\/em>.”
\nHowever today it seems that those who deposited via STP will not receive their profits for 4 days because of Hassan’s issues with verification. Alternatively you can email to Hassan-Al-Fadi<\/a> and request the payments to be made to other ecurrencies accounts you have. Please follow the instructions below:
\n“Dear Members, please note that I changed my Private SolidTrustPay<\/a> address and my Bank Details in my account so I have to get verified again. All STP Payments are pending for the next 4 days until my new Details are verified (New Adress, New Bank account). If you have a SP, LR or PM account I can also pay you the profits to this account or you wait 4 days and than I pay you as normal plus the missing payments. If you want to use a different E-Currency for the next days please send me the account no. and put in the Email subject STP Investment and provide me with your payment details and the account where you want the profits to be transfered to.
\nMy STP account is still the same. HassanAlFadi<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

I would like to discuss some people’s comments that try to undermine the reputation of Louise, the admin of SilverLodge<\/a> (read the interview with him here<\/a>) and mine as well. Remember that SilverLodge<\/a> has been one of the best HYIPs so far and started back in October 2008. There is absolutely no reason why I should warn anybody about anything. I think the investors are smart enough to distinguish the truth from tfiction. So it’s your personal choice to believe in SilverLodge<\/a>‘s good intentions or not. I think everything will be clear on May, 15-16 when Louise supposedly is going to meet me and other investors in London. I have my doubts if this meeting will really take place but so far I had no reason to mistrust him. If you have your reasonable doubts why we should avoid SilverLodge<\/a> please email me with some proof because I just don’t want to listen to any unsubstantiated allegations anymore. Otherwise, if you have any doubts or uncertainty simply don’t invest in SilverLodge<\/a> until I meet Louise in London. I believe in your reasonable judgment and common sense so you can question anything you like but you can’t say that a program is a scam unless it stops paying. SilverLodge<\/a> has been paying and I hope will stay in Paying status for a long time that is why I keep it in such a high position in my rankings.<\/p>\n

NorthBizz<\/a> (reviewed here<\/a>) is doing fine and paying on time every business day. I remind you that NorthBizz<\/a> is paying 2% for 85 business day and return 20% of your principal at the end of your investment term. Only LibertyReserve<\/a>, PerfectMoney<\/a> and EvoWallet<\/a> are accepted so far. Anyway, the reason I’m writing this is to report to you that the site will be unavailable tomorrow at the certain times specified by the admin because of the scheduled maintenance:
\n“NorthBizz<\/a> will be unavailable on May 9, between 8:00 and 12:00 (GMT).<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Please don’t ask me why FinancialProfitsCorp<\/strong> stopped paying as the admin didn’t reply to my emails either and I don’t know what happened. Probably some payouts to AP, SP and STP are still being made but simply because the admin probably is afraid of the complaints which will be definitely take place when the payments stop. I can see that almost all the monitorings are showing Not Paying status as well so I doubt very much the program is still alive. It’s definitely dead by now and I have put it to Not Paying status on my monitoring page<\/a> already.<\/p>\n

On the good news front, another program on my Problematic status \u2013 EdwardBrownInvestments<\/a> \u2013 promised to resume payouts pretty soon. I’m willing to publish the interview with him on my blog once this happens so don’t miss it out. It will be funny, lol!<\/p>\n

This is it for today except to finish as usual I would like to list the programs that paid me today: GoldNuggetInvest<\/a>, SilverLodge<\/a>, USDozen<\/a>, Hassan-Al-Fadi<\/a>, NovalexFinance<\/a>, ImperialFinances<\/a>, GearsOfProfit<\/a>, Poplans<\/a>, NorthBizz<\/a>, FlowBroker<\/a>, EwoCapital<\/a>, NanoMoneyCorp<\/a>, PanaMoney<\/a>, EnscoOffshore<\/a>, HighRiseFinance<\/a>, CascoFunds<\/a>, OakCash<\/a>, VentureFundsGroup<\/a>, GeniusFunds<\/a>, InvestmentForge<\/a> and DamexTrade<\/a>.
