BEWARE! THE SITE IS INACCESSIBLE, PAYOUTS STOPPED!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi guys! Hope you’re all enjoying the weekend so far, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing! Just like yesterday it’s been a typical weekend so far on the news front with not a lot going on, though there is another new program (you may remember there were several added recently) that I want to take a closer look at for you this evening. It’s called PiratesInvest<\/a> and it’s a high risk short term HYI program. It’s also one of the more obvious games around at the moment which you can clearly see from the cartoon style pirate-themed graphics. Mind you, I wouldn’t hold that fact by itself against PiratesInvest<\/a> either. All HYIPs are games but if anything this one just makes it more clear to you from the start, so you kinda know from the opening day you’re not getting involved with something serious so remember to spend accordingly if you decide to play.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe first thing I noticed about PiratesInvest<\/a> was the plans. Or to be precise the number of plans. There are six in total but depending on the size of your investment they in turn can be broken down into no less than 84 different sections. Now don’t worry, there’s absolutely no way I’m going to ask you to sit there reading while I try to describe all of them. I’ve only got 24 hours before I need to review something else so don’t have the free time anyway! And as a good number of them are both totally unfeasible and unaffordable (1800% after 28 days for instance \u2013 even the freshest of newbies knows to avoid that one!) I’ll just go through the main options you may wish to think about. But as always if you really do need more information on how to make a $100,000 \u201cinvestment\u201d (lol!) then feel free to refer to the PiratesInvest<\/a> website for yourself.<\/p>\n

Starting with a minimum spend of $10, PiratesInvest<\/a>‘s first plan pays out on expiry after just 1 single day<\/strong>. Payments already count your principal as part of the final amount. You’re perfectly free to spend anything up to $200,000 here if you wish, but as it’s unlikely the King of Saudi Arabia reads MNO I’ll just give you the main payment options here:
\nDeposits from $10 – $199 are paid 105%<\/strong>. Deposits of $200 – $399 get 106%<\/strong>. Spend from $400 – $599 and you will be paid 107%<\/strong>. If you join with $600 – $799 you are offered 108%<\/strong>. And finally (for me!) if you spend from $800 – $999 you will earn 109%<\/strong>. If you are prepared to go beyond that then please refer to the website for further details.<\/p>\n

Likewise with the second plan, there are over two dozen different payout options but I’m just going to stick with the ones readers might be realistically interested in. This time the plan runs for a term of 3 days<\/strong> but PiratesInvest<\/a> are still paying out on expiry<\/strong>. Payments include your principal and are as follows:
\n115%<\/strong> for deposits from a $10 minimum up to $199. 118%<\/strong> on deposits between $200 and $399. 121%<\/strong> for deposits from $400 up to $599. 124%<\/strong> for amounts between $600 and $799. And then 127%<\/strong> for larger deposits between $800 and $999.
\nAgain the program is perfectly happy to take hundreds of thousands of dollars from you into this plan, but if you are seriously comfortable with risking $1000 or more then again you will find the details you will need on the PiratesInvest<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

If you didn’t already think so then from this point on investments with PiratesInvest<\/a> get seriously risky. If you’re prepared for that then there are some seriously tempting rates on offer, however on closer inspection they’re really not significantly more profitable than the last plan (on a profit per day basis) to make it worth joining. Not enough anyway. Caution is as ever advised but you know with a $10 minimum spend it can be a fairly harmless risk as long as you keep it like that. Payments are made on expiry<\/strong> and the plan runs for 12 days<\/strong>. The following interest rates are offered if you join:
\n170% <\/strong>for $10 to $199, 182% for $200 to $399, 194% <\/strong>for $400 to $599, 206%<\/strong> for $600 to $799, and finally 218%<\/strong> interest is offered on deposits between $800 and $999.
\nPlease refer to the PiratesInvest<\/a> website if you wish to consider a larger deposit.<\/p>\n

The remaining plans have little to recommend them to be honest, not just because the returns are unfeasible but also due to the fact that the minimum investment goes too high to even think of it as an amusement. But if you like a risk \u2013 and I know many of you do \u2013 then the next plan pays on expiry<\/strong> after a term of 18 days<\/strong>. Minimum spend this time goes up to $25 and a sample of the rates being offered include 300%<\/strong> interest on amounts from $25 to $499, and 500% <\/strong>on deposits between $500 and $999.
\nAs with all the other plans you may deposit pretty much anything you like up to a $200,000 maximum so see the PiratesInvest<\/a> website if that includes you.<\/p>\n

The next plan is simple enough and just offers one rate regardless of how much you spend. However it’s going to cost you a minimum of $100 to find out if the astronomical 1800%<\/strong> paid on expiry<\/strong> can really be achieved or is just put there to dupe the newbies and the greedy. If you want to try your luck the maximum spend is $200,000 and the term expires after 28 days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

PiratesInvest<\/a>‘s final plan runs for a much shorter term of just 2 days and pays 200% interest on expiry, again regardless of how much you spend. Unfortunately this time the minimum spend is $5000 which I guess indicates where the admin is really steering his pirate ship, so be prepared to walk the plank if spending so much!<\/p>\n

As you can imagine payment options here are limited to just LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney where all transactions are final and irreversible, so if you find yourself sentimentally attached to your money then think things through before proceeding. The list of processors is unlikely to change but one thing that PiratesInvest<\/a> have in their favor \u2013 and something that’s vital to a game like this anyway \u2013 is instant payouts. You will still need to request you payout like normal but you should have it in your e-currency account in a matter of seconds. As long as the admin can keep this in place then there won’t be a problem.<\/p>\n

PiratesInvest<\/a> is running off a GoldCoders licensed script, is SSL secured and is hosted on a dedicated server with Dragonara support and protection against DDoS attacks. Customer support is available by filling out the ticketing form on the contacts page.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing to indicate that PiratesInvest<\/a> is anything other than a pure 100% online HYIP based game. Trust me, if there was really something out there that gave a 1800% return on your money I’d be doing it myself! But I know most of you guys seem to be comfortable enough with that aspect of the industry and choose to play anyway. So now I guess the main question is for those who prefer shorter term games like this one to decide which of the plans are you realistically most likely to get a return on. Not the return you might wish for, but the one you think you can actually get. So don’t get too ambitious but if you want to enjoy the game then why not? You never know your luck!<\/p>\n

DAILY NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Staying on the topic of PiratesInvest<\/a> you might have noticed that the program had been offline for approximately 8 hours and all you could see was this message instead of the website written in poor English:
\n\u201cWe the present pirates. We will back online within 2 hours! DO NOT WORRY, WE ONLINE FOR LONG TIME!<\/em>\u201d
\nI must say that despite the fears about the extremely short-term scam that was raised by that extended downtime by the site eventually came back online and (the most important thing) the instant payments were also resumed. I don’t know the reason for that downtime as my message to PiratesInvest<\/a> support while the site was offline remains unanswered. And I just hope that this will not happen in the future \u2013 for such short-term program as PiratesInvest<\/a> any downtime could be really harmful and it might be fortunate enough that they had to take the site down in the early stages while the site is not so popular yet.<\/p>\n

If we talk about a really popular short-term program we should take EarnPlaza<\/a> (reviewed here<\/a>). The program managed to get to the #3 spot on MNO Ranking after just 7 weeks online and is still performing extremely well. In the absence of any other serious short-term program that would capture the minds of investors it looks like EarnPlaza<\/a> offering 110% after 5 days, 130% after 10 days and 160% after 15 days paid to LR, PM and AP is what the serious players were looking for. After the collapse of UniteTrade<\/strong> EarnPlaza<\/a> definitely filled this gap and swiftly became \u201cNew HYIP Short Term Industry Leader<\/em>\u201d which is the new slogan featured on their rehashed banners. And it’s no exaggeration because they seem to have to short term HYIP market almost to themselves. You can see that the stable growth continues but that there is still some room to grow to reach the levels of UniteTrade<\/strong> at its peak.<\/p>\n

Of course, the past performance can’t be considered the best indicator of the viability of any HYI program but I believe that with EarnPlaza<\/a> we can see some really good stats. In the latest update from the program the admin Matt (interviewed here<\/a>) asked the members who possibly cannot access the site to contact him to white-list their IP-address which might be blacklisted due to the recent DDoS attack which was successfully mitigated by their hosting provider Dragonara. Also Matt asked some forgetful members to send him their payment processor Ids and reminded that the special 8% bonus is running this week which is available to members who make a $500 or more deposit into EarnPlaza<\/a> via PerfectMoney payment processor. And of course, do not forget about the cash contests sponsored by EarnPlaza<\/a> which is still running on a daily basis and which you can find on the specially dedicated MNO forum thread here<\/a> (the winner gets $5 to his LR account). Here is the latest newsletter from EarnPlaza<\/a> where you can find all the important news :
\n\u201cHello. I hope you are having a great weekend. Today I have been contacted by a few members who told that they cant access to EarnPlaza<\/a> website. Dear members, if someone have same problem please contact support with your IP and will will try to fix this asap. By the way please try to clean your cookies and cache it should work. We had a ddos attack yesterday but it seems like it didn’t really affect EarnPlaza<\/a> thanks to a Dragonara so I am really happy that we have moved to this server provider.
\nBy the way some of the members still didn’t contacted me back with their payment processor id`s. So I have to say this again. Dear members with following usernames please send your payment processor id as soon as possible to support:
\nhanga55 – please send as soon as possible your LR
\nhheni1 – please send as soon as possible your AP
\nThat’s all for today. All payments processed as usual and please dont forget about our weekly special. This week its a 8% bonus on PerfectMoney deposits starting from $500. There are also still going on cash contests on Money-News-Online forum, please check MNO forum<\/a> for a more info. Have a great weekend and see you soon.
\nBest regards, Matt Powell
\nEarnPlaza<\/a> Support<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

By the way, if the cash contest sponsored by EarnPlaza<\/a> is not enough I’m glad to report that I’m launching a new contest on my forum tonight (click this thread to participate) in conjunction and under sponsorship of a new low-ROI program called FelixFunds<\/a> that is paying 1.2%-2.3% on every business day forever and is going to be reviewed on MNO tomorrow. So if you want to earn some fast easy money from FelixFunds<\/a> and the MNO forum<\/a> please check out this thread<\/a> regularly for the next 10 days when 10 questions from FelixFunds<\/a> will be published. As usual, the winner who gives the first right answer will be rewarded with a cash prize of $5 sent straight to his LibertyReserve account. Good luck, everybody!<\/p>\n

The admin of CazaInvestment<\/a> (reviewed here<\/a>) admitted that the program had some issues with the weekly plan when accounts were not credited with weekly earnings properly. I received one more complaint from a reader today and therefore I would not advise to make any additional deposits into the weekly plan offering 6.5% for 21 days with weekly payouts but only limit yourself to the paying daily 3.2% for 45 days plan which seems to have no issues at all. The admin of CazaInvestment<\/a> replied to my support request today and told me that he’s going to contact the coder of the script and said that hopefully the issue would be fixed by the middle of the week. So far if you have your account in CazaInvestment<\/a> not credited with weekly earnings from the second plan I would suggest you submit a support ticket to the admin and he will pay you manually like he did for me today. More news from CazaInvestment<\/a> regarding the script issue will be in the next newsletter from them.<\/p>\n

I have to move GroupUniversal<\/strong> and FundsOMatic<\/strong> to Problem status on MNO due to confirmed selective payouts and multiple complaints from members. It looks like the programs only pay small amounts and to monitors, so I would not advise investing in them for the time being.<\/p>\n

As for GroupUniversal<\/strong>, you might remember that they changed their investment plans recently and made them shorter and more attractive. Apparently it was due to cashflow issues as straight after that I received a couple of complaints from readers about pending payouts and the unresponsiveness of the admin. Well, that’s not a very encouraging sign and usually indicates some issues in any HYIP. So I would not advise to invest in GroupUniversal<\/strong> which will remain on Problem status on MNO until the payouts resume and are paid to everybody and not selectively.<\/p>\n

FundsOMatic<\/strong> is kinda disappointing as well. While the smaller payouts are paid I received two complaints from my readers that they were not paid huge payouts. But the worst thing is that Randy, the admin of FundsOMatic<\/strong>, stopped replying to their emails as well. I have tried to contact him again for an explanation and will report on my blog when I receive a reply. Unfortunately, I cannot move FundsOMatic<\/strong> back to Paying status until all the outstanding payouts are paid to everybody. All further investments in FundsOMatic<\/strong> are not recommended at this point!<\/p>\n

A new program that was just added to Premium listing on MNO tonight is called Flinexa<\/a>. It’s just launched today and accepts investments made via LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and AlertPay to two short-term plans paid on expiry: 115% after 7 days and 144% after 14 days. The minimum to invest in both plans is $10 only and you have to request the payout on expiry. I like the unique customized script of Flinexa<\/a> program and the SSL-encryption and hosting on a dedicated server provided by Dragonara \u2013 one of the leaders in providing DDoS protection for HYIP sites. More about Flinexa<\/a> will be discussed in my detailed review of the program on MNO next week. Stay tuned for that, guys!<\/p>\n

I have been paid today by the following programs:
\nFxEconomy<\/a>, EarnPlaza<\/a>, GWDConline<\/a>, PawnShopFund<\/a>, TerraProfits<\/a>, CazaInvestment<\/a>, OilStructure<\/a>, PandaTrade<\/a>, FenixTrust<\/a>, HourlyInstant<\/a>, YesInvestment<\/a>, OptimumPride<\/a>, PiratesInvest<\/a>, InvestPlatforms<\/a>, FiboTradePro<\/a>, CherryShares<\/a> and MicroTechFund<\/a> (the first payment received).<\/p>\n

That’s all the news for today, guys. I hope to see you on MNO tomorrow when I’m going to review FelixFunds<\/a> and will again have all the latest news from the industry. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everybody!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
