CostaAlliance Review and Daily News from the Industry"},"content":{"rendered":"

Beware! CostaAlliance has stopped paying! Do not invest there!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hello everybody! Hope you’re all keeping well after the weekend and looking forward to getting started with some new opportunities for the working week ahead like I am. So before the first news update of the week I want to start with a brand new program called CostaAlliance<\/a> that’s been monitored on the MNO Premium List since just a couple of hours after starting up last Friday. It’s a short\/mid term program and one you might like, so let’s see what they have to offer.<\/p>\n

The very first thing you need to know about CostaAlliance<\/a> is that when you join in order to sweeten the deal the admin pays you a 7% bonus of whatever it is you deposited<\/strong>. There’s no strings and the money is available to be withdrawn immediately. It’s not added to your principal for you to earn interest on, and is not connected to the additional interest payments you earn on your investment. You simply take the money and you leave. Nothing else.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe actual choice of whether to join at all or not is going to be quite easy by the way, as CostaAlliance<\/a> only have one investment plan. You’re going to know straight away whether you like it or not so the 7% bonus will help sway a lot of people who wouldn’t normally go with this type of thing. You can join for a minimum deposit of $10, though are welcome to spend euros as well if you prefer. The investment term will then run for 21 calendar days<\/strong>, during which CostaAlliance<\/a> will pay you 7% per day<\/strong>. Your initial principal is included as part of those payments and will not be returned, so the final return comes to 147%. So that’s your own money back plus 47% net profit on top (though it’s actually 54% profit<\/strong>, don’t forget the signing-up bonus!). You would break even, ie earn back an amount equal to your deposit 14 days into the 21 day term, meaning there’s no further personal risk to your own money after that.<\/p>\n

So how about we take a look at how a theoretical investment might work out for us? Let’s say we deposit $100. The first thing that’s going to happen is CostaAlliance<\/a> will pay you 7% of that \u2013 in this case $7 \u2013 as a sort of thank you for joining. This does not count as one of your interest payments and can be withdrawn immediately. Following that you will then start to be paid $7 interest per day for the following 21 days. That adds up to $147 in total from which CostaAlliance<\/a> are already including your original principal which is not returned in a separate payment. That’s your own money back plus $54 as a net profit for yourself ($47 in interest plus the $7 bonus).<\/p>\n

I think what I like most about CostaAlliance<\/a> is that it offers everything I want in a short term HYIP, which is basically profit plus achievability. I mean I’m not saying it can be sustained forever (obviously it can’t) but in the hands of the right admin I see no reason why it can’t at least have a good run. So while yes, there are programs out there that appear to offer higher rates, how many of them will consistently deliver on those promises? So it’s better to stick with something that can be achieved and see a profit from it as opposed to a more ambitious program but ultimately looses you money.<\/p>\n

Apart from that I guess the only other thing you need to know about the investment plans would be what your payment options are. And I must say they’re pretty good, with CostaAlliance<\/a> taking all the popular online processors including SolidTrustPay, EgoPay, PerfectMoney, and LibertyReserve<\/strong>. Payouts to members are made manually by the admin so need to be requested from inside your CostaAlliance<\/a> private members account area. According to their own rules members will need to allow up to a maximum of 24 hours for all transactions to be completed, however to the admin’s credit I have to say they’ve all been extremely fast up until now and I was never left waiting any significant length of time. So kudos for providing a good service as well as a good program. In addition to that they accept direct bank wires<\/strong>, however if your using them to deposit or withdraw then contact the CostaAlliance<\/a> admin first for more details, as an entirely different set of rules (such as minimum transactions, processing times, etc) will apply.<\/p>\n

On the subject of design and online security, there have been some enormous improvements made to CostaAlliance<\/a> since they opened a couple of days ago. Specifically I’m talking about the addition of a secure SSL connection which was added today. Hosting is on a dedicated server with support and protection from Koddos and is running off a licensed ProBizScript which some longer term readers might be aware was quite popular in the industry some time back but not seen so often anymore. Not much wrong with it though so I don’t really know why. If you have any further comments or questions for the CostaAlliance<\/a> admin or any account related issues to be dealt with then you can get in touch by a variety of methods. To start with you can fill in your details on the e-mail ticketing form and submitting it through the contacts page, or else you can just mail the admin directly at the address listed. CostaAlliance<\/a> are also offering telephone support in addition to Live Chat support, though it’s not 24 hours and there’s nothing to indicate exactly what the working schedule is for the operators there. Social media users will find CostaAlliance<\/a> keeping a Facebook profile which in turn contains an e-mail address not listed on the program’s main website.<\/p>\n

Texts and website content seem to be original so at least some effort was made, but what remains bit of a mystery is what they actually say. Because as is typical of the online HYIP industry the whole thing is very vague and not explained in any great length, and certainly nothing you can independently verify as being truthful. So as is always the case, treat CostaAlliance<\/a> with the same level as caution as you would anything else in this business and stay comfortably below a spending level that you can afford to lose. That, and if joining CostaAlliance<\/a> then try to keep them as a smaller part of a wider and more diverse portfolio.<\/p>\n

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

<\/a>
\nPERFECTFOREX<\/a> \u2013 MOVED TO A NEW SERVER AFTER DDoS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The admin of PerfectForex<\/a> Jim (interviewed here<\/a>) proved the seriousness of his intent to run his program for a long time today by changing hosting provider and moving to a new server after a series of DDoS attacks that made the site inaccessible for quite some time and prevented it from accepting deposits into the different investment plans currently offered – 104%-125% after 1 day, 122%-250% after 5 days, 172%-800% after 15 days, 400%-2000% after 30 days, 900%-3500% after 45 days, 1000% after 10 days. I remind you that PerfectForex<\/a>(reviewed here<\/a>) has been running for 34 days now and hopefully the obstacles in the form of DDoS attacks will not affect the admin’s determination to continue paying to everyone on SolidTrustPay, EgoPay, PerfectMoney and LibertyReserve accounts. As promised all pending withdrawals will be processed within 24-36 hours which is a reasonable timeframe considering PerfectForex<\/a> has been offline for quite some time. Here’s the latest newsletter:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are moved to a new server<\/strong>
\nAs you can see our website been unavailable for a some time.

Another quality short term program GoldenPayment<\/a> (reviewed here<\/a>) also made the move to BlockDos after experiencing attacks. After 23 days online GoldenPayment<\/a> keep pleasantly surprising members with stable and on time payouts on the following investment plans – 105% after 1 day, 120% after 3 days, 150% after 7 days, 325% after 15 days. In the recent interview with my blog (click here<\/a> to read it) the admin of GoldenPayment<\/a> Dennis explained why SolidTrustPay and EgoPay were not added from the very beginning but only later while LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney were both accepted from day one. And finally the advertising banners of GoldenPayment<\/a> were also updated to reflect the change and the extended list of payment processors which now also includes STP and EP. All of the latest news from GoldenPayment<\/a> \u2013 a wonderful short term program \u2013 can be read below:<\/p>\n

\nMALAYSIANINC<\/a> \u2013 DOMAIN REGISTRAR MIGRATION AND MORE DOMAINS PURCHASED<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It appears that MalaysianINC<\/a> that was just reviewed on my blog last night (click here<\/a> to read it) had some issues with their domain registrar recently which prompted it to move the domain elsewhere and also register a few more domains that will accommodate the program if something else bad happens with the main one. I noticed that the recent malicious activities from PublicDomainRegistry.com administration prohibit and suspend domains of HYIPs and any HYIP related websites and therefore would not recommend any HYIP admins using that company or any affiliated resellers. There are a plenty of other good domain registrar companies that will gladly accept and accommodate you.<\/p>\n

In any case, thanks to the admin of MalaysianINC<\/a>, the necessary preventive measures have been taken and the site is now on a new registrar with a few other domains available to back them up just in case. The program is still processing payouts fast and within five minutes to all accepted payment processors \u2013 SolidTrustPay, EgoPay, LibertyReserve, and PerfectMoney. MalaysianINC<\/a>‘s plans include four variations with fluctuating returns and the original principal returned on expiry – 1.62%-2.06% for 15 business days, 1.81%-2.18% for 30 business days, 2.15%-2.43% for 60 business days, 2.63%-2.95% for 120 business days. Their latest update is below:<\/p>\n

\nFELMINAALLIANCE<\/a> \u2013 NO INTEREST TODAY DUE TO HOLIDAY IN THE US<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Please note that some of the programs that only pay on business days might not be doing so today due to a banking holiday in the US today when allegedly such programs can’t \u201ctrade\u201d and pay investors. One such program is FelminaAlliance<\/a> (reviewed here<\/a>) who informed everyone they were having a day off. The program observes all official holidays in the US and Panama. The two investment plans with principal returns on expiry which FelminaAlliance<\/a> accepts via LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, EgoPay, and SolidTrustPay processors are 0.8%-1.4% for 90 business days, and 1%-1.6% for 180 business days. Today’s announcement is as follows:<\/p>\n

\u201c[FelminaAlliance<\/a>] Official Newsletter<\/strong>
\nThis is an official newsletter from FelminaAlliance<\/a> Inc.
\nMonday, February 18, 2013, is Washington’s Birthday in the United States.
\nWe observe the official holidays in the US and Panama. According to our terms of service, we do not pay interest on weekend days and official holidays. Therefore, no interest will be paid on this day.
\nPlease do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions and need help with anything. Your thoughts on how to improve our website and the services we offer are more than welcome.
\nBest Regards, Marketing Department,
\nFelminaAlliance<\/a> Inc.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\nWALDMANDIAMOND \u2013 PAYOUTS STOPPED! DO NOT INVEST!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Please note that WaldmanDiamond<\/b> stopped paying yesterday without any prior notice and apparently the admin decided to scam after just a few weeks online. I must say the program was walking on thin ice to begin with by choosing the name of a genuine and respected business who pledged to put an end to this cheap scam by blocking the domain name through legal means. I guess the admin of WaldmanDiamond<\/b> new what was coming and just stopped paying. Actually the program hasn’t even completed one cycle and no investors were in profit, so we can safely consider it a fast scam and a total and utter failure. It was surely one of the stupidest things an admin could do. Please do not invest anymore, guys!<\/p>\n

\nMNO TALKBACK<\/a> \u2013 POLL RESULTS AND NEW POLL ADDED<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s time to draw the results of the latest poll on MNO TalkBack<\/a> and pose one more question for readers. First, thanks to everyone who voted in the last one where I tried to get your view on the role of HYIP monitors. So let’s start with that. The question was \u2013 What do you think of the role played by monitors in the HYIP industry?<\/p>\n

The most popular answer with 67.6% <\/strong>of votes said \u201cI think they are important but I only trust a couple and ignore the rest.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d I very much agree on that point and humbly hope that MNO is on the list of those few monitors that can be trusted. I work hard in maintaining the most accurate and up-to-date status of the programs listed on my monitor and always move any in question to Problem status fast, and usually as soon as I get a confirmed complaint from a reader. But yes, the trusted monitors can be very useful for an online investor in determining the true status of a program he wishes to join, while some slow and stupid monitors when statuses not changed for weeks can be extremely dangerous to your wallet. That is why it’s of utmost importance to remove such monitors from list and do not check them all over again. Remember that only hitting their advertising earnings will make them think twice before collaborating with HYIP admins and displaying an incorrect status for a scam.<\/p>\n

The second most popular answer with nearly 19% <\/strong>votes said \u201cThey provide a vital service to investors and would really limit my activities if I couldn’t use them. The more there are the better.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d This reflects the views of many investors who don’t want to limit their attention to only a handful of trusted monitors. Well, this might be useful for you as long as you realize that some statuses on monitoring sites can be wrong and should not be taken lightly.<\/p>\n

The third option with 8% <\/strong>of the votes believe monitors to be \u201cSelf-serving mercenaries who line their own pockets and don’t care about their readers. Pay them no attention.<\/strong><\/em>\u201d Well, it’s true that many monitors are only here for the money and they don’t really care for the investors. As I said already, such sites should be avoided by all means, but some of them genuinely try to help. Or at least tell the truth when aware of it.<\/p>\n

Finally, the least popular response with 5.4% <\/strong>of the vote said \u201cThey don’t really tell me anything I don’t already know so don’t see much point in following them.<\/strong><\/em>\u201d Usually that would be a view held by the most experienced investors left disappointed by their dealings with monitors in the past and use alternative sources for information. Well, this can be justified too, and those few who can get around without the help of monitors are possibly the most independent investors at all.<\/p>\n

The new question I’m posting tonight asks the following \u2013 Do interviews with HYIP admins on MNO influence your decision to invest in a program?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know attitudes to MNO interviews with admins are different and so I’m looking forward to hearing your opinions. Your choices are the following:<\/p>\n

a) Yes, I find them useful for judging the admin’s communication skills, his attitude to investors, early warning signs, and can help me spot bad programs as well as good.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

b) No, I don’t find them helpful as the admins always have their own agenda and rarely tell the truth about what they don’t want you to know.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

c) Sometimes they can be interesting to read, sometimes they’re not, but it really depends on the individual admin.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
