News on specific programs

PIPS (People In Profit System): Bryan Marsden, the CEO of PIPS, has made the following update this week on the ROLClub forum:
"We will eventually be back, the timing is dependent on the BN investigation resolution and the length of time a new legal structure takes to setup. It will not be in its original form, we had almost completed the work on the restructuring when this all happened.
Ever heard the saying 'Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted', there are a lot of legal issues for lawyers to go through in connection with the investigation. Waiting until charged (if charged) and appearing in court before engaging a lawyer is bit late in the day."

Global Mutual: GM has conducted some major software and server updates to enhance the company's website performance. All payouts are currently being made on schedule.

StudioTraffic: ST has implemented its own debit card, which can be used with ATMs worldwide. Its release is currently anticipated.

Reality Millions: Even though the program's members are getting verified, their withdrawal requests are not being honored. Problems with creating support tickets are also being reported. No progress in terms of payouts has occured so far, even for those members who chose not to continue with the program and requested refunds.

You can discuss these and many other programs with fellow high-yield investors on our forum at http://www.hyipdiscussion.com

E-gold: Past, Present, and Future

In 1996 E-gold Ltd. was formed in the Island of Nevis - one of the major offshore entities in the financial world. This put a start to a new form of payment on the Internet - fast, secure, and irreversible.

Nowadays, E-gold is one of the two most popular methods of payment on the web (altogether with Paypal, which is more oriented on auction sales, but slowly loses its popularity due to the charge-back option meaning that a payment can be reversed by sender). All E-gold account balances are backed by large storages of precious metals the company possesses, namely of gold, silver, and platinum, with gold being the most popular by an overwhelming margin. This allows account balances not to be tied to a particular currency (like USD or CAD in case with Paypal), but only to the prices of the above-mentioned metals. Taking into consideration the fact that gold is scarce nowadays (all large natural deposits of it have already been discovered), it can only gradually increase in value on a large time scale.

At the same time, payments can be conducted in numerous currencies by simply transferring the equivalent amount of gold to another E-gold account. For instance, if one needs to send somebody US $100, he simply chooses US Dollar as a preferred currency from the drop-down menu, enters "100" in the amount section, and the equivalent amount of gold in grams is sent instantaneously and will clear on the receiver's account within a few seconds, regardless of his location. No matter what monetary equivalent you are choosing to conduct a particular transaction (e.g. USD, CAD, EUR etc), no conversion fee is applicable.

In contrast to Paypal, which is not available in many countries, E-gold can be used virtually anywhere, regardless of one's citizenship or country of residence. Given this, altogether with the fact that E-gold is fully offshore and accounts are free to open, it is easy to realize reasons for the emerging popularity of this method of payment.

E-gold has a list of trusted exchangers placed on its website - this is where one can buy or sell his gold for cash. We advise to be careful with services offering to exchange your E-gold and use only the one's listed on its website.

The irreversibility of E-gold transactions has both its advantages and disadvantages. One main advantage can be expressed by the words "Get paid, stay paid" - this prevents the possibility of sellers getting scammed after they have shipped a particular good to a client or provided certain services to him.

On the other hand, the irreversibility of E-gold payments is widely used by fraudsters, especially the ones in the world of investing. They open fake investment programs, collect deposits from naïve members, cash out, and rush with the money. As for the investors, their money is lost forever, since the transactions cannot be reversed and personal information of the receiving account holder can be provided only upon a court order or legal subpoena being issued. To obtain one, a legal claim needs to be filed with a court process being initiated. However, the costs of hiring a lawyer are much higher than the amount of money one has lost, so most cases go unreported.

Another big issue is hackers. For this reason E-gold uses extensive security measures, such as SSL (Security Socket Layer), turning numbers, and virtual keyboard (SRK) to prevent the users' passwords from being detected by Trojans and key-loggers. The installation of proper anti-virus software and firewall, altogether with periodical cleaning of browser cache, would greatly eliminate the possibility of one's E-gold being hacked.

The total amount of funds being involved in E-gold transactions currently equals to several million US Dollars daily and keeps growing exponentially. Once E-gold becomes a widely acceptable method of payment (both online and offline), with a developed system of multi-currency debit cards being implemented, it will truly change the system of monetary relations in the world, with high fees, reversed payments, and pending periods becoming history - as opposite to instant, safe and irreversible transactions.

Hit and Run: 12dailypro
http://www.12dailypro.com/?ref=59657

12daily pro is a popular autosurfprogram that was in operation for around 6 months paying constantly 12% daily for 12 days. We took the plunge and invested 3k into it. The staff is responsive, payouts where always on time. DOnt get me wrong here, there is no doubt that this is a clever ponzi program and that it will fold (we think probably around Xmas) However the small timeframe needed to regain your kapital + a hefty cash bonus (144% in total back) make this a short therm winner. Get in now, drop a big sum and regain your principal out after 12 days.
Chance for a win: 92%
Max advised to invest: 6k (is also the programs maximum)
We invested: 3k
Program is going to be added to the list of hyipinvestment asap to fuel the autosurf further as we think the staff is responsive and knows how to run a program like this.

In Focus: FastMarket

FastMarket.com claims to be an offshore financial entity registered in the British Virgin Islands. The program opened its doors to public in mid-2005 - before that time it had allegedly existed as a private invitation-only program at members.fastmarket.com (however, an invitational code is still required to join the program). Invitations became available for prospective investors after a four-month period of planning and preparation, conducted by the company's management. According to the information provided on the program's website, FastMarket specialists allegedly have a multi-year experience in the area of financial, tax and insurance planning. Currently, the company claims to be involved with Foreign Exchange (FOREX), Stocks, Stocks on Margin, Commodities, Real Estate, and fixed income products. Despite this, the company's staff members demonstrate a clear lack of basic knowledge on the key concepts of stock exchange and currency markets, which can be noted if one chooses to have a live chat session with the program's customer support. The President of Fast Market wishes to remain anonymous, but says that he has been working for many years as an international management consultant, dealing with protection of personal and business assets as well as with high-yield investing.

The program currently accepts E-gold, Bank Wire transfers, and Western Union. E-bullion and IntGold are considered as possible methods of payment in the future. The minimal deposit is US $5 with no maximum being set (however, the company might request a proof of funds for deposits over US $5M). There is a minor risk involved with investing in financial markets and trading - hence, the company warns its investors not to invest the amount of money they cannot afford to lose. Fast Market offers several plans, where the returns depend on the size of your investment and the depository option you have chosen (compounding or non-compounding). The principal is held locked for the period of six month - afterwards, it can be withdrawn upon request. Alternatively, you can submit such a request after the first month - in this case, it will be processed within the next 30 business days, with a 20% fee being applicable. Speaking of interest, it can be withdrawn at any time. No fees are applicable in the process of withdrawing funds. In addition, the company is offering a $50 bonus to its registered members and a 10% referral commission for each new member you attract to the program.

The website of Fast Market appears to be designed by a team of professional web-developers, with a high level of member's accounts security being implemented. The company's staff can be contacted in a variety of ways: e-mail, telephone, or a live chat session with one of the program's support technicians available online on a 24/7 basis. The company declared an address in Miami (Florida, USA) as a physical location of its office (see the results of our investigation regarding this matter below) and a mailing address in the Bahamas. E-mail inquiries and requests are normally addressed within one business day. The possibility of a DDOS attack is supposed to be eliminated by the use of multiple servers, located all over the world. [?]

We have contacted the company in an attempt to verify the validity of their business. Mario, a member of FastMarket's support staff, provided us with an address in Miami (Florida, USA) claiming it to be the actual physical location of the company's headquarters. However, this address turned out to be nothing but a mere mailbox. The program's administration was very reluctant to explain the reasons for fake information being presented to us. Taking this into consideration, we recommend our subscribers to approach FastMarket with serious caution and think twice before investing with it.
