It's been awhile, actually too long since I have been around. Sometimes life committments sorta take priority. The last few years have kinda been uphill, and the last few months - well, how can I say this >> very trying and tireing.

I have plenty of things to update around the place to get myself back on track. Loseing my access has been a problem, but I am determined to get back on top of things.

Over the coming days I should be on a roll.

Hope to see you around.

This looks like something to take some notice of. Yes we all like the quick daily payments, but have a closer look at this one. Three plans, but paid on expiry. Arbitage Trading and admin says he needs the time to exchange dollars to moneybookers to trade. Very well presented site, not just a throw together, so thought I would put my money where my mouth is. lol

Another thing that is a definite plus. Accepts AlertPay and SolidTrustPay (verified) also accepts LibertyReserve for those that prefer that.

Naturally, there are no guarantees, but definitely a better option in the market currently. Happy money making.

13/03/2011 Lazy Sunday

2011-03-13T16:06:00.002-05:00

It's been a long long time since I had a lazy Sunday. Okay, had better rephrase that! I have plenty of things to do, but can't get outside to do them, due to wet weather. The grass needs mowing, car needs a clean out. Notice I said grass? Well maybe after a few mows it will return to lawn. lol My gardens are overgrown with weeds, so demoralizing when I look out the back window. Hopefully during the week it will get dry enough to mow when I get home in the evenings. Our days are getting shorter now that we are heading towards winter. Not looking forward to the cold, but in the meantime enjoying the "not so hot" weather.

What am I doing moneymaking? Not much currently actually. However I did join Carbon-Profits and am enjoying a slickly run site. Paid approximately the same time each day after request, which to me indicates the admin is very organized. I don't know know who the admin is, but to date has been running the site quite well.

12/03/2011 Life Lesson

2011-03-12T06:50:00.000-06:00

All the world disasters these days are of great concern to many. With our floods and cyclones here in Australia, the Christchurch Earthquake in New Zealand and now Japan with a huge earthquake and devastating tsunami. It's very trying times for us all from all corners of the globe. Firstly my thoughts and prayers go out to all whom have been affected by loss of family, friends and work colleagues. They will live on in our hearts and will always be near. It's just that we can never share any moments together here on this earth anymore. It's heart-wrenching, sad, but life goes on even though you are internally screaming for the world to stop.
The hard reality is that sometimes it takes events and experiences like these to break down some of our barriers and realize what we should be doing on this earth. Living life by taking the time to smell the roses. Appreciate what we have, before it's too late.

2011-02-23T14:20:00.001-06:00

Time is a weird thing. Some have plenty of time to do nothing, others have no time to do plenty. Then you have the problem of trying to make time. Why do we all evolve around time? Time management is where I am currently at. Making sure that my hours are used in a way I can get the best out of them. Hmmm pretty deep or confusing huh.

Today i kicked started my day with some humor. Got me in a great frame of mind. Thought I would share this as it is a classic.

09/02/2011 Dance party is over

2011-02-09T15:40:00.000-06:00

Woke this morning to an email from Ivan the Admin of SynergyMoney. Yeh, kinda had a feeling that it wouldn't be good news. But of course was hopeing it would be something cheerful. Anyway this is the update.

Important update
Dear all,

This is an important update so please take the time to read it carefully. Given the recent circumstances in respect to the inflow of funds coming in to the Synergy Money payment accounts we have to implement some immediate actions. Let me first say that I will work out a solution that serves best the interest of the members of Synergy Money.

**What lead to this situation**
The big ROI (considering the 25% return of the serial plan) and the slow growth during our 3th month. We raised bigger deposits during our 3th month from our old members who were increasing their accounts regularly but the new members joining were more reluctant to deposit new money in the program. This is simply a natural cause and it is better to take actions before the imminent end.

**What is next**
First step will be to disable all deposits and cashouts from the program. Also the deposits that were made this week will be refunded in full. Right now I have a list of all the members and how much they have made or did not make from the program. I will zero out the accounts which gained profit. You can see if you are in profit or not by the ROI calculation on the home page of your back office (Wallet funding – Wallet cashouts). The accounts which are still owed will be refunded to the point of breaking even their investment amount. In the case of potential opportunity to generate profit on the top of your principal amount, I will definitely take it under consideration and pay deserved bonuses to those members. The amount will depend on the success rate and how the process of those opportunities has performed.

**A matter of consideration**
The whole process might take some time. That is why I am going to refund specific amounts on biweekly terms. The first refund round will start on 23th of February. However, investors with losses under $10 will be refunded faster. Each refund week I will be crediting your account with the appropriate interest on the difference amount (Wallet funding – Wallet cahsout) and it will be announced to you via email and published on our News section. I cannot give you an estimate or a number of how much that would be. Then, you will be able to request a withdrawal to your payment processor. The minimum to withdraw will be $1. Your accounts will be reflected with the difference amount of your invested money and your withdrawals.
I will be keeping you updated on regular bases. I am not going anywhere and the site will stay online for as long as it takes.

Ivan

My opinion? Well all seemed to rockin' along nicely. Unable from my end to tell how many members there actually were and or what they were doing, I was under the impression that we were slowly growing. But as per the explaination in the above email and the fact that in reality it is only the owner/admin that sees the whole picture and decisions are made from them, well it turns out reasonably well. Ivan didn't run away and hopefully he will hold true to the claims he has made. As always, anything is a risk and depends how you play it. I had fun, risked a fair amount of money to make a few bucks. That's how the cookie crumbles.

26/01/2011 The program with a twist

2011-01-26T15:11:00.000-06:00

It's been awhile, but I'm back now and looking forward yet again. I have been meaning to update my journey so far with SynergyMoney, which is absolutely awesome.If you haven't had a close look yet, you should. The plans are quite workable, and to date the admin, Ivan (from the Netherlands) has been handling the site almost perfectly. Can't say perfect as there is always room for improvement, which has been ongoing, another plus really. It's all about teamwork and a good intentioned admin. Seems all the ducks are in a row, and also it's fun in the MMG thread.

I joined this one back on 11 November, and this link shows what I thought about it then. See here. Still enjoying the program and of course the payments.
The plan that I prefer is the one with a twist. Meaning every 15 days you get 25% of your upgrade back. Yes you can withdraw it, but remember your earning decreases to 2% of you current upgrade level. (the reduced amount) Bit confusing? Check out the FAQ and the website, it is described in clear terms. For me, I am happy being a member of SynergyMoney Timely payments and good interaction with the admin.

20/01/2011 What a start to the year!

2011-01-20T16:44:00.001-06:00

Personally it hasn't been a great start to the year, but it could have been a lot worse. Having to contend with floods from January 1, not being able to access vital tri-weekly treatment for my son because of road closures then to have major flooding where we sent him for the interim. It's been just a tad stressful. To top it off, he became critically ill with an unknown infection and has been hospitalized ever since, which was a week ago now. Thankfully things have calmed down however he requires more surgery to regain a semi permanent access point for his treatment and that's yet to come. But soon.

Compared to others here we are lucky, as we will have a roof over our head when we eventually are able to return home. Like many others I too feel that here in Queensland we have not seen the last of the floods and storms given that we still have months of cyclone season and the weather charts keep showing unusual activity out there in the Coral Sea where most of our threats are formed. Not dwelling on that, but looking just to each day. Where I am staying here in Brisbane I daily am running to people whom have been victims of the floods also. Most seem to have resigned themselves to the fact they are lucky to have their family and not too upset about possessions they have lost. I have faith that if we all band together as Aussies that together we can get on with living. After all, that IS what life is all about.

31/12/2010 - Happy New Year 2011 - a whole new decade!

2010-12-31T18:58:00.000-06:00

28/12/2010 - 2010 - the year that was

2010-12-28T12:13:00.000-06:00

Here we are at the end of yet another year. As usual we had the highs and lows which is part of this industry. Seeing we had supposedly the worst year, all the doom and gloom about being in crisis mode. But looking through where I ventured during 2010, yeah I lost in a few, but at the end of the day I am in front. As I always say, it's a gamble but I prefer to hedge my bets and hopefully chose better places to earn and play.

It may seem that I don't post much here, which probably I don't. I prefer quality as to quantity, but since July I have had some major offline issues to handle. It's on going, and life has a strange way of throwing things at you and quite frankly, one just has to do the best they can with what they have. I juggle between putting a roof over our head, working full time and being chief transporter, carer and organizer for my son and my online moneymaking. It's a handful at the best of times, but even though I seemingly aren't around. I am :) Forever reading, looking or digging for something worth a shot, and here in the shed is where I post my personal experiences with them.

What do I think is install for 2011? I have this feeling that we are going to see some great programs, not necessarily talking about huge programs, remember the bigger they are, the harder they fall. A new year, new innovations, ideas. Can't wait to see the changes. We have to change with the industry, many still keep to same old thoughts, but horizons need to be lifted as technology moves forward, so must we. The days of 12DP are finished. Really that was a once of, and the programs akin to StudioTraffic, DadnDaves and I could go on, but those days are over. Personally I prefer surfs, but hyip seem to be more the go these days. We went through the profitsharing phrase. Just a thought, wouldn't it be great to somehow have a mix within the one program. Script writers are already probably working on it.

Well I have babbled on enough here. I'm looking forward to a very productive 2011. As always, remember nothing lasts forever and gamble responsibly. Only spend what you are prepared to risk, once it's spent it's gone, anything back is a bonus, and that's what we play for. Seed plus profit.

Hope to see ya round :)

25/12/2010 Merry Christmas to all - Aussie time yay!!

2010-12-24T08:03:00.000-06:00

12/12/2010 Got some spare LR pocket change?

2010-12-12T14:56:00.002-06:00

LibertyTopSpot the game that won't cost you an arm and a leg to chance your luck. This site kicked off in late 2008 when doublers, game sites and remember those heads and tail sites, well they were very popular. This site still remains fully operational.

I recently contacted the Admin, who gave me a bit of history about his site. What attracted him to running this was that it is fully automotive, therefore requiring not much work on his behalf. This is what he said:

I can recall one player getting over $40.00 for a $1.00 spend but not much players out there now.
I can add other tables like a $5.00 or $10.00 or less $3.00 ect where the winnings can add up to a nice little sum but if i cant get guys to play with $0.25 not likely to get them to part with $5.00 lol.

I use it like you said to advertise my site's mainly. Some months i dont even cover the hosting
but its the enjoyment i like and giving others a chance to win for little outlay.

Not sure why more users dont use a referral link as its a free 10% as no game spend required.

It's easy to play, just chose the table level you wish to spend to, currently there are four. .25c, .50c, .75c and $1. Your LR batch number must end with the next number above the person on the topline to put you on the top. Once there everyone spending to try and get to the top line well you get 80% of their spend if they miss out. It's a great little game, fun and also for those who wish to promote, you can earn some referral commissions along the way. Did I mention payments are instant? Well they are :)

The LibertyTopSpot banner would have to easily be the oldest banner here in the Shed, I recently upgraded the new coloured banner. What are you waiting for. Gotta be in it to win it right? There is also a thread in MMG, and go check it out as the admin is offering some freebies, until they run out of course.

11/12/2010 Why didn't the bad news surprise me

2010-12-11T05:27:00.001-06:00

Last month I had contact of an internet associate and he said "takes you back to the ol days doesn't it with all these surfs popping up". My response was "if they had appeared a month earlier I would have been tempted". Having been through the "dreaded December" scenario many times before, with the way the industry is these days, well you really should ask yourself the question. "Why would an admin open up a site now?" There are some logically answers, but plenty of illogical ones to.

The big kickoff sites get plenty of attention and players play how they deem fit. The bigger investors aren't in the public eye, until the wheels fall off and get burned then some, only some come to the forum and complain how they lost $??K. From where I sit, they sure had plenty to gain had they pulled it off, but would we ever hear about that? More than likely not. [If you don't know the sites I am talking about specifically, than consider yourself lucky as you weren't a member, neither was I, but I read plenty]

Anyhow, I am not hear to condone or condemn, just to remind potential players that there is a risk. Chose safer bets if you can, gamble responsibly and IF things go south before your in profit, well it won't hurt so much. Also remember, nothing and I mean absolutely nothing lasts forever.

30/11/2010 Great potential but no support

2010-11-30T14:43:00.001-06:00

I have just reluctantly removed two sites from paying status. GWDC and Funds-O-Matic. Yes reluctantly, as both these sites had potential, IMO. But as a one way street it will never work.

GWDC (Global Wealth Distribution Centre) did just that. Distributed until there was no more to give. No recent upgrades as members were just happy to bleed the accounts dry.

Funds-O-Matic had the new AlertPay rules to abide by, so plans changed. We didn't get to run the cycles that were initally promised, however still would have been a nice return with an Admin that can be trusted.

I have been strapped for time lately with offline issues, but still about doing my looking and digging :) Will be posting again tomorrow with an update on SynergyMoney

11/11/2010 - Synergy Money -Great plans- take a peek

2010-11-11T07:01:00.000-06:00

Brand new program SynergyMoney. Interesting as this has been whispered about for weeks now. Finally unleashed today. Okies it's a HYIP - no surfing :) Payment Processors: AlertPay, SolidTrustPay, PerfectMoney and LibertyReserve. Check this out!! Read carefully.

All term plans have a 90 day expiration period. After the 90 days, you will receive the full amount of your principal investment. All interest earnings are accumulated daily, 7 days a week, and they can be withdrawn at any time. Interest is calculated according to the size of your investment.

The serial plan pays out your principal investment in 4 equal installments (parts) during a 60 day period. This means that you receive 25% of your principal on the 15th, 30th, 45th and 60th day of your deposit duration. The interest rate is 2% and it applies to your current deposit level, which changes every 15 days. This means that with time your earnings would decrease as the current level of your deposit decreases.

I decided to give SynergyMoney a go. Will keep ya updated on how it goes. Remember if you decided to venture, gamble responsibly as always.

31/10/2010 Happy Halloween to all who celebrate

2010-10-31T15:15:00.000-05:00

Halloween time!! Enjoy your trick or treating where ever you are in the world.

30/10/2010 StarWarsSurf - back starting afresh - LR only

2010-10-30T10:49:00.000-05:00

I know that many members used AP here and reality is that AP and credit cards plus the new AP rules for HYIPs is strangling the use of AP by this industry. Now believe what you may regarding StarWarsSurf Admin, but put yourself in his shoes. Now we all know this is a risky business, and should be played as such, but using credit card for funding, plus spending more than you can afford to lose. lol Sorry for laughing, but that phrase always gets me. Who can afford to lose money? Should say keep within your means or something along those lines. Okies I think you get the picture. Only use what you are prepared to lose. Like going to a Casino, get your chips and play. Sometimes you can cash out and be a winner, other times you lose. It's the nature of the game.
Back to StarWarsSurf, hmm it's the middle of the night for me. Slap no excuse!! I really wanted to voice my opinion on why I have decided to continue with StarWarsSurf. I upgraded earlier this evening and got paid instantly, with LR of course. My account has been zeroed like everyone else, and SWS is starting afresh. I am hopeful that other members will see that the Admin is running a reasonable outfit. He hasn't taken off with the AP, it's frozen in AP's coffers. They have done this many times before to many programs, and to date I know of a few that the funds after a year or so, still have not been released! What is an admin to do?
Anyway, I am in for the ride with LR only StarWarsSurf and I certainly won't be screaming if it doesn't work out, as it needs to be a team effort. If we all stood back and watched, waiting, well nothing would happen. So I took the plunge and hope that others will too. Will be updating here in the payments department :)

25/10/2010 GWDC online update!!

2010-10-25T06:20:00.003-05:00

For those who have been trying to get to the site GWDCONLINE you are aware there has been a server change, well it didn't last long. Just received this email from GWDC support.

GWDC Online New Server Testing
Aussie Lady ,

I understand some frustrations, I to am feeling it with you. I expected Staminus network to be best able to suit our needs. However for what ever reasons they felt that after only 5 hours on their network that they could not handle additional sites such as our.

I am testing the new KoDDos server. All the information is here.

Will mail soon with more information.

Albert,
Global Wealth Distribution Center

So let's give Albert sometime and let him sort things out. Better to do it now than later. Stay tuned!!

Sites up and running!! yahoooooooo

23/10/2010 Roundup Update!! Hope your tuned in

2010-10-23T20:07:00.001-05:00

Any of you that read here will notice that I don't join every new program that appears. To reinterate what I do and why is that I look for quality of sites. Okies yeah I might have missed some, but hey no one has the perfect formula in this business. Now where are we? Current sites, only three. But of course that can change rapidly depending on what happens.

Funds-O-Matic Loving this site, no drama just nice timely weekly payments after request.

GWDCONLINE Brand new!! But awesome script and this admin knows what he is doing. Joining now is a good option, I have received my first cashout from daily earnings. But note: no payments on Sundays and Public Holidays. 3% a day for 40 days, and can use account balance to purchase as well. Remember always take some back each time but building it a great option as well. Do the sums and work the program to suit yourself. Fingers crossed, this could be a keeper. {There has been some downtime with the site, but teething problems) I actually just got this member email:

GWDC Online update
First I want to welcome everyone to Global Wealth Distribution Center online (GWDConline.com).

This is just a short welcome and a quick update. I know that we are brand new and things may not look so good right now with some noticed down time, So for this reason i am setting up on staminus network which is known to have a good DDOs protection.

~~I know some have found hat they can access the site via current IP http://67.23.166.72 how ever this will be changed very soon.~~ Has now been rectified with new hosting.

I want to say that all distributions have been fulfilled as of now. I have current backups which run hourly.

While I know that no down time is good of any kind I am truly thankful that it happened so early on before we really even get started. This gives us the chance to correct any thing that may prevent smoother operation in the future.

With deepest sincerity,
Albert

Active positive Admin.

StarWarsSurf Has been performing extremely well, however the last few days issues arrising and I had to put in the on hold section. I received no payment today yet says it did on the website and yesterday I upgraded before surfing and when I completed surfing I received only part payment due, even less than I would have without the upgrade. No transactions reflect what happened, so there is a script problem and I will wait and see how this all pans out.

Enjoy ya weekend, hope I didn't bore you too much, but needed to update on a few fronts. Laters

22/10/2010 Global Wealth Distribution Centre - GWDC

2010-10-22T06:53:00.001-05:00

New opportunity this one. The script is very informative lol. Seems you get an email for everything, I actually like it. Okay time is right for a stable longer term site. 3% for 40 days, that's 120% all up, daily cashouts. Early days yet and I see MNO's logo on the site but he hasn't posted yet :)

I have a feeling this could be a good move joining GWDCONLINE. Remember the golden rules though :) Laters, be posting my experiences here. Keep an eye out :)

20/10/2010 Weekly payments since 25 June.

2010-10-20T15:23:00.000-05:00

Really I have been enjoying Funds-O-Matic. Many members, including myself are now in profit and no signs of slowing. The admin, RandyM runs a smooth ship and currently boasts all payments withing 24 hours of request. Not bad for a program that has just shy of 5000 members. The latest member email asks that only one payment request be made per day, which really isn't a big ask and certainly makes sense with the volume of payments being made.

Funds-O-Matic is a HYIP and you can read what I have said about the program previously here. No surfing so some work is still required and that is posting your payments in the forums and/or voting in some of the better monitors. I always like to say the proof is in the pudding :) So don't just take my word for it, but Funds-O-Matic has proven stability and growth. Check it out for yourself.

18/10/2010 Threads that consist of mostly Monitors posts

2010-10-18T16:58:00.000-05:00

Something I feel needs to be said in the current times of this industry. Do you notice how many monitor sites there are these days? Seems every man and his dog are becoming one. The reason is to capture the RC. Okay, that's plain and simple. But looking at if from a prospective client's point of view, well I would be looking at a few things. One, be aware that most (not all, as there are a few monitors that are looking out for members welfare) but most are just there for the RC and/or are paid to post payments. Okay, with that information in hand, on reading threads how come payments aren't posted everyday? They sure as hell are receiving them, but can't even be bothered to pull their end of the bargin. Seems that they concentrate on the new opportunities. What I am trying to say is: Watch the monitors, work out which ones are working and actually monitoring the sites.

To me, something that is off putting when considering joining an opportunity is the threads where it seems only the monitors are posting. It's people like you and me that use real money, yes, from our own pocket that need to be posting in the forums to show that indeed we are getting paid. We also need to post when we aren't, but of course should follow the programs protocol before doing so. Information and real experience is what makes or breaks many a program.

So all those members out there that are not posting because nobody else does. IT'S TIME YOU SHOWED SUPPORT IN PROGRAMS THAT ARE PAYING YOU!! If you are "working a program" yeah, getting paid!! Get out there and do something for it. Post in the forums. Why you ask? Real people see real people posting payments and experiences, certainly holds more weight on the program than 50 monitors stating they were paid.

Ok I am off the soapbox now. So many tools to use and most people aren't using them. Want to make the best of what's out there, well it is a two way street, the admins can only do so much, the members have to pull their weight as well.

Currently I am enjoying a couple of great sites, but they all take member participation to succeed.

10/08/2010 Instant Surf site just powering on - 3 months now

2010-10-10T07:08:00.002-05:00

Every so so a surf site comes along and it is a success. StarWarsSurf Ingredients = great admin, constant upgrading membership and of course the main attraction - instant payments. Yep, 10% for 13 days. Getting to really like where this program is going and confidence is growing throughout the membership base. Outside income? Admin runs an online store accepting credit card payments, plus he sells no surf plans there.

To date I have enjoyed instant payments daily, sorta puts the excitement back into the realm. Latest stats?

28/08/2010 RIP Micronuts aka JS

2010-09-28T13:55:00.002-05:00

I have just read of the passing of John Stankiewicz, aka JS or Micronuts. We shared quite a few emails over the time and he had a way with words. I enjoyed reading his blog from time for many years but lately I could sense the frustration behind the words. Now he has joined his Divine maker.

June 4, 1959 - September 27, 2010

You will be missed by many, and I will miss our email bantering sessions. Rest In Peace now John.

28/09/2010 The power of an instant paying site

2010-09-28T02:28:00.001-05:00

An energetic Admin, pushing the limits and players responding is the key to any site really. Today it is hard to find a site like this one. Yep StarWarsSurf. Okay at first the name was off putting, but the proof is in the pudding. I posted about this site a few weeks back, you can read what I said here. To date it has been powering on. Instant payments everyday and growing. The key is repeat spending and promoting growth. For me the site still has some legs and due to timing could be a nice little moneyearner for awhile to come yet. In the meantime members including myself are enjoying daily instant payments and member emails from admin are entertaining. There is also a plan that you can purchase through the store that is run through the site which pays on expiration, so even if your not into surfing each day, which takes only a few minutes anyway, well you can elect to purchase in the non surf.

Currently I am enjoying StarWarsSurf and of course the payments. Till next time, live life to the fullest.

23/09/2010 Solar Investments - Great shorter term plans

2010-09-23T06:26:00.000-05:00

I joined SolarInvest the other day, had a poke around and liked the site. Okay you can't judge a book by it's cover, but looking closely it does tell a story. The site has not been slapped up and opening was no big fanfare. Payment posts are starting to appear. Interesting plans available the climate seems just about right for a HYIP of this caliber. As is always the case, with support this could go a long way to fulfilling a niche which has been lacking lately.

Okay, I'm lazy, not going to put the plans here, but all is available for you on the site. Daily payments and principle returned gives you a reason to check it out for yourself.

If venturing, gamble responsibly. I am not sure exactly if I would call this short or longterm HYIP, depends how you want to play it really. Remember daily payments also reduce risk.

10/09/2010 Paid every week since 25 June. Love it!!

2010-09-10T16:42:00.003-05:00

Been awhile since I posted about Funds-O-Matic, but receiving my earnings each week since inception (25 June) Absolutely Awesome site. Randy the admin is running a great ship, and it is a no stress earner. I took the weekly option and get paid weekly which is just fine by me. Many happy customers, but kinda quite in the forums. Support by all reports is second to none. Just cruising along as the site was built for longevity and Randy proclaims to have outside funding. Remember his last site Surf-O-Matic? Well we all ended in profit as he respectfully wound the site down. The reason for that was "surfs" as you know lost their flavor. Dunno why as I find it is more of a commitment to participate, which is a good thing. To wrap up, I am extremely happy being a member of Funds-O-Matic To date it has been a no drama site, and admin is always in the background if needed.
Till next time "Live Life, Love Life"

03/09/2010 Instant surf site ~ 10% for 13 days

2010-09-03T18:04:00.008-05:00

You either love them or loathe them. I decided to spice up time with StarWarsSurf We have all seen this script before, and I believe it is from the same admin. The plan is simple, deposit, surf and paying instantly to your LR account. He does offer Alert Pay, however one needs to add up the costs involved and also I am thinking that for small amounts it would not be worth it. Read in a member email that he is increasing the amount of min upgrade in AlertPay to cover the costs incurred.
If you venture, remember participation is the key. With the changing of the seasons lets hope that we can move on and make some bucks.

As always, gamble responsibly. In StarWarsSurfthe stats are there, so keep watching and play accordingly.

P.S.
I'm building my integrity as your TRUSTED source.
You can always expect that I only offer the one
that will deliver good results to you.

Yeah right!! You probably get them all day everyday. But to newbies out there, this is a trap. I do try and check some of them out as they could be something. To date none have responded to my inquiry, and not surprising. For many years I have thought that all these opt-in mail services are a bit of a con.
To get things in perspective from my side of things as I see it. For 10 years or so now I have been involved in one way or another making money online. Okay I don't have what people call a downline or an email list, I have always just poked around and made and of course lost money in various opportunities, but overtime I am still ahead with earnings. Not everyone can refer people. I am of the belief that if I join a program, which of course I only join if I see potential of earning there, from my own money, never relying on referrals, then I will add the link here and keep the site updated with how I am doing.
Of course I am always on the lookout of something that will work for me, and there must be plenty of others that are in the same boat as me. Hence looking at a few of the not-so-spammy emails. My beef is that their are so many what could be good opportunities that if driven by the right people, not just email spamming, (yes I consider the no-reply emails as spam) well to me this is doing more harm to the industry than many seem to think.
Ok, lol I admit I am a hard sell. Been round the block too many times to think that everything is a worthwhile venture. However, if these anonymous emailers were in a position to spell out clearly and be contactable, would there not be some better decision making? So if you find yourself presented with the best of the best claim, look closer at the fine print. Note: down the bottom of most of these splash pages is an earnings disclaimer!! yep, check it out (oh, not in this one, ha ha the link doesn't even work!) but saying it is guarenteed you will earn x amount then the disclaimer usually says something like >>> this is based on the highest possibility, and depends on members marketing ability >>> talk about cover their butt lol.
This was just something I wanted to share with whoever stumbles across this post. The moral of the story? If you have what you believe to be a great opp. don't SPAM it, only deters as many have wised up to the systems used.
Take care and live life. I hope I may have saved someone losing hard earned money.

19/07/2010 Eigeline Network's Strictpay News

2010-07-19T15:28:00.003-05:00

I had a pending SP payment and have been waiting to hear what stance Eigeline Network would take. Checking the news today they have addressed the system.

News
19 July 2010
StrictPay withdrawals.
Dear customers.

Because of some banking problems the StrictPay has turned off its accounts financial activity, which use the API merchant. In this connection we can't process your orders for withdrawal through this payment system. We ask you to place a request through our support service, so our team of technical specialists could transfer your deposits to LibertyReserve payment system. In any case charging of interests, as well as their payment remain the same. We apologize for this inconvenience.

To date I have found Eigeline Network quietly going about their business, no big hyip attitude, just a steady mover. Payments have also been timely and paid within 24 hours of request. Customer support is great.

19/07/2010 - Obituary of the late Mr. Common Sense

2010-07-19T01:50:00.000-05:00

I stumbled across this and thought I would share. It is oh so true.

'Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend morethan you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are incharge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an Elastoplast to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.'

I think many of us DO remember Mr. Common Sense, but in today's society it is so easy to blame others for our own inaccountability. Some comments here would be good :) hint hint

18/07/2010 Funds-O-Matic is rocking!!

2010-07-18T23:18:00.042-05:00

Not much to get excited about these days, but with Randy from Funds-O-Matic is certainly the place to be. I read an interview done via email with Paul with MNO. Actually he answers and demeanor reflect a good thinking person with a sound knowledge of this arena. Gives some great thoughts on the industry as well. You can read it here. I was a member of his program Surf-O-Matic and I can confirm that he did send out bonuses for Christmas presents and ran and closed his program honorably. First time as a late starter that I actually didn't leave money in a program, all was paid with full ROI.
Currently we are looking for that "something" out there to make a buck on, and Funds-O-Matic is performing well and growing. The weekly plan is the best, both for admin and for earning, but he gives the option to suit members. Of all the tripe on offer, Randy's offer is by far a great opportunity.

Randy also issued this update today regarding StrictPay.

Just a quick update to say that StrictPay payments have been made and had no adverse effects form testing.
Deposits have been re-enabled via StrictPay, to do so you will simply need to send payment to us directly, our account # is 56089-1. In the memo put your member # and plan daily or weekly. then use the contact form subject SP deposit.
Contact form should be simple.
Subject: SP Deposit
Body: Your sp #
Batch#
plan daily or weekly

Thank you all for understanding and continuing to use SP.

Just for the record, I have been paid every week for three weeks now, heading for week four :) I am a happy camper there.

As always, gamble responsibly.

14/07/2010 StrictPay Update - accounts frozen? options?

2010-07-14T07:23:00.000-05:00

Update was posted. After reading three times, slowly, I still can't see what all the hype was about. No hurry, as there is nothing anyone can do at this stage. Anyway if you haven't seen it yet, here it is.

StrictPay Customers

We have spent numerous months trying to battle this situation with the banks and authorities that are holding the majority of our funds, as well as trying to keep StrictPay in business by making the changes outlined in the email update sent on 5-29-10. The problem now is that we are not making any progress on the situation with those two entities, and we have received more news from our legal team. They feel that with the latest developments with the frozen funds, that we are very likely looking at this issue not being resolved for at least 12 months as a best case scenario, and possibly up to 24 months as a worst case scenario. We still cannot speak of any specifics, other than to say (as we stated earlier) that two of the major merchants that accepted StrictPay as a payment option were being heavily investigated by the authorities, and we were pulled into that investigation as well due to them accepting us as a payment option, and even more so because all three of us had accounts with the same bank. Due to the frequency and volume of their requests, one of them found out which bank we were using and specifically got an account at that same bank in order to get funds transfers more quickly, as well as to save them some bank fees. Only a select few customers knew the location of our main bank containing the majority of our funds, and
that will never happen again. This is also why we have always sent and received funds from banks other than the ones that hold the majority of our funds. We know it is frustrating for everyone, but we need to do what is right for our company, and that means that we cannot give any other detail on this legal matter. We want to stress again that there is not an issue with StrictPay being involved with these two merchants, but it is almost as simple as us having the majority of our funds in the wrong bank at the wrong time. It is important to note that we had a similar situation happen to us quite some time ago with Stanford Bank, and we recovered from that without any issues that involved our customers or the time we took to process transactions for you all. As a matter of fact, we still have not had a single penny returned to us from that situation, but we kept being able to serve our customers none the less. It is also important to note that our owners have recently added just over $100,000 of their own funds to help us try to continue to process as many of the withdraw requests as we could these last few weeks. They did this even though we have not had much support since the original update was sent on 5-29-10, and the situation looked like it was going to get
worse. We understand that we are very behind on many withdraw requests, but we have used this entire 100k with virtually nobody reporting to the various outlets that we have indeed paid them. 70k of this money was used for processing bank wire withdraw requests,including some to exchanger services in hopes that they would continue to work with us, 20k was used to process debit card withdraw requests, and 10k was used to process check by mail withdraw requests. We have not gotten very many deposits, and we have even held off on processing ACH deposit requests until now when we received a better update concerning the situation. We would hope this shows that we are not just trying to get new funds so we can run, as seems to be one of the widely reported rumors circulating. That being said, we will need new funds to support us in the future, as we will outline below, but this is not in order to accumulate funds for ourselves, but rather to help all of our customers recover their own funds more quickly.With this latest news of the possible best and worst case time frames it is likely to take to resolve this issue, we are only left with two choices to keep StrictPay in business.

Those two choices are:

1. We put StrictPay on hold until this issue with the frozen funds gets resolved. This is going to take somewhere between 12 and 24 months to resolve, and during that time our customers would not be able to get any of their funds out of their accounts. This would mean that there is essentially no more StrictPay activity until this situation is resolved, and we feel that this option does not help
anyone in the short term.
2. We keep StrictPay in business and activity continues, including the customer support, transaction processing times, etc. that you all have commended us on in the past before this current situation caused us to fall behind. We do this by creating one sub account for every current StrictPay account, and start each sub account with a zero balance. We allow all current accounts to work as they are now, and all people that make deposits, or receive funds transfers, from this new sub account to another new sub account, will have their funds go only into their new sub account. Each customer’s older accounts with their current balances can still be used to send and receive funds if they wish, but the balances on those old accounts cannot be used to withdraw funds. We think this is very important as it allows customers and merchants to use these accounts freely again, and you will eventually get these funds moved to the sub account that can be withdrawn out as we will explain below. We have been told that many merchants are not taking StrictPay because they feel they are stuck with “dead funds”, but with the system we will explain below this will not be the case. The new system is a great way to build and work with your current account, and over time those funds will get moved to your new sub account that can have funds withdrawn from it. To continue with number two above, here is how the new system will be implemented. Any withdraw request from a current account will be refunded back into that account. New customer sub accounts will be the same StrictPay account number but with a “-1″ after them, so customers and merchants alike will know exactly what customer account sent the funds (either a sub account which can have withdraws, or the older StrictPay accounts that cannot have withdraws). Sub accounts with the “-1″ will only be able to send and receive funds to/from other sub accounts, and older accounts will only be able to send and receive funds to/from other older accounts without the “-1″. With this new system in place, if customers begin to use our services again as they have done for well over 2 years, we will then start to take no less than 0.75% of the 2% Send Funds fee every few weeks and credit that amount to the sub accounts of every customer. This same credited amount will also be taken out of the older account, and thus customers will be able to again begin to gradually see their funds move from the older accounts that do not allow withdraws, to the newer sub accounts that will allow withdraw requests.
We obviously feel that number two is the better of the two choices. Now it is very important to realize that this will only work if people use our services like they did before. We would hope that will be an easy choice for people to do, as this will help everyone eventually receive all their funds, as well as the fact that our superior customer service was what made us as big as we are now. StrictPay in fact started many of the trends you see in the payment processor industry today, such as the live chat support option, and shorter stated customer service reply time frames that were actually met. We have always been proud of the fact that we were heralded as having the best customer service in the industry, and this will continue after these new changes are implemented. We are sure that some will say they would not use us again, even with the implementation of these new changes, and to those people we would ask “Why?” Before this happened, StrictPay was a top option for many customers and merchants, and if we truly wanted to just fold up shop and disappear without trying to help our customers, we would have done so before dumping over 100k of our own money into trying to keep this afloat. We also will continue to use what is universally considered the best DDOS protection company, one that is not even connected to this industry,
and we would not continue to pay for this service if we wanted to just close up shop. Implementing these changes also allows us to offer better withdraw limits for our customers. We will still leave the “real time” withdraw request time frames in place so you can see how long requests are currently taking to process, but keep in mind that it will take the first few days of withdraw requests being entered into the system to really become accurate.
Here are the new withdraw request maximum limits:
Wire withdraws: $100 minimum and $7,500 maximum
Debit card withdraws: $10 minimum and $1,000 maximum
Check by mail withdraws (available to U.S. customers only): $10 minimum and $2,000 maximum
Please keep in mind that we still have the following options available for depositing funds, and all options will be “no fee” options until further notice: ACH (for U.S. customers only), bank wire, and personal check, money order, or cashier check by mail.
StrictPay continuing to do business should also be welcome news to one of the bigger merchants (and their customers) that were using our services until they had to put things on hold for sometime. There is word that they are about to begin processing refunds to their customers, and once they make a deposit into their new sub account,they will then be able to start refunding StrictPay customers as well.
This in turn will provide us with fees from the transfers that we will use to help to move funds from the old StrictPay accounts to the newer sub accounts that you can withdraw from.
The bottom line is this: If people use our services by depositing funds into their new sub accounts (which can also be withdrawn from at any time), and use us as one of their main payment processor options again as they always have, then we will recover from this. Eventually then ALL customers will get their full balances moved to their new sub account over time, and things will be back to normal more quickly than if everyone had to wait up to 24 months in hopes that we recover all of our funds. Lawyer fees will not allow us to get the entire amount back, but we do not foresee anything else cutting into that recovery amount. We all have a lot to lose if people choose not to continue to use StrictPay as a payment option, but we can all only gain if everyone uses StrictPay as they always have in the past. We would like to leave you with this one last question: What do you have to lose by using StrictPay again, knowing that we have always been there in the past for our customers without issue? If you stillhave a need for an online payment processor, then why not choose to use StrictPay as you always have.
As always, we appreciate you choosing StrictPay as a payment option, and we shall see over the next few months if everyone will actually help us get back to a sense of normalcy using this new system.
Thank you

This is what I found interesting.

We still cannot speak of any specifics, other than to say (as we stated earlier) that two of the major merchants that accepted StrictPay as a payment option were being heavily investigated by the authorities, and we were pulled into that investigation as well due to them accepting us as a payment option, and even more so because all three of us had accounts with the same bank. Due to the frequency and volume of their requests, one of them found out which bank we were using and specifically got an account at that same bank in order to get funds transfers more quickly, as well as to save them some bank fees. Only a select few customers knew the location of our main bank containing the majority of our funds, and
that will never happen again.

The question is in fact, why just StrictPay and not the other payment processors, unless SP was the only PP they accepted. Major Merchants? Merely an observation as I don't recall seeing anything big that only accepted SP. The bank tie up? Unless they have some common connection and clean funds couldn't be confirmed, well that could be a problem.

What do we do now? Well technically SP is asking us what we want to do. If my bank wouldn't let me withdraw unless I made additional deposits or the person who deposits into my account does not make fresh deposits of cash, well I would be skeptical and would err on the side of safety. Each customer of SP has to make their own decision. Comes down to personal choice, and whether being between a rock and a hard place is acceptable. Or whether a rock and a harder place is the go. It's a gamble really. I know back to the same conclusion, but really what are the options when you weed out the facts as stated in the update.

As usual, this is food for thought, just another unbiased opinion on the situation as presented.

13/07/2010 Another teaser from StrictPay

2010-07-13T19:12:00.003-05:00

Okay I might be a bit negative regarding StrictPay's approach to whatever they are going to tell us. Why the build up to some big announcement? Firstly this is the latest email I received just awhile ago.

StrictPay Customers
We will be taking the StrictPay website offline all day on Wednesday to complete some site maintenance, and to implement some updates. Shortly after we come back online late Wednesday, or early Thursday, we will be sending out an update concerning our banking situation. Any updates will be posted at http://extremesurfs.com/blog and http://www.yourplatinumfunds dot com.

We suggest you bookmark these two websites, and check them daily, as the update will be sent soon. We will be releasing updates to these two websites to insure that every customer has the chance to see the news at the same time. With the sheer number of customers we have, an email to all customers can take most of the day to get to everyone, and we want to make sure the new customer gets the important information at the same time as an older customer.

Thank you
Team StrictPay

www.strictpay.com

Just a few things that jump to mind. Okay, so emails can take most of the day to get out, does that really make that much difference? StrictPay customers live all over the globe. Do they really think all their customers wait 24/7 for their email? I'm sure we sleep sometimes and do other things with our lives rather than waiting for "news" about our funds stuck in a payment processor. (as I said, this is my personal take on what I am reading. Yes R E A D I N G. Like everyone else, we are feed information electronically and it is at our discretion how we interpretate it.) I am erring on the side of it isn't good news, as it seems like stalling for time. But as we should all know and understand, this business is a law unto themselves. Many differing opinions, also many languages also have to come into play here. So translation plays a major part here with fed information.
All we can do is wait. Just don't know why all the concern about getting the "news" out. News of this nature will spread like wildfire regardless.

11/07/2010 StrictPay?

2010-07-11T02:07:00.006-05:00

In relation to the StrictPay news, well as expected really there is still no news. Austin from extremesurf has noted also no news, and also acknowledged that posting of such news for a payment processor through two bloggers is a bit strange. I also note an update today on Yourplatinumfunds blog (the other site mentioned in the StrictPay update as an outlet for their news)

We have contacted StrictPay asking when everyone can expect the newest email update concerning their situation, and this was the reply:

There will be a new email sent to all customers concerning this situation within the next few days, and it will also be posted at the News link on our main page. We are trying to resolve this issue, but we can only do so when the bank and authorities release our funds.

Thank you
StrictPay Support

So if that is the response to the admin of their "chosen" media outlets, hmmm
As I said earlier, stay tuned as this could drag on for awhile yet, and StrictPay aren't doing themselves any favors by their totally unprofessional behaviour.

07/07/2010 StrictPay Update? What a load of croc!!

2010-07-07T06:19:00.020-05:00

I just received an email supposedly from Strict Pay.

StrictPay Customer
In the next few days we will be releasing our much anticipated news update that everyone is waiting for. Our mass emails can take many hours to reach everyone, and therefore we felt it necessary to let everyone know that our news will be given to the two sites below as soon as it is available. You will still receive your copy of the email, but if you would like your news faster we recommend going to the sites below. We are not affiliated with either of these sites, and in return for them helping us get this news out quick we are giving them some free advertising on our login page to StrictPay for a few weeks.
Please bookmark these pages, and check them daily for the news that we will be releasing soon. Your Platinum Funds said they will send an email as soon as they post the news so you might want to get added to their subscribers list. Extreme Surfs said they will also post this information on their blog as soon as the news is made available to them.
http://www.yourplatinumfunds.com/
http://extremesurfs.com/blog/
We thank you for your continued support and as always we thank you for choosing StrictPay.
StrictPay Administration

What a load of croc!! First thoughts what type of payment processor does media releases through bloggers. I already have preconceived ideas regarding SP, but are like everyone else and just waiting to see how things pan out.
I then thought, why release "a teaser". Plus the no name on the email?? "StrictPay Customer" good grief it is obvious it is either a spam email or a totally amateurish was to conduct business. Never heard of your platinum funds site. Had a look, forum new and plenty of empty advertising, hmmm. Yeah, guess many will peek and some will venture. Will get site hits for sure.

So to me this is just a SPAM type mailout. Just a ploy for the unsuspecting to sign up to a new site to "get the news first" lol more like collect more email addys :) I am sure throwing extremesurfs name in there is to just give it some credibility. Free advertising?? yeah>>> right!!!

As always, don't believe everything you read. Player beware, as it is always best to err on the side of safety. Let's wait and see how this pans out, no giving any details to anyone now ya hear.

Update - few hours after posting >> Austin has confirmed that he got an email from Mike at Strictpay. Check his extremesurf blog post here. Hang onto your hats, this could at least be entertaining. Let's see if 1 + 1 = 2 in SP land.

30/06/2010 My my, how the time flies

2010-06-30T08:50:00.058-05:00

Half of the year has flown by already! No news on the blog is good news. Okay, nothing out of the ordinary happening, smooth sailing with both program I am currently in.

Eigeline Network is just purring along. Note the Alexa rating as of today. Slow steady, no big start up rush. This is a good sign of getting over the "low summer" times. Currently having 2 running upgrades on the weekly plan and to date have been paid each week on request when due. Looking good.

Funds-O-Matic seems to have caused a buzz around the place. Every man and his dog is publishing reviews on the program. I joined day 1, (25 June) so 2 July should show my first batch of weekly earnings. I will be sure to post payment here when I receive them. Looking at Alexra rating for the site (remembering it opened on 25 June) well took a few days for it to kick off, but moving up.

To post these graphs here will leave a historical guideline for future reference. Just another tool available to us to use. How we read the information can vary, but we need to play smarter these days.

As always, gamble responsibly. I am currently looking at a couple of opps, but to date, not being too well has hampered my research, but hopefully on the mend now. Cheers till next time :)

26/06/2010 Catch up news

2010-06-25T15:40:00.001-05:00

I have had an interesting day/night. I think I forgot to have some sleep somewhere in between there I just wanted to do a quick update as someone might notice there have been some sites removed from the "Current Sites and Status" list.
I had two on-hold. One being MyMarketShares, well been dead in the water for ages. No response from admin Margaret and the site was left on autopilot. The revenue-share program we thought would work. lol Well not many would have got into profit there, but no earnings posted for a long long time. I gave up surfing due to infectious website were placed in the surf rotator and no one was checking them. I only noticed a few days back that the site was finally unplugged.
The other was Surf-O-Matic. On hold simply because the Admin Randy decided to wind it down and come back with a totally no surf site and worked more options in the range of plans. The new site opened yesterday Funds-O-Matic Note: Surf-O-Matic closed honorably with Randy the admin disabling deposits a couple of months back and we all continued to earn on our upgrades and were duly paid our earnings along with profits.

With the quick HYIPs, I will add an edit to the last post with my last comment as to why it isn't in my side list.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

25/06/2010 Finally arrived >> Funds-O-Matic

2010-06-25T07:14:00.002-05:00

As a very satisfied member of Randy's previous program, Surf-O-Matic which ran for from approx 29th June last year till a week of so ago when the last active member was paid. He disabled upgrades a few months back and we all earned and received our payments with profit and were duly paid. It was a pleasurable program to be in. We have been waiting for quite some time for the new program to arrive and today it did. Just a bit of background, Randy says he trades and going by his last program which we all left with our profits, well it's something to consider.

He has plenty of Plans on offer:
Daily Plans:
Plan 1 $5 - $150 0.80% Plan 2 $151 - $500 1.00%
Plan 3 $501 - $1,000 1.50% Plan 4 $1,001 - $5,000 1.70%
Plan 5 $5,001 - $15,000 1.80%

Weekly Plans:
Plan 6 $5 - $150 7.00% Plan 7 $151 - $500 8.40%
Plan 8 $501 - $1,000 11.20% Plan 9 $1,001 - $5,000 12.60%
Plan 10 $5,001 - $15,000 14.00%

I chose a weekly plan, but I may just add a daily one as well.

To the future with FOM

As always, gamble responsibly. Don't forget to have some fun!!

24/06/2010 Crisis? What Crisis?

2010-06-23T17:07:00.005-05:00

Like in any business there a highs and lows. Saying we are in a crisis is a bit of an over-statement as I see it, as there is always an up-side from a down. Look at the Stockmarket, house prices. All have slumps, but those who play their cards right and hang on are the ones who usually end up in the right position when the market regains. Which inevitably they do.
Now is a very interesting market time and how should we be setting ourselves to move into the future with moneymaking?

You could just walk away. But what's the point of that? Nothing ventured nothing gained.
You could change with the way you do things. Try something new, a different approach.

With that said I certainly don't feel that we are at crises point as portrayed. Agreed, things aren't how they used to be, but over the years it has changed and of late we have had a downturn of viable longerterm sites. Attributing to this is those who play too seriously, or get too greedy. Nothing lasts forever online. Once you understand the "world" rules, it will become clearer. We are collectively from all corners of the globe and each country has it's own interpretation of the rules. Online betting is a huge industry, and it's done for recreation and or income supplement. I consider this biz the same but with a few more ingredients. Enjoy the fruits and have some fun, that's what it's all about.

So what do we have to do to get through these lean times :) Well actually NOW is the time to lay some building blocks in the next era. Change how we used to do things and go with the flow. That's why I am playing some quick short term high ROI HYIPs. They will come and go fast, but timing is crucial. Get into profit and play with proceeds. This way I am building up my reserves to fund longer term HYIPs.

Whilst others are moaning and groaning about low times :cry: :cry: I am diligently working on some longer term ops which are just starting out. Eigeline Network is one of those and now is the time to get settled in there. Of course no guarantees, as there are none in this biz, but I like this program as I think it does have huge potential and over the next few months it's will start getting more exposure. The early bird catches the worm. Of course time will tell. Previous mentions of Eigeline Network can be found here

If you are reading here, you should know by now I am straight upfront and tell it like it is for me. The whole idea is to give a workman's (or ladies in my case) view of how things work and actual, factual experiences. No hidden agenda, unlike commercial bloggers who offer their expertise for free and with the other hand sell banner space, reviews and interviews. How can they be truly open minded? Everyone has their niche in this industry, and mine is technically at Ground Zero. I'm there as a participating member using my own funds and like many others I do take longer to get into profit than those who have referrals. So it does make me more cautious, other than jumping into something. Sorta weighing up the odds. I know there are many out there in cyberland in the same boat as me but only get access to readily available forums, monitors/blogger sites and of course those teamleaders lol (You know the ones, with the big lists) By dropping by The Shed you can get another take on the situation, if I am playing or general info, as I don't just join anything or everything as my sole purpose is to make money. I seek out, what I consider, better opportunities. Safer bets I call them.

Believe it or not, moneymaking online can be relatively stress-free if you play within your means. I win some and I lose some. lol Nobody is perfect!!

Thanks for reading. I thought I would lay my cards on the table as I always have and let's look forward to some good times ahead. They will happen.

23/06/2010 GreenMoneyFund - Snap plans - Instant payments

2010-06-22T18:41:00.005-05:00

Okies, I am up for the challenge. Seems not too much happening these days, so I am trying my hand at some short term hyip games. GreenMoneyFund Played responsibly, we can be winners. So looking to turn a few bucks here.
A few plans to choose from:- 5 plans in all. But don't get too carried away. Worth a look as only two days old and shows an experienced admin. Will keep ya posted in the payments list as how I'm travelin.

Reminder: this IS a short straight up game to be played accordingly.

Edit: 26/06/2010 No longer playing here, due to simply, for me it's time.

22/06/2010 XodusGroup has a change of plans?

2010-06-21T19:48:00.003-05:00

Surprised to get this email XodusGroup. Out of the blue, sorta caught me by surprise. I wrote this about them back on 9th June.. This seems way out of whack. Already running low on funds? yet says been around since 2001? Hmm. Do you read the hidden message in this?

"Hi Dear Member,
We add new plan,
108% after 1 days
130% after 3 days
160% after 5 days
65% daily for 2 days.

You get ago profit from old plan if you want get new plan you must do deposit in new plan.
King Regards,
Paul Purcell"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This message inside under "Investment" tab.

"Now, for the sake of more improvement and stronger attendance throughout the world and because of being able to complete with our peer competitors, it is time to begin our new plan for investment so that we may achieve our long-term goals."

----------------------------------------------------------------------
My verdict? I would be extremely careful here now. I have also been advised that withdrawals are not instant as they were before. Just a wait and see. But caution prevailing, moving to "on hold" just to play it safe. I can always move it back if things improve. But initial indications are that this is not a good sign.

Edit: 26/06/2010 No longer playing and they are no longer paying

21/06/2010 Got me thinkin' - need some stability

2010-06-20T20:30:00.065-05:00

Reading here, there and all over the shop. You know I cannot remember a year that has had so many of the bigger programs go down like a pack of cards. I wasn't a member of some of them, but I watched them. Unique times. So where does that put me? Hmm well I have opted for what I am hopeful, the next longer term hyip. I don't have a crystal ball and I'm not a physic, so I make a move on how I translate information from here and there, hopefully giving me a safer bet. One of those safer bets comes in the form of Eigeline Network Okies, no big fanfare opening, which can be a good thing. Been running since about 3rd June. The plans are reasonable, and IF they are doing what they say they are, advertising by way of owned sites, well who knows!! I can't be anymore upfront here. The money, time and effort put into this site certainly gives it some creditability.
Back to the plans, yes you can cash-out your principle after the specified time - depending on the plan you choose:- But, remember when you do, you stop earning. So what I have done is split plans. I have two running and depending how things are going, well I will probably take one back, but on the other hand I will be in profit by then. So it is a wait and see type plan. (lol aren't they all?)
Site growth is nice and steady. The admin has advised that they have a big adverting campaign to roll out in July. I read this as a positive. Now is the time to join and gets those weekly payments cranking. As always, there are no watertight guarantees, gamble responsibly. Eigeline Network Remember the name
Earlier I received my weekly cash-out request. That's no 2 on second upgrade :)

20/06/2010 - A Life's Lesson

2010-06-20T04:54:00.004-05:00

I know we always say yeah yeah. But seriously take a look at your life. I just did and found that I had been consumed by the day to day dramas and didn't take time for me.

I am a people watcher. Sounds bad, but I observe body language in public places. Having not had the time to venture into these places for a long time whilst on holidays in a city where I knew nobody I found old habits creeping in. I walked down the street and everyone was focused on something with no facial expression except the odd frown, and no one said hello. So me being me, I decided to see how I could infect a few people. I put on a big smile and said hello to everyone I came into eye contact with. No surprises on my end, as people respond and reply and actually smile. The process actually sparked an odd conversation, all-be-it maybe two sentences, but some more. Later sitting back watching the ocean from a coffee shop, I felt a sense of achievement for the day. I walked home with the biggest smile and skip in my step.

19/06/2010 - Reconstruction? Betcha!!

2010-06-19T07:43:00.003-05:00

Okay as you can see I have been doing some work around here :) I had a week off work (mandatory, yet they called it "forced leave" lol) I ventured up north for a few days and enjoyed the warmer weather in the tropics. Nothing flash, but it was a break. I actually started then and with doing my usual reading and catching up on sleep, well time got away with me. As it always does. Maybe I need to concentrate on one thing at a time. Hmm, now that's food for thought :) So holiday over, back to work for me and have some interesting stuff to share over the next few days.

Hope to have some readers call bye and say hi. Enjoy your day/night>>> whatever

09/06/2010 - XodusGroupLTD

2010-06-09T02:00:00.032-05:00

As you are aware it is "silly summer season" and not a great time of year to be jumping into HYIPs or surfs, but it is a time for some consolidation. Last week I joined XodusGroup, and tomorrow I am due for my first weekly earnings to be posted so I can withdraw. For all intents and purposes XodusGroup say they have been around since 2001. I can't find any information confirming or denying that, so we have to work with the info at hand. There spiel??

Looking for safe investment opportunity?
XodusGroup LTD, financial experts are ready to assist
XodusGroup LTD, is the online unit of Hessel Trading, an investment company that has been providing quality finance-related services to legal entities and individuals since 2001.

XodusGroup LTD, is financial engineering laboratory and alternative investments management company.The goal of XodusGroup LTD,is organization is to provide high yield returns, which are uncorrelated to the typical stock portfolio, also are independent of the directions of the markets. The trading philosophy of the company is almost equal to trading philosophy of any other typical hedge fund as we seek returns in all market conditions but usually with the biggest expectation possible.

In a nutshell, they trade Forex apparently and have a company registered. Address for for contact US is: address: 1248 Wavelength, Lerocher, Victoria, Mahe, 0075, Seychelles
Phone: 248-345041
Plans: There are daily and weekly plans. Of course the weekly plans will yield the bigger profit. I chose weekly and of course I will post the latest date for payment in the Shed.

The question is whether it is real or not, as who really knows, anyone can have all the ducks in a row but still end up in the same place as those that don't, sooner or later. Early days here and has an internal exchanger as a bonus. So I opted to try my hand here. Slow kickoff which is good. Probably will get some limelight when weekly payments start happening.

As usual, gamble responsibily. Remember nothing lasts forever. Just trying to find that more secure gamble than most.

09/06/2010 StaunchFinances officially closed

2010-06-08T15:24:00.022-05:00

I just received this email ):
Dear members,
I would just like to announce that Staunch Finances is OFFICIALLY CLOSED. I did all I can to make this program alive but in the end, it wasn't meant to be. There are a few reasons why this happened but I will not divulge much into it because ultimately, it is I who failed to generate enough income to keep the program going.
Deposits have been disabled since yesterday. I will continue paying whatever's left in our funds and refund those that deposited today. Please do not send anymore tickets as I will close all our email addresses. There's really no need to ask me what happened. Anyway, I wish you all luck in your future endeavors and again, I'm sorry.
Brent
Sorta to be a bit by surprise as not even the first cycle of part B, the longer term portion hasn't even completed. But none-the-less it has been a different experience to say the least!! However if you had played this like a HYIP you would have been nearly square of just a tad out of pocket. SF just wasn't meant to be it seems.

05/06/2010 - Real, Fake, Flake or FlakeEgo

2010-06-04T09:40:00.005-05:00

I wander around the internet on a daily basis, not only do I find it entertaining but also a great learning tool. I recently came across a forum from a few years back, seems to be floating dormant in cyberspace now, but made for some interesting reading. I now finally have some words defining some moneymaking levels of achievement.
In this industry there are moneymakers, ok we play to earn, otherwise why are we here. It's a simple basic concept, as explained before, one spends money into a program (one which would seem to have a good chance of redeeming funds plus a profit from personal spend) This throws a different light on the whole situation when comparing with what popular monitor sites do with just putting anything up and promoting, some even "review" (hilarious word)but they give it a dressing down and say well the admin thinks he can pull it off blah blah blah, but we know he can't, and then mockingly, still join and show link to join, so they will get paid the referral commission. They must do this knowing that some people just join anything they put up!! Do they have no scruples at all??

Ok, back to moneymakers. We have all won and lost in this industry. Experienced is another way of putting it. To really appreciate the value of a win is to have at least at one time or another had a loss. The plan is to win more often and to enhance the chance of winning is to pick better options. We know that there are real people who make money on the internet, however we need to also be aware of those that aren't real. Fakes. Yes read the websites around showing how they earned blah blah, and yet they are selling their tricks and deals in an ebook. Common, blind Freddy knows that the guy at the top is the only one who really makes any money. You have to purchase the right to resell, then you have to work your butt off to on-sell. They call this passive earning, wow nothing passive about that. But everyone has their niche. I cannot talk people into buying anything, as I myself are skeptical at purchasing something anyway. So I have never been tempted to go down that path. Then you have a Flake. This is the term given to a fake who makes money at the expense of others. hmm I have seen plenty of them over the years lol even blatantly rub it in your face. Big liners and teambuilders come to mind, but other forum hoppers fit the category. But as long as one is aware these people exist, the better decisions will be made. But worse still,there are some who are a combination of a Fake and a Flake, and they present with a rather inflated Ego. These guys are deadly, and easy to spot with their axe to grind and regardless of what is said by non-conforming members to their way is the right way and the rest is wrong. One that on a par with a Fake/FlakeEgo but probably the same thing is the wannabe who somehow manipulates themselves, probably by deceit, to a position of power over a group of people. However most people are pretty smart and see exactly what goes on, but of course no one except those involved have the real info of the wheelings and dealings.

I know most would know all this goes on in the industry, but it's good to refresh some memories occasionally. Then again there may be some newbie's who aren't aware how treacherous this world is. It's not as easy to take people at face value in this world, many have different faces depending where you go.

So just food for thought.

03/06/2010 Eigeline - strange name, but I have a feeling it could be around for awhile

2010-06-01T18:16:00.018-05:00

I came across this site a few days ago. For some reason really took my eye. A longer term opp. Now I am not saying it is or isn't the real thing. Who really knows. I decided to play to earn money, as I think it has potential. If played like a HYIP, who knows, this could turn some nice bucks over time. Remember nothing lasts forever, and it's always a risk. So I took the challenge. Yeah, strange name, but I am sure it will grow on me. lol It is a new site, so a great time to get in, nice'n early.

Their spiel:

30 May 2010
Welcome to Eigeline Network.
It’s an open secret that most profits for any media come from advertising and marketing. For the last decade internet has been the most fast growing media ever known to mankind. The amount of marketing possibilities that are available on the internet is to say the least remarkable if not astonishing. Yet to this day a lot of people, who are not involved in this business directly, have no possibility to use internet as a source of income or simply to turn extra profit. Today is the day things are going to change.
“Eigeline Network Corp.” is proud to announce another major project going online. Eigeline.com is a very convenient way for anyone to invest into modern internet marketing. You can find out more about ways we operate in on About Network page. Welcome again and enjoy tour stay.

Best regards,
President of the Eigeline Network Corp.

Now to the nitty-gritty. Unique script, with rather unusual routing, but gives great DDOS protection. Dragonara is in there, so thats good. SSL script in place, also a Panama business setup, Panama virtual office and live support. So all in all been setup pretty serious. Ok, in other words, quite an elaborate expensive exercise.
Plans:
Test plan 0.6% daily $15 $49 Never return
Standard 6% weekly $50 $1499 After 18 weeks
Classic 7% weekly $1500 $4999 After 16 weeks
Premium 8% weekly $5000 $19999 After 14 weeks
VIP 10% weekly $20000 $499999 After 12 weeks

The big question. Is will it last? Is it for real? Honestly who really knows. I just go on what information is available and work with that. But sure as heck looks like a better long term option than anything I see out there currently.

If you do decide to venture, remember to gamble responsibly.

29/05/2010 - RogerVille has now ended

2010-05-29T07:13:00.002-05:00

Just received this email in the inbox. Well Roger gave it his best shot. I was into my third cycle, but not to be.
Hello AussieLady

It is with mixed emotions that I inform everyone today that RogerVille has to close today. I watched as the deposits declined the past week. Now it has reached its last day online, with only less than $100 deposited today and about the same yesterday and some hundreds the past weeks. The support that RogerVille has received has declined by a huge margin. This is because of the thinking of many that at this stage a program is not worth depositing more into anymore because it has reached 30 days? Well I hope this attitude of depositors stop soon because this is what killed RogerVille. It may be applicable to some sites but supposed to not be on RogerVille.com.

Please be advised that the deposits today are to be refunded fully. And that is all that we can do as you know this is how I handle sites I have when I close them. No refunds are issued because everyone knows what they are getting into and not an investment site. Everything up front and all cards laid in front of you.

You know how serious I am when I manage my sites and yet some still do not play it with me. We had a good site going but the terrible attitude of too old, too late thing killed it. Next time please, when I am the admin, be assured that I will only manage the program properly and so you can continuously support it so we can make a long lasting program.

We just need to eliminate that attitude that kills programs.

I will be online in 8 hours. Depositing has been disabled already. Please spread the news.

Regards,
Roger

29/05/2010 - InvestiHeaven - 2 plans - straight out HYIP game

2010-05-28T14:15:00.009-05:00

Straight out of HYIP game world. Decided to give it a shot. Seems a slight problem when I signed up, but on reading a forum thread others had the same problem. Says your username already exists in the database. But give it a minute and check your email you get one with some garbelled stuff and says your a member. Then from home page sign in using what you used as username and password and your in. Worked for me. Says is a licenced script Neversay new version. It is a bit different inside from what I am used to, but managed to find my way around and fund.

Ok, plans. Well 144% after 12 days (of course includes your deposit) or 10% daily for 12 days. (120% total so gives 20% profit but reduces risk by daily cashouts)
With this industry the way it is maybe 10% a day cashout would be the best option. Either way it's a gamble. Remember this is a straight up game. I will be posting payments daily as I chose the daily plan. Good luck :)

28/05/2010 - Nothing lasts forever

2010-05-28T07:03:00.027-05:00

To continue on from the other day, well if you have been around for awhile you would have come across nearly every excuse under the sun as why the programs close. Some are quite ingenious some don't even bother. Bam!! doors shut. This is the volatility of this game, but their are factors and speculations of when it might happen many times in the course of a programs lifetime. Some just never get off the ground, either bad management (initial intentions of admin, or inexperience and even script holes) Others simple just run their course. Either outgoing exceeds income or programs external income dries up, plenty of reasons, but factually we the ground member (meaning the average member who is not in the wheeling and dealing that goes on) will never know anything for actual fact. We are fed via cyberspace BS, never knowing whom we are dealing with anyway. Would that make a difference? Nope, same ending. If you were a participating member, it still comes down to you either win or you lose. SIMPLE

Why I consider these all as games? Because I would never expect to make a full time living from this. Certainly some extra dollars can and is made. But it is ridiculous for anyone to believe that financial independence can be achieved from one or even a small hand full of good programs. Notice I said good? I don't join too many programs as there aren't, what I consider too many good ones about. I was a member of some of those big programs that have recently either just disappeared or are putting on a facade that they are doing refunds. They did last long enough for a lone player to make some money, and my gamble in those paid off. Of course I left some dollars with them, but I was more than happy with the return I made. "Refunds" now that is a word that gripes me. Rarely it ever happens, and if it does it is only piecemeal as bait for something else. Of course this is just my opinion, but that's how I read from the outside and I do plenty of reading :)

There are plenty of program admins out there willing to take your money. OK? We've all been there. Here today, gone tomorrow. Picking a safer bet is what I try to do. No one is perfect, but I certainly don't scream the world is ending if I lose. From the moment I send my deposit/upgrade whatever phrase is used, well the money is gone. Given to a total stranger and then I play the game. Each time I get paid, of course I'm happy and why shouldn't I be. I am increasing my chances of having a win, or as some put it reducing my loss. Same as whether you say a cup if half full or half empty. lol

Okies I have given a broad spectrum of how it all works for me. Yes I take a huge risk, but I am accountable for my actions. I do take longer to realize a profit on my money than most others as I don't have a team or do I offer any services like monitors do. But a total freelancer can make some dollars in this industry, just playing smart with selective choices and going in with a plan. Sticking to it.

more to come > just have been feeling a bit off these last few days

26/05/2010 - MANORTRUST STATUS!! GONE, KAPUT, FINISHED, OVER

2010-05-26T07:50:00.012-05:00

Just received this member email:

I am sorry to announce we are unable to continue Manor Trust. Not too long ago, $9000 was stolen from our Liberty Reserve Account using a API hack. We were able to protect our account afterwards, but we were never able to catch up after $9000 just vanished from our accounts. Slowly but surely our ability to repay investors got worse. We tried our best to continue. In the end we were not able to.

Thank You,
Timothy Alexander

That is exactly how volitile this game is. No words, just there it is. Fact in cyberspace. Ah well. I am outa pocket on this one. Looked and felt like a good punt, great site but looked liked security wasn't the best. If you gambled responsibly it shouldn't have hurt too much. It's the risk we take.

26/05/2010 - HYIPs vs Surfs (either manual or auto)

2010-05-26T06:00:00.072-05:00

Interesting. Really I see no difference in actual money earning ability. Apparently the general move has gone away from "surfs" (surfs being where you had to view a required number of sites each day to earn your daily ROI) Now in the HYIP world (High Yield Investment Program) yeah!! "investment" - Note## never consider your deposit as an "investment". Because it is NOT. It is an out and out GAMBLE. [Just like placeing a bet on a horse in a horse race. You place your bet and get a ticket from the bookmaker/agent. If your horse wins, you take that ticket to collect your winnings. You say HYIPs are nothing like that? In fact the basics are the same. How the game is played is different. More on that later] Back to a HYIP well you don't have to do anything to gain a return on your gamble. Depending if it is a daily, weekly or end of term pay, all you have to do is request cashout and fingers, toes and whatever else crossed you get paid. Sounds pretty treacherous huh.

The purpose of today's post is to see what really is the difference between the two categories as I see it. HYIPs are probably less work for both Admins and players, and of course the less work on servers. These days, well since the higher ROI surf came in like 12DP and even probably back to 4Daily times, where the ROI (oh Rate Of Interest) in surfs increased, well I see very little difference as a player. Same odds, but it did show more commitment as having to surf the allocated number of sites to earn for the day. So there was always the possibility of a no earning and this would favor the Admin. I don't know if many remember those old surfing days, bit it took real commitment to surf either 50 or 100 pages, depending on each sites requirements, also we had quite a few sites to surf back then. Used to take some hours, with frame-breakers and all. lol The 1% per day was worth it, believe me. (sigh - reminiscing the good old days)

Okay, having said that. Basicly bottom line is no difference between the two. The only main difference is in the false belief of actually being something real. All the angles have been tried and coming up with new spiels is quite entertaining.

25/05/2010-Independent voice

2010-05-25T07:16:00.073-05:00

Anyone who takes the time to read here should by now realize I am not a monitor. I don't do reviews and I don't do interviews. I should wear the label of an independent, because that is what I am. A lone player who picks and chooses where I play. I don't accept bribes. I post here and on forums my experiences and views on current programs, the industry and just industry in general related stuff. I NEVER have or will send emails or PM's to others asking them to join me in anything. On occasions I do get a referral or two, but they have joined either through my sig on a forum or here in the shed. So they chose me, and I offer as I see if info here and always to gamble responsibly. I do have RSS feed emails for those who wish to receive emails on new posts here.

Also I am a member of a few forums, and use the same username in them all. Same pic and if sigs are allowed, one of the links will lead here. I have nothing to hide, no hidden agenda, just a player who chooses to be visible and hopefully make some money, have some fun. It is a social outing for me, plus a chance to share my experiences of factually posting when I do in fact get paid, or helping someone with something in a program, also being able to ask questions to others if I am not understanding procedures.

I have been branded as a "cheerleader", "pimp" and part of a team. None of those are correct in the context that was intended by the accuser. Which still to date has not addressed my response to the accusations. However by ignoring me has shown how ignorant that person is, also how "ill-informed" people can be. Assumption is a key word. Heck I can assume many things, but whether they are true or not is harder to back. To use one's position to slanderous personally attacking someone in a forum, and getting away with it, is ludicrous. So over the next few days I will post here my thoughts and experiences, or more to the point, how I see things in this industry.

Why?? Because it will give people an independent view on how things work. Maybe I see two sides of the coin, maybe not. But should give food for thought.

23/05/2010 - First month survived - Staunch achievement

2010-05-23T03:05:00.026-05:00

Here we are into the second month of StaunchFinances. Of course the make or break will come over the next few weeks. There has been a change of the plan, from business days to calendar days in the earnings. Not such a big change, but it makes it a quicker 6 days :) The reason behind this as portrayed in the newsletter was due to the season and to be competitive. I did find it a little confusing with the weekend no earn, but would have gotten used to it overtime, but daily earning is how it is now, so I'm not complaining. But that of course is my view. StaunchFinances is a HYIP and should be played as such, only risking what you are prepared to gamble. It has potential, but of course it's future lies in the hands of the members. With the way the duel plans are set, it does show significant differences to others out there, plus from day one this site was geared for growth, with a secure site, active support center, pro-active admin. To date I have been paid on each request for payment within the same day.

22/05/2010 - Invest who???

2010-05-22T08:06:00.004-05:00

The short lived Investband is a definite no go zone. Stopped paying and yet still has deposit button active. Started out with warning signs as I mentioned earlier on joining, that there were a number of things that didn't add up. So I am booking this one down to experience. Not a pleasant one, but actually thought they would run a better ship than they did.

22/05/2010 Lay time for Alpha?

2010-05-21T19:49:00.000-05:00

The big question? Is it gone or just in maintenance mode? After seeing this message one the site a few days back,
Serious problem
We are sorry to tell you, that yesterday we had a serious problem with our script and the earnings were credited to your account twice. We were trying to solve this problem in order to pay you all the money today at 9 (UTC-5). But unfortunately, we have to tell you, that the problem will be solved only tomorrow at 9 (UTC-5). Everything will be alright and you have nothing to worry about. Sorry for this problem. Best regards, Guillermo Hernandez . CEO at Alpha-Money.
08:40 » 19.05.2010

Well yeah is a pretty serious problem when there has been silence every day since. There seems to be nothing wrong with the site, but they still have purchase facilities open and no earning have been posted, plus the timer on the earnings isn't working. Definitely do NOT spend. It is the weekend now, so maybe, just maybe we might at least hear something. It is so early in this program I feel, unless all that money obviously spend on the site has been recovered and the admins decided to call it quits. Nothing known for sure, but currently on an "on hold" status.

22/05/2010 The power came and it went

2010-05-21T19:33:00.002-05:00

Yet another of the HYIP games to hit the floor this week. Hydro-Funds. It sure wasn't for the lack of commitment of the Admin Alzander. In today's market it's hard to get something off the ground long enough to gain momentum. But with member support it had a real chance, and members were supporting the site however the hole left with a reduction of deposits left many of us short. But there will always be winners and losers. It doesn't hurt so much when you know the game was played fairly. I had fun being a member of the site and hey that's how the cookie crumbles. No hard feelings towards the fellow MMG member Alzander, he at least gave it his best shot.

22/05/2010 PanaMoney - seems finally off the radar

2010-05-21T19:28:00.005-05:00

Certainly be a nice long ride with this one. First sign of anything out of the ordinary was upgrading to a new system. Now whether they were or not, no one will ever know, but having been in there since September 2008 it definitely was a stayer. Never able to call it either way, so was played like a hyip and in this case it was a hit for a lone player. It had the time to run so one could earn from their own money. Sad but it's now history.

10/05/2010. RockSolidFund - new release [edited 13/5/2010]

2010-05-10T04:36:00.006-05:00

RockSolidFund What possessed me to join? This is one of those gut feelings. Script is so simple well at this stage I am only going by the seat of my pants. Ok? Just started so in for a ride. Could be a wild one at that. I will post as more comes to light here. The admin is known in circles and has experience and also some other current sites. Will elaborate more later, or in the meantime check out some haunts and see what you come up with. But a time paid hyip, simple script and pays calender days. Good plans.

Gamble responsibly, that way you don't get hurt if you fall. :) well too much anyways

13/5/2010 Edited to update: Well as I said I went in here "by the seat of my pants" lol Well I made it to cashout on my first 24 hour stint. Yep got paid the days earnings. However since then, I have been unable to access my account, due to incorrect login details, so the site says. I know they a true and correct. I did't received any member emails about the problem, but on reading the thread on MMG hackers have been in and done some damage. To what extent I don't know for sure, however it seems that some accounts have been affected. Mine evidentally was one of them. Why some and not others I don't know. Wouldn't even hazard a guess. Probably luck of the draw. There are other members that have had no problems and continue to get paid daily. But with the days ticking by I have decided to accept a loss. I have removed any links to the site. But for those who want to play, I am sure you can find it. As always remember whatever happens, you have to take responsibility for your own actions. I took the gamble, with the good and the bad. Simple. Ya live and ya learn. :)

9/05/2010 - In need of a good HYIP?

2010-05-09T00:19:00.004-05:00

To recap on Hydro-Funds. I first posted here on 19th April my views or opinion if you like on this site. Firstly it was eye-catching site and the plan offered 7% for 18 days it quite achievable, with repeat spending. The admin Kevan aka alzander (MMG nic) has been around this industry for quite some time. He runs a monitor site and a game site. I have played alongside alzander in quite a few programs and read his postings all over MMG. He is a straight shooter and I gotta give the guy credit he has some guts taking on some of those Admins.
He stepped up to the hyip world opening his own site Hydro-Funds. As always it is the hit and runners who do the damage to a site that has a good reputable Admin with the right intentions. Seen it many times in the past. To counteract that, he opened with a total account max of $500. Now to me this really made Hydro-Funds even more achievable to last. Alzander keeps his eye on things and re-assess it every few days, so here we are after 19 day it is only $900. To me the rate of return and the cap of max upgrades along with member support, his outside revenue (monitor site plus ads) it is achievable. Actually I am sure once or twice I have used the phrase about "a two way street" but on reading the FAQ's in the site, well he doesn't mince words. Extract for easy reference to FAQ's:

"What makes me different from other long term mmg supporter members who have started their own hyip?
Well i cant vouch for other members intentions or what their plan was when they started their own hyip. But i can say that i have thought this through and i am well aware of the negative vibes that will come my way.I have been around for a long time, All info in verified pp's, domain , hosting ect is not made up and i am who i say i am.All info is widely available for everyone to see. I have nothing to hide.

Can i trust admin not close up shop and run?
Yes 100%

Can i trust you as a member to support the site and dont do a HAR??
Lets hope so ! After all its not just oneway traffic is it? Its a twoway street.
You support me and i will be here for you."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okies, with all that said here we are today with 628 members and 403 of them active, and the proof in the pudding, all payments up to date and received in a timely mannor.

What does the immediate future hold for Hydro-funds you ask. To me, I see the program already breaking the mould. Why don't you join and be a part of it. This one has more reason's to join that most out there. Please consider. Hydro-Funds - the hyip that pays :) So if you are here in need of a good HYIP, and who isn't?? Well ya just found it. All players welcome. Accepts LR, SP and STP - no AP (which is another good call by Alzander)

As always, gamble responsibly :)

8/05/2010 - Has the new revolution in the HYIP industry begun?

2010-05-08T08:42:00.005-05:00

The burning question lol Well the proof is in the pudding, as time rolls on we shall see. Certainly attracted some unwanted attention that's for sure. Dunno how I got involved in all that, but name dropping I guess. That is all in the past and onward to better days. For anyone who does read what I post on forums and here, this auto split plan idea was used by another program, however it died a natural death due to no payments forthcoming. I still think my upgrades are current there, but after weeks of no admin response nor payments well it ended up out with the garbage. I doubt this will be the case with StaunchFunds due to having launched totally prepared for growth and expanding horizons. Keeping his "investments" close to his chest really makes no difference to me. However he has some guts when pulled to task by the Suited Suitors on one forum. To me whether you like it or not, here's the opportunity as presented, questions about it, fine. But to wield a big stick and bash someone (literally) because of what someone else says!! No proof was forthcoming, just hearsay, geez even that doesn't get time of day in a court of law. OMG really where does it stop. We are all adults here, well we may not always act it, but can some credit be given to those who chose the participate in a program without being sneered upon. Afterall it wasn't their money they used. :deepbreath: [sorry, was rant time lol better get back on track] Where was I, oh the Admin (Brent) well he is active on a few forums and is quick to answer any questions posted in the forum. The payments have been quick to.

Problems to date has been the communication with email. I haven't received any but by signing into the site each day the latest news is presented infront of you and have to accept that you have read it to go to the members area. Good one. At least it is a way to keep us all up to date.

My second cycle has matured (in the high earning split) and I was paid, but being on the weekend with no earnings I decided to wait until Sunday evening server time to deposit again. This is a slower to get into profit program, (don't get me started, sorry joke elsewhere) but I feel by the repeat spending it will work out for the better the way I work.

Remember do your own sums and enjoy the ride/benefits. Usual rules apply.

8/05/2010 Alpha-Money? Real deal? Worthwhile punt if you ask me

2010-05-08T08:41:00.003-05:00

Alpha-money,a very intriguing site. Runs a great site with good protection, seems to have all the i's dotted persay. Rather unique in the way it is set up like a hyip site, yet offer MLM type referral system. I am not into MLM so I really can't comment too much on how it works, only what I read. I am not sure even what it looks like if you have a referral, so not able to comments on that side of things. But doing some searching you will find a link on the site pointing to "their" validity of their statement saying they are a "real" company, which I have no doubt as being registered in the Panama as shown here that the company is real. The crux of the matter is whether or not they actually do what they say they do or just regurgitate dollars to pay members. This really is where one needs to logically think hard if you were contemplating serious big investment. (Remember the reality is that at any time something can, and at some point usually does, happen) But to look at this with a probability something that has some substance it IS worth a look. Alexa rating shows currently at 46218. But it has only been online a few weeks, and from initial site hits it has dropped, however you would expect that to happen as members settle in or decide not their cup of tea.
So where do I stand in all of this? Ha, I have a vested interest and will continue to watch for changes, but only early days yet and payments being instant on request makes it a better way to judge management here.
So if your looking for a better odds gamble like me, I would be taking a punt here. As always, gamble responsibly :)

8/05/2010. ManorTrust - impressed so far

2010-05-08T04:33:00.016-05:00

This site strikes me as professionally run, saying that of course I still consider any "investment" risky. Payments are received timely every day. To those unaware, the IBC is shown on the front page, and they seems to have all the ducks in line. It really could be worth a punt. The plans are simple, yet very lucrative.

Depending on the amount of your investment, you will either earn 2.4% or 2.8% daily for 70 calendar days. At the end of 70 calendar days 100% of your principal is also returned.

In anyone's books that's a nice return. Of course the usual rules apply, there are no guarantees in life, but a move here might be worth your while.

7/05/2010. InvestBand - Pays daily

2010-05-07T07:43:00.001-05:00

Since I last wrote on InvestBand to date has been paying like clockwork. Payments aren't instant but certainly I notice a pattern to twice a day runs. It a lower paying site but earns 24/7. I won't go into their spiel concerning how they are financing themselves, as it is all there on their website :) So far so good. They had a rather rough start as I posted here earlier, and to date I am not aware that STP has been added.
A member email was sent out a few hours ago from the management

Hi,

As you may already know, we have been paying and clearing cashouts daily within a few hours, since the site launched a few days ago.

We are asking for your support in helping us build a solid and lasting program. The support we ask is for you to spend a minute or two to vote for us in forums and monitors to prove to everyone that you are really receiving your payments.

Some of the forums are located here: http://www.investband.com/forums.php
Our monitors are located here: http://www.investband.com/rateus.php

You can also support us by referring others. You will be paid 5% of all investments made by those referred by you.

One thing you should understand about a long term program is that it requires the support of everyone to remain so and to grow solidly. And it allows you to make good profit for a very long time. We are very strong in Forums such as MoneyMakerGroup.Com, DreamTeamMoney.Com and TalkGold.Com and many more forums, but we also need to continue growing in all forums more forums.

Thank you for reading this newsletter.

Best Regards

Management Team

29/04/2010 Overall update and rant session

2010-04-29T07:28:00.005-05:00

Bold statement, ha. Well considering where we were a few months back, just the giants holding our funds and an odd hyip here and there, well the market has picked up a tad. Of course there are no guarantees in this world, or any other that I know of really, but I am taking a chance on a select few and having some fun along the way. Enjoying Hydro-Funds, Manor-Trust, AlphaMoney and Staunch Finance, which I might add, all of these programs have paid me in a timely manner.

I wander round a few of the forums and read who and what is said about what and who. Regular cat n mouse stuff lol Yes, old habit, but there are some classical annotations getting about. Some great use and abuse of the English language. On visiting a certain monitor site, geez I which they would change there domain, and name as it really is a minefield for the unknowing. OMG and don't step in without your suit on. lol I am sure most of you can add up and do basic maths concerning a program's offers. However, it seems at least two of the so called "well respected industry guru's" can't work out how many working days in a week. Guess that is understandable considering they probably don't work jobs like the rest of us do. Therefore giving false information to their list/followers. Can't believe that so many unwary followers just follow blindly. If simple maths is beyond a priority when the incorrect results actually were used the term as a ploy for reeling in their masses, one really has to ask the question. How credible are they? I already know the answer,evidently their vision is their own back pocket, after that, nothing matters. Okies, had my gripe for this week lol Until I get annoyed enough to post my rants here again. Tis very frustrating this world :)

29/04/2010 Rogerville - 44% profit after 12 days. No hiding, here's the plan

2010-04-29T07:10:00.005-05:00

Admin known to many as "Roger" plus many call him other names but like it or not he is back with another program. Depending on whether you like him or lothe him, he plays a fair game, no pretending to be doing forex, betting or whatever. Straight out hyip. This time the little twist of the capped $1k upgrade. That's right you read right. Total of upgrade is $1000. Certainly putting a cap on hit and runners. Also only two payment processors. No AP or STP.
As always, gamble responsibly.

28/04/2010 Staunch Finance - Surpassed the 400 members mark

2010-04-28T08:57:00.002-05:00

Something that amazes me with hyip programs, is the eagerness of members to throw money into what seemingly from the outside is an out and out cut throat game, yet when something remotely viable comes along they kick the can. Received cashout here today and the site is purring along. The first of the 6 biz day plans are set to expire in the next day or so. Here's a look at the latest member email:
Dear members,

I apologize for not giving any updates the past day or so as it has been busy around here in my household. Anyway, just a few things:

1. We are currently at 448 members and that means somebody won our ongoing referral contest again! Congratulations to member#400 moha444 and upline Globablnymph! Now onto member# 500, keep up the great work!

2. In a few days, many of the high-ROI portion (20% x 6 business days) of your investments will mature. May I request that when you get paid, please post payment proofs on the various forum threads that we have. Post a payment screenshot and we will award some of you cash prizes directly to you account.

Here are some of our forum threads:

3. Speaking of forums, what do you think about having our very own forum?

4. I'm still finalizing the rules of the new contest I'm thinking about, it's not exciting enough for my taste. I might send the rules tomorrow or Thursday. Also, if any of you have any unique contest ideas, please send them to staunchfinances@gmail.com and put on the subject 'CONTEST IDEA' and explanation on the body. If we use your idea then we will obviously award you some cash prizes also.

Thank you for all the wonderful support! You all will be glad that you are pioneers of this revolutionary program. Have a great day!

Brent

Not much else to say on SF as really is only early days and of course the proof is in the pudding. Strategy in hand I'm here for the long haul, certainly going to play by the respend rules in this one. A bit for me and remainder back in the pot. You just never know in this biz what is around the corner, so if you gamble responsibly, take responsibility for you actions or in some cases in-actions, who knows where this will lead. Looking forward to the ride :)

29/04/2010 Feel the Power - Hydro-Funds

2010-04-27T20:30:00.005-05:00

Achievable with repeat spending. 7% Daily for 18 Days - Daily Payments -5% Referral Bonus - Active Members Only - Min spend $3.00. To date this site is pushing the boundaries with new members joining daily and admin keeping a lid on maximum total upgrade of $600. Of course will be assessed from time to time by Alzander. Payments are daily on request, but are all done manually for security so give Alzander time. Sometimes payments seems instant, depends on his payruns. Certainly has stepped up to the plate and now is a great time to join. Nothing really to report as no issues here, just request, get paid and upgrade. Pleasant change in pace here.

Also got to use that great graphic of oPatricko (MMG member) Splashes some nice colour on the post.
You are welcome to test the waters in HydroFunds and don't forget to drop by the MMG thread, having some fun there.

28/04/2010 - Investband - Multi Plans - 6% for 20 days paid daily to start with

2010-04-27T20:00:00.003-05:00

Joined this one yesterday. The admin has some experience, which is evident on a few fronts. Great site setup. As will many hyips not all is totally clear. However this is probably one of those contencious sites. I would say from a STP account name issue, lol yeah anyway that site it was attached did run for a couple of months. So I know I am not dealing with a total amateur here.
Below is taken directly from the site. As of today I don't see Comodo Cert. But already had my feet wet before the STP issue. So in for the ride and prepared to sit it out and see how she goes. lol Quite probable it can do ok really. But of course time will tell. I waited until I received my first payment, which I got in nano seconds lol Must have requested right at the right time. Will keep this one posted, as sometimes the obvious is not necessilary the end. All in the risks we take.
COMODO SSL CERTIFICATE ?? I can't find it.
KODDOS DDOS PROTECTION
DEDICATED SERVER TILL 2014
CUSTOM & LICENSED SCRIPT
STRICTPAY VERIFIED
ALERTPAY VERIFIED
STP VERIFIED - Not available- apparently waiting verification on name change
LR/PM/ECU SUPPORTED - ECU not available at this time

Fact is I don't quite see everything they have listed as being available.
There are plenty of plans to chose from, however considering I would only be interested in the first two which are 6% daily for 20 day, paid daily [120% Total returned in 20 days] or 1.2% for 30 days, paid daily and principle returned on request at completion of the 30 days [Total profit 36%]
Investband is only 2 days old, so not much to report at this stage. Due for daily payments, so sure to be changing my payment status and dates to suit.
Golden Rule: Gamble Responsibly

25/04/2010. Staunch Finances - Looking for member 300 It could be you!

2010-04-25T07:13:00.007-05:00

Nearing the end of the weekend. If you had been reading my previous post here you should have been working out when you go from here. So got your strategy in hand, ready to roll. The latest email from Brent (Admin SF) just landed, and he is starting some competitions. Not the usual referral ones which we all dislike intensely, but it is where a new member get a chop at some cash :) Here's the newsletter for those who are interested in joining.

Dear members,

Hope you are having (or had) an awesome weekend! As I promised on my last newsletter, I was going to announce a contest. There's going to be two contests, one is ongoing and the other one has a time limit. I will be discussing the ongoing one for now and send a separate email for the other one anytime this week. I am still finalizing some of the details.

Ok, I think I need to give you this stat for the contest, we currently have 282 members. Every 100th member starting at 300 will get a cash prize. I will base their prizes on the member number meaning the 300th member and his referrer will both get $30 to their accounts, the 400th member and upline will get $40 each, 500th member and upline $50 each, and so on and so forth. This way, everybody gets a chance and not only the major promoters, bloggers and monitors. Don't get me wrong, I highly respect them for what they do but they already make a lot of money with commissions. They still do have a higher chance of winning though but at least everybody gets a chance.

That's it and good luck everyone! Thank you for all the support!
Brent

P.S. For those new members who haven't read my last newsletter, please click on 'Newsletters' at the bottom of the SF main page. Thank you again!

In a nutshell, currently have 282 members, at 300 members that member will receive $30 !! How good is that? So pick who you want to join and get in, it might be you.
I think it is a great idea to get attention to this program, which btw is not paying monitors, it is up to the members to get out there and show support, which I don't have a problem with personally as long as they deliver to all members the service they are implying. So far, it's early days, but a great time to join. I have a suspicion the sign-up to 300 members will fill pretty fast. Take a look if you haven't already, Staunch Finances - could be the one to change the direction of this industry. Don't wanna miss out do ya?
Edit: Yep didn't take long and member 300 joined, so onto the next level - Member 400, same deal.

25/04/2010. HydroFunds - Growing Great - Responsible Thinking Admin

In this day and age it is rare to find an admin with the qualities of Alzander aka Keven. Yes he has been around and knows his stuff, and as a player he certainly has pulled Admin's up in the past publicly. Now he is in the box seat and his peeps are expecting him to perform as an admin. Well I am impressed so far, lol, not surprised that he has filled the boots I might add, however he does need support to keep the ball rolling. To date all payments requested have been received ultra fast, when he is awake of course.
The great stats shown was the high percentage of members who have in fact upgraded. Which is a testimony to the dedication of this admin.
Ok, we are looking at a HYIP, but not too over the top with returns. Achievable with repeat spending. 7% Daily for 18 Days - Daily Payments -5% Referral Bonus - Active Members Only - Min spend $3.00
HydroFunds tag line is FEEL THE POWER! Certainly characterizes what can be achieved here.
Why did I say in the title "responsible thinking admin"? Take a look around and see the incredible offers made in this biz, and Alzander right from the start put the cap on total upgrades at $500, just yesterday he increased it to $600. Sorta keeps a cap on those hit and runners. Repeat spending is what's needed here, that way we all help each other.Min upgrade is $3.

You are welcome to test the waters in HydroFunds.

25/04/2010. Manor Trust - working seemlessly

2010-04-25T04:04:00.001-05:00

Each day I have been requesting my earnings and each day I am being paid them, so far can't get much better than that. Not much to report other than lookin' good :)
Latest email from CEO
For the week ending April 24th, 2010, Manor Trust gained a profit of $36,900 across our investments. With our active investments into the southeast Asian markets, Manor Trust is continuing a highly profitable streak since the beginning of this year.

25/04/2010. Time you had that second look at Alpha Money

2010-04-25T03:09:00.013-05:00

Since I first joined Alpha Money I have had time to have a good look around and also got used to their unique script, plus been paid. (Yeah the main thing hey?)
These guys seem serious, as the security here is one of the best I have seen, if not the best. You need firstly your logon password to get in, as usual, however you also have a security password to do anything in your back office, that in turn is validated by a pin sent to your email. Considering issues in the past with other big sites this is a great foresight from the script developers here.
There are many plans to chose from, so I won't go into details as they can all be seen when you access the site, however there are principle returned ones and principle included in payments. This is a long term HYIP type setup, and if they are in fact trading, well that's the risk we take. But certainly we are dealing with professionals here shown not just by the script by COMODO Secured Point to Verify Certificate (displayed bottom right had corner of website)
So head over and have a look, instant payments, auto compounding if interested. This has it all. Definately worth the time and effort to take a look. I also notice that cookies are enabled here, so if you are contemplating joining, clear all cookies first and use a fresh window,before proceeding. I even use a different browser just to signup :) Better to join under someone who you want, instead of a clever marketer.
This site is rather different, but once inside and poking around it will all fall into place. As returned are issued after trading days, now is the time to check it out and get ready to start the new trading week. Note: not convinced totally if this is the real deal however prospects do look incredibly good to earn here over a long period of time. Take a peek!

24/4/2010. Autopilot sites?? Come on, it's either over or not

2010-04-24T07:09:00.000-05:00

Finally MMS has got the better of me. Rather annoyed at how this site has been left on autopilot, absolutely no response from Margaret the admin. I have 1,000 reasons to keep surfing this site in the hope that there might be something happen. But nope, not even a response of any kind from the admin. Yep I am out-of-pocket 25% of my "investment". I didn't quite believe that one can not make money from revenue sharing, however finally I have to admit, (I have for quite sometime now) that unless there is truly a secure source of outside revenue. I had intended to keep waiting and use the site for advertising, however with the repeated issue with sites with viruses and my computer going ballistic stopping spy ware, Trojans and worms, well it's time to say farewell. I had hoped for a better outcome, however autopilot sites are targets for those not so scrupulous operators to upload sites to. So beware!!
Now being positive lol Margaret if you do clean up the site, give us a member email, ok? But either take the site down or do your maintenance!

24/4/2010. HYIFund - Hiccup Time??

2010-04-24T06:47:00.000-05:00

Seems to have been some behind the scenes issues, either the program has run it's course or the admin decided a quick money grab with the introduction of a cycler a few days back to make a buck or few before running off. We will never really know, however like many others I have not been paid for a couple of days, also the site is running smoothly still. Also it is rumored the site is in fact up for sale.What do we do?? Well for me I will leave the oldest pending and just upgrade with the rest through the auto function. It is a wait and see position that we often find ourselves in. DO NOT UPGRADE WITH NEW FUNDS. Let's calmly let this one play out. Who knows, we may be pleasantly surprised. What have we got to lose? Nothing, we already lost it when we spent. We have a whole heap to gain if this is in fact just a hiccup. See where I am coming from?

PanaMoney - Technical Enhancement Upgrade April 21 - April 28

2010-04-21T07:18:00.001-05:00

Looks like an earning holiday :) Panamoney don't often send out anything other than the monthly statements. I have been noticing in the news box the mention of a new system to enhance earnings. So getting this email must mean they are ready to implement. I think it is commendable that they have advised us, their clients, of this week's activities. You all know how "the sky is falling attitude" jitters the members. This is a first for Panamoney and having been with them just over 18 months I am interested to see what the changes will be.

Dear Client,

The previously announced new trading system will start its implementation. The procedures will require all payment processors integration and technical upgrade and planned to be executed within April 21 - April 28. The period is included into non-trading days not affecting the investment periods of current investments.

After the integration, all active investments as well as new will be automatically traded with the new trading system, which during its testing stage has demonstrated 20% performance increase compared with the current interest average for all currency pairs.

All accounts will be accessible with the non-trading transactions available, as well as the procedures like bank transfer validation, etc. performed in usual manner.

Sorry for the inconvenience and looking forward to the better profits with our new system.

Sincerely yours,
Customer Support,
PanaMoney Technologies, Inc.

STAUNCH finances - looks like someone has been reading my mail lol

2010-04-20T13:39:00.009-05:00

Finally looks like a new breed of program is hitting the boards. You really have to check this out, similar to exactly (how contradicting is that?) the type of setup I think today's market is looking for. A definite must see. Keep reading now :)

Each deposit to Staunch Finances is split into 2.
50% goes to a short-term High-ROI Plan - 20% Daily for 6 Business Days. This portion of your deposit is paid upon expiry.

50% goes to a long-term Medium-ROI Daily Plan - 2.5% Daily for 56 Business Days. The returns for this portion of your investment are paid daily upon request.

Feasible? I think so. Built for longer term? Has the right ingredients. Site security? Gotenks script (say no more) Admin: I see admirable service in the past and has really given this some serious thought.
Up for the challenge? Want to be adventurous? Why not? This just could be the barrier breaker from old to new style. Become a Staunch Financier!!
Ha ha, thought I might forget my warning? Nah >> as always, gamble responsibly.

Hydro-Funds - HYIP daily cashouts 7% for 18 days

2010-04-19T08:27:00.003-05:00

New just launched. Hydro-funds is run on licensed neversay script, site design by the talented Doris & hosting by Koddos. 7% for 18 days, so not outlandish, but a nice return. Admin is Kevan aka Alzander who also runs a monitor site, Investment Tracker, plus game site LibertyTopSpot. It is a step out and up into the HYIP world, however due to his upfrontedness [gee there's that word again] which is obvious if you see his posts in the MMG thread, well this guys got some guts. He calls out admins to be upfront and not just to pay monitors as is sometimes the case. Been around the industry for more years than most. Can he do it? We will never know unless we have a go. Sitting on the fence won't help this industry, it's time to get involved and show some support.

The site also states this, an extract from FAQ's:
Can I lose on hydro-funds
There is risk involved. If advertising sales/RC/listing fee's ect from my income source ground to a halt we would have to reconsider the % ,plan ect.I will do my best to make sure everyone at least draws even.I will be taken a 5% fee for setup/hosting costs.
Can i trust admin not close up shop and run?
Yes 100%
Can i trust you as a member to support the site and dont do a HAR??
Lets hope so ! After all its not just oneway traffic is it? Its a twoway street. You support me and i will be here for you.

I will give Kevan my support and hopefully the more that do join we can all share in the spoils. Hydro-Funds, feel the power!! lol can feel my feet getting wet for starters. Wanna join me, should be a good ride.

This is a great part of the program. TOTAL ADPACK VALUE IS $500 meaning, you are allowed up to 10 purchases max, but you cannot exceed $500 in total. Now that is a great call by Alzander. Gives the rest of of us a chance to roll along, as hit and runners well it won't hurt the program so hard.
Usual rules apply, gamble responsibly.

Manor Trust turning a profit

2010-04-17T08:35:00.001-05:00

I have only been with Manor Trust for a few days now, but all seems to be working well, so currently quite happy with how things are going. The administration seem to have put a lot of effort into this, and of course the burning question is, "Is this real or not?" Sounds probable, but really it comes down to the risk one takes to earn. If Mr. Timothy Alexander's below email about returns is something to go on, well I would give it a shot. But never get greedy, and as always, be prepared to lose. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. lol I could keep coming up with paraphrases, but at the end of the day I am the one to gain, so it's my choice, so if your thinking hmm maybe, just give it a trial and see how you feel. I am actually going to up the anti a bit here and get into profit and hopefully enjoy the profits.

Manor Trust Profit update
Manor Trust is reporting to our investors a total of a 6% increase in profit from the entire spectrum of our investment portfolios. With the active Forex trading into southeast Asian currencies as well as southeast Asian tech company investments, we have garnered a 6% increase in profits. For the week ending in April 17th, 2010, a profit was $62,300 was garnered. With the introduction and continuing successful sales of the Apple iPad portable computer has also helped us make a larger than average increase of profit. As usual, I am Timothy Alexander, President of Manor Trust, reporting on our weekly status.

As a reminder to our investors and those who viewed our website prior to the display of our corporate certificate, we have now made that available for viewing. You may view our corporate certificate on our website.

Sincerely,
Timothy Alexander
President of Manor Trust

Alpha-Money - worth a look see

2010-04-16T21:31:00.004-05:00

Joined Alpha-Money the other day as well. Took me awhile to get myself acquainted with the unique script. Security seems to be at a high level as every time you withdraw you need a code which is sent to your email. Plus additional passwords and questions. [If you are contemplating joining, make sure you have your notepad ready as you do need remember the answers and passwords]
I have been paid also and it seems that LR is automatic, but reading forum threads AP might not be. Not 100% sure on that one, but of course wouldn't be hard to find out.
Interesting times ahead I feel. Will keep ya posted.

Is there anyone out there that can give me advice on making swf to gif?? Help would be appreciated. Thanks :)

Have your say with what you want to a successful program Admin!! Here's your chance, don't miss it

2010-04-09T08:36:00.018-05:00

Welcome back Surf-o-Matic SOM Admin Randy has posted on the MMG thread.

Well time is winding down and many are asking what is next? Surf-o-Matic.com has been in service for more then a full year. We started out as a high ROI site. That did not work so we took the summer to recoup and revamp the plans and start new plans. NO ONE lost.

Time continued and surfs lost steam However, our members stuck with us. Since last summer even interest in the paying sites has died and even the forums show very few surf sites still around and no new ones coming out. Surf-o-Matic only has 17 active members meaning of our 267 members only 17 have an active upgrade. Of the 17 members all but about 5 upgrades will end within a few days. Surf-O-Matic only has 3 members who are not yet in profit but will be within a very short time.

This leaves me asking the questions of our members.

Whats Next?

I would love to continue to serve our members, But surf sites is not a viable option, Just not enough members left in the surf industry.

Hyips are still booming and several start every day.
So since It is ultimately the members who will be the deciding factor I would like to know what YOU as a member would like to see happen from here? I would love nothing more then to hear form all members current, Past and even possible future members.

Your welcome to use the contact form on the site and even discuss in the MMG forum as I will be checking that as well.

RandyM

Time to get vocal say something. Ok? Not everyday you get a chance to spread some light touched with experiences. A bit of history of SOM can be gleaned from reading the MMG thread, here's a link for easy access. It is time for a change so give it some thought and contact Randy via the support link or post in the forum. Invoking member interest and a feasible site, let's see what we can come up with. Also Randy earns external income, so let's start asking questions :) Together we might be able to come up with a realist workable site.

Surf-O-Matic - Site back up and paying!!

2010-04-06T04:55:00.016-05:00

Welcome back Surf-o-Matic :) Randy is a casual admin, but he returns regardless. Site came back up today and we were paid our pendings as well. So back into surfing and earning again. As I thought he forgot to pay the bill lol Ah well it happens. Great little surf site this one, under the radar and plenty of room for growth. No stress site and sometimes we have to wait for payment as he doesn't have a time restriction on that and also seems he is producing income from outside sources. Will be upgrading again tomorrow with some of my earnings. So returned SOM to paying status.

Update 7 April: Upgrade button is disabled. Waiting to hear from Admin regarding the future of SOM. Makes you wonder what he has in mind. Let everyone earn until no upgrades left? Then start something else? Who knows, no doubt in time we shall see.

Xaga Enterprise - Ever hopefull, BUT ???

2010-04-06T03:09:00.003-05:00

Well Xaga dropped off cyberspace yesterday, sigh. Ok what do we think now? Hmm Is this the last we see of Xaga or is this where they fix the script?? No contact prior to the site disappearing, so one has to wonder. Result? Fingers and toes crossed, but as time goes on, well we all know the story. Read heaps from threads all over the place, really who knows. But plenty of experts out there I can tell ya. lol. We all have no option but to just wait and see how this pans out. Mind you it could be a long wait, thank goodness we don't have to surf this one.

GNI - Shocked by email !!!

2010-04-03T08:50:00.002-05:00

Received an email today from GNI, decided to have a read just to see whether they are honoring their refunds, or more to the point what they are advising us they are up to. Still like to see how this one pans out for members not in profit. Seems all is going ok at this stage, pannicker's always manage to slow down progress, or so we are told. But the bit that got me was the news on the new program, I am sure they have told us somewhere along the way about the "private" program and the min investment would be $1,000. Which in itself kicks many of us out, but the following statement - wow!! shocked me!! I try to read between the lines, but I will post here and see if you have the same thoughts as me. ok?

The New Program:
We have completed a Narrative detailing our new project. It is our intention to keep this program and process absolutely private. Those of you who are interested need to submit a ticket at this link: http://gniforum.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Our new project will require a minimum deposit amount of $1,000.00, and in shares / blocks of $1,000.00. In this ticket we need your current GNI Username and the
approximate amount of "shares" (blocks of $1,000.00) you expect to purchase. Keep in mind, there will be no 'TEST SPENDS' permitted.
Ok, $1000, no test spends??? meaning??? Hmmm once locked in, locked in?
This is a very serious program and will require extensive effort on our end, please keep this in mind when making decisions.
Now this bit gets me. Serious program: check Extensive effort admins end: check ~ Keep in mind when making decisions?? Meaning hmmm - if they loose don't blame us, we tried? or it is ultra risky? or who knows what will happen, but give us your money and if we lose, well we told you to keep it in mind when making decisions. Sorry for reading or miss-reading here, but what the heck is he getting at? If no outside info is forthcoming to possible members, well how does one make an informed decision?

Easter Greetings:

At this time, we would like to take a moment to wish all a very happy Easter. Take a moment to reflect on all the good that you have going on in your life. We know many of you are struggling. This hasn't gone by us unnoticed or unscathed. We are confident the second half of 2010 will only be better for us all. reading or miss-reading here, but what Well I certainly don't know how the second half of the year with GNI Private is going to help those struggling, maybe the "better for us all" is on his level. Geez who can afford $1k min. on an ambiguous gamble? (Maybe I live on the non-affluent side of the planet? I know many US members could not afford this, so maybe these guys have lost touch with the real world?)

Thank You all Once Again,
Robert and the Reduced in Size, GNI TEAM

Dunno about the rest of us, but seems the rich get richer. At least I can sleep at night knowing that I haven't fleeced anyone. I will stick with honestly and upfrontedness. Is there such a word? lol This is purely my take on the situation at hand.
Always remember whatever anyone tells you, at the end of the day it's your decision whatever you do. There will always be the "I shoulda" or "I shouldn't have" ~ Gamble responsibly, you can gain or flip-side is lose without too much pain.

Easter Wishes to All

2010-04-03T08:04:00.002-05:00

HighYield Investment Fund - what can I say? Awesome?

2010-03-30T08:01:00.001-05:00

Not many programs out there that you can earn from 7 days a week, plus you don't have to do anything everyday either. HighYield Investments Fund is a set and forget situation. The admin has cleaned out all inactive account, mind you there was plenty of them apparently going by the news section. Makes me wonder why people join then never utilize what they went to the effort to join. Min. deposit is $1 and you get a free $2.50, geez how hard is that to accept as a temptation. Set it on auto-compound and see how it goes. Or rotate the compound like I have been doing. Week on and week off, or just change it when I feel like it. Joined 15 December and no drama here. Just a reminder though, you never get your principle back, you just earn for the lifetime of the program on your upgrade. Good daily percentages to date, they are on the front page. Naturally if you do venture, usual rules apply - gamble responsibly.

Surf-O-Matic - free domain?? Stay tuned

2010-03-29T08:20:00.001-05:00

Seems out quiet admin forgot to pay for his hosting. The site dropped off during the night and now is a parked domain (expired) One of the members has emailed the admin, so we shall wait and see what transpires. The site has approximately 26 upgraded members and we have been enjoying some good surfing earnings. Actually seeing HYIPs are the trend these days, he might come back with a HYIP site :) I am not saying he has gone anywhere, probably just an oversite as Randy is a casual admin busy earning elsewhere to pay SOM members. Here's hopeing we will be back up and running soon.

Panamoney - believe it or not - still powering on !

2010-03-28T07:24:00.001-05:00

Today I received a "nice" cashout from Panamoney. One of my upgrades expired on Friday and I decided to withdraw this one along with some earnings, I still have others running. The site was down over the weekend, but was due to maintenance, but of course many forum hoppers were shouting doom and gloom. Seeing they don't trade on the weekend it is the time to do maintenance, so made sense to me, plus looks like they have done some security work to the site, which is a good thing as is becoming more and more popular. So all in all, pleased with the continuous service that Panamoney is providing.

XagaEnterprise - fingers and toes crossed on this one

2010-03-25T09:42:00.003-05:00

Time has come where I am having doubts about Xaga Enterprises. I certainly hope I am wrong, but I when payments stopped I actually sent Kevin an email regarding the monitors posting their payments in the forums where members weren't, and his reply was to prevent nayslayers. Hmmm We, the members, were told that no payments would be made due to the changing of the script. Also weighing heavily was during this time there seemed to be no interruption to the site showing that enhancements were in fact happening. With time marching on, well makes our thoughts wander as well. He has been ultra quiet of late. So was the going private a money grab? or was he serious about upping the anti so he can make money for us? Now with the latest email saying that he is waiting for e-currency purchases!! That just about takes the cake in my books. He is pretty quick to withdraw the dollars coming in - close on $150,000 if his call was right!! Just not adding up. But as usual a wait and see. I could be wrong as like everyone else I am only speculating and dotting the i's and crossing the t's with the info provided to members via email. Fingers and toes crossed :)

Playing the waiting game

2010-03-21T07:12:00.000-05:00

Time stops for nobody. Just thought I would drop by and touch base with some home truths. Not all is well in this online moneymaking world. Yep, my turnover has been reduced to nearly nil. Waiting for various programs to either windup completely or just finish enhancements. All we can do is wait and see what happens, however I have been doing a fair bit of reading and digging for something. lol yeah something that can be profitable for a lone earner. To tell the truth, not much out there that I can find. Seems the whole market is fixed on "lists" and referrals. I have come across some interesting comments on my travels. One that sticks in my head is where someone is boasting in a forum when asked how they make money in this program. They replied by saying I join a better looking program, send out hundreds of emails through my list and play with the referral commissions, it is the only way to make money, don't use your own. If this is the mentality of today no wonder the industry is in strife. What ever happened to making money from money, the backbone members who don't have referrals? Has short term greed just taken over?
Okay, had my gripe for the day. Believe me I want to play in the hyip's as some are looking good, but until some of the dollars I have in pending are paid I can't participate. Being held to ransom it feels like, only the loud players see any payments and the rest of us are left with promises. That's the name of the game. So whatever you play, gamble responsibily. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Panamoney - still trading on

2010-03-15T08:43:00.002-05:00

I haven't really commented much on Panamoney over the time, however it is the most stable program I have been a part of since first joining. With the demise of some of the biggies, well we think they are on their way out and won't know for sure until the proverbial "fat lady sings" but Panamoney just keeps paying. The returns vary daily depending on trade, however still a great performer.
The last 8 days trading figures: but you can pick your own pairs or just go with default. Either way you earn.
EUR/USD Trading History

I have always been paid in a timely fashion here and to date have no problems. Remember if you decided to venture, do gamble responsibly. Just sharing personal experiences of a program that has served well since Sept 2008 when first joined.

HYIFund - Free $2.50 investment to new members. Earn 7 days a week

2010-03-15T08:28:00.002-05:00

Still just cruising with HyiFund. A great set and forget program. Depending how you want to play it of course, but so far sooooo good :) For those who may have an inactive account, meaning you joined, probably put on autocompound, well it's time to do something or your account will be deleted. It only takes $1 to become a fully fledged player.

Spring User Cleanup
March 14, 2010, 1:28AM
As part of our annual spring cleaning, we will be reviewing the accounts in our system and deleting all inactive accounts. Accounts are considered inactive if they are more than 2 weeks old, and have not yet made a deposit. Any account that has made a deposit is considered active and will left untouched. The purpose of this, is that we are attempting to speed up our databases. With 37,000 accounts, the servers can become a little "bloated" at times. By removing inactive accounts, we will be able to increase the speed of our website to serve you better. The spring clean up will take place on March 18th.

If you aren't a member, what are you waiting for :) Pays daily!
