29/05/2010 - RogerVille has now ended

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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???

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?

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

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

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]

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?

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?

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

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

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

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
