    Well, I haven’t posted on this blog since 2007!

    All the people that were around then, like Sharon’s Opinion, have totally disappeared. I tried contacting her several times and never got an answer.

    I have to admit to playing the HYIPs here and there, but lately I have switched focus and have gone into Affiliate/MLM Marketing. I promote companies like PeopleString, Green Smoke.

    Happy New Year!

    I haven’t received anything on my email, but Dan is moving again on Nobs Network with some updates.

    Hello, it’s me, Dan. Sorry for the new username, I cannot seem to reset the password for the old one.

    I think I should begin with an apology for not making public updates for months at a time. I have been busy, tired, depressed, you name it, but then again I haven’t stopped working. I feel that I should mention I haven’t come here trying to buy myself time for anything really. I haven’t ‘gone into hiding’ and won’t do that no matter what.

    So what’s happening with me lately? I’ve been working 12 – 18 hours a day for the last 7 – 8 months, trying to actually get somewhere with the refund process and everything else.

    Something really important you might not know: we’ve been through 2 major downs and ups so far in the last year concerning the whole fund. One was a year ago, another one in March when refunds stalled again. Everything else in-between was just problems over problems and me working desperately trying to take us back on track somehow.

    It was my decision to keep this information away from everyone, and as bad as this decision may have been, I take full responsibility for it. The reason is simple, I probably wouldn’t have had a chance to try to recover.

    I know the opportunity of coming clean and actually showing you guys something tangible is closing on me really fast after so much time spent in the dark but one way or another we will close this chapter of our lives very soon. I would like to think we will close this in a good way, rather then the really really bad way. Of course I know the worse is possible from you guys, I’m 100% aware of it!

    Philip visited me! We talked a lot and he has probably seen how simple and cheap I live and that I didn’t steal any money from any of you.

    It’s Friday now, I don’t have a lot at hand to present to you here and now.
    Monday afternoon I will be back with more information and maybe we will even make some decisions concerning several things, regarding reimbursement and method of payment.

    Jude, I won’t be available until Monday. Philip ditto.

    If you have questions please leave them here or at optimuslh@gmail.com – valid e-mail address, please confirm Jude, and I will return with an answer in a couple of days.

    Regards,
    Dan

    Yes, the email is vaild. But I wish there’s someone to answer the emails. I think Dan gets my drift on what I’m heading after. It would seem he won’t be reading this, but if he doesn’t answers anyone back again on Monday, I won’t be thinking of helping him out anymore.

    Have fun.

    I suppose its not going to be a new news to all since everyone might have eventually forgotten about this but I won’t.

    Two years ago, this young chap has asked me to give him a chance to proof to the world that he could do it, at the same time bringing his investment group up to a new level. He has genuine intentions. Through interviews, countless messages, webcam sessions and phone calls, we’re able to verify that he exists and the things that he mentioned about using the money in Betfair games and Forex is pretty much real.

    Time passed, things changed gradually till there was some hitch with this young lad. The government, the ‘wires’, the ‘bullion buys’. I’ll stop here. It breaks my heart again to realise I have been holding onto a possible friendship and even trust on someone that thrashed everyone’s hopes on him.

    I’m giving you, Z Dan A, the last chance to get in touch with me before your documents get released to your government and all authorities of whom has invested in Life Holdings gives you the jail term.

    And more, trust me Dan.

    Andy Bowdoin, the President & CEO of ASD Cash Generator (english & spanish site) is also at the “MASTER MIND” of Golden Panda.

    ASD Management has highly RECOMMENDED Golden Panda, they are not running it but they are in ASSOCIATION. The Chief Executive Officer of Golden Panda is Clarence Busby, Jr.

    If you join Golden Panda the 1st month you’ll get a 100% Matching Bonus + 3% daily Rebates. I’ve heard that the 100% Matching Bonus will be applied to every members who are upgrading their first time whenever the month they are upgrading, it could be IN 6,.. 12 months… starting from today.

    This Surf programs is pretty similar to ASD Cash Generator. The explanation here: ASD Cash Generator Review

    This is a sum up of the the program:

    ********

    Advertising Rebates:

    Rebates are paid to advertisers for viewing other advertiser’s websites.

    The advertiser receive 125% of their advertising cost in rebates by viewing up to 30 web sites of other advertisers on a daily basis for 15 seconds each. An advertiser must have an active ad package to earn rebates. If he miss a day of viewing the required number of web sites, he does not earn any rebates for that day.

    Your ad purchase will expire when you receive a 125% rebate of your ad cost.

    5% will be used for contests or raffles.

    15% will be used for referral commissions.

    14% will be paid to various boards, trainers and designers.

    11% will be used for administrative costs, customer support, hosting, site maintenance, advertising and profit.

    ********

    Referral Commissions:

    An advertiser may pay a monthly membership fee and increase referral commissions and decrease the number of sites to view on a daily basis. The amount of your monthly membership fee determines the amount of your referral commissions and the number of sites you must view each day to receive your rebates.

    If you do not pay a membership fee you will be paid a 3% referral commission on all of your personal sales only. Free members cannot earn rebates.

    When you pay a $20 per month membership fee you earn a 7% referral commission on your personal sales and 4% on your 2nd level sales. When you pay a $100 per month membership fee you earn a 10% referral commission on your personal sales and 5% on your 2nd level sales. All rebates and referral commissions can be changed at any time with a 10 day notice to Advertisers. Any such notice will be sent by email.

    ********

    Ad Packages and Credits:

    All payments made to Golden Panda are considered advertising purchases, not investments or deposits. All sales are final. All rebates paid to advertisers are for the service of viewing other advertiser’s web sites. All commissions are for referring advertisers to Golden Panda.

    Each ad package is $1.00 and is made up of 1 credit. You get 1 showing of your web site for each credit. The minimum ad purchase is $10.00. The minimum cash out is $10.00.

    You receive 1 credit (1 showing of your web site) for each site you view. Depending on your membership level, you must view up to 30 web sites each day for 15 seconds each to receive your daily rebate. Viewing up to 30 sites daily will provide you with enough credits to keep your web site showing every day.

    You can view a maximum of 72 web sites per day. This should enable you to keep 3 web sites showing on a daily basis. You can show 1 web site, for 10 days, view web sites and earn credits even as a free member.

    ********

    Maximum Ad Purchases:

    You may purchase a maximum of 50,000 ad packages at $1.00 each, per monthly cycle, which begins on the 1st of each month and ends on the last day of each month, at any one time for a total of $50,000. If you desire to purchase a single amount greater than this, you will need approval from the company.

    Free Members can advertise 1 web site for 10 days. If you have purchased ad packages and are not paying a membership fee, you can advertise 3 web sites for as long as you have active ad packages. If you pay a membership fee of $20 per month you can advertise 4 web sites for as long as you have active ad packages.. If you pay a membership fee of $100 per month you can advertise 5 web sites for as long as you have active ad packages.

    Well it’s not going to do any good if it’s not moving. Benson Koh, an author of our team at NobsInvest has asked for a boost and a plugin on his new free service to the public.

    Basically su is a two character domain that shortens your url from a lengthy one into a ten character url.
    su.sg - shorten your url, works like tinyurl

    Works pretty well if you’re a heavy newsgroup user or even a person who wants to save url characters if you advertise on papers or something which is related. Try it to see if it works for you.

    Try it today ;)

    I wrote an article about this scam at nobsinvest.com. I should have included it here. Actually I should have written here first. LOL

    The discussion over there is a lively one! Typically, the flunkies of the scam are protesting and trying to discredit me. Come read about it, learn where to report it and take action by reporting it.

    Thanks,

    The CEO and founder of ASD CashGenerator is a reputable businessman: Andy Bowdoin who worked closely with Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie many years ago. He has also started and run many other successful start-up businesses including Cellular Phone when they 1st came on the scene and the GPS technologies when they were 1st being developed.

    ASD CashGenerator is available WORLDWIDE and they have already about 40,000 members. They have been around for about 19 months and this is just the beginning, I’m confident they will be there for many many years.

    Basically this program is PASSIVE, no recruiting is necessary to create significant gains but you have to COMPOUND daily (when you have a minimum of $10) to maximise your earnings. You can also chose to be ACTIVE and refer people but it’s OPTIONAL, not mandatory. The Referral Commissions varies depending on your Membership level and are up to 10% on your 1st level and 5% on your 2nd level. You can still earn money if you are a FREE member: you simply view sites to earn credits and add them to the site(s) you’ve registered and earn income by people viewing your site(s) and buying your product(s) or service(s) or joining your program(s).

    An Overview of the program here: Video Presentation (click on the video when it ends to see the next one).

    *ps: it’s not really an autosurf but I couldn’t find in which other category to put this program.

    I have been MIA-ing for a long long while busy with real life and work, but nevertheless I still visit our Nobs Network Forum regularly to chat up with old friends.

    Club FX suit has been filed against Peter Buchner, and hopefully we’ll see things happening soon. Thanks to the power of internet and thanks to the community we have, T-man our local Saviour in South Africa has filed to Financial Service Board SA with all our emails and conversing with Peter B, his claims and the amount that he has defrauded us.

    For detailed information, you can visit our 87 pages worth of Peter Buchner’s (at the moment) discussions here.

    Dan, Life Holdings updates me via IM on the withdrawal process,

    Hello,

    I have 1/3 of LH funds in my bank account but I cannot send them out to the exchanger just yet – my bank says I have depleted my credit limit for a week or so.

    I will notify you when my transfer limit will be re-activated.

    Regards,
    Dan
    Life Holdings Management

    I thought I’d add in that his wire to me was smooth and many investors has received their refunds via Ebullion as well. Kudos.

    Though both of them are folding, they’ve kept up to their words.

    Infinity Shares and Life Holdings has successfully refunded most investors on their list with Infinity Shares having one to go and Life Holdings having quite a few more (the wires are pretty damn slow, but its out)

    Any future plans of Infinity Shares would be on their new forum.

    For Life Holdings, there are future plans with me and Dan once the refunds are 100% out for everyone. All the juicy bits should come after the withdrawals.

    It has been a good ride for both ;)

    If you are a Life Holdings member, check out this thread here.

    And if you have been scammed by Club-FX, check out this thread here.

    Thanks to a sharp eyed reader at Digital Money World, GPRS HYIP comes back to haunt new users after Minvestment.

    Alan Merrett
    Feb 5, 2008 at 1:32 pm

    Allow me to confirm that Minvestment has become http://www.gprshyip.com. There is no doubt. On their own homepage, in their incredible haste to rob Min investors, they forgot to remove their name from the new script on the second to last paragraph. Mind bloggling stupidity! Please be aware that no one should waste their valuable time and money with this new scam.

    It’s a scam, just stay away. Also, read Benson’s confession when he dabbled with HYIPs two years ago, kind of remind me how foolish I was when I ran this site to believe in beating the system.

    They probably would be working on a new site once they know everyone is well alerted off. They’ve got the money after running Minvestment anyway.

    As of Dan, Life Holdings official response here in NN,

    Yes, every Life Holdings member will receive a full refund. Most of the refunds will be made via E-bullion – especially the large members.

    I do not plan to manage the pool myself (for members with smaller balances) for the new venture – managed forex accounts. I am not sure if there will even be a pool.

    The first batch has not reached E-bullion yet. The entire refund process will require a bit more patience from everyone, but it sure as hell won’t last long from this point on.

    Travis – I am puzzled why your wire hasn’t reached you yet. Seeing how long it took Jude to get his, if your’s was second or third after his, you should get it in a few days. I will get you your receipt (the wire identification number) when I go to the bank again sometime next week.

    Quote:
    Hello Dan, What do I’ve to do now with the “everybody get refund”, do you need particular information to make your life easier?
    Cheers,
    GE
    When I get to you I will request your E-bullion account if you haven’t deposited using one.

    1. Do not e-mail me with your E-bullion accounts. When I get to you, I will ask for it.
    2. Besides the members who will receive their payments within a week or so, there are several more large members (inmarc’s second half of the balance, Jody, Sharon, Hannu, etc). I will try to finish with as many large members in February! Smaller accounts will take 2 weeks to cash-out, all of them.

    Quote:
    And what about e-gold refunds?
    If you do not want E-bullion I will have to begin buying E-gold too in a couple of weeks…

    Quote:
    I’d very much prefer to join his new proposed venture rather than withdraw, but I haven’t heard Dan mention anything about his “new thing”. If it’s a MA I’d hope he’s consider building a pooled account for those who don’t have the high minimums that he’d for sure ask for ($10,000+)
    Unfortunately I won’t have enough time to manage any pools.
    PS: There’s little chance the minimum for managed accounts will be JUST $10,000.

    Quote:
    Hiya Dan, i invested just before you started having all the problems. i have never recieved an email or never corisponded with you, so please can you tell me what info you need to make sure i am on your books for a refund!!! Cheers!
    Drop me a PM and I will try to give you a date for your payment when I can.

    Optional, the money is “moving”, that’s all I need to say for now. Oh yeah, you’ll get paid too this month. I Promise!

    davinci79 – small account, unless I have change left after the big payments you probably won’t get your money until next month.

    That’s it for now.

    Dan

    It’s moving, be patient :) And maybe think of the next plan to pool for the managed if you are still interested in him.
