No Bullshit HYIP Blog, A Part of No Bullshit Network

Marcos, there’s still time, if you see this, get back to my email, else everything will be released to the public.

Our database got crapped up after trying to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress. Guess everything has to be tested properly before doing any upgrades in the near future.

The era of finding a passive program for generating high returns for a living on the Internet is ALMOST over, it seem. Whatever you’re seeing that guarantees you 2% to exorbitant and absurd returns, you can even stop looking at it and just treat them like your normal spam mails and thrash them (that’s a HYIP tip for you)

What we are actually looking at now, not exactly only passive, but lucrative legitimate businesses that we can go into, pick up something as a skill set and learn to grow your own money exponentially (Remember we did a poll about half a year ago on what directions should our new blog take? ). We have heard about Forex scams and Forex investments since our 2 years with HYIPs, now let us take a look on whether how true it is and whether learning or trading Forex is the thing for you.

What is Forex?

Forex? An almost 24 hour high liquidity market that evolves around foreign currencies that we use ranging especially from the majors like US Dollar, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Canadian dollar and more. Since it allows you to leverage your money on the ratio and lots, its highly recommended for anyone who has different kind of risk appetite when it comes to trading. Let’s give an example.

Usually we will see a pair of currency denominating in the markets. An example would be GBPUSD, Whatever that is the front pair is usually the stronger pair (GBP in this case). You can always buy or sell the pair depending on whether the Pound will gain against the Dollar or fall. Should you buy the pair and if the pound gains, you make money; should it go the other direction, you lose. Alternatively, should you sell the pair and if the pound loses against the dollar, you make money (This is short lament term explanation, there’s really more to it, you can read more in details here)

Is it Easy to Pick Up Forex?

Its not really that hard at all! I started learning with a cliche of friends who was already in, and they recommended nice forex resources that are useful. Note, there are so many free resources around on forex that you can learn something from and you don’t have to pay for some forex package if you don’t mind studying on your own.

A good place to start will definitely be Babypips, from the way on how they present their forex curriculum, and I’d recommend Nobs Forex, our own forex blog publication too.

Clear your doubts in forex forums like Babypip’s, Forex Factory’s or even Nobs Network and get answers from experienced traders.

Risk Appetite and Discipline is the Question

Any forms of financial tools require immense discipline when it comes to growing your money. In this case, we are talking about learning a skill set to work on growing your money and not any kind of passive deposits where it grows your money exponentially.

You will have to decide on the risk level you can accept and go with the adjustments of your trading account before even embarking on the journey. Blowing forex demo accounts is pretty much common, according to the Video Game mentality that tianx has brought up before.

Learning to trade monopoly money and treat it as if your own is definitely a requirement here before risking your own money. The question is, do you have the discipline to stick with your risk appetite and not risking more at any point of time?

In summary, the requirements of trading Forex:

- Good mindset
- Discipline
- Willing to Learn
- More Discipline

Forex Trading Versus HYIPs

Forex hands down, anything beats your regular in-the-mill HYIP games when you have full control of your money. The risk that you face is blowing out your own account.

Unless you’re able to prove that the investment program that is raising funds is legitimate and has a good business plan to grow your money, which is increasingly difficult to find since more and more swindlers come online just to raise money for their own pockets instead of presenting a possible opportunity to grow your money. There are still a few gems around with variable returns on investment (ie, not fixed %), but cases and chances of finding these HYIPs now are really rare.

So, Still interested in picking up Forex?

Here, you can start off with Babypips, and our curriculum at Nobs Forex, and shoot us any questions via Nobs Network Forum in the forex thread. I’d definitely be around to help and answer your question.

Prior to this old news when we’re down. There’s confirmation coming from Google that they stopped accepting Adword advertisements with the word E-gold. Source from Digital Money World,

Thank you for advertising with Google AdWords. After reviewing your account, we’ve found that one or more of your ads or keywords does not meet our guidelines. You can see your disapproved ad(s), the reason for disapproval, and editorial suggestions, from the Disapproved Ads page within your account.

Which means good news for sites like us, so we don’t get any more kind of scam ads floating around with Adsense advertisements google has (though I still see them around). Ah well, we’re renaming our site soon with a new URL dealing with serious stuff.

Say byebye to HYIPs, or at least games that doesn’t win you much

Since search engine optimization is a lengthy process, it is advisable to divide it into smaller, comprehendible parts. The plan behind an effective internet marketing is to take every step but slowly, at a pleasurable pace. The internet marketers charges are sky-rocketing, which is why it is quite understandable why people have taken website marketing into their own hands. Even regular advertising agencies cannot handle this online advertising as well. For search advertising, you need to have patience, creativity and endurance.

I think its really late since the blog was launched two days ago, Life Holdings has a new blog, a good move by Dan to improve the communication situation.

His site has been shifted into my dedicated as well, so we shouldn’t have any kind of forum problems again (except possible DDoS? lol). Let’s hope he comes on to explain the withdrawal situation soon to everyone

It comes as great surprise to me when people who put their savings on their line to some specific investment, and either lose a chunk or the whole lot of it and don’t move on from there. I’ve been through that stage, and I know what kind of pain any kind of ‘investors’ are facing when they realize that their money is lost.

You could come up with a lawsuit against the scammer if you know the identity, but chances of recovering is usually slim once the money is spent (FX-Expert Marcos, if you’re seeing this, I haven’t forgotten about you). Which comes to the basics again.

Never Ever Spend What You Cannot Afford To Lose

Be it in any form of investments, forex, mutual funds, hedge funds, stocks, commodities and even HYIPs. There are no guarantees (or at least I haven’t heard of any sure-win) in the future on how your money will perform in nay-said funds. Yes, even for forex managed accounts, your account might still be margined even though you have total control of your account since its under your name.

Look at how NSFG has performed, you get what I mean.

Due Diligence is still a Must

At least the very basic I know, is to get whatever information that you can, and not listen to your friends and cheerleaders only for what you will be investing on. I sure had my ups and downs from the past 4 to 5 years with scams, ponzis, and a few genuine ones that washed down the drain eventually.

Due diligence might not be the key to your investment success, but at least you’ve done your job by scoping whatever you could, and know where and how to go on with the next course of action should anything happens.

Keep a Lookout

Keep on reading and learning. I started with HYIPs, I’ve seen through the little tricks that admins try to do. They’ll just swallow you up like no one’s business as soon as your funds keep going into their accounts. Those who went in first reaps the benefit of those who came in last (short ponzi definition). Through time, I’ve learnt, forex really could do you a favour. HYIPs wasn’t wrong that forex can give fantastic returns (at a price).

Everyday is a learning day for me when I read up interesting things. That’s how I got to know Dan from Life Holdings as he shows me how forex could be even more fun and even gambling when done correctly can be your friend. Reading up means you’ll know more about where your money is going and how is it gonna work for you in terms of growing instead of working against you, losing wise.

Expand Your Social Circle on the Same Interest

You like investments? You prefer a passive income through the investment arena? Pick up new friends through forums and blogs. Feel free to email or message them anytime you want to learn something new. I’m sure those people who joined forums in the first place have always been looking out for friends and information too. On top of my head, I’d recommend HYIP Discussion, Nobs Network, Golden Talk if you are interested in making friends who dabbles with HYIPs. I sure haven gotten a few good friends like Sharon (Nobs), Tony (Nobs, HYWD), Dan (LH) , Steve and Tianx (IS), Simon (OIO) and a lot more.

Picking up friends on the same group means that they’ll keep a look out for you too if you guys happen to use the same tool for generating your returns on investments.

Never Ever Spend When In Doubt

Never ever, ever spend when in doubt. You see emails coming in giving hot tips on recent stocks (and many of them talking on the same counter), you’re desperate, you think you’ve gotten some real insider’s tips. You don’t verify the source. BAM! You get swallowed when you start placing money in.

When you have the iffy feeling of spending your seed money on the wrong thing, you’ll know it. But when you hit the spend button, be it from your E-gold account, your Paypal account, your credit card, or even your bank wire, there is no point of return (unless your investment proved you wrong by showering you right with dividend and returns)

Never.. Ever Blame God or Pray Things Will Go Smoothly In Your Way

What’s the point of doing it? I see this as a REALLY bad excuse of blaming your religion when things go wrong. You’ve made the choice, and you’ve decided on the course of action on your own. Why pray god that things will go straight to your direction when things go wrong? Fix it on your own by moving on! See this comment on the recent Global Pension Plan thread from one of our readers and you’ll get what I mean.

Hi Abdul,
I am not an old member like you but like you I have also signed in my three year old daughter. Let us all pray to GOD that GPP pays, let us put in our hopes and beliefs to generate enough positive energy to counter the naysayers. I HAVE EXPERIENCED AND SO DO BELIEVE IN THE MIRACLE WORKING CAPACITY OF PRAYERS.
We work hard enough to give our children the best we can, GPP payout will better it.

Iamrich

Move on. Really. Spending time wasting on prayers (no pun intended, and in no way offending any religion. you still have to do your prayers for good health and a happy life) that things will come straight for your investment and go on and think about how to make money or even do some planning on your spendings to curb with any kind of lost that you have suffer in case of any failed investment.

Never Ever Quit Your Job Unless You’re Warren Buffett

I’ve recently quit my job. No! Not because I’m doing well in investments or so, but to pursue my dream. That’s two different issues now. Just when you think that your money in investments is pulling off and giving you handsome returns monthly, doesn’t mean that it will never fail (I’m touching wood for you). So do whatever you need to keep yourself afloat and save up the money from any investment tools that you have gotten returns from for rainy days.

As I’m working hard on the revamp of the site, I’ll drop more lines when I can. Feel free to add more to the list if you like by dropping a comment or saying Hi on Nobsnetwork, cheers.

Well well, a rebound for Infinity Shares Club, 5%!

Hello,

Finally I can send you all the mail with the results for last month. There was a delay because our host was having difficulties like explained in our previous mass mail, and I was also out of town for a week.

Anyway, you have all waited long enough and so I can finally tell you we had a nice month. We made a profit of 5.5277% and we were able to build up a reserve funds again, so its all looking good. Besides that, we are already in profit for the current month!

On top of that, just before this mail was sent, I processed all pending withdrawals, so everything should be up to date now. Here is the split up of the profit:

About 3.3% is going to increase the share price from 3.35 to 3.46.
Another 2% is used to pay out as dividend being 0.07/share.
The remaining profit is also added to the reserve funds.

One last thingie, I am currently looking into the lotterly prizes issue, so keep an eye on the forum for updates about that subject, and also look at our blog once in a while for trading updates,

Regards,

The ISFIC Team

A few months back, I remember Global Pension Plan has reached its 100,000 members.

What is Global Pension Plan?

According to its plan, its a venture from Liechtenstein, that allows you to pay 30 euros (30€) for a chance to make 55,000 euros (55,000€). I’ll quote direct from CashFlow, NN.

GLOBAL PENSION PLAN (GPP) is a project where a wealthy financier plans to invest $12 billion in old age pension insurances. Therefore GPP is looking for 100,000 persons that will sign up for one policy each while the financier covers the cost of an average of $41,000.
The stipulation is that the financier then can buy the policy back for $120,000. As a member you will then get $55,000 or 110,000.

GPP even offers a second income opportunity if you help new members into this project. A Loyalty Program Bonus will be paid with $2.000 for every new member,12 levels deep. Please notice that there is no requirement to bring in new members. All payouts will be made after that GPP has reached the target of 100,000 members.
A summary of the costs for the financier looks like this:
Average cost for one policy: $41.000 (x 100.000 = $4.1 billion)
Payout to each member: $55.000 (x 100.000 = $5.5 billion)
Loyalty Program Bonus, $2.000 x 12 levels $24.000 (x 100.000 = $2.4 billion)
TOTALLY: $120.000 (x 100.000 = $12 billion)

Was it just a scam? Personally I’m really skeptical of how it will work out. There were even questions on this on my mind like, “So you’ll have to reach a 100,000 member strong in order to receive the 55,000 euros payback. What if one of them unfortunately passes away, does that forfeit and terminate everyone’s contract too?” and more.

It doesn’t make any economical sense for you to have over 183 fold returns (you got that right) with a magntitude of 100,000 times.

So what has become of everyone’s 30 euros? The last heard, the target has been hit and they’re still accepting funds. Anyone in GPP, RPP can maybe feed us with more.

A few readers emailed me to question on where’s Golden Talk and HYIPRanks. To everyone who’s unfamiliar with them, they’ve one of the largest HYIP community, comparable to HYIPDiscussion, less of Talkgold and MMG.

DesertFox of HYIPRanks has actually updated on PinoyMoneyTalk on their situation,

HYIP Ranks is not closed, it’s still under massive DDoS. Our previous hosting has refused to host us since they cannot take over this attack, so we are currently looking for the alternatives. It would take a couple of days to move all the files, databases and scripts to the new hosting and configure everything.

Regarding our E-gold account – yes, it was blocked indeed. However, we have already resolved this situation with E-gold and value limit has been removed from account.

We will send an e-mail to all our registered members as soon as everything is back to normal. Once again, we are sorry for the inconveniences but the situation is completely out of our control.

Thanks.

Just received an email from Rupert, PPREI

Hello
How are you?

It has been a long haul to get the new PPREI site up and running, but we are finally there

The truth is, the site was ready a few months back and we were about to launch it but then we heard about rumors at FriendlyPay so we held off. FriendlyPay then stopped processing transactions. At this time we decided to no longer accept FriendlyPay. FriendlyPays payment system was heavily integrated into our new back end script which took a long time to do as it is not the easiest to work with (however it is very secure). So we had to change all the code for the script and re-do the site. That is why the long delay.

Now what……Well we have decided to no longer use an Escrow provider as we still do not know what is happening with FriendlyPay, and to have money tied up in any Escrow payment system is crazy. We are now using PayPal, Ebullion and Wire.

Why these options?

Simple…..PayPal has been around for a very long time and we have checked to make sure they allow Real Estate payments and our service (which they do). Ebullion has also been around for a long time and is located out of the USA or Canada so it shouldn\’t suffer the same problems that Egold is having plus it is a very secure site. Wire transfer, this is the easiest way to transfer money to us as you can wire it directly to us.

PPREI was built with safe payments (Escrow Payments) however with the loss we may face with FriendlyPay we can not allow that to happen again. Everyone that invested using the Escrow system, your money is still invested with us. Even though we may never get that money out, it is still invested with us as that was our promise that your funds would be safe.

REFUNDS:
For those that do not feel comfortable moving forward using these new payment options we will provide a refund back through how you paid. We will simply cancel your Escrow Payment(s) you made with us through FriendlyPay and you can try to get your money back out. Or you can leave it invested with us and if FriendlyPay doesn\’t come back then we will be the ones to take the loss as you have already invested the money with us.

Those of you that have invested into the Early Bird plan on the old site please go to the PLANS page and you will see a plan named OLD EARLY BIRD PLAN. You must use that plan to continue investing your monthly payment until the entire 24 payments have been paid (payments from FriendlyPay plus the new payments).

We wish to thank each of you for your patience with us while we changed our site. Without you PPREI would not exist.

Rupert
PPREI Admin
Invest in your future.

On the other hand, I haven’t heard anything about FriendlyPay, maybe we should ask Mark, the SE for digital currencies.

Whilst GDCA has another warning issue on E-bullion, GDCA has responded to one of my friend, Dennis’s email.

First, here’s GDCA’s new warning,

E-BULLION UPDATE (AUGUST 2007)
We have just been informed that E-bullion.com is also listed with an F rating by the Council of Better Business Bureau, Inc., and unanswered complaints seem to be going back as far as 2005. Details can be found here, on their own website.

Now, be surprised with E-bullion’s response,

“This bogus warning is in retaliation for us asking Autocambist and GoldAge
to leave the system due to conflict of interests. The parties that own these
companies also operate an DGC issuer, which has been strictly forbidden within
the e-Bullion system as it could validate arguments of industry collusion.

We trust that e-Bullion account holders do not believe everything they read
on the Internet, especially when it originates from these individuals.

You can read more about individuals involved with the GDCA here:

elease/GoldAge- –District- Attorneys- Press-Release. html

Thank you for choosing e-Bullion.

Regards,
Customer Service, e-Bullion”

Now its a real conflict of what they’re putting up. Who should you trust? A self regulatory body of exchangers? Or E-bullion? Your call.

One falls after another as RTA Online admin, Max bites the dust with his venture, the news came from Hawkman95 on NN.

Hi my dear users,
I’m sorry I have bad news!
As you might noticed there’s been problems with my egold account last couple of days, my sleepless days.
E-gold suddenly blocked my account!
Then I manage to transfer some funds to other account to process your withdrawals. Very soon, this other account was blocked. Then I repeated the process 2 more times with 2 accounts, managed to make some payments to you, then they blocked those 2 accounts!

I can open new account, but as I deposit funds and make payment to you, they will block it again; as they blocked older accounts of friends of mine as well as new ones.

Of course, accepting new investments wasn’t possible. None of these accounts can accept spend.

I wrote them 2 times with no reply! They didn’t explain me the reason original account was blocked in the first place!

When I tried to deposit to new e-gold account just to pay you, I got message that I can only deposit to my original account that is blocked! Then how am I supposed to pay? Beats me.

What worries me the most is how to pay you! I can pay you from any of those several accounts that I opened and managed to transfer funds, but they are all blocked and if you want to receive payments from me, you should change your e-gold settings to “Spends from blocked accounts: Accept”
But it puts your account in jeopardy because e-gold will probably block it, as they blocked those other accounts!

I know what it sounds like, that I’m trying to cheat you or something but I don’t!!! I will continue to fight this thing to the end! I will not accept new investments; I would only like to process your withdrawals but as I said, e-gold might block your account!

Please if somebody has a suggestion what should I do, please suggest me!

I will get back to you on Monday, hope that I will have some good news from e-gold by then! Until then keep your fingers crossed!

Brow from NN has suggested to him on ways to get his E-gold back, but should we not hear back from him on Monday, we probably won’t.

Well, during the downtime I received a friendly email from one of our readers who wished to share this with us.

Don’t know if you will find this interesting….

I believe you know that Matt Gagnon, or Mazu has affiliated himself closely with Legisi. Since Legisi is pretty much talked about in your site, I thought you might find this interesting….

Here’s the special offer link from Matt Gagnon. Attractive?

* 24% on your money (annually, with the ability to withdraw or reinvest yearly)
* 100% SEC compliant
* Bank wires and cashiers checks only
* Program is monitored by Wells Fargo Bank
* All invested funds (yes, we can use the “i” word) are used to purchased real estate

I’m not sure whether they could prove to you that they’re 100% SEC complaint, and also being monitored by Wells Fargo. All I know is that as long its related to Legisi/ Mazu, I’d drop. There’s nothing good that I’ve heard about the group, not to mention that Legisi operates in a shady manner that got themselves fixed with their E-gold accounts seized.
