FINSTEEL Global Mind Investments review

Hola mis amigos!

Since there isn't much that I know about metals that are not adorned with precious stones and can be worn regardless of the season, this time I think I'm just going straight to the point. Why, you ask?

Well, if you're an expert at steel from Finland, feel free to jump anytime you want. Wait, you can’t, sorry. See? You just have to sit there and read my ramblings.

First of all, you need to know that “the best way to get exposure to steel is by investing in companies that produce steel, specifically globally integrated steel companies”. Did you know that, amigos? I sure as you-know-what didn’t. According to FINSTEEL Global Mind Investment’s official website, that’s the way to go. What you should also bear in mind is that “not all of the leading companies are available for investment”, because “some of the top steel-producing operations are private” while “others trade on foreign exchanges that do not issue American Depository Receipts (ADRs)”. I’m somewhat confident that it’s all news to you, right? So far I kind of feel like I’m just watching a foreign movie without subtitles, how about you? Fortunately, FINSTEEL’s website is truly straightforward, as if in anticipation of such problems, one may start to think...

you have probably deduced by now, the name of the company might be understood quite literally: it may a company that deal with steel from the lovely, albeit rather cold, country called Finland or it may be all about the finances as well as the steel. In addition to being simple, finsteel.biz is a neatly designed website. With one of the most “on message” sliders I’ve ever seen, the colors are bright and appealing, and the whole browsing experience is fairly pleasant. Nevertheless, there is not much to read there, which I always find more or less annoying, depending on the quality of the reading material at hand. Here, it’s less irritating than usually, but since I know nothing about the steel business per se, I would greatly appreciate some less general information.

Roulette GURU review

Hola mis amigos!

Amidst all the programs that keep on emerging, it’s getting harder and harder to discern between all the “sunshine”, “riches”, “success”, “opportunities” and other collocations with which they try to brand our brains.

I mean, I get it, guys, they’re trying to sell a product just like everybody else, but it would be amazing if they cracked a dictionary now and then and just think of something different. Or, another choice, open a dictionary of quotations, that’s an equally wise choice. Which is – coincidentally, right? – what today’s protagonists seem to have done.

Let’s start with the facts, though, amigos. First of all, Roulette GURU is an unregistered company that does not denounce this very fact, which is unusual in itself. What we do know about Roulette GURU is that the “registrant contact” with which a whois search provides us is “No. 61 Wanghai Road, Xiamen Software Park xiamen fujian 361008”. The website, however, informs us that the whole “reliable Roulette system” was developed by Sebastian Blitzer and Peter Herlinger. Yes, those are German names, as far as one can tell. The whole origins story is simple: poor students, money was short, “some decent extra bucks” were always appreciated. Fast forwarding to now, “what started as a hobby well over a decade ago, has [...] become a profitable full time occupation”.

What we also know is that the domain has been created just recently, on April 12, 2013, and expires within a year. Also, according to Roulette’s page, the website is also “protected by BlockDOS against DDoS attacks” and secured with the standard, one-year, Comodo-issued PositiveSSL certificate valid since April 26, 2013. If you need more information regarding the company or the program, you should peruse the well-prepared FAQ section which answers pretty much all the questions you may have.

Amigos, now that we’re done with the stone cold facts, let’s divulge into the search for what I love the most, namely the details. To start with, the website is quite user-friendly and provides a potential member with all the necessary information. While it may not the most innovative or graphically sophisticated page, it is not entirely unappealing. As promised in the introduction, the creators have found a rather creative way to combine their idea with some well-known theories and they did it by means of a quote. The choice of the “speaker” speaks volumes not only of the creators, but also of their PR sense.

After all, Stephen Hawking is truly beloved and respected, not to mention, immensely popular right now. However, it would have been nice to, ekhm, wait for it, spell his name correctly, now wouldn’t it?! Dear Roulette GURU, let me assure you that it is, in fact, spelled Stephen Hawking NOT Stephen Hawkins, OK? If you do not trust me, try and google the name.

Still, in today’s world of dyslexia and dys-everything, I normally tend to be rather lenient as far as spelling is concerned, but when you actually quote somebody, it would be really, honestly, totally cool if you could spell his name right. Anyway, at least the quote itself is mostly correct, “"all the evidence shows that God was actually quite a gambler, and the universe is a great casino, where dices (sic!) are thrown and roulette wheels spin on every occasion". Amigos, now, I kind of think that the Roulette GURU guys tried to be overly correct here, since the plural of die is in fact dice, so there’s no need to make it even more plural. But let’s appreciate the effort, right?reliable Roulette system

Euro Star Investment review

Hola mis amigos!

If there’s one thing money-monitor.com, fortunately, stays habitually away from, it really is the politics. Yes, for so many months we have been your oasis of the world of money that are, let’s hope, clean of lobbyists and those honest faced awesome politicians. And despite the name and all the connotations that will probably haunt you soon, I can promise that our non-political policy will prevail, amigos.

Euro Star Investment & Trading Limited is “a private investment group operating in the world securities and financial markets”. According to its “Questions” section, the company was founded in 2006, first “as a small investment group” that was operating “only in the UK stock market” and that has “gradually” expanded to “all major financial markets of the world”. Since that’s not very specific, we can guess that these markets include: the US, Brazil, Russia, Nigeria, Kenya, Pakistan, UAE, Indonesia, Algeria, India, Japan, Philippines, Hungary, Malaysia, Germany. Or at least that’s what one can deduce judging by the well-organized “Representatives” portion of the website. Speaking of the website, EuroStar managed to create a pleasant design, combine it with some well-written and informative content and secure the page with EssentialSSL certificate issued by Comodo.

Betwinn Review

Hola mis amigos!

I’m somewhat sure that you have discovered my secret identity by now. I mean, I can always hope that it takes some time, that I’m really discreet and smart about it, but we all know that these things are bound to happen sooner or later, right?

I usually cover my tracks pretty well, I have years of experience doing that after all, but I guess that you might have picked up on my eccentricities by now and you are, perhaps subconsciously even, aware than I am, well, a geek. Yes, that’s true. The accusations have been flying around for some time, so let’s just be honest about it. I’ve decided to share this revolutionary piece of information with you since what I’m about to write would point you in that direction anyway: when I opened our today’s protagonist’s website for the first time I started missing playing computer games and I was deeply tempted to stop working and just play me some games. There, I said it.

What’s so special about BetWinn365 website? It may not be the most stunning page you have ever seen, but what they actually got right was connecting the visual and verbal. One might think that BetWinn365 decided to go all the way to make sure that, first of all, people will know what they are all about and, secondly, will remember that it’s something about sports, games and risk. Mission accomplished, in my humble opinion, amigos. I mean, when you see a raging bull, a gamepad, and people playing different sports in one place, you think “bookmaking”, isn’t that correct?

Given that BetWinn365 is, in their own words, “an investment fund specializing in sport events through bookmakers which are managed by a talented group of professionals in this field, providing a steady income to all participants”, I’d say: message received. However, as it is usually true in life in general, while the website is visually appealing and memorable, it lacks as far as the content department goes. I like pictures as much as the next person, but some reading materials would be greatly appreciated. Also, it would greatly help the cause of not making people interested in sports and people actually in sports look anti-intellectual. But, just as I was forming a complaint in my mind, I’ve noticed that the gamepad is there for a reason and that all the buttons are actually links to different sections. I know, I know, I may be blind, but I’d still suggest making the text on the buttons bigger. There are more blind people in the world that you’d think, amigos! Also, as I have mentioned before, some of us, a.k.a. me, may just focus on the gamepad itself and forget about the world...

Financial Freedom review

Hola mis amigos,

you might not know this about me, but I love me some alliterations. The reason, besides the symmetry, the rhythm, and such aesthetics, is that my memory is far from perfect and alliteration usually makes a name easier to remember.

If only people were all named in a similar fashion, I wouldn’t offend so many colleagues on a daily basis. That’s why Financial Freedom caught my attention immediately: the name is evocative and informative, it conveys all the right messages and stays in your mind for some considerate amount of time after hearing it. Or is it just me, amigos?

First of all, according to the website, Financial Freedom operates “not only on the forex market, but also on the binary option market, stock market and [...] arbitrage betting”. Moreover, Financial Freedom is “operated by FinDom Capital Inc., a young and dynamic Belize based capital management company, founded in late 2011”. The domain was registered on November 25, 2012 and is valid until November 24, 2017. As far as other website-data are concerned, the website is secured with the standard one-year RapidSSL certificate issued by GeoTrust on March 5, 2013. The hosting is provided by a Florida-based company, LiquidNet, Ltd.

While not trying to be the most innovative page in the world, the website is well-organized and user-friendly, with appealing but simple design and a rather exhaustive FAQ section. To add to this, all the financial-freedom.biz’s content is original and, I might add, well-written. Unfortunately, despite claiming that “transparency is one of the most important factors that make an investment company successful” not much can be found out about the program’s creators despite the fact that they hired “a young and dynamic team, which loves the work it is doing”. What Financial Freedom makes easy to find, however, is “some of its statistics” which are made public. One of FF’s sections is entirely dedicated to “monthly updated statistics about the customer base, the capital and the profits”, which – as Financial Freedom hopes – “might help you to take the right decision for your investment activity”. The currently published information includes the company’s total capital ($1,270,052), the number of investors (163), or the money invested by investors ($3,095).

Malaysian Investment Company review

Hola mis amigos! Timing is an amazing phenomenon. Sometimes life seems full of irony, but there are those precious moments that we may cherish when something happens just when you want it to. Naturally, in my case that would mean some incredible and free holidays, but I didn’t say that life was that good.

However, it seems that I can, at least metaphorically, travel to some warmer climate for work. I sure need it since the winter this spring is quite the thrill... And Malaysia is rather warm this time of year, isn’t it?

A little over six months old, Malaysian Investment Company seems to be doing rather well so far. The program has been on our list for two months and it hasn’t lost its “paying” status yet, so one may venture a statement that, for now, things are going smoothly. Still, as we all know, the online money making world is far from stable so one cannot be too careful when checking a program’s references. That is, if there are any since most administrators love to live in the shadow of the World Wide Web.

Fortunately, Malaysian Inc. is not one of the hiding in the shadows type of programs. At least, not fully. First of all, we get to know Malaysian Inc.’s address which can be found in the “About Us” section:

Malaysia 81900 Kota Tinggi 93 Jalan Delima.

Unfortunately, that is all the details one may find. I realize that in today’s world it’s OK to give only e-mail address (support@malaysian-inc.com, malaysian.inc.com@gmail.com) instead of a phone number, but it’s still nice to know that you may call the person you’re doing business with. I know, I know, I’m old fashioned. Plus, it seems hardly necessary since there is a live chat option available, which has been conveniently divided into “technical” and “customer” support. Still, it would be great to know the people responsible for Malaysian Inc.

What we do know about its creators is that, according to the website, the company was registered in Malaysia five years ago and that the team “consists of experienced and professional traders, market analysts, legal advisers, Internet security experts” with “business lines in [...] core markets of Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand”, which – let’s be frank – is something we’ve heard over and over again. The business model, which is “really simple” to quote Malaysian Inc., heavily relies on trust: “investors entrust us with their funds, we in turn, trade them in a wide variety of investment tools as short-term lending market, trading on a stock exchange, equity trade, trading dividends and note brokering”. That’s all peachy, but wouldn’t you say that the trust should be reciprocated with some cold hard data? I know, I’m a dreamer, amigos.

LatterDay Review

Hola mis amigos!

In recent weeks there have been some controversy regarding my reviews.

I’m not saying that to complain, I actually cherish any controversy, I think that my job would be basically pointless without causing a stir. There’s only one thing I feel that I need to clarify: amigos, when I judge I judge completely. And, yes, I realize that we’re all in the online money making business, but that does not take away from the fact that a program would not be whole without a decent website, interesting logo, well thought out texts, high level of security, etc. Maybe I’m a weirdo, but don’t we live in times when weirdos and freaks are celebrated? Dare to be different, or something, right?

This week’s protagonist, Latter-Day, is no freak and no weirdo. It’s a regular program with a regular website and a rather unusual and interesting offer. Being superficial and all, I’d like to start with the way Latter-Day’s creator present themselves online. Have you heard that thud? That was actually my head hitting the wall, which means that almost nothing can be found about Latter-Day’s background, which is why I’m left wondering whether they are religious, or second, or late, or just truly apocalyptic.

I mean, why “latter”? Are we dealing with Mormons? My favorite to-go move, a whois search, gives me a Kiev, Ukraine, location, and it seems that the hosting is provided by Kiev-based Delta-X Ltd. The “sponsoring registrar” was OnlineNIC, a Chinese “internet services company that provides a suite of complementary and excellent wholesale internet services, including domain name service and other related services”. The domain is a fresh one, it was registered on February 18, 2013 and remains valid for another year. Is there anything personalized about Latter-Day? From L-D’s nice to look at website one learns that its mission is to “become one of the best HYIP”.

Make-Million review

Hola mis amigos!

As we all know, even when it comes to politics certain views and notions may be considered “cool” while others will forever remain in the “lame” category. If one thing’s obvious these days, it’s that being eco-unfriendly may bring some serious damage to your company, your image or even your own fur (no pun intended!).

I have no idea when it happened exactly, but it did and it’s now really cool, or even obvious which is that more surprising, to be pro-eco, eco-friendly, organic, bio or whatever the correct term is today. If you are one of the green people (don’t worry, I’m not insulting you with some alien-analogy), then make-million.com’s website is right up your alley.

First of all, it’s the most green page I’ve ever seen, I think. The main message seems to be that money grow – not on trees, though, but actullly in the grass. First of all, may I ask where one byus such a lawn? Secondly, despite the fact that make-million’s website is rather basic, the colors and the dollars that keep looking at me give it a nice touch. What’s more, while I don’t see how a website can truly be eco-friendly, this one definitely is user-friendly, because finding anything is rather an easy task. To add to this, the page is sufficiently secured with RapidSSL certificate issued on January 12, 2013 by GeoTrust Inc. The easy-to-remember domain was registered last year, on the 6th of August, and expires within two years of that date. It’s unknown what took Make-Million almost half a year to actually launch the program, but – as it is – it has been running little over 40 days. However, when one looks at the chronology of Make-Million, it starts to seem somewhat logical. The company, which deals with gold and stock markets investments, was actually founded on the 20th of October last year.

EliteBank review

Hola mis amigos!

I’m going to start with a semi-philosophical question today: when faced with a choice between new and old, which do you choose more often? I know, I know, it sounds simple and the problem may seem made up at first, but just think about it. Old or new? New or old?

I’m almost sure that after giving it some thought most of you will avoid the question altogether with the “it depends” answer, which gives me even more ammunition and, what’s even more important, some serious validation. Why, you ask? Because you’ve just confirmed that it’s almost a philosophical question, thank you very much.

By now you’ve probably started wondering what this issue has to do with money making programs. Everything, amigos. Does “age” matter when you choose a program? Does the period of time for which a domain, certificate, etc. remain valid matter? Does “older” mean reliable? Does “new” mean more innovative? Think about it as we take a closer look at today’s youngster, EliteBank.

First of all, it seems that EliteBank is as invested in the time issue as I appear to be. EliteBank’s domain was created on February 8, 2013 and EB clearly emphasizes its longevity with the following piece of information: “Domain registration for 3 years”, which can be found on the home page. Clearly, time is important here, amigos. While the creation date could make EB a youngster, or even a toddler,

EliteBank’s team does not really seem to fall into that category since, according to the website, they have “more than 10 years of banking experience”. However, unfortunately no paperwork has been published online, which is always a pity since – let’s be honest – we really appreciate such gestures. Luckily, one can easily find EliteBank’s official address: Calle 9 San José, Costa Rica, thus – according to Terms of service – “EliteBank is regulated according to the legislation of Costa Rica and fully licensed and authorized by all applicable bills and laws”.

Ad Solid Review

Although it may sound crazy, amigos, it seems that online money making programs and websites are just as prone to being fashion victims as regular people.

Have you noticed that? The color schemes, the logos, the way the page is designed, the usage of tutorial videos: it’s usually all the same at the same time. It’s rather easy to decipher the online fashion code but what usually remains unfathomable is the reason why. Maybe, just like regular fashion, online fashion heavily relies on seasons?

For example, the colder it gets the more basic the design remains? Or, the other way round, the warmer it is outside, the more colorful and baroquesque the website becomes? I shall ponder this extremely important issue, but for now let's concentrate on today's protagonist, AD Solid.

First of all, the basics: ad-solid.com is little over a month old, the domain was bought on December 2012 and expires within three years. Unfortunately, that's all the necessary information one may get since the data are secured by Whois Privacy Protection Service, Inc. and the "About Us" section is, well, underdeveloped at best.

To start with, it's rather hard to find it since one has to scroll waaay down to discover the "About the Project" part, a.k.a. About Us. Once there, a potential investor gets all the cliches at once:

"the project AD-Solid.com is created with two goals: the first goal is to enable advertisers to promote their products and services to a clearly defined audience - investors in the Internet. The second goal is to enable investors to participate in profitable medium-term programs and with their investments to help develop the site and increase its audience".

Is everything clear? I thought so. If you're still looking for some hard fact, you may find them -- again -- at the bottom of the page, under "Our Location": "at present our company is in the process of legal registration in the Republic of Panama. Address: Suite 1208-B, 12th Floor Tower, Torre de Las Americas, Punta Pacifica, Panama City, Panama. E-mail: support@ad-solid.com Helpdesk: support.ad-solid.com Tel.: 507.836.6031". Now, that's what I call information.

PennyStake Review

First of all, let me just say that I know that being kind of eclectic and unpolished is a thing right now. Or has been for a while now, whatever.

It’s cool to look unfinished, out of bed and wear polka dots with rhinestones and sneakers as long as you’re doing it ironically. And while I have to admit that I truly, honestly, cannot stand that in life, it’s surprisingly less annoying in the virtual reality. I don’t know why, maybe it’s the LCD that makes everything look more cute than downright irritating.

It just so happens that I have a new opportunity to test my theory since www.pennystake.com somehow leaves one with the impression of being in the middle of the whole “existing online” process. At least that’s what I figured out since there’s not much to work with here, Penny Stake is definitely one of the more private than open websites.

To start with, a whois search does not give you much. WhoIsGuardProtected and all, what we do learn is that the website was created on 20 Jan 2013 and expires within two years from that date. Usually, that’s when one has to resort to the “About Us” page/section, but – to be honest – Penny Stake’s raises more questions than answers. Want a proof?

Penny Stake is “a private investment company that is managed by Richard Brown, a professional binary option trader” that is “not a legal entity” and the creator frankly “does not expect it to be legal, because unfortunately he does not hold any license from the Security Exchange Commission”.

NoBox review

Hola mis amigos!

If you’ve been following our newsletters, you know that we’re always trying to arrange a little get-to-know-one-another, as soon as we introduce a new program into our powerful list. What’s more, you should also be familiar with m-m’s rather enthusiastic “trailer” of a new hybrid, namely NoBox.

Today, I’m going to take a closer look at this supposedly truly innovative investment program that was actually “not launched as an investment program”. Mystery? Let’s dive right into that...

First of all, what you need to know about NoBox is that you can, in fact, know something. Quite a surprise, right? In times when everybody hides behind the Internet mask of anonymity, NoBox creator, Karlo Marek, a blogger from Santiago, Chile, decided to break all the rules and introduce himself to all the potential members:

“I (Karlo Marek) seeking, investing and earning online since early 2003. In the year 2010, I have started a newsletter service, which turned an online blog with its own domain by the end of 2011. Mid of 2012, I discovered the power of Google+ and changed the blog into a circle only information site. Linking to my G+ profile. Later I forwarded the domain investnote.net to a Google+ Business page”.

I know it may seem silly that nowadays we celebrate things that used to be obvious, but dealing with online money making programs, we give credit where credit’s due – and transparency seems to be the first rule most programs throw out a window. Karlo Marek does not only shy away from sharing his name, he also encourages some – some may say – intimate contact with him. Now, get your minds out of the gutter, amigos, what I meant was that it’s easy to contact Karlo who claims that “if you just like to connect or connect with me, feel free to use Google+” to do so. Or use “Telephone or Skype Calls are handy for my inner circle on Google+ [...] I enjoy communication, and this will not change by launching NoBox”.

To add to this, we have this little bit: “I always believed in communications, the ticket system of the script should be used for technical or account related problems. Since the ticket is linked to the users account, it is easier to figure any technical or financial related difficulty on with this communication stream. Yet if, you like to communicate with me feel free to send me an email”. Encouraged?

However, be warned that it’s rather unnecessary to contact Karlo since he gave the readers one of the most exhaustive FAQ section ever. No templates, no substandard information, just simple and informative messages. Want an example? You ask and I provide. Let’s start with the most crucial questions related to security:

“Is my personal information secure?

Absolutely, I have never given any information about my readers out, and there will be no such thing on NoBox. The script is from shadow scripts, what is considered the safest and best script in the MLM/Investment/Hybrid industry”.

How about the script?

Bw-Fund review

Hola mis amigos!

Have you ever wondered how beautiful life would be if everything was actually black and white? How easy investing would be? How straightforward online businesses would appear?

I guess that’s the implication Black & White Fund Ltd. wanted to imprint onto our minds. As far as business ideas go, it’s a good – albeit not all that original – one. Has B&W succeeded? Let’s take it one step at a time.

First of all, a black and white business strategy would involve complete transparency on the company’s side. And what do we know about BW-Fund? To be blunt: not much. A whois search leaves you with nothing but the ubiquitous WhoIsGuard Protected message. The domain was created on the 7th of January 2013 and expires within two years. The “About Us” section doesn’t explain that much either – one gets the basic “private investment group operating in the world securities and financial markets” info, which seems to appear on each and every Forex-related website. The details aren’t that, let’s say, specific as one may have wanted:

“Black & White Fund Ltd. started offline operations in 2010 but website went online in just now in Jan-2013”.

What has BW-Fund been doing since 2010 exactly? “Having started as a small investment group operating only on the UK stock market, we have gradually expanded our investment activities on all major financial markets of the world” while still dealing with “Forex & commodities markets” “all over the globe”. The company’s mission seems to be enclosed in the following slogan, “It's Never Too Late to Make Money” which, again, does not reveal much, although it seems to be inspired by nursing homes’ mottoes. The promise that BW-Fund “will earn profits from world's biggest market worth 4 trillion dollar with our professional experience and as we will earn, definitely you will earn being our partner” doesn’t sound plausible either, especially thanks to the “4 trillion dollar” line, which makes BW-Fund look – sorry to say that – quite anti-business-y, if you will. To sum up: transparency? Not so much.

Stabilico Review

Hola mis amigos!

As you probably know by now, I tend to get picky, especially when it comes to things like the generally understood aesthetics, being sufficiently prepared or, let’s face it, choosing a good name.

I realize that it doesn’t sound all that important, but in my humble opinion a relatable, not-too-out-there and yet easy to remember name is the key to success. What we usually get in this business, however, are names related to making money, earning money or being – for want of a better word – awesome. That is why I really appreciate Stabilico’s name, which – might I add – I managed to memorize the second I heard it. What the name implies is that Stabilico’s strongest suite is that it’s reliable and rarely changes, a connotation that should be well-received amongst potential investors. Does it live up to the name?

First of all, one should point out that www.stabilico.com is actually rather nice to look at, although someone may have overdosed when applying the yellow additions, not to mention correctly secured (GeoTrust certificate valid from 10/2/2012 to 10/4/2016). However, despite its looks it’s not that easy to navigate and, for instance, the investment plans are not as straightforward as it may seem. To start with, in theory three languages are available – English, German and Spanish – but the Spanish version is not finished. Moreover, Stabilico makes it easy to choose an investment option, but when you start thinking about the real implications it may turn out that, for example, you don’t really know what options you had time-wise. While the investment calculator should make it easier for you, it in fact makes it impossible to choose since the slider is not easy to manipulate (it tends to skip certain values) – thankfully its creator did think of a place where you can simply write the number you are looking for.

GoldOfDubai review

Hola mis amigos!

I don’t know if it’s the passing of the time, is it a New Year’s thing, or am I simply getting older (and wiser, naturally, amigos), but I find myself more and more pugnacious. An example, you ask? The more people try to sell me an idea, the less I actually believe in it. Plus, I tend to get extremely annoyed that somebody is so perversely determined to try to convince me. What am I getting at, amigos?

Those omnipresent advertisements that – when you stop to think – are pure truism, nothing more. “Touch of luxury”, “free bonuses”, package deals that basically include all the things you wouldn’t bring back home anyway. You know the type. That’s why I cannot react in any other way than laugh when I see the following enticement: “Account Registration For Free”. Really? Are you as kind as to let me invest my money without paying for signing up? Oh, thank you, kind sirs for allowing me the honor of entrusting my money with you without any registration fee, which is what I get 99% of the time. Honestly, it makes the program look as if there were no other advantages to advertise...

The “kind sirs” that I’m referring to are Gold of Dubai’s creators and, unfortunately, I don’t know much else about them since – despite invoking “transparent business scheme” – virtually nothing can be found about GoD’s background. Besides them trying to be the door to “ Your Personal Financial Freedom” (again, love the ad) and that “GoD is handling thousands of golden deals every day and [...] collecting even more investments for our trading activity” I can’t tell you much about Gold of Dubai.

EPIC Royal review

To begin with, let me just say that I have nothing against cliques, closed groups and invitation-only parties. Truly. I actually enjoy them whether I am a part of them or not, I swear. I’m all for separating yourselves from other people – as you may guess I’m not a party animal anyway and I’m not much of a people person either.

Besides, I believe that we all live in different groups whether we want to or not, whether we believe that everybody is great and perfect and pink unicorns are an intrinsic part of our lives or we avoid any human contact because it may be contagious. Let’s face it: each of us belongs to some groups and none of us belongs to all of them. That’s just a social fact, amigos, don’t get all upset with me. What I don’t get, however, is creating an online money making service and separating it into two different parts: “Private Website” (you need a "sponsor/guarantor" to enter this one) and “Members Sign-In” (you need to enter “a VALID and REGISTERED email address” here). It’s not that I don’t enjoy the idea, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that its follow-up is, how should I put this without being rude, flawed. Or faulty. Whichever you prefer, EpicRoyal.

When you create two different version of a website there are a couple of things you should consider first. For starters, make sure that the sections do not exclude each other out or are not repetitive. Believe it or not, to enter either of those sub-websites, you need to be “invited”. Moreover, you can access the “Members Sign-In” section from the “Private Website” section, so why bother? To add to this, none of the sub-websites work correctly, that is in a timely manner. It takes up to three minutes (!) to enter either of the pages, which is far too long in today’s world. A movie can be loaded quicker, amigos. What’s more, I don’t care how pretty a website is, it cannot take me 10 minutes to scan through all its sections. Not to mention the fact that it takes a whole lot more to load the implemented PDF documents and you’ll be lucky if you can do it on the first take since the page crashed 4 times before I managed to upload the document. I truly try to be objective, amigos, but someone is just trying to irritate me, I guess.

Stravia review

You know a company is pulling all the stops when they evoke same of the most famous pop culture references. Usually, it’s a big win – it’s a huge success when you no longer remember what was actually first: the reference or the company?

I mean, I know Santa has been around for some time, but when I was a kid I literally thought that he was the chairman of Coca Cola. You get the gist. Today’s protagonist, Stravia, has gone for one of the greats – Superman. With the image of a Clark Kent lookalike and the “Let us power up your investment” motto, Stravia Biz Inc. is clearly trying to boost our confidence in their services. Should we do that? Let’s take a closer look.

First of all, Stravia Biz Inc. is a Forex market oriented Panamanian company that is 2 years old and can pride itself in a pretty decently designed website. As it’s usually the case, Panama – a tax haven – is just a location, since the IP leaves one with a US address and according to the “About us” section Stravia is “active in the London and NY sessions”. Although the company reportedly was founded in 2012, the domain, stravia.biz, was registered on November 30, 2012, so one may conclude that Stravia has just begun its online journey. Perhaps that is due to the fact that Stravia’s investments “have performed incredibly well over the last 2 years, with 2012 being the most successful year so far” and the company “[has] seen rapid growth since September this year”.

What should be pointed out is that despite the freshness of the site, it is sufficiently protected against DDoS attacks (Black Lotus Communications) and has a correctly implemented Rapid SSL Certificate (GeoTrust, Inc.) that should last at least two years (bought on 12/8/2012, expires on 12/13/2014). Let’s appreciate that since some older programs still have major issues when it comes to their websites’ security. Not to mention the fact that most pages struggle with the right color schemes (Stravia’s may not be the most original or appealing one, but at least it’s consistent), good organization (we have all the crucial sections here: “About Us”, Calculator”, “Get Started”, “FAQ”, and so on) or explaining the plans exhaustively. However, one could only hope for some better “Contact” part of the website since, for now, not only is it hard to find, but one may also feel disappointed with the scarcity of options, namely a generic contact form. You can also call Stravia’s UK or US office (US: +1 302 261 9579, UK: +44 20 3286 8879), but we all know it’s rather pricey.

SureInv review

Hola mis amigos!

I find it to be a challenge to review programs that have just started their online life.

Don’t get me wrong, judging people (and pages) by the first impression is always a fun job, but when you try – as I always do – to be really objective and thorough, it actually gets pretty hard.

There are so many things that one cannot foresee and I was never one to bet on the unknown.

Or read tea leaves. However, there have been times when my first instinct was right on the money, so let’s try and dissect another newcomer, Sureinv.

According to the “What We Do” section, Sureinv gives one “the possibility to invest in a high yield market without your capital being tied-up for a longer period of time”. In those simple, although a little overused, words one may find the basic philosophy of Sureinv. Oh, sorry, I meant to write “philosophie”. That’s right, amigos, we’re getting pretentious. For some unfathomable reasons, Sureinv decided to share with the readers their business’ “philosophie” in a French/German manner. In fact, I tried to investigate Sureinv’s national identity and despite the fact that they seem to be all about “transparency", but I wasn’t exactly successful.

A whois search gives us the California location, but we all know that it doesn’t mean much. Nothing is said about the creators of the service, no paper trail can be found other than the fact that the company is reportedly registered in Panama (according to Facebook, the well-organized FAQ and the following piece of information: “Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of Panama and you hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Panamanian courts”). Maybe by transparency they mean the ever-present fashion trend of making one’s underwear visible? If so, I’d really love visiting their offices... Because the following lovely bit of information sure is not a manifestation of “transparency” policy, “just like any reliable company on the market, we sincerely believe that the strongest business is built on mutual trust.

However, the nature of our business requires us to be extremely careful when sharing sensitive information about our operations. We stick to the rule that complete statistics, operations and other figures can be disclosed only to clients who have already been with us for some time. We thank you for your patience and understanding regarding this issue”. Patience and understanding? When it’s about investing one’s money? Good luck with that.

Pro Forex Union Review

If you are one of those who are truly and deeply sick of hearing about the US elections, I don’t know how you are going to react to Pro Forex Union’s website.

It’s not that it’s about the politics, it’s all about the color scheme, I’m afraid. But there’s hope even for the election-tired ones: if you pay attention, the red turns to pink. And pink is never election-related, right? At least until the day My Little Pony goes for the presidential office. And, for all our sakes, let’s hope this day will never come...

Pro Forex Union is not one of those programs that make it impossible for you to know what they actually do – it’s all in the name, amigos. To be exact,

“ECN is a broker Professional Forex Union company rendering services of online-trading and working with assets based on confidential trust in order to receive maximum profit during Forex trading through Proforexunion.com site”.

We get to know even more about ECN or PFU, namely how many people they employ (“more than 150 highly qualified financial consultants and analysts”), how long they are in business (“Professional Forex Union Company was founded in February 2011”), where they come from (PFU emerged “through reorganization and merger of 6 international companies, including the insurance companies «Insurance Finance», «Forex Union Trading Co», the Financial Group «Societe Generale» and «Union Bank of Switzerland»”), how much experience the workers have when in comes to the Forex business (“more than 8-10 years”), as well as the data which are usually the hardest to come by – the numbers (according to last year’s financial report, “the average profit of the Professional Forex Union Company clients is 78%” of “monthly increase in assets turnover in a fiduciary managements”).

I know, I know, amigos – a lot of sophisticated language and some scientific-sounding terms, but hey, at least we get some actual information about the company, not only the fact that they are “great”, “experienced”, “dedicated”, and all the other cliches we usually learn. However, as well all know, appearing legitimate and actually being legitimate are completely different things: just ask any illegitimate son of a king and you’ll know what I’m talking about... How do we know if PFU is legit? It’s the Internet, amigos, so it’s hard to discern, but Pro Forex Union published a bunch of different certificates, so you can judge on you own (https://proforexunion.com/certificates.php).

NUBCOYU Review

I’m a sucker for changes, I must admit. Lately it seemed that every program I encountered was asking me for my money without giving anything in return. Don’t you worry, amigos, I’m not crazy – I don’t mean presents or fame or a better longevity, just some basic information.

Don’t you feel like more and more programs and companies want you to invest your money “just because”?

As if we didn’t need all the information we can get about their background, methods and – that’s just a crazy idea! – identities. Because what you really don’t want to know is the name of the person you give your money to, right? I’d say that most program creators have watched The Godfather way too many times... Trust for the sake of trust works in the movies, guys. Real world works on full name basis and background checks. Or at least it used to, I guess.

While the name itself is more than confusing, NUBCOYU is on the “more transparent” side when it comes to the “revealing information” policy. Despite the level of difficulty when it comes to spelling, much less pronouncing, the name of the company, it’s “About Us” section is rather inspiring. Why, you ask? Because, first of all, it has more than three sentences about how great, amazing and competent “experts” they are. For one thing, we get to understand the reasons for the unpronounceable name: Nubcoyu is the team leader/creator of the company, which “consists of 5 people”.

For a HYIP, it’s a rarity to actually find out SOMETHING about the inner workings of the program. What does NUBCOYU do?

“They aim to invest and expand their mutual funds using low to high risk levels markets”, which basically means that they also invest in “restaurants, guest houses and other low yield assets” as well as in “other online opportunities, such as HYIPs, matrixes, MLMs, cyclers, etc.” but only in programs “at the pre-launch stage” and based on “information from the inner circle”, which sounds a bit like industrial espionage, doesn’t it? In addition to this, NUBCOYU is interested in “Forex Trading, bonding, sport arbitrages and all other fluctuating markets all over the world” and “covers markets in affiliate marketing and e-commerce” that is they “create websites that sell products for famous and trusted providers such as Amazon, MarketHealth and LeadAgree”. Regrettably, there is no more information regarding the big players as NUBCOYU only “plans to showcase their websites soon so that wouldn't be a long wait”, which may actually mean anything, let’s not kid ourselves... I said that they are articulate, but I sure didn’t promise them being explicit.

Caspian Capital LLC review

Have you ever had one of these days, when everything you do seems pointless? Like, for instance, you have said something so many times that you somehow felt that it should make a difference? Leave some kind of sign, mark, whatever?

casAnd then, suddenly, it hits you: no matter how many times you may do it/say it/see it, nothing is ever going to change?

I swear, I’m not going postal or anything, it’s just... Does the whole wide world hire the same copywriter for everything?! I mean, come on, guys – there has to be some other way to advertise your businesses besides evoking the all-so-used “dream” reference! There has to be, right..?

Caspian Capital unknowingly, I hope, stepped on my toes with the “All You Need Is Money and a Dream” motto. Just the other week, I got into a teeny tiny rage about mottoes and the way they make my soul bleed, and now this... I realize that it’s not a big sin, in the great scheme of things, but anybody can come up with something better than this, can’t they? It’s like a Beatles song that has been beaten like a dead horse by so many people and companies that one could never count. Also, is it even logical? I mean, how much are we talking about? If I already have the “Money and a Dream”, theoretically speaking I should not need much more. But I understand that logic is not the biggest part of motto-creation.

Moving on... Caspian Capital LLC. is in the oil business, which seems fun enough. According to the website, the company is registered in the US as a Limited Liability Company (745 Fifth Avenue 27th Floor New York, New York 10151). The explanation for the name of the company is rather clear: it invests in oil, “specially in the Caspian Region”, but maybe they are also Narnia fans, who knows? And since I have always been one, I choose to believe that they are. Because of my Narnia-faith and since I have already ranted about the choice of motto, I will go easy on CC’s clip-art inspired sad website and I will try to concentrate on what’s truly important. Let’s start with what Caspian Capital itself calls the reason to invest the money with them:

“1.The Oil Industry is very strong 2. Tax advantages due to Government's needs 3. Oil Industry is less influenced by fluctuations in the stock market 4. Quick returns which are always very high 5. Oil Industry is VERY PROFITABLE industry”.

Strong Investment review

OK, first of all let’s just agree on something, amigos: first impression is crucial. I know it’s a cliche and that we all know it, but let’s TRULY know it, acknowledge it, live by this very simple rule.

You must have read tons of articles about how the first impression matters when you apply for a job, or go on a date, or even to the dentist. So imagine my frustration when I started writing this review and the website of the program I was to write about suddenly disappeared.

What my first impression should be? I’m so confused now. On one hand, it shouldn’t be too good since a not working page rarely does boost one’s confidence in what they sell. But on the other hand, who here never had similar problems with any of their favorite pages. I mean even gossip columns sometimes just don’t load, right?

My frustration is doubled by the fact that the program apparently tried to ALWAYS make a good first impression: why else would they name it Strong Investment?

You hear the name and immediately you feel more confident about their work, right? Or do you get more suspicious, amigos? Like “Why are they claiming to be strong? What’s wrong with them? Maybe it’s actually a sick joke? Or some twisted metaphor for weakness?”. But, let’s face it, if your mind works in this particular way it would be best if you were transferred into a nice, cozy and safe padded white room with no knobs. Admit it.

I had to wait a while, but when Storng Investment’s page came back on, it was really on. I’ll be straightforward: I like the website. It’s clean and simple, a little Facebook-y, but that seems to be the hottest trend now. It’s easy to navigate and the F.A.Q. section is a true blessing. It takes my mind off things like... The terrible “mottoes”! “There’s never a bad time to make a good investment” – really? How about when I’m in the shower singing “Crazy in Love”? Does it really sound like a good time to make an investment? Or when I suffer from some soul sucking disease? Or, yes, I will go there – if I’m somewhat occupied, take it as you may? The “Make your dream come true” is one of the least original things ever, but at least it’s not as annoying as the assumption that Strong Investment knows something about me that even I don’t know. Like, you know, the fact that I enjoy making investments in the middle of vacuum cleaning.

Let’s move forward amigos, because we have so much ground to cover and by that I mean Strong Investment’s plans. It may get tricky, amigos. You might want to involve your thinking cap, if you happen to have one: there are six investment ranges to choose from (beginning with $10 - $100 and going as high as +$10,001) and four different options when it comes to the investment period (from the 60 days plan to the ambiguous “long-term”, about which one can read that no “specific period on Long-Term plan” has been assigned so that “your investment will be active as long as you decide to release the deposit”). The profits vary between 1.1% and 5% daily and the compounding option is always available. Strong Investment really seems to be all about free will (e.g. you can create multiple accounts and you family members can create accounts from same computer and IP address” – all you have to do is “provide separate account number and contact email for each account”).s wrong with them? Maybe it

StallionGold Review

Hola mis amigos!

People would go to extreme lengths just to be original. Yes, that’s not an original thought, but if the hipster movement has taught me anything it’s that even attempting originality might be a “thing”.

Despite what you may think right now, I’m not going to write about the scarves and oh-so-too-tight jeans, but – as usual – about yet another addition to the list of Internet money making programs. And the reason I began my review in the manner I did is because I firmly believe that sometimes the simple way is the best way. And that really applies to company names.

Our today’s protagonist is a gold “adult male horse that has not been castrated especially one kept for breeding” LTD. It’s not a joke, mis amigos, that’s the name of the program. OK, I’m exaggerating a bit: it’s actually StallionGold LTD, but you get my point. In the FAQ section of StallionGold’s website, one may read that the reasoning behind the name was a “natural analogy” that would “reflect the essence of our venture in its name”. The “stallion” part was supposed to mean that the “company as a whole, [the] trading strategies, the business relations and [the] forward looking business plan are naturally powerful and perhaps even ingenious” and that’s how the creators of StallionGold came up with the image of a not-yet-castrated male horse. I guess some feminists would call that sexists, some guys would shudder at the thought of castration, and some western lovers would immediately think of wild stallion roaming the hills. Or, just like StallionGold’s creators, would think about the “beauty, speed, responsibilities within the herd, some socially responsible aggressiveness”. I’m thinking about the smell of the stables. But that’s just me, amigos.

Although it may seem that StallionGold is an insatiable beast with no known address, StallionGold LTD. is actually registered in Dominica. The company went online just a couple of months ago, but supposedly they have already been around for 5 years. One cannot find out much about the domain itself since it’s “WhoIsGuardProtected”, but what is known is that it was created on the 17th of July 2009 and expires on the 17th of July 2017, which should give the stallion a lot of time to be as “naturally powerful” as he pleases.

The company’s motto, “Making the prosperity possible”, sounds promising so I think it’s time to check what they mean by that. Naturally first you need to sign up (there is one account per person) and that shouldn’t take long: all they want from you is to choose a username, password, and a PIN code. Once you’re in you can fund your account, which by default is in US dollars, using either Liberty Reserve, Perfect Money or EgoPay. The minimum to invest is $1 and there’s “practically no maximum”.

Intra Funds Review

Hola mis amigos!

Imagine you came by a page that says that its creators “specialize in helping people improve their lives”. What would be your first thought? Mine was something like, “oh, an interesting charity program” and “are they some kind of volunteer personal coaches”?

Provided that you read this review on money-monitor.com, it won’t shock you that it’s in fact a text I read on a HYIP program’s site, namely Intra Funds. I will never understand the need the HYIP creators have to prove everybody that it’s all about helping other people and being an altruist. I mean, do stock brokers or investment bankers make such claims? I don’t know any of them personally, but I’ve seen American Psycho and I don’t think charity played an important part in that movie. Neither believing that “if you help as many people as you can get what they want, you will get what you want” did. But maybe I remember the movie wrong, what do I know...

Besides the lofty aspirations, Intra Fund is a rather original HYIP. That’s mostly due to the fact that for once one can add an actual name to a program and the name is Jacob Uvarov. Not much can be found on the owner of Intra Fund, but perhaps it’s a good thing – not being into the whole social media movement makes him even more original these days.

Intra Fund is a well-prepared program with a decent website and an worthwhile affiliate program. Let’s start with the referrals since it’s usually the most dull part of any online investment program, so you’re in for a (money) treat. Intra Funds gives “up to a 8% commission” for those who “[o]ffer our products on your websites and/or newsletters”. You don’t need to do much, they “supply all the tools you need as an Intra Funds Affiliate and handle all the fulfillment details, such as order processing, product shipments, billing, and your compensation”. According to Intra Funds, “[a]ll you have to do is talk to your customers and make money”. Naturally, there is a little catch, in order to get that 8% you have to refer “28 and more” active members. One to nine members “cost” 5%, ten to eighteen 6%, nineteen to twenty-seven 7%. The good thing is that you can “[t]ake advantage of our long cookie duration” and “[i]f a customer comes from your referral link, and then comes back to purchase four months later, you still get the credit”.

Prospera Nova review

Hola mis amigos!

In this day and age it may seem sometimes that people would do literally anything to be original, don’t you think?

It’s like nobody can give a straight answer to a question no more. What do I mean, amigos?

Let’s say you want to ask somebody about their hobbies. In the old days, people would typically tell you that they like reading, dancing or watching movies. Now, you will often hear words that aren’t words and names that sound made up. If you’re not into night-skating, molecular cuisine or some indie band called I Sniff Glue, you’re nobody. Really, amigos. That’s why more and more often I find simplicity relaxing and soothing. And that’s why I get really annoyed with making something more sophisticated than it should be.

Now, let’s talk new programs. As you know, most programs tend to advertise themselves as “professional”, “inspiring” and what-not. Prospera Nova went for the American dream metaphor,

“Dream it! Achieve it!”.

If only... First of all, if any of you ever read The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, you probably remember that having your dreams come true can mean being stuck on a dark island in the middle of nowhere, where all your nightmares keep on happening over and over. Secondly, however good a money-making program may be, it still won’t make me a Pulitzer winner, or an Oscar recipient, right? But let’s get to the good part: simplicity. That’s the area in which Prospera Nova truly excels.

Despite the fact that their logo is somewhat creepy – a huge sad eye with freakishly long eyelashes – their plan should not scare you. It’s simple: you get a 2% daily profit from Monday to Friday, and you will be getting it for 365 days. What you need to do first is set up an account, which won’t take more than a few minutes since you won’t even have to give them information regarding your source of income. It’s as simple as it gets: you don’t even need to reveal your surname, Prospera Nova wants to be on a first name basis with you. Naturally, there is at least one ridiculous “Secret Question” on the list, namely “What was your first phone number”, but maybe you’re one of those numbers freaks who always remember everything. In that case, congratulations, amigo. When setting up an account, you need to give them “Financial Information”, which means listing the payment processors that you use: Liberty Reserve, Perfect Money, SolidTrustPay or EgoPay. Then you deposit at least $1 or as much as... Well, you name it, since “Dream it! Achieve it!” is Prospera Nova’s motto, you can give them as much money as you dream.

TheMoneyGalaxy review

Hola mis amigos!

Remember Star Trek and that whole “final frontier” idea? Did you ever think that someone would apply the same metaphor to an online investment company? Would you ever expect to read “We know how to dominate the skies” in other context that, for instance, on an airplane company’s website?

And how do you feel about the idea of “[living] your life on auto pilot”? I know that it’s supposed to mean “[stitting] back and [relaxing]” but somehow it may also mean being a lifeless puppet that’s incapable of deciding for her/himself. I know, I know, I am not the most glass-is-half-full kind of person...

The inspirational quotes above come from a new website, https://themoneygalaxy.com, home of The Money Galaxy Inc., “a private investment firm legally registered in Delaware”. As you should probably deduce by now, the sky and space references are a part of the whole The Money Galaxy brand. I hope you deduced that, otherwise I’m just worried. About mankind in general, amigos.

The Money Galaxy has been around for some time: the domain was registered on the 28th of June 2011, and the company was officially registered on the 28th of November 2008. What The Money Galaxy aims at is “to get as much earning from Forex, Stock Market and other markets as possible”. So, amigos, sky is literally the limit, it seems. I should probably warn you: there are many space-related references ahead... According to the website, the Delaware-based The Money Galaxy Inc. “invests in all types of financial products, such as bonds, equities, money market instrument and many other investment funds”. The “Masterpiece Financial Strategy” that makes one of the headlines on the page is basically “conserving capital, spreading risk, regular investment and balance portfolio”, the last one meaning that they “make you invest in all types of financial products”. I enjoy diversity as much as the next person, but what I am not a fan of is “making me” do anything. But that’s me, I’m paranoid, obviously.

While it may seem that The Money Galaxy has stepped on my toes somehow, in fact I really, really... Loved https://themoneygalaxy.com. And you know how hard it is for me to say that. But, if you read any of my previous reviews, you know that I often complain about companies’ lack of transparency, security, general know-how, poor support system and the apparent lack of taste. Here’s what The Money Galaxy has to offer: an extremely well-thought through page with all the right sections. It’s one of those rare cases where you don’t have to hire a PI to learn who they are. There even is a link to Delaware’s official website where you can look up the Money Galaxy https://delecorp.delaware.gov/tin/GINameSearch.jsp. You can learn their full address, how long they have been in business and they even understand that we live in the age of pictures, so you have the photos of Delaware on the website just to make the company seem more real.

We can’t learn the names of people behind the Money Galaxy, but that, unfortunately, seems to be the official policy of online money-making businesses. However, The Money Galaxy does not shy away from someday meeting you face to face: according to the comprehensive FAQ section “in the next couple of months [they] are going to open several offices in North America, Europe and Southeast Asia”, so maybe then The Money Galaxy will become even more open to clients.

JustBeenPaid review - 3 May 2012 - www.justbeenpaid.com

Hola mis amigos!

Imagine that you are confined to an island. It doesn't have to be some elaborate fantasy, just put yourself on an island. And now add three things to the scenario: a wallet, a Dr. Phil impersonator and R.W. Emerson's essays.

How does it feel? Does it feel right? If it gives you the creeps, remove yourself from this very page immediately. Otherwise, keep on reading.

If you are interested in making money online at all, you must have heard about JustBeenPaid by now. If you are interested in making money online and you haven't heard about JustBeenPaid, keep on imagining islands and that would probably be it for you, you dreamer. It's like loving Shakespeare and not knowing who Juliet was. OK, maybe I'm exaggerating just a bit. Not knowing who, let's say, Puck was. I might be just a bit irritated today, because it just so happens that I truly wish I was on an island and instead I'm... What's the word? Not.

In case you're the dreaming type, here's what you need to know about JustBeenPaid. First of all, it was created by Frederick Mann (interviewed here), who managed to become some kind of an Internet legend, claiming to earn an online only income since 1997. He has been involved in numerous projects aimed at making money online as the Owner, Developer and Admin of the Just Been Paid (JBP) System which includes JSS-Tripler, JBP’s Synergy Surf (JSS), JSS-Booster and JSS-Warp; he's also the owner of BigBooster7Million, MegaBooster, and MonsterPreLaunch. He used to be a professional gambler, but I guess he was not an extra on Ocean's Eleven, Twelve or Thirteen, so don't get too excited. The problem is, however, that when it comes to Mann it's really hard to decipher the legend from the real person. All the interviews and information available online, paint a picture of an anti-establishment hero and a clever businessman at once.

Frederick Mann seems to manage a huge company but, at the same time, it all seems really vague, and his body of work, which includes two books The Economic Rape of America and Wake Up America! The Dynamics of Human Power, makes it even harder to see him as an online money maker only. To add to this, we read that he "has a background as a computer programmer and a systems analyst" (http://bigbooster.com/business_opportunities/business_plans.html), but his own website is constructed rather poorly and even its HTML code leaves a lot to be desired (with "30 Errors, 33 warnings" according to http://validator.w3.org). I especially enjoy the fact that the layout of the page is sometimes set by using the spacebar key (non-breaking spaces) instead of simply setting the margins. True story, amigos. So, what it comes down to is that it's one of those personas that you just have to decide on your own whether to believe it or not. Or, alternatively, you may simply don't care about the man behind the curtains and just want to buy or sell the curtains for a good amount of money. Your choice.

Secondly, there is the program (don't worry, I promise not to mention Keanu Reeves this time. Or ever again), or actually, the programs: JSS-Tripler (the most important and the most popular one), JSS Synergy Surf, JSS Booster and JSS Warp. I know, I know, it does sound like diet plan options with different shakes, cocktails and pills that are supposed to help you lose weight, but believe me, it's not a diet plan, you body-obsessed maniacs. For now let's not worry about JSS Booster and JSS Warp since you need an upgrade to use them. Let's focus on the basics, namely a traffic exchange program, JSS-Tripler with its 2% daily profit which you can gain by buying $10 worth positions that lose their "eligibility" once they "earn" us $15, that is after 75 days. Oh, I forgot to mention the fact that it's all about the matrix (again, forget about Neo and focus on the money, amigos), so be sure to refresh your knowledge of math and stuff like that.

Now, back to the JSS-Tripler - I have to make a formal note. The above mentioned conditions are, in fact, no longer applicable. Because JustBeenPaid was getting less money during the weekends than on working days, they changed the system and now you can earn 2% Mon-Fri and 1.5% on weekends. The main thing is that you won't earn less, but it will just take you longer to get the same amount of money: 81 instead of 75 days. Naturally, you can withdraw your earned money any time you want, provided you have at least $20. You can also reinvest your earnings or, as some call it, compound them manually. After the "expiration date", every 4 positions are transformed into 1 position in the JSS matrix and, as such, start again. Once this matrix is filled, and you have upgraded your account (which costs $15 for a three-month period), you get an extra $60. How to strategize, you ask me? There are basically two ways to do it and they both sound somewhat provocatively: you can be passive about it or use the 50 positions strategy.

If you enjoy the, shall we say, passive ways, you may invest some money (minimum $30) and withdraw them, first as soon as you earn $20, and then when the mandatory 75 days-period passes. If you like different positions (clean up your dirty minds, amigos!), one way to get what you want (I implore you, amigos, stop that dirty thoughts!) is to invest at least $500, so that you'll get 50 active positions from the very start. Once you have the earnings you desire, you do the following: buy one position and withdraw the money only when the excess balance is more than $20. As you can calculate for yourself, you should get all your money back after 75 days. For more, just take a look below:

NewGNI review - 21 April 2012 - www.newgni.net

Hola mis amigos!

Do you know what everybody loves? Absolutely everybody? Or at least that's what the show business is trying to prove for so many years. I'm going to let you in on a little secret:

everybody loves a good comeback story.

You know how people were waiting for Elvis to sing again (and some of them still are, I'm afraid)? How, despite the fact that she was no genius to begin with, everybody was rooting for Britney to clean up and look hot again (let's be honest, who cares about her songs)? How we are still waiting for a good Nicholas Cage movie (and aliens to take over the Earth, not sure which will come first)? I'm telling you, people love rooting for the underdog, for those who failed the first time around, for people who used to have it good so maybe they'll have it good again. This is such a story, mis amigos.

When we were all young and beautiful there used to be a website called goldnuggetinvest.com, aka GNI. They managed to establish themselves as one of the most successful services of the time. And then... Many things went wrong at the same time and it all fell down (Britney and KFed, anyone?). Some put blame on the weakness of the cooperating bank or the collapse of Strict Pay payment system, others say that the main issue was the abuse of the referral system. There are also voices that the program was nothing more than a fraud and the owners simply wanted to make as much money as possible and run, or rather, close down.

The rest is up to you, amigos. Think about the comeback stories and decide for yourselves. We'll probably never know the whole truth unless some of you know Scully and Mulder personally - if so, let us know. What's important, however, is that the creators of NewGNI don't deny their past and that they are honest about what happened. Kudos for that; they were not the first, nor will they be the last to experience failure. Stuff happens, wise people move on. And move on they did.

NewGNI – I won't insult your intelligence by explaining the name – deals with sports arbitraging, namely surebets. Since, as I have admitted it already at least once, I know nothing (literally NOTHING) about sports, I tend to feel uneasy even when I see a picture of a green field and a ball, or half-naked men catching/throwing something that resembles a ball, or basically any people that sweat profusely. My weirdness should not shock you by now, so get over it. I'm simply explaining why I've encountered some, ekhm, problems when browsing through newgni.net.

The images found there managed to deeply disturb me. Naked sweating men aside, the website is rather... What's the phrase... Visually challenged. I mean we've all seen worse, but this one is pretty ugly. I'm sorry, I mean "beautiful in its own way," or some other politically correct term (I mean, what is up with the weird little bunny looking at me from the upper right corner of the page? I'm afraid. Do I see dead rabbits?). However, I like the handy toolbar that you can find at the bottom of the page: a small, but a useful thing that shows their care for the reader. What's actually more important, the usability level is awesome (thank you Shadow Scripts, I guess). Everything is simple, self-explanatory and intuitive, which are the three most crucial qualities a website can have.

What's more, I enjoyed reading all the texts in all the sections and I must say, they are even funny sometimes. The extremely well-prepared FAQ section is the winner in that particular category. In need of a proof? Here you are: the answer to the almost philosophical question "who are you" goes as follows,

"[w]e are a group of people, like "you and me" [...]". "We are the world, we are the people,"

anyone? Here's a better one:

"GNi is our acronym of Genius [...]: [...] something or someone embodying exceptional intellectual ability, creativity, or originality, typically to a degree that is associated with the achievement of unprecedented insight".

Phew! Glad they cleared up that one! And the absolute winner is the answer to the question whether surebets are risk free,

"[f]irst of all, nothing in life is risk free: [n]uclear war can start tomorrow and the most certain of certainties will be stopped from happening"

35three review - 16 April 2012 - www.35three.com

I realize it's spring already and you're probably thinking about picnics and going away with your loved ones or, alternatively, changing the drapes in your small basement window so that the sun doesn't get on your computer screen.

Either way, I know it's hard to concentrate. And today I'm going to throw lots of numbers around. I'm even going to begin with a set of numbers: 35three. Sounds confusing, now doesn't it?

Is is three, five, three? Or thirty-five and three? Or three thousand, five hundred and three? I know, I know, your heads are spinning. To add to this confusion, imagine it's all legendary or, alternatively again, not-that-humble. Confused yet?

OK, to clarify things just a bit: 35three.com is an autosurf/PTC site that's been around for almost four months (creation date: 19/01/12, expiration date: 19/01/13, online since 07/02/12). Four months is enough to feel rather confident about the way they work but – at the same time – should not be long enough to write this line:

"[o]ur 35% per 3 day plan gives us our legendary name, 35Three"

Really? Legendary? Are there any dragons there? Or princesses? Or at least a dozen of really small guys with beards? I don't think so. OK, but legends aside, at last the confusing name is not that mind-joggling anymore. The numbers in their name suggest the way you can earn money. And, immediately, I start paying attention, which can – literally – pay off.

Before I get into the details, let's spend some time on their website per se. It's simple, the colors are alright, the fonts "fade" too much for my taste, but – as I have proven many times – I'm blind and the window in my basement is really, really small. Actually, the only thing that bothers me is the lack of "about us" section. Instead, I get to read the "introduction" into the whole autosurf/PTC business, which is not the same thing. But, then again, maybe I'm too picky. In general, I enjoy to read the "about us" section (sadly, there appear to be less and less of them): to me it's a thing of courtesy – before digging through somebody's insides you should be properly introduced. Yes, I know, I'm old-fashioned, any other sane human being probably doesn't mind it as much.

What I like about 35three.com is that after reading through the whole thing you aren't left with many questions. Naturally, it bothers me a bit because I didn't have any reason to harass their support team, which is one of the few joys of my life. On the other hand, it's a good thing and a kind of rarity in the business. What you have to do in order to earn with 35three.com, you ask me? First of all, you have to register.

MINT review - 6 April 2012 - www.mint.bz

Hola mis amigos!

Keanu Reeves was soooo right. That's actually one of the sentences I was really hoping never to utter. For one thing, his fashion choices are controversial to say the least. So are his haircuts. And then there's his never-changing mask they call a face. But he was right in wondering whether to choose to believe in matrix or just go with the flow. Because it's hard, amigos. Once you're in, it seems that there's no going back. To paraphrase another guru of reality checks, just when you think you're out, it pulls you back in...

Only last week I was digging into a forced matrix system, remember? And now it seems that, just like Morpheus said, the matrix keeps on following me wherever I go. Spooky, right? But don't panic, mis amigos, it's actually a good thing. You know why? Because it's the kind of matrix that can make you some sweet money. And if there's anything better out there, be sure to let me know.

Despite the name, Mint.bz is not a company that sells be beverages or chewing gum. Nor are they into bees (bz, get it?), although I think that bees could be into them. Their fresh minty website is kind of appealing, actually. And makes me want to drink iced tea, for some reason. Apart from having a cool, though still rather basic, website, they offer a variety of ways of making money. You probably wonder why I haven't told you already what is it that they do exactly. And here's the reason, people:

"Mint.bz is a traffic exchange/cycler/matrix/ profit sharing opportunity"

See? It's kind of hard to explain it up in one sentence.

First of all, you need to bear in mind that since the JustBeenPaid has proved so popular, the matrix system will be the new "thing." I anticipate the arrival of many new programs based on a similar system. Knowing that, all of us, millionaires in spe I mean, have no other choice but to get to know the matrix really well. Mint.bz's system is pretty simple and I find their explanation of its workings more than satisfactory: "[y]ou may either invite 2 members who also invite 2 members each in order to receive the $30+ or invite 6 people to achieve the same. The best part about our operation is that, unlike other 2x2 Matrix Systems, you receive money for every member joining instantly, additional to the 2x2 earnings. OK, so that's their matrix. How about the rest, you ask?

Firms Capital review - 30 March 2012 - www.firmscapital.com

Hola mis amigos!

It's been a while, but you know how it goes in the world of rich and famous. Or rather, I hope that you know so that you can tell me, actually. Anyway, the spring has come and so have new investment opportunities. There is nothing I enjoy more than new ways to make big money. Except the big money itself.

And now is the time for a big announcement: I know it may come as a shock to you, amigos, but I have to admit to having some trouble with understanding the intricate workings of the program I was to write about. Usually, the programs we come across are more or less similar, so once you get the way the system works it's pretty easy to manage. Firms Capital is a whole other thing.

If you've heard, and you probably have, about the now sensational JustBeenPaid (alexa rank no. 507) and you haven't had any problems with grasping the ideas behind the force matrix then you'll have a firm (pun intended!) idea of what Firms Capital is all about. But, even so, in order to truly comprehend the way Firms Capital operates one should read and then reread their FAQ's, blog, and basically everything there is on their website. Or maybe I'm just that dim, I don't know...

To start with, the idea behind the Los Angeles based company "Firms Capital" is to combine what's good about hyip and matrix systems. To paraphrase PR teams all over the world, in Firms Capital the old meets the new, and tradition meets innovation. The old and tradition meaning standard hyip investment programs, with 15-50% pay rate every 5, 7 or 15 days.

The simplest one, available to all members, is a $10 worth (Liberty Reserve only) "Foreign Exchange Market" that enables you to "get 15% profit every 7 days". Also, there is the usual 3-level referral program, and you don't need any active deposit to participate in it; in other words, you don't have to spend any money to earn the commission. There's no compounding option, unfortunately, but to brighten things up, there is also no minimum withdrawal amount. So far so good? By now you're probably thinking, "Not easy to understand? What was that all about? Either drink some coffee or just realize that you are that stupid!". You may be right, of course, but here comes the tricky part, namely the new and still quite innovative section of Firms Capital offer, the MATRIX...

Investionality review - 16 January 2012 - www.investionality.com

If you are an avid reader of our reviews, you are probably reading pages which names begin with "money" or "finance" every single day. People who are in forex-related business know all there is to know about money, but only every so often can they be called imaginative.

To be fair, it's hard to come up with something new when all you do is deal with money all day long. That is why I take it upon myself to give credit where credit's due and praise anyone who thinks outside the box even just a teensy bit.

Investionality is one of those company names that you will probably remember for more than a couple of seconds. I like the sound of it, and I like all the ideas it evokes: personality, investing, being original, creating a new quality, going international – somehow it all comes to my mind when I hear "Investionality." I assume that every one of you has different associations, but I think most of them would be positive and that's what counts.

While the name seems fresh I must say that their webpage doesn't seem all that original. The inspirational pictures are really pretty, but it's so "been there, done that." I feel like I've seen all of them before, mostly on pages related with achieving zen or taking control of your life, so they seem too Dr. Phil to me. I'm not a fan of the texts connected to the pictures either. The thing that counts most in the pursuit of happiness is choosing the right companion – really? Are they recommending marrying your broker?

The door of opportunity is wide open if you are prepared – talk about stating the obvious... It is only under the third picture from the left where an actual piece of information is written. For argument's sake let's say I'm an investor. I know what I want. I know how much money I can spend. All I want to know is whether the company is reliable, how can I register, what are my options and how much money can I make. The hypothetical me does not care about sunsets and oceans, companions and doors. Something to think about...

Apart from the cheesy parts, the page is well-constructed, simple and contains most of the things a potential investor needs to know. The texts are original and for a page that's been created relatively recently (creation date: 2011-11-27), it seems well thought through. I like the news updates and that the profit reports are always on top. Also, the part "Advantages At A Glance" is a nice touch since it gives you everything you need to know in a small, neat package.

Wales Finance review - 23 December 2011 - www.walesfinance.net

I don't know if you know this but... It's almost Christmas! I know, I know, it may come as a shock to you, guys, since you basically pay no attention to all the things that are not... What's the word? Material? No... Money-related? No, that's not it. ONLINE!

Yes, that's what I was looking for! Also, you probably no longer believe in Santa, nor in Santa's little helpers (or, maybe, you are one of those people who claim that they had always suspected there was something fishy about a fatso coming through a small chimney. Especially if you grew up in a block of flats. In other words, a pessimist), but if you're fed up with your own Christmas disillusionment, please go to http://walesfinance.net

Can you hear those sleigh bells ringing? Oh, come on! Wales Finance's page is white, green and red and is decorated with little leaves, or trees, or whatever. Even the girl is wearing a red&white T-shirt for heaven's sake! And she looks like she knows Santa very well, if you know what I mean.

For all the pessimists out there: yes, I realize that the colors evoke the Welsh flag, not Santa with a Christmas tree in his hands. But don't you have the little child inside you anymore?!

All in all, obviously I like the design. Putting the Christmas fever aside, the website is easy to navigate, well-thought through and simple. If only the red dragon would appear! (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go help yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_Dragon).

It must be the Christmas, or I'm getting old and lenient, but I really like this webpage. Their texts are unique and their message is clear. What bothers me slightly is the legend of Wales Finance that you can read on the "who we are" page. I get it, you're awesome, but the college thing is not all that interesting. What's more important, IMHO, is that the staff you're hiring is permanent and that you've been working since 2005 (although Wales Finance went online only recently, on 11-11-2011).

For obvious reasons, they're registered, as most Forex companies are, in Dominica. What may seem quite amusing is their motto: "The Investment Company that likes to say Yes" – really? To every question possible? How about: can I pay you in Doubloons? Or Monopoly money? Or not pay at all? The other motto is better, "[t]he power to do more", although somehow I immediately think of batteries or power drinks and stuff like that. But my mind is wicked, as you already know.

Solid Forex Ltd review - 21 November 2011 - www.solidforexltd.com

Hello!

I know it's almost winter and all people can think about is when to buy presents, what to buy, how to buy it and will the "Last Christmas" song by Wham! ever stop playing. But we can't be that egocentric and forget that somewhere, not exactly over the rainbow, the sun is still shining and people are happy. I know it sounds impossible, but just believe it.

As you may – or may not – remember, together we've been to many beautiful places. People dealing with the Forex business like to be pampered, I guess, so they choose the Cayman Islands or the Bahamas for their headquarters. I know, I know, it's practical not romantic, it's because of the taxes and stuff like that, but please, remember, that if you kill that child inside you, you may die as well. So, amigos, today we're going to travel to the magical land of... Panama!

But first, let's start with the name. "Solid Forex Ltd" sounds professional and... well, it's kind of unavoidable to say it - solid. I like that. It's a good strategy to let people know what you're all about at the very first glance. On the other hand, it encourages us to scrutinize them even that much harder, doesn't it? And scrutinize we will. First of, there is the website itself, http://solidforexltd.com, with some decent articles and a clear message (if not too clear, to be honest – I realize that being wealthy doesn't particularly suck, but telling us about it over and over again doesn't change the fact that for now I'm not exactly the king of the world).

The design is appropriate, it somehow evokes ancient Greece and gold at the same time. Again, I have to be redundant, but it truly seems solid. Even their logo simultaneously epitomizes stability and opulence. I also like the way they organized their page: it's detailed without being overly elaborate, and that lady on the front page seems not only pretty, but also qualified. What I don't enjoy is that I feel as if I'm almost blind when I'm reading their page, the font is so small and thin that my eyes literally hurt. But that's just me. Maybe I'm blind already and I simple do not know about it yet.

Now, let's take a closer look at the content. There are some small spelling mistakes (e.g., "[t]o chose the most safe and profitable..."), sometimes they forget about punctuation, but all of that happens to everyone, me included. Like I've mentioned before, I don't particularly go for the all-too-obvious message that BEING RICH IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING, but I can't really argue with that. It's not like I can judge a page about unicorns for having too many unicorn-related stories. That just doesn't seem right (not that unicorn stories ever should). However, my biggest pet peeve is inconsistency, which is especially irritating when you're supposedly dealing with a solid business.

Uinvest review - scam warning or a mistake? (uinvest.com.ua)

Some facts have led me to think if Uinvest, a popular online investment program (investments in restaurants, hotels etc shares), is a hoax or a real project.

For the uninitiated, Uinvest is searching for promising companies in Ukraine and the surrounding area, which offer shares in exchange for investments belonging to Uinvest investors. The profits offered are between several to tens of percent per month.

One of such companies is "Carpathians Hotel & Restaurant" introduced by Uinvest.

Location: Ukraine, Ivano-Frankivska oblast
Period of business activity: 3 years
Assessed value: $448,000
Monthly earnings: $70,000

And here is the photo of this residence:

However, it appears that the true location of this hotel is in Romania, Gura Humorului city. The hotel owners know nothing about Uinvest activity. Here is the photo of the Romanian hotel:

The same hotel without a doubt, isn't?

The hotel website: http://www.toacabellevue.ro/en

We are dealing either with a mistake or with a fraud. If this is a mistake, how should we treat these words from the Uinvest website:

"All the companies featured on Uinvest undergo rigorous scrutiny by our own team of business professionals. We guarantee the accuracy of every business we profile, which is why we are respected leaders in our industry."

A3fx review - 27 October 2011 - www.a3fx.net

"We do not grant telephone support to everybody as we have no time got it (sic!)."

This may be my favorite thing in the whole wide world. I have literally never been this happy. So, there are more people like me in this world? I wish more of us, the telephone-haters, would emerge. Anyone, anywhere? Oh, I forgot, you probably hate being contacted anyway. But... How am I supposed to get through to you? A vicious circle, no doubt, but what a great circle it is.

The aforementioned precious message can be found on an equally awesome page, https://a3fx.net. A3fx, besides having a thoroughly innovative attitude when it comes to the customer care, has an original name, original script and an imaginative graphic design. Since they have no time (got it?), I will make it brief, people. It's business we're talking about, for crying out loud, so we should be concise and to the point.

Point 1. I like the way they organized their website. The ideas are logically presented. The colors are great: captivating, but not distracting. I even like the fonts, which rarely happens to me (I'm quite picky when it comes to fonts. Yes, I know I have issues, but who doesn't?). But what I like the most is the fact that it's loading extremely quickly and that it's custom made. Similarly to great Italian suits, custom made websites are usually the best. Like a smile, an original script may take you along way and it's so much more cooler. There is one catch, however. It's often said that the original scripts are sometimes tend to be less safe than those that have been tested over and over again and, therefore, all the kinks of the system have been already worked out.

SingInvest review - 27 September 2011 - www.singinvest.com

How many idols, talents and x factors are there in the world? Do they all have to sing? Can't somebody, like, for instance, NOT sing? Maybe just, I don't know, work or something?

Their focus is on investments in small to medium private and public companies and start-ups and instead of quick and risky investments they prefer stable long-term gains, and investments in real economy such as manufacturing and development, future technologies, clean energy, innovative services. They're interested in the following sectors: advanced mechanics, new materials, IT and communications technology, biomedical technologies. It all sounds very promising, doesn't it? If not just a bit science-fiction, too.

You know what there is an abundance of? Just, guess, please. Or maybe, better not, because probably you're not as distressed a person as I am, so success will never be possible on that front. Let me tell you something then. There are too many... Singing competitions! I knew you wouldn't have guessed that. But think about it. How many idols, talents and x factors are there in the world? Do they all have to sing? Can't somebody, like, for instance, NOT sing? Maybe just, I don't know, work or something?

You're probably wondering if you're on the right website. Investments and singing? Yes, amigo, everything is just fine – I'm just sharing my own surprise with you. And the shock came from the name of a private investment and management company SingInvest. For morethan a second I was wondering "Am Iin the right place?" as well, but the singing part of the name actually comes from their headquarters, namely Singapore. Phew, such a relief. I was just about to shield my ears, afraid of the squeaking sounds of pop star wannabes. As you can read on their home page, SingInvest has been working for 6 years (they went online this year) and was founded by "[a] team of investment and financial professionals from Singapore, UK and USA." Their focus is on "investments in small to medium private and public companies and start-ups" and instead of quick and risky investments they prefer "stable long-term gains,” and "investments in real economy such as manufacturing and development, future technologies, clean energy, innovative services." They're interested in the following sectors: advanced mechanics, new materials, IT and communications technology, biomedical technologies. It all sounds very promising, doesn't it? If not just a bit science-fiction, too.

Arbs Web Ltd review - 21 September 2011 - www.arbs.ws

Never had I entered a territory this unknown. Remember that TV series from the '90s about a family that, due to wacky accident, travels back in time to the age of dinosaurs? At the moment I'm equally lost as its protagonists and the show's name was Land of the Lost, so there you have it.

What I know about sports is a combination, or rather a conglomerate, if you will, of bad memories and famous quotations. A game isn't over until it's over. Walking is the best possible exercise. And, naturally, the crème de la crème of all, golf is a good walk spoiled. I know there are some pitches, balls, rackets and fields. And injuries. And lots of sweating. Some fans or spectators, possibly. And, have I already mentioned injuries?

If you've read the intro more or less carefully, you can easily imagine my utter surprise when I found out that I'm going to review a service that is dedicated to sports arbitraging. I mean, SPORTS ARBITRAGING!

Arbs.ws (as in: WebSite, y'all. Nice, isn't it?) deals with surebets, namely – as my dearest Wikipedia suggests – a particular case of arbitrage arising on betting markets due to either bookmakers' different opinions on event outcomes or plain errors. Sounds simple? It actually kind of is.

First of all, Arbs.ws webpage is surely meant for everybody, not only those sport obsessed who know every score and every game and every player in every sport ever invented – and I believe those people really exist, guys... The link to the Wikipedia article on surebets can be found on Arbs.ws, which I take as a suggestion that they do not expect you to know all there is to know about neither betting, nor sports. The editors of the page made sure that the content is clear and simple, so that even a newbie could understand the basic mechanism of their offer. To add to this, the whole system is automatic, so there's no room for human error, but this probably doesn't appeal to those who were scared while watching I, Robot.

Another important thing to point out is that it is NOT yet another destined to be short-lived hyip program, but seems to be an actual-no-kidding-about-it investment program. What gives me that impression? Their regular updates and the promise that they're going to publish detailed monthly reports. Wait, there is more. The administrators are now a part of our Care Investors Program, so any problems our investors may signal will be immediately addressed by our and Arbs.ws support teams.

Western Sum review - 23 August 2011 - www.westernsum.com

Ahoy Mateys!

Yes, that's right, feeling tired of all those beach-covered and bikini-filled places, I decided to take a trip to the Merry Old England. Actually, that's a double lie. I would NEVER get tired of holiday resorts. And I didn't take a trip to the UK. At least not literally, but - for want of a better word - mentally, if you will. Or, even more appropriate, financially. Oh my, am I immediately getting all sorts of royal or what?

As you may remember from my previous entries, together we've been to the Cayman Islands, Dominica and Panama. As if the incoming gloom of September wasn't enough, now I have to relocate myself from my hammock, where I spend hours counting my money, to a posh street in the always overcrowded London. To be specific, to a commercial office tower on Wood Street. Glass and steel versus sand and sea? Not interested? What if I told you that somebody there knows "The Safe Way to Become A Millionaire"? No, it's not a Wall Street (or Wood Street, if you prefer) remake of a Marilyn Monroe movie...

Hyper Compound review - 23 July 2011 - hypercompound.com

Hola guapas y guapos!

It's the first time my greeting is THAT appropriate. Why, you ask? Because for the first time I have the opportunity to review a bilingual page which regards the Spanish speaking part of the world. Hyper Compound, today's protagonist, is an investment company founded in 2006 (the website can be traced back online to June 16th, 2011) that asks you to "Invest with Confidence." OK, confidence it is. But since I'm not the kind of person who takes anyone's word for granted, I'd rather take a little looksie into Hyper Compound's hyperconfident offer.

First of all, let me tell you a secret. Maybe you have already noticed, but just in case you haven't here it comes... I'd love to work as a PI! Chasing the bad guys, making photos of lovers in flagranti, sitting in a car drinking coffee, eating donuts and watching out for some action - doesn't it sound unbelievably cool? Since I can't do it for living, I'm sublimating (Freud, guys, look it up!) and investigate online. I realize that I basically gave you a definition of "lame," but maybe you'll thank me for that one day. Because thanks to my quirky hobby I was able to find out three important locations: Ukraine, the US and Dominica. You know that I'm a sucker for warm climate, so let's start with the Dominica. The jpeg of the certificate of incorporation that we received from Hyper Compound clearly states that they are registered in the Commonwealth of Dominica (as of June 21st, 2006). Right now I'm trying really hard not to picture the tropical landscape of Dominica and stick to the business. Ukraine, then? The server's location is Ukraine, but it's actually located in the US (staminus.net), and it's the DDoS protection that is provided by DDoSwiz.com which is located in Ukraine. Complicated, huh? Let me assure you that it was the most difficult part of Hyper Compound's profile. It only gets easier, guys! And somebody once told me I deliver only bad news... Blasphemy!

Felmina Alliance review - 15 July 2011 - felmina.com

Hola mis amigos!

It’s been a while since I last bestowed my knowledge on you, but - as you probably know (I hope, otherwise you’re in real trouble and you should remove yourself from your computer desk ASAP) - it’s summer and I’m trying to get some tan. Tan, remember that concept?

It happens when you get out of your house and spend some time outside, aka in the Real World. Where the sun and all other stuff is. Sounds somewhat familiar? Anyway, I was trying to look more like a normal person, not a zombie, but, (un)fortunately, the Internet found me. Who likes normal people anyhow? So, here I am writing about money and investments again. Missed me?

Felmina Alliance Inc. is a new (one month online) Panamanian-based (to be exact, they supposedly reside at: 50th Street, Global Plaza Tower, 19th Floor, Suite H. Suite H? I’d LOVE that for my office!) investment company which deals with trading customers’ money via different investment methods in order to provide them with returns that are said to be "well above the market" (http://www.felmina.com/faq.php "About Us," "What does your company do?"). You know me, the phrase "returns well above the market" immediately caught my interest. I realize that they are registered in Panama because of the taxes, but still I believe that the tropical Panamanian climate must have something to do with their website. Firstly, it’s - for want of a better word - breezy.

Forex Element review - 23 June 2011 - forexelement.com

Hola there!

Dream with me folks... Imagine the coral-sand Seven Mile Beach, snorkeling by the Marriot hotel and scuba diving every day in a place where temperature is always between 22-30 °C (72-86 °F). And now take some office equipment, computers and people in suits and insert them in the picture. Does not compute?

Yet, this place must exist since the Cayman Islands is the location you can find when checking out Forex Element's contact address. And that's the magical institution that we're going to take a closer look at today.

Why magical? First of all, because the Cayman Islands is the place where heavenly pleasures are so close to Hell. Yes, you heard it right - Hell, Grand Cayman is a sightseeing attraction that consists of black rocks where it was once said "This is what Hell must look like." Secondly, there is an air of mystery surrounding the Forex Element company since we couldn't confirm their whereabouts. However, the Cayman Islands - you must admit - sound ridiculously good, don't they?

But enough about beaches and snorkeling and Heaven vs. Hell - we get enough of that on TV. As you have probably already deduced, Forex Element is in the FOReign EXchange market business. Some of you may say that making money in forex market at levels similar to those offered in investment plans is just like working on a beach in the Cayman Islands - too good to be true. And that's true - sorry, mis amigos. Theoretically, it's possible to earn up to 10% daily, but in reality - which sucks, I know, but ever since Matrix was created it should not surprise anybody - it is very unlikely and rarely happens. Even if it does, you can't count on the regularity of refunds. Don't like it? I suggest you watch Matrix again. So, it seems reasonable to invest in plans that have similar refunds to those in the forex market (1-5% with aggressive strategy).

Alpha Forex review - 16 June 2011 - alphaforex.biz

Hola amigos!
It's such a nice day to discuss... finances! Since I consider myself your personal guide to the world of the rich and, well, richer, today I'm going to find out if Alpha Forex Investment Company is the way to live a life of luxury. Keep your fingers crossed!

Alpha Forex is yet another long-term program that has recently been added to Money-Monitor. Theoretically, you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but who am I kidding? Even in the business world, looks are still quite important (who has not made fun of Donald Trump's hair? Anyone? Anyone? That's what I thought.), so let's take a look at what Alpha Forex has to offer in the "being pretty" department.

I hate paying compliments, but even I have to admit that their website is stylish. It's been a long time since I've seen as classy, simple and eye-catching page as this one. I especially like the way they're trying to gain my trust by putting me – literally – on the top of the world, namely an awesome, snowy mountain.

Talk about high expectations! "Smart Investing Is Knowing What We Own" is a Smart Advertising Slogan. It's catchy, yet professional – who doesn't believe that the knowledge of your assets is one's biggest asset? The menu is just as well-wrought: it's extremely easy to set up a new account, but just to make sure everybody gets it, the administrators prepared a modest, but sufficient video presentation (look it up: "Getting Started" tab). Long story short – it's quite obvious that the website is well-prepared and thought through. So, we're dealing with pros here, amigos.

Opulentia review - 3 June 2011 - opulentia.ch

First of all, I have to admit that I truly believe there is absolutely nothing wrong with being ostentatiously rich. Quite the opposite - if there was an easy way to achieve it, my very first reaction would be: Please, sign me in! So when I came across the Opulentia program, I started thinking that I finally found my place in the world.

Why? Because in Latin opulentia means wealth, power, might and splendid. Sounds good, doesn't it? After an hour (or more...) of daydreaming, I decided to find out more about Opulentia's promising offer.

To begin with, existing investors may confirm that for 4 months now (namely, from the beginning), the distribution of payouts are transfered like clockwork. To be precise, like a Swiss clockwork and that's actually the case, because the administrators introduce themselves as a private investment program based in Switzerland.
