Forex Trading Team Notices – Under Attack?

March 13, 2011 by RolClubBlog Leave a Comment

Some of you who have recently tried to access the website of ForexTradingTeam (forextradingteam.net) might have noticed that there were minor problems with accessing for a while. The administration of the program has explained the reason of this problem in the latest newsletter. The thing is that slight downtime happened due to program’s hosting provider network issues. Forextradingteam.net was also under a massive DDoS attack. The administration says they have no idea who and why was attacking the website because those hackers didn’t ask for anything:

“Perhaps, some competitors don’t like another successful investment program around. Anyway, we have two more anti-ddos providers as a blackup, so our clients do not have to worry about site downtimes at all.”

ForexTradingTeam website is working perfectly now, thanks to program’s DDoS mitigation provider BlockDoS. I remind you that the administration of the program has just recently added two new payment processors to the list of accepted e-currencies. Now on it is possible to make a deposit via five payment processors which are LibertyReserve, AlertPay, PerfectMoney, SolidTrustPay and GlobalDigitalPay in a plan that brings 2-3% daily for 200 business days with $10 minimum deposit amount. By the way, do not forget about a referral program at Forextradingteam.net which offers 10% per each deposit.

Basic Due Dilligence – Do Your WhoIs Search

March 10, 2011 by RolClubBlog Leave a Comment

I’m willing to bet that you’ve been told before, but I’m going to say it again– Research before you invest in anything. Doing a small amount of research before any investment will save you money in the long run and can save you a lot of heartache. This is especially true with high-yield investment programs.

I am going to accumulate some good techniques and information that should really help new investors, and I hope will provide at least a bit of new information for the veterans out there.

So, lets say you have found a program that you want to invest in. Before you jump in and send your hard-earned money I suggest you dig in and try to figure out everything you can about the investment. Unfortunately, there are a lot of scam investments out there that you need to avoid. The question is how do you determine which investments have potential to make money and which ones are just out to steal your money? Where do you start?

The best place to start is by doing a thorough search of the investment web site. First check out the main page for any information the site gives about the company. After reading everything the on the main page you should check out the FAQ and/or the About Us sections.

Many scam HYIP sites have a generic “copy & paste” FAQ section. Most have typos and may even reference an investment plan name that is NOT the name of the HYIP. This is a clear indication that the HYIP is not a safe site to invest money into and is 99.9% likely to be a scam.

After checking the FAQ/About Us section you should check out each of the other pages to determine if there are any inconsistencies you can find. My rule of thumb is if there are blatant errors in the English language or inaccurate information, don’t invest.

After checking out the program’s website the first tool you should utilize in your research is the Whois search.

#1.) Do a Whois search on the investment program’s domain.

I recommend using DomainTools to perform your search. This site has all sorts of searches and tools, however for our purposes we’ll be using it to perform a Whois search and to ping for an IP address. More about pinging in my next research article.

Type in the domain name, and click search. As an example I’ll go step-by-step and check out www.cnn.com.

Registrant:
Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.
Domain Name Manager
One CNN Center 13N
Atlanta, GA 30303
US
Email:

Registrar Name….: CORPORATE DOMAINS, INC.
Registrar Whois…: whois.corporatedomains.com
Registrar Homepage: www.cscprotectsbrands.com

Domain Name: cnn.com

Created on…………..: Wed, Sep 22, 1993
Expires on…………..: Fri, Sep 21, 2018
Record last updated on..: Thu, Nov 18, 2010

Administrative Contact:
Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.
Domain Name Manager
One CNN Center 13N
Atlanta, GA 30303
US
Phone: +1.4048275000
Email:

Technical Contact:

US
Phone: +1.4048275000
Email:

DNS Servers:

ns5.timewarner.net
ns3.timewarner.net
ns1.timewarner.ne

Now, you’ll notice the Whois search doesn’t tell you a whole lot.

For an example of a site without privacy protection here’s a look at DomainTools.com’s Whois results:

As you can see, not everyone’s Whois results info will look the same, but if they’re unprotected they’ll tell you the:

Registrant’s name
Email address
Physical mailing address
Phone Number

Unless you are lucky and the investment program doesn’t have privacy protection, this search really only provides you with a couple useful tid-bits of information:

it lets you know who the domain is registered with. As you can see in the above Whois, cnn.com is registered with Turner Broadcasting
it gives you the name of the privacy protection company.
sometimes it gives you the domain’s creation and expiration dates.
it lists the URL of the name servers the site is hosted under.

In the example of www.cnn.com the company providing privacy protection is WhoisGuard. You may wonder why this is useful information, and in most cases it isn’t. However, if I lost a large sum of money investing in a program and was trying to get it back I might try contacting the privacy company. Who knows, the person behind the phone may mess up and give you information if you’re persuasive enough.

Anyway, the expiration date is a useful bit of information to have if it’s provided.

If the domain’s registered for more than one year it is an indication that the program may be around for some time. If it’s only for one year or the Whois search doesn’t display an expiration date, you may want to be wary about reinvesting multiple times in the program or even investing at all.

Fixed Monthly Income Reviewed!

March 10, 2011 by RolClubBlog Leave a Comment

Fixed Monthly Income is a long-term HYIP that the admin told me opened around 07/22/2010. I’m unable to confirm this as I only became aware of the program last month. I’m not saying the program has not been around, open to private investors, only that my research tells me the program opened mid-February. The Alexa graph below, shows traffic to the site started in February, and this is also the time that Fixed Monthly Incomestarted advertising with different HYIP monitoring sites.

Anyway, lets start off by taking a look at the frequently asked questions most HYIP investors have:

Deposits are accepted by Bank Wire Transfer and Western Union.
Withdraws are processed within 48 hours on business days Monday through Friday. After request it can take 2 to 5 days for funds to transfer.
Minimum deposit is $1,000.
Minimum withdrawal amount is $500.
Initial investment can be withdrawn at any time.

First, I’m going to address the fact that the program requires a minimum deposit of $1,000, more than I suggest investing in any HYIP, and more than most investors are interested in putting into any one program. So, if you are interested in this program, please realize the risk and do not spend funds that you are not willing to lose (or that you cannot afford to lose!).

While probably not unique, I haven’t seen a program quite like Fixed Monthly Income. It definitely is a long-term investment as

far as HYIPs are concerned below is the program’s payment structure:

There is only one plan with Fixed Monthly Income, and if you were to invest the minimum $1,000 into the program, you should receive $100 monthly. It would take four (4) months before you could make your first withdraw due to the as the minimum withdraw being $500. It would take four (4) months instead of (5) because you should receive a 10% bonus on month 3. You should break-even with the program on month seven (7) when you would be able to make your second withdraw. You’re able to withdraw your initial investment at any time, so there’s the possibility to break-even or get out in profit earlier if you choose to withdraw your investment.

I hope the risk is evident to all of you as the program is very long-term as far as HYIPs go. Many high-yield programs do not even make it for seven months, and several months is definitely a long period to wait before you can make a withdrawal.

Moving on, lets take a bit of time to look at the security of the site. My standard Whois Search provided typical information, listing little information other than the Panama City address and contact information that is found on the site. I haven’t attempted to contact the admin through means other than email, so I cannot verify if the phone number is in service. The IP Search tells us that the program is hosted on a dedicated server by Piradius. There is no DDoS protection offered, however at the same time there is no online account, all funds are transferred directly from bank to bank or through Western Union, so there is no risk of having your money stolen by someone hacking the account. The one security measure that is missing is a SSL certificate. As the site requires you to submit bank information, I feel this is a rather large red flag. Without a secure encrypted submission, it’s possible that your account number (along with the bank account name) could be retrieved by a hacker or a malicious program.

As the program claims to be running since 2010, I felt it necessary to take a look at their Alexa graph to do a traffic analysis:

Unfortunately, traffic information doesn’t start until mid February of this year, so all we have is what can be seen above. The above traffic graph isn’t the most promising, but is, in my opinion, to be expected with this sort of program. The typical spike a high-yield program sees in traffic isn’t as pronounced with Fixed Monthly Income due to the high minimum requirement to invest in the program. There will only be a small number of HYIP investors interested in this sort of program due to the long-term to hit break-even-point and the large minimum investment required.

Well, I don’t have much else to talk about at this time, so I’m going to wrap things up. I’ll definitely keep an eye on Fixed Monthly Income and pass any information I receive along as this program has attracted my interest. As always if you have any questions feel free to contact me. I always take the time to answer my emails. So until next time, keep walking through the world of HYIP investing!

Exotic Fx With Unique Marketing Newsletter

March 10, 2011 by RolClubBlog Leave a Comment

Today I received a pretty interesting email sent out by Exotic Fx. It is not an usual HYIP newsletter and you will understand why not.

Please read the newsletter.

“Foreign investors own trillions of this asset

This market determines Americas standard of living, their role in the world, and their prestige as a nation

It directly influences the global price of food and oil since most of the worlds other markets depend on this market, too

The price of every fixed-income security in the world is based directly on this market

Most of the world’s other markets depend on this market, too

This market is the key to the future value of bonds, stocks, and the U.S. dollar

Most important, the U.S. dollar depends on this market.

HOWEVER

This market is collapsing. Its downfall began in late 2008.

LISTEN UP.

This is the most important financial advice we can give you. We’re talking about the collapse of the largest bond market in the world the market for U.S. Treasuries.

You see, as the market collapses, foreign investors will sell. As they sell, they will also unload dollars, which will diminish the dollars purchasing power. That’s why the decline of this market is the only trend that matters.

LET US EXPLAIN.

The best illustration of this trend is the chart below. We urge no, we beg you to pay attention to this chart. Put a copy of it on your refrigerator. Update it weekly. Keep your eye on it. And make sure you truly understand what it means.

The chart compares the value of long-dated U.S. Treasury bonds (TLT) to the price of gold (GLD). When we say “long-dated,” we mean U.S. government debts that don’t come due for more than 20 years. This chart shows the value of the bond market compared to gold since December 2008.

Whenever someone tells you he believes the risks of the American government’s debt load and its dependency on “quantitative easing” (aka printing money) are exaggerated, show him this chart.

This chart demonstrates the collapse of the purchasing power of U.S. currency as gold rises. And it shows the corresponding collapse in the credit of the U.S. government as bonds fall.

Just to be clear about this We are not alone in our claims. Others echo the same sentiments. Here’s what another analyst wrote:

None of the government’s bailout plans will solve any of the problems. The government can only shift the burden of the failures. Instead of bondholders and shareholders being wiped out, taxpayers are put on the hook. These actions will temporarily resuscitate the economy but cause a permanent decline in the value of the dollar inflation will wipe out much of the value of long-dated U.S. government bonds, causing their prices to plummet.

At EFX, We have warned our investors “Get out of the U.S. Dollar as fast as you can.” Invest in the currencies of cash and resource rich nations. We’re repeating these warnings again because the market for U.S. Treasuries recently “broke down” through an important level. The big government bond fund (TLT) just struck its lowest low in nine months. The decline seems to be accelerating.

It is not too late to protect yourself, your family and your very way of life.

At ExoticFX we have strived to simplify the process by providing you with a Hands-off approach. We work diligently to research the Exotic currency pairs, stay on top of the Majors, determine the ETF trends and discover Emerging Market Opportunities. We participate in these markets every single day and provide you with a simple plug and play portal to this Multi Billion dollar industry.

When you join ExoticFX – youll immediately gain these five key advantages.

1. You earn a faster growing, independent income, with less riskwith no need for day trading.

2. You can stay insulated from the Global debt crisis and become diversified outside your own currency.

3. Youll avoid costly errors and steep learning curves that reduce your confidence and can wipe out your bank balance.

4. Youll enjoy a new financial status, and confidence knowing strict risk management is used to maximize profits.

5. And youll get back in control of your money, minus costly brokers and their profit-grabbing commissions.

ExoticFX could very well be your number one best chance to profit in 2011 and beyond”

The admin thanks everyone who expressed their opinion on the design of the website. And because each opinion is very important to him and he is open to any propositions, he decided to ask two questions regarding Agromatica:

Safe Depositary Update

March 10, 2011 by RolClubBlog Leave a Comment

SafeDepositary (safedepositary.com) has published another update on the website informing about the recent scheduled software upgrade and a promo video which is available for every active client in the account area: “This video will be translated at Safe Depositary offline seminars in Nigeria. Also this movie can be remounted for any of our representatives who would like to arrange offline seminar in his region.” . You are probably aware of the fact that the first seminar was supposed to be held on March 5, however there are no reports regarding this matter at safedepositary.com.

Therefore I have contacted the admin of the program asking to explain what happened. He responded very fast (as usual) and provided me with information. As you know, there are representatives of the company from different countries in the world and the representatives from Nigeria are in charge of the planned seminars. The name of one of them is Kevin Peterand here is what he said:

“There was a presidential campaign program today in Abuja that restricted movement of people around the city centre leading to cancellation of the seminar to a later date. Meanwhile, that of Kaduna will still hold as planned as many people are already calling eager to participate.”

We are waiting for further notifications. By the way, as you already know from one of our recent news, SafeDepositary is now can be followed on Facebook. There you can find different interesting information and communicate with other investors of the program. For example, in this news about SafeDepositary we informed you about the video contest announced by the administration. According to the terms, the winner from each country gets $50 bonus to his account. So, on Facebook you can find those video testimonials of SafeDepositary investors.

Fx Cambier Warns About Spam

March 10, 2011 by RolClubBlog Leave a Comment

Every Internet user knows the word “spam”. Spam is used in all fields on the Internet and a HYIP field is not an exception. Most investors know about the fact that spam should be ignored and shouldn’t be supported in any case but spam strategy for promoting programs is still popular because there are those who still support it. All investors of popular and serious HYIPs are warned that their accounts will be deleted in case they try to earn referral commission by promoting with the help of spam. Therefore when you receive spam emails, you can see that they usually promote unknown programs. And those are usually not investors who want to earn referral commission but admins themselves.

We try to warn investors against supporting spam from time to time and even though such warnings might seem obvious to you, we will continue doing that because new investors join HYIP industry every day and they should be aware of this too. Today we are publishing a warning from the admin of FxCambier (fxcambier.com) who informs about spam emails that are sent out on his behalf:

“WARNING!Spam Email are NOT from FXCAMBIER! We just have been informed that some spammers are sending email with the subject of “FxCambier” all around and promote other programs. PLEASE AVOID THESE EMAILS!”

Oscar Funds News

March 10, 2011 by RolClubBlog Leave a Comment

Ali, the admin of OscarFunds (oscarfunds.com) has informed that everyone can now find his project on Facebook:

“We are pleased to announce the add-on of Facebook. You can now chat with us, join in open discussions and a lot more. For more information, please visit us at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Oscar-Investments-International-Limited/102027959878289?sk=wall”

Such an addition is great because Facebook is probably the most popular social network service on the Internet. It was launched in February 2004 and there are more than 600 million active users now. More and more admins understand the importance of communications and add Twitter and Facebook (for example one of the leaders in the industrySafeDepositary is now on Facebook too ). Some of them just create pages there but do not update them and therefore those accounts are useless. Others actively communicate with their investors and gain more popularity.
