Updates on RPPs - recorded updates on GPP, WPP, HCI, Excel and Imperia.


One of my subscribers sent me this interesting McLean101 Talkshoe recording:  RPP update


It's a 30 minute recording covering this group's take on the latest information on GPP, WPP, HCI, Excel and Imperia. 


Ignore the first 3 minutes as it covers a program I am not familiar with.  Use the slider to advance the recording to the area you are interested in.   They are in the GPP, WPP, HCI, Excel and Imperia order.


I'll leave you to form your own opinion on this recording.  For me, it's interesting, but appears to be a rather rose-tinted view of these programs as seen by a big recruiter.  So don't take this information as necessarily correct in all aspects, although the program detail appears to be accurate.


The recording is no doubt designed to encourage their group to get excited about each of the programs he is marketing and may be to purchase additional purchases.  The news on debit and credit cards having been delivered may also be 'exaggerated'.  I have not heard of any of my downlines receiving these, so you may choose to not take this at face value.


The reality is that RPPs have been around for many, many years and not one has yet paid out.  That's not to say that one of them might pay out sometime, but the track record is not at all good.  This is an extremely high yield arena and the chances of failure are equally extremely high - not one has succeeded as yet to my knowledge.





D.N.A. update - to go Pro or not to go Pro?


It's a bit like the decision to purchase an Imperia card or not, I guess.


The DNA update of a few days back decided the issue for me. 


I went Pro as it seemed worth the risk for me, especially as they have improved their program since it was first announced, and yes I have downline in place. 


If you are undecided, the deadline of the 26th March is fast approaching, when the major profits will be rolled up to those who have upgraded.


I originally introduced the program using my special DNA page.  You will find the sign up information there.


This has now got a lot better as per the new information I received on Sunday :  the new DNA page.






Genius Funds update - site may be back up by Thursday?


I just read this post on MyCashForums and had been copied from the MMG forum, including typos! :


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello everyone, I am Mark Stevlio and want to post my apologise here but it seems you get it soon from TalkGold forum.

And I will say it again officially from myself.

This is Mark from Gneius Funds, Ltd. I will make this short and to the point. Genius Funds Ltd. is currently updating our website to comply with the rulings from the Canadian Judicial System. This update is taking much longer than anticipated, as we ensure we are to the letter of the law. However, i can confirm that our Technical Operations Department has informed me that the site should be back up and running at full capacity at exactly 3:00 P.M. EST Thursday, March 25.

We will at that time send out your e-statements and be a functioning website again. Again, i wish to apologise for the confusion we have caused everybody. Look forward to hearing from all of you soon.

-----------------------------------------------------

So maybe Genius is coming back, or is it a hoax?  He had previously forecast to be back earlier this week. However one would have thought he could spell his name right (Stelvio) and the name of his program!


We shall see!

High Yield review - an updated version of last Wednsday's 'what's hot and what's not!'


All high yielding programs have a finite life - none last for ever!  Some are scams from the outset and most are Ponzi or part Ponzi in nature.


Some are set up to be long term and can last for years and ideally these are the best to be in, but at the outset it is difficult to tell which these will be, and exactly how long they will actually survive.


Currently PTV Partner looks the best bet and I am convinced it's here for the long haul. Many of you are using my $200 plan for PTV Partner - refer to last Friday's blog below.  Site was slow towards the end of last week, but the problem has been resolved and is even quicker now.


PanaMoney also looks good and has been around for nearly 2 years already - it's a long term steady money maker.


Genius Funds has hit problems and may not survive.  Currently the site is down after what is thought to be sustained DDoS attacks and have apparently now purchased a 5 year hosting on BlackDos (one of the best anti-DoS services) - but it appears to be taking it's time on getting the site back up.  As this follows the British Columbian scare, confidence in Genius has been severely dented - but hopefully it will be back.  There's a report that the site was to be back up at 7GMT today (Monday) but it was not clear if that was 7am or 7pm.  There are also reports that the admin, Mark Stelvio, has vacated his Cyprus office and that he started another HYIP called forextradersbooker.com last month to carry on where he left off with Genius Funds.


NanoMoney appears to have hit cash flow problems as it is currently paying out just a few small amounts and not communicating with it's members.  Probably dead.  Admin has gone AWOL!


WBWSO is another very steady high yield program that's based on a real business and although the returns are conservative it is set up for the long term and has been around for well over a year now.






GNI clarification - correct address for refunds and latest on new program.


One or two of you have had dificulty sending your refunds in.  The latest info on this is: 


Refunds requests need to be posted in a support ticket at http://gniforum.com/gnirefund/ ONLY


The latest on Robert's newGNI program is: 


I am continuing putting together the New GNI, while remaining cognizant of the refund program. As you know, we cannot combine the two programs. We must, however, keep our traders busy or we jeopardize giving up their unused capacity to other Arbitrage Programs. More on this shortly.

Heads up on a new program - initially looking for leaders!


I have been invited into a new program  that's just starting and they are looking for leaders.


It's run by a respected admin and is not yet open to the general public - when it is, you will see it everywhere!


This is not passive as you need to be able to bring in 3 under you in order to be in profit, and from then on your profit grows. 


It is not expensive to join and be a member, but please don't ask for information if you are going to be passive as you will never get into profit!  There is a lot of free advertising available and bags of freebies.


Please send an e-mail for details to Orchard.publications@ntlworld.com  with 'New program details' as the subject.  Include your name and e-mail address in the body of the e-mail.

Two Hundred Dollar Plan - turn $200 into $14,649 in less than a year! 


From time to time, for my amusement, I like to devise plans that could return big rewards with minimum risk. And the one I dreamed up this morning while I was working out in the gym, actually looks like it could really work extremely well!


So, I thought I would put it into print!


You need just $200 to start the plan, or $100 if you cannot afford that.


Full details of the plan are at The Two Hundred Dollar Plan


If anyone needs help with funding the plan in terms of availability of e-currency, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Gold Nugget Invest - calls a halt and promises refunds.


D.N.A. update - loading in of number plates has started!


Plus latest news on the popular programs.



Gold Nugget Invest - calls a halt and promises refunds.

On Wednesday, GNI announced it's failure to recover any of their assets from their bank's (Yesilada) intermediary bank and hence was unable to continue.  Here is Robert's announcement in full:

Greetings to the Most Loyal GNI Friends, Family & Associates and; Nemesis:

 

As I have mentioned in the forum, I have spent the last few days in Northern Cyprus trying desperately to obtain those funds which belong to us - members and principals of Goldnuggetinvest.com. 

 

Besides myself, I have been privileged to be assisted by Counsel (one of our attorneys) to not just make a strong presence on behalf of some faceless arbitrage project; indeed, but to help me place a face on the thousands of loyal GNI Customers who have (rightfully or not) depended on our presence and weekly payments to:

 

1.   pay the rent or mortgage,

2.   pay doctor's bills,

3.   pay for a family member's schooling,

4.   retire in a manner that is consistent with the years of service provided to their employer,

5.   take a well-deserved vacation with someone special or

6.   have some peace of mind in these troublesome times.

 

Despite our best efforts, and monumental efforts were made by all concerned, we could not get the directors, regulators or oversight administrators to relent. There were several tactics employed, a couple of which were most creative, but it was of no use. We thought we may have a foot in the door, only to have it cut off. What I can say is we tried damn it....we tried our hardest; but we could not overcome this hurdle.

 

Without this income, we go in reverse. We have had suggestions, offers which included members giving us funds, members willing to delay the taking of payments, partial payments, the entire spectrum of suggestions; the reality is, however, these suggestions amount to a band-aid when in fact a tourniquet is called for.

 

I must, for the sake of the sanity of myself and my family, the GNI Team Members, the Principals and our most trusted customers, shut down Goldnuggetinvest.com effective immediately and permanently. This decision will not be reversed.

 

Refunds: Despite the 'disingenuous' overtones having made its way around the world of on-line investing, we will be refunding those members who are NOT in profit, an amount equal to 101.5% of their principal investment (this includes interest payments already received) rendering EVERY person who invested with us, more than whole as defined by Commonly Accepted Principles of Accounting. The instructions will be provided within the next 48-72 hours; will be straight-forward so this can be expedited.

 

The newGNI: GNI has the concept, the tools and the strategy somewhat perfected in the world of Sure-Bets. We will be making an announcement at  08:00 (GMT) on Friday, March 12 as it pertains to our future. We can give a hint: It will be a completely and totally PRIVATE program fashioned in a manner that is compliant in any and all world-wide jurisdictions with no limitations. This program has been in the planning stages for nine months and was to be run in parallel with GNI. Nothing more will be said until Friday.

 

Summary / Conclusion:  I want to take a moment to thank all of you, our GNI family for all the kind words and support you have shown over the past several months. I never anticipated some of the hurdles which we had been forced to try to navigate. This program was my baby, you were my extended family. This program was a sense of pride, an attempt to help those of you who needed it the most. I have never, nor has my team, hid from reality; perhaps we were a bit over-confident, but our intentions were and always have been true.

 

Our next chapter will be very bright, very private, but very bright. I hope to see all of you join in the journey.

 

Thank you from my heart!

 

With kind regards,

Robert and the GNI Team


I imagine most of you are well in profit by now, but for those who did not achieve that, it is important that you take a screen shot of your account summary page, making sure you set the time to the date you opened your account, and keep that as a record so that you can claim your refund when the time arises.  It is not clear how long the information in your back-office will be available.

It will be interesting to see what Robert is offering tomorrow in the way of a private program.  Everyone will have a different view on what has happened and Robert's decision to close, but obviously without the major portion of his funds to do the arbitrage trading he had litlle alternative than to close.  I would hope that most members will see this as a sad end to what has been a very successful trading program for a relatively long time.





D.N.A. update - loading in of number plates has started!

For those of you that joined Data Network Affiliates, D.N.A. you can start entering those license plate numbers to earn some income.  You should have received the instructions from D.N.A. by e-mail.

For the moment, I will remain a free member and see how things develop. 

I think it's only US members that can order the optional D.N.A. Business Benefits Package with the upgrade PRO data entry module which speeds the entry process up. 

In the free mode it takes 3 to 5 minutes for data verification and you can only load up to 5 plates a day.

Let's see how all this works.  I have a lot of reservations about D.N.A. but they appear to be doing what they said they would, but I get the impression that the 'free mode' will be short-lived and to make any real money after the first month or so, we will need to upgrade.

Detials on Data Network Affiliates are given on my special page at
D.N.A.

Imperia Invest Update - to purchase a debit card or not? UPDATED


PTV Partner - have you listened to my top program on the radio yet?


Plus latest news on the popular programs.






Imperia Invest Update - to purchase a debit card or not?  UPDATED

Imperia Invest has now closed to new members and requested that members should purchase a debit card or debit card plus offshore bank account.  This is in preparation for the promised payout.

Most members are wondering if they should fork out $145 or more in the hope that Imperia will actually pay out.

A colleague has summed up the situation very well in the following e-mail to me:

If only we could rub that crystal ball and forsee the future life would be so much more stress free. And yet I don’t think too many people were surprised when Imperia Invest posted their latest news about how members can get access to their funds. Unfortunately, as predicted, there is a cost for this service and many people are questioning just why this is the case. Most comments I’ve seen run along the lines that Imperia Invest are just squeezing the pips a little harder before disappearing off into the sunset.

Where’s that crystal ball when you need it? Admittedly there are arguments that could be put forward which would justify a charge as many other opportunities have done this in the past. No financial institution would send out a debit or credit card without charging on the basis that they would get paid when the programme paid out.

Given that the news has only been available for a couple of days it hasn’t been possible for many people to access the Imperia Invest website to find out what all the fuss is about. There are 3 pdf files that give some details of what you will be able to obtain. Briefly, there are 3 options:


1 Silver package - $145 with a maximum monthly withdrawal of $5,000 per month
2 Gold package - $230 with a maximum monthly withdrawal of $10,000 per month
3 Platinum package - $450 with a maximum monthly withdrawal of $50,000 plus an offshore bank account

From what I can surmise most people are taking the view that they would purchase the Silver option for $145 and then once they get paid would upgrade to the full package. A big caveat here is that this strategy has not been tested with Imperia so it may not be possible to achieve. The other thing to bear in mind is that you have to make a purchase by 01 May. If you don’t do this you will not get paid. However, the payments will not start until June so we can’t even let others buy a package and see if they get paid.

So plenty to wrestle with over the next few weeks. When I look into my crystal ball I see people hanging on and hanging on and then in the last week making a desperate attempt to get a package as they would never forgive themselves if Imperia turned out to be genuine and they had convinced themselves otherwise. Like everyone else I am undecided at this moment and am hoping that over the next couple of weeks some of the questions being bandied about receive up front answers so that our concerns can be reduced.


Access to the Imperia site has been difficult recently, but I managed to get into the site yesterday and today - looks like they have beefed up the servers as they must be getting a lot of visitors lately.

You can look at the details of the debit card and offshore bank account by clicking the appropriate blue link in your back office - this brings up a PDF summary for each option. They are referred to as credit cards on the PDF but Imperia had always referred to them as debit cards!  Payment is by Liberty Reserve or PerfectMoney.

I have not made a final decision as yet.  I did a Google search on the credit card name 'FlexDirect Nameless Visa Credit Card' and could find only one reference to it here.  And that was to a site that answers questions on anything, called GoFTP.  Apparently a few Imperia members have been asking the same question: where can I find information on the
FlexDirect Nameless Visa Credit Card? And nobody so far has an answer!  No web presence for FlexDirect apparently, so what kind of a bank is it? I gather from the PDF summaries that FlexDirect, if it exists at all, is probably somewhere in South America.  This is not very reassuring to say the least!

UPDATE:  There is an ADP FlexDirect card company based in North America, it's card is for business payrolls - see here.  This looks a different type of organisation.  Could this be where Imperia got the name from?

We have apparently until 1st May to order a card.  Personally I am delaying my decision until hopefully Imperia supply a bit more detail or someone comes up with a few more facts on this card/bank.

It would be good if Imperia answered queries, but I gather from another colleague:

IMPERIA will read your email, but not reply and are unlikely to act on it.

I understand they are not using one of their own banks so they can't give us free accounts, and have to use a third party provider, ie a different bank or whatever, so we have to pay.

So is this all an attempt to extract more money from us, with no intention of a payout? Or is it a genuine attempt to complete all the payouts?  Your guess is as good as mine! Only time will tell.

On balance, I think it's considerably more than likely the former, but I just could just be wrong!

Before they announced the card details I had decided to go for it if the cost was a reasonable $40 or $50.  But when I saw the cost was a minimum of $145, a totally unreasonable amount for something that most banks give away for free, I have to admit, my immediate reaction was that Imperia was showing it's true colours, and not to bother getting a card!  Maybe I'll reconsider as 1st May approaches and maybe I won't!

 
UPDATE:  One of my subscribers just e-mailed that he was confused with the categories of card (silver, gold and platinum) as they are exactly the same as the categories of referrer % commission. He asked, did he have to purchase a silver card if he had less than 25 referrals?   Sure enough if you look at the FAQ that was defined 2 years ago:

7. Which referral / comission system is active ?

Referral fees will be paid out 8 levels deep.


The following table shows the exact numbers:

1. level 5.00 % 51-XX referrals
Platin

1. level 4.75 % 26-50 referrals Gold

1. level 4.50 % 01-25 referrals Silver


2. level 4.00 %
3. level 3.00 %
4. level 2.00 %
5. level 2.00 %
6. level 2.00 %
7. level 2.00 %
8. level 2.00 %
 

Please consider that the referral fees refer to the loan (80,000 US$) of your downline-member and will be disposable after termination of trading the loan of the linked referral TEP member.


I assured my subscriber that this was just coincidence!   But thinking about it, is it really coincidence, that exactly the same categorisation has been used for the cards.  Maybe, but more likely the same person dreamed up exactly the same categories!  Namely the person running Imperia.  What do you think?






PTV Partner - have you listened to my top program on the radio yet?

PTV Partner, my top program currently, is an established HYIP that has been paying handsomely for about a year now and has earned an excellent reputation so far. 


It's A REAL, private placement funding, venture capitalization participation opportunity!...And your principal Is guaranteed! Top yields are 90% over 40 days.


It offers four different investment plans:


Introductory - a yield of 10% after 10 days ($10 to $250).


Advantage - a yield of 25% after 20 days ($50 to $500).


Leverage - a yield of 45% after 30 days ($100 to $2000).


Prestige - a yield of 90% after 40 days ($200 to $10,000).


It is totally passive, and easy to start. 


The site is at : PTV

But listen to the full details of PTV Partner on the radio first!

Whilst on the home page, you can scroll right down to the bottom of the page to the 'radio' which has 'Free your life with PTV Partner' written across the top.  There are three buttons on the left hand side, click the right one of the three and you can listen to a recorded interview with Garret the admin of PTV which covers the background and vision of PTV Partner and why you should be a part of it.

To get even more of an insight into how PTV Partner is going to develop, click the central button of the three on the left. This really is enlightening!

If you click the first button of the three on the radio, you just get a relaxation audio of the sea shore!


I was attracted to the Prestige plan and put $500 in on the 21st November last year.  I received $450 profit on the 1st January this year, plus my seed money back.  I withdrew the seed money and re-invested the $450 profit in the Prestige plan.  So I was in clear profit after 40 days with an ongoing investment of $450 - an excellent start. I was then in the can't lose situation and have since withdrawn over $1600 and my capital has increased to over $1600.


The payment processors are....


Liberty Reserve, Strictpay, Perfect Money or GlobalDigitalPay


There are more details on my PTV Partner page.

Aballong arbs program - great news they are re-opening to more members and deposits. 


Aballog have now re-opened to new mebers and more deposits.  Here's the news update:


We get many tickets and emails encouraging us to launch the second pool. We are aware that more than 400 New Members joined us 24 hours before we closed the first pool. As we explained we did not accept new registrations, or fundings until we find a quicker and better way to move money between our account, the e-currencies and the bookies. We were trying a few exchangers and found a quite good solution. Martin and I are not sure how much we can handle, but we both feel comfortable enough to launch a second pool with a maximum of $ 100000, so from now until this $ 100000 are reached we allow new registrations and investments. We also credited our Top 3 referrals with a small thank you amount into the second pool.

So if you are already in, you can now fund your account in Pool 2.  If you have not joined, here's the information you need:

Aballong is a new family run program that is one of the few arbitration betting sites that is probably doing actual arbs and shows the arbs on the site - most of the other arbs programs are HYIP ponzi programs.

There's good reviews of Aballong here and here.

You can join at http://www.aballong.com/?ref=474

It is best to use a gmail address for sign-up as they send a verification e-mail immediately.

You can fund your account with AlertPay, Liberty Reserve, STP, Perfect Money, Global Digital pay, bank transfer or credit card, but note that the last two methods need verification of account.


The minimum funding is just $10 and the maximum is $10,000.

Returns are not fixed but based on exactly what their arbs return is each day.  This is usually between 0.8% and 2% a day.  The members receive 85% of Aballongs gross profit %.  Here's what they say.

  • We Bet, and show daily demonstrations of our Bets in the Member Area.
  • You Win almost daily, depending on the games we play.
  • You can contact us 24/7/365 what is more than others offer
  • Liberty Reserve, Alertpay, Strictpay and Perfect Money is offered for unverified clients
  • Liberty Reserve, Alertpay, Strictpay, Perfect Money, Paypal and Bank Wire Transfers is offered for Verified Clients
  • Total Weekly profit between 2%-8% guaranteed - mostly around 6% per week
  • Total Monthly profit between 20%-30% guaranteed - mostly around 24% per month
  • 4% referral Commission for inviting new members (on every investment and reinvestment)
  • You can withdraw your profits daily
Pool 1 filled up pretty quickly and Pool 2 is limited to $50,000, so it may also fill up pretty quicky.

Incidentally, many thanks to those who joined under me.  This allowed me to lead the referral board, and receive a $200 thankyou from Aballong today which I have placed in Pool 2.
