Real HYIP Programs
Investment-HYIP.info
99% of all HYIPs are scams and simple ponzi schemes
As you may already know from our previous articles, almost all of the HYIPs
are scams, pure ponzi schemes. These HYIPs don't invest the money anywhere, promise high returns and collapse few weeks - few months after they've started operating.
Most of these programs use the same premade script, which can easily be installed and configured. Beginning investor may find it difficult to distinguish such HYIPs from real ones, but as your online investing experience grows, you will be more careful.
After first few months I was able to find out which HYIPs are the real ones and which of them would dissapear soon with a high degree of certainty. In this article I'll try to show you how to find the real trading programs.
What is a Real HYIP?
By real HYIP we usually mean those programs which actually invest the money deposited by their members. The money may be invested in forex trading, in offshore schemes or even in offline businesses, but it should be invested.
Some of the programs may invest the money to other hyip programs or funds - these are mutual funds. To make sure the program is a real and trading is indeed involved you need to see the trading results and investment records, but a program owner will never reveal wher he invests the money to (unless it's a mutual fund - then it always provides information about its investments).
Besides, a ponzi program owner will never tell you that his program is a ponzi (have you every seen a HYIP, telling it's a ponzi hyip?). So you see now, that defining a real HYIP is not an easy problem, but there are few things that should be considered.
Ponzi HYIP may be described by the following
* use a known template
- most of simple ponzi HYIPs use one of the few know templates, which are very cheap
* spend much on advertising
- real program usually don't need much advertising
* high returns
- this is the easiest criteria, if you see a program offering 15% daily - it's a 100% ponzi
* high referral percents
- more than 10% referral fees should rise your suspicions.
* was recently openned
- Investing in new HYIPs is very dangerous, even if it promises you 35% daily, it may not be there tomorrow..
* is promoted by spam
- Never register to any program promoted by spam.
* hosted at a free site
- I've seen a lot of scammers hosting their HYIPs at free domains, hard to believe but there are people who invest in those HYIPs too. You may usually get spam message promoting some of those HYIPs.
Real HYIP may be described by the following
* good and unique site design
- almost all real programs use custom designs and these scripts are also rather expensive
* technical support is usually very efficient
- real program owners usually try to answer on your emails as fast as possible
* is online for a long time (over a year)
- the older a program is, the more confident it is
* reasonable percents and referral fees
- 0.5-1% daily is a safety margin. referral fees are usually 2-10%
* any certifying documents
- thousands of companies offer certificates to other sites, it can prove the owners identity
* disclosed information about the owners
- if a HYIP owner calls himself "admin", he is most likely not a professional investor..
While by these simple principles you may easily find lots of scam programs, they are not enough to reveal serious scammers and should only be used as a reference, not a guide or an algorithm to verify the HYIP.
However, the more information you know and the more HYIP related articles you read the easier it will be for you to stay away from those ponzi programs and to stick to real HYIPs only.
Try to define your own measures for an honest HYIP, you will see that it's not so difficult to find out the real programs when you have some experience and a lot of sources of information. Always apply your own HYIP investigation, before considering a significant investment.
Good Luck in your Real HYIP investments.
