HYIPS Red Flags: Signs of Impending Scam

Most HYIP veterans know to well the tell tale signs of an impending scam. However, while they generally may not be able to prevent a HYIP from scamming, they know very well not to add fresh funds, and they generally make attempts to withdraw as much and as often as possible. However, for the benefit of those who may be new to the tricky world of HYIP investment, below are some of the red flags that indicate that a HYIP is about to scam. This is by no means an exhaustive and they are listed in no particular order of importance.

1. Vanishing Features of a HYIP
One of the greatest asset of a HYIP is confidence. A HYIP with certain features like Green-bar SSL, identity assurance, Anti-DDOS etc tend to exude investors confidence. The moment any or all of these features disappear for any reason, including maintenance, change of server, etc one should begin to worry about impending scam.

2. Login Challenges
I have rarely seen a HYIP with serious login challenges lasting quite long. The most likely reason for such challenges may be that the HYIP admin is running the site using bare-bone resources, as he wouldn’t like to invest so much on a ‘temporarily’ program. For all you know, it might be a laptop servers, with thousands of investors scrambling to connect and creating partial denial of service with their attempts.
3. Delayed Payement
This perhaps is one of the oldest tricks in the book. A HYIP admin seeking to maximize his loot from a HYIP scam may pay a few investors (usually monitors) while keeping the bulk of the investors waiting, and at the same time accept fresh fund. The waiting period avails the admin the opportunity to make more money in the event of scam. When payments are delayed, the best course of action to take is to avoid adding fresh fund.


4. New and ‘exciting short term plans’
Perhaps what I failed to add to the title is that this new plan are often introduced when a HYIP is about to come to the end of a cycle especially in Long Term HYIPs which promise to refund initial capital. Obviously the plan here is not to refund the initial investment, while taking more money from gullible new investors who have been promised mouth-watering returns in a very short term. Essentially, the approaching end of a cycle of HYIP plan which promises to refund initial capital is a time for great apprehension; it is the time not to add fresh fund.

5. Change of Ownership
When a HYIP change ownership and name, one should be very careful trusting the new owners to live up to the billing of the old. It is possible the old owner wants to protect his or herself against prosecution, protect an image etc hence the need to sell of a HYIP. At this time trusting the new owners must be done with absolute skepticism.

There are many more tell tale signs of impending scam. It is very important therefore that one visits forums and do simple search on the health of the HYIP before parting with fund. Lucky HYIPing!

ProfitClicking (previously JustBeenPaid): A Scam or not? – Another review

I have been skeptical since the acquisition of Just Been Paid (JBP) by ProfitClicking and the exit Fredrick Mann. The prolong transition period also did not help investor’s confidence. But it appears many of the teething challenges have been surmounted by the new ProfitClicking team. I also have received my first payment from Profitclicking since 4th October 2015. Federick Mann recent reassurance also helped calmed a lot of frayed nerves. In my opinion ProfitClicking is set to take its respected place in the world of online money making opportunities, just like it's predecessor - JustBeenPaid. ProfitClicking is NOT yet a SCAM. It’s time to sign-up (if you have not) and to start taking advantage of the opportunities presented by the program.

How ProfitClicking works:
For those who don’t understand how ProfitClicking works, let me briefly explain. ProfitClicking after acquiring the patented JustBeenPaid program, transformed into a money making traffic exchange program. In other words, ProfitClicking promotes websites of members, while at the same time makes them money. Here is a summary of how ProfitClicking works.

Sign Up.
1. You sign up to ProfitClicking (typical like signing up for an email address)
2. ProfitClicking pays you $10 (which is available for your use for 45 days)
3. You further fund your account (via a payment processors like Liberty Reserve, Ego Pay, Solid Trust Pay etc) and purchase AD Package to further your chance of faster growth
4. You use the fund to purchase AD Packages which is the basis of the program
5. You may also purchase PC PANELS each worth $20, which eventually when finalized earns your 60 dollar (more on this later)

Your responsibility
You login every now and then to ProfitClicking to:
1. Visit/view at least 3 website of daily (viewing more than 3 sites creates reserve for future use)
2. Withdraw your earnings (if you have earned up to $20 or purchase more AD Packages with $10 each)
3. You earn referral commission by inviting new members to join ProfitClicking with your referral link

ProfitClicking's Responsibility
ProfitClicking will:
1. Pay you 20 cents (0.20 dollar) every weekday for every Ad Packages (worth $10) you have, or 10 cents (0.10 dollar) on weekends for 81 days.
2. ProfitClicking will push expired AD Packages to the PC Panel to earn you additional income
3. ProfitClicking will ensure stability, and sustainability of their system, using their RESTART feature

This is a brief summary of ProfitClicking online money making opportunity. It's time to further diversify your HYIP portfolio. If you have not signed up already and claimed your $10, you can do so here and NOW.…

I wish you profitable clicking…

HYIP: Between the old and new

Ordinarily, the simplest method of investing in HYIPs is to pick new promising ones, invest what you can afford to lose, take your profit (or loss as might be the case) and bale out! This advise has stood the test of time, in the very volatile world of HYIPs, where lifespan of most HYIPs are often measured in weeks, or months.

It will sound counter intuitive then if I suggest that at times it is a good practice to go with the tested and trusted – in other word, older reliable HYIPs. Perhaps with a little reflection (or with benefit of hindsight), it is not totally a bad idea to invest in such old HYIPs. It is rather in line with the principle of diversification of portfolio - a good financial practice, in the case between the old and the new.

A few examples are JUSTBEENPAID (now ProfitClicking) which have been around for over four (4) years, UInvest waxing strong since 2010, and Permanent Fund which has clocked slightly over two (2) years online. Essentially, these programs have passed through thick, and thin, evolved and have become a brand – to an extent that they have become hard to kill. Don’t get me wrong, no HYIP should be trusted, and they will go in a puff, sooner or later, however longevity increases experience, reliability and reputation. Wines mature with time.

Hence as part of an overall HYIP strategy, dropping a dollar or two in some of these old reliable HYIPs, most often than not comes out good. Yet, you MUST not invest what you cannot afford to lose. May fortune smile on you!
