Hyifund.com - Scam

I have some not so great news for anyone who has invested money in Hyifund.com

This highly reputed hyip site that used to pay the interests like clockwork within 24 hours, has now stopped doing so.Not just this, they have introduced a new "Cycler" program, asking people to separately deposit funds into it. Looks like they need more money. "When an investment is made, it goes into the queue, which will be paid off as others join the 110% queue."  That is what is mentioned in how the cycler program will work. I have to say "Sorry Hyifund.com , I am not interested."

I have been checking up in several forums and everyone seems to think that Hyifund.com has indeed turned into a scam. Unless they arise from the ashes like a Phoenix bird, I request you all to stay away from this hyip site. If there are anymore updates, I will let you know.
Happy earnings!

How to identify Scams? - For Newbies and Veterans alike

All of us who experiment with money making programs take risks. When we become members of any money making sites, PTCs, GPT, paid-to-signup, HYIP programs, Forex and so on, we can never be a 100 % sure and say that the site/program will not turn into a "Scam". However, if you have been involved in the money making business long enough, then you can identify the telltale signs of most scams.As a newbie, most of us come across some scams and then learn from our mistakes. Here's hoping that you don't have to encounter too many such scam websites. To help you do just that, I thought I would jot down a check-list to identify scams.

Check-list to Identify SCAMS

1. Payment Proofs: Before joining any site, go to their forum and see if you can spot recent payment proofs. It is important to look out for recent proofs, so you know that the site is still paying its members. Many sites start off OK and then turn into scams. Looking for recent proofs will minimize the risk.If you can't find any in the site's forum, google it.

2. Too Good to be True: If a site seems "too good to be true", then it is probably (not possibly, but probably) "too good to be true". Stay away from sites that say things such as cashout at $500; invest $10 and you get back $5000 in 2 months etc. I leant this from my experience with EZLaptop.com.

3. Copyrights information: At the bottom of the page check for what the copyrights information says. Is it too old? Is it missing? All signs of tentative scams.

4. "Contact Us" page: Most Scam sites have a really lame "Contact Us" page or the page may even be non-existant. So ensure that the information there is at the very least "real-looking".

5. Check Forums: Forums such as Earningplace.com and Invest-World.net are great places to do research before joining any site. Check and find out what sort of experience other members have had with the site you want to join. Are they happy with it? Are they complaining about it? Have the sites' earning rates gone down? You can get very valuable information in such forums.

The last bit of advice that I have is that if you ever do get scammed by any site, leave an Alexa rating and tell people in forums, so that others can learn from your experience. Once this is done, just learn and move on.

Happy earnings! :)

Scam, Scam, Scam! - EZLaptop.com

How would you like to receive your very own laptop absolutely FREE?

That is how the information on EZLaptop.com starts. That itself should have been an indicator to me that it was a scam. *crying, tears, sad*. I had joined this site several months ago and realized that it was a scam, when I did not get any laptop. (lol). But I saw someone asking whether ezlaptop.com was a scam in one of the forums and decided that I should write a post about it. This is a caution for anyone who ever comes across this site and is confused about it.

They claim that you can win a  Sony Vaio Series laptop or a MacBook Pro (wow baby! Those are such hot machines), just by reading emails. Ya right! Like that could ever happen. Well, I fell for it when I was a newbie in the "Online Money-Making Kingdom". The Sony Vaio Series laptop or a MacBook Pro does make you go blind for a minute. If you are a newbie to online money making, it may make you go blind for a slightly longer period.

So spread the word and don't ever fall for this site or other sites that seem too good to be true. If something seems too good to be true and there are no proofs of it working for others, then it is indeed "too good to be true"!
