Capital Corpex HYIP is online again after almost 1 week downtime. Here is their comments regarding this incident:
"On Saturday, 22th Nov, due to some electric problem in our server room, both HDD (Main HDD and Local Backup HDD) of our server failed. We contacted immediately our datacenter support department for replacement. The requested HDD was out of stock and it caused 6 days downtime. Now after 6 days, we made the server online and restored remote backup. Currently everything seems to be fine, all profits from Monday to Thursday are calculated. You can access our website like before, but if you'll find any error or unable to access our website, please contact us immediately."

How to get and keep the "paying" status from Goldpoll Team? There is one way only - stable payments to the program members.
Europe Trade ltd HYIP is situated in our blacklist for lack of profits payments. But if you'll visit the Rate Us page of this program, you'll find Goldpoll's banner with the "paying" status. Of course this is fake banner (you may quickly identify such banner by using our
toolbar). If the admin uses fake banners to attract more investors to the program, then he may use fake paidout statistics, fake votes on forums, etc. It confirms a fraudulent activity of the admin.
Be careful!

Today we can enlarge
the list of phishing websites by few programs, such as:
-
Offshore Forex HYIP;
-
Invest Patiga HYIP;
-
Open Deposit HYIP;
-
Deposit Tower HYIP.
Their admin (we suppose that these HYIPs may belong to one person or group) uses fake SCI (sci.libeTRyreseVRe.com) page. Be careful!

November 26, 2008 | Wednesday
A Forbes magazine report says government authorities are preparing to unveil a new multicount fraud and money laundering indictment against James Fayed and his gold-trading companies, Goldfinger Coin & Bullion and e-Bullion. However, the attorney representing the now-shuttered companies has told the Standard that he has not seen any new evidence, and further stated that the IRS and FBI seizure of approximately $24 million from the firms in August was not authorized.
The Forbes report was published over the weekend and suggests that the scope of Fayed's alleged illegal activities was much larger than originally claimed by the government. The report, quoting unnamed authorities, says that from 2002 Fayed allowed e-Bullion to become a conduit for dozens of high-yield investment plans (HYIP), international ponzi schemes organized through the Internet. In addition, the Forbes report says Fayed issued digital gold currency in excess of e-Bullion's supposed physical gold holdings.
An unnamed source cited by Forbes says Fayed will soon be charged in a "multicount grand jury indictment accusing him of fraud and money laundering." Fayed is currently being held on murder charges relating to the July 28 slashing death of his wife and e-Bullion co-owner Pamela Fayed.
The Standard has asked the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles to confirm whether new grand jury charges are pending, but has yet to receive a reply.
James Spertus, the attorney representing e-Bullion and Goldfinger, told the Standard he had not heard of any new evidence or indictments, and expressed shock at the way the government has handled the case.
When asked about the allegations in Forbes that e-Bullion and Goldfinger were closely tied to HYIP scams, the attorney said they represented a "ridiculous allegation." Spertus said that prosecutors routinely request information from banks whose clients are allegedly involved in money laundering, but the financial institutions themselves are not charged. "We fully cooperated with the government when they asked us who the account holders were," he noted.
Spertus criticized the government's seizure of gold and other funds from the offices of e-Bullion and Goldfinger on August 5. "The government had no lawful authority to seize account holders' assets," he declared. "The government did not have a seizure warrant, and the search warrant did not authorize the seizure of the gold."
According to Spertus, the government is now trying to use a "forfeiture theory" to justify keeping the assets. He said that the U.S. District Court had refused to hear the motion for the return of assets, adding that the delays were denying his client the right to a speedy trial.
Spertus also revealed that he could no longer represent e-Bullion or Goldfinger in court, because the government claimed that he had a conflict of interest involving the companies' customers. "I cannot appear at trial ... I am no longer permitted to file on behalf of the company, because of the conflict of interest issue," he said, adding that he was now looking for another law firm to represent the companies.

A federal judge decided on Thursday not to impose a prison sentence on the senior directors of E-Gold, an Internet-based digital currency firm, who had previously pleaded guilty to violations of money laundering and running an unlicensed money transmitting business.
The three directors of E-Gold, in addition to its Gold & Silver Reserve parent company, were indicted in April 2007 after federal prosecutors accused the online payment site of being a haven for criminal activity like processing investment scams and payments for child pornography. They said its loose verification standards for users' identity attracted criminals.
The three men and the companies pleaded guilty to the charges in July 2008.
U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer said the men deserved lenient sentences because they did not intend to engage in illegal activity. Even though, Collyer said, the U.S. Justice Department wanted to use the cases to show "this new day of Internet crime is going to be... vigorously prosecuted," that alone was not enough reason to incarcerate the defendants.
Gold & Silver Reserve CEO Douglas Jackson was sentenced to 300 hours of community service, a $200 fine, and three years of supervision, including six months of electronically-monitored home detention. He had faced a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
Jackson was spared a heavier fine because, according to his attorney, he's deeply in debt. "Dr. Jackson has suffered, will continue to suffer, and may never be successful with E-Gold," the judge said.
Reid Jackson, Douglas Jackson's brother, and E-Gold director Barry Downey were each sentenced to three years of probation, 300 hours of community service. They also were ordered to pay a $2,500 fine and a $100 assessment fee each.
The defendants were also ordered to obtain licenses to do business in the states in which a license is required, something the company had already begun doing. In September, E-Gold hired KPMG to aid its development of an anti-money laundering program; it has already contacted every state to determine whether a license is needed.
E-Gold and Gold & Silver Reserve faced a maximum fine of $3.7 million but because neither company could pay that much, they were fined $300,000 with the condition that $10,000 be paid on November 24, with further monthly payments to start in May 2009.
Many of E-Gold's users turned to it as an alternative to a bank account denominated in U.S. dollars, which lose money due to inflation especially when interest rates are low. By contrast, gold has zoomed upwards from roughly $300 an ounce in 2002 to around $750 an ounce today.
Supporters of E-Gold and gold-denominated accounts have suggested that enabling nearly-anonymous transfers of money in and out of the banking system is what led the Feds to target the company. For his part, Jackson initially blasted the Feds, saying the Secret Service "deceived" a judge with "bogus testimony" so they could conduct a raid on E-Gold designed to put it out of business.
Federal prosecutors claimed there was no doubt the directors knew E-Gold facilitates criminal activity. An analysis in January 2008 of the 65 most valuable E-Gold accounts showed that more than 70 percent were involved in criminal activity, according to Laurel Rimon, a Justice Department prosecutor.
Furthermore, prosecutors said, the funds that flow through E-Gold, which launched in 1996, are significant. At its height, the site had more than 4 million accounts and facilitated more than $5 million fund transfers a day.
Though illegal activity continued on E-Gold well after Douglas Jackson acknowledged the company was under investigation in 2004, the defendants claimed that they received bad legal counsel, which convinced them the site did not have to be licensed as a money transmitting business.
"If he had thought it needed to be licensed, he would have done everything in his power to make that happen," Federal Public Defender Michelle Peterson said about Reid Jackson.
The court also accepted the argument that Downey was unaware of the company's need for a license, even though he is a practicing lawyer.
The defendants also argued they have worked to the best of their abilities to cooperate with investigators, but the prosecutors provided evidence that the directors may have been trying to circumspect government interference.
The company was incorporated in Bermuda, for instance, even though its operations are based out of Melbourne, Fla. Barry Pollack, Downey's defense attorney, said the site's offshore registry did not impede the directors from responding to subpoenas. (If the site had been entirely overseas, as GoldMoney.com is, it wouldn't have had to worry about the Feds. On the other hand, GoldMoney does demand proof of identity.)
Douglas Jackson founded the site on a philosophy opposed to government regulation, prosecutors said. "Dr. Jackson was very candid about his vision to create a version of a financial institution that didn't have regulations," prosecutor Jonathan Haray said.
Intentions and philosophies notwithstanding, the defense said, the defendants should remain out of jail so they could keep the site up and running and continue to help investigators track criminals. E-Gold's records of IP addresses and timestamps provide a trail to criminals--and proof the company had no intention of inviting criminal activity, the defense said.
The prosecution questioned how useful E-Gold's cooperation really was.
"The vast majority (of IP addresses from E-Gold) don't have good identifying information," said Rimon. "If an IP address leads to a P.O. Box on a street corner in Estonia, that doesn't do us much good, and that's what we found in many cases."
E-Gold remains open for business today, though Jackson said in an announcement on November 14 that it was still figuring out how to comply with the registration process for new accounts now that it's subject to regulation as a "financial institution." New account creation is "temporarily suspended."

A few minutes ago I've got an email from the admin of Torinvestment.com with a request to list this program on our site. But I will refuse the request.
Their offer of "200-250% after 1 minute" is the first reason to avoid the program. Also I've found fake SCI (sci.libertyreZerve.com), that's the second reason to stay away from this SCAM.
Moreover the admin had the effrontery to demand a position for the program (which has all signs of a fraudulent activity) on our site.
Be careful!

Please stay away from

What do you think about returns of 500% after 1 minute?
You are right, the offer is absolutely impossible. Nevertheless there are programs where you may meet such investment plans. For example, Heavenlymoney.info
Let's make a small inspection of this program. There are 2 investment plans, such as 500% after 1 minute and 1500% after 1 hour. The offer produces an impression, isn't it? It's time to remember the well known saying - "If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is." Let's go on. I've created an account and tried to invest. The program script has redirected me to fake Shopping Cart Interface (sci.liibertyrezerve.com). If so, then this site must be recognized as PHISHING site and must be added to
this list.
So we've got 2 reasons (fake SCI and the incredible investment plan) to avoid any deals with Heavenly Money HYIP. An interesting fact, I've counted 13 banners of various monitors with the "paying" status. Be careful!

We would like to extend the list of phishing websites that was announced on
November 10:
- megasot.com
- vogiz.com
- big-percent.com
- jifond.com
- 500-dollars.com
- hoursmoney.com
- salekars.com
- homeroys.com
- moneys-profit.com
- daytennisbet.com
- porosnok.com
- monorzi.com
- mysterious-money.com
- poker350.com
- yakello.com
These sites use the same tactics (fake Shopping Cart Interface) to steal your private data (such as Login, PIN, Password) as the websites from our
previous warning report.
But not only these HYIPs were created to get your data. By this scammer's group was launched one e-currency exchange service (Moment-exchange.com) with the same phishing tactics.
Even simple internet surfing must be taken into consideration, because some phishing sites allow to download and install a various spyware on your system. If you've already opened/visited any of the listed above sites, please check the following files on your PC: C:\WINDOWS\system32\~.exe and C:\Program Files\Mozilla\i6e1u8.exe . These files should be removed immediately.
Be careful!

"If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is", the well known saying which became one of the main rules in the HYIP World. Any HYIP offering ridiculous daily returns like up to 500% interest per day can't be classed as a trustworthy program. Nevertheless there are people who tries to get extra money by investing in such programs.
- Vbvtrade.com
- Blue-Profit.com
One member of these HYIPs reported that their admins didn't pay. This no wonder, their investment offer is really impossible - 1000% after 1 day. Stay Alert!

Today I would like to talk about Voetrade.net HYIP.
Two days ago we got a promo email or SPAM with the offer to invest in this program. This program isn't being monitored by GoldPoll, but I decided to make a quick analysis. The first thing that I found on the main page was their investment plans:
- 300-500% after 1 hour;
- 1000% After 5 days;
It is a very huge income. In most cases an admin never pays such huge profits to the program members. At the same time there is one plan which may cause a misunderstanding. I mean the "Monitor" plan. Usually such plans are using for Rating sites. Just look into the profits rates of this plan: 0.5-10% daily.
It's easy to pay such profits (0.5%) to a rating site in order to get the "paying" status. The "RateUs" page contains some banners with the "paying" status. Of course, some monitors including Goldpoll don't monitor the program by investing in any special plan for monitors, but there is a probability that some rating site put the "paying" status which based on the received payment from the special plan.
