It is impossible to totally avoid HYIP scams since recent statistics revealed that over 95% of HYIP’s/Gold Games run off
with some of their member’s money. However, you can reduce the risk quite a bit by simply following the steps I outline below:
1. Ask the Admin for as much personal information as possible. Also, check out all the information he/she provides. If he/she gives a phone number, then give them a call. If an address is given, then check it out for authenticity by looking at online phonebooks, and other databases. The more information that is available, the less likely it is that the admin will take the chance of scamming hundreds of people out of their investments.
2. Beware of the followings:
- Look to see if the site is at it’s own domain name or if it’s at a free anonymous subdomain. Many scam sites tend to use various free hosting sites that allow them to make their own site without registering a domain name, thus remaining anonymous.
- Is the HYIP spamming you or others by emailing hundreds or thousands of individuals with their advertisement? If they are breaking the law by spamming hundreds or thousands of people, then how can you trust them with your hard earned money. Criminals are criminals whether it is a small crime like email spam or a more serious crime such as fraud, theft or scamming.
3. Check out the various Forums, Message boards and ratings sites for as much info as you can find. I know that many forums and ratings boards can be manipulated; however I also realize the value of peoples opinions. You will never be able to completely avoid scams, but you can learn to improve your odds of increasing your profit.
After the failure of a few programs, and some scares in a few others, it has angered us greatly at the degree of ignorance some HYIP investors have. Recently many individuals have complained to E-Gold.com about certain programs, some which collapsed and some which had only glitches in their systems. Many ignorant HYIP investors often
email E-Gold with complaints of scams, ponzi’s, and fraudulent sites. What are these people thinking? They should know that any HYIP that they put their money into has a high risk of de-railing eventually. Remember high Yield also means high risk. If you are going to gamble on any HYIP, you have to realize that not every one will last long enough to make you a profit. Another thing that angers me. Many HYIP’s have small down times. Down times of 2-3 days are not uncommon due to server problems, script problems, etc. Many individuals feel it is appropriate to run off and call a program a scam, reporting it to e-gold, after only 2 or 3 days of it being offline.
This is not going to help you a bit. It will only cause E-gold to freeze the main account of the HYIP, which could cause
the HYIP to close prematurely.
To sum things up. If you are going to take the risk of investing in an HYIP, then invest your money with the same mindset as if you were playing BlackJack in a casino. If you win, great! If you lose, oh well, it is money you can afford to play with. When a program closes, or has a downtime, quitely take your money and walk away. Complaining to E-Gold
will not do anything except throw the whole HYIP market into a tailspin.
HYIP, which stands for High Yield Investment Program is just what it sounds like, a program offering a high yield investment. HYIP’s are offering probably the most profitable investments available today. Interest rates of up to 100% a monthis not uncommon. In general the interest rates are ranging anywhere between 5 – 250% a month.
HYIP’s are using different investment strategies. Some invest in stocks, others in property. There are even HYIPs investing in other HYIPs. Probably there are also programs that are not investing at all. These belong to the scammers. You’ll read more about unserious HYIPs further down this text.
Most HYIP’s use different e-currencies as their way of accepting funds from members. E-gold is undoubtedly the most commonly used one hence the many program names containing “Gold” or “E-gold”. E-currencies makes instant and secure money transfers possible online and have very much paved the way for HYIP’s.
The phenomenon of Hyips is growing bigger and bigger on the internet today. Every day new programs are being launched. Lots of people are earning fortunes investing in these programs.
Sounds too good to be true?
Well, while the statements above are not lies, they don’t give you the whole picture. Many program owners are scammers. Their only will is to run with your money. There are more scams out there than serious long
term programs.Over the years large amounts of people have lost their money as a result of being involved in High Yield Investment Programs.
Given the fact that the HYIP industry is a very risky one, most people are very hesitant when it comes to investing in HYIP’s – which is legitimate. However, not being aware of the risks is the main reason why people are losing their money. There is a great number of cases where people have thought they’ve found an incredible opportunity and gladly
invested their entire fortune. When the programs later went out of business, the consequences have been devastating.
Although there are unserious players in all markets, the HYIP arena seem to have more of them than many other industries. The reason for this is the big amounts of money involved and the fact that it’s pretty easy
to steal money on the net. Taking both the negative and positive aspects of High Yield Investments into consideration, the conclusion is; If done right, High Yield Investments can be extremely lucrative.
This is where we come into play. We are constantly studying and researching the market. We are also investing in a number of HYIP’s to be able to analyze them and keep track of their payments.
How to start your investment on HYIP and related site?
When you begin starting an investment, you may find yourself wondering where you should begin. You may have heard friends or co workers talking about their investments, and decided you should give it a try. You may have also found yourself wondering where they got the money to start or how they knew what to invest in. Then again, there are
a lot of people who don’t know where to begin, so they never start at all.
The wide array of investment related choices, the vast amount of information about investing, and the risk alone is intimidating and may prevent you from taking those first steps towards starting an investment. Keep in mind that is doesn’t have to be that way. Believe it or not, you only need to know a few basics in order to begin your
career in the world of investing.
The first question most people have is where you get the money to invest. If you look around, you will find plenty of stock mutual funds that allow you to invest with 500 dollars or less. You could use your next bonus at work, your income tax refund, or simply put in some overtime for some extra cash. If you are unable to come up with 500 dollars to
start your portfolio, many funds will allow you to skip the initial lump sum investment if you sign up for monthly withdrawals from your checking account.
When starting an investment, you are ready for some long term investments. The step in choosing is knowing what your goals are. The investment type you choose will depend on the amount of time available before you need the money. Most all stocks are considered long term investments, and therefore it’s best to plan on holding stocks or
stock mutual funds for five years or longer.
The next thing you will need to know when starting an investment is your risk tolerance. If you’re the type of person that hides your money under your mattress because you don’t trust the bank, you’re probably not going to feel very comfortable investing in volatile technology stocks.
Now, you may be wondering how to choose an investment. Most investors and experts will recommend spreading your money over several different types of investments in order to reduce the risk, because one type of investment typically does well when another one doesn’t. By having money in more than one type of fund, you’re more likely to get a
decent combined return in one category takes a downturn.
When you are ready to begin starting an investment, you should use caution and research everything that is available to you. The above will assist you in getting started; the rest is up to you.

Maintaining a wide investment portfolio is the key to success in HYIP investments. You can never predict when a program will close and even the most solid HYIP programs were closed suddenly, when
no one expected it.
In HYIP arena there can be no program without risk, no stable investment can pay you so much, though there are more reliable programs and less reliable ones. The best strategy involves both of them.
So, now you see that there are two different strategies when dealing with HYIPs:
Invest in old and reliable programs.By reliable programs we usually mean programs with reasonable daily interest of up to 1% and a positive long rerm payout record of at least a year (regular ponzi hyips usually don’t exist that much). Also the program should be a Real HYIP, with unique and professional site design and highly efficient members support. The program should be a registered company.
Invest in new HYIPsNew HYIPs are opened every day, you just need to find those that can allow you to earn before they are closed. For example several 6% HYIPs (EuroYenHyip, DutchService, gHyip etc) lasted for over
months and if you were lucky to join those HYIPs at the beginning, you could have earned and easy 500-600% in 3 months. Another example is Invex, which paid its members for over half a year and enabled you to double your money in just 4-6 weeks.
If you manage to invest in a new HYIP and get your money out fast enough, you can be rich!
Now when you know the two techniques it’s up to you to decide how you will implement them to your investment portfolio.
Choosing your investment portfolio is the most important stage of your investment strategy. Before you start spreading
your money, stop and think about your strategy, try to answer this simple question: Are you willing to take risk and earn more or would you like to stick to more reliable programs, but earn less?
If you choose the last option, stick to programs paying near 1% daily or less. On the other hand, if risk is for you,
invest in high percentage HYIPs too.
The optimal strategy is to invest at least half of your money in few reliable program, with good payout history of at least
a year and use the rest to get into every new and promising hyip, which can let you earn some money before it closes.
The gold rule of managing a successful investment portfolio is simple: try to invest amount of money proportional
to the programs credibility. If the HYIP seems solid to you (after you have done your own due diligence, of course) – make a serious investment, but if you don’t have much confidence in the program you may just put in some money to see if you got paid, and if do – invest more.
HYIP Investment involves a great deal of risk. Absolutely no HYIP can guarantee any profits and if it does, don’t
believe it, the program is most certanly a scam. Investing in HYIPs you risk to lose your money every day – when a program closes it happens suddenly, at the moment when most investors don’t expect it (though experienced HYIP traders usually know when they should take the money out the program, before it closes).
If you’ve decided to invest in HYIPs, you should be ready for that kind of risk, but the risk here well worth the prize. You
cannot expect to make any substantial return if you are not prepared to accept a certain amount of risk. Your gain is usually proportional to the risk – you can either earn very high daily interest with enormous amount of risk, or make the same interest but every month with a considerable risk level.
Estimating risk may be a difficult challenge mostly because finding the real information about the program is not easy, you can’t completely trust anyone when dealing with HYIPs. But certain point should be considered, for example, new HYIPs present much higher risk than those that have already proven their long term intentions by at
least a year of positive payout history.
HYIP administrators should also explain how they intend to generate the quoted returns, unwillingness to disclose such
information by the program owners doesn’t add to the program’s good reputation. Beware of any program that refuses to provide information about its investing strategy.
When you know where the program is investing to gain high returns, you may use the knowledge to estimate potential risks by defining how real certain interest can be in the given market. For example a program trading at FOREX can hardly generate 5% daily, while 5-15% monthly can be achieved by an experienced trader with a reasonable
amount of risk.
Another important factor in estimating a program’s risk is an average lifetime of similar program. For expamle a program paying 3-4% daily, using a professional unique design and well advertised can last at least for several months, so it can still be safe to invest in it during its first or second month, but investing after the program has been online for over 3-4 months may be very dangerous. Nevertheless, programs paying around 1% daily may last for much longer
time, even for several years.
Referral comissions and payment processors fees are also very important. Program paying very high referral comissions is not
likely to run for a long time. All serious programs also have reasonable minimum investment thresholds (of around $50) and payment fees (up to 5%).
Program website, which is updated frequently indicates a more professional attitude. Frequency of admin updates is
usually proportional to the interest paid to members – programs paying high interest may provide their members updates several times a week, while others, paying lower returns may only update their members once a month.
Your experience is vital to estimate the risks involved in HYIP investing, after considering all the above points your
intuition may play a key role in deciding whether to invest in certain program, or no
