Hola mis amigos!

I have so much to tell you today with regard to the newest addition to our lovely list of programs, that without further ado... Here we go!

NEW PROGRAMS: SILVEROZ, 40DAYSFOREX, ADRO CAPITAL, VICTOR TRANSPORT, FINSTEEL GMI

To start with, SilverOz which, according to its website, “holds strong positions on the world market of silver production and trading” and was named so that we’d remember that ounce (or “oz”) is “a common measure of precious and semi-precious metals and bullion coins”, at the time being holds a waiting status on money-monitor’s list. With a domain created in March 2013 that expires within 5 years, it may seem that SilverOz plans on staying here for a while. The SLL certificate issued by Thawte on April 10, 2013, however, expires within a year, so you never know.

What we do know is that the rules are simple: you invest $1-$25000 for 150 days and you get 2% daily. Compounding is available and so is a returnable principal. Payouts should not take more than 24 hours and start at $0.01. You can use all the most commonly recognized payment processors, that is STP, PM, LR, EgoPay and the payments are done instantly.

Another new “waiting” addition, 40DaysForex, does not seem as optimistic about its longevity as the previous one. I mean, naming a program “40 days” does not boost one’s confidence, right? 40DaysForex domain was created just recently, on May 14, 2013, and expires within a year. With what looks like a partially implemented Comodo Positive SSL certificate also issued on May 14 and which expires within a year as well, 40DaysForex sends a very concise message. This “international investment company” offers 3.5%-4% daily payouts for 40 calendar days or 1.4%-2% daily for 40 days. It takes at least $20 to start investing, but only $0.1 to start withdrawing (shouldn’t take more than 12 hours) the money using all the major players (STP, PM, LR, EgoPay). The principal can be withdrawn afterwards.

The first thus far paying program on today’s list, ADRO Capital Ltd., provides one with “solutions [...] to generate returns without any need to have the ability, experience or knowledge in Forex trading”. The minimum investment is set at an unusual number, $9, and there is no maximum. ADRO Capital can pride itself in having an extremely well-developed and user-friendly website secured with a one-year valid Comodo High-Assurance Secure Server certificate issued on April 19, 2013.

Since there isn't much that I know about metals that are not adorned with precious stones and can be worn regardless of the season, this time I think I'm just going straight to the point. Why, you ask?

Well, if you're an expert at steel from Finland, feel free to jump anytime you want. Wait, you can’t, sorry. See? You just have to sit there and read my ramblings.

First of all, you need to know that “the best way to get exposure to steel is by investing in companies that produce steel, specifically globally integrated steel companies”. Did you know that, amigos? I sure as you-know-what didn’t. According to FINSTEEL Global Mind Investment’s official website, that’s the way to go. What you should also bear in mind is that “not all of the leading companies are available for investment”, because “some of the top steel-producing operations are private” while “others trade on foreign exchanges that do not issue American Depository Receipts (ADRs)”. I’m somewhat confident that it’s all news to you, right? So far I kind of feel like I’m just watching a foreign movie without subtitles, how about you? Fortunately, FINSTEEL’s website is truly straightforward, as if in anticipation of such problems, one may start to think...

you have probably deduced by now, the name of the company might be understood quite literally: it may a company that deal with steel from the lovely, albeit rather cold, country called Finland or it may be all about the finances as well as the steel. In addition to being simple, finsteel.biz is a neatly designed website. With one of the most “on message” sliders I’ve ever seen, the colors are bright and appealing, and the whole browsing experience is fairly pleasant. Nevertheless, there is not much to read there, which I always find more or less annoying, depending on the quality of the reading material at hand. Here, it’s less irritating than usually, but since I know nothing about the steel business per se, I would greatly appreciate some less general information.

Hola mis amigos!

Unfortunately, perhaps due to the lovely weather circumstances, it has been a week full of drama and troubles. I mean three programs have been awarded with the PROBLEM award and one got the prestigious NOT PAYING statuette.

Congrats, you guys, thanks to you my faith in humanity is, well, disappearing at a quicker rate. So, let’s start with some good news, amigos.

NEW PROGRAMS ADDED: AMAZING6, PROFIT UNION, ROULETTE GURU

I don’t know if Amazing6 is trying to join the most popular trend right now, that is the superhero mania, but if so, then they’re right on the money. I mean, reportedly the newest Iron Man franchise is just killing it everywhere. While it’s hard to say what’s so amazing about Amazing6 since it has been online no more than a couple of weeks, what one can say that it managed to achieve the PAYING status on our list within just 20 hours. Let’s dish out some more facts: Amazing6 accepts all the major players: STP, EgoPay, LR, PM, a whois search leaves you not only with a date (domain was created in 2012 and expires in 2015), but also with an actual contact (Milan Glista, Janackova 52, Ostrava, Czech Republic).

In addition to this, the website is extremely well-secured with an actual and real, one-year valid Extended Validation SSL certificate issued by DigiCert Inc. on April 19, 2013, DigiCertHigh Assurance EV CA-1. What’s more, the company indulges us with a legal address: 286 Euston Road, London, as well as a phone number: +448448028557. However, while the reading materials that can be found on the website are thoroughly enjoyable and well-written, the gist is rather hard to find: “with many specialized tools at hands we provide all interested investors with a wide variety of opportunities. The new investments platform developed and promoted by our financial managers does integrate perfectly in the world of online trading”. Still, the rules of the program are pretty straightforward: 106% after 6 days or 6% daily for 24 days. The interest is paid every calendar day, the minimum investment is $10 (non-returnable) and minimum to withdraw is $0.01. According to the well-developed FAQ section, “most of the transactions are instant, but in some cases it may take up to 24 hours”. The affiliate program pays 3-6% commission, “depending on plan”, and is paid “from every amount your referral has deposited with Amazing6”.

ProfitUnion, another new addition, is also somewhat generous as far as the referral commission is concerned: you get 5% for recommending the service to others. To add to this, ProfitUnion is also rather charitable when it comes to sharing information: “ProfitUnion company history dates back to 2010, it was founded by a group of prospective traders”, “today ProfitUnion operates 10 branches in 3 regions”, its headquarters are in New Zealand (8 Haultain St, Mt Eden, Auckland 1024) and is in the Forex business. The domain was created on April 24, 2013 and is valid for a year. The website is secured with a four-year-valid GlobalSign Organization Validation certificate issued by GlobalSign on May 7, 2013.

Hola mis amigos!

Amidst all the programs that keep on emerging, it’s getting harder and harder to discern between all the “sunshine”, “riches”, “success”, “opportunities” and other collocations with which they try to brand our brains.

I mean, I get it, guys, they’re trying to sell a product just like everybody else, but it would be amazing if they cracked a dictionary now and then and just think of something different. Or, another choice, open a dictionary of quotations, that’s an equally wise choice. Which is – coincidentally, right? – what today’s protagonists seem to have done.

Let’s start with the facts, though, amigos. First of all, Roulette GURU is an unregistered company that does not denounce this very fact, which is unusual in itself. What we do know about Roulette GURU is that the “registrant contact” with which a whois search provides us is “No. 61 Wanghai Road, Xiamen Software Park xiamen fujian 361008”. The website, however, informs us that the whole “reliable Roulette system” was developed by Sebastian Blitzer and Peter Herlinger. Yes, those are German names, as far as one can tell. The whole origins story is simple: poor students, money was short, “some decent extra bucks” were always appreciated. Fast forwarding to now, “what started as a hobby well over a decade ago, has [...] become a profitable full time occupation”.

What we also know is that the domain has been created just recently, on April 12, 2013, and expires within a year. Also, according to Roulette’s page, the website is also “protected by BlockDOS against DDoS attacks” and secured with the standard, one-year, Comodo-issued PositiveSSL certificate valid since April 26, 2013. If you need more information regarding the company or the program, you should peruse the well-prepared FAQ section which answers pretty much all the questions you may have.

Amigos, now that we’re done with the stone cold facts, let’s divulge into the search for what I love the most, namely the details. To start with, the website is quite user-friendly and provides a potential member with all the necessary information. While it may not the most innovative or graphically sophisticated page, it is not entirely unappealing. As promised in the introduction, the creators have found a rather creative way to combine their idea with some well-known theories and they did it by means of a quote. The choice of the “speaker” speaks volumes not only of the creators, but also of their PR sense.

After all, Stephen Hawking is truly beloved and respected, not to mention, immensely popular right now. However, it would have been nice to, ekhm, wait for it, spell his name correctly, now wouldn’t it?! Dear Roulette GURU, let me assure you that it is, in fact, spelled Stephen Hawking NOT Stephen Hawkins, OK? If you do not trust me, try and google the name.

Still, in today’s world of dyslexia and dys-everything, I normally tend to be rather lenient as far as spelling is concerned, but when you actually quote somebody, it would be really, honestly, totally cool if you could spell his name right. Anyway, at least the quote itself is mostly correct, “"all the evidence shows that God was actually quite a gambler, and the universe is a great casino, where dices (sic!) are thrown and roulette wheels spin on every occasion". Amigos, now, I kind of think that the Roulette GURU guys tried to be overly correct here, since the plural of die is in fact dice, so there’s no need to make it even more plural. But let’s appreciate the effort, right?reliable Roulette system

According to internetcybercrime.com, on April 30, a man who was reportedly connected to the online Ponzi scheme ASFN/Evolution Ra (www.evolution-ra.com) was killed in downtown Kiev.

Naturally, speculations have been mounting that the reason for this crime was the scam itself and that his death is directly related to the fact that people lost money because of the scam. What’s more, it is now somewhat confirmed that the victim was one of the top promoters working for ASFN/Evolution Ra, which went down not even two months ago.

One may venture a guess that the ASFN/Evolution Ra’s policy of “stopping the growing global epidemic of insecurity and fear of the future”, did not go as planned...

Hola mis amigos!

I sincerely hope that you’re as happy with this lovely time of year as I am, going for long walks and enjoying the sun. I even hope that you don’t have the time to read the newsletter, amigos, or that you are just skimming the text to get the gist and go out again.

Let’s get down to the point, then, shall we?

NEW PROGRAMS: INVESTSUCCESS, EUROSTAR

Investsuccess, a company that – according to its website – is located in the United Kingdom and is a “registered trademark of Success Investments Limited, Global House, 299-303 Ballards Lane, London, N12 8NP” deal with the Forex market. The Certificate of Incorporation that has been made available online records the company’s 10 year existence. The domain, however, was created in February 2013 and expires on February 2, 2015. The website was soon after secured with a one-year RapidSSL certificate issued by GeoTrust.

There are seven plans to choose from: starting with 105% after 1 day up to 12000% after 60 days. The principal, at least $10, is returnable, but the compounding option is not available. There is no minimum “payable” amount since it depends on the payment processor that you have chosen. Transactions are handled manually and the time frame for payouts is 24 hours. For those interested in affiliate programs, “the affiliate fee rate is set at 5%”. Investsuccess accepts Liberty Reserve and Perfect Money.

EuroStar (reviewed here), another new addition, is “a private investment group operating in the world securities and financial markets”. According to its “Questions” section, the company was founded in 2006, first “as a small investment group” that was operating “only in the UK stock market” and that has “gradually” expanded to “all major financial markets of the world”. Since that’s not very specific, we can guess that these markets include: the US, Brazil, Russia, Nigeria, Kenya, Pakistan, UAE, Indonesia, Algeria, India, Japan, Philippines, Hungary, Malaysia, Germany. Or at least that’s what one can deduce judging by the well-organized “Representatives” portion of the website. Speaking of the website, EuroStar managed to create a pleasant design, combine it with some well-written and informative content and secure the page with EssentialSSL certificate issued by Comodo. However, what’s rather unusual, the certificate has been issued for three months only (from 26 April to 26 July, 2013). The short-term thing is kind of true for the domain as well since it expires on February 23, 2014. Luckily, the BlackDos hosting is in place which may make one feel a little bit better. As I mentioned before, the page is one of those that you’re actually happy to peruse. What I find a little disconcerting is – you might have guessed it by now – all the European Union visual references, especially since the company is reportedly global-oriented. Still, as promised, no actual politics will take place here, amigos.

What does EuroStar actually do? To paraphrase the home page slogans, “makes you financially independent” and gives one “a unique chance to climb the financial freedom ladder”. I know, I know, that doesn’t sound like anything, but let’s not get discouraged, it’s honestly all in the “Questions” section: “your money is being traded on Forex & commodities markets”. Provided that the company has been online less than two months, the number of representatives all around the globe seems impressive. Perhaps that is because the affiliates not only get an “increased affiliate rate” (the regular commission is 4% for level one and 2% for level two), but also certain bonuses. However, that’s all I could find regarding the representatives program, so if you speak English and enjoy helping others and you want to become one you should use EuroStar’s support system to get all the details. It shouldn’t be a problem since EuroStar implemented a truly cute online chat in the form of speech balloon that, according to the support team, “is available most of the time”, as well as a ticket system. Bear in mind, though, that in order to get the position of a EuroStar representative you need to fill in an application, contact the customer service “to inquire about open positions” and wait for a decision.

Hola mis amigos!

If there’s one thing money-monitor.com, fortunately, stays habitually away from, it really is the politics. Yes, for so many months we have been your oasis of the world of money that are, let’s hope, clean of lobbyists and those honest faced awesome politicians. And despite the name and all the connotations that will probably haunt you soon, I can promise that our non-political policy will prevail, amigos.

Euro Star Investment & Trading Limited is “a private investment group operating in the world securities and financial markets”. According to its “Questions” section, the company was founded in 2006, first “as a small investment group” that was operating “only in the UK stock market” and that has “gradually” expanded to “all major financial markets of the world”. Since that’s not very specific, we can guess that these markets include: the US, Brazil, Russia, Nigeria, Kenya, Pakistan, UAE, Indonesia, Algeria, India, Japan, Philippines, Hungary, Malaysia, Germany. Or at least that’s what one can deduce judging by the well-organized “Representatives” portion of the website.

Hola mis amigos!

I’m somewhat sure that you have discovered my secret identity by now. I mean, I can always hope that it takes some time, that I’m really discreet and smart about it, but we all know that these things are bound to happen sooner or later, right?

I usually cover my tracks pretty well, I have years of experience doing that after all, but I guess that you might have picked up on my eccentricities by now and you are, perhaps subconsciously even, aware than I am, well, a geek. Yes, that’s true. The accusations have been flying around for some time, so let’s just be honest about it. I’ve decided to share this revolutionary piece of information with you since what I’m about to write would point you in that direction anyway: when I opened our today’s protagonist’s website for the first time I started missing playing computer games and I was deeply tempted to stop working and just play me some games. There, I said it.

What’s so special about BetWinn365 website? It may not be the most stunning page you have ever seen, but what they actually got right was connecting the visual and verbal. One might think that BetWinn365 decided to go all the way to make sure that, first of all, people will know what they are all about and, secondly, will remember that it’s something about sports, games and risk. Mission accomplished, in my humble opinion, amigos. I mean, when you see a raging bull, a gamepad, and people playing different sports in one place, you think “bookmaking”, isn’t that correct?

Given that BetWinn365 is, in their own words, “an investment fund specializing in sport events through bookmakers which are managed by a talented group of professionals in this field, providing a steady income to all participants”, I’d say: message received. However, as it is usually true in life in general, while the website is visually appealing and memorable, it lacks as far as the content department goes. I like pictures as much as the next person, but some reading materials would be greatly appreciated. Also, it would greatly help the cause of not making people interested in sports and people actually in sports look anti-intellectual. But, just as I was forming a complaint in my mind, I’ve noticed that the gamepad is there for a reason and that all the buttons are actually links to different sections. I know, I know, I may be blind, but I’d still suggest making the text on the buttons bigger. There are more blind people in the world that you’d think, amigos! Also, as I have mentioned before, some of us, a.k.a. me, may just focus on the gamepad itself and forget about the world...

Hola mis amigos!

It’s been one of those weeks when, on one hand, so much has happened, but on the other hand, things have been moving slowly. Is it summer already or what? Anyway, due to the fact that there’s a lot to read this time, I’ll keep my personal ramblings short and to the point.

NEW PROGRAMS: FX INV BIZ, BETWINN365, AGROINV, MORE PROFIT, AG FENIX, CLICKPAID

Let’s start with Fx Inv Biz, “a company of private capital investment [...] created by a group of professionals engaged in the daily trading of EUR/USA and Gold”. There is not much to write about the website other that it’s secured with one-year-valid Comodo PositiveSLL certificate and that the domain was registered on April 18, 2013 and, also, expires within a year. Fx Inv Biz accepts STP, EgoPay, LR, PM and offers plans that vary from 2% daily for 10 business days (minimum $20) to 3% daily for 40 business days (investing starts at $3,001). The principal is always returned upon maturity, compounding is available in every plan, but the minimum – as you may see – is quite high, $20. Luckily, the minimum to withdraw remains your standard $0.1 and payouts shouldn’t take more than 24 hours.

Another program, BetWinn365, has a much more exciting website which evokes all the right imagery that you would normally connect to bookmaking: bulls, games, sport, and so on. If the name of the program did not direct you as to what they do, the visual aids should help. BetWinn365 is, naturally, “an investment fund specializing in sport events through bookmaker” that offers two investment plans: Plan A (1.5% daily for 45 calendar days, minimum $25, maximum $499) and Plan B (2.5% daily for 60 calendar days, min $500, max $25,000). The program accepts Liberty Reserve and Perfect Money, payouts take no more than the usual 24 hours, compounding is available and the principal is returnable. When it comes to security, BetWinn365’s page holds a one-year RapidSSL certificate issued by GeoTrust on April 12, 2013.

Hola mis amigos!

Those of you who follow all the financial news closely know that it has been a whirlwind of a week. If your friends know about your extra-curricular activities with the Forex market, online earning and such, you are probably getting all sorts of questions about Bitcoin. My condolences, amigos.

Or, perhaps, congratulations? After years of being those sad little geeks who stay at home instead of going out and seeing the light of day, it finally paid off to be in any way acquainted with even the sole concept of cybermoney and what-not. Kudos for having our social statuses restored!

In other news, we usually do not brag about our age and, obviously, esteem, because talking about age can be a delicate subject, but it has been 8 years, and 8 years is sure something to brag about. Let's face it, money-monitor is no longer an Internet toddler, we have fully grown and we are stronger than ever. Our celebrating will take form of upgrading the design and some of the popular functions (such as the listing or the chat) and, basically, making money-monitor an ever greater version of itself.

NEW PROGRAMS: BANK ON TRAFFIC, IF CAPITAL GROUP, RACEINV, FINANCIAL FREEDOM

Internet Traffic Management may not tell you much at first, but it will become rather clear after a second. Bank On Traffic, one of our today's protagonists, is an internet advertising company specializing in "unique visitor" (UV) website traffic. Now it's obvious, right? BOT's traffic comes from associated high traffic website networks using the latest 'soft pop-under' technology along with thousands of niche domain names and search engines that redirects traffic to your site. With BOT you can make money by promoting the business model and products. What should be pointed out is that becoming a BOT member is all that easy. First, you must be able to provide some form of acceptable identification such as a Driver's License or Passport.

Without an ID, you will not be able to receive your withdrawals, which start at $50 and are handled via Payza or Solid Trust Pay. Another reason is that BOT only accepts individual membership you must be able to identify yourself as a real Human being per our Terms and Conditions. Sorry Cylons, you'll have to pick another program. Secondly, the membership will have to be confirmed and you might do it by logging into your account within 24 hours of sign up. If you fail to do so, the account will be removed. As far as the investment process is concerned, you must spend at least $50 (non-returnable) and you may go as high as $4,050. Payouts take place every Wednesday and are handled manually. When it comes to the website, it is nice to look at, but the security is non-existent. However, the contact information is decent (9630 Bruceville Road, Suite 106, Unit 316, Elk Grove, CA 95757, phone: 1-415-625-0022). The domain was created on February 22, 2012 and expires in 2014.
