Yahoo Definition of HYIP

HYIP stands for High Yield Investment Programs. They are high in risk, and most are just scams. This forum will discuss which HYIP's are paying and which ones are not (most will pay back a fraction of what it costs you just to keep you in - they are Ponzi schemes. Don't be a ****er stay out of them. A lot of these scams are illegal. My guess is that the FBI will keep an eye on message boards to see what is GOING ON and I say that's good.

Information About High Yield Investment Program (HYIP)

A high-yield investment program (HYIP) is a type of pyramid scheme often offered via the Internet. HYIPs typically accept deposits as low as $1 while promising astoundingly high returns.

Online HYIP schemes rarely last for the long term. An overwhelming number of cases suggest that HYIPs are Ponzi schemes, in which new investors provide the cash to pay a profit to existing investors, which they typically then withdraw. [citation needed] This approach allows the scam to continue as long as new investors are found and/or old investors leave their money in the scheme, known as compounding (because even higher profits are promised).

The introduction of e-currencies has made it possible for HYIPs to operate on the internet and cross international boundaries, and to accept large numbers of small investments. HYIPs usually accept deposits by either e-currency, like e-gold, e-bullion and INTGold, or use specialist third party payment processors like AlertPay, SolidTrustPay, CEPTrust, TriStarMoneyChangers and StormPay. HYIPs typically offer a significant incentive commission (for example, 9% of invested funds) for members to attract and refer new investors.

Most HYIPs disclose little or no detail about the underlying management, location, or other aspects of how money is to be invested (often because money is not actually invested), and relatively little information (other than asserting that they do various types of trading on various stock and other exchanges) on how they actually generate the returns they purport. They are sometimes presented with some form of an emotional appeal, appeals for faith, and promises that they will help investors achieve financial freedom.

Arguably, the largest HYIP scam that has existed on the internet was PIPS (People in Profit System or Pure Investors)[1][2]. The investment scheme was started by Bryan Marsden in early 2004, (according to the Wayback Machine record of Pureinvestor.com) and spanned more than 20 countries. PIPS was investigated by Bank Negara Malaysia in 2005 which resulted in Marsden and his wife being charged in a Malaysian court with 97 counts of money laundering involving more than RM77 million - US$20 million - (copy of New Straits Times article dated 11 Oct 2006). Even after these charges were brought forth many of Marsden's followers/investors continued to support him and believe they would see their money some day. This behavior and denial could be seen and still is seen on hyip forums such as Talkgold Forum and others.

Interest rates
HYIPs typically claim to offer interest rates of 1% or more per day on invested funds; some claim to offer much higher daily rates exceeding 200% a day. Allegedly, the highest-return HYIP on record has offered 1,100% ROI in one day. Claims of astronomical returns without large capital outlay or background information are indicative of a Ponzi-structured HYIP program.

As a comparison with a typical 1% per day claim, Warren Buffett, one of the world's most successful investors, made around 30% per year during his most successful period; that is on average, less than 0.1% per day. As the claimed returns of 1% per day are extremely unlikely to be produced legitimately, all HYIPs are therefore likely to be Ponzi schemes, and so most investors will in due course lose their money.
HYIP monitors

HYIP monitors, or HYIP listing/rating sites, are websites that list and/or promote HYIPs for referral commissions. The monitor charges each HYIP a listing fee which is usually then invested into that program, although there exist free listings and occasionally monitors which invest their own money. The monitor then labels the HYIP as "Paying" or "Not paying/Scam" depending on whether interest is received within the terms specified by the program. Monitors also allow other HYIP investors to rate and comment on the programs, based on factors such as promptness of payouts and responsiveness of the HYIP administrator. Programs with higher ratings achieve higher rankings on the monitor sites, which coupled with a "Paying" status may entice more investors who rely on the monitor.

In most cases, HYIPs only pay monitor sites to keep their "Paying" status visible, but do not pay other investors. As HYIP monitors are not affiliated with the HYIPs themselves, they are unable to prevent investors from being scammed; they neither help to recover lost funds nor track down the scammers. Promoting or perpetuating Ponzi schemes is a criminal offense punishable by jail terms or fines in most countries. That the monitor sites place disclaimers saying that they "do not promote the programs advertised on their website" does not absolve them from criminal liability.

In order to generate a "paying" status early (so that future visitors will see it) and maintain it for the longest possible time, newly opened HYIPs list their site quickly as well as constantly pay monitors their interest on time. Added to the fact that many monitors invest the listing "fee", and that a commission is received on each deposit made by people who visit the HYIP via the monitor, they are the most likely to profit when a program runs out of funds.

HYIP owners can manipulate monitors and forums, by paying people to comment positively or by using a range of IP addresses or proxy servers in different locations so that "paying" votes appear to come from around the world. This allows the HYIP to rise up the rankings more quickly than others, giving investors a false sense of security. Additionally, even if they know it will scam in the future, some investors will also rate new HYIPs positively until the HYIP stops paying, because they want more people to invest after them in the hopes that the program will last longer. Future scammers can also build up a good reputation on forums for a large payoff once most forum members trust them.

A Guide To Gold HYIP
balfastfeat

By Alice Dexter Of the sundry “get-rich-quick” schemes doing the rounds these days, the Gold HYIP (High Yield Investment Program) has surely caught the fancy of investors and laymen alike. And for all the right reasons too.

What is a HYIP? A HYIP is an investment program that packs in promises of almost unbridled riches. HYIPs are touted to rope in interests and returns ranging from 0.5% to about 100% daily, weekly or monthly. The prime lure of a HYIP lies in the fact that you can hope to gather as much as 500% of the profits within a year. But, on the flip side of it, these HYIPs are generally online for a short period of time, from only a day to one-and-a-half years. So this makes it all the more risky for you because you would stand to lose every penny you have invested if heavens forbid, the HYIP shuts down. You need an e-gold account to be able to operate within the HYIP circles.

This is because HYIPs use e-currencies as their medium of exchange. How To Find That Truly Golden HYIP? High Yield is proportional to High Risk is the abiding principle of all those who have burned their fingers toying with HYIPs. But you can definitely strike the riches if you go about your HYIP venture carefully and armed with all the requisite information. Well-wishers will advise you to go in for the private HYIPs. Albeit with low interest rates like 1-1.5% daily, 6.5-12% weekly and 25-30% monthly, the popularity and the feasibility of these HYIPs hinge on the fact you can keep up with these rates of return. Furthermore, there are many private HYIP programs that will offer you a compounding interest on your deposits so that you can maximize your chances of making it big. However, these are exclusive privileges and you need a referral by an existing member to be able to access them. Some Advantages With The Gold HYIP Web Sites The advantages with the usual kind of HYIPs apart, going in for a service with the variety of gold HYIP web sites thronging the Internet comes with its unique set of benefits and conveniences for the customers. For instance, your account will be updated almost as soon as you deposit, then you can collect your profits any time you desire and you can also redirect deposit sums from your account balance elsewhere. Besides, you can safely bask in the knowledge that at these webs sites your finances will be ably handled by a group of investment experts, so that you minimize your risks of losing money.

A Few Words of Caution Before You Go Forward With Your Gold HYIP The promises made by the HYIPs are quite enough to send you into a daydream. But there are certain things that you should definitely keep in mind before you plunge into one.

- A worthwhile tactic to lessen your chances of your investment going up in flames is to not to put all your eggs in one basket. That is to say, you divide your investment amount between several HYIP, preferably equally.
- Don’t leave your interests in the investment accounts for compounding. Instead transfer them to your e-gold or e-currency accounts immediately. - Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Invest only the amount that won’t pinch if lost. Remember with a HYIP, neither your principle nor your profits will be guaranteed. Don’t be starry-eyed when it comes to a gold HYIP. Tread cautiously, because all that glitters may not always be gold.
