15/12/2014. Interview with the Admin of BTPerfex
Hi all! Not as much news to report for now so it’s back to being just a typical day in the HYIP industry as we approach the Christmas holidays. One admin that has been busy however is Andy from the recently launched (and still brand new) long term program BTPerfex. If you’re looking for a news update I’ll be catching up with everything in tomorrow’s post, but for today I just want to concentrate on the following interview I received last night from the BTPerfex admin. The program offers terms of 1.25%-2% for 180 days with the exact amount based on how much you spend. Deposits start from a $50 minimum and can be made using either PerfectMoney or BitCoin. So, without further ado let’s hear what Andy has to say about the project himself. I’ll only just remind you that if you like what he has to say and would like some further information then BTPerfex was first reviewed in more detail on MNO here:
“1. Hi Andy, please introduce yourself to the readers of MNO and tell us please about your own involvement in BTPerfex. What is your role in the day to day running of the program?
Hi Paul, My name is Andy Elliot and I am admin of BTPerfex.com. I am the head of this project and the decision maker for BTPerfex.
2. Can you give us some background information on BTPerfex? How many others are involved with the program or are you operating alone? How long have you been online?
Sure, BTPerfex is a “Dream Project” of our team because of our hard work and dedication today we are able to start our “Dream Project”. Before BTPerfex we are just a group of 34 friends who work as a team in the E-Currency market but BTPerfex has now given us a name in this industry. We are in the E-currency exchange field for the last three years.
3. Explain the investment plans in detail to us. What ROIs are on offer. What are the minimum and maximum amounts to invest? What payment options are you currently accepting?
Our investment plans are pretty simple and straight forward all investment are for 180 days and we pay daily interest on calender days to our investors. Our minimum amount of investing is $50 and maximum is $50,000. We have divided the investment amount along with their daily interest rates they are as follows: $50-$2500 we pay 1.25% daily interest on deposit amount, $2501-$7000 we pay 1.50% daily interest on deposit amount and $7001-$50,000 we pay 2% daily interest on deposit amount. Currently we accept payments through Perfect Money and Bitcoin.
4. Do you think the limited number of payment processors will make some readers a lot less likely to join? I know PM and BitCoin are probably the most popular ones anyway, but with accounts being free to open why is there only two? Do you plan to add more, if so then when, and why wasn’t it done from the start?
Maybe you are right Paul, But as much as I have researched on this industry I found this two payment processors were mostly used by investors This is the main reason we decided to start our project with this two payment processors at first and see what is the result if we found our investors are facing problems in investing then of course we add other payment processors but till now we didn’t get any such requests from our investors.
5. Is $50 too high a minimum asking price for HYIPs? Do you think dropping the price to $5 or $10 would attract a lot more members (and money) into the program?
Yes I know that but there is another part you can see our daily payout percent is very low as much as I think and we make this plans according to our daily exchange calculations. We are not able to offer our investors a high ROI on $5 or $10 investment that’s why we started our plan with minimum of $50 in which our investors can get a good ROI. Also, our program is a very long term program so I think $50 starting amount is a good start.
6. How secure is the BTPerfex website? What are you doing to protect it and members’ accounts from hackers? Are you on a dedicated server? Who is your host? What kind of anti-DDoS protection do you have?
We have taken all security measures that must to keep our members accounts safe and secure. As you have seen in members area we have security settings specially for every member. Members can set up their IP address in the security settings so only they can access into the members area from their computers IP. Our script is injection and intrusion proof. Yes we are on a dedicated server provided by SurfScriptPro. Our DDoS protection service is also provided by them and they are very good in this in fact on the day on which our review has been published on MNO that day we have got a DDoS attack for 20 minutes but our host has mitigate it and our website was not harmed in any manner. Not a single moment of downtime although the attack was very hard.
7. What kind of script is BTPerfex off? Where did you get it, how safe is it, and why do you think this one is most beneficial for you as an admin and your members?
BTPerfex is created on Surfscriptpro script which is I didn’t say very easy and convenient but it is very secure according to HYIP industry. Before starting this project I have researched very much on this Industry and main Issues I found out that always there is some problem with either script vulnerability or hosting.
That’s why I decided to start our program with a new script and hosting which is not so known in this industry and really I found it very useful it’s features are very secure. As of security it has crypto card login for admin with double verification, it has folder lock so even anyone can get access to server due to not so strong password the attacker cannot change a single folder or file on the server without the folder lock password which is specially provided by SurfScriptPro. For members at first they found it little confusing on the cashout process only I think which is also a 2 time first time you have to transfer your earnings to your wallet after that you can request a cashout.
8. On a related question, the majority of readers here are unlikely to have seen programs using this particular script, so can you explain or link to how investors can sign up, deposit, and withdraw?
Sure Paul, Here are simple steps to sign up I will explain it you all readers of MNO here:
1) To sign up just go to btperfex.com or http://ift.tt/1ITdjZF
2) Once you sign up you will be redirected to your members area.
3) In your members area on header menu click “wallet” it will redirected you to the wallet page where you have to select your deposit method and amount and click make deposit that’s it.
4) Once you fund your wallet after that you can deposit on any plan by using the “deposit” button on your members area homepage.
5) For cashout please do the same first transfer your earnings to your wallet after that request a cashout and we will send your cashout to your preferred payment processor. Remember if you have deposited through PerfectMoney than you can only get a cashout on that wallet, same with Bitcoin.
9. Can we see any statistics regarding BTPerfex? How many members have joined since the beginning and how many are active at the moment? Are you pleased with the support from the members so far? How important a role do they play in bringing in new members?
We didn’t add that statistics but yes you can always see last five investors, last five cashouts and top Investors on every page of BTPerfex. As of today we have over 250 members joined out of which 95 are active. We are very happy with the support of our members they really promoting our service as we see daily new sign ups and deposits but as you know we are not advertising or promoting our program now still we are getting very impressive results.
10. How can members contact you if they have any questions or support related issues?
We have a internal support ticket system from where members can always get in touch with us.
11. I mentioned in the review of BTPerfex that there’s a Live Chat feature but had never seen it activated. Is this actually available to members, and if so then what are the working hours (GMT) that they can log in and chat with an operator there?
As I have already told you in the email that I send you about this issues but today I am going to give the same statement in front of MNO readers. I love perfection in all things my wish is to run this live chat feature 24*7. First of all we thought we will handle this personally but after the program start our all team are being busy in just exchanging the e-currencies and making more and more profit. So, Now I decided to hire a separate staff for this and hopefully within some days we will announce this 24*7 live chat support on our news section along with in members newsletter.
12. What have been the most common questions and problems you’ve had to deal with so far? Is there anything you wish to say here so that members can avoid having to contact you later?
The most common question I have faced is about the cashout issue, nothing else, and now I hope our members get a detailed idea on it. Although we are always here to help if anyone faces any kind of problem.
13. How have you been promoting BTPerfex so far? What advertising strategy have you been using? How are you getting new members to join?
Our main advertising strategy is through monitors and forums of course but we have some additional secret strategy that we are going to implement this time you will see it’s effect very soon. Currently we are getting new members by word of mouth only as currently you can see we didn’t add new monitors or promoters only our valuable members are promoting our program right now and they are doing great.
14. What exactly are you doing with investors money? How are you investing it and how are you generating the profits being made to members? How can investors independently (ie a reliable source not controlled or influenced by BTPerfex) verify this information before they join?
Our concept is very clear and transparent. I think nowadays everybody knows how much trending e-currency exchanges are and we do the same thing. We simply invest our investors money into e-currency exchange and our expert team exchange them with other currencies and make profit and we share the profit percent with our investors. Anybody can Google “e-currency exchange forums” and they can easily get the idea behind it.
15. Also mentioned in the review was that BTPerfex are involved with e-currency exchanges, but can’t see anywhere on the website that this is a service offered to investors. Tell us about this and how, if they can, members can use the service. What are the currencies you accept, what are the rates, and what are the fees for each. Is this available to anyone or just program members?
We have created BTPerfex to gather all investors who are interested in investing in a very trending business of today.Although we welcome all members of BTPerfex to exchange there e-currencies from us but we also know there are many places where they can easily exchange their e-currencies with a very low percentage (although maximum were scammers) that BTPerfex provide as you can see it on our exchange calculator. But besides that you must agree that Internet is a very vast marketplace and many peoples didn’t know about half of it. We actually know where to exchange e-currencies with a very high percent like 10% or higher (we are expert on this) and we are doing this for the last three years. We just want our investors to invest money in our project and make profit and let do us the hard part which is making profit.
16. And finally is there anything else you wish to say not covered in this interview? Also please feel free to comment on the review of your program published on MNO. If there was anything you felt was unfair, mistaken, or in any way in need of clarification then you are welcome to explain this in your own words here.
As I already told you in my email that your review was awesome. I have not a single complaint against it. Yes, we are wrong in some places that you have mentioned in your review which is a good part and needs to be corrected.We can assure you and MNO readers that we will surely look after it and make our investors happy.”
That’s where we leave it for today, guys. Thanks a lot for reading, and thanks a lot to Andy for taking the time and effort to answer my questions. I hope you found it interesting and helpful if you are already a member of BTPerfex, and even more so if you are just thinking about it. Best of luck to him and all the members there in making a lasting success of the program. So, be sure to come back tomorrow for any news stories worth hearing about. Meanwhile remember you can also stay up to date with MNO on Facebook and Twitter, and remember to cast your vote for what you think the best program of 2014 was on the MNO TalkBack page opinion poll. I’ll see you all on Monday. Bye for now!

04/12/2014. Interview with the Admin of Raisean
Hello everybody! Well, it was just slightly later than I was hoping for, but better late than never. I am of course referring to the much anticipated interview with the admin of Raisean, a long term HYIP and the subject of some fierce debate online in recent times, with opinions split quite evenly as to where the program is going and what any new members chances of success would be. It’s one of the longer interviews that I remember having on MNO so I hope you’re sitting comfortably and are ready to hear the admin (Martin’s) thoughts on various subjects surrounding Raisean and others.
Before we hear from Martin I’ll just remind you that Raisean has been online since October and paying plans that include 1%-7% on business days, 1%-2% on weekends, until you reach 150%-170% on your investment, with accruals clocking up every second. So in other words the admin can control the interest rate from one day to the next. The recent controversy with the program is that payments are nearly always the minimum possible level since being hit by a massive DDoS attack a few weeks ago. Rates paid out before and after the attack are poles apart, and that’s why opinion is so divided. Well, the best thing for now is hear what the Raisean admin has to say, and see if you agree. If you like the interview and would like some further information then you can always start with the original review of the program first published on MNO here:
“1. Hi Martin, please introduce yourself to the readers of MNO and tell us please about your own involvement in Raisean. What is your role in the day to day running of the program?
Hello Paul and all MNO readers. My name is Martin Sepear and I’m the owner of Raisean Sky.
2. Can you give us some background information on Raisean? How many others are involved with the program or are you operating alone? How long have you been online?
The company has several people engaged in development, advertising, customer support and overall system monitoring – we are keeping an eye on the Raisean around the clock. There are few more people working on communication channels like social networks and Skype. As I already told once we will hire more people soon to provide customer support using not just English but rather different languages.
We finished the companies formation in August, right after that we began the Raisean development process. In October Raisean saw the light for the first time and started to accept investors deposits.
3. Explain the investment plan in detail to us. What are the minimum and maximum amounts to invest? What determines the rate of interest paid from one day to the next?
The investment plan is quite straightforward. Invest any amount (at least $10) and start getting everyday income from 1% to 7% on business days and 1% to 2% on holidays. First you will get your deposit back and then you will start getting a profit. The minimum deposit amount via crypto-currencies is slightly different: 0.025 BTC and 2.5 LTC. You can withdraw the earnings any time you have at least $1 (0.0025 BTC or 0.25 LTC). That’s all. The basic and most important information about the project. There are no other tricks, extra fees, etc. Daily interest distributed throughout the day, you can see the counters changing all the time. To get the idea you just need to open the ‘Demo Account’, here you can try to withdraw the earnings and create a new deposit.
Raisean calculates the daily interest rate according to the income level which Raisean can ensure and then uses the closest lesser integer. The surplus goes into the Raisean stabilizing fund.
4. What payment options are you currently accepting? What have been the most popular methods, and particularly how have the digital e-currencies performed against the more traditional payment processors?
We’re accepting BitCoin, LiteCoin, PerfectMoney, EgoPay, and Payeer.
Payment systems popularity are distributed as follows:
1) PerfectMoney
2) BitCoin
3) Payeer
4/5) EgoPay and LiteCoin
It’s easy to see BitCoin performing very well. I personally believe in the future of crypto-currencies. Moreover I think in the near future we will report that Bitcoin ranked first among other payment systems.
5. How secure is the Raisean website? What are you doing to protect it and members’ accounts from hackers? Are you on a dedicated server? Who is your host? What kind of anti-DDoS protection do you have?
We believe the Raisean website is very secure. You don’t need to rely on words, just try to be rational and take into consideration that quite serious attackers are still trying to DDoS the Raisean website. If they could perform a successful attack or damage Raisean any other way, they would never DDoS the website.
We have done everything to protect our customers from hacking their Raisean accounts and attempts at their earnings. First we are generating the unique PIN which is necessary for edit the Raisean account settings, then we are sending generated PIN to customer’s e-mail address which was used to sign up. To be able to edit the Raisean account settings, the attacker should also have an access to customer’s e-mail. Taking the opportunity I recommend MNO readers to always use strong unique passwords wherever possible. We had several unsuccessful hacking attempts to seize the customers accounts, using the passwords they used on other websites. That’s why we came to the conclusion that sending PIN codes to the customers it’s not enough security measure. We recommend each customer who seriously concerned about the safety of its own funds to enable 2FA feature and use Google Authenticator, it’s the pretty simple application for your mobile device. Right now I don’t know any other project in this industry which would provide such security level.
The Raisean website located on a dedicated server provided by Black Lotus. They also our DDoS protection provider.
6. On the subject of DDoS attacks, this has been the cause of some controversy in Raisean, isn’t that right? Talk us through the main timeline of the attack, and explain why the website was so vulnerable to begin with.
The controversy arises from a lack of people’s awareness of what a DDoS attack is and how to mitigate it. Most people from the industry never saw the actual attacks, instead of them they had witnessed fairy tales. Now I’ll try to give you a brief explanation about how the DDoS protection works. The DDoS protection demonstrates the ability and willingness of the company providing such services to mitigate a possible DDoS attack. The usual hosting provider will disconnect the website in case of a DDoS attack. Such hosting provider can’t do anything about it and doesn’t want the extra hardware load. Even a sophisticated DDoS protection can’t immediately mitigate any kind of DDoS attack, as many people think. There are many complex and cunning attack methods that still need to be catched, it’s necessary to determine the precise attack pattern to be able to effectively mitigate it. This takes time. By default DDoS protection mitigates any basic attack such as TCP/SYN, ICMP or UDP flood. In our case, the attacks were so complex and sophisticated that the default protection can’t handle them so we ordered and configured the additional proxy server to filter the traffic and effectively mitigate such attacks. At this moment we’re completely strangled the attacks, the website is working great right now.
There were periodic attacks rather than the endless stream of requests. The attack pattern evolved and changed every few hours, the attack usually stopped at night and came back at the morning. There were no successful DDoS attack attempts since we installed the additional mitigation proxy, right now we don’t see any DDoS attack attempts at all. The Raisean website it’s the only website in the whole industry which is immune to such attack. By the way, the name of the hacker who claimed responsibility for the attack is ‘DD4BC’. You can Google it to find the information about his ‘success story’. :)
7. How was it dealt with, and what measures were put in place to make sure in never happens again? What are the long term consequences of such a huge attack on a) the program, b) its cash flow, and c) the confidence of not just existing members, but also potential investors who may now have second thoughts about joining?
I already told you what has been done to mitigate the attack. Now let’s discuss the consequences. You are greatly exaggerated the DDoS situation, what do we have after the attack? Raisean works 100% perfectly, the website is available all around the globe. We didn’t receive new deposits during the attack and the influx decreased for the next few days after the attack. But the most important consequence it’s the invaluable experience we gained as a company, the experience that no one else has.
I would like to address people who do not join us because they are afraid of such attacks. We survived and fully recovered after attack, we have the necessary experience and trained team, we are prepared. Try to think about the websites working good and never faced such problems, to whom would you bet when the attack comes?
8. This leads me to the next set of questions which is to do with Raisean‘s performance in the wake of the attack. One reader said recently on the MNO shoutbox that it was almost like looking at two separate programs, before and after the attack. How would you respond to that?
What’s wrong with the Raisean performance at this moment? I find it difficult to answer this question. We constantly monitor the website and all its modules. Everything works great, we do not see any errors and there are no customer reported errors either. I think dear reader overshooting and exaggerating the situation with DDoS, just like you.
9. In a recent opinion poll taken on MNO, 50% of readers expressed the view than Raisean will not survive the holidays and will be a scam by January. Whether thats right or wrong, it still displays a massive and widespread belief that the collapse of Raisean is imminent. How can you reverse that trend?
Are you one of those who see the glass is half empty, right? You are talking about the half of the readers, but what about the other half? I personally see a pessimistic trend that readers do not believe so much in the projects advertising on your blog. Each new poll just confirms such trend. Maybe it’s time to introduce some extra selection criteria, not just the listing price? :) I’ll discuss December-January considerations in the next answer.
10. It’s perfectly clear that interest rates have been hovering around 1% for a number of weeks now following the attack, but before it they were much better. I know they still fall within Raisean‘s terms, but what do you say to a) the implication that it means your cash flow has suffered, and b) it hurts your chances to attract new investors due to how long it will take them just to break even?
The only thing that influenced the attack is the fact that the daily interest rate fell so quickly. As you can see the daily interest rate started to decrease the days before the attack. We are not idiots and we understand the things you, other bloggers and indeed the whole world said: in December the people activity greatly reduced. As well as our profit. That’s why we decreased the daily interest rate, it’s not an unusual or neither unexpected decision. The project marketing was developed while keeping the December recession in mind. In my opinion it’s odd to invest in a website that promises 1% to 7% daily income and to be dissatisfied with the fact that the website pays 1% daily. On other hand we are very happy with the investors who don’t mind such relatively low interest, the investors who prefers stability and longevity of the project. More and more such investors joining Raisean every day, not so much as investors who joined us seeing 7% per day, but in combination with small daily withdrawals amount Raisean feels good. I can’t say the same words about the projects for which the December stagnation turned into a sudden event.
11. What kind of script is Raisean off? Where did you get it, how safe is it, and why do you think this one is most beneficial for you as an admin and your members?
The Raisean script was self-developed by us. I already told about the safety of the script, when I mentioned 2FA feature. I would also highlight such things as:
- a unique permanent crypto-currency address for each customer, all funds transferred to this address goes directly to your Raisean account.
- payments verification system which makes sure any automatic payment will not fail and will be processed only once. In case of any unexpected payment system response the system will mark the payment suspicious and notify the operator.
- an automated monitoring system. If something went wrong the system will automatically notify the developers.
- payment purses balance never exceeds the necessary amounts. Even in the incredible situation when the potential attacker will get the access to Raisean‘s payment purses he will get only the minimum amount of funds.
- our own crypto-currency merchant. We’re accepting the funds bypassing Blockchain or any other intermediate websites, we’re not depending on third-party outages.
- any requests to the website are bounded by the built-in web application firewall module. It helps us to prevent sophisticated attacks and evade performance issues.
- any e-mail we ever sent (automatically or manually) have DKIM signature which is impossible to forge. We also have SSL EV domain certificate.
There is no other project in the whole industry having all above features except Raisean. Again you don’t need to rely on words, you can check all these features by yourself. And this is only the advantages concerning the safety of Raisean customers. Open the demo account, push the buttons, walk around the website, take a look at the Raisean‘s video reviews – the Raisean‘s advantages will become more obvious to you.
12. Some readers have commented that they find Raisean way too complicated, to such an extent that despite my own efforts to explain things in my review they still say they prefer not to join. What would you like to say to such people? It’s good to be unique, I agree, but is it really necessary for what is still basically an online HYIP to be quite so elaborate when your main competitors seem able to keep things so simple?
I can see just two possible reasons for your readers not to join us:
1) They already joined Raisean since the first day, as they wrote in the shoutbox.
2) After your numerous unflattering comments about Raisean in your ‘Daly news from HYIP Industry’ column I would rather not to join Raisean too. In case the only blog I ever read would be MNO. It’s very sad you didn’t appreciate our great and sincere desire to work and overcome any difficulties whether it’s a DDoS or Black December. On other hand it’s a wonderful opportunity to connect the dots by answering your and your readers questions in the interview.
How could someone consider our investment plan as a difficult one? There is only one investment plan, there are no tricks about deposit amount, no hidden fees and so on. The investment plan is quite straightforward. Maybe some customers get used to a so-called piggy banks projects and expecting deposit return anytime. Raisean it’s the different project with the different investment plan, we are not offering deposit returns as a part of our marketing so it’s odd to expect such things.
The only thing which could seem complicated it’s an extended deposits. But you don’t need to understand them to earn with Raisean, they are not restricting the investment plan nor force you to use them. They give you an extra income. You don’t even need to do something to create an extended deposit, the script will do it for you and will notify you about it. That’s it.
13. Can we see any statistics regarding Raisean? How many members have joined since the beginning and how many are active at the moment? Are you pleased with the support from the members so far? How important a role do they play in bringing in new members?
You can see all available statistics at the footer of each page. Right after the start we faced with a certain lack of understanding from some major activists who invite the people. It turned out that it’s more important to get the bonus once rather than getting the bigger bonus from their referrals earnings. This is ruefully because we don’t consider such an approach is fair. These activists thinks about their referrals as a herd, which they lead wherever they wants – it does not matter, since the main thing for such activists to receive a bonus once. Nevertheless we are pleased that the rest of the activists just likes our referral program that assumes the long-term relationships between the project, activists and their referrals as well as eventually higher referral bonus.
14. How can members contact you if they have any questions or support related issues? Also tell us about your Skype Conference support feature, such as how members can use it, what times is it operational, and exactly how much are the operators there able to do for members beyond simply repeating the FAQ or telling people they better contact the admin.
The members can contact us via Facebook and VK groups or using Raisean‘s Twitter and Google+ profiles. We’re not offering direct Skype support, but you can always see a friendly moderator in the Raisean conferences who will be glad to help Raisean members any time. Almost in any case we will redirect the member to our helpdesk system. By creating a ticket, the member doing two important things: provides us all basic information we need to solve almost any problem (member’s account name, payment information, web browser, country, etc) and proves its own identity. To summarize, the fastest way to solve any issue is to create a ticket using Raisean helpdesk system. This is not only the fastest but also the most easiest and convenient way to solve it.
15. What have been the most common questions and problems you’ve had to deal with so far? Is there anything you wish to say here so that members can avoid having to contact you later?
The most common issue it’s a Bitcoin deposit with less than a minimum amount. Unfortunately we can’t forbid members to transfer less than 0.025 BTC amount. We’re easily solving such issues by returning the funds or letting the member to transfer a missing amount. This is perhaps the most common issue but we will answer any question, don’t hesitate to contact us any time with any issue you have.
16. How have you been promoting Raisean so far? What advertising strategy have you been using? How are you getting new members to join?
Advertising campaign it’s a quite private information. I would prefer not to speak about it in details. The only thing I want to say is the fact that I see no reasons to start extensive advertising campaign in December. It’s better to wait and start to advertise in January or February.
17. I can see you have active profiles on the main social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter etc. How useful have these been in the promotion of Raisean, in attracting new members/deposits, and communicating with investors (especially during the DDoS attack)?
As you rightly noticed the groups and pages in social networks helps Raisean members to keep abreast of the project even in case when the website is not available for some reason. That’s why I would recommend to join Raisen groups and follow us on Twitter. Also do not forget about the live communications with other members, sharing the useful information and so on. Groups and pages themselves does not attract any new customers, they rather allow the active users of a social network to get familiar with the project without leaving their favorite website.
18. What exactly are you doing with investors money? How are you investing it and how are you generating the profits being made to members?
The Raisean website contains all necessary information to answer this question, I see no reason to repeat it here. But on other hand you, Paul, constantly talking about HYIPs and their influx based on a new investors deposits. I am a bit taken aback by such a strange question.
19. And finally is there anything else you wish to say not covered in this interview? Also please feel free to comment on the review of your program published on MNO. If there was anything you felt was unfair, mistaken, or in any way in need of clarification then you are welcome to explain this in your own words here.
This is the quite extensive interview so I think I already said what I wanted to say. I like your review, I think its detailed and qualitative. But your further analytical posts about Raisean I like a lot less. That’s why I asked about the interview to be able to convey to the MNO readers reliable information and shed a light on many things. Thank you for such opportunity!”
Thanks a lot to Martin for taking the time to complete my questions, and I hope you all found the article an interesting read regardless of what feeling you might otherwise have on Raisean. Good luck to everyone involved in reaching their goal.
That’s all I have for you tonight guys, but I do just want to briefly mention one hugely promising new program on my PremiumList called AtrexTrade. I prefer not to make these statements myself (so I’m kinda glad someone else said it first!) but some readers are already suggesting this is a continuation of the old EurexTrade and RemiTrade programs, two massively successful HYIPs which ran a combined total of something like three years between the two of them. Very very popular with a lot of MNO readers, and for a very good reason as they were both outstanding performers. Is AtrexTrade going to emulate that success? Well, the program only just launched so no one really knows for sure, but certainly I’d have to agree with the initial feedback I’ve been sent by some experienced readers who all seem to think the omens are good here. I’m not going to say much about it now as I’m still checking it out for myself, but I’ll have a proper introduction of it for you in tomorrow’s post and a more detailed review sometime after that. The program has already been moved to Paying Status on my monitor by the way, after my own first withdrawal was made instantly. We’ll talk a bit more about AtrexTrade tomorrow, and no doubt still be talking about it for many many months to come I would hope.
So stay tuned for that guys, and of course I’ll also have any and all news stories from around the HYIP industry worth hearing about. Enjoy the weekend everyone, and see you all tomorrow!

13/11/2014. Interview with the Admin of MaestroCapitalGroup
Hello everyone! I have a relatively shorter than usual update for you this evening as I would really like to focus on the following interview I received from the admin of MaestroCapitalGroup, Frank. I hope you like it as much as I did because I really appreciate when an admin is as down to earth and straight talking as Frank is here. In fact to be honest I can’t even add that much by way of introduction because the admin seems to have more or less everything covered here himself in pretty plain language that gets straight to the point. I do have a couple of other short updates for you at the end of the interview, but these are more to do the introductions of a couple of brand new programs to my monitor. I know most of you are always on the lookout for something new, so keep reading and there might just be something in there that you like. First however to Frank and MaestroCapitalGroup. I’ll just remind you briefly before we begin that MaestroCapitalGroup is a mostly short term program with one no-expiry alternative which has proven popular among the investors who’ve joined so far (many of whom are already well into profit) offering terms of 2% daily forever (principal back anytime after 3 days), 3% for 5 days (principal back), and 4% for 7 days (also with principal back). If you like what Frank has to say and would like some further info, then you can start with the original review of MaestroCapitalGroup first published on MNO here:
“1. Hi Frank, please introduce yourself to the readers of MNO and tell us please about your own involvement in MaestroCapitalGroup. What is your role in the day to day running of the program?
My name is Frank Cunningham and I’m the founder of MaestroCapitalGroup. I’m responsible for program operations and staff management. My main role in the company to make sure that everything is running like clockwork and up to current standards.
2. Can you give us some background information on MaestroCapitalGroup? How many others are involved with the program or are you operating alone? How long have you been online?
There are five people who are operating as full time employees of the company at this stage, where two are responsible for technical part (system and program administrators). Another team member is marketing director who we are debating our promotional programs with, but from time to time he has some great ideas :-) Just the other day he came up with referral milestone bonuses, which is truly unique and I hope will be dearly loved by our investors. And last but not least important part of the team is our beautiful customer representative named Kimberly. She is awesome, very patient, diplomatic and very professional. And 5th person is faithfully yours – me.
Every team member is trustworthy and very experienced. Moreover known by me for a long time.
3. Explain the investment plans in detail to us. What ROIs are on offer. What are the minimum and maximum amounts to invest? What payment options are you currently accepting?
When we were creating our plans we had to make sure they are easy to understand. Unlike other investment companies who mask their investment terms in such a way that when you are ready to invest you get confused. For instance when you find out “additional terms” such as minimum amount of investment has to be $10,000 or more in order to gain desirable payout interest, etc
Contrary to them our plans can be described as “what you see is what you get”. As an example: our first plan is 2% daily forever. With lock down period of 3 days.
Second plan is 3% daily and Principal will be automatically returned to the account in 5 days.
And last but most loved by our investors plan is 4% daily where principal is returned in 7 days to the investor’s account.
All percentages are FIXED regardless of the amount investor chooses to invest.
But detailed descriptions of all plans and terms can be found in “Plans overview” section of the site.
We’re currently accepting Perfect Money, Bitcoin, Payeer, EgoPay and Bank Wire. But we are working on adding more merchants to our system which will allow more flexibility in the future. And our investors and subscribers get notified as soon as any exciting changes take place.
4. Can you give us an idea of which plans are the most popular in comparison to each other? I would also ask about the perpetual (no expiry) plan. Some time back these were among the most popular in the industry, but recently, for various reasons, many investors are beginning to turn against them. What has your own experience been here?
Well, initially we were planning to roll out perpetual plan as 2% for 3 days with principal back. But later we figured it would be more convenient for our investors to have the ability to withdraw their principal at any time. No penalties, no “surprising” rules, really withdraw at any time after 3 days. This plan is ideal for the ones who want to test our company out. I would love to keep “withdraw at any time” without 3 days grace period but we accumulated quite a few “Referral Commission Back” abuse and had to modify the terms. But you may have read this information in our earlier newsletter.
In regards to preference I have to admit that people are investing in various plans. What I noticed is that rookie investors are leaning towards 2% daily plan. And my guess would be that they want to get familiar with our company and test us out. But a savvy and serious investors prefer 4% daily for its higher interest. Either way, all our plans are thought out through and regardless of your investment experience you would find the one that fits your profit desires.
5. How secure is the MaestroCapitalGroup website? What are you doing to protect it and members’ accounts from hackers? Are you on a dedicated server? Who is your host? What kind of anti-DDoS protection do you have?
I’m proud to say that MaestroCapitalGroup takes security of the company really seriously. We’re hosted on one amongst the best DdoS protected servers in the industry Ddos-guard. Moreover these servers are self-managed and my team personally manages security and safety, keeps track of recent vulnerabilities and adjusting servers to sustain current attacks whether it would be MySql or PHP injections.
But as you may know, no matter how hard you try to protect your server and your script there will always be new vulnerabilities because technology is never perfect. Even sophisticated and most protected government institutions and huge bank servers are being hacked and successfully DdoSed.
That’s why we also have a person that manually monitors activity of everything happening in the company and manages any unusual activity.
6. What kind of script is MaestroCapitalGroup off? Where did you get it, how safe is it, and why do you think this one is most beneficial for you as an admin and your members?
As you outlined before in a review we’re running on Gold Coder’s script. Daniel (Gold Coder’s developer) does a great job supporting his product and he proved to be the most reliable in the industry.
Therefore it was an easy choice for us. And of course investors are really familiar with this script and don’t feel confused using it.
7. Can we see any statistics regarding MaestroCapitalGroup? How many members have joined since the beginning and how many are active at the moment? Are you pleased with the support from the members so far? How important a role do they play in bringing in new members?
Great question Paul and interesting that you asked it. The reason being we have an open statistics of current statuses of active and inactive members, which you can find on our main page. We have nothing to hide. We essentially planned to reveal the statistics of last investors and top 10 investments but were asked to obey investors privacy. And because we pay very close attention to our investors requests so this time was not an exception.
At the time of writing we have a little over 300 members of which 160 are active and we are really pleased with the steady growth of the company and members activity.
We’re really pleased with the support from our investors, they are very active and very involved into the prosperity. Their feedback is always encouraged, heard and acted on immediately. Our investors are the ones who motivate us to develop and bring new features. We heard often from our members that they love the speed we act on their requests and therefore they spread the word to their friends, family and acquaintances. Basically I can’t complain and only grateful to our members.
8. How can members contact you if they have any questions or support related issues? Also tell us about your Live Chat feature, such as what times is it operational, and exactly how much are the operators there able to do for members beyond simply answering any general information inquiries.
Currently hours of operation are 10.00 – 19.00 GMT with over-time when chat is overloaded and needs extra attention. I’m planning to add general support agents in addition to experienced technical support person I presently have, who currently answers program questions as well as solves technical issues. She has general access to admin panel and can manage and adjust accounts accordingly, take care of payment issues, reactivate and unlock accounts if user enters his password 5 times incorrectly. Kimberly is far more knowledgeable than just being a customer support. It had been proven she is brilliant under pressure and like I said earlier, she has ton of patience. She literally takes you by the hand and walks you through all process assisting you in every little detail that you are concerned about. Fantastic professional to work with.
9. What have been the most common questions and problems you’ve had to deal with so far? Is there anything you wish to say here so that members can avoid having to contact you later?
Well one question keeps repeatedly being asked is about profit calculation. People are getting confused by calculator which initially has been placed for convenience. For instance if member invests $100 in our 4% daily for 7 days plan. Profit will be $4/daily and total profit will add up to $28. But some investors think that by the end of 7th day they’ll receive $128 profit instead of $28.
Otherwise generally in every newsletter we’re addressing issues our investors experienced and expressed. We try to solve these issues as fast as they arise. And in the same letters we’re encouraging investors as well as promoters contact us either by email or live chat to share their view and experience.
10. How have you been promoting MaestroCapitalGroup so far? What advertising strategy have you been using? How are you getting new members to join?
MaestroCapitalGroup is using various advertising methods. Special attention was devoted to reliable monitoring services, who constantly post up to date information of our activity. Moreover we acquiring promotional material such as banners from the leaders in this industry.
However what we have noticed a large part of our investors are coming from the word of the mouth. Which of course makes us very happy to realise that we achieved high level of trust in the industry. That’s why we decided to modify our referral system to motivate and reward our ambitious investors additionally (they get extra bonus as mentioned before) for getting involved in growing the company. So we basically give them extra way to benefit even greater throughout the way of their super activity.
And we never stop working on new ways to improve promotion of the company and adjusting business model with our investors and promoters in mind.
11. In your most recent newsletter to members there seems to be some debate over you referral commission system. Please explain how the updated version now works, and any other promotional bonuses that might be available to the more enterprising members prepared to make an effort.
That’s true. Since we want to reward our enterprising members as you called them, we modified our referral program. It is only natural that the ones who work more and who are more active and more aggressive in their efforts deserve the most benefit and extra monetary glory.
So modification to the referral program had been made to give an opportunity for big timers wanting big profits and small timers who want to become big ones to gain a higher reward for the effort they put into promoting MaestroCapitalGroup.
Moreover we added a bonus that people can request once they hit certain number of active investors.
We sure could have made bonus system fully automated but we have decided to run bonus issuance manually because we truly want a personal contact with our most successful members.
12. MaestroCapitalGroup does I can see have a Facebook page, but if you don’t mind me saying so you’ve made almost no use of it. Why not? Do you think social networking sites like them, Twitter, etc can be highly effective marketing tools in an age where there are literally billions of such accounts, both business and personal, worldwide?
Yes, we’re aware of that and thank you for pointing it out. We’re looking for the ways to promote through Facebook and other social networks. And also looking for ways to reward investors for sharing our page with their friends. This is where we got stuck Paul and may need help of your loyal readers.
As of right now we are looking for ideas to reward the ones who share more actively on their social networks, so any ideas from readers with large facebook friend base are welcome. Feel free to contact our customer support Kimberly with your ideas and all of us will love to discuss with you rewarding ways of cooperation.
Meanwhile everybody is still welcome to share our company’s page for a generous referral commission that we provide and receive great bonuses.
13. What exactly are you doing with investors money? How are you investing it and how are you generating the profits being made to members?
Well, let me start with identifying the fact that the most consumed product in this world is food (whether it is vegetables or meat). “Civilisation as it is known today could not have evolved, nor can it survive, without an adequate food supply” as it’s been said by Norman Ernest Borlaug (famous biologist and humanitarian).
Main idea behind the company is investment in agricultural start ups: in stocks of the companies, factories and businesses that focus and produce organic foods.
I can go on about this exciting field for days, but I think it would be more practical to access in detail information on our website.
14. And finally is there anything else you wish to say not covered in this interview? Also please feel free to comment on the review of your program published on MNO. If there was anything you felt was unfair, mistaken, or in any way in need of clarification then you are welcome to explain this in your own words here.
Thank you for this opportunity to introduce our company to your entrepreneurial audience and your invitation to get interviewed. It is our an honour to be featured on MNO blog.
And thank you for your fair review and critique, you covered everything perfectly in it. Your review describes the business model of MaestroCapitalGroup in great details and with very clear understanding of the opportunity project.
And want to wish every hard working person prosperity and achieving their financial goals by the end of this year. Their investment attempts to result in achieving complete prosperity.”
Thanks a lot for reading and I just want to finish by saying a big thank you to Frank from MaestroCapitalGroup for the interview you’ve just read above. I hope you found it interesting if you happen to be a member of that program, or useful in deciding if it’s suitable for you if you haven’t joined yet. Either way, best of luck to Frank in the continuing success of MaestroCapitalGroup, and doubly so to all the investors there. I sincerely hope it works out well for everyone involved.
And now let’s see the two new additions to the MNO Premium list that I mentioned earlier.
DAILYPROFIT INTRODUCTION
The first program to be introduced tonight is called simply DailyProfit. You might want to know how it came that the domain name for this website is still on the market, but you might be surprised as the secret is in the site’s extension which belongs Montenegro. I’ll talk more on that in tomorrow’s review of the program, but first let’s see what the investment plans are. Well, actually there’s only one plan paying a fixed 2% to 5% daily interest rate (depending on the size of your investment) for a 15 calendar day term with the possibility to withdraw your principal early any time after the first accrual. If you prefer to stay for the full term then it will be returned on expiry. By the way, DailyProfit is running off a licensed version of the famously expensive Shadow script (read the interview with its developer here). The more experienced investors will know that (because of how this script works) in order to make an investment in DailyProfit you’re required to fund your e-wallet first starting from a $20 minimum via PerfectMoney, EgoPay, Payeer, or BitCoin and only then are you allowed to actually make an investment by clicking on the Daily Plan tab in your DailyProfit account dashboard. On a side note, in the introductory news article posted on his website the admin promised to think about the addition of an hourly paying plan soon, so don’t be too surprised to see that happen soon:
“Launching
Hello, dear members. We are launching our High Yield Investment program. With us you can earn daily and not worried about getting scammed in few days. We are here for 2015. Let’s do this together.
Instant payments might be enabled after some while and new hourly plan can be added soon after launch as well, with no more then 105% per 24 hours.
Stay tuned. Admin”.
It’s kind of a bold statement about DailyProfit staying online in 2015 provided you know how volatile Christmas can be for such short-term programs, but at least if that is the admin’s genuine intention we can only encourage him and wish him good luck. By the way, in order to use your early opt-out clause in DailyProfit you can wait until the first accrual in your account happens and then click on the tab “My Daily Plans” and choose the active deposit you wish to close by clicking on the green circular arrow button. Anyway, I’ll tell you more about all that tomorrow. My own withdrawals from DailyProfit have been done very fast so far and according to the program’s FAQ they shouldn’t exceed 6 hours, which should be please everyone as long as the admin keeps it up. As for the technical side of things I’ve already mentioned the script, the site is hosted on a dedicated server with support and protection by DDoSGuard, and features an SSL-cert by Comodo. And almost forgot to mention that the admin of DailyProfit is clearly a professional in the HYIP industry and knows what he’s doing as he has purchased the top big banner on the MNO blog for one month straight away on the program’s launch which really speaks volumes about his intentions and initial advertising budget. And who knows – perhaps, we really will see DailyProfit alive and kicking in 2015? Anyway, I wish the admin good luck with that and don’t miss the full review tomorrow!
SAFEKAPITAL INTRODUCTION
The second program to join the MNO Premium list on launching earlier today is called SafeKapital. Yep, that’s “Kapital with a capital K” which is a bit weird but there you go. The program’s official name is Safe Kapital Investments Ltd under which name the company is apparently incorporated in the UK. Well, let’s be clear the certificate displayed on the website means nothing as they can be purchased cheaply, anonymously, and legally online for a few bucks (click here to read an old article on how that works). But anyway, the SafeKapital website still really impressed me at first glance, pleasing to the eye with my favorite color green, and a spectacular design which nearly made me forget that it’s actually running off a regular GoldCoders script. Security is up to a high standard too with hosting on a dedicated server by DDoSGuard and SSL-security with an Extended Validation Green Bar seal from Comodo. The investment plan offered by SafeKapital can be joined for a $30 minimum (quite a bit higher than average which may not suit smaller investors), but the choice of payment options is superb. This includes not only the standard PerfectMoney, EgoPay, BitCoin, and Payeer, but you will also benefit from the presence of Payza, which is an excellent option for everyone but particularly US investors getting a hard time from the likes of PM and EgoPay withdrawing their services in recent times. As for the investment plan, SafeKapital offers 1% to 3% variable daily return (results are published on the website) over a period of 90 calendar days. Theoretically you could see anything between 90% to 270% profit on expiry after which your deposit in SafeKapital is returned. Withdrawals have to be requested from your account manually and are promised to be completed within 24 hours. My own first withdrawal was much faster so I moved SafeKapital to Paying status on the MNO monitor already. More info will be discussed in detail in a few days in the review, for now you can read the message from the admin welcoming the first investors in SafeKapital on the website:
“SafeKapital Project Started
For over two years, we have been waiting for this moment, and finally, we can announce the opening of our own Safe Kapital Investments LTD online management service web site. We are proud to present you the start of SafeKapital online project and great opportunity for making your investment portfolio. We want to make you confident that all our efforts, experience and due diligence acquired for years will give good results in vast ocean of Internet projects. SafeKapital team utterly believes that this year would give a full blossom to a new and unique project. So we welcome you to our crew and would be happy to be of your assistance. Get closer to small things with enormously big potential. And we will do our best not to disillusion you in this process.”
Well that’s about all for today, guys. I’ll see you all tomorrow then with the final update of the business week which is going to be a detailed review of DailyProfit, a brand new short term program on the MNO Premium list, plus any and all important news stories from the HYIP world. Keep your votes coming on the opinion poll on the MNO TalkBack page by the way, as results will be drawn over the weekend. See you all tomorrow, everyone!
